(c) Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five (5) Interest Periods in respect of Borrowings outstanding; provided, further, that Interest Periods for the Borrower that commence on the same day and that have the same duration shall be deemed to be one (1) interest period for the purpose of this Section 2.02(c).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. Each Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by “pdf” or similar electronic format, in the form of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower. Each such Borrowing Request must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of the Borrowing on the Closing Date, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), at least two (2) Business Days before the proposed Borrowing or (ii) otherwise, (A) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (B) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time), one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(a) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(b) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(d) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of a LIBOR Loan, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto; and

(e) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBOR Borrowing, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of three (3) months’ duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it to the Borrower hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to such account as is designated by the Borrower in its respective Borrowing Request.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.04 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.05 Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect, in the case of any Borrowing to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.05. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) Each interest election pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by “pdf” or similar electronic format, in the form of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower.

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an Base Rate Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election.

If any such Interest Election Request made by the Borrower requests a LIBOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of three (3) months’ duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing to a LIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period of three (3) months’ duration at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.06 Termination of Commitments. Any undrawn Commitments will terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date.

Section 2.07 Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.07 shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event of any conflict between the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.07, the entries made in the Register shall control.

(d) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to the Borrower be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including, to the extent requested by any assignee, after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein (or to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.08 Repayment of Loans; Application of Prepayments. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan made to the Borrower on such dates and in such amounts as provided in this Section 2.08. Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.08, (i) the Borrower shall repay on each Quarterly Date an aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans drawn on the Closing Date (each a “Scheduled Amortization Payment”) and (ii) the Borrower shall repay on the Maturity Date all remaining amounts of the Loans then outstanding. All payments under this Section 2.08(a) shall be allocated to the Lenders on a pro rata basis.

(b) To the extent not previously paid, all Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

(c) Prepayment of the Loans (i) pursuant to Section 2.09(b), shall be applied to Scheduled Amortization Payments and the remaining unpaid principal amount of Loans due and payable on the Maturity Date in the inverse order of maturity, (ii) pursuant to Section 2.09(c), shall be applied, first, in direct order of maturity to all Scheduled Amortization Payments in respect of the Loans due on the immediately succeeding four (4) Quarterly Dates from the date of such prepayment, second, to the remaining Scheduled Amortization Payments in respect of the Loans and the remaining unpaid principal amount of Loans due and payable on the Maturity Date in the inverse order of maturity, and (iii) from any optional prepayments pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be applied to the remaining Scheduled Amortization Payments in respect of the Loans as directed by the Borrower and thereafter to the remaining unpaid principal amount of Loans due and payable on the Maturity Date, and all such payments pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be allocated ratably to the Lenders.

(d) Prior to any repayment of any Borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by “pdf” or similar electronic format, in the form of a written Prepayment Notice signed by the Borrower. Such Prepayment Notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) (i) in the case of an Base Rate Borrowing, one (1) Business Day before the scheduled date of such repayment and (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, three (3) Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be allocated ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing.

Section 2.09 Optional and Mandatory Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Loans in whole or in part (but subject to Section 2.14 and Section 2.09(d)), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of U.S. $1.0 million and not less than U.S. $1.0 million or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in the form of Exhibit B hereto provided in accordance with Section 2.08(d).

(b) The Borrower shall apply all Net Proceeds promptly upon (and in any event within three (3) Business Days of) receipt thereof by any of the Loan Parties to prepay Loans made to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.08(c).

(c) Not later than five (5) Business Days after each Quarterly Date occurring in April and October of each calendar year, commencing April 15, 2014, the Borrower shall apply Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period most recently ended on such Quarterly Date to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08(c) (the date of such payment, the “ECF Sweep Date”) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period (as calculated and certified by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.04(e)).

(d) In the event that a Repricing Event is consummated in connection with all or any portion of the Loans on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders a non-refundable fee equal to (i) 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans prepaid, converted or assigned in connection with such Repricing Event if such Repricing Event occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans prepaid, converted or assigned in connection with such Repricing Event if such Repricing Event occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

Section 2.10 Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the administrative fees set forth in the applicable Fee Letter at the times specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent, for the account of the Collateral Agent, and to the Depositary Bank, for the account of the Depositary Bank, the fees and other amounts set forth in the Fee Letters between the Borrower and the Collateral Agent and Depositary Bank, respectively, at the times specified therein.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date such fees as are set forth in the Engagement Letter and the Fee Letters and expressly provided therein as being due and payable on the Closing Date (which fees shall be non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter).

(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.11 Interest. (a) The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan made to the Borrower at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan made to the Borrower at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such LIBOR Loan plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, then the Borrower shall pay interest on such overdue amount, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.11 or (y) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.11.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable by the Borrower from and after the Closing Date in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, and on the Maturity Date; provided that (x) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.11 shall be payable on demand, (y) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an Base Rate Loan prior to its stated maturity (unless all Loans are being repaid)), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (z) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent taking into account the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable (including the first day but excluding the last day) pursuant to this Section 2.11, and (i) if based on the Base Rate as calculated based on the Prime Rate, a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be; or (ii) if based on the Base Rate (other than as calculated based on the Prime Rate) or the LIBO Rate, on the basis of a year of 360 days.

Section 2.12 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (acting in good faith) that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

(c) then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to an Base Rate Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 2.13 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or participation therein (including any Tax, cost or expense) (except, in each case, for (x) Indemnified Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 2.15, (y) Excluded Taxes and (z) Other Taxes);

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

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.14 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a LIBOR Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in U.S. Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.15 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except to the extent required by applicable law. If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required by applicable law to be deducted from any such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15), each Agent or Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes been made, (ii) such Loan Party or the applicable withholding agent, if required to deduct any such Taxes, shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party or the applicable withholding agent, if required to deduct any such Taxes, shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) and any reasonable expenses

arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that a certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation for such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty), W-8EXP, W-8IMY (together with any required attachments) or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a 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,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit I and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender (with any other required forms attached) claiming complete exemption from or a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, claiming complete exemption (or otherwise establishing an exemption) from U.S. backup withholding on all payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender, to the extent it may lawfully do so, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Lender, to the extent it may lawfully do so, shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or inaccuracy of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Without limiting the foregoing, any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax otherwise indemnified against by a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.15 with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower or the relevant Governmental Authority (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to permit such payments to be made without such withholding tax or at a reduced rate; provided that in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice such Lender. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; provided that in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice such Lender.

(f) If an Agent or a Lender determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan

Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by such Agent or such Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph (f) shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event shall any Agent or Lender be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place such Agent or Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification, or with respect to which additional amounts were paid, and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to the Tax had never been paid.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(e) or 2.15(g) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “applicable law” shall include FATCA.

