The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Prime Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to any Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Prime Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms

of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

ARTICLE II

Amount and Terms of Credit Facilities

SECTION 2.01 Loans.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth:

(x) (A) Each Term Lender having an Initial Term Loan Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make a term loan (collectively, the “Initial Term Loan”) to the Initial Borrower on the Closing Date in the amount of the Initial Term Loan Commitment of such Lender and (B) each Term Lender having an Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make a term loan (collectively, the “Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term Loan”) to the Borrowers on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in the amount of the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term Commitment of such Lender.

(y) Each Revolving Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make revolving loans (all such loans, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrowers under a revolving credit facility in an amount at any one time outstanding (on an aggregate basis) not to exceed:

(i) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to the Maximum Revolver Amount,

(ii) any time after the Closing Date, the lesser of:

(A) an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolver Commitment, and

(B) such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the lesser of:

a. the amount equal to the Maximum Revolver Amount, and

b. the amount equal to the Borrowing Base as of such date (based upon the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Administrative Borrower to the Revolving Agent, as adjusted by the Revolving Agent for Reserves established by the Revolving Agent from time to time).

(b) Each of the Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(x) may, at the option of a Borrower, (i) be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Term

SOFR Loans; provided, that all such Term Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Term Loans of the same Type and (ii) may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, but once repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each Lender, may at its option, make any Term SOFR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Term SOFR Loan; provided, that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay such Term SOFR Loan and (ii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs to the Borrowers resulting therefrom.

(d) Each of the Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(y) may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall constitute Obligations and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.01, the Revolving Agent may at any time establish one or more reserves (“Reserves”) under the Revolving Facility as the Revolving Agent may deem proper and appropriate in the Revolving Agent’s Permitted Discretion (including, without limitation, Reserves based on the results of any Field Exams, including relating to contingent liabilities of the Credit Parties under any Material Contract of such Credit Party). A Reserve may reduce the Borrowing Base (by reduction of an advance rate set forth in the Borrowing Base or otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt, the Revolving Agent may in its Permitted Discretion (but the Revolving Agent shall have no obligation in any circumstance to) increase, reduce or release any Reserve that was previously established under this clause (e).

SECTION 2.02 Borrowing Procedures and Settlements.

(a) Procedure for Borrowing Revolving Loans. Each Borrowing of a Revolving Loan shall be made by a written request by an Authorized Officer pursuant to prior written notice in the form of Exhibit N-1 or such other form approved by the Administrative Agent (a “Notice of Borrowing”) delivered to Revolving Agent and received by Revolving Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. one Business Day prior to the Funding Date, specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing (which such amount may not be less than the Minimum Revolver Borrowing Amount), and (ii) the requested Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day); provided, that Revolving Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to accept as timely requests that are received later than 11:00 a.m. on the applicable Business Day; and, provided, further, that Borrower shall promptly after delivery of such written request confirm Revolving Agent’s receipt thereof by phone or written confirmation. With respect to each request for a Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), each Revolving Xxxxxx agrees that Revolving Agent may in Revolving Agent’s sole discretion, but Revolving Agent shall not be obligated to, make such requested Borrowing to Borrower on behalf of the Revolving Lenders as a Swingline Advance.

(b) Making of Revolving Loans.

(i) After receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), Revolving Agent at its option and in its discretion shall do either of the following:

(A) in Revolving Agent’s sole discretion, advance the amount of the requested Borrowing to a Borrower disproportionately (a “Swingline Advance”) out of Revolving Agent’s own funds on behalf of the Revolving Lenders in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Swingline Loan Limit, which advance shall be (i) on the Funding Date specified in the relevant Notice of Borrowing (which shall have been delivered no later than one (1) Business Day in advance of the requested Funding Date) and (ii) notwithstanding anything in the Notice of Borrowing to the contrary, an ABR Loan. Revolving Agent shall make the proceeds of Swingline Advances available to a Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds to the Designated Account. All Swingline Advances made under this Section 2.02(b)(i)(A) shall be subject to Settlement in accordance with Section 2.02(d) below; it being understood that all payments on any such Swingline Advances shall be payable solely to Revolving Agent solely for its own account until Settlement thereof shall have occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, all Swingline Advances constitute Loans hereunder; or

(B) notify the Revolving Lenders by telephone, email, or other electronic form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing; such notification to be sent by 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day that is one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date. If Revolving Agent has notified the Revolving Lenders of a requested Borrowing on the Business Day that is one (1) Business Day prior to the Funding Date, then each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Revolving Agent in immediately available funds, to Revolving Agent’s Account, not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date. After Revolving Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans from the Revolving Lenders, Revolving Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to a Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the Designated Account; provided, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(c)(ii), no Revolving Lender shall have an obligation to make any Revolving Loan, if (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.

(ii) Unless Revolving Agent receives notice from a Revolving Lender prior to 9:30 a.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date relative to a requested Borrowing as to which Revolving Agent has notified the Revolving Lenders of a requested Borrowing that such Revolving Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Revolving Agent for the account of a Borrower the amount of that Revolving Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Revolving Agent may assume that each Revolving Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the

Funding Date and Revolving Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to such Borrower a corresponding amount. If, on the requested Funding Date, any Revolving Lender shall not have remitted the full amount that it is required to make available to Revolving Agent in immediately available funds and if Revolving Agent has made available to a Borrower such amount on the requested Funding Date, then such Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Revolving Agent in immediately available funds, to Revolving Agent’s Account, no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is the first Business Day after the requested Funding Date (in which case, the interest accrued on such Xxxxxx’s portion of such Borrowing for the Funding Date shall be for Revolving Agent’s Account). If any Revolving Lender shall not remit the full amount that it is required to make available to Revolving Agent in immediately available funds as and when required hereby and if Revolving Agent has made available to a Borrower such amount, then that Revolving Lender shall be obligated to immediately remit such amount to Revolving Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day until the date on which such amount is so remitted. A notice submitted by Revolving Agent to any Revolving Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.02(c)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If the amount that a Revolving Lender is required to remit is made available to Revolving Agent, then such payment to Revolving Agent shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Revolving Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify the applicable Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Revolving Agent, such Borrower shall pay such amount to Revolving Agent for Revolving Agent’s Account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable ABR Loans at the time to the Revolving Loans composing such Borrowing. If any Borrower and any Revolving Lender shall pay interest to the Revolving Agent for the same (or a portion of the same) period, the Revolving Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period.

