For the avoidance of doubt, if the BVI Borrower has made an Limited Condition Election and any of the terms for which compliance was determined or tested as of the Limited Condition Test Date are thereafter no longer satisfied, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such terms will nevertheless be deemed to have been satisfied.

(b) If the BVI Borrower has made an Limited Condition Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio with respect to any other transactions on or following the relevant Limited Condition Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for, or offer in respect of, such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio shall be calculated (and tested) on a Pro Forma Basis (X) assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) had been consummated on the Limited Condition Test Date and (Y) solely to the extent such ratio is being calculated and tested in connection with a Restricted Payment, assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (excluding any Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Net Income of the target and any incurrence of Debt) had not been consummated on the Limited Condition Test Date.

Article II
THE COMMITMENTS AND LOANS

Section 2.01 The Closing Date Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including as set forth in Article V), each Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make Closing Date Loans to the Borrowers on the Closing Date, in a principal amount that (a) does not exceed such Lender’s Commitment in respect thereof and (b) will not cause such Lender’s share of the Closing Date Loans to exceed the total Commitments in respect thereof of all Lenders. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) The Closing Date Loans shall be made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments in respect thereof. The failure of any Lender to make the portion of the Closing Date Loans required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders to make Closing Date Loans are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make its share of the Loans as required.

Section 2.02 Borrowings of Loans.

(a) To request a Borrowing, each Borrower requesting a Borrowing shall give written notice (a “Borrowing Request”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto to the Administrative Agent of each proposed Borrowing not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, which, in the case of the initial Borrowing, shall be the Closing Date.

(b) Each Borrowing Request shall specify: (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, (ii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, which shall not be in excess of the unadvanced and uncancelled Commitments on the proposed Borrowing Date, (iii) the portions of such Borrowing that shall be comprised of LIBOR Loans and/or ABR Loans, as

applicable, (iv) with respect to any LIBOR Loans under the requested Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applied for purposes of calculating the LIBO Rate for such Loans (which, in the case of the Closing Date Loans, shall be as set forth in Section 12.26(c)), (v) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, and (vi) the location and number of the accounts to which funds are to be disbursed (which account information may be updated by notice to the Administrative Agent).

(c) Each Borrowing Request shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers; provided that such Borrowing Request may state that it is conditioned upon the consummation of a specified event, in which case such Borrowing Request may be revoked by the BVI Borrower if such condition is not satisfied.

(d) Following receipt of a Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the requested Borrowing. Unless BVI Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable Lender shall have agreed to alternate borrowing procedures, each applicable Lender shall make the amount of its applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the office specified by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Request. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in ‎Section 5.01 or 5.02, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall remit all funds so received in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds to the account of the applicable Borrower in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(e) Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and to the Borrowers (it being understood that the Administrative Agent’s failure to do so shall not affect any interest rate applicable hereunder).

Section 2.03 Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may, upon irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay the Loans, in whole or in part; provided that: (a) in the case of any such voluntary prepayment of the Loans made during the period after the Closing Date to and including the first anniversary of the Closing Date, such prepayment shall be made together with the applicable Prepayment Premium, (b) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days prior to any Prepayment Date, (c) any prepayment of the Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and the amount of such prepayment, and (d) such notice of prepayment may state that it is conditioned upon the consummation of a specified event, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the BVI Borrower if such condition is not satisfied. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage). If such notice is given by any Borrower, the applicable Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Each prepayment shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any Prepayment Premium and any additional amounts required pursuant to ‎Section 3.03. Each

prepayment of any Class of outstanding Loans pursuant to this ‎Section 2.03 shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

Section 2.04 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Concurrently with the receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Casualty Event, Taking, Asset Sale or Termination Payment, in excess of $10,000,000 in aggregate following the Closing Date, such Loan Party shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, promptly prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such excess Net Cash Proceeds; provided that, so long as (i) no Specified Event of Default or Event of Default occurring pursuant to Section 9.01(c) as a result of a violation of Section 7.01(b), Section 7.01(d), clause (i) of Section 7.02(a), or Section 8.14 shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Obligations have not been accelerated Pursuant to Section 9.02(b) following the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Borrowers shall have the option, directly or through one or more of their Subsidiaries, to invest such excess Net Cash Proceeds within three hundred sixty-five (365) days of receipt thereof in assets used or useful in the Businesses (including Permitted Acquisitions and other permitted Investments); provided, further, that if Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a legally binding commitment (and has provided the Administrative Agent a copy of such binding commitment for distribution to the Lenders) to invest such excess Net Cash Proceeds within such 365-day period, it may directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries so invest such excess Net Cash Proceeds within the later of (X) three hundred sixty-five (365) days following the receipt of such excess Net Cash Proceeds or (Y) one hundred eighty (180) days following the date such Borrower or Subsidiary entered into such legally binding commitment.

(b) Concurrently with the incurrence or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Debt (other than Debt expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to ‎Section 8.01), such Loan Party shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary from such incurrence or issuance.

(c) Immediately upon a Change in Control, the Loan Parties shall prepay the Loan in full together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

Such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to any Prepayment Date. Each such notice shall specify the date and the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the BVI Borrower, the applicable Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Each prepayment shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to ‎Section 3.03 and, in the case of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans with Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale or, to the extent resulting from voluntary termination of a Material Water Contract

by any Loan Party, Termination Payment pursuant to Section 2.04(a) above and any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.04(b) and 2.04(c) above, in each case, if such prepayment is made at any time during the first year after the Closing Date, the applicable Prepayment Premium in respect of the Loans. Each prepayment of any Class of outstanding Loans pursuant to this ‎Section 2.04 shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the relevant Facilities.

Section 2.05 Interest Elections.

(a) The Borrowers shall have the option to (i) convert at any time all or any part of any Class of Loan equal from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan, and (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal as a LIBOR Loan.

