AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE CREDITS

Section 1.01. [Reserved].

Section 1.02. Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Loans, in Dollars, to Borrowers (each such Loan, a “Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance, subject to Section 1.02(b). Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed from time to time in accordance herewith.

(a) Maximum Revolving Loan Balance. Except as provided in Section 1.02(b) and in the proviso below, if at any time the then outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans exceeds the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance, then Borrowers shall immediately repay the outstanding Revolving Loans in the amount of such excess; provided, that if such excess results solely from changes to Reserves, the criteria of Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory, or advance rates in the Borrowing Base, in each case as implemented by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then Borrowers shall repay such excess within five Business Days of such implementation.

(b) Overadvances. If Borrower Representative requests that Lenders make, or permit to remain outstanding, Revolving Loans which would cause the Aggregate Revolving Exposure to exceed the Borrowing Base (any such excess Revolving Loan is herein referred to as an “Overadvance”), including any such Overadvance existing after the five Business Day period referred to in the proviso in Section 1.02(a), Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to make, or permit to remain outstanding such Overadvance; provided, that after giving effect to each such Overadvance, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not exceed the excess of (A) the Aggregate Revolving Commitment over (B) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swing Loans and the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations and (ii) the aggregate outstanding Overadvances shall not exceed of 10% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment at any time. If an Overadvance is made, then all Lenders shall be bound to make such Overadvance based upon their Commitment Percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, regardless of whether the conditions to lending set forth in Section 3.02 have been met. Required Lenders may prospectively revoke Agent’s ability to make or permit Overadvances by written notice to Agent. All Overadvances shall constitute Base Rate Loans and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. No Overadvance shall remain outstanding for more than 90 consecutive days during any 180 consecutive-day period.

Section 1.03. Letters of Credit. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, Borrower Representative may request that one or more L/C Issuers Issue, in accordance with such L/C Issuers’ usual and customary business practices and for the account of Borrowers, Letters of Credit (denominated in Dollars) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the earlier of (x) the Revolving Termination Date and (y) seven days prior to the Stated Maturity Date. An L/C Issuer may only Issue Letters of Credit to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law.

(i) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the Maximum Availability or the Letter of Credit Obligations for all Letters of Credit would exceed $35,000,000 (the “L/C Sublimit”);

(ii) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (A) is not a Business Day, (B) is more than one year after the date of Issuance thereof or (C) is later than seven days prior to the Stated Maturity Date; provided, that any Letter of Credit may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding one year as long as (1) each Borrower and such L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before each scheduled expiration date and (2) neither such L/C Issuer nor any Borrower shall permit any expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (C) above;

(iii) such L/C Issuer has not (A) received any fee due with respect such Issuance, (B) approved the form of Letter of Credit requested to be Issued or (C) received, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed by each Borrower or Borrower Representative, the documents that such L/C Issuer generally uses in the Ordinary Course of Business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement Agreement”); or

(iv) if any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, (A) such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender has not been replaced, (B) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have not been cash collateralized, or (C) the Revolving Commitments of the Other Lenders have not been reallocated pursuant to Section 1.18(b), in each case in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Xxxxx Fargo as L/C Issuer. Xxxxx Fargo as an L/C Issuer may elect only to Issue Letters of Credit in its own name and may only Issue Letters of Credit to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, and such Letters of Credit may not be accepted by certain beneficiaries such as insurance companies.

(c) Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent. An L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 1.03, Section 3.01, if applicable, or 3.02 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, that no Letter of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from Agent or the Required Lenders that any condition precedent contained in this Section 1.03, Section 3.01, if applicable, or 3.02 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.

(d) Notice of Issuance. Borrower Representative shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and Agent a notice of any requested Issuance of any Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of such requested Issuance. Such notice shall be made in a writing or Electronic Transmission substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.03(d) duly completed or in any other written form acceptable to such L/C Issuer (each, an “L/C Request”).