(i) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document notwithstanding, but subject to Section 2.02(c)(iv), at any time Revolving Agent hereby is authorized by a Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, from time to time, in Revolving Agent’s sole discretion, to make Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, any Borrower, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, that Revolving Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to any Credit Party hereunder (the Revolving Loans described in this Section 2.02(c)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Protective Advance shall be made which would cause (A) the aggregate amount of all Protective Advances outstanding at any one time to exceed 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount unless the Required Revolving Lenders otherwise agree or (B) the aggregate amount of Revolver Usage outstanding at any one time to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount.

(ii) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document notwithstanding, but subject to Section 2.02(c)(iv), the Revolving Lenders hereby authorize

Revolving Agent, and Revolving Agent may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Revolving Loans to any Borrower notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as (A) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the outstanding Revolver Usage does not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount (unless Required Revolving Lenders agree to a higher amount), and (B) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the outstanding Revolver Usage does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. In the event Revolving Agent obtains actual knowledge that an Overadvance exists, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Revolving Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders as soon as practicable and the Revolving Lenders with Revolver Commitments thereupon shall, together with Revolving Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with the Borrowers intended to eliminate the Overadvance within thirty (30) days. In such circumstances, if any Revolving Lender with a Revolver Commitment objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Revolving Lenders. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders and Revolving Agent and are not meant for the benefit of the Borrowers, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 5.02. Each Revolving Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be obligated to make Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.02(b) in, or settle Overadvances made by Revolving Agent with Revolving Agent as provided in Section 2.02(d) (or Section 2.15), as applicable) for, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by Revolving Agent reported to such Revolving Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.02(c)(ii).

(iii) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance (each, an “Extraordinary Advance”) shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder. Prior to Settlement with respect to Extraordinary Advances, all payments on the Extraordinary Advances made by Revolving Agent, including interest thereon, shall be payable to Revolving Agent solely for its own account. The Extraordinary Advances shall be repayable on demand, secured by Revolving Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Loans. The provisions of this Section 2.02(c) are for the exclusive benefit of Revolving Agent and the Revolving Lenders and are not intended to benefit any Borrower (or any other Credit Party) in any way.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary: (A) no Extraordinary Advance may be made by Revolving Agent if such Extraordinary Advance would cause the aggregate principal amount of Extraordinary Advances outstanding to exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount; and (B) to the extent that the making of any Extraordinary Advance causes the aggregate Revolver Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, such portion of such Extraordinary Advance shall be for Revolving Agent’s sole and separate account and not for the account of any Revolving Lender and shall be entitled to priority in repayment in accordance with Section 5.02(j).

(d) Settlement. It is agreed that each Revolving Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by the Revolving Lenders to equal, at all times, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Such agreement notwithstanding,

Revolving Agent and the Revolving Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of the Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, settlement among the Revolving Lenders as to the Revolving Loans (including the Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Revolving Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Revolving Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Revolving Agent in its sole discretion (A) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances, and (B) with respect to Parent’s or their Subsidiaries’ payments or other amounts received, as to each by notifying the Revolving Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein)(including Section 2.15): (1) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Revolving Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Revolving Agent shall, by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Revolving Lender (as such Revolving Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Revolving Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances), and (2) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Revolving Lender is less than such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Revolving Lender shall no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to Revolving Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Revolving Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances). Such amounts made available to Revolving Agent under clause (2) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swingline Advances or Extraordinary Advances and shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Revolving Agent by any Revolving Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Revolving Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.

(ii) In determining whether a Revolving Lender’s balance of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) is less than, equal to, or greater than such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, Revolving Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Revolving Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by the Borrowers and allocable to the Revolving Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.

(iii) Between Settlement Dates, Revolving Agent, to the extent Swingline Advances and/or Extraordinary Advances for the account of Revolving Agent are outstanding, may apply any payments or other amounts received by Revolving Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, to the

Swingline Advances and/or Extraordinary Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, Revolving Agent shall be entitled to all interest and fees at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Revolving Agent with respect to all Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances.

(iv) Anything in this Section 2.02(c) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Revolving Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 2.15.

SECTION 2.03 Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing for Term Loans (i) prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to each Borrowing of Term Loans, which are to be initially Term SOFR Loans and (ii) prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of each Borrowing of Term Loans which are to be ABR Loans. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be made, (B) the Funding Date (which shall be, in the case of Term Loans, the Closing Date), (C) whether the Term Loans shall consist of ABR Loans and/or Term SOFR Loans and (D) Borrower’s wire instructions. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Term Lender written notice of each proposed Borrowing of Term Loans, of such Xxxx Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04 Disbursement of Term Loans.

(a) No later than (i) 2:00 p.m. (New York time), in the case of each Borrowing of Term Loans for which a Notice of Borrowing has been timely delivered in accordance with Section 2.03 (other than for Borrowings on the Closing Date, or a Borrowing on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date of Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term Loans), each Term Lender will make available its Pro Rata Share, if any, of the Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below, (ii) 5:00 p.m. (New York time), in the case of the making of the Initial Term Loan, if the conditions set forth in Article VI to the effectiveness of this Agreement are met prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date, each Term Lender will make available its Pro Rata Share of the Initial Term Loan in the manner provided below, and (iii) 5:00 p.m. (New York time), in the case of the making of the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term Loan, if the conditions to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 1 set forth in Section 4 of Amendment No. 1 are met prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, each Term Lender will make available its Pro Rata Share of the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term Loan in the manner provided below.