Section 2.16 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly

following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or of other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim, through the application of any proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or 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 permitted pursuant to Section 9.04. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or 2.16(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any

contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a)(x) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, (y) if any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or (z) if any Lender exercises its rights under Section 2.18, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as applicable, in the future, or would eliminate such Lender’s need to exercise its rights under Section 2.18, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender exercises its rights under Section 2.18, then the Borrower may, at the Borrower’s sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.17 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Loan Party may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected or all of the Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that, (i) all Obligations of the Borrower due and payable to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, (including any such Obligation pursuant to Section 2.09(d)), (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 and (iii) the replacement Lender shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver, consent, discharge or termination or provides such consent concurrently with such assignment. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises the Borrower’s option hereunder to cause an

assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 9.04. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice, such assignment shall be deemed to have occurred on such Business Day without such Lender’s execution and delivery of any documentation required pursuant to Section 9.04.

(d) A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation under this Section 2.17, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment cease to apply.

Section 2.18 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any LIBOR Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Borrowings to LIBOR Borrowings, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all such LIBOR Borrowings of such Lender to Base Rate Borrowings on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 2.19 Depositary Accounts.

(a) Establishment of Accounts. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall establish the following deposit accounts (the “Depositary Accounts”), with the Depositary Bank, in each case, subject to fully perfected first priority security interest and Control Agreement in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the Obligations:

(i) a U.S. Dollar-denominated account in the name of the Borrower entitled “ExGen Renewables I – Revenue Account” and numbered 107488-000 (the “Revenue Account”);

(ii) a U.S. Dollar-denominated account in the name of the Borrower entitled “ExGen Renewables I – Equity Proceeds Account” and numbered 107488-001 (the “Equity Proceeds Account”); and

(iii) a U.S. Dollar-denominated account in the name of the Borrower entitled “ExGen Renewables I – Debt Service Reserve Account” and numbered 107488-002 (the “Debt Service Reserve Account”).

All amounts on deposit in or credited to each Depositary Account from time to time shall (i) be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) constitute the property of the Borrower, (iii) be subject to the first priority Lien of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), (iv) be held in the sole custody and “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d) or Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the Collateral Agent for the purposes and on the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Security Documents and (v) constitute a part of the Collateral. No amounts on deposit in or credited to the Depositary Accounts from time to time shall constitute payment of any Obligations or any other obligation of any Loan Party.

(b) Deposits into Accounts.

(i) Revenue Account. All Cash and Cash Equivalents (including all Available Cash and any proceeds received by the Loan Parties as a result of the exercise of Cure Rights pursuant to Section 7.02) of each of the Loan Parties, all amounts required to be transferred to the Revenue Account from any other Depositary Accounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all other amounts received by the Loan Parties on or after the Closing Date and not required to be deposited to another Depositary Account pursuant to this Agreement shall be deposited as and when received (without regard to whether the current fiscal period in which they arise has closed) directly to, and shall be retained in, the Revenue Account, subject to application in accordance with Section 2.19(c), other than Cash and Cash Equivalents required to be deposited (or on deposit) in the Debt Service Reserve Account pursuant to Section 2.19(d) and any Equity Proceeds deposited in the Equity Proceeds Account.

(ii) Equity Proceeds Account. The Loan Parties may deposit in the Equity Proceeds Account as and when received any Equity Proceeds, as determined by the Borrower (and any Equity Proceeds not so deposited shall be deposited into the Revenue Account).

(c) Withdrawals from the Revenue Account. Amounts in the Revenue Account shall be disbursed (A) by the Depositary Bank as directed by the Borrower (which disbursement shall be described in a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank at least (1) five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable funding date, in the case of any Withdrawal Certificate that includes transfers for the payment of Debt Service pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) below; (2) in any other case, other than with respect to transfers pursuant to clause (vi) below, three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable funding date; or (3) in the case of any transfer with respect to clause (vi) below, no later than two (2) Business Days after the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period detailing the amounts and Persons to be paid in accordance with the following clauses (i) through (vi) and in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit K (such certificate, a “Withdrawal Certificate”)) (via wire transfer or by internal transfer between Depositary Accounts, if applicable), to the extent that funds are then available in the Revenue Account, in the following order of priority, or (B) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, from time to time as the Administrative Agent shall direct, to be applied against the Obligations of the Borrower that are then due and payable to the Agents, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, in the order of priority set forth below or (C) if the Borrower fails to deliver a Withdrawal Certificate pursuant to this Section 2.19(c) on any date on which any amounts described in this Section 2.19(c) are due and payable to the Secured Parties, as the Administrative Agent may direct (with one Business Day’s advance notice thereof and a copy of such Withdrawal Certificate to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent) in the order of priority set forth below:

(i) first, from time to time as necessary to pay as and when due Operating Expenses (provided that any such payments to Affiliates shall be in compliance with Section 6.07), including expenses, indemnity payments and other amounts (including reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel of any Agent) payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank, in their capacities as such (but excluding any amounts payable pursuant to clause (iv) below), and Fees, that have become due and payable and have not yet been paid, as set forth in the applicable Withdrawal Certificate (or, if applicable, direction from the Administrative Agent);

(vi) sixth, after giving effect to the withdrawals pursuant to clauses (i) through (v) above, on each ECF Sweep Date, an amount necessary to pay as and when due all mandatory prepayments of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(c), together with all interest then due thereon, as set forth in the applicable Withdrawal Certificate (or, if applicable, direction from the Administrative Agent).

If funds being disbursed at any time pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above are insufficient on any date to make the transfers and payments specified in the applicable Withdrawal Certificate, then the amounts in the Revenue Account at such level at such time shall be transferred to the Persons entitled thereto pro rata based on the respective amounts then due and payable to such Persons.

(d) Debt Service Reserve Account.

(i) Deposits into the Debt Service Reserve Account. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall Fully Fund the Debt Service Reserve Account up to the DSR Requirement Amount as of the Closing Date with a DSR Guaranty. Thereafter, on each date referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall Fully Fund the Debt Service Reserve Account with, to the extent available, (x) cash withdrawals from the Revenue Account permitted under Section 2.19(c)(v) and/or (y) one or more additional DSR Guarantees (or supplements to existing DSR Guarantees) and/or DSR Letters of Credit. Immediately prior to each Quarterly Date and on each ECF Sweep Date (prior to the application of such mandatory prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.09(c)) after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Debt Service Reserve Account an aggregate amount (the “DSR Increase Payment”) equal to no less than the amount necessary (if any) to Fully Fund the Debt Service Reserve Account as of such date; provided, that if such aggregate amount then available from the Revenue Account is

less than the DSR Increase Payment, the full amount of such available amounts on deposit in the Revenue Account shall be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account, it being understood that the failure to fund the full DSR Increase Payment in accordance with this proviso shall not be deemed a Default or Event of Default hereunder.