(b) The applicable Borrower (or BVI Borrower) shall deliver an Interest Election to the Administrative Agent by no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time on the proposed Interest Election Date (in the case of a conversion to an ABR Loan) and at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Interest Election (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Loan).

Section 2.06 Repayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date (which amount shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in ‎Section 2.03 and ‎2.04).

(b) The Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are general obligations of the Borrowers, and the recourse of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in respect thereof is not limited to the Collateral or any portion thereof or to any particular Property of the Borrower.

Section 2.07 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) below, (i) each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin, and (ii) each ABR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate as of the first Business Day of the relevant Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) While any Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(c) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(d) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(e) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan and the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Loan shall be selected by the BVI Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide notice to the relevant Lenders) pursuant to the applicable Borrowing Request or Interest Election delivered pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.06, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Borrowing Request or an Interest Election has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then such Loan shall be an LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month.

(f) In connection with LIBOR Loans there shall be no more than two (2) Interest Periods outstanding in respect of any Class of such Loans at any time. In the event the Borrower fails to specify between an ABR Loan or a LIBOR Loan in the applicable Borrowing Request or Interest Election, such Loan (i) if outstanding as LIBOR Loan, will be automatically continued as a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan, (ii) if outstanding as an ABR Loan, will remain as an ABR Loan, or (iii) if not then-outstanding, will be made as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of three (3) months.

Section 2.08 Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the applicable Fee Letter.

Section 2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. The applicable LIBO Rate or Alternate Base Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to ‎Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent demonstrable error.

Section 2.10 Notes.

(a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the

accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of demonstrable error. In addition to such accounts or records, upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a NY Law Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, type, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto; provided that BVI Borrower is promptly given a copy of any such schedule and any updates made thereto. The mutilation, loss, theft or destruction of a Note shall not imply or be deemed to constitute a cancellation of debt or of any other Obligation under or in respect of this Agreement or any Loan, even if any such event has occurred due to acts attributable to any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent. If a Note is mutilated, the applicable Borrower shall issue and deliver a new Note of the same principal amount and maturity as the mutilated Note, provided that such mutilated Note shall be returned to such Borrower. If a Note is lost, stolen or destroyed, the applicable Borrower shall, promptly upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, issue and deliver to the applicable Lender a new Note of the same principal amount and maturity as the lost, stolen or destroyed Note subject to receipt of a customary lost note affidavit from such Lender and indemnity satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and the satisfaction by the applicable Lender of any other action or requirement that may be applicable according to the Applicable Law. In the event that one or more Notes shall be issued after the date hereof, it shall not be necessary to tender or present any such Note to the Administrative Agent for any payment hereunder, except in connection with (but, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to) the payment in full of the Obligations thereunder.

(b) The Peru Borrower shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of (i) the disbursement of any Peru Loan, (ii) notice of the effectiveness of the assignment of any Peru Loan in accordance with Section 12.07, or (iii) the creation of any new Class of Peru Loans, as applicable, deliver to the Administrative Agent in escrow each of (A) an executed blank Peru Law Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto and (B) an executed blank Peru Law Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A-4 hereto, in each case, together with (C) executed Peru Completion Agreements in favor of each Lender holding the applicable Class of Peru Loans, in the case of the foregoing clause (ii), subject to the surrender of any Peru Law Notes held by the Administrative Agent in escrow on behalf of any Lender that assigns 100% of its outstanding Peru Loans in connection with such assignment; provided that (i) no such Peru Law Note or Peru Completion Agreement shall be effective until released from escrow in accordance with Section 9.02(e) and (ii) at no time shall the Peru Borrower be required to deliver more Peru Law Notes or Peru Completion Agreements than are necessary to ensure that each Lender has one original of each of the documents described in the foregoing clauses (A) through (C) in respect of each Class of Peru Loans it holds.

Section 2.11 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Claw-back.

(a) General. All payments to be made by each Loan Party shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by such Loan Party hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed. All payments shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars not later than 2:00 p.m. on

the date specified herein to the Administrative Agent’s Account. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Class (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, no payment received directly or indirectly from any Loan Party that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall be applied directly or indirectly by the Administrative Agent or otherwise to the payment of any Excluded Swap Obligations.

(b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with ‎Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the each of applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at: (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the applicable Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the applicable Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to such Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by

the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the applicable Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error.

(d) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this ‎Article II, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in ‎Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to ‎Section 12.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under ‎Section 12.03(c) 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 or to make its payment under ‎Section 12.03(c).

(f) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan 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 Loan in any particular place or manner.

(g) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied: first (in each case on a pro rata basis to the recipients thereof based upon the amounts then owed to them) to pay fees and expenses due to the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents, then to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, then to pay principal of the Loans and then to pay any and all other amounts payable to the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents.

(h) Borrowing Agency. Each Borrower (other than the BVI Borrower) hereby irrevocably appoints the BVI Borrower as its agent, attorney-in-fact and representative for the purpose of (A) the giving and receipt of notices by and to the Borrowers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, (B) the delivery of all documents, reports, financial statements and written materials required to be delivered by the Borrowers under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents and (C) all other purposes incidental to any of the foregoing; each such Borrower hereby agrees that any action taken by the BVI Borrower as its agent, attorney-in-fact and representative shall be binding upon such Borrower to the same extent as if directly taken by it.

Section 2.12 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligations greater than its ratable share thereof (according to its Applicable Percentages) then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall: (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other applicable

Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other Obligations owing to them; provided that:

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

(b) the provisions of this Section 2.12 shall not be construed to apply to: (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the applicable 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 (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the applicable Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof.

