~~(b)~~ ~~Continuations. With respect to any Borrowing consisting of a Term SOFR Advance, Borrower may, subject to the provisions of~~ ~~Section 2.3(d)~~, elect to maintain such Borrowing or any portion thereof as a Term SOFR Advance by selecting a new Interest Period for such Borrowing, which new Interest Period shall commence on the last day of the Interest Period then ending. Each selection of a new Interest Period (a “~~Continuation~~”) shall be made by notice given not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation by Borrower to Agent. Such notice by Xxxxxxxx of a Continuation shall be in writing (by electronic transmission or otherwise as permitted hereunder)~~, substantially in the form of~~ ~~Exhibit~~ C (a “Notice of Continuation/Conversion”), specifying whether the Advance subject to the requested Continuation comprises part (or all) of the Loans and the requested (i) date of such Continuation, and (ii) aggregate amount of the Advance subject to such Continuation, which shall comply with all limitations on Loans hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Borrower has not elected to Convert such Term SOFR Advance to a Base Rate Advance at such time pursuant to Section 2.3(c) and to the extent that the Borrower would otherwise be permitted to elect to Continue such Term SOFR Advance hereunder at such time, the Borrower shall, with respect to each Term SOFR Advance, be deemed to have delivered a timely Notice of Continuation/Conversion at 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of the Interest Period for such Term SOFR Advance, electing to continue the entirety of such Term SOFR Advance on the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a Term SOFR Advance with an Interest Period that commences on the last day of the Interest Period for such Term SOFR Advance that is then ending.

~~(c)~~ ~~Conversions. Borrower may on any Business Day by giving a Notice of Continuation/Conversion to Agent, and subject to the provisions of~~ ~~Section 2.3(d), Convert the entire amount of or a portion of an Advance of one Type into an Advance of another Type;~~ ~~provided~~, ~~however~~, that any Conversion of a Term SOFR Advance into a Base Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Advance. Each such Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be given not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into a Base Rate Advance and on the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into a Term SOFR Advance.

(i) if, at least one (1) Business Day before the date of any requested Term SOFR Advance, the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for ~~any Lender or any of its Affiliates~~ to perform its obligations hereunder to make a Term SOFR Advance or to fund or maintain a Term SOFR Advance hereunder (including in the case of a Continuation or a Conversion), Agent shall promptly give written notice of such circumstance to Borrower, and the right of Borrower to select a Term SOFR Advance for such Borrowing or any subsequent Borrowing (including a Continuation or a Conversion) shall be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and any Advance comprising such requested Borrowing (or Continuation or Conversion) shall be a Base Rate Advance;

(ii) if, at least one (1) Business Day before the first day of any Interest Period, Agent is unable to determine Term SOFR for Term SOFR Advances comprising any requested Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion, Agent shall promptly give written notice of such circumstance to Borrower, and the right of Borrower to select or maintain Term SOFR Advances for such Borrowing (or Continuation or Conversion) or any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until Agent shall notify Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist (including by way of a benchmark replacement as set forth in ~~Section 2.15), and any Advance comprising such Borrowing (or Continuation or Conversion) shall be a Base Rate Advance;~~

(iii) if any Lender shall, at least one (1) Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing or Continuation of, or Conversion into, a Term SOFR Advance, notify Agent and Borrower that Term SOFR for Advances comprising such Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lender of making or funding Advances for such Borrowing, the right of Borrower to select Term SOFR Advances shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify Agent and Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and any Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance;

(iv) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all Conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Facilities;

(b) ~~(v)~~ [Reserved]~~; and~~.

(vi) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Term SOFR Advances may be borrowed or continued as such and no Base Rate Advance may be Converted into a Term SOFR Advance without the consent of the Required Lenders, and all existing Term SOFR Advances shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Advances unless the Required Lenders agree otherwise.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Effect of Notice. Each Notice of Borrowing ~~and each Notice of Continuation/Conversion~~ shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify Agent and the Lenders against any loss, cost or expense incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (i) default by Borrower in making a Borrowing of, Conversion into or Continuation of a Term SOFR Advance after Borrower has given notice requesting the same, (ii) default by Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any Term SOFR Advance or (iii) the making of a payment or prepayment of a Term SOFR Advance on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by Agent or any Lender to fund such Advance.

(f) Disbursements.

(i) Promptly after its receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the Lenders in writing (by electronic transmission or otherwise as permitted hereunder) of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in same day funds, for the account of Borrower, at Agent’s Payment Account prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time), on the Borrowing Date requested by Xxxxxxxx. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.1 and upon receipt of all requested funds, the proceeds of such Borrowing will then be made available to Borrower by Agent wire transferring to the Operating Account the aggregate of the amounts made available to Agent by the Lenders, and in like funds as received by Agent by 1:00 p.m. (New York time), on the requested Borrowing Date or as otherwise requested by Borrower in its Notice of Borrowing, and approved by Agent for such purpose.

(ii) Unless Agent receives contrary written notice prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of any proposed Borrowing, Agent shall be entitled to assume that each Lender will make available its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing and, in reliance upon that assumption, but without any obligation to do so, may advance such Pro Rata Share on behalf of such Lender. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to Agent prior to the required time in Agent’s notice to such Lender, but Agent has made such amount available to the Borrower, each of such Lender and the Borrower agrees to pay and repay Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date of such Borrowing until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent, at (A) in the case of Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time to such Loan and (B) in the case of each Lender, for the period from the date of such Borrowing to (and including) three days after demand therefor by Agent to such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate and, following such third day, at the interest rate applicable at such time to such Loan, in each case, together with all costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith. A notice of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.3(f)(ii) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If a Lender shall pay to Agent any or all of such amount, such amount so paid shall constitute a Loan by such Lender to the Borrower for purposes of this Agreement.