(b) Each Term Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to a Borrower, under any Borrowing of Term Loans, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will make available to such Borrower, the aggregate of the amounts so made available in Dollars. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Term Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing of Term Loans that such Term Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Term Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on

such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to such Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Xxxx Xxxxxx and the Administrative Agent has made available the same to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Term Lender. If such Term Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Term Lender or the Borrowers, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to any Borrower, to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate or (ii) if paid by any Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.08, applicable to ABR Loans. If such Borrower and such Term Lender shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the same (or a portion of the same) period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

SECTION 2.05 Payment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on the Maturity Date, the aggregate amount of all outstanding Loans.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) Each Borrower agrees that from time to time on and after the Closing Date, upon the request to Administrative Agent by any Lender, at Borrowers’ own expense, each Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a Note, evidencing the Loans made by, and payable to such Lender or registered assigns in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s applicable Initial Term Loan Commitment, Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term Commitment or Revolver Commitment. The Agents shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 12.06(b)(iv), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and the Type of each Loan made, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 2.05 shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, that the failure of any Lender or Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.06 Conversions and Continuations. (a) The Borrowers shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type; provided, that ABR Loans may not be converted into Term SOFR Loans if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed conversion and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Lenders in respect of the Credit Facility that is the subject of such conversion have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Administrative Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent written notice prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three Business Days (or one (1) Business Day in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans) (and in either case on not more than five (5) Business Days) prior to such proposed conversion or continuation, in the form of Exhibit N-2 or such other form approved by the Administrative Agent (each, a “Notice of Conversion”) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued and the Type of Loans to be converted or continued. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.

(b) If any Event of Default is in existence at the time of any continuation of any Term SOFR Loans and the Administrative Agent determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such Term SOFR Loans shall be automatically converted into a Borrowing of ABR Loans.

SECTION 2.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. Borrowing of the Initial Term Loan funded on the Closing Date under this Agreement shall be made by each Term Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment on the basis of its then-applicable Initial Term Loan Commitment. Borrowing of the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term Loan funded on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date under this Agreement shall be made by each Term Lender with an Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term Commitment on the basis of its then-applicable Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term Commitment. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be made by each Revolving Lender with a Revolver Commitment on the basis of its then-applicable Revolver Commitment. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder.

SECTION 2.08 Interest.

(a) The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until repayment or prepayment thereof at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the ABR in effect from time to time.

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until repayment or prepayment thereof at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time plus the relevant Adjusted Term SOFR Rate.

(c) From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon notice by the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Borrower (or automatically while any Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or Section 10.01(h) exists), the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all Loans and all other due and unpaid Obligations, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, at the rate described in Section 2.08(a) or Section 2.08(b), as applicable, plus two (2) percentage points per annum (the “Default Rate”). All such interest at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders and in cash.

(d) Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October, beginning with the Fiscal Quarter ending September 30, 2022 (the “ABR Interest Payment Date”), (ii) in respect of each Term SOFR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing on September 30, 2022 (the “SOFR Interest Payment Date”) and (iii) in respect of each Loan, on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time in consultation with the Administrative Borrower and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit 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 Credit Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

(f) On each of the ABR Interest Payment Date or SOFR Interest Payment Date, as applicable, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans by paying all such accrued interest in cash. All accrued, but unpaid Interest shall be payable in cash on the Maturity Date.

(g) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans, shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof. The Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Term SOFR Loans and ABR for the ABR Loans shall be determined on the first day of each January, April, July and October. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, to the extent that the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the drawn Revolving Loans, is less than $37,500,000 on any date on or after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the amount of interest payable on account of the Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be equal to the amount of interest that would be payable had the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans equaled $37,500,000 on such date; provided, that, to the extent the Revolver Commitment is reduced to an amount that is less than $37,500,000 (but greater than $0), then, to the extent that the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans is less than $18,750,000 on any date, the amount of interest payable on account of the Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be equal to the amount of interest that would be payable had the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans equaled $18,750,000 on such date.

SECTION 2.09 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(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 (except any reserve requirement reflected in Adjusted Term SOFR Rate); or

(ii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Non-Excluded Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or participation therein,

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or any Lender of participating in, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or any Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Administrative Borrower, within five (5) Business Days of demand therefor, will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) At any time that any Term SOFR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the Administrative Borrower may either (A) if the affected Term SOFR Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent written notice thereof on the same date that the Administrative Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (B) if the affected Term SOFR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such Term SOFR Loan into an ABR Loan; provided,

that if more than one Lender is so affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b); provided, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If, after the later of the date hereof, and that date such entity becomes a Lender hereunder, the adoption of any Applicable Law regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by a Lender or its parent with any request or directive made or adopted after such date regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, association, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then within five (5) days after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Xxxxxx’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such Applicable Law as in effect on the date hereof. Each Lender (on its own behalf), upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will, as promptly as practicable upon ascertaining knowledge thereof, give written notice thereof to the Administrative Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts. The failure to give any such notice, with respect to a particular event, within the time frame specified in Section 2.13, shall not release or diminish any of the Borrowers’ obligation to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) for amounts accrued or incurred after the date of such notice with respect to such event.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) This Section 2.10 shall not apply to Taxes to the extent duplicative of Section 5.04.

SECTION 2.11 Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of a Term SOFR Loan is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last Business Day of a calendar quarter for such Term SOFR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06, 2.10 or 4.04, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Article X or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing (except with respect to a revocation as provided in Section 2.10 or by reason of a Lender being a Defaulting Lender), (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a Term SOFR Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion, (d) any Term SOFR Loan is not continued as a Term SOFR Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or (e) any prepayment of principal of a Term SOFR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.01, the Borrowers shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for

requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue, failure to prepay, reduction or failure to reduce, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Term SOFR Loan.

SECTION 2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(b) or 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Administrative Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided, that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any Lender provided in Section 2.10 or 5.04.

SECTION 2.13 Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04 is given by any Lender more than one hundred twenty (120) days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the giving of such notice to the Administrative Borrower.

SECTION 2.14 Bank Accounts and Collections.

(a) The Credit Parties shall establish and maintain cash management services of a type and on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent at one or more banks reasonably satisfactory to Agent (“Cash Management Banks”). Within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date (or such later date as Collateral Agent may reasonably agree in its sole discretion), each Credit Party will enter into a Springing Control Agreement with the applicable Cash Management Bank for each Deposit Account of Credit Parties (other than a Monitored Account or other Excluded Account). Schedule 2.14 sets forth a complete listing of Deposit Accounts for each Credit Party as of the Closing Date, including the identification of the Credit Party ownership, the name and address of the applicable Cash Management Bank, the account number, the purpose or usage of the account, and a designation of the account as a Springing Control Account, Excluded Account, or Monitored Account.