(e) Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers. Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide Agent, each in form and substance satisfactory to Agent: (i) (A) on or prior to any Issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer, (B) immediately after any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (C) immediately after any payment (or failure to pay when due) by any Borrower of any related L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, including a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment, and Agent shall provide copies of such notices to each Lender reasonably promptly after receipt thereof; (ii) upon the request of Agent (or any Lender through Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer and any related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by Agent; and (iii) on the first Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule of the Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer, setting forth any Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding on the last Business Day of the previous calendar week.

(f) Acquisition of Participations. Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit Obligations.

(g) Reimbursement Obligations of Borrowers. Borrowers agree to pay to each L/C Issuer, or to Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, any L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing no later than the first Business Day after Borrower Representative receives notice demanding payment thereof from such L/C Issuer or Agent (the “L/C Reimbursement Date”). Such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable by Borrowers with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) thereafter until payment in full, at the Default Rate.

(h) Reimbursement Obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders. If any L/C Reimbursement Obligation is not repaid by Borrowers when due (or any payment thereof is rescinded or set aside for any reason), the applicable L/C Issuer shall promptly notify Agent of such failure or rescission (and, upon receipt of such notice, Agent shall notify each Lender). Upon receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such L/C Reimbursement Obligation (as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 1.18(b). By making any such payment (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g)), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to Borrowers, which, upon receipt thereof by Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, Borrowers shall be deemed to have used in full to repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. Any such payment that is not deemed a Revolving Loan shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Obligation in respect of the related L/C Reimbursement Obligations. Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded. Following receipt by any L/C Issuer of any such payment from any Lender, such L/C Issuer shall promptly pay to Agent, for the benefit of such Lender, such Lender’s pro rata portion of all payments of L/C Reimbursement Obligations thereafter received by such L/C Issuer (or to the extent received by Agent, Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender all such payments received by Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer).

(i) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of Borrowers and Lenders pursuant to this Section 1.03 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement irrespective of (i) (A) the invalidity, sufficiency or unenforceability of any term or provision in any Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit, any Loan Document, or any modification of any of the foregoing, (B) any document presented under a Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any respect or failing to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (C) any loss or delay, including in the transmission of any document, (ii) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that any Person (including any Credit Party) may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any other Contractual Obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or reduction, (iii) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.02 to be satisfied, (iv) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party and (v) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 1.03(i), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of any Borrower or any Lender hereunder. No provision hereof shall be deemed to waive or limit Borrowers’ right to seek repayment of any payment of any L/C Reimbursement Obligations from L/C Issuer under the terms of the applicable L/C Reimbursement Agreement or applicable law.

(j) Cash Collateral. If at any time the Aggregate Revolving Exposure (after giving effect to any prepayments of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 1.02(a)) exceeds the Maximum Availability, then Borrowers shall immediately cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit as provided herein in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(k) Resignation. Any L/C Issuer may refuse to Issue a Letter of Credit or resign as an L/C Issuer, in each case, in its sole discretion; provided, that such L/C Issuer shall remain an L/C Issuer solely with respect to Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer prior to the date of such resignation, retain its rights and obligations hereunder with respect thereto, and otherwise be discharged from all other duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.

Section 1.04. Swing Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make Loans, in Dollars (each a “Swing Loan”), available to Borrowers under the Revolving Commitments from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed its Swingline Commitment; provided, that Swingline Lender may not make any Swing Loan (x) to the extent that after giving effect to such Swing Loan, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the Maximum Availability and (y) during the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives notice from Agent or the Required Lenders that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.02 are not satisfied and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. Swingline Lender shall not be required to determine whether the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 have been satisfied or waived. Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must be repaid as provided herein, but in any event must be repaid in full on the Revolving Termination Date. Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed.

(a) Borrowing Procedures. To request a Swing Loan, Borrower Representative shall give Agent notice no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day of the proposed Borrowing, which shall be made in a writing or in an Electronic Transmission substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.04(a) or in a writing in any other form reasonably acceptable to Agent duly completed (a “Swingline Request”). Agent shall promptly notify Swingline Lender of the details of the requested Swing Loan. Upon receipt of such notice and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Swingline Lender may make a Swing Loan available to Borrowers by making the proceeds thereof available to Agent and, in turn, Agent shall make such proceeds available to Borrowers on the date set forth in the relevant Swingline Request. In addition, if any Notice of Borrowing of Revolving Loans requests a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Swingline Lender may, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, make a Swing Loan to Borrowers in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Swing Loan.

