The Term Loan Facility is not a revolving credit facility; the Borrowers shall have no right to reborrow any portion of any Term Loan that has been repaid.

(b) Requests for Term Loans.

(b) Default Interest. Notwithstanding paragraph (a), immediately and automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under clauses (a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) of Section 7.1, or immediately after written notice by the Lender to the Company after the occurrence and during the continuation of any other Event of Default (and, to the extent specified in such notice, commencing as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default), all outstanding and unpaid Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(c) Interest Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 2.3 Payment of Principal and Interest.

-26-

(a) The Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on the Term Loans in cash on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter (in arrears through the last day of the immediately preceding quarter) and on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

(I) the quarterly interest payment of the Borrowers due and payable on January 2, 2023 (for interest accruing for the quarter ending December 31, 2022) may be paid in kind (such interest, the “Specified 2022 PIK Interest”),

(II) the quarterly interest payments of the Borrowers due and payable on (x) April 3, 2023 (for interest accruing for the quarter ending March 31, 2023) and (y) July 3, 2023 (for interest accruing for the quarter ending June 30, 2023) may be paid in kind (such interest, the “Specified Q1/Q2 2023 PIK Interest”),

(IV) the quarterly interest payments of the Borrowers due and payable on April 1, 2024 (for interest accruing for the quarter ending March 31, 2024) may be paid in kind (such interest, the “Specified Q1 2024 PIK Interest”), and

provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, that the amount of interest paid in kind in respect of the quarter ending June 30, 2023, when combined with any amount of interest paid in kind under the Senior Credit Agreement in respect of the quarter ending June 30, 2023, may not exceed $7,000,000. The Specified PIK Interest shall be deemed paid and discharged, without the taking of any further action by the Borrowers, by automatically adding such Specified PIK Interest to the principal balance of the Term Loans.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, interest accruing at the Default Rate hereunder shall be due and payable upon the Lender’s demand.

Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the Borrowers’ payment obligations hereunder), the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the

-27-

Lender (but with absolutely no obligation) to charge the Interest Reserve Account and, following an Event of Default, any other deposit account of the Borrowers subject to an Account Control Agreement in favor of the Lender for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

Section 2.4 Voluntary Prepayments. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.2 and 2.3 thereof), the Borrowers may at any time upon at least five (5) days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Lender) prior written notice by the Borrowers to the Lender, prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part (provided, that any partial prepayment shall be in an amount greater than or equal to $5,000,000) without premium except as provided in Section 2.10. A prepayment notice delivered by the Borrowers to the Lender shall be irrevocable. An optional prepayment of the Term Loans scheduled or anticipated to occur during any month (x) shall be made and effected on the last Business Day of such month, (y) shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid and any Specified Fee, and (z) to the extent such optional prepayment prepays the Term Loans in whole, shall be accompanied by payment in full of all other Obligations.

Section 2.5 Lender Discretionary Prepayment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.2 and 2.3 thereof), promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) after the occurrence of any Lender Discretionary Prepayment Event, the Borrowers shall inform the Lender in writing of the occurrence of such Lender Discretionary Prepayment Event and, solely to the extent requested by the Lender in writing in its sole discretion, the Borrowers shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such request) remit to the Lender an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds realized by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or Subsidiary from such Lender Discretionary Prepayment Event. For the purpose of this Section 2.5, a “Lender Discretionary Prepayment Event” means the receipt by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or Subsidiary of proceeds from:

(i) the Disposition of any assets by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or Subsidiary (except for Dispositions to the extent permitted by Section 6.4);

(ii) any casualty or other insurance maintained by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or Subsidiary in excess of $2,000,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year (provided that such $2,000,000 minimum threshold shall not apply if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing); provided, however, that if (A) the Company shall deliver a certificate of a Financial Officer to the Lender at the time of receipt thereof setting forth the Borrowers’ intent to reinvest such proceeds in productive assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (or to repair any property damaged in a casualty event) within 365 days of receipt of such proceeds and (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing at the time of such certificate or at the time of the application of such proceeds, such proceeds shall not constitute Net Proceeds except to the extent not so used at the end of such 365-day period, at which time such proceeds shall be deemed to be Net Proceeds; provided, further, if any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing at the time of delivery of the foregoing certificate or at the time of the application of proceeds contemplated thereunder, then 100% of such proceeds (without giving effect to the $2,000,000 minimum threshold set forth above) shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.5(b);

(iii) any condemnation award with respect to property owned by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or Subsidiary in excess of $2,000,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year (provided that such $2,000,000 minimum threshold shall not apply if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing); provided, however, that if (A) the Company shall deliver a certificate of a Financial Officer to the Lender at the time of receipt thereof setting forth the Borrowers’ intent to reinvest such proceeds in productive assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of the Company and its

-28-

Subsidiaries within 365 days of receipt of such proceeds and (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing at the time of such certificate or at the time of the application of such proceeds, such proceeds shall not constitute Net Proceeds except to the extent not so used at the end of such 365-day period, at which time such proceeds shall be deemed to be Net Proceeds; provided, further, if any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing at the time of delivery of the foregoing certificate or at the time of the application of proceeds contemplated thereunder, then 100% of such proceeds (without giving effect to the $2,000,000 minimum threshold set forth above) shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.5(b);