(ii) Drawings under DSR Guarantees and DSR Letters of Credit. Amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account may be funded from time to time by any DSR Guaranty or DSR Letter of Credit, and the Collateral Agent shall make a demand for payment under any DSR Guaranty or drawing upon any DSR Letter of Credit if:

(A) In the case of a DSR Guaranty, the guarantor under such DSR Guaranty is not an Acceptable Guarantor and thirty (30) or more days have elapsed since such guarantor ceased to be an Acceptable Guarantor and such DSR Guaranty has not been replaced (with another DSR Guaranty, a DSR Letter of Credit or cash); or

(B) In the case of a DSR Letter of Credit, (1) the issuer of such DSR Letter of Credit is not an Acceptable LC Issuer and thirty (30) or more days have elapsed since such issuer ceased to be an Acceptable LC Issuer and such DSR Letter of Credit has not been replaced (with another DSR Letter of Credit or cash); or (2) such DSR Letter of Credit will expire within thirty (30) days and either (x) the Collateral Agent has received a notice from the issuer thereof that such DSR Letter of Credit will not be renewed in accordance with its terms or (y) the Collateral Agent has not received written evidence from the issuer thereof or the Borrower that such DSR Letter of Credit will be extended or replaced (with another DSR Letter of Credit, a DSR Guaranty or cash) upon or prior to its stated expiration date.

Upon obtaining knowledge thereof, the Borrower shall provide prompt written notice to the Collateral Agent if any guarantor under a DSR Guaranty is not an Acceptable Guarantor or whether any issuer of a DSR Letter of Credit is not an Acceptable Credit Provider. Any such demand under a DSR Guaranty shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the DSR Requirement Amount at such time minus the sum of (x) the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account at such time and (y) the remaining Drawing Amounts of any DSR Letters of Credit (to the extent such DSR Letters of Credit are issued by an Acceptable LC Issuer and will not expire within thirty (30) days (unless the issuing bank or the Borrower has provided written evidence to the Collateral Agent that any such DSR Letter of Credit will be extended or replaced upon or prior to its stated expiration date)) and the guaranteed amount then available for demand under any other DSR Guarantees (to the extent any such DSR Guaranty is issued by an Acceptable Guarantor, has not been terminated and no payment defaults have occurred thereunder) and (2) if applicable, the remaining guaranteed amount then available for demand under such DSR Guaranty, and the proceeds of such demand shall be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Accounts by the Collateral Agent. Any such drawing under a DSR Letter of Credit shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the DSR Requirement Amount at such time minus the sum of (x) the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account at such time and (y) the remaining Drawing Amounts of any other DSR Letters of Credit (to the extent such DSR Letters of Credit are issued by an Acceptable LC Issuer and will not expire within thirty (30) days (unless the issuing bank or the Borrower has provided written evidence to the Collateral Agent that any such DSR Letter of Credit will be extended or replaced upon or prior to its stated expiration date)) and the guaranteed amount then available for demand under any DSR Guarantees (to the extent any such DSR Guaranty is issued by an Acceptable Guarantor, has not been terminated and no payment defaults have occurred thereunder) and (2) the remaining Drawing Amount under such DSR Letter of Credit, and the proceeds of such drawing shall be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account by the Collateral Agent.

(iii) Disbursements of Excess Amounts from the Debt Service Reserve Accounts; Reductions in DSR Letters of Credit and DSR Guarantees.

(A) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time that the sum of the aggregate Drawing Amounts under all DSR Letters of Credit held by the Collateral Agent (to the extent such DSR Letters of Credit are issued by an Acceptable LC Issuer and will not expire within thirty (30) days (unless the issuing bank or the Borrower has provided written evidence to the Collateral Agent that any such DSR Letter of Credit will be extended or replaced upon or prior to its stated expiration date)) plus the aggregate guaranteed amount then available for demand under any DSR Guarantees held by the Collateral Agent (to the extent such DSR Guarantees are issued by an Acceptable Guarantor, has not been terminated and no payment defaults have occurred thereunder) plus the funds then on deposit in or credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account is greater than the DSR Requirement Amount as of such date (in each case, an “Excess Reserve Amount”), as specified in a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), certifying as to the amount of such Excess Reserve Amount, the Borrower shall be entitled pursuant to a Withdrawal Certificate to (1) transfer or cause to be transferred an amount of funds up to the Excess Reserve Amount from the Debt Service Reserve Account to the Revenue Account and (2) then, if any Excess Reserve Amount remains after giving effect to clause (1), the Borrower shall be entitled to deliver to the Collateral Agent for countersignature (in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion), and shall thereafter deliver to the issuer of any DSR Letter of Credit, a reduction certificate in the form attached to such DSR Letter of Credit or otherwise in a form satisfactory to such issuer in the amount of such remaining Excess Reserve Amount, and the face amount of such DSR Letter of Credit may be reduced as provided in such certificate; provided that if any DSR Guaranty is then also credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account, such DSR Guaranty shall be reduced pursuant to a supplement provided under such DSR Guaranty or documentation otherwise satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) for such remaining Excess Reserve Amount prior to the reduction of any DSR Letter of Credit.

(B) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall be entitled to instruct the Depositary Bank to release funds from the Debt Service Reserve Account pursuant to a written request from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (certifying as to no Event of Default), with a copy to the Administrative Agent, in the event that the Borrower has provided to the Collateral Agent a DSR Guaranty or a DSR Letter of Credit in a guaranteed or stated amount equal to the amount of funds to be released from the Debt Service Reserve Account and amounts so released shall be transferred to the Revenue Account for application in accordance with the Loan Documents. Such DSR Guaranty and DSR Letter of Credit shall be subject to all of the terms of this Section 2.19(d).

(C) The Borrower may at any time deliver Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or one or more DSR Letters of Credit to the Depositary Agent for deposit in or credit to the Debt Service Reserve Account and upon delivery thereof, shall be entitled, (pursuant to a written request from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the applicable guarantor and the Collateral Agent, certifying that such reduction is in compliance with this

clause (C), with a copy to the Administrative Agent) to a reduction in the then available guaranteed amount under any DSR Guaranty pursuant to a supplement provided under such DSR Guaranty or documentation otherwise satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in the face or stated amount equal to the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or DSR Letters of Credit to be deposited in or credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account. Any such reduction shall only be effective upon actual receipt by the Depositary Agent of the replacement Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or one or more DSR Letters of Credit.