(iii) Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Term SOFR Advances upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of Term SOFR by Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Advances are outstanding, Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the announcement of such change.[Reserved].

(iv) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(v) Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to the Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Lenders may elect to directly fund the ~~Initial~~Second Amendment Term Loans to the Borrower on the ~~Closing~~Second Amendment Effective Date, pursuant to procedures agreed between the Lenders and the Agent; provided, that in the event the Lenders elect to directly fund the ~~Initial~~Second Amendment Term Loans, if the Borrower has not notified the Agent in writing by not later than 5:00 p.m. on the ~~Closing~~Second Amendment Effective Date that it did not receive all of the requested funds pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing, Agent shall deem the ~~Initial~~Second Amendment Term Loans to have been fully funded and is hereby directed by the Lenders to make the applicable recordations of the ~~Initial~~Second Amendment Term Loans in the Register.

2.4 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. The ~~Term~~Second Amendment Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the date of the Term Loan Borrowing upon the earlier of (i) funding thereof and (ii) 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the ~~Closing~~Second Amendment Effective Date.

2.5 Mandatory Prepayments; Optional Prepayments.

(a) Mandatory Prepayments. In addition to any prepayment required in accordance with Section 10.2 as a result of an Event of Default hereunder, the Loans shall be subject to mandatory prepayment as follows:

(i) [Reserved];

(ii) on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered (or should have been delivered) pursuant to Section 7.11(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered (or should have been delivered) pursuant to Section 7.11(e) (commencing with those delivered for the fiscal year ending December 31, ~~2022~~2023), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to:

(A) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow of the Companies for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements, minus

(B) solely to the extent not deducted in the calculation of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, all voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans, in each case, made during such fiscal year (to the extent that such prepayments are financed with internally generated cash of the Companies or the sale or issuance of Equity Interests in Parent (and not from the proceeds of Indebtedness), provided that such amount so deducted shall not be deducted from the amount due pursuant to this Section 2.5(a)(ii) in any subsequent period).

As used in this Section 2.5(a)(ii), the term “Applicable ECF Percentage” for any fiscal year means the following:

(x) 100.0% if Consolidated EBITDA for such fiscal year is less than $15.0 million or

(zy) 75%, if Consolidated EBITDA for such fiscal year is greater than or equal to $15.0 million.

(iii) the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from any Prepayment Disposition by any Company within 10 Business Days of receipt thereof by such Person to the extent such proceeds are not reinvested within 12 months after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds in similar assets or other assets useful in the applicable Company’s business (including any such assets that are acquired through a Permitted Acquisition or other Permitted Investment, but in any case subject to covenants and restrictions set forth herein);

(iv) the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received from any Debt Transaction with respect to any Company immediately upon receipt thereof by any Company (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below);

(v) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to the next sentence, each mandatory prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) shall be applied, first, to the Term Loans held by all Term Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (allocated as directed by the Borrower in its sole discretion and, absent such direction, to the scheduled amortization payments in direct order of maturity and to each Term Lender on a pro rata basis in accordance with the principal amount of the applicable Term Loans held thereby), second, any excess after the application of such proceeds in accordance with clause first above may be retained by the Borrower. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) shall be applied ratably to the Loans then outstanding~~, irrespective of whether such outstanding Loans are Base Rate Advances or Term SOFR Advances;~~ ~~provided~~ ~~that if no Lenders decline a given mandatory prepayment of the Loans as described in~~ ~~clause (vii)~~ below, then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Loans that are Base Rate Advances to the full extent thereof before application to Loans that are Term SOFR Advances in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to ~~Article III~~.. Any prepayment of a Loan pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) shall be accompanied by all accrued interest and fees on the amount prepaid, any amounts required pursuant to Section 2.5(c), together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Article III.

(vi) The Borrower shall deliver to Agent and the Lenders, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.5(a), a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth (x) the date of such prepayment and (y) in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment.

(vii) Each Term Lender may elect, by written notice to Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(ii), (a)(iii) or (a)(iv), to decline all (but not a portion) of its Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Any Term Lender declining such prepayment shall give written notice thereof to Agent by 11:00 a.m. no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment. If a Lender fails to deliver a notice of election declining receipt of its Pro Rata Share of such mandatory prepayment to Agent within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any mandatory prepayments declined by a Term Lender pursuant to this paragraph may be retained by Borrower.

(viii) No Loan Party (or Subsidiary thereof) shall be required to make any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(ii) or Section 2.5(a)(iii) to the extent that such Loan Party or its Subsidiaries would suffer material adverse tax consequences as a result of upstreaming or repatriating cash to make such prepayments (including the imposition of withholding Taxes); provided that (x) the foregoing shall only apply to the portion of such prepayment affected by such material adverse tax consequences, and prepayment shall be allocated to entities that would not suffer from such material adverse tax consequences to the fullest extent possible, prior to being allocated to entities that would suffer material adverse tax consequences, (y) the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries shall make any such avoided prepayment or portion thereof within five (5) Business Days after such time that the applicable prepayment or portion thereof would not result in such material adverse tax consequences, and (z) no more than $10.5 million of prepayments in the aggregate shall be avoided pursuant to this Section 2.5(a)(viii) during the term of this Agreement.