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.13 Rights of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff: (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of ‎Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (b) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 2.13 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 2.14 Defaulting 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) 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 the definition of Required Lenders; and

(ii) 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 ‎Article IX or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to ‎Section 2.13 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Required Lenders 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 Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Required Lenders; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, 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 Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in ‎Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Applicable Percentages in respect of the relevant Class. 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 pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers 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, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages of the relevant Class, 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 any 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 that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.15 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Any Borrower may at any time after the Closing Date, deliver to the Administrative Agent a request (a “Facilities Increase Request”) to borrow additional Loans (“Additional Loans”; any such increase or incremental borrowing being a “Facilities Increase”); provided that:

(i) Any such Facilities Increase shall be in an amount not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of Additional Loans such that, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Additional Loans, the Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, each calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as of the Applicable Determination Date (giving effect to the incurrence of such Additional Loans on a Pro Forma Basis in the calculation of Consolidated Total Debt) would not respectively exceed 4.30:1.00 or 5.00:1.00.

(ii) no such Facilities Increase shall be effective earlier than twenty (20) Business Days (or such shorter time as the Lenders providing such Facilities Increase may agree) after the delivery of the Facilities Increase Request to the Administrative Agent;

(iii) such Facilities Increase shall be used to finance Permitted Acquisitions (or other acquisitions approved by the Required Lenders) and related closing costs, permitted Investments, Capital Expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes;

(iv) prior to consummating a Facilities Increase, the applicable Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate demonstrating that, upon giving effect to such Facilities Increase, on a Pro Forma Basis, the Borrowers would be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.14 as of the most recent Fiscal Quarter with respect to which the Borrowers were required to deliver financial statements pursuant to Section 7.01;

(v) both before and after giving effect to any such Facilities Increase, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(vi) such Facilities Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5.0 million; and

(vii) in the event that the Yield for any Additional Loans is higher than the Yield for the Closing Date Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Margin for the Closing Date Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the

Yield for the Closing Date Loans is equal to the Yield for such Additional Loans minus 50 basis points; and

(viii) Additional Loans shall otherwise be on non-economic terms and conditions no more favorable to the Lenders providing such Additional Loans than those applicable to the Closing Date Loans unless otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders; provided that to the extent any more favorable term is added for the benefit of the Lenders providing such Additional Loans no consent shall be required by the Required Lenders to the extent (1) such terms are conformed (or added) in this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders hereunder pursuant to an amendment hereto subject solely to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent or (2) applicable solely to periods after the Maturity Date.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of any Facilities Increase Request it receives from any Borrower in connection with a proposed Facilities Increase. Each such Lender may, in its sole discretion, commit to participate in such Facilities Increase by forwarding its commitment thereto to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the BVI Borrower, within the time period specified in such Facilities Increase Request. The commitments to be made as part of the Facilities Increase shall be allocated to the Lenders providing such commitments on a pro rata basis. If the Administrative Agent does not receive (i) notice from existing Lenders indicating such Lenders’ interest in providing sufficient commitments to effectuate the Facilities Increase within five (5) Business Days of delivery of the applicable Facilities Increase Request and (ii) sufficient commitments from existing Lenders to effectuate the Facilities Increase within fifteen (15) Business Days of delivery of the applicable Facilities Increase Request, the applicable Borrower may seek commitments therefor from other Persons (each such Person, an “Additional Lender”); provided that, such commitments shall be on terms no better than those offered to the existing Lenders, including but not limited to any fees, side fees or other arrangements; provided, further that, the Administrative Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) to such Additional Lender receiving such commitment if such consent would be required under Section 12.07 for an assignment of Loans to such Additional Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate any Lender to participate in any Facilities Increase.

(c) Any such Facilities Increase shall become effective on a date agreed by the applicable Borrower and the Lenders providing such Facilities Increase (a “Facilities Increase Date”), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02; provided that, if the proceeds of a Facilities Increase are used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, the Lenders providing such Facilities Increase may agree to limit the condition precedent requiring the representations and warranties herein to be true as of the date of such Facilities Increase to certain specified representations and, to the extent applicable, acquisition agreement representations.

(d) The Facilities Increase shall be evidenced by an amendment or supplement to this Agreement executed by the Borrowers (and consented to by all other Loan Parties), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Facilities Increase (each such amendment or supplement, a “Facilities Increase Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, upon closing of a Facilities Increase, new Lenders participating in such Facilities Increase shall for all purposes be

deemed to be Lenders, and the Additional Loans made pursuant to such Facilities Increase shall for all purposes be deemed to be Loans hereunder.

Article III
YIELD PROTECTION, ILLEGALITY AND TAXES

Section 3.01 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, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate);

(ii) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any LIBOR Loan made by it (or on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto), or change the basis of taxation in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes covered by ‎Section 3.04 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender, its Applicable Lending Office or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding

company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(b) and delivered to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers absent demonstrable error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.01 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the applicable Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) General Application. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be entitled to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 unless it is such Lender’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit, loan or other similar agreements, if any.

Section 3.02 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain its LIBOR Loans hereunder, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market (and, in the opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, following which notice: (a) such Lender’s Commitments (if still available) to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain its LIBOR Loans or (b) to the extent necessary to comply with such Change in Law, such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be prepaid by the Borrowers, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, any amounts due under ‎Section 3.03 and all other amounts payable to such Lender by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, on or before such date as shall be mandated by such Change in Law (such prepayment not being shared as described in ‎Section 2.03 or ‎2.04 with any Lenders not so affected).

Section 3.03 Funding Losses. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Administrative Agent, such amount as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense (including any such actual loss, cost, premium, penalty or expense arising from, without duplication, (a) the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by such Lender to make, maintain or fund all or any part of its Loan, (b) “broken funding”, (c) fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or (d) amounts incurred to terminate, settle or re-establish hedging arrangements or related trading positions (irrespective of the currency thereof)), together with customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing, that such Lender determines are attributable to:

(i) the payment of any principal of any Loan other than on a Payment Date (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(ii) any failure by any Borrower for any reason (including the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in ‎Article V to be satisfied) to make a requested borrowing of Loans hereunder on the requested Borrowing Date specified in the Borrowing Request given pursuant to ‎Section 2.02.