(iv) the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness other than Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.1; and

(v) the issuance of any Equity Interests of any Loan Party or Subsidiary, except for (x) Equity Interests issued to the Company or (y) other Equity Interests (the issuance of such other Equity Interests, the “Permitted Equity Issuances”), but only so long as, in the case of this clause (y), (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of any such Permitted Equity Issuance, (2) such Permitted Equity Issuances do not exceed, individually or in the aggregate, $150,000,000, and (3) no less than 75% of the Net Proceeds of the Permitted Equity Issuances are used by the Borrowers to pay costs in respect of Farm Projects; it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that (I) the issuance of any Equity Interests (other than issuances described in the preceding clause (x)) after March 31, 2024 shall constitute a Lender Discretionary Prepayment Event, and (II) to the extent any Permitted Equity Issuance, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds $150,000,000, such excess shall constitute a Lender Discretionary Prepayment Event.

(b) All amounts (if any) remitted to the Lender under this Section 2.5 shall be applied by the Lender to the payment of the Obligations in such order of application as the Lender may in its sole discretion determine. All prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest upon the principal amount of each such prepayment and, to the extent applicable, the Specified Fee set forth in Section 2.10. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such prepayment shall not constitute or be deemed to be a cure of any Default or Event of Default arising as a result of any Disposition, casualty or condemnation event or otherwise.

Section 2.6 Fees.

(a) Unused Commitment Fee. Accruing from the Closing Date until the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Lender a nonrefundable unused commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) equal to the Unused Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the average daily difference between (i) the Term Loan Amount and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans actually funded under the Term Loan Facility. All Unused Commitment Fees shall be payable quarterly in cash on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter (in arrears through the last day of the immediately preceding quarter) and on the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Unused Commitment Fee of the Borrowers due and payable on April 3, 2023 (for the fee accruing for the quarter ending March 31, 2023) may be paid in kind (such fee, the “Specified PIK Fee”). The Specified PIK Fee shall be deemed paid and discharged, without the taking of any further action by the Borrowers, by automatically adding such Specified PIK Fee to the principal balance of the Term Loans. After such Specified PIK Fee is added to the principal balance, such Specified PIK Fee shall be treated as principal for all purposes hereunder and shall itself bear interest.

(b) Other Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Lender such other fees as agreed in the Fee Letters.

-29-

Section 2.7 Evidence of Debt. The Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the Term Loans. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to this Section shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein. Any failure of the Lender to maintain such records or make any entry therein or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Upon the request of the Lender at any time, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to the Lender a Term Loan Note.

Section 2.8 Payments Generally.

(a) Payments by Borrowers. All payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, and without condition or deduction (except as required under Section 2.8(c)) for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. All payments shall be made to the Lender in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. All amounts received by the Lender after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall fall due on a day that is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such next succeeding Business Day would fall after the Maturity Date, payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied in such order of application as the Lender in its sole discretion determines.

(c) Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by any Law. If payor shall be required by any Laws to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Obligation, (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholding (including deductions or withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.8(c)), each payee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholding been made, (ii) the payor shall make such deductions or withholding, (iii) the payor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within 30 days, as soon as possible thereafter), the payor shall furnish to such payee the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence acceptable to such payee. In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any Other Taxes. If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, the Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers, the Lender shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will enable the Borrowers to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. For purposes of this Section 2.8(c), the terms “Law” and “Applicable Law” shall include FATCA (and any amendments made thereto after the date of this Agreement).

(d) Tax Indemnity. The Borrowers and each Guarantor agree to indemnify the Lender for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes payable by the Lender (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.8(d)) and (ii) any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether

-30-

or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered by the Lender, accompanied by a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.9 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Lender, (ii) subject the Lender to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (iii) impose on the Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Term Loans made by the Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making, continuing or maintaining the Term Loans, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Lender, the Borrowers will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender as specified in this Section 2.9 and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.10 Specified Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender:

(a) with respect to any Fee Determination Date occurring prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the First Amendment Funding Date, a fee equal to the present value (such present value shall be computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus fifty (50) basis points) of the amount (to the extent positive) of interest that would have accrued on the Term Loan Facility in accordance with this Agreement had a principal balance equal to the Term Loan Amount remained outstanding during the period commencing on such Fee Determination Date and ending on the Maturity Date, taking into account all interest accrued and paid prior to such Fee Determination Date;

(b) with respect to any Fee Determination Date occurring on or after the second (2nd) anniversary of the First Amendment Funding Date but prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the First Amendment Funding Date, a fee equal to the present value (such present value shall be

-31-

computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus fifty (50) basis points) of the amount (to the extent positive) of interest that would have accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans as of such Fee Determination Date in accordance with this Agreement had such principal balance remained outstanding during the period commencing on such Fee Determination Date and ending on the Maturity Date, taking into account all interest accrued and paid prior to such Fee Determination Date and the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans as of the Fee Determination Date;