(b) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than ~~(x) in the case of Term SOFR Advances, any amounts required pursuant to~~ ~~Article III~~ ~~and (y)~~ any amounts required pursuant to Section 2.5(c)) upon at least two (2) Business Days’ written notice by Borrower to Agent ~~in the case of Base Rate Advances, and three (3) Business Days’ written notice by Borrower to Agent in the case of Term SOFR Advances~~, specifying the date and amount of prepayment, provided that~~: (A)~~ any prepayment ~~of Term SOFR Advances shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (B) any prepayment of Base Rate Advances~~ shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. The Borrower’s notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or one or more other events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied; provided that the Borrower shall make any payments required to be made pursuant to Article III. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) shall be applied among all outstanding Term Facilities in each case as directed by the Borrower and, within any given Term Facility, shall be applied as directed by the Borrower to the principal installments thereof (or, failing such direction, ratably among the Term Facilities and to the principal repayment installments thereof in inverse order of scheduled maturities), and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares in respect of the Term Facility. If such notice is given and not revoked as provided above, Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein accompanied by the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon ~~(and in the case of Term SOFR Advances, any amounts required pursuant to~~ ~~Section 3.3~~).

(c)

(i) Exit Fee. In the event that (x) the Term Loans are prepaid or repaid in whole or in part (whether pursuant to this Section 2.5, Section 2.6 or otherwise), (y) a Term Lender is replaced or prepaid pursuant to Section 2.11 (other than if a Defaulting Lender) or (z) payment of the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans is accelerated in accordance with the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Term Lenders an exit fee equal to 2.5% of the principal amount of such applicable Term Loans prepaid, repaid, replaced or accelerated.

(ii) Prepayment/Repayment ~~Premium~~Fee. In the event that (x) the Term Loans are prepaid or repaid in whole or in part (whether pursuant to this Section 2.5, Section 2.6 or otherwise), (y) a Term Lender is replaced or prepaid pursuant to Section 2.11 (other than if a Defaulting Lender) or (z) payment of the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans is accelerated in accordance with the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Term Lenders ~~(I) in the case of a prepayment pursuant to~~ ~~Section 2.5(a)(ii), a prepayment premium in an amount equal to 3.0% of the principal amount of such applicable Term Loans prepaid and (II) in all other cases,~~ a repayment premium expressed as a percentage ~~(other than in the case of a Make-Whole Premium)~~ of the principal amount of such applicable Term Loans prepaid, repaid, replaced or accelerated on the amount so prepaid, repaid or accelerated in the amount set forth in the applicable table below opposite the time period in which such prepayment, repayment or acceleration occurs:

Period	Prepayment/Repayment ~~Premium~~Fee
From the Closing Date though ~~(and including) the Make-Whole Period End~~the date that is five months after the Second Amendment Effective Date	~~Make-Whole Premium~~ 14.0%
~~From (and including) the day after the Make-Whole Period End Date through (and including) the forty-two month anniversary of the Closing Date~~Thereafter	~~6.5~~0.0%
~~From (and including) the day after the forty-two month anniversary of the Closing Date through (and including) October 25, 2026~~	~~4.5%~~
~~Thereafter~~	~~3.0%~~

(such amount set forth above, the “Prepayment/Repayment Fee”); provided, that if after the date that is five months after the Second Amendment Effective Date, (x) the Loans are prepaid or repaid in whole or in part (whether pursuant to this Section 2.5, Section 2.6 or otherwise), (y) a Term Lender is replaced or prepaid pursuant to Section 2.11 (other than if a Defaulting Lender) or (z) the payment of the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans is accelerated in accordance with the Loan Documents, in each case, in connection with a transaction which, upon the consummation thereof, constitutes a Change of Control and the definitive terms of such transaction were agreed in writing by the applicable Loan Parties on or prior to the date that is five months after the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Term Lenders the Prepayment/Repayment Fee on the date of the consummation of any Change of Control transaction.

(iii) Any fee or premium referred to in this clause (c) shall be paid to the Agent in Dollars in accordance with Section 2.9 upon any applicable repayment, replacement, prepayment or acceleration (including via any distributions or any other transfers on account of all or any part of the principal balance of any Term Loan for any reason or at any time (whether or not upon maturity, whether mandatory or optional, whether voluntary or involuntary, including following any default or any acceleration (whether automatic or following notice), following any asset sale, or following the filing by or against any Loan Party of any petition under any Debtor Relief Laws (whether or not such payment, distribution, or transfer is under a plan of reorganization or liquidation or ordered by any court of competent jurisdiction) or otherwise)) and upon receipt, the Agent shall promptly distribute such payment to the Term Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if any fee or premium described in this Section 2.5(c) becomes due and owing as a result of the principal amount of the Term Loans being accelerated in accordance with the Loan Documents and the Lenders subsequently waive such acceleration by reinstating such Term Loans, such fees or premiums resulting from such acceleration shall also be deemed waived (provided that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of the Lenders’ or the Agent’s right to demand acceleration of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, permit an alternative to immediate payment of the Loans and other Obligations upon any such acceleration or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Agent or any Lenders hereunder (whether as a result of any such acceleration or otherwise)). The Borrower agrees that the fees and premiums payable pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) are paid as fees for the right to prepay, and that such fees and premiums do not constitute liquidated damages or a prepayment penalty.

2.6 Repayment of Loan; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The outstanding principal amount of the ~~Initial~~ Term Loans, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (A) the Maturity Date and (B) the date on which the ~~Initial~~ Term Loans are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from the Loans made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of the Loans made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Xxxxxx’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that (i) the failure of any Lender or Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the event of any conflict between the entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (b) above and the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (c) above, the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (c) above shall govern and control.

2.7 [Reserved].