Each Lender shall furnish a notice to the Borrowers setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under this ‎Section 3.03, which notice shall provide reasonable detail as to the calculation of such loss, cost or expense, and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers in the absence of demonstrable error. In the case of the Borrowers’ repayment of any part of the Loan on any date other than a Payment Date, the “loss, cost or expense” incurred by the Lenders shall include, and the Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders, in addition to any other amounts payable by the Borrowers under this ‎Section 3.03, the amount determined by a Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of the Loan, as the case may be, had such repayment not occurred, at the rate of interest then in effect under this Agreement, as the case may be, for the remainder of the Interest Period during which the relevant repayment is made over (y) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount repaid for the remainder of such Interest Period if such principal amount were invested for such remaining period at the interest rate that would be bid to such Lender from banks in the London interbank market at the time repayment occurs.

Section 3.04 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Taxes from any such payment by any 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 Law and, if such Taxes deducted or withheld are Indemnified Taxes, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.04) 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. Without limiting clause (a) above, each Loan Party shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after 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 3.04) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and 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 certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party 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 demonstrable error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, against (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with Section 12.07(e) 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 demonstrable 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 this Agreement or any other 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 clause (e).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.04, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Loan Party and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably required by such Loan Party 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 such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Loan Party 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 Section 3.04(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any

material unreimbursed cost or expenses or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the USA Borrower,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the USA Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the USA 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;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the USA 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 USA Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) 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-E or W-8BEN 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-E or W-8BEN 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;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate as described in Section 3.04(f)(ii)(B)(3) above, 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 as described in Section 3.04(f)(ii)(B)(3) above on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the USA 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 USA Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law 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 law to permit the USA Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the USA Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the USA Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the USA Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the USA 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 Closing Date.

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 or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.04 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.04), 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 3.04 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes or Other 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 the indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (g) (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 clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) 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 the 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 3.04 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

Section 3.05 Alternate Rate of Interest. If, on or before the Business Day immediately prior to any requested Interest Period (an “Affected Interest Period”):

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error) that: (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount of an existing or proposed LIBOR Loan for the Affected Interest Period or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for such Affected Interest Period with respect to an existing or proposed LIBOR Loan; or

(b) the Required Lenders determine and notify the Administrative Agent that the LIBO Rate for such Affected Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans for such Affected Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders by e-mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist: (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended and the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending Borrowing Request of LIBOR Loans (or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for an ABR Loan) and (ii) in the event of a determination described in this Section 3.05 with respect to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBO Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended.

Section 3.06 Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under ‎Section 3.01, or requires a Borrower to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to ‎Section 3.04, then such Lender shall (at the request of such Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment: (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to ‎Section 3.01 or ‎3.04, 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. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to ‎Section 3.01 or ‎3.04 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with clause (a) above or any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, ‎Section 12.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent a transaction/activity fee (as described in the Agent Fee Letter);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under ‎Section 3.03), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a requirement for payments to be made pursuant to ‎Section 3.01 or ‎3.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 9.03 Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if requested by the Required Lenders, or upon acceleration of all the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.02, all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral under any Loan Document (or, if following acceleration, if any amount is received from any Loan Party) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(b) Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and such other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders, ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this Section 9.03(b) payable to them;

(c) Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest (including, but not limited to, post-petition interest) and any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due under Secured Hedging Agreements constituting Secured Obligations, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this Section 9.03(c) payable to them;

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, no amount received directly or indirectly from any Loan Party that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall be applied directly or indirectly by the Administrative Agent or otherwise to the payment of any Excluded Swap Obligations and Obligations arising under Secured Hedging Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above in clauses (a) through (e) of the first sentence of this Section 9.03 if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation from the applicable Hedge Bank, as the case may be, as may be reasonably necessary to determine the amount of the Obligations owed thereunder.

Article X
AGENCY; ADMINISTRATION

Section 10.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and to perform such duties on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns), and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, 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 Administrative Agent. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Document (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. The permissive authorizations, entitlements, powers and rights (including the right to request that the Borrowers take an action or deliver a document and the exercise of remedies following an Event of Default) granted to Administrative Agent herein shall not be construed as duties. The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for interest or income on any Lender funds held by it hereunder and any such funds so held shall be held un-invested pending distribution thereof. Whether or not explicitly set forth therein, the rights, powers, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to

Administrative Agent herein shall apply to any document entered into by Administrative Agent in connection with its role as Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 10.02 Rights as a Lender. With respect to any Commitment and Loan made by it, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder (and its permitted successors and permitted assigns) 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 “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 make loans to, accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrowers or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrowers or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide, and may be contractually prohibited from providing, such information to them. To the extent the Administrative Agent makes any portion of the Loan hereunder, the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as such, and the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not Administrative Agent.

Section 10.03 Default; Collateral.

(a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, the Required Lenders shall have the sole right to determine a course of action for the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders, and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability to any Person for so refraining) unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders. All rights of action under the Loan Documents and all right to the Collateral, if any, hereunder may be enforced by Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) and any suit or proceeding instituted by Administrative Agent in furtherance of such enforcement shall be brought in its name as Administrative Agent without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any other Lender, and the recovery of any judgment shall be for the benefit of the Lenders subject to the fees and expenses of Administrative Agent. In actions with respect to any Collateral or other property or assets of the Borrowers or any subsidiary, Administrative Agent is acting for the ratable benefit of each Lender (according to their Applicable Percentages). Any and all agreements to subordinate (whether made heretofore or hereafter) other indebtedness or obligations of the Loan Parties to the Debt shall be construed as being for the ratable benefit of each Lender (according to their Applicable Percentages).