(b) Refinancing Swing Loans. Swingline Lender may at any time (and shall, no less frequently than once each week) forward a demand to Agent (which Agent shall, upon receipt, forward to each Lender) that each Lender pay to Agent, for the account of Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Swing Loans (as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 1.18(b)). Each Lender shall pay such amount to Agent for the account of Swingline Lender on the Business Day following receipt of the notice or demand therefor. Payments received by Agent after 1:00 p.m. may, in Agent’s discretion, be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. Upon receipt by Agent of such payment (other than during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to Borrowers, which, upon receipt of such payment by Swingline Lender from Agent, Borrowers shall be deemed to have used such payment in full to refinance such Swing Loan. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g), each Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan. If any payment made by any Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a Revolving Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of such participation. Such participation shall not be otherwise required to be funded. Upon receipt by Swingline Lender of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this Section with respect to any portion of any Swing Loan, Swingline Lender shall promptly pay over to such Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such payment) on account of such Swing Loan received by Swingline Lender with respect to such portion.

(c) Obligation to Fund Absolute. Each Lender’s obligations pursuant to this Section are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including (i) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may have against Swingline Lender, Agent, any other Lender or L/C Issuer or any other Person, (ii) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.02 to be satisfied or the failure of Borrower Representative to deliver a Notice of Borrowing (each of which requirements Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) and (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party.

Section 1.05. Evidence of Loans; Notes. The Revolving Loans made by each Lender are evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, a Revolving Note payable to such Lender in a maximum principal amount of up to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Swing Loans made by Swingline Lender are evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, a promissory note in a maximum principal amount of up to the Swingline Commitment.

Section 1.06. Interest.

(a) Interest. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof (not to include the amount of undrawn Letters of Credit) from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR or the Base Rate, as applicable, plus the Applicable Margin; provided, that Swing Loans may not be LIBOR Rate Loans. Each determination of an interest rate by Agent shall be conclusive and binding on each Borrower and Lenders in the absence of manifest error. All computations of fees and interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any payment or prepayment of Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date.

(b) Default Rate. At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists and is continuing (or automatically while any Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) exists), Borrowers shall pay interest on the Obligations, from and after the date of occurrence of such Event of Default and for as long as it continues, at the Default Rate. All such interest shall be payable on demand of Agent or the Required Lenders.

(c) Maximum Lawful Rate. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Borrowers hereunder are subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event Borrowers shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Section 1.07. Loan Accounts. Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall record on its books and records the initial principal amount of each Loan, the interest rate applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. Agent shall deliver to Borrower Representative on a monthly basis a loan statement setting forth such record for the immediately preceding calendar month. Such record shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by Lenders to Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so, or any failure to deliver such loan statement shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder (and under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any claim against Agent.

Section 1.08. Register. Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section, shall establish and maintain (a) a record of ownership (the “Register”), by book entry, of the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer in the Obligations, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan, Letter of Credit and Letter of Credit Obligations, and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (b) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes and, in the case of Revolving Loans, the corresponding obligations to participate in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Loans) and the L/C Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations and shall be maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. Credit Parties, Agent, Lenders and L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by Borrowers, Borrower Representative, Agent, such Lender (as to only its Loans) or such L/C Issuer (as to information with respect to such L/C Issuer).