2.8 Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for a period from the Closing Date through and including the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have no right to terminate this Agreement at any time that any principal of or interest or fees on any of the Loans is outstanding, except upon Payment in Full of all Obligations.

2.9 Payment Procedures.

(a) Time of Payment. Each payment by Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees or Lender Group Expenses hereunder shall be made to Agent. All payments to be made by Borrower hereunder and under the Notes, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the due date thereof to Agent, for the account of the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares (except as expressly otherwise provided), at Agent’s Payment Account in immediately available funds in cash. Except for payments which are expressly provided to be made for the account of Agent only, Agent shall promptly wire in like funds to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment. Any payment received by Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) may, in Agent’s sole discretion, be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Lender or any of its Affiliates exercises its right of setoff under Section 12.3 or otherwise, any amounts so recovered shall promptly be shared by such Lender with the other Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(b) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day ~~(except as specified in~~ ~~clause (i)~~ ~~of the definition of Interest Period)~~ and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest due hereunder.

(c) Application. Subject to Section 10.5, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right, if an Event of Default exists, to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for Borrower’s benefit, which is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent.

2.10 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1, ~~3.3~~ or ~~3.4~~, or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.2, then such Lender (at the request of Borrower) shall 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 Article III, 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. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

2.11 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1, or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.2 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.10, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense (other than with respect to the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.7), upon notice by Borrower to such Lender and Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender agrees to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and the consents required by, Section 12.7), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Article III) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (a) Agent shall have received the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.7; (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Article III) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and (e) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that Borrower or any Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender.

2.12 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Agent may recover all amounts owing by a Defaulting Lender on demand, and all such amounts owing shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to two percent (2 %) above the per annum rate otherwise applicable to ~~Base Rate~~the Advances until Paid in Full.

(b) The failure of any Defaulting Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing. Conversely, no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of another Lender to fund such other Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing.

(c) Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit; nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and apply any or all of such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations or re-lend to Borrower the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. For purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender and such Lender’s Commitment or Loans made by it, as applicable, for such purposes shall be deemed to be zero (0). This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until the Defaulting Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) If Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that a Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, 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, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to subsection (c) above) whereupon that 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 Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 2.11, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.13 [Reserved].

2.14 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of Obligations payable to such Lender hereunder at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such Obligations to (b) the aggregate amount of the Obligations payable to all Lenders hereunder at such time), such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) such participations in the Obligations payable to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Xxxxxx’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Xxxxxxxx agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.15 Benchmark Replacement Setting[Reserved].

~~(a)~~ ~~Benchmark Replacement~~.

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

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

~~(c)~~ ~~Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations~~. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to ~~Section 2.15(d)~~ and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this ~~Section 2.15~~, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this ~~Section 2.15~~.

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

~~(e)~~ ~~Benchmark Unavailability Period~~. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a Term SOFR Advance to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to a Base Rate Advance. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

Article III
Taxes, yield protection and illegality

3.1 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

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

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

(d) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 3.1 and delivered to Borrower will be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower will pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.1 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Xxxxxx’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).

3.2 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.2, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction 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 Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, 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 such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 Business 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) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and tax advisors’ fees and expenses), 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 Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified 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 the provisions of Section 12.7 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 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 Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this clause (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.2, such Loan Party shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient 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 3.2(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(D) and (ii)(E) below) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

(ii) Without limiting the foregoing:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and 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 Borrower or 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 Borrower and 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 Borrower or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(2) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or, in the case of a Lender that is a foreign government, international organization, foreign central bank of issue, foreign tax-exempt organization, foreign private foundation, or government of a U.S. possession receiving amounts subject to withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code claiming the applicability of Section 115(2), 501(c), 892, 895 or 1443(b) of the Code, of IRS Form W-8EXP;

(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 substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 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 Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(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 IRS Form 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-8EXP, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 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 Borrower and 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 Borrower or Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient 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 Recipient shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(E) Agent and any successor thereto shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon request of Borrower) (i) if Agent (or such successor to Agent) is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding, or (ii) if Agent (or such successor to Agent) is not a United States person, (A) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable under any Loan Document to Agent for its own account, and (B) executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable under any Loan Document to Agent for the account of others, certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business within the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with Borrower to be treated as a United States person (and Borrower and Agent agree to so treat Agent as a Unites States person with respect to such payments as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A)).

Each Recipient 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 Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.2 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.2), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (h) (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 (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) VAT.

(i) All amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any party to a Secured Party which constitute consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party to any party in connection with a Loan Document, that party shall (except where the reverse charge mechanism applies and the Secured Party is not obliged to account to the relevant taxation authority for such VAT) pay to such Secured Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Secured Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party).

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Secured Party (the “VAT Recipient”) in connection with a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier:

(A) where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party shall also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The VAT Recipient shall (where this Section 3.2(i)(ii)(A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the VAT Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the VAT Recipient determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(B) where the VAT Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party shall promptly, following demand from the VAT Recipient, pay to the VAT Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the VAT Recipient determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(iii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Secured Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Secured Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Secured Party determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv) Any reference in this Section 3.2(i) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(v) In relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to any party under a Loan Document, if requested by such Secured Party, that party shall promptly provide such Secured Party with details of that party’s VAT registration (if applicable) and such other information as is requested in connection with such Secured Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Recipient pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2 for any Taxes imposed more than nine months prior to the date that such Recipient notifies Borrower in writing of the matter giving rise to such Taxes and of such Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the matter giving rise to such Taxes is retroactive, then the nine month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(k) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.2 shall survive the resignation or replacement of 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 all obligations under any Loan Document.