(b) Each Lender authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders (or if previously entered into,

hereby ratifies Administrative Agent’s (or any predecessor administrative agent’s) previously entering into such agreements).

(c) Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the power set forth herein or therein, shall be authorized by and binding upon, all of the Lenders.

(d) Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) is hereby authorized (but not obligated) on behalf of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender other than Required Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Property, Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to create, perfect and maintain perfected Liens upon the Collateral and the Properties granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(e) Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any Related Party of a Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Properties exist or are owned (whether in fee or by leasehold) by the Person purporting to own it or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent (or any predecessor administrative agent) herein or pursuant to the Loan Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section 10.03 or in any of the Loan Documents; IT BEING UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT IN RESPECT OF THE LOAN OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION, OR EVENT RELATED THERETO, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY ACT IN ANY MANNER IT MAY DEEM APPROPRIATE, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, AND THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE NO DUTY OR LIABILITY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS TO ANY LENDER OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF ANY LENDER OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON IN THE ABSENCE OF ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to (i) file or prepare any financing or continuation statements or record any documents or instruments in any public office for purposes of creating, perfecting or maintaining any Lien or security interest created under the Loan Documents, (ii) take any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Loan, or (iii) take any action to protect against any diminution in value of the Loan.

(f) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent (upon further written direction of the Required Lenders as provided below) to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent in respect of any Loan: (i) upon the payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate or contingent or reimbursable obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of to a Person that is not a Loan Party pursuant to a sale or disposition that is permitted under this Agreement (and Administrative Agent may, to the extent reasonable, request and in any case shall rely conclusively on a certificate of the BVI Borrower to that effect, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which

100

neither the Borrowers nor any subsidiary owned an interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter, (iv) constituting property leased to the Borrowers or a subsidiary under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by the Borrowers or such subsidiary to be, renewed, (v) upon release of any Guarantor from its Obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of BVI Borrower as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, (vi) consisting of an instrument or other possessory loan evidencing Debt or other obligations pledged to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders), if the Debt or obligations evidenced thereby has been paid in full or otherwise superseded, or (vii) upon the Properties as otherwise contemplated herein and in the other Loan Documents, or if approved, authorized, or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders.

(g) In furtherance of the authorizations set forth in this Section 10.03, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and on behalf of and in the name of each such Lender (i) to enter into Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any appointments of substitute trustees under any Loan Document), (ii) to take action (at the direction of the Required Lenders) with respect to the Loan and Loan Documents to create, perfect, maintain, and preserve the Administrative Agent’s Liens therein, and (iii) to execute instruments of release or to take other action necessary to release Liens upon any Loan or to release Guarantors to the extent authorized herein or in the other Loan Documents. This power of attorney shall be liberally, not restrictively, construed so as to give the greatest latitude to Administrative Agent’s power, as attorney, relative to the guarantee and Loan matters described in this Section 10.03. The powers and authorities herein conferred on Administrative Agent may be exercised by Administrative Agent through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular instrument, is an officer of Administrative Agent (or any Person acting on behalf of Administrative Agent pursuant to a valid power of attorney). The power of attorney conferred by this Section 10.03(g) to Administrative Agent is granted for valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable (subject to Section 10.01) so long as the Debt, or any part thereof, shall remain unpaid or the Lenders are obligated to make any Loan under the Loan Documents.

Section 10.04 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee or fiduciary for any Secured Party, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to

Section 10.10 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that neither Administrative Agent nor any Related Party of Administrative Agent has made any representation or warranty to it other than as expressly set forth herein, and that no act by Administrative Agent or any Related Party thereof hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent or any Related Party thereof to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Administrative Agent or the Related Parties thereof have disclosed material information in their possession.

108

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections ‎2.08, 2.11, 2.13, 3.06(b)(i), ‎12.03 and 12.21) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees that, if the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such Guarantor will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, subject to Section 11.04, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision hereof or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Obligation in respect of any Secured Hedging Agreement shall be payable by or from the assets of any Loan Party if such Loan Party is not, at the later of (i) the time such Secured Hedging Agreement is entered into and (ii) the date such person becomes a Loan Party, an “eligible contract participant” as such term is defined in Section 1(a)(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and no Loan Party shall be deemed to have entered into or guaranteed any Hedging Agreement at any time that such Loan Party is not an eligible contract participant.

110

such Guarantor shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 11.06) for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guarantee subject to avoidance or subordination under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any Applicable Law.

(e) The Guarantee of each of Air-Fin Holding N.V. and Air-Fin Holding Sint Maarten N.V. (each, an “Air-Fin Guarantor”) under this Section 11.01 and its respective liability under this Guarantee is limited to the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the equity of such Air-Fin Guarantor at the time the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Guaranteed Obligations should enforce its rights under this Guarantee against such Air-Fin Guarantor and (ii) any cap (each, an “Air-Fin Cap”) on such liability imposed by the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten (de Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten) and included in the license under the foreign exchange regulations (Regeling Deviezenverkeer Curaçao en Sint Maarten) enacted by the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten with respect to such Air-Fin Guarantor.

Section 11.02 Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor under this ‎Article XI shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than (i) with respect to any modification, amendment or supplement agreed in accordance with the terms hereunder as expressly applying to the obligations of each Guarantor under this ‎Article XI, (ii) an agreement to which such Guarantor is a party, or (iii) a release of a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement);

(d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Loan Party or any other Person, or any event of the type described in ‎Section 9.01(g), ‎(h) or ‎(i) with respect to any Person;

(e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that any Guarantor may have at any time against any Loan Party, any Secured Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or with any unrelated transactions;

(f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Loan Party for any reason of any Loan Document, or any provision of Applicable Law purporting to prohibit the performance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under the Loan Documents (other than

111

any such invalidity or unenforceability with respect solely to the obligations of each Guarantor under this ‎Article XI); or

(g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Loan Party, any Secured Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this ‎Section 11.02, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents.