Section 1.09. Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. Each Borrowing of a Revolving Loan shall be made upon Borrower Representative’s irrevocable written notice delivered to Agent substantially in the form of a Notice of Borrowing or in a writing in any other form reasonably acceptable to Agent, which notice must be received by Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (i) on the date which is three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of each LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) on the date which is one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of each Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to or less than $75,000,000 but equal to or greater than $20,000,000, and (iii) on the requested Borrowing date in the case of each Base Rate Loan in an amount less than $20,000,000. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify: (a) the amount of the Borrowing, which shall not be less than $100,000, in aggregate; (b) the requested Borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day; (c) whether the Borrowing is to be comprised of LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans; and (d) if the Borrowing is to be LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable to such Loans. Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, Agent will promptly notify each Lender of such Notice of Borrowing and of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing. Unless Agent is otherwise directed in writing by Borrower Representative, the proceeds of each requested Borrowing after the Closing Date will be made available to Borrowers by Agent by wire transfer of such amount to Borrowers pursuant to the wire transfer instructions specified on Schedule 10.02 or such other account as Borrower Representative may designate. All Borrowing requests which are not made on-line via Agent’s electronic platform or portal shall be subject to (and unless Agent elects otherwise in the exercise of its sole discretion, such Borrowings shall not be made until the completion of) Agent’s authentication process (with results satisfactory to Agent) prior to the funding of any such requested Revolving Loan.

Section 1.10. Conversion and Continuation Elections. Elections. Borrowers shall have the option to (a) request that any Revolving Loan be made as a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans (other than Swing Loans) from Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans, (c) convert any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, subject to Article XI if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (d) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed Interest Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Rate Loan must be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000. Any such election must be made by Borrower Representative by 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to (x) the date of any proposed Revolving Loan which is to bear interest at LIBOR, (y) the end of each Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans to be continued as such, or (z) the date on which Borrowers wish to convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period designated by Borrower Representative in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan by 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of its Interest Period. Borrower Representative must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, including by Electronic Transmission. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.10 or any other form reasonably acceptable to Agent. No Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan, if the conditions to Loans and Letters of Credit in Section 3.02 are not met at the time of such proposed conversion or continuation and Agent or Required Lenders have determined not to make or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan as a result thereof. Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof. In addition, Agent will, with reasonable promptness, notify Borrower Representative and Lenders of each determination of LIBOR; provided, that any failure to do so shall not relieve any Borrower of any liability hereunder or provide the basis for any claim against Agent. All conversions and continuations shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans held by each Lender with respect to which the notice was given. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, after giving effect to any Borrowing, or to any continuation or conversion of any Loans, there shall not be more than seven different Interest Periods in effect.

Section 1.11. Optional Prepayments; Revolving Commitment Reductions.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Revolving Commitment Reductions. Borrowers may at any time on at least 10 days’ prior written notice by Borrower Representative to Agent terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitment; provided, that upon such termination, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full and all Letter of Credit Obligations shall be cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied in accordance herewith. Such termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be without premium or penalty except as provided in Section 1.15(d) and Section 11.04.

Section 1.12. Scheduled Payments. Borrowers shall repay to Lenders in full on the Stated Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swing Loans outstanding on such date.

Section 1.13. Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(a) Asset Dispositions; Events of Loss. If the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds received by a Credit Party in connection with a Disposition or an Event of Loss and all other Dispositions and Events of Loss occurring during any Fiscal Year exceeds $500,000, then (i) Borrower Representative shall promptly notify Agent of such proposed Disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Proceeds in respect thereof) and (ii) promptly upon receipt by a Credit Party of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss, Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Agent for distribution to Lenders as a prepayment of the Obligations, an amount equal to the lesser of (A) such Net Proceeds or (B) the outstanding Obligations. If no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall not be required to the extent a Credit Party reinvests the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss in productive assets (other than Inventory) of a kind then used or usable in the business of a Borrower, within 180 days after the date of such Disposition or Event of Loss; provided, that Borrower Representative notifies Agent of such Credit Party’s intent to reinvest, the proposed date of such reinvestment at the time such proceeds are received and the date reinvestment occurs. Pending such reinvestment, an amount equal to the lesser of (A) such Net Proceeds or (B) the outstanding Obligations, shall be delivered to Agent, for distribution first, to Swingline Lender as a prepayment of any Swing Loans and thereafter to Lenders, as a prepayment of any Revolving Loans, but, in either case, not as a permanent reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 1.13(a) on account of Term Loan Priority Collateral (as defined in the Term Intercreditor Agreement), if any, shall not be payable hereunder to the extent that they are paid to the Term Lenders pursuant to the Term Credit Agreement.