Breakage Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term SOFR Advance other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term SOFR Advance other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable, it being understood that such loss, cost or expense shall in any case exclude any loss of anticipated profit. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Term SOFR Advances, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Term SOFR, 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 applicable interbank market then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Advances or to convert Base Rate Advances to Term SOFR Advances and the calculation of Base Rate based upon Term SOFR shall be suspended until such Xxxxxx notifies Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, each Loan Party shall prepay such Term SOFR Advances or convert all Term SOFR Advances of such Lender to Base Rate Advances, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if any, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Advances to such day, or immediately, if no Interest Period applies or if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Advances. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Loan Party shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

~~Inability to Determine Rates.~~

~~(a) Subject to~~ ~~Section 2.15, if the Required Lenders reasonably determine that~~

~~(i) for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Advance,~~

~~(ii) [Reserved], or~~

(iii) Term SOFR for any Interest Period for such Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Term SOFR Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender;

~~then thereafter, the~~ ~~obligation of the Lenders to make~~ or maintain Term SOFR Advances and the calculation of Base Rate based upon Term SOFR shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Advances or, failing that, in the case of Term SOFR Advances will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Advances in Dollars in the amount specified therein.

Article IV

Any amount under this Section 4.2 shall be due and ~~shall be~~ payable on demand by capitalizing such amount and adding it to the principal amount of the Advances on such date of demand. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 4.2 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Agent or any Lender.

4.3 Upfront Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay each Term Lender with ~~a Xxxx~~xx Initial Commitment, on the Closing Date, upfront fees equal to such Term Lender’s ~~Term~~Initial Commitment multiplied by 6.00% (which at such Term Lender’s option, may take the form of original issue discount).

4.4 Other Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent or the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.

Each determination by Agent of an interest rate, fee or other payment hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each fee payable under this Agreement is fully earned and non-refundable on the date such fee is due and payable and that each such fee constitutes Obligations and is in addition to any other fees payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have all rights and remedies with respect to the Obligations and the Collateral under applicable law (including the UCC) and the Loan Documents, and Agent may do any or all of the following: (i) remove for copying all documents, instruments, files and records (including the copying of any computer records) relating to any Loan Party’s Receivables or use (at the expense of Borrower) such supplies or space of any Loan Party at such Loan Party’s places of business necessary to administer, enforce and collect such Receivables including any supporting obligations; (ii) accelerate or extend the time of payment, compromise, issue credits, or bring suit on any Loan Party’s Receivables (in the name of any Loan Party or Agent) and otherwise administer and collect such Receivables; (iii) sell, assign and deliver any Loan Party’s Receivables with or without advertisement, at public or private sale, for cash, on credit or otherwise, subject to applicable law; and (iv) foreclose the security interests created pursuant to the Loan Documents by any available procedure, or take possession of any or all of the Collateral, without judicial process and enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the same.

(b) The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) consent to the sale of, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (bii) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other Disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, or (ciii) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy, in each case, free from any right of redemption, which right is expressly waived by Borrower. If notice of intended Disposition of any Collateral is required by law, it is agreed that ten (10) days’ notice shall constitute reasonable notification. Each Loan Party will assemble the Collateral in its possession and make it available at such locations in the United States as Agent may specify, whether at the premises of a Loan Party or elsewhere, and will make reasonably available to Agent the premises and facilities of each Loan Party for the purpose of Agent’s taking possession of or removing the Collateral or putting the Collateral in saleable form. Agent may sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Loan Party hereby grants Agent a license to enter and occupy any of such Loan Party’s leased or owned premises and facilities, without charge, to exercise any of Agent’s rights or remedies. The proceeds received from any sale of Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 10.5.

115

10.4 License for Use of Software and Other Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party hereby grant to Agent a license or other right to use, without charge and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all computer software programs, data bases, processes, trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, labels, trade secrets, service marks, advertising materials and other rights, assets and materials used by the Loan Parties in connection with its businesses or in connection with disposition of the Collateral.

10.5 Post-Default Allocation of Payments.

(a) Allocation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during an Event of Default, if so directed by the Required Lenders or at Agent’s discretion, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by the Loan Parties, realization on Collateral, setoff, or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

(i) first, to all Lender Group Expenses, fees, indemnities and other amounts owing to Agent (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Agent and amounts payable under Article III) in its capacity as Agent;

(ii) second, to all Lender Group Expenses, fees, indemnities and other amounts owing to the Lenders (other than principal and interest) arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (ii) payable to them;

(iii) third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iii) payable to them;

116

(iv) fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iv) held by them;

(v) pro rata to all other Obligations; and

(vi) finally, after Payment in Full, to the Loan Parties or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto.

Amounts shall be applied to each of the foregoing categories of Obligations in the order presented above before being applied to the following category. Where applicable, all amounts to be applied to a given category will be applied on a pro rata basis among those entitled to payment in such category. The allocations set forth in this section are solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Secured Parties among themselves and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party. No Loan Party is entitled to any benefit under this Section or has any standing to enforce this Section.

10.6 No Marshaling; Deficiencies; Remedies Cumulative. Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any Collateral or to seek recourse against or satisfaction of any of the Obligations from one source before seeking recourse against or satisfaction from another source. The net cash proceeds resulting from Agent’s exercise of any of the foregoing rights to liquidate all or substantially all of the Collateral, including any and all Collections (after deducting all of Agent’s expenses related thereto), shall be applied by Agent in accordance with Section 10.5. Borrower shall remain liable to Agent and the Lenders for any deficiencies, and Agent and the Lenders in turn agree to remit to the applicable Loan Party or its successor or assign any surplus resulting therefrom. All of Agent’s and the Lenders’ remedies under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative, may be exercised simultaneously against any Collateral and any Loan Party or in such order and with respect to such Collateral or such Loan Party as Agent or the Lenders may deem desirable, and are not intended to be exhaustive.