(b) Each Springing Control Agreement shall provide, among other things, that the applicable Cash Management Bank will comply with any instructions originated by Collateral Agent directing the disposition of the funds in the applicable Deposit Account subject to such Springing Control Agreement, without further consent by the applicable Credit Party. With respect to each Springing Control Account, unless a Cash Dominion Event has occurred, the Collateral Agent will not elect to provide instructions to the applicable Cash Management Bank

regarding the disposition of funds in such account. Upon a Cash Dominion Event, the Required Lenders will maintain the right, in their sole discretion, to exercise rights provided for in each Springing Control Agreement, including requiring the applicable Cash Management Bank to forward funds in the applicable Deposit Account to the Collateral Agent to be applied in accordance with Section 5.2(j); provided, that, prior to the exercise of such rights, at the sole election of Required Lenders, all amounts received in such Springing Control Account shall be sent on each Business Day by wire transfer or ACH payment to Collateral Agent for application at the end of each Business Day to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 5.02(j).

(c) Collateral Agent shall credit to the payment of the Obligations any funds received by Collateral Agent for which Collateral Agent has received notice that such funds are collected and available to Collateral Agent (i) on the same day of Collateral Agent’s receipt of such notice if such notice is received by Collateral Agent on or before 2 p.m. on a Business Day, and (ii) on the Business Day immediately following Agent’s receipt of such notice if such notice is received by Collateral Agent after 2 p.m. on a Business Day, or if such notice is received by Collateral Agent on a day that is not a Business Day. It is understood and agreed that the transfer and crediting of funds from a Springing Control Account may take up to two Business Days.

(d) Each Credit Party will deposit or cause to be deposited, no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all proceeds in respect of any Collateral, all collections (of a nature susceptible to a deposit in a bank account) and all other amounts received by such Credit Party (including payments made by Account Debtors directly to such Credit Party and remittances on credit card sales) into a Deposit Account that is subject to a Springing Control Agreement (or to a lockbox, to the extent funds collected therefrom are deposited directly into a Deposit Account that is subject Springing Control Agreement).

(e) No Credit Party shall maintain or permit any of its Subsidiaries to maintain cash, Cash Equivalents, or other amounts in any Deposit Account (other than a Monitored Account or other Excluded Account, in the ordinary course of business), unless the Agent shall have received a Springing Control Agreement in respect of each such account.

(f) Each Credit Party shall cause each Person processing or collecting any credit card payments or proceeds of receivables on behalf of the Credit Parties to deliver such payments or proceeds promptly, but not less frequently than each Business Day, into a Deposit Account that is subject to a Springing Control Agreement.

(g) If at any time, any Credit Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any proceeds or collections in contravention of this Section 2.14, such proceeds and collections shall (i) be held in trust by such Credit Party for benefit of the Collateral Agent, (ii) not be commingled with any of such Credit Party’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Credit Party, and (iii) be deposited into the Revolving Agent’s Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Credit Party may be instructed by the Collateral Agent, no later than the Business Day after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.15 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Xxxxxx’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agents for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 5.02(j) or Article X or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to any Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agents as follows: first, to Revolving Agent to the extent of any Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances that were made by Revolving Agent and that were required to be, but were not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, second, to the payment of any other amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the applicable Agent hereunder; third, as the Administrative Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agents; fourth, if so determined by the Agents and the Administrative Borrower, to be held in a noninterest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. A Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Line Fees, for any period during which that Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Administrative Borrower and each Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agents may determine to be necessary to cause the Lenders to hold their respective Pro Rata Share of Loans, 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 the Borrowers while that Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the

affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.16 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Xxxxxxx and the Administrative Borrower so long as the Administrative 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 2.16(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. No Hedge Agreement shall be deemed to be a “Credit Document” for purposes of this Section 2.16.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit 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 Credit Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent will notify the Administrative Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.16(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.16, 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 Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.16.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent may modify the tenor for any Benchmark settings (including, as applicable, the definition of “Term SOFR”) at or after such time to remove and/or replace 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 Administrative Agent may modify the tenor for all Benchmark settings (including, as applicable, the definition of “Term SOFR”) at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

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

SECTION 4.02 Mandatory Termination of Commitments.

(a) The Initial Term Loan Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date. The Amendment No. 1 Term Loan Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date.

(b) The Revolving Commitment shall terminate at 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Maturity Date.

SECTION 4.03 Reduction of Commitments. The Borrowers may reduce the Revolver Commitments, subject to payment of the Prepayment Premium, if applicable, in accordance with Section 4.04, to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (A) the Revolver Usage as of such date, plus (B) the principal amount of all Revolving Loans not yet made as to which a request has been given by a Borrower under Section 2.02(a). Each such reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (unless the Revolver Commitments are being reduced to zero and the amount of the Revolver Commitments in effect immediately prior to such reduction are less than $5,000,000), shall be made by providing not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Revolving Agent, and shall be irrevocable. Once reduced, the Revolver Commitments may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Revolver Commitments shall reduce the Revolver Commitments of each Revolving Lender proportionately in accordance with its ratable share thereof.

SECTION 4.04 Prepayment Premium.

(a) Upon (i) each mandatory prepayment of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 5.02(a), (b), (d), or (e), (ii) any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.01, (iii) any voluntary reduction or termination in Revolving Commitments and/or (iv) any payment of the Loans and/or reduction or termination of commitments resulting from any enforcement of remedies pursuant to Section 10.02, including pursuant to acceleration thereunder (each, a “Prepayment Premium Event”), each Borrower, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Share thereof, the Prepayment Premium applicable to the Term Loans so prepaid (or Revolving Commitments so reduced or terminated). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Prepayment Premium shall not be required to be paid with respect to (x) Revolver Commitment reductions of up to $10,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement and (y) optional and mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount during the term of this Agreement that is less than the lesser of (x) $58,300,000 and (y) the Available Amount calculated as of the date of any such prepayment, with details of such calculation delivered to the Administrative Agent as certified by an Authorized Officer of the Administrative Borrower.

(b) Any Prepayment Premium payable in accordance with this Section 4.04 shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by Lenders as the result of the occurrence of the Prepayment Premium Event and the Credit Parties agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE CREDIT PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACCELERATION.

(c) The Credit Parties expressly agree that: (i) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (ii) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable

notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Credit Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; (iv) the Credit Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph; (v) their agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Term Loans, and (vi) the Prepayment Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Agents and Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Agents and Lenders or profits lost by the Agents and Lenders as a result of such Prepayment Premium Event.