(b) Issuance of Securities. Except with respect to a Share Increase Transaction (if any), immediately upon the receipt by any Credit Party of the Net Issuance Proceeds of the issuance of Stock or Stock Equivalents (including any capital contribution) or debt securities (other than Net Issuance Proceeds from the issuance of (i) debt securities in respect of Indebtedness permitted hereunder, and (ii) Excluded Equity Issuances), Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, for distribution to Lenders as a prepayment of the Loans, an amount equal to the lesser of (A) such Net Issuance Proceeds or (B) the outstanding Obligations.

Section 1.14. Application of Prepayments. Subject to Section 1.16(c), unless otherwise provided in Section 1.13, any prepayments pursuant to Section 1.13 shall be applied first to prepay outstanding Swing Loans, second to prepay outstanding Revolving Loans without a permanent reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, and third to cash collateralize all Letters of Credit. Subject to the foregoing sentence, amounts prepaid shall be applied first to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining. Together with each prepayment under this Section, Borrowers shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 11.04.

Section 1.15. Fees.

(a) Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for Agent’s own account, fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b) Unused Commitment Fee. On the first Business Day of each calendar quarter and on and until the date upon which the Obligations are paid in full, Borrowers shall pay to Agent in arrears an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) for the account of each Lender in an amount equal to: (i) the excess of (A) the average daily balance of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the preceding calendar quarter over (B) the sum of (1) the average daily balance of all Revolving Loans held by such Lender, (2) the average daily amount of Letter of Credit Obligations held by such Lender, and (3) in the case of the Swingline Lender, the average daily balance of all outstanding Swing Loans held by such Swingline Lender, in each case, during the preceding calendar quarter; provided, that in no event shall the amount computed pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) above with respect to the Swingline Lender be less than zero, multiplied by (ii) (A) if the average daily balance of the aggregate of all outstanding Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Loans is equal to or greater than 50% of the average daily Maximum Availability during the preceding calendar quarter, then 0.25% per annum or (B) if the average daily balance of the aggregate of all outstanding Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Loans is less than 50% of the average daily Maximum Availability during the preceding calendar quarter, then 0.50% per annum. The total Unused Commitment Fees payable by Borrowers on each such date will be equal to the sum of all of the Unused Commitment Fees due to the Lenders on such date, subject to Section 1.18(f).

(c) Letter of Credit Fee. Borrowers agree to pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders (i) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender on account of Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder and (ii) for each calendar quarter during which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to the product of (x) the average daily undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit multiplied by (y) a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans; provided, that at Agent’s or Required Lenders’ option, while an Event of Default exists (or automatically while an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) exists), such rate shall be increased by 2.00% per annum. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be paid to Agent for the benefit of Lenders in arrears, on July 1, 2014, on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter thereafter, and, without duplication, on the date on which all L/C Reimbursement Obligations have been discharged. In addition, but without duplication of the costs and expenses payable by Borrowers pursuant to clause (i) above, Borrowers shall pay to Agent or any L/C Issuer, as appropriate, on demand, such L/C Issuer’s customary fees, charges and expenses, in respect of each Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is Issued.

Section 1.16. Payments by Borrowers.

(a) Generally. All payments to be made by each Credit Party under the Loan Documents shall be made without set off, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made to Agent (for the ratable account of the Persons entitled thereto) at the address for payment specified by Agent and shall be made in Dollars, by wire transfer or ACH transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder), no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date due. Any payment which is received by Agent later than 1:00 p.m. may in Agent’s discretion be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and any proceeds of Collateral. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent and each Lender to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be a Base Rate Loan and which may be a Swing Loan) to pay (i) interest, principal (including Swing Loans), L/C Reimbursement Obligations, agent fees, Unused Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, in each instance, on the date due, or (ii) after five days’ prior notice to Borrower Representative, other fees, costs or expenses payable by a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, in each case, so long as a result of such Revolving Loan the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans does not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment then in effect (it being understood that the failure of Agent or Lenders to make a Revolving Loan with respect to any such payment shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to make such payment in accordance with the terms hereof).