Section 11.03 Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than inchoate or contingent or reimbursable obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and all of the Commitments shall have terminated. If at any time any payment of principal or interest or any other amount payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrowers or otherwise, then the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 11.04 Waiver by Each Guarantor.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (i) notice of acceptance of the Guarantee provided in this ‎Article XI and notice of any liability to which this Guarantee may apply, (ii) all notices that may be required by Applicable Law or otherwise to preserve intact any rights of any Secured Party against any Loan Party, including any demand, presentment, protest, proof of notice of non-payment, notice of any failure on the part of any Loan Party to perform and comply with any covenant, agreement, term, condition or provision of any agreement and any other notice to any other party that may be liable in respect of the obligations Guaranteed hereby (including any Loan Party), in each case, except any of the foregoing as may be expressly required hereunder, and (iii) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise by any Secured Party of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred upon such Person under the Loan Documents or otherwise and (iv) any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power, privilege or remedy, or set-off, under any Loan Document, or proceed to take any action against any Collateral or against any Loan Party or any other Person under or in respect of any Loan Document or otherwise, or protect, secure, perfect or ensure any Lien on any Collateral.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and each holder of any Guaranteed Obligations may demand payment of, enforce and recover from any Guarantor or any other Person obligated for any or all of such guaranteed obligations in any order and in any manner whatsoever, without any requirement that the Administrative Agent or such holder seek to recover from any particular Guarantor or other Person first or from any Guarantors or other Persons pro rata or on any other basis; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, until the obligations (other than inchoate or contingent or reimbursable obligations for which no claim has been asserted) under the Existing Project Debt is paid in full, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall provide prior written notice (which may be given immediately prior thereto) to the BVI Borrower of any demand

(a) To the extent that any Loan Party shall make a payment under this Article XI of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Loan Party for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Party, exceeds the amount which such Loan Party would otherwise have paid if each Loan Party had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Loan Party’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Loan Parties as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following the payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate or contingent or reimbursable obligations for which no claim has been asserted), such Loan Party shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Loan Party for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

(b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Loan Parties shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Loan Parties under this Article XI without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law in any applicable Relevant Jurisdiction.

(c) This Section 11.06 is intended only to define the relative rights of Loan Parties and nothing set forth in this Section 11.06 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Loan Parties, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 11.01. Nothing contained in this Section 11.06 shall limit the liability of any Loan Party to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Loan Party and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Loan Party shall be primarily liable.

(d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Loan Party to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(e) The rights of the indemnifying Loan Parties against other Loan Parties under this Section 11.06 shall be exercisable upon and after the payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate or contingent or reimbursable obligations for which no claim has been asserted).

Each Borrower hereby agrees that: (1) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (2) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”, the BVI Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the BVI Borrower or its securities for purposes of U.S. federal and state securities laws (provided that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in ‎Section 12.23), (3) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor”, and (4) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the BVI Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (x) the Loan

115

Documents, (y) notification of changes in the terms of the Loans and (z) all information delivered pursuant to ‎Section 7.01, or ‎Section 7.02.

(v) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and Applicable Law, including U.S. federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the BVI Borrower or its securities for purposes of U.S. federal or state securities laws.

(c) The Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy or completeness of the Borrower Materials or the adequacy of the Platform, and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Borrower Materials or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the BVI Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the BVI Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of the Borrower Materials through the Platform in accordance with the terms hereof.

(d) Change of Address, Etc. Each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent may change its address or e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (or in the case of any Loan Party, by notice to the Administrative Agent, which such notice shall be forwarded by the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto). Each Lender may change its address or e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the BVI Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to reasonably rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of the BVI Borrower even if: (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The BVI Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting, other than as a result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Person, from the reasonable reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the BVI Borrower.

To the extent that any undertaking in this clause may be unenforceable because it is violative of any Applicable Law or public policy, the BVI Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of such undertaking. This Section 12.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

118

applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Applicable Percentages at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of ‎Section 2.11(e).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each such Person hereby waives, any claim against any other party to this Agreement, 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, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No party to this Agreement 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 to the extent made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not otherwise resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Person.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 12.03 shall be secured by the Collateral and payable within 30 days after demand therefor (or such longer period as the party entitled to such payment may reasonably agree to); provided that amounts due under this Section 12.03 that are identified in the funds flow memorandum on the Closing Date shall be payable within 15 days after the Closing Date (or such longer period as the party entitled to such payment may reasonably agree to).

(f) No Agency Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no indemnification or exculpatory rights of the Administrative Agent (including those provided for in Article IX) shall apply, as between the Loan Parties on one hand, and any Lenders on the other hand, benefit of the Required Lenders including, without limitation, if at any time the Required Lenders shall be serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder.

(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.03 (other than the security interest provided for in Section 12.03(e)) shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder.

(h) Conflict with other Loan Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 12.03 and a corresponding provision in any other Loan Document, the terms of this Section 12.03 shall govern.

Section 12.04 Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be modified, supplemented or waived only in an agreement in writing signed by the BVI Borrower and the Required Lenders with notice

119

to the Administrative Agent (or the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Required Lenders); provided that no such agreement shall:

(a) waive any condition set forth in (i) ‎Section 5.01 without the written consent of each Lender, or ‎Section 5.02, without the written consent of each Lender providing the applicable Additional Loans;

(b) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender directly affected thereby;

(c) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than the Default Rate) or reduce any interest, fees (other than fees payable under the Fee Letters) or premiums payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

Section 12.05 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns in accordance with Section 12.07, except that the Borrowers may not assign or transfer any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of each Lender (any attempt to do so being null and void ab initio).