10.7 Waivers. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein or in any other Loan Document, Borrower hereby waives any right to a judicial or other hearing with respect to any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by Agent to take possession, exercise control over, or dispose of any item of Collateral in any instance (regardless of where the same may be located) where such action is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by applicable law or of the time, place or terms of sale in connection with the exercise of Agent’s or any Xxxxxx’s rights hereunder and also waives any bonds, security or sureties required by any statute, rule or other law as an incident to any taking of possession by Agent of any Collateral. Borrower also waives any damages (direct, consequential or otherwise) occasioned by the enforcement of Agent’s or any Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document including the taking of possession of any Collateral or the giving of notice to any account debtor or the collection of any Receivable of Borrower. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Xxxxxxxx also consents that Agent and the Lenders may enter upon any premises owned by or leased to it without obligations to pay rent or for use and occupancy, through self-help, without judicial process and without having first obtained an order of any court. These waivers and all other waivers provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated by the parties, and Xxxxxxxx acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its own choice, has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights hereunder and has freely and voluntarily entered into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the result of arm’s-length negotiations.

117

10.8 Further Rights of Agent and the Lenders. If Borrower shall fail to purchase or maintain insurance (where applicable), or to pay any Tax, except as the same may be otherwise permitted hereunder or which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with ~~IFRS~~GAAP, or if any Lien prohibited hereby shall not be paid in full and discharged or if Borrower shall fail to perform or comply with any other covenant, promise or obligation to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Agent may (but shall not be required to) perform, pay, satisfy, discharge or bond the same for the account of Borrower, and all amounts so paid by Agent shall be treated as an Initial Term Loan ~~comprised of Base Rate Advances~~ hereunder and shall constitute part of the Obligations.

10.9 Interest After Event of Default. Xxxxxxxx agrees and acknowledges that the additional interest and fees that may be charged under Section 4.2 are (a) an inducement to the Lenders to make Advances and that the Lenders and Agent would not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the inclusion of such provisions, (b) fair and reasonable estimates of the Lenders’ and Agent’s costs of administering the credit facility upon an Event of Default, and (c) intended to estimate the Lenders’ and Agent’s increased risks upon an Event of Default.

10.10 Receiver. In addition to any other remedy available to it, Agent shall also have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during its continuation, to seek and obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and operate and/or dispose of the business and assets of Borrower.

10.11 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy provided for herein or in any other Loan Document or otherwise provided by law from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during its continuation, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

Article XI
THE AGENT

11.1 Appointment of Agent.

(a) Each Lender hereby designates Alter Domus (US) LLC (acting through such of its Affiliates, offices or branches as it deems appropriate) as its agent and irrevocably authorizes it to take action on such Xxxxxx’s behalf under the Loan Documents and to exercise the powers and to perform the duties described therein and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent may perform any of its duties by or through its agents or employees or by or through one or more sub-agents appointed by it.

118

(b) Each of the Lenders authorizes the Agent to perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Agent under or in connection with the Loan Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions (including, but not limited to, documents of amendment or ratification of this Agreement and the execution, amendment or ratification of the Guaranty and/or Security Document).

(c) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and Xxxxxxxx shall not have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and assume no obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower.

11.2 Nature of Duties of Agent.

(a) Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent does not have a fiduciary relationship with or any implied duties to any Lender or any participant of any Lender.

(b) Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

(c) None of Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them at the direction of the Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater percentage of the Lenders) or (ii) any other action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case, as determined in a final, non-appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction; for the avoidance of doubt, no action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with clause (i) above shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct).

11.3 Lack of Reliance on Agent.

(a) Independent Investigation. Independently and without reliance upon Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial or other condition and affairs of the Companies in connection with taking or not taking any action related hereto and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Companies, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the initial Loans or at any time or times thereafter.

119

(b) No Obligation of Agent. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or the Notes or the other Loan Documents (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest) or the financial or other condition of the Companies, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party (other than the Agent) to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the financial condition of the Companies, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

11.4 Certain Rights of Agent. Agent may request instructions from the Required Lenders at any time. If Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or inaction, it shall be entitled to await instructions from the Required Lenders. No Lender shall have any right of action based upon Agent’s action or inaction in response to instructions from the Required Lenders.

11.5 Reliance by Agent. Agent may rely upon any written, electronic or telephonic communication it believes to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. Agent may obtain the advice of legal counsel (including counsel for the Companies with respect to matters concerning the Companies), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall have no liability for any action or inaction taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith based upon such advice. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if expressly required hereunder) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to sufficiently indemnify Agent in Agent’s sole discretion, against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Secured Party, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, agrees that (i) any action taken (or omitted to be taken) by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, (ii) any action taken (or omitted to be taken) by Agent in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, where required, such greater percentage of the Lenders) and (iii) the exercise by Agent of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Secured Parties, and Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if expressly required hereunder).

11.6 Indemnification of Agent. To the extent Agent is not timely reimbursed and indemnified by Xxxxxxxx, each Lender will reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent of such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that such indemnity payment is sought; provided, that if at the time such indemnity payment is sought Payment in Full of the Obligations has occurred, each Lender’s Pro Rata Share shall be determined as of the day immediately preceding the date of the Payment in Full of the Obligations) for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents unless resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements contained in this Section shall survive the resignation of Agent, any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Payment in Full of the Obligations.