(b) Non-Business Day. Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, if any payment hereunder is stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as applicable.

(c) Application Following an Event of Default. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, and shall upon the direction of Required Lenders, apply any payments received by Agent in accordance with clauses first through sixth below. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, all payments made by Credit Parties to Agent after any or all of the Obligations have been accelerated (so long as such acceleration has not been rescinded), including proceeds of Collateral, shall be applied as follows and in such priority:

(i) first, to payment of costs and expenses, including Attorney Costs, of Agent payable or reimbursable by Credit Parties under the Loan Documents;

(ii) second, without duplication, to payment of Attorney Costs of Lenders payable or reimbursable by Borrowers under this Agreement;

(iii) third, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the Obligations and fees owed to Agent, Lenders and L/C Issuers;

(iv) fourth, to payment of principal of the Obligations, including L/C Reimbursement Obligations then due and payable, any Obligations under any Secured Rate Contract and cash collateralization of unmatured L/C Reimbursement Obligations to the extent not then due and payable);

(v) fifth, to payment of any other amounts owing constituting Obligations; and

(vi) sixth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to whoever may be lawfully entitled thereto.

Each of Lenders or other Persons entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses third, fourth and fifth above; provided, that no payments by a Guarantor and no proceeds of Collateral of a Guarantor shall be applied to Excluded Rate Contract Obligations of such Guarantor.

Section 1.17. Payments by Lenders to Agent; Settlement.

(a) Payments by Lenders to Agent. Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, disburse funds to Borrowers for Loans requested. Each Lender shall reimburse Agent on demand for all funds disbursed on its behalf by Agent. If Agent requires each Lender to make funds available to Agent prior to disbursement of funds to Borrowers, each Lender shall pay Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Agent’s account designated by Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. on such scheduled Borrowing date. Nothing in any Loan Document shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Agent, any Lender or Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. To the extent that Agent advances funds to Borrowers on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account (i) all interest accrued on such advance from the date such advance was made until reimbursed by the applicable Lender and (ii) all amounts received by Agent for the benefit of such Lender pursuant to this Agreement up to the amount needed to reimburse Agent for any such unreimbursed advance and interest accrued thereon.

(b) Settlement. At least once each calendar week (each, a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (except as otherwise provided in Section 1.03 and Section 1.18) of principal, interest and fees paid by Borrowers since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date.

(c) Availability of Lender’s Commitment Percentage. Agent may assume that each Lender will make its Commitment Percentage of each Revolving Loan available to Agent on each Borrowing date. If such Commitment Percentage is not paid to Agent by such Lender when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Commitment Percentage upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and Borrowers shall repay such amount to Agent within five Business Days of such notice.

(d) Return of Payments. If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under any Loan Document must be returned to any Credit Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of any Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, and Agent will be entitled to set-off against future distributions to such Lender any such amounts (with interest) that are not repaid on demand.

Section 1.18. Non-Funding Lenders; Procedures.

(a) Responsibility. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Loan or any payment required by it under any Loan Document, or to fund any purchase of any participation required hereunder on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such loan or payment or to fund the purchase of any such participation on such date, and neither Agent nor, other than as expressly set forth herein, any other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a loan or other payment or to fund the purchase of a participation under any Loan Document.

(b) Reallocation. If any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, all or a portion of such Non-Funding Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations (unless such Lender is L/C Issuer that Issued such Letter of Credit) and reimbursement obligations with respect to Swing Loans shall, at Agent’s election at any time or upon any L/C Issuer’s or Swingline Lender’s, as applicable, written request delivered to Agent, be reallocated to and assumed by Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment (calculated as if the Non-Funding Lender’s Commitment Percentage was reduced to zero); provided, that no Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or funding obligations that would cause the sum of its outstanding Revolving Loans, outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, amounts of its participations in Swing Loans and its pro rata share of unparticipated amounts in Swing Loans to exceed its Revolving Commitment.