(c) If, at any time, the Revolver Usage on such date exceeds the lesser of (i) Revolver Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base, then the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such applicable excess.

(d) Concurrently with the incurrence of any Indebtedness by any Credit Party (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 9.01), the Borrowers, jointly and severally,

SECTION 5.03 Payment of Obligations; Method and Place of Payment.

(a) The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under each other Credit Document are not subject to counterclaim, set-off, rights of rescission or any other defense. Subject to Section 5.02, and except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrowers, without set-off, rights of rescission, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Secured Parties entitled thereto, or, with respect to payments in connection with the Revolving Loans, to the Revolving Agent for the ratable account of the Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars to the applicable Agent at the location and/or in the account specified by such Agent to the Administrative Borrower in writing for such purpose. The applicable Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by such Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time), on such day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Secured Parties entitled thereto.

(b) For purposes of computing interest or fees, any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time), shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding 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 due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall continue to accrue during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

SECTION 5.04 Net Payments.

(a) Subject to the following sentence, all payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear

of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any current or future Taxes (including Other Taxes) other than Excluded Taxes. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable under this Agreement, the Borrowers shall increase the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes, including any such Non-Excluded Taxes payable in respect of additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 5.04(a)) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrowers, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrowers shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Secured Party, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to such Xxxxxx, acting reasonably) received by the Borrowers showing payment thereof. If any Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest, costs or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. In addition, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. The agreements in this Section 5.04(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) Each Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall:

(i) deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent (2) two copies of either (A) in the case of Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (together with a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to such Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), (B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, or (C) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-9, the certificate described in (A) above, if applicable, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender will provide the documents set forth in (A) above on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, in each case, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement;

(ii) deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form)

promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender; and

(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, in which case such Lender shall not be required to provide any form under subparagraphs (i) or (ii) above. Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 12.06 or a Lender pursuant to Section 12.06 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) or Section 5.04(c), as applicable; provided, that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(c) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided, that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Xxxxxx’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(d) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest, additions to tax and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Administrative Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably

requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of a Tax for which an additional payment has been made by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 5.04 or Section 12.05 of this Agreement, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrowers for such amount (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 5.04 and Section 12.05 with respect to the Tax giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed on the receipt of such refund) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and requirements under Applicable Laws) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the reasonable determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.04 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Loans and Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

SECTION 5.05 Computations of Interest and Fees. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day and the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of (a) three hundred and sixty five (365) (or three hundred and sixty six (366) as appropriate) days in the case of ABR Loans and (b) three hundred and sixty (360) days in all other cases. Payments due on a day that is not a Business Day shall (except as otherwise required by Section 2.09(c)) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment.

Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Secured Parties.

SECTION 11.06 Nonreliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Credit Party or any Affiliate of a Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any other Secured Party. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any other Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of a Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

SECTION 11.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 11.07 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Total Credit Exposure immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities,

129

obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents, any Specified Hedging Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 11.07 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 11.08 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender,” “Lenders,” “Secured Party” and “Secured Parties” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 11.09 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent, upon twenty (20) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, then the Required Lenders (or with respect to the Revolving Agent, the Required Revolving Lenders) shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Administrative Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no applicable successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is twenty (20) days following such retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, such retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under any of the Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent will continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and the Xxxxxxx shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Xxxxxxx appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After an Agent’s resignation as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

130

SECTION 11.10 Agents Generally. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

SECTION 11.11 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of the Administrative Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Administrative Agent, set-off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Administrative Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Credit Document against any Credit Party or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b) Subject to Section 12.09, if, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Administrative Agent in excess of such Xxxxxx’s pro rata share of all such distributions by the Administrative Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to the Administrative Agent, in-kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Administrative Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders, so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their pro rata shares; provided, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

SECTION 11.12 Agency for Perfection. Administrative Agent hereby appoints each other Secured Party as its agent (and each Secured Party hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Administrative Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 7 or Article 8, as applicable, of the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable state can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any Secured Party obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Secured Party shall notify Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Administrative Agent or in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.

SECTION 11.13 Authorization to File Proof of Claim. In case of the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding with respect to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and

131

payable or whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand therefor) shall be entitled: (i) to file and prove a claim in such proceeding for the full amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for reimbursement under Section 12.05) allowed in such proceeding; and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any trustee, liquidator or another similar official in any such proceedings is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations of the Credit Party hereunder or the rights of any Lender, or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

SECTION 11.14 Credit Bids. Each Credit Party and each Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, based upon the written instruction of the Required Lenders, to bid and purchase (either directly or through one (1) or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted (i) by the Administrative Agent under the provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code (ii) under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363, 365 and/or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) by the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise, including a foreclosure sale) in accordance with applicable law (clauses (i), (ii) an (iii), a “Collateral Sale”); and in connection with any Collateral Sale based upon the written instruction of Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may accept noncash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by such acquisition vehicle under the direction or control of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent may offset all or any portion of the Obligations against the purchase price of such Collateral. Each Secured Party hereby agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Credit Documents, or with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate obligations under any Credit Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral.

SECTION 11.15 Binding Effect. Each Secured Party, by accepting the benefits of the Credit Documents, agrees that (i) any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if expressly required hereby, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents, (ii) any action taken by the Administrative Agent in reliance upon the instructions of Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (iii) the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) 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.

(A) the Administrative Borrower; provided, that (1) no consent of the Administrative Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if Default or an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.01(a), 10.01(c) (solely with respect to a default under Section 9.13) or Section 10.01(h) has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, (2) the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof, and (3) no consent of the Administrative Borrower shall be required in connection with the assignment of Revolver Commitments (and Revolving Loans funded thereunder) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25,000,000 by ACF Xxxxx I LP within 120 days of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date;

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided, that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent of the Administrative Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a), (c) (solely in respect of a breach of Section 8.01(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), or Section 9.13) or Section 10.01(h) has occurred and is continuing; and provided further, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by affiliated Lenders or related Approved Funds and contemporaneous assignments by a single assignor to affiliated Lenders or related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, that this paragraph shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations in respect of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, that only one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved Funds;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all “know your customer” documentation; and

139

(E) No Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any of the Credit Parties.

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section 12.06, from and after the recordation date of each Assignment and Acceptance in the Register, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.03 and 12.05); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.06 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 12.06.