(D) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the guaranteed amount of any DSR Guaranty or the stated amount of any DSR Letter of Credit be permitted to be reduced other than in connection with Section 2.19(d)(iii)(A) or 2.19(d)(iii)(C) or in connection with a cash payment made pursuant to any demand or draw, as applicable, thereunder paid to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms thereof.

(iv) Disbursements to Pay Debt Service. To the extent disbursements from the Revenue Account or other funds available to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties are not anticipated to be or are not adequate to pay (x) all interest and Fees due and payable to the Agents and the Lenders under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or (y) all principal or premium (if any) due and payable to the Lenders under or in respect of the Loan Documents (any such shortfall, a “Debt Payment Deficiency”), then:

(A) the Depositary Bank (at the written direction of (I) the Borrower pursuant to a Withdrawal Certificate or (II) if the Borrower has not so delivered such Withdrawal Certificate by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date on which such amounts are due and not paid, the Administrative Agent) shall withdraw from the Debt Service Reserve Account and immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent cash in an aggregate amount equal to the Debt Payment Deficiency (or, if less, the aggregate amount of funds then on deposit in or credited to the Debt Service Reserve Accounts) for application (1) first, to that portion of the Debt Payment Deficiency that relates to amounts due in clause (x) above and (2) second, to that portion of the Debt Payment Deficiency that relates to amounts due in clause (y) above, in accordance with the Loan Documents, and if such funds are insufficient to meet the Debt Payment Deficiency, then

(B) after giving effect to clause (A), to the extent any Debt Payment Deficiency remains outstanding, the Depositary Bank shall promptly so notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall (I) first, if any DSR Guaranty is then in effect, make a demand under such DSR Guaranty in an amount equal to the remaining Debt Payment Deficiency (or, if less, the full available guaranteed amount under such DSR Guaranty) and immediately transfer the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent and (II) second, to the extent any Debt Payment Deficiency remains outstanding, if any DSR Letter of Credit is then in effect, make a drawing on such DSR Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the remaining Debt Payment Deficiency (or, if less, the Drawing Amount under such DSR Letter of Credit) and immediately transfer the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall apply such proceeds (1) first, to that portion of the Debt Payment Deficiency that relates to amounts due in clause (x) above and (2) second, to that portion of the Debt Payment Deficiency that relates to amounts due in clause (y) above, in accordance with the Loan Documents.

(e) Equity Proceeds Account. To the extent any Loan Party received Equity Proceeds, such Equity Proceeds may be deposited into the Equity Proceeds Account. The Borrower shall be permitted to transfer Cash and Cash Equivalents on deposit in or credited to the Equity Proceeds Account at any time pursuant to a Withdrawal Certificate delivered to the Depositary Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to an account (which may be any Depositary Account) or Person as directed by the Borrower in such Withdrawal Certificate, which funds may be applied for any purpose permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(f) Receipt of Certain Funds; Unidentified Funds. If any Agent or Lender receives directly any amount that is payable to a Depositary Account (due to such amount not being paid directly to the applicable Depositary Account), such Person shall deposit or cause to be deposited such amount into the applicable Depositary Account, and the obligation of the Loan Parties to deposit such amount into such Depositary Account shall be deemed satisfied upon such deposit. If the Depositary Bank receives directly any amount that is not sufficiently identified or is not accompanied with adequate instructions as to which Depositary Account such amount is to be deposited, the Depositary Bank shall deposit such funds into the Revenue Account, and notify the Borrower and each Agent of the receipt of such funds. Upon receipt of written instructions from the Borrower (as confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent), the Depositary Bank shall transfer such funds from the Revenue Account to the Depositary Account specified by such instructions.

Section 2.20 Incremental Revolving Facility and Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, on one occasion, request a revolving facility (including, if desired, but without duplication, letter of credit capacity) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25,000,000 (the “Revolving Facility”), to be used solely for working capital requirements, letter of credit capacity and other general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties. Upon the receipt of such request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Lender. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested Revolving Facility, which shall be in a minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000, and the date on which such Revolving Facility is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 15 days nor more than 90 days after the date of such notice, which in any event must be prior to the Maturity Date), and shall offer each Lender the opportunity to participate by its applicable pro rata share of the proposed Revolving Facility, provided that any Agent or Lender may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a commitment in respect of the Revolving Facility.

(b) Each Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of the Administrative Agent’s notice described in clause (a) above is delivered to such Lender, either agree to issue a commitment for all or a portion of the offered amount (each agreeing Lender, a “Participating Revolving Lender”) or decline to issue a commitment (and any Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to provide a commitment) (each declining or deemed declining Lender, a “Non- Participating Revolving Lender”).

(c) In the event that, on the 15^th day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (b), the Participating Revolving Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to provide commitments by an aggregate amount less than the amount requested by the Borrower, the Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (each such bank or other entity, a “New Revolving Lender” and together with the Participating Revolving Lender, the “Revolving Lenders”), which may include any Lender or Agent, to issue commitments under the requested Revolving Facility, in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided, however, that each New Revolving Lender that is not a Lender shall be subject to the

prior written approval of the Administrative Agent and, if such Revolving Facility is to include a letter of credit facility, each issuing bank thereunder (each, a “Revolving Issuing Bank”) (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Borrower and each New Revolving Lender and Revolving Issuing Bank shall execute all such documentation (including a joinder agreement, if applicable) as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its commitments under the requested Revolving Facility and/or its status as a “Lender” or issuing bank under such Revolving Facility hereunder and shall share pro rata in the Collateral as a Secured Party. Any Revolving Facility may be made in an amount that is less than the amount requested by the Borrower if the Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, New Revolving Lenders, but in no event less than $10,000,000.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Revolving Facility shall become effective under this Section 2.20 unless:

(i) on the date of such incurrence, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist after giving effect to such Revolving Facility;

(ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such incurrence with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided, that, in each case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that are already qualified or modified by “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language in the text thereof;

(iii) the final maturity date of such Revolving Facility shall be no later than the Maturity Date;

For purposes of Section 7.01(a), each of the representations and warranties contained in clauses (i), (iv) and (vi) of this Section 3.15 that are qualified by the knowledge of any of the Loan Parties shall be deemed not to be so qualified. Representations and warranties of the Loan Parties with respect to environmental matters are limited to those in this Section 3.15 unless expressly stated.

Section 3.16 Solvency. (a) On the Closing Date, immediately after giving effect to the Transactions, the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis with their Subsidiaries, are Solvent.

All material payments due from any Loan Party or for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the applicable Loan Party to the extent required by GAAP.