(c) with respect to any Fee Determination Date occurring on or after the third (3rd) anniversary of the First Amendment Funding Date but prior to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the First Amendment Funding Date, a fee equal to 5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans being prepaid as of such Fee Determination Date;

(d) with respect to any Fee Determination Date occurring on or after the fourth (4th) anniversary of the First Amendment Funding Date but prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the First Amendment Funding Date, a fee equal to 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans being prepaid as of such Fee Determination Date; and

(e) with respect to any Fee Determination Date occurring on or after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the First Amendment Funding Date but prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the First Amendment Funding Date, a fee equal to 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans being prepaid as of such Fee Determination Date;

(the fees described in the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), the “Specified Fees”); provided, that no Specified Fee shall apply to prepayments of the Term Loans made on or after the sixth (6th) anniversary of the First Amendment Funding Date. The Borrowers agree that each Specified Fee is a fee that, as of a Fee Determination Date, is deemed fully earned. Each Specified Fee shall be due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the applicable Fee Determination Date. Once paid, no Specified Fee or any portion thereof shall be refundable under any circumstance.

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Lender are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers or privileges that the Lender would otherwise have.

Section 8.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of the Project Consultant and of outside counsel for the Lender) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and

(c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Term Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

The Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans or commitments of the Lender under the Term Loan Facility), provided that such assignment shall be subject to the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender may participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans) without the prior written consent of the Borrowers. 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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.6 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in any Loan Document or other documents delivered in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant hereto or thereto shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and the making of the Term Loans hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of the Term Loans, and shall continue in full force and effect until Payment in Full. The provisions of Sections 8.3 and 8.14 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Payment in Full or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

Section 8.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

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

Section 8.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 8.12 PATRIOT Act. The Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow the Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. The Borrowers will, promptly following a request by the Lender, provide all documentation and other information, including, without limitation, the certification regarding beneficial ownership of legal entity customers (the “Beneficial Ownership Certification”) (if any Borrower is a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation), that the Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing

Any amount collected by the Lender that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Term Loans or refunded to the Borrowers so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of the Term Loans exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.

Section 8.14 Payments Set Aside; Reinstatement of Liens. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to the Lender and such payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred. In addition, in the event that the Lender is required to return funds received after Payment in Full and release of the Liens to any Loan Parties or estates thereof or Persons claiming through the foregoing, in connection with a proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, then the Liens granted pursuant to the Loan Documents shall automatically be reinstated without further action of the Loan Parties. This Section 8.14 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.15 Joint and Several Liability. EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT IT IS LIABLE, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, WITH EACH OTHER BORROWER FOR THE PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT THE LENDER CAN ENFORCE SUCH OBLIGATIONS AGAINST ANY OR ALL BORROWERS, IN THE LENDER’S SOLE AND UNLIMITED DISCRETION. Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender that it has established adequate means of obtaining from every other Borrower on a continuing basis financial and other information relating to the financial condition of such other Borrower, and each Borrower agrees to keep adequately informed by such means of any facts, events or circumstances which might in any way affect its risks hereunder. Each Borrower further agrees that the Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to it any information or material about any other Borrower which is acquired by the Lender in any manner. Until Payment in Full has occurred, each Borrower waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower or any other Person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the Lender.

Section 8.16 The Company as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Lender shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (a) to provide the Lender with all notices with respect to Term Loans obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and any notice or instruction provided by Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to be given by all Borrowers hereunder and shall bind each Borrower), (b) to receive notices and instructions from the Lender (and any notice or instruction provided by the Lender to the Administrative Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been given to each Borrower), (c) to execute, deliver and perform any Loan Document on behalf of such Borrower (it being understood and agreed that any Loan Document that is binding on the Administrative Borrower will be deemed binding on all Borrowers), and (d) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Term Loans and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other

-75-

Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Borrower of its powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Lender and hold the Lender harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lender by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (x) the handling of any Collateral of the Borrowers as provided in this Section 8.16, or (y) the Lender relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower.

Section 8.17 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (a) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between such Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Lender has advised or is advising such Borrower or any Subsidiary on other matters and irrespective of any Equity Interest of such Borrower held by the Lender (if any), (b) the services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lender are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lender, on the other hand, (c) such Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate, (d) such Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents, (e) the Lender has no obligation to such Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and (f) the Lender and its Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and the Lender has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 8.17 CALIFORNIA JUDICIAL REFERENCE. IF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS FILED IN A COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, (A) THE COURT SHALL, AND IS HEREBY DIRECTED TO, MAKE A GENERAL REFERENCE PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 638 TO A REFEREE (WHO SHALL BE A SINGLE ACTIVE OR RETIRED JUDGE) TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ALL OF THE ISSUES IN SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING (WHETHER OF FACT OR OF LAW) AND TO REPORT A STATEMENT OF DECISION, PROVIDED THAT AT THE OPTION OF ANY PARTY TO SUCH PROCEEDING, ANY SUCH ISSUES PERTAINING TO A “ PROVISIONAL REMEDY” AS DEFINED IN CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 1281.8 SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY THE COURT, AND (B) WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF SECTION 8.3, THE BORROWERS SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE TO PAY ALL FEES AND EXPENSES OF ANY REFEREE APPOINTED IN SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