(i) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, the Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name

140

is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register, as in effect at the close of business on the preceding Business Day, shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower, and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.

(ii) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Xxxxxx and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 12.06, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(iii) Disqualified Institutions.

(A) 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 or transferring 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, as applicable, to such Person unless Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower (unless a Default or Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or 10.01(h) has occurred and is continuing, in which case no consent from the Administrative Borrower is required) have consented in writing in their sole and absolute discretion to such assignment or participation, 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, (x) no assignment or participation shall be retroactively invalidated pursuant to this Section 12.06(b)(vi) if the Trade Date therefor occurred prior to the assignee’s or participant’s becoming a Disqualified Institution (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), and (y) the execution by the Administrative Borrower or Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such an assignment will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution.

(B) Administrative Agent and each assignor of a Loan or seller of a participation hereunder shall be entitled to rely conclusively on a representation of the assignee Lender or Participant in the relevant Assignment or participation agreement, as applicable, that such assignee or purchaser is not a Disqualified Institution. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorize Administrative Agent, to verbally disclose to any potential Lender or Participant whether not such Person is on the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Administrative Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”). Any assignment to a Disqualified Institution or grant or sale of participation to a Disqualified Institution in violation of this Section 12.06(b)(vi) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this Section 12.06 shall apply.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a

141

natural person, a Defaulting Lender or any Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i) of the first proviso to Section 12.01. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 12.06, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, and 5.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 12.06. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.09(b) as though it were a Lender, provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.09(a) as though it were a Lender.

(i) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.04 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 5.04(b) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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 Lender’s obligations hereunder (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall not have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Each Term Lender and, to the extent its claim arises in connection with a Term Loan, each other Indemnitee and holder of an Obligation of a Credit Party (collectively, the “Term Creditors”) acknowledges and agrees that because of their differing rights in proceeds of the Collateral, the Obligations arising under or in respect of the Term Loans (collectively, the

142

“Term Loan Obligations”) are fundamentally different from the obligations arising under or in respect of the Revolving Loans and the Revolver Commitments (and participations therein) (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Obligations”) and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or confirmed in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving any Borrower or any Guarantor as a debtor. No Term Creditor shall seek in any such bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as the Revolving Loans and/or the Revolver Commitments (and participations therein), each other Indemnitee and holder of an Obligation of a Credit Party (collectively, the “Revolving Creditors”) or shall oppose any pleading or motion by the Revolving Creditors for the Revolving Creditors and the Term Creditors to be treated as separate classes of creditors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and regardless of whether the Term Loan Obligations and the Revolving Credit Obligations are separately classified in any such plan of reorganization, the Term Creditors hereby acknowledge and agree that to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations, the Revolving Creditors shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of interest, and fees, costs and charges incurred subsequent to the commencement of the applicable bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding (regardless of whether such interest, and fees, costs and charges incurred subsequent to the commencement of the applicable bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is allowed as part of the claims of the Revolving Creditors under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) before any distribution (whether pursuant to a plan of reorganization or otherwise) is made in respect of any of the claims held by the Term Creditors. The Term Creditors hereby acknowledge and agree to hold in trust for the benefit of the Revolving Creditors and to turn over to the Revolving Creditors all distributions received or receivable by them in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding (whether pursuant to a plan of reorganization or otherwise) to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of the preceding sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Term Creditors.

SECTION 12.07 Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

(a) Any Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall be permitted to replace any Lender (or any Participant), other than an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 2.12 or Section 5.04, or (ii) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken, provided, that (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Applicable Law, (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts (other than any disputed amounts) pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 2.12 or Section 5.04, as the case may be, owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (D) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to each Agent, (E) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.06 (except that such replaced Lender shall not be obligated to pay any processing and recordation fee required pursuant thereto) and (F) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Xxxxxx.

(b) If any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, which pursuant to the terms of Section

143

12.01 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected or the Required Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then, provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists, any Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent), at its own cost and expense, to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided, that: (i) all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment and (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 12.06 (except that such Non-Consenting Lender shall not be obligated to pay any processing and recordation fee required pursuant thereto).

SECTION 12.08 Securitization. The Credit Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may securitize the 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 Credit 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 the 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 Section 12.06.

SECTION 12.09 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 10.01(h) or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, that (x) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (y) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (1) all amounts so set-off shall be paid over immediately to the

144

Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05(d) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (2) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off.

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

(a) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent consented to by Administrative Agent, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower or any other Credit Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the Credit Parties to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrowers hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

SECTION 12.10 Counterparts. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be executed by one or more of the parties thereto on any number of separate counterparts (including by electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 12.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.11, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law), as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

SECTION 12.12 Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the

145

subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any party hereto or thereto relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

SECTION 12.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE THEREIN) AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 12.14 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any Affiliate of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the applicable party at its respective address set forth on Schedule 12.02 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any Borrower or any other Credit Party or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction;

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, all rights of rescission, set-off, counterclaims, and other defenses in connection with the repayment of the Obligations; and

(f) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 12.14 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

146

SECTION 12.15 Acknowledgments. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Credit Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Credit Parties and the Lenders.

SECTION 12.16 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE CREDIT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

SECTION 12.17 Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and Lender shall hold all Confidential Information confidential in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and (in the case of a Lender that is a bank) in accordance with safe and sound banking practices; provided, that Confidential Information may be disclosed by the Administrative Agent or Lender:

(a) as required by any governmental agency or representative thereof (including, without limitation, public disclosures by the Administrative Agent, Lender, or any of their Related Parties required by the SEC or any other governmental or regulatory authority);

(b) pursuant to legal process;

(c) in connection with the enforcement of any rights or exercise of any remedies by the Administrative Agent or Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(d) to the Administrative Agent’s or Xxxxxx’s attorneys, professional advisors, independent auditors or Affiliates,

(e) in connection with:

(i) the establishment of any special purpose funding vehicle with respect to the Loans,

(ii) any Securitization permitted under Section 12.08;

147

(iii) any prospective assignment of, or participation in, its rights and obligations pursuant to Section 12.06, to prospective assignees or Participants, as the case may be;

(iv) any Hedging Transaction entered into or proposed to be entered into in connection with the Loans made hereunder, to actual or proposed direct or indirect contractual counterparties; and

(v) any actual or proposed credit facility for loans, letters of credit or other extensions of credit to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lender or any of its Affiliates, to any Person providing or proposing to provide such loan, letter of credit or other extension of credit or any agent, trustee or representative of such Person; or

(f) with the consent of the Administrative Borrower;

provided, that in the case of clause (e) hereof, the Person to whom Confidential Information is so disclosed is advised of and has been directed to comply with the provisions of this Section 12.17.

For purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means all information received from a Credit Party or any Subsidiary, whether directly or from a Credit Party or a Subsidiary’s managers, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, or other advisors, relating to the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by or on behalf of such Credit Party or any Subsidiary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any Affiliate thereof is hereby expressly permitted by the Credit Parties to refer to any Credit Party and any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with any promotion or marketing undertaken by the Administrative Agent, Lender or Affiliate and, for such purpose, the Administrative Agent, Lender or Affiliate may utilize any trade name, trademark, logo or other distinctive symbol associated with such Credit Party or such Subsidiary or any of their businesses and (B) any information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by the Administrative Agent or Lender) shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.17.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION (AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 12.17) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWERS AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE CREDIT PARTIES OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN

148

MATERIAL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE CREDIT PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE CREDIT PARTIES AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 12.18 Press Releases, etc. Each Credit Party will not, and will not permit any of its respective Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to publish any press release or other similar public disclosure or announcements (including any marketing materials) regarding this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Transaction Documents, or any of the Transactions, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 12.19 Releases of Guarantees and Liens. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed by each Secured Party (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured Party except as expressly required by Section 12.01) (x) to take any action requested by the Administrative Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Credit Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 12.01 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below and (y) enter into subordination or intercreditor agreements with respect to Indebtedness to the extent the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is otherwise contemplated herein as being a party to such intercreditor or subordination agreement.

(a) At such time as (i) the Loans and the other Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) shall have been paid in full and (ii) the Commitments have been terminated, the Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all pledges and obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Credit Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

(b) Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any guarantee obligations pursuant to this Section 12.19. In each case as specified in this Section 12.19, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to), at the Administrative Borrower’s request and expense, (i) execute and deliver any termination statements, lien releases, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, the Administrative Agent’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by the Administrative Agent and (ii) deliver all possessory collateral in the Administrative Agent’s possession, custody or control to the Administrative Borrower (or the Administrative

149

Xxxxxxxx’s designee), and (iii) execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such other documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral or obligation from the assignment, lien or security interest granted under the Security Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and this Section 12.19.

SECTION 12.20 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each Credit Party agrees to provide all such information to the Lenders upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, whether with respect to any Person who is a Credit Party on the Closing Date or who becomes a Credit Party thereafter.

SECTION 12.21 No Fiduciary Duty. Each Credit Party, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Credit Parties, their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

SECTION 12.22 Authorized Officers. The execution of any certificate requirement hereunder by an Authorized Officer shall be considered to have been done solely in such Authorized Officer’s capacity as an officer of the applicable Credit Party (and not individually). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely and act on any certificate, notice or other document delivered by or on behalf of any Person purporting to be an Authorized Officer of a Credit Party and shall have no duty to inquire as to the actual incumbency or authority of such Person.

SECTION 12.23 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution, and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or (iii) the variation of the

150

terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

SECTION 12.24 Purchase Option.

(a) Termination Notice; Purchase Notice. On one occasion exercised within 30 days of a Purchase Option Trigger Event, the Term Lenders shall have the option, but not the obligation, to (x) purchase from the Revolving Lenders all, but not less than all, of the Revolving Loans and other Revolving Credit Obligations owing to the Revolving Lenders and (y) assume all, but not less than all, of the then-existing Revolver Commitments. Such right shall be exercised by the applicable Term Lenders giving a written notice (the “Purchase Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (who shall in turn promptly deliver such notice to each Revolving Lender). A Purchase Notice once delivered shall be irrevocable. Each Term Lender shall have the right to purchase its pro rata share of the Revolving Credit Obligations and assume its pro rata share of the Revolver Commitments, and Term Lenders exercising such rights may exercise the rights of non-exercising Term Lenders, in each case on a pro rata basis as among exercising Term Lenders until such rights have been exercised as to all Revolving Credit Obligations and all Revolver Commitments (in any case, prior to issuance of the Purchase Notice).

(b) Purchase Option Closing. On the date specified in the Purchase Notice (which shall not be less than 3 Business Days nor more than 5 Business Days after delivery to Administrative Agent of the Purchase Notice) (such date the “Purchase Option Date”), the Revolving Lenders shall sell to the exercising Term Lenders, and the exercising Term Lenders shall purchase from the Revolving Lenders, all, but not less than all, of the Revolving Credit Obligations, and the Revolving Lenders shall assign to the exercising Term Lenders, and the exercising Term Lenders shall assume from the Revolving Lenders all, but not less than all, of the then existing Revolver Commitments. Upon such closing, each selling Revolving Lender shall be released from all of its Revolver Commitments hereunder.

(c) Purchase Price. The purchase, sale and assumption pursuant to this Section 12.24 shall be made by execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent, Revolving Lenders and exercising Term Lenders of an Assignment and Acceptance. Upon the date of such purchase and sale, (i) the exercising Term Lenders shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the Obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and Swingline Advances owing to the Revolving Lenders and the Revolving Agent, including principal, interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and any fees accrued and unpaid thereon, to the extent earned or due and payable in accordance with the Credit Documents and irrespective of whether allowed or allowable in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) any contingent indemnification Obligations in respect of asserted indemnity claims payable to the Revolving Lenders or their respective Affiliates (which, in the case of contingent Obligations in respect thereof, shall be satisfied by providing the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount equal to 100% of such obligations; it being agreed by the parties hereto that the Administrative Agent shall (A) be entitled to apply such cash collateral solely to satisfy such obligations owing to the selling Revolving Lenders and their respective Affiliates and (B) promptly return any unapplied portion of such cash collateral to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Term Lenders at such time as all such Obligations have been paid in full) and (iii) all expenses to the extent owing to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with the Credit Documents shall have been paid in full. Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collateral Agent in accordance

151

with Section 2.08, solely for the account of the selling Revolving Lenders and shall be immediately distributed to such selling Lenders in accordance with their respective ratable shares. Interest and fees shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Term Lenders are received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) and interest and fees shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Term Lenders are received by Administrative Agent later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time). If, within 12 months after the consummation of the purchase, sale and assumption made pursuant to this Section 12.24, any Term Lender receives any Prepayment Premium solely and directly arising from the reduction or termination of Revolver Commitments in accordance with Section 4.04, then such Prepayment Premium shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the Revolving Agent, for the benefit of the selling Revolver Lenders, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not apply to any Prepayment Premium payable in respect of the Term Loans.