Section 3.18 Status as Senior Debt; Perfection of Security Interests. The Obligations of the Borrower shall rank pari passu with any other senior Indebtedness or securities of the Borrower and shall constitute senior indebtedness of the Borrower under and as defined in any documentation documenting any junior indebtedness of the Borrower. Each Security Document delivered pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 5.10 will, upon execution and delivery thereof, be effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein. When financing statements and other filings specified therein in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified therein, Control Agreements are entered into covering each Depositary Account and the Pledged Collateral that is certificated is delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Liens created by the Security Documents on such Collateral shall constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, subject, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Collateral, to Prior Liens, and in the case of Pledged Collateral, to Liens arising (and that have priority) by operation of law.

To the knowledge of the Borrower, (a) no “Default” or “Event of Default” or similar term (as used in the Continental Wind Bond Documents or Material Other Indebtedness Documents, as applicable) has occurred and is continuing under any of the Continental Wind Bond Documents or Material Other Indebtedness Documents and (b) no “Default” or “Event of Default” or equivalent event or circumstance defined by a similar term (as used in the Major Revenue Contracts) has occurred and is continuing under any of the Major Revenue Contracts other than, in the case of this clause (b), any such Default or Event of

Default or equivalent event or circumstance which would not reasonably be expected to give rise to a termination of such agreement or otherwise have, individually or in the aggregate, be materially adverse to the Lenders.

Section 3.20 Insurance. The Loan Parties have purchased or provided (or caused to be purchased or provided) and are maintaining (or causing to be maintained), with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance with respect to their respective properties and business against such risks (including with such deductibles, retentions and exclusions), including fire and other risks insured against by extended coverage, and loss or damage, in each case of the kinds customarily insured against by projects of a similar size in the same or similar business, and of such types and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons and in accordance in all material respects with their respective applicable contractual obligations.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10, 8.11 and 9.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10, 8.11 and 9.05.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 8.10 Collateral and Guarantee Matters. Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to release Guarantees, Liens and security interests

created by the Loan Documents in accordance with Section 9.18. Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, at any time, each Lender will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority provided for in the previous sentence.

Section 8.11 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Depositary Bank and the Collateral Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitments hereunder (or if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of its outstanding Loans)) of any reasonable expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Depositary Bank or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, including reasonable and documented counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders which shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower (and without limiting the Borrower’s obligations to reimburse such amounts to the extent set forth in Section 9.05) and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Depositary Bank, the Collateral Agent and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, Taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as Administrative Agent, the Depositary Bank or Collateral Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower (and without limiting the Borrower’s obligations to reimburse such amounts to the extent set forth in Section 9.05); provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent, the Depositary Bank or the Collateral Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary Bank or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, as applicable; provided, further, that it is understood and agreed that any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary Bank or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or any other appropriate group of Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08 shall not be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of the immediately preceding proviso.

Section 8.12 Withholding. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including reasonable and documented legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.13. The agreements in this Section 8.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

Section 8.13 Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.01 and the Security Documents for the benefit of all the Lenders or Secured Parties, as applicable; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.06 (subject to the terms of Section 2.16(c)), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law; provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.01 and the Security Documents, as applicable and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.16(c), any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Section 8.14 Additional Depositary Bank Provisions.

(b) The Depositary Bank shall exercise the same degree of care in administering the funds held on deposit in the Depositary Accounts and the investments purchased with such funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as the Depositary Bank exercises in the ordinary course of its day-to-day business in administering other funds and investments as required by applicable law. The Depositary Bank shall perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with generally accepted banking industry standards. The Depositary Bank is not party to and shall not execute and deliver, or otherwise become bound by, any agreement under which the Depositary Bank agrees with any Person other than the Collateral Agent to comply with entitlement orders or instructions originated by such Person relating to any of the Depositary Accounts or the security entitlements that are the subject of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in Section 8.14(c), the Depositary Bank shall not grant any Lien on any Financial Asset, other than any Lien granted to the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) under the Security Documents and shall, if such a Lien is nevertheless created by the Depositary Bank, cause the prompt release or discharge of the same. The Depositary Bank may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, legal counsel, custodians or nominees appointed with due care; provided that (i) the Depositary Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Depositary Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Independent Engineer and each other Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Depositary Bank in connection with the Depositary Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and any rights of the Depositary Bank under the other Loan Documents. Neither the Depositary Bank nor any of its officers,

directors, employees, agents or sub-agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted under this Agreement or in connection therewith except to the extent caused by the Depositary Bank’s or their gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided that the Depositary Bank shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent appointed by it with due care. The Depositary Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless the Depositary Bank shall have received written notice thereof. The rights, privileges, protections and benefits given to the Depositary Bank, including its rights to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Depositary Bank in its capacity hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed by the Depositary Bank in accordance herewith to act hereunder. In no event shall the Depositary Bank be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Depositary Bank has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(c) In the event that the Depositary Bank has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a Lien on any Depositary Account, the Depositary Bank agrees that such Lien shall (except to the extent provided in the next sentence) be subordinate to any Lien of the Collateral Agent. The Financial Assets or funds standing to the credit of the Depositary Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, counter-claim, banker’s lien or any other right in favor of the Depositary Bank or any Person other than the Collateral Agent and, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Loan Parties (except to the extent of returned items and charge-backs either for uncollected checks or other items of payment and transfers previously credited to one or more of the Depositary Accounts, and the Loan Parties and the Collateral Agent hereby authorize the Depositary Bank to debit the applicable Depositary Accounts for such amounts).

(d) The Depositary Bank is hereby authorized to obey and comply with all writs, orders, judgments or decrees issued by any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction affecting any monies, documents or other Property held by the Depositary Bank. The Depositary Bank shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or any of the Secured Parties or their successors, heirs or personal representatives by reason of the Depositary Bank’s compliance with such writs, orders, judgments or decrees, notwithstanding such writ, order, judgment or decree is later reversed, modified, set aside or vacated.

(e) The Depositary Bank shall not be (i) required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceeding hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (ii) responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or in connection with any other Loan Document (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct). Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, the Depositary Bank shall take action under this Agreement only as it shall be directed in writing. The Depositary Bank shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Agreement from the applicable Agent, the Loan Parties or any court of competent jurisdiction. The Depositary Bank shall have no obligation to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder. The Depositary Bank shall not be responsible or liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of the Depositary Bank, any loss which may result from any investment made pursuant to this Agreement or for any loss resulting from the sale of such investment, unless it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Depositary Bank was grossly negligent or acting with willful misconduct in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Loan Parties shall not assert, and the Loan Parties hereby waives, any claim against the Depositary Bank and its Affiliates and the officers, partners, members, shareholders, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents or sub-agents of the Depositary Bank or its Affiliates, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages

(as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable law) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and the Loan Parties hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(g) The Depositary Bank shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral.