120

11.7 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. To the extent a Lender hereunder, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender or holder of a Note and may exercise the same as though it was not performing the duties as Agent specified herein. Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with any Company or Affiliate thereof as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Company for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

11.8 Holders of Notes. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

11.9 Successor Agent.

(a) Resignation. Agent may, upon twenty (20) Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and Borrower, resign by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Xxxxxxxx.

(b) Replacement of Agent after Resignation. Upon receipt of notice of resignation by Agent, the Required Xxxxxxx may appoint a successor agent which shall also be a Lender. If a successor agent has not accepted its appointment within fifteen (15) Business Days, then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor agent which, so long as no Event of Default then exists, shall be subject to the written approval of Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be delivered to the retiring Agent and the Lenders within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of notice of a proposed successor agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless be effective as of the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after providing its notice of resignation (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed).

(c) Removal of Agent. If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor thereto.

121

(d) Discharge. Upon its acceptance of the agency hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. The retiring Agent shall continue to have the benefit of the provisions of this Article for any action or inaction while it was Agent.

11.10 Collateral Matters.

(a) Exercise Binding. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any action or exercise of powers by Agent provided under the Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be deemed authorized by and binding upon all of the Lenders. At any time and without notice to or consent from any Lender, Agent may take any action necessary or advisable to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Liens upon the Collateral.

(b) Releases. Agent is authorized to release any Lien granted to or held by it upon any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full of all of the Obligations, (ii) required to be delivered in connection with sales or other Dispositions of Collateral permitted hereunder to a person other than another Company or (iii) if the release can be and is approved by the Required Lenders. Agent may request, and the Lenders will provide, confirmation of Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral.

(c) Sale of Collateral. Upon any sale or transfer of Collateral to a person other than another Company which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, Agent’s Liens on such Collateral shall automatically be released and, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary or reasonably requested by Borrower to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent herein or under any of the other Loan Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred, provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the applicable Company in respect of) all interests retained by the applicable Company, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.

(d) No Obligation for Agent. Agent shall not have any obligation to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party, that the Collateral is cared for, protected or insured, or that the Liens on the Collateral have been created or perfected or have any particular priority. With respect to the Collateral, Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders with respect thereto, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

122

11.11 Actions with Respect to Defaults. In addition to Agent’s right to take actions on its own accord as permitted under this Agreement, Agent shall take such action with respect to an Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders. Until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may act or not act as it deems advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders.

11.12 Delivery of Information. Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by Agent from any Company, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

11.13 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Default and conspicuously stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or any such default in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by Required Lenders in accordance with Article X; provided that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.

11.14 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

123

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clause (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 11.14(b).

(c) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a) from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Secured Party under the Loan Documents to the extent of each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from any Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

124

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

As used in this Section 11.14:

“Erroneous Payment” has the meaning assigned to it in Section 11.14(a).

“Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency” has the meaning assigned to it in Section 11.14(d).

126

12.3 Right of Setoff. In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that any Lender or any of its Affiliates may have under applicable law, and whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand or the Obligations of Borrower have matured, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and its Affiliates shall have the right to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, or any other type) (other than any such deposits now or hereafter held in the Excluded Accounts) at any time held and any other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations.

129

12.7 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Borrower Assignment. Borrower shall not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Agent and the Lenders, and any assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be absolutely null and void.

(b) Lender Assignments. Each Lender may, with the consent of Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it objects thereto by written notice to Agent within five (5) Business Days after request for such consent) assign (not by novation) to one or more Eligible Assignees (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to one or more other Persons) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents upon (i) execution and delivery to Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, of an Assignment and Acceptance by such Lender and such Eligible Assignee, (ii) surrender of any Note or Notes subject to such assignment by such Lender, (iii) if the relevant Eligible Assignee shall not be an existing Lender, delivery to the Agent of an Administrative Questionnaire and documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including any Tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.2 and (iv) a processing and recordation fee payable to Agent for its account of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Agent); provided, that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required (x) in connection with any assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender or (y) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that the consent of the Agent shall not be required in connection with any assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender. No such assignment shall be for less than $1,000,000 of the Commitments or Loans or in an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof unless it is to another Lender, Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitment or Loans, and each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations in respect of the Commitments and the Loans.

(c) Upon the execution and delivery to Agent of such documents and information pursuant to this Section 12.7 (including an Assignment and Acceptance and the payment of the recordation fee), from and after the date specified as the effective date in the Assignment and Acceptance ~~(the “Acceptance Date~~”) and upon the recordation of such assignment in the Register by the Agent (which the Agent shall effectuate promptly upon its receipt of (x) the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment, (y) the documentation required by Section 12.7(b)(iii) (if applicable) with respect to such assignment and (z) the recordation fee with respect to such assignment), (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto, and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it under such Assignment and Acceptance, such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it under such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than any rights it may have under Article III and Section 12.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein), which shall survive such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

130

(d) Agreements of Assignee. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder confirms and agrees as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Company or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee and has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the Financial Statements referred to in Section 6.1(i), the Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.11, if any, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(e) Agent’s Register. Agent, as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower shall maintain a register of the names and addresses of the Lenders, their Commitments and the principal amount (and stated interest) of their Loans (the “Register”). Agent shall also maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and modify the Register to give effect to each Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Xxxxxxxx, Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. Upon its receipt of each Assignment and Acceptance, Agent will give prompt notice thereof to Borrower. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, if requested by the assignor or the assignee, as applicable, Borrower shall execute and deliver to the assignee a new Note to the assignee in the amount of the applicable Commitment or Loans assumed by it and to the assignor in the amount of the applicable Commitment or Loans retained by it, if any. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Register exclusively for purposes of identifying the Lenders hereunder. The Register (and the Participant Register) is intended to cause each Commitment and each Loan to be in registered form within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) (or, in each case, any amended or successor sections) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

131

(f) Securitization. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may securitize their Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans to their controlled Affiliates, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Xxxxx’x, S&P or one or more other rating agencies. The Loan Parties shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect any and all Securitizations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Securitization shall release any Lender party thereto from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any pledgee, secured party or any other party to such Securitization for such Lender as a party hereto and no change in ownership of the Loans may be effected except pursuant to subsection (b) above.