(c) Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, including Section 10.01, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be, or have its Loans and Commitments, included in the determination of “Required Lenders” or “Lenders directly affected” pursuant to Section 10.01) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document; provided, that (A) the Commitment of a Non-Funding Lender may not be increased, extended or rescinded, (B) the principal of a Non-Funding Lender’s Loans may not be reduced or forgiven, and (C) the interest rate applicable to Obligations owing to a Non-Funding Lender may not be reduced in such a manner that by its terms affects such Non-Funding Lender more adversely than other Lenders, in each case without the consent of such Non-Funding Lender. Moreover, for the purposes of determining Required Lenders, the Obligations held by Non-Funding Lenders shall be excluded from the total Obligations outstanding.

(d) Borrower Payments to a Non-Funding Lender. Agent is authorized to use all amounts received by Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement first, to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Secured Parties and then to hold any amounts in excess of such payments as cash collateral in a non-interest bearing account up to an amount equal to such Non-Funding Lender’s unfunded Revolving Commitment. Agent may use such amount to pay such Non-Funding Lender’s funding obligations hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, all Letter of Credit Obligations have been discharged or cash collateralized and all Commitments have been terminated. Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. In the event that Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to Section 1.18(e) or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender.

(e) Cure. A Lender may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of “Non-Funding Lender” if such Lender (A) fully pays to Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon and (B) timely funds the next Revolving Loan required to be funded by such Lender or makes the next reimbursement required to be made by such Lender. Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder.

(f) Fees. A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Non-Funding Lender” shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and Borrowers shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the Unused Commitment Fees during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) thereof. During the period of time that any Letter of Credit Obligations are reallocated, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to such reallocated portion is payable to (i) all Lenders based on their pro rata share of such reallocation or (ii) to L/C Issuer for any remaining portion not reallocated to any other Lenders. So long as a Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligation of any Non-Funding Lender that have not been reallocated pursuant to Section 1.18(b) shall be payable to the L/C Issuer.

Section 1.19. Procedures. Agent is hereby authorized by each Credit Party and each other Secured Party to establish commercially reasonable procedures (and to amend such procedures from time to time) to facilitate administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent is hereby authorized to establish procedures to make available or deliver, or to accept, notices, documents and similar items on, by posting to or submitting and/or completion on, E-Systems.

Section 1.20. Borrower Representative. JAKKS hereby (a) is designated and appointed by each Credit Party as its representative and agent on its behalf (the “Borrower Representative”) and (b) accepts such appointment as Borrower Representative, in each case, for the purposes of issuing, delivering or receiving any notices, requests, certificates, instructions and consents under the Loan Documents and taking all other actions on behalf of any Credit Party or Credit Parties under the Loan Documents. Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Credit Parties. Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of a Credit Party by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Credit Party and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Credit Party to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Credit Party.

Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any Property of any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to Property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such Property or natural resource or any Property on or contiguous to any Real Estate of any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party or the owner, lessee or operator of any Property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by Agent or following Agent or any Lender having become the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party and (ii) are attributable to acts of such Indemnitee. This Section 10.05(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent Liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Lenders’ Obligations. To the extent that Credit Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 10.05(a) or (b) to be paid by any of them to Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally and ratably agrees to pay to Agent (or any such sub-agent), L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as applicable, such unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as applicable, was incurred by or asserted against Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity.

(d) Waiver. In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). Each Credit Party signatory hereto hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Credit Party to waive, release and agree) not to xxx upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor

Section 10.06. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any Property in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from a Borrower, from any other Credit Party, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in full or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

Section 10.07. Binding Effect; Assignments and Participations. This Agreement shall become effective when it is executed by Borrowers and Agent and when Agent is notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and Secured Parties and, to the extent provided in this Section, their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, that any assignment by any Lender shall be subject to the provisions of this Section; provided further, that no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