(h) Whenever in the administration of this Agreement the Depositary Bank shall deem it necessary or desirable that a factual or legal matter be proved or established in connection with the Depositary Bank taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved or established by a certificate of an Responsible Officer or a certificate of a senior officer of the applicable Agent, if appropriate, or from a legal opinion from counsel to the Loan Parties. The Depositary Bank shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Agreement from the applicable Agent, the Loan Parties or any court of competent jurisdiction. The Depositary Bank shall have no obligation to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder. The Depositary Bank shall not be responsible or liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of the Depositary Bank, any loss which may result from any investment made pursuant to this Agreement or for any loss resulting from the sale of such investment, unless it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Depositary Bank was grossly negligent or acting with willful misconduct in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

Section 8.15 Cash Equivalent Investments in Depositary Accounts.

(a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Borrower and subject to Section 8.18, all cash deposited in the Depositary Accounts that are “securities accounts” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC) shall be invested by the Depositary Bank in Cash and Cash Equivalents as specifically directed in writing by the Borrower; provided that, if the Borrower fails to so direct the Depositary Bank, then such amounts held in the Depositary Accounts shall be invested and reinvested in Cash and Cash Equivalents as selected by the Borrower in advance (which may be in the form of a standing instruction) or, if the Borrower fails to select any Cash and Cash Equivalents in advance or the Depositary Bank is not able to determine whether a selection has been made in advance or is in effect, then such amounts shall be invested and reinvested in cash. Such investments will mature in such amounts and not later than such times as may be necessary to provide funds when needed to make payments from such funds as provided in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, net interest or gain received, if any, from such Cash and Cash Equivalents shall be deposited into the Revenue Account; provided that net interest or gain received, if any, from Cash and Cash Equivalents made with cash on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be deposited into Debt Service Reserve Account until the Debt Service Reserve Account is Fully Funded (as each such reserve requirement shall be certified to the Depositary Bank by the Borrower prior to any such deposit), and any release therefrom shall be subject to Section 2.19(d). Any loss shall be charged to the applicable Depositary Account. The Depositary Bank shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment made pursuant to this Agreement, or for any loss resulting from the sale of any such investment.

(b) In the event that at any time amounts are funded into a Depositary Account after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, the Depositary Bank shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest such amounts until the next Business Day.

(c) If and when cash is required for the making of any withdrawal or transfer in accordance with this Agreement (it being understood that cash shall not be required for any transfer between Depositary Accounts unless Cash and Cash Equivalents do not exist in the Depositary Account from which funds are being transferred in appropriate amounts in order to permit such transfer), the Borrower shall cause Cash and Cash Equivalents to be sold or otherwise liquidated into cash (without regard to maturity) as and to the extent necessary in order to make such withdrawals or transfers. Subject to the applicable Control Agreement and Section 8.18, the Depositary Bank shall comply with any instruction from the Borrower with respect to any such liquidation of Cash and Cash Equivalents. In the event any such investments are so redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, neither the Depositary Bank nor any other Secured Party shall be liable for any loss or penalties relating thereto.

(d) For purposes of determining responsibility for any income Taxes payable on account of any income or gain on any Cash and Cash Equivalents hereunder, such income or gain shall be for the account of the Borrower. The Borrower shall provide the Depositary Bank with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate forms W-8 or W-9 and such other forms and documents that the Depositary Bank may reasonably request.

Section 8.16 Depositary Account Balance Statements. The Depositary Bank shall, on a monthly basis within seven days after the end of each calendar month and at such other times as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Borrower may from time to time reasonably request in writing, provide to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower fund balance statements in respect of each of the Depositary Accounts, sub-accounts and amounts segregated in any of the Depositary Accounts; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by the Borrower, the Depositary Bank shall provide the Borrower with internet access to fund balance statements and account activity summaries. Such balance statements and account activity summaries shall also include deposits, withdrawals and transfers from and to any Depositary Account and sub-accounts and the net investment income or gain received and collected in such Depositary Account and sub-account. The Depositary Bank shall retain records of all receipts, disbursements and investments of funds with respect to the Depositary Accounts until the third anniversary of the Discharge of the Obligations. The Depositary Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower of its receipt and the amount of any funds received from any Person that are, or are required hereunder to be, deposited into any Depositary Account, specifying the Depositary Account into which such funds have been deposited.

Section 8.17 Application of Funds in Depositary Accounts upon Event of Default. On and after any date on which the Depositary Bank receives written notice from the Collateral Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that the Collateral Agent is exercising its rights, on behalf of the Secured Parties, with respect to one or more of the Depositary Accounts pursuant to a direction by Required Lenders, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositary Bank shall thereafter accept all notices and instructions required or permitted to be given to the Depositary Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement only from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and not from the Borrower or any other Person, and the Depositary Bank shall not withdraw, transfer, pay or otherwise disburse any amounts in any of the Depositary Accounts except pursuant to such notices and instructions from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, unless such Event of Default no longer exists due to such Event of Default having been waived, cured or no longer existing, or having been deemed waived, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents (as confirmed in writing to the Depositary Bank by the Collateral Agent), in which event the terms of this Section 8.18

shall thereafter be inapplicable to such Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to any date on which the Depositary Bank receives notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing from the Collateral Agent, the Depositary Agent shall continue to apply amounts pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04), the Lenders, the Agents and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders, and the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement:

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 9.04(b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees that are Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of a Loan to a Person that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

(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, an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least U.S. $1.0 million in the aggregate, the amount of the Commitment and/or Loans, as applicable, of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than U.S. $1.0 million and increments of U.S. $1.0 million in excess thereof unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under paragraph (b), (c), (i) or (j) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of the Term Loan Facility under this Agreement;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any other administrative information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request;

(E) no such assignment shall be made to (x) a Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender or (y) the Borrower or any of the other Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, other than any such Person (other than a Loan Party) in accordance with Section 9.04(e);

(F) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such assignment shall be made to a natural person; and

(G) each Lender agrees that it shall not assign any Loans of the Borrower hereunder unless such Lender assigns an equal pro rata portion of the Loans of the other Borrower held by such Lender to the applicable assignee.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, 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 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.05 with respect to the period that such Lender held Loans). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall not be effective as an assignment hereunder.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice (but only, in the case of a Lender, at the Administrative Agent’s Office and with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Commitments, Loans, and other Obligations).