120

Section 12.06 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the parties hereto, the Secured Parties and their permitted successors and assigns (all of which, if not parties hereto, are third-party beneficiaries hereof for purposes of enforcing their respective rights hereunder) and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement.

Section 12.07 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) to (i) an Eligible Assignee or (ii) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, to the extent no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is outstanding, with the prior written consent of the BVI Borrower, to any other Person (provided, that if consent of the BVI Borrower is required hereunder, the BVI Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such Person (other than a Disqualified Institution) unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written request for consent in respect thereof) subject to the following conditions:

(i) any such partial assignment (other than to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) shall be in an amount at least equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, all of such Lender’s remaining Loan or Commitment hereunder); provided that concurrent assignments to an assignee and one or more other assignees that are: (1) Affiliates of such assignee or (2) related Approved Funds will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been satisfied;

(ii) any 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 Loans or the Commitments assigned;

(iii) upon each such assignment, the assignor and assignee shall deliver an Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent;

(iv) unless it is a Lender prior to such assignment, the assignee shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax forms, including any forms required under Section 3.04(f);

(v) the assignee shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation and evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (for itself or on behalf of any Lender) or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out all necessary “know your customer” or other checks in relation to the identity of the assignee that it is required to carry out in relation to the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents;

(vi) the Administrative Agent and/or any such Lender shall be satisfied with the results of all “know your client” or other checks (it being understood that nothing in the Agreement shall oblige the Administrative Agent to carry out any “know

121

your customer” or other checks in relation to the identity of any Person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender shall be solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or by any Person to the Administrative Agent);

(vii) no such assignment shall be made to: (1) the BVI Borrower or any of the BVI Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (2) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person that, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (2) or (3) a Disqualified Institution without the BVI Borrower’s prior consent in writing (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion) other than after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Specified Event of Default, and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to provide the list of Disqualified Institutions to any Lender upon request at any time; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not, in any event, be responsible for, nor have any liability in connection with:

(A) any assignment or participation to a Disqualified Institution to which the BVI Borrower has consented;

(B) except to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision to have been caused by or be the result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or its Related Parties, maintaining, updating, monitoring or enforcing the list of Disqualified Institutions other than:

(1) updating the list with the names of Disqualified Institutions provided in writing to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the definition of Disqualified Institutions;

(2) providing the list of Disqualified Institutions (with such updates) upon request in accordance with Section 12.07(a)(vii);

(3) confirming that each Assignment and Assumption includes a representation from the assignor thereof that it is not a Disqualified Institution; and

(4) verifying that any assignees is not a Disqualified Institution solely by comparing such assignees name against the names on the Disqualified Institution list;

(viii) 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 BVI Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but

122

not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to: (1) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (2) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentages; and 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.

(b) Upon the effective date of the assignment to be effected by an Assignment and Assumption and register thereof pursuant to Section 12.07(c) below, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the Commitment or Loans (or portion thereof) assigned to it and specified in such Assignment and Assumption (in addition to the Commitment or Loans, if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment of its Commitment, be released from the Commitment (or portion thereof) so assigned; 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. If requested by an assignee Lender, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a new Note evidencing such assignee Lender’s assigned Loans and Commitments within five (5) Business Days of BVI Borrower’s receipt of a written request therefor and, if the assignor Lender has retained Loans and Commitments hereunder (and if requested by such Lender), a replacement Note in the principal amount of the Loans and Commitments retained by the assignor Lender hereunder (such Note to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the predecessor Note previously held by such assignor Lender), subject, in each case, to the surrender of the applicable predecessor Note in accordance with the following sentence; each new Note shall be dated as of the date of issuance thereof. The assignor Lender shall have marked each predecessor Note “exchanged” and delivered each of them to BVI Borrower or its designee. Accrued interest and fees, shall be paid as provided in the Assignment and Assumption. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee together with (except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender) payment by the assignee Lender to the Administrative Agent of an assignment fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall: (x) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (y) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto, record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the assigning Lender, its assignee and the BVI Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment shall be allowed if the assignor thereof (if it is assigning less than all of its Loans or Commitments) would, after such assignment, have less than $1,000,000 in Loans (such amount to be reduced on a pro rata basis upon the receipt of any payment of principal on the Loans) or Commitments.

(c) The assigning Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of the purchase price of the assigned interest, and provide such other information requested by the Administrative Agent in order to enable the Administrative Agent to perform any cost-basis reporting obligations.

123

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in ‎Section 12.02 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Commitments of, or Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The parties hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligations hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the parties hereto at any reasonable time (in each case during the normal business hours of the Administrative Agent) and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations or enter into any other agreement to transfer the risk to one or more financial institutions or other entities (other than a natural person or the BVI Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any Disqualified Institutions) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that: (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under ‎Section 3.04(d) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participants(s). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to ‎Section 12.04 that affects such Participant. 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 Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) In addition to the assignments, participations and risk transfers permitted under this Section 12.07, any Lender may, without notice or consent of the Administrative Agent or any other Person and without payment of any fee: (i) pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a federal reserve bank or (ii) enter into an agreement with one or more financial entities that transfers or xxxxxx the risk of non-payment under the Loan Documents or both; provided that no Lender shall be released from

124

its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by having entered into any such transactions.

(g) Any assignment in contravention of the provisions of this Section 12.07 or Section 12.26 shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 12.08 Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections ‎3.01, ‎3.03, ‎3.04 and ‎12.03 and the obligations of the Lenders under ‎Section 12.03(c), shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments; provided that each Lender’s obligations under ‎Section 12.03(c) shall only apply to the extent that the event with respect to which any indemnification is payable thereunder occurred at the time that such Lender maintained a Loan or Commitment hereunder.