(g) Lender Participations.

(i) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more parties (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding a Xxxxxx’s sale of a participation interest, such Xxxxxx’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged. Borrower, Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender. No Lender shall grant any Participant the right to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) increase the Commitment of the Lender from which the Participant purchased its participation interest; (ii) reduce the principal of, or rate or amount of interest on, the Loans; (iii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or (iv) release of all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees, or all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in connection with any release of the relevant Guarantees or Collateral permitted by this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, participants shall not have the right to vote on waivers of Defaults or Events of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Article III and Section 12.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) as if it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the last sentence of Section 2.9(a) as if it were a Lender and to comply with Section 3.2(g) by providing the applicable forms to the participating Lender.

(ii) 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”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form for the purposes of the Code, including under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) (or, in each case, any amended or successor sections) of the United States Treasury Regulations, or, in each case, its successor. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

132

(h) Disqualified Institutions.

(i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or grant a participation in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless Xxxxxxxx has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or Participant that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a written supplement to the list of “Disqualified Institutions” referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee or Participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or Participant and (y) the execution by Borrower of an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment or participation in violation of this clause (h)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (h) shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Agent, require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 12.7), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons (other than a Disqualified Institution) at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions to whom an assignment or participation is made in violation of clause (i) above (A) will not have the right to (x) receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such plan of reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such plan of reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other applicable laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan of reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other applicable laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

133

(iv) The Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by Xxxxxxxx and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on a Platform, including that portion of such Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender or potential Lender requesting the same.

(v) The Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

(i) Securities Laws. Each Lender agrees that it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan, Note or other Obligation under the securities laws of the United States or of any other jurisdiction.

(j) Information. In connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 12.21, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.

(k) Pledge to Federal Reserve Bank. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

134

12.8 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement and any waiver or amendment hereto may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including by electronic imaging) all with the same force and effect as if the same was a fully executed and delivered original manual counterpart. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation any Assignment and Acceptance, amendments or other modifications, Notices of Borrowing, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

12.9 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

12.10 Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the parties hereto hereby agree that all agreements between them under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to Borrower and evidenced hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the maximum non-usurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the Obligations, under the laws of the State of New York (or the laws of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), or under applicable federal laws which may presently or hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum non-usurious interest rate than under the laws of the State of New York (or such other jurisdiction), in any case after taking into account, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all relevant payments or charges under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith, and any available exemptions, exceptions and exclusions (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or reduced to the extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such circumstance Agent or any Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of any other then outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other then outstanding Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations and other Indebtedness of Borrower to Agent and the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness, until Payment in Full thereof, so that the actual rate of interest on account of all such Indebtedness does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate throughout the entire term of such Indebtedness. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other agreements among the parties hereto.

135

12.11 [Reserved].

12.12 Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns; Interpretation. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties, supersede any prior written and verbal agreements among them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and shall bind and benefit the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly drafted, and no provision of it shall be interpreted or construed for or against a party because such party purportedly prepared or requested such provision, any other provision, or this Agreement as a whole.

12.13 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NEITHER THE AGENT, ANY LENDER NOR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE LOAN PARTIES (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR EQUITY OR OTHERWISE) FOR LOSSES SUFFERED BY THE LOAN PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS OR RELATIONSHIPS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, UNLESS IT IS DETERMINED BY A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT OR COURT ORDER BINDING ON THE AGENT, SUCH LENDER OR SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY (AS THE CASE MAY BE) THAT THE LOSSES WERE THE RESULT OF ACTS OR OMISSIONS CONSTITUTING GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE AGENT, SUCH LENDER, OR SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY (AS THE CASE MAY BE). EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ALL FUTURE CLAIMS AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; PROVIDED THAT SUCH WAIVER SHALL NOT LIMIT THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER UNDER SECTION 12.4.

12.14 GOVERNING LAW. THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Each of Agent and the Lenders shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed by any of them (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (in which case such Person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any Governmental Authority or regulatory or self-regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, (i) notify the Borrower as soon as practicable in advance of any such disclosure by such Person unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such Information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment); (c) to the extent required by applicable law or by any subpoena or other legal process (in which case such Person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any Governmental Authority or regulatory or self-regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, (i) notify the Borrower as soon as practicable in advance of any such disclosure by such Person unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such Information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment); (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding, or other exercise of rights or remedies, relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same (or at least as restrictive) as this Section, to any assignee or any actual or prospective assignee, participant or pledgee (or any of their respective advisors) in connection with any actual or prospective assignment, participation or pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement; (g) with the consent of Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) is available to Agent or the Lenders or any of its or their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties; or (i) to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of the Facilities.

As used herein, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party relating to it or its business that a reasonable person would consider confidential.

Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that (i) Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including federal and state securities laws.

138

12.30 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

12.31 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. The provisions of this Section 12.31 shall survive the Payment In Full of the Obligations, the termination of the Commitments and the termination of this Agreement.