(v) The assignor or assignee(s) to each assignment shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee in the amount of U.S. $3,500 (which shall be limited to one processing and recordation fee for each assignment to or between Approved Funds); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. Upon its receipt (or waiver) of the processing and recording fee described in the preceding sentence, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, any administrative information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any of the Borrower or its respective Affiliates) (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 Commitment 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, (C) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) such Lender shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (solely for tax purposes), maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans (or other rights or obligations under the Loan Documents) held by it under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), which entries 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 notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to exercise rights under and to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment,

modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) 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 Section 9.04(a)(i) or clause (i) through (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement (oral or written) in respect of the foregoing with respect to such Participant may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits (and subject to the requirements and limitations) of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender that acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, or unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto, and any such pledgee (other than a pledgee that is the Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank) shall acknowledge in writing that its rights under such pledge are in all respects subject to the limitations applicable to the pledging Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(e) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.04 and the provisions of Section 9.21, any Affiliated Lender may make Loans or Commitments or purchase or sell outstanding Loans or Commitments from the Closing Date until the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, on the following basis:

(1) any such purchase or sale of Loans or Commitments shall be consummated as an assignment otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.04 and pursuant to an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance in lieu of an Assignment and Acceptance (it being understood and agreed that any such purchase or sale of Loans that does not comply with this Section 9.04 and Section 9.21 shall not be effective as an assignment hereunder);

(2) any such purchase of Loans may be made by the applicable Affiliated Lender from time to time from one or more Lenders of such Affiliated Lender’s choosing and need not be made from all Lenders; and

(3) at the time of purchase, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and Commitments held by all Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 25.0% of the total Commitments and Loans outstanding at any time.

Section 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity.

Commitments and the administration of this Agreement (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with due diligence and the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements for special New York counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lead Arranger and counsel to the Depositary Bank and, in the event of any perceived or actual conflict of interest, an additional firm of counsel for any similarly affected persons) and in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the Transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated); and (ii) incurred by the Agents and the Lead Arranger (without duplication) or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of special New York counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, counsel to the Collateral Agent and counsel to the Depositary Bank and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any other necessary counsel; provided, that absent any conflict of interest, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger shall not be entitled to payment for the fees, charges or disbursements of more than one counsel.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agents (including the Depositary Bank) and the Lead Arranger (without duplication), each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented counsel fees, charges and disbursements (limited to no more than one firm as counsel to such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, one firm of local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction, one firm of specialty counsel, if applicable, and, in the event of any perceived or actual conflict of interest, an additional firm of counsel for any similarly affected persons), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the use or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) (A) any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any real property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or by any predecessor of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such presence, Release or threatened Release first occurs after none of the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries have possession or control of such real property or (C) the sending by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Hazardous Materials to any property for treatment, storage or disposal or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Indemnitee initiated or is a party thereto, in each case, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any Related Indemnitee, (y) a material breach of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or by any Related Indemnitee or (z) any proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by any Loan Parties and that is brought by one Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than any claims brought against any Agent or Lead Arranger in their respective capacities or fulfilling their respective roles as an arranger or agent or any similar role in connection with the Term Loan Facility). In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable to any Loan Party for any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(c) All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable after written demand thereof accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. This Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. to which Section 9.05 would otherwise apply arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 9.06 Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all obligations of the Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 9.08 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.08(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

(i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the fees payable to any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender,

(iii) extend or waive any Scheduled Amortization Payment or reduce the amount due on any Scheduled Amortization Payment or extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any Fee is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.16(b) or (c) or any other provisions of this Agreement in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby or the application of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(v) amend or modify the provisions of Section 9.04(a)(i) or this Section 9.08 or the definition of the term “Required Lenders,” or any other provision hereof or of any other Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date), or

(vi) release all or substantially all the Collateral or release any Guarantees of the Borrower, Holdings, Continental Wind Holding or any other Loan Party, without the prior written consent of each Lender;

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Depositary Bank or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Depositary Bank or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender.

(c) Without the consent of any Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent, the Depositary Bank and/or Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan Document may be amended, modified, supplemented or waived with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender if such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is executed and delivered in order to cure an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in such Loan

Document; provided that in connection with this clause (e), in no event will the Administrative Agent be required to substitute its judgment for the judgment of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent may in all circumstances seek the approval of the Required Lenders, the affected Lenders or all Lenders in connection with any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

Section 9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Fee Letters and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements among the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 2 (with respect to Fees), 4, 7 and 8 of the Engagement Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that Sponsor’s obligations under Section 4 of the Engagement Letter shall automatically terminate and be deemed superseded immediately upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, in the other Loan Documents or in the Fee Letters, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Fee Letters.

Section 9.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

Section 9.12 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which 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. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic imaging means), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “.pdf” or “.tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Section 9.14 Headings. The article and Section headings and Table of Contents used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

Section 9.15 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of Holdings and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of Holdings and the Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties thereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Person at the address specified for the Loan Parties in Section 9.01. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement (other than Section 8.09 or Section 8.14) shall affect any right that any Lender or Agent may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or any other Loan Party in the courts of any jurisdiction in which the Borrower, the Loan Parties or their properties are located.

(b) Each of the Holdings, the Borrower, the Agents, and the Lenders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court sitting in New York County. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Section 9.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders and each of the Agents agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to Holdings and their respective Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or the other Loan Parties or such Subsidiary or Affiliate (other than information that (x) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party in breach of this Agreement, (y) has been independently developed by such Lender or such Agent without violating this Section 9.16 or (z) was available to such Lender or such Agent from a third party having, to such Person’s actual knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any such Affiliate) and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents and advisors on a need-to-know basis or to any Person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16),

except: (i) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the regulatory or supervisory requirements of any Governmental Authority (including bank examiners), the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded (and the disclosing party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to so notify the Borrower of such disclosure, provided no such notice shall be required if such disclosure is part of a routine regulatory examination or is not permitted by law), (ii) as part of reporting or review procedures to Governmental Authorities (including bank examiners) or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, (iii) to its parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document, (v) to any prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such Person shall have agreed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16 or on terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 9.16) and (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Swap Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as each such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.16 or on terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 9.16 and each such professional advisor shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16). If a Lender or an Agent is requested or required to disclose any such information (other than to its bank examiners and similar regulators, or to internal or external auditors) pursuant to or as required by law or legal process or subpoena, to the extent reasonably practicable it shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower so that the Borrower may seek an appropriate protective order and such Lender or Agent will cooperate with the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary or Affiliate) in seeking such protective order. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.17 Communications. (a) Delivery. (i) Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will use all reasonable efforts to provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications collectively, the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at the address referenced in Section 9.01(a)(ii). Nothing in this Section 9.17 shall prejudice the right of the Agents, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lead Arranger or any Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(ii) The Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at the email address referenced in Schedule 9.01(a)(ii) shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees

(A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(b) Posting. Each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks, SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Lead Arranger will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who wish to receive information that is not material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries or their securities, if any, for purposes of United States Federal securities laws, (collectively, “Public Side Information”) and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. In addition, the Borrower and the Agents agree that unless specifically labeled “Public — Does Not Contain Material Non-Public Information,” all information, documentation or other data disseminated to prospective Lenders in connection with the syndication of the Term Loan Facility, whether through an Internet site (including, without limitation, an IntraLinks or SyndTrak workspace), electronically, in presentations, at meetings or otherwise will be deemed to contain material non-public information concerning the Borrower, its Affiliates or their securities. The Borrower hereby agrees to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “Public — Does Not Contain Material Non-Public Information,” at a minimum, prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “Public — Does Not Contain Material Non-Public Information,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as containing only Public Side Information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “Public — Does Not Contain Material Non-Public Information” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger shall be entitled to treat the Borrower Materials that are not marked “Public — Does Not Contain Material Non-Public Information” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated Public Side Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower shall be under any obligation to xxxx Borrower Materials “Public — Does Not Contain Material Non-Public Information” to the extent such Borrower determines that such Borrower Materials contain information that is not Public Side Information with respect to such Borrower or its Affiliates or their respective securities.

(c) Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of its or their affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents advisors or representatives (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s transmission of communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.18 Release of Liens and Guarantees. In the event that any Loan Party conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of its assets (including the Equity Interests of any of its Subsidiaries) to a Person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to release any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Equity Interests or assets that are the subject of such disposition. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Equity Interests or assets shall no longer be deemed to be made once such Equity Interests or assets are so conveyed, sold, leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of. The Security Documents, the guarantees made therein, the Security Interest (as defined therein) and all other security interests granted thereby shall terminate, and each Loan Party shall automatically be released from its obligations thereunder and the security interests in the Collateral granted by any Loan Party shall be automatically released, upon the Discharge of the Obligations. At such time, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree to take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Borrower at the Borrower’s expense to evidence and effectuate such termination and release of the guarantees, Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents.

Section 9.19 U.S.A. PATRIOT Act and Similar Legislation. Each Agent and each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act and similar legislation, as applicable, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow the Agents and the Lenders to identify such Loan Party in accordance with such legislation. Each Loan Party agrees to furnish such information promptly upon its receipt of a written request therefor from an Agent or a Lender.

Section 9.20 No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 9.20, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, that subject to applicable law, nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders and the Loan Parties, their equity-holders or their Affiliates. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction none of the Lenders is acting as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, equity-holders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its Affiliates has advised or is currently advising such Loan Party on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, (iv) each of the Borrower and each other Loan Party has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, (v) the Lenders may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates and no Lender has an obligation to disclose any such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates and (vi) it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to it in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto, and agrees that each Lender shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) in respect to such a claim or to any other Person asserting such a claim on their behalf. Each of Holdings and the Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.

Section 9.21 Affiliated Lenders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, with respect to any Loans at any time held by an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender shall have no right whatsoever, in its capacity as a Lender with respect to such Loans then held by such Affiliated Lender, whether or not any Loan Party is subject to a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding or otherwise, so long as such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, to (i) consent to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action with respect to, or otherwise vote on any matter related to, or vote in connection with any direction delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by the Required Lenders pursuant to, any of the terms of the Agreement or any other Loan Document, in each case to the extent such amendment, modification, waiver, consent, other action, vote or direction is effective with only the consent of or action by the Required Lenders (each, a “Required Lender Vote/Directive”) and, if applicable, the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that for purposes of any Required Lender Vote/Directive, the Administrative Agent shall automatically deem any Loans held by such Affiliated Lender to be voted on a pro rata basis in accordance with the votes cast in respect of the Loans of all other Lenders in the aggregate (other than any Affiliated Lender) in connection with any such Required Lender Vote/Directive (including all voting and consent rights arising out of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings (except for voting on any plan of reorganization or refraining from voting on any plan of reorganization, in which case the Administrative Agent shall vote or refrain from voting such Loans of such Affiliated Lender in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion)); provided, further, that no such Required Lender Vote/Directive shall deprive such Affiliated Lender of its share of any payments or other recoveries which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis under the Loan Documents and such Affiliated Lender’s vote shall be counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization or other amendment proposes to treat the Obligations of the Affiliated Lender in a manner less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower, (ii) attend any meeting (live or by any electronic means) in such Affiliated Lender’s capacity as a Lender with any Agent or other Lender or receive any information from any Agent or other Lender except to the extent such information is made available to any Loan Party (or its representatives) and other than administrative notices given to all Lenders under Article II or (iii) have access to the Platform in such Affiliated Lender’s capacity as a Lender.

Section 9.22 No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Equityholders. No past, present or future director, officer, representative, Controlling person, executive, agent, employee, incorporator or shareholder (whether direct or indirect) of any Loan Party (including any holder of any membership interests in any Loan Party), as such, will have any liability for any obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Agent and Lender and other Secured Party hereby waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the incurrence of the Obligations and establishment of the Term Loan Facility.

The Borrower promises to pay to the Lender or its registered assigns interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan advanced to the Borrower from the date of such Loan, until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Credit Agreement.

Both principal and interest are payable in U.S. dollars to Barclays Bank PLC, as Administrative Agent, at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxxxxxx X. Xxx, Facsimile: 000 000-0000, Telephone: 000 000-0000, Email: xxxxxxxxxxx.x.xxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx, in immediately available funds. The Loan advanced to the Borrower and the maturity thereof, and all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed on the grid attached hereto, which is part of this promissory note (the “Promissory Note”); provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower under this Promissory Note.

This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in Section 2.07(d) of the Credit Agreement and is entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) provides for the making of loans (the “Loans”) by the Lenders to or for the benefit of the Borrowers in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding U.S. $300,000,000, the Indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each such Loan being, on request of a Lender, evidenced by such promissory notes, and (ii) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events and also for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified. The Obligations of the Borrower under this Promissory Note and the other Loan Documents, and the Obligations of the other Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, are secured by the Collateral as provided in the Loan Documents.

The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Promissory Note or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action

H-1

or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties thereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at the address specified for the Loan Parties in Section 9.01(a) of the Credit Agreement. The Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Promissory Note shall affect any right that the Lender or Agent may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Promissory Note or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction in which the Borrower, the Loan Parties or their properties are located.

The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Promissory Note or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court sitting in New York County. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

This Promissory Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