Section 12.09 Captions. The table of contents and captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 12.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties hereto shall be retained by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by e-mail or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 12.11 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (NOT INCLUDING SUCH STATE’S CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

Section 12.12 Jurisdiction, Service of Process and Venue.

(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and for its Property, to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York (in each case sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto and thereto or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that all claims in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state court or in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final action in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect the right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its Properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

125

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Seven Seas Water Corporation (the “Process Agent”), with an office on the Closing Date at 00000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, XX 00000 as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to accept on its behalf service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process that may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in Section 12.12(a), and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to it shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the enforcement of any judgment based thereon. Each Loan Party shall maintain such appointment until the satisfaction in full of all Obligations, except that if for any reason the Process Agent appointed hereby ceases to be able to act as such, then each Loan Party shall, by an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, appoint another Person in the United States of America as such Process Agent subject to the approval (not to be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed) of the Required Lenders. Each Loan Party covenants and agrees that it shall take any and all reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any and all documents, that may be necessary to continue the designation of the Process Agent pursuant to this paragraph in full force and effect and to cause the Process Agent to act as such.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby (i) consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in the manner provided for notices in ‎Section 12.02 and (ii) agrees that nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of any Person to serve any process or summons in any manner permitted by Applicable Law, to xxx in any other jurisdiction, or to obtain jurisdiction over any other Person in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by Applicable Law.

(d) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents brought in any court referred to in Section 12.12(a) and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(e) To the extent that any Loan Party may be entitled to the benefit of any provision of law requiring the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any suit, action or proceeding brought in a court of BVI, Curaçao, Peru, Sint Maarten, T&T and USVI or other jurisdiction arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby, to post security for litigation costs or otherwise post a performance bond or guaranty, or to take any similar action, each Loan Party hereby waives such benefit, in each case to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under the laws of BVI, Curaçao, Peru, Sint Maarten, T&T and USVI or, as the case may be, such other jurisdiction.

Section 12.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT

126

CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED IN A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION 12.13 AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING THAT SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION THEREOF. THE AGREEMENT OF EACH PARTY HERETO TO THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 12.14 Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any Loan Party may be or become entitled to claim for itself or its Property any immunity on the ground of sovereignty or the like from suit, court jurisdiction, attachment before judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment or execution of a judgment, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such an immunity (whether or not claimed), it hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.15 Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars and payment in New York, New York is of the essence, and the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to each Secured Party to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any other currency or in another place, except to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency the payee may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars in the amount originally due to the payee with the judgment currency. If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency (in this Section 12.15 called the “Judgment Currency”), then the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the payee could purchase such Dollars at New York, New York with the judgment currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligations of each Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the payee hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in this Section 12.15 called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the judgment currency such Entitled Person may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase and transfer Dollars to New York, New York with the amount of the judgment currency so adjudged to be due; and each Loan Party hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in Dollars, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in Dollars hereunder exceeds the amount of the Dollars so purchased and transferred.

(a) Each Loan Party waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to each Secured Party in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable.

127

Section 12.16 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under Applicable Law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this ‎Section 12.16 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 12.17 Use of English Language. This Agreement has been negotiated and executed in the English language. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement all certificates, reports, notices and other documents and communications given or delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including any modifications or supplements hereto or thereto) shall be in the English language, or accompanied by a certified English translation thereof, upon which the other parties hereto shall have the right to rely for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.18 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 12.19 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision hereof or of any document required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such other document in such jurisdiction or such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.20 No Fiduciary Relationship or Partnership. Each Loan Party acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with, or fiduciary duty to, such Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the one hand, and any Loan Party, on the other, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy, joint venture or co-ownership by or between any Lender, on the one hand, and any other Lender, any Loan Party or any other Person, on the other hand. No Secured Party shall in any way be responsible or liable for the Debts, losses, obligations or duties of any Loan Party or any other Person other than itself.

Section 12.21 Payments Set Aside. If a Loan Party (or any Person on its behalf) makes a payment to any Secured Party, or any Secured Party exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof subsequently is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement

128

entered into by such Secured Party in its discretion) to be repaid to such Loan Party (or such Person), a trustee, receiver or any other Person in connection with any insolvency proceeding or otherwise, then: (a) 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 set-off had not occurred and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent from whom it (or any related Secured Party) received any such amounts upon demand its pro rata share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent.

Section 12.22 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) hereby notifies the Borrower and each other Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name, address, tax identification number and other information regarding each Loan Party that will allow such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. Each party hereby agrees that it shall provide the Administrative Agent with such information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time in order to comply with any applicable requirements of the USA Patriot Act.

Section 12.23 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (in each case, other than to a Disqualified Institution): (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) provided that such disclosure shall be limited to such information as is expressly required or requested (as may be determined in consultation with counsel), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process provided that such disclosure shall be limited to such information as is expressly required (as may be determined in consultation with counsel), (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 12.23, to: (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant (except, in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, for any Disqualified Institution) in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, any investor or prospective investor, or any new lender or prospective new lender in a refinancing all or a portion of the Loans or otherwise or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of any Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information: (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.23 or (ii) becomes available to any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the BVI Borrower.

129

For purposes of this Section 12.23, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Lender, or the Administrative Agent on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Except with respect to disclosing any Information to any Disqualified Institution, any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.23 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 12.24 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable, (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 12.25 Arranger. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arranger shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity as a Lender hereunder.

Section 12.26 Closing Date Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(a) any amounts paid in respect of the Closing Date Loans shall be paid pro rata across all Classes of Closing Date Loans;

(b) no assignment of any amount of any Class of Closing Date Loan shall be permitted unless a corollary amount of each other Class of Closing Date Loans is concurrently assigned, and all such assignments are made to the same assignee; and

(c) the Interest Period applicable to each Class of Closing Date Loans shall initially be an Interest Period ending on September 30, 2017, and shall thereafter be three (3) months;