(d) Nature of Sale. The purchase and sale pursuant to this Section 12.24 shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the Revolving Lenders as to the Revolving Credit Obligations or otherwise and without recourse to the Revolving Lenders, except for representations and warranties as to the following made by each selling Lender severally (and not jointly): (i) the amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations being purchased from such selling Lender (including as to the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on such Revolving Credit Obligations, fees and expenses thereof), (ii) that such selling Lender owns the Revolving Credit Obligations held by it free and clear of any Liens created by it and (iii) such selling Lender has the full right and power to assign its Revolving Credit Obligations and such assignment has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by such selling Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein, each selling Revolving Lender shall retain all of their respective indemnification rights under the Credit Documents arising in respect of any act or omission that occurred on or before the date of such purchase and sale, and in furtherance of the foregoing, no amendment to such indemnification rights or their priority under any waterfall provision shall be amended, modified, waived or terminated without the consent of each affected selling Lender. In connection with any such exercise of the purchase option pursuant to this Section 12.24, the purchasing Term Lenders may amend the payment priority of all or any portion of the Revolving Loans and Revolver Commitments so purchased to remove the “super priority” provisions relating thereto and cause such purchased Revolving Loans and Revolver Commitments to be pari passu in right of payment with the Term Loans hereunder (it being understood that such purchased Revolving Loans and Revolver Commitments shall otherwise contain the same terms and provisions otherwise applicable to the existing Revolving Loans and Revolver Commitments). The Borrowers and the Lenders hereby agree that this Agreement may be amended without the consent of any Person to effect the foregoing changes.

(e) Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, the purchase option of the Term Lenders described in this Section 12.24 may be exercised by such Xxxx Xxxxxxx’ respective Affiliates who are Eligible Assignees hereunder.

SECTION 12.25 All Obligations to Constitute Joint and Several Obligations.

(a) All Obligations shall constitute joint and several obligations of the Credit Parties and shall be secured by the Collateral Agent’s Lien, for the benefit of the Lenders, upon

152

all of the Collateral, and by all other Liens heretofore, now or at any time hereafter granted by each Credit Party to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, to the extent provided in the Credit Documents under which such Lien arises. Each Credit Party expressly represents and acknowledges that it is part of a common enterprise with the other Credit Parties and that any financial accommodations by the Administrative Agent and the other members of the Lenders to any other Credit Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are and will be of direct and indirect interest, benefit and advantage to all Credit Parties. Each Credit Party acknowledges that any notice or request given by any Credit Party (including the Administrative Borrower) to the Administrative Agent shall bind all Credit Parties, and that any notice given by the Administrative Agent or any other member of the Lenders to any Credit Party shall be effective with respect to all Credit Parties. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that each Credit Party shall be liable, on a joint and several basis, for all of the Loan and other Obligations, regardless of which Credit Party actually may have received the proceeds of any of the Loan or other extensions of credit or the amount of such Loan received or the manner in which the Administrative Agent or any other member of the Lenders accounts among the Credit Parties for such Loan or other extensions of credit on its books and records, and further acknowledges and agrees that the Loan and other extensions of credit to any Credit Party inure to the mutual benefit of all of the Credit Parties and that the Administrative Agent and the other members of the Lenders is relying on the joint and several liability of the Credit Parties in extending the Loan and other financial accommodations hereunder. Each Credit Party shall be entitled to subrogation and contribution rights from and against the other Credit Party to the extent any Credit Party is required to pay to any member of the Lenders any amount in excess of the Loan advanced directly to, or other Obligations incurred directly by, such Credit Party or as otherwise available under Applicable Law; provided, however, that such subrogation and contribution rights are and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 12.25.

(b) In the event any Credit Party (a “Funding Credit Party”) shall make any payment or payments under this Agreement or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations hereunder, such Funding Credit Party shall have the right to seek contribution payments from each other Credit Party (each, a “Contributing Credit Party”) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Section 12.25(b) shall affect any Credit Party’s joint and several liability to the Lenders for the entire amount of its Obligations. Each Credit Party covenants and agrees that (i) its right to receive any contribution hereunder from a Contributing Credit Party shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all obligations of the Credit Parties to the Lenders hereunder and (ii) it shall not exercise any such contribution rights unless and until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash.

(c) Nothing in this Section 12.25 shall affect any Credit Party’s joint and several liability to the Lenders for the entire amount of its Obligations. Each Credit Party covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution hereunder from a contributing Credit Party shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder. No Credit Party will exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation hereunder or under any other Loan Document or at law by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, nor shall any Credit Party seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Credit Party in respect of payments made by such

153

Credit Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, until all amounts owing to the Lenders on account of the Obligations are paid in full in cash. If any amounts shall be paid to any Credit Party on account of such subrogation or contribution rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Credit Party in trust for the Lenders segregated from other funds of such Credit Party, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Credit Party, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Credit Party (duly endorsed by such Credit Party to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as provided for herein.

SECTION 12.26 Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Evolent as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrower Parties (the “Administrative Borrower”), which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed the Administrative Borrower. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide the Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to the Loan obtained for the benefit of any Credit Party and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain the Loan and to exercise such other powers as are incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.27 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (other than a Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof) (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative 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 Administrative 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 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 one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent in same day funds at the Defaulting Lender Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

154

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient 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 Administrative 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 (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i) an error may have been made (in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y)) or an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Payment Recipient shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof and that it is so notifying the Administrative pursuant to this Section 12.27(b).

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

(d) In the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (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”), upon the Administrative Agent’s request to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Administrative Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of

155

doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other 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 Administrative Agent from a Borrower, any other Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof for the purpose of discharging any Obligation.

(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 Administrative 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 12.27 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative 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 Credit Document.