(a) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a “Sale”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender), (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender) or (iii) any other Person with the consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of Agent and, with respect to Sales regarding the Revolving Facility, each L/C Issuer that is a Lender and, as long as no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower Representative (which consent shall be deemed given unless an objection is delivered to Agent within five Business Days after notice of a proposed sale is delivered to Borrower Representative); provided, that (w) the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans and Commitments subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest or is made with the prior consent of Borrower Representative (to the extent required) and Agent, (x) such Sales shall be effective only upon the acknowledgement in writing of such Sale by Agent, and (y) interest accrued prior to and through the date of any such Sale may not be assigned. No Sale shall be made to a Credit Party, an Affiliate of a Credit Party, a holder of Subordinated Indebtedness or an Affiliate of such a holder, or to any Person that would be a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender.

(b) Procedure. The parties to each Sale shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by Agent (or, if previously agreed with Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the Assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to Agent), any Tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 11.01(e) and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to Agent, unless waived or reduced by Agent; provided, that (i) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale, and (ii) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such Assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Sale (unless waived or reduced by Agent). Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and any consent required under this Section, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, Agent shall record in the Register the information contained in such Assignment.

(c) Effectiveness. Upon Agent’s recording of an Assignment in the Register, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and have the rights and obligations of a Lender with respect to the Revolving Facility, (ii) the related Obligations (including any applicable Note) shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry, (iii) the assignor thereunder shall relinquish its rights with respect to the assigned Revolving Facility to the extent assigned and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, if all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents are being assigned, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) and (iv) the assignor shall file the necessary UCC financing statement amendment identifying the assignee as the secured party thereunder.

(d) Grant of Security Interests. Without the consent of any Person, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement to any Person (including any federal reserve bank) without notice to any Person; provided, that no such Person shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder (unless foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with Section 10.07(a)), and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

(e) Participants and SPVs. Without the consent of any Person, each Lender may, (a) with notice to Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (which funding by such SPV shall satisfy such Lender’s obligations) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (b) without notice to any Person, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents; provided, that (i) no such SPV or participant shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder, except that (x) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Article XI, but, with respect to Section 11.01, only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the Tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant thereto and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation, except to the extent such greater amount results from any Change in Law that occurs after the date such grant or participation is made and (y) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to Agent by such Lender, provided, that no SPV or participant shall have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (ii) unless such SPV or participant is an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such Lender, the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required for any amendments, waivers or consents under any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender in respect of the Loan Documents, except for those described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 10.01(a) to the extent such participant or SPV would be affected thereby or in clause (vi) of Section 10.01(a). No party hereto shall institute (and each Borrower shall not allow any Credit Party not to institute) against any such SPV grantee any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, that each Lender designating such SPV agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding. The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations. Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest) to any Person other than Agent except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 10.08. Non-Public Information; Confidentiality.

Each of Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document (including due diligence materials provided by the Credit Parties) and designated in writing by any Credit Party as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with Borrower Representative’s consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender, such L/C Issuer or Agent, as applicable, or to any Person that any L/C Issuer causes to Issue Letters of Credit hereunder, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) available to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent or any of their Related Persons, as applicable, from a source (other than any Credit Party) not known by them to be subject to disclosure restrictions, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) (A) to any insurance association or organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or (B) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information not identifying Credit Parties, (vi) to current or prospective assignees, pledgees or participants, direct or contractual counterparties to any Secured Rate Contracts and their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section, (vii) to any other party hereto, and (viii) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document or with any litigation or other proceeding, or to the extent necessary to respond to public statements or disclosures by Credit Parties or their Related Persons referring to a Lender, an L/C Issuer or Agent or any of their Related Persons. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section and those of any other Contractual Obligation of any Credit Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section shall govern.

(c) Tombstones. Each Credit Party consents to the publication by Agent or any Lender of any press releases, tombstones, advertising or other promotional materials in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law (including via any Electronic Transmission) relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using such Credit Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark.

(d) Press Release and Related Matters. No Credit Party shall, or shall permit any of its Affiliates to, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of securities of any Credit Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to Xxxxx Fargo or of any of its Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein to which Xxxxx Fargo or any of its affiliates is party without the prior written consent of Xxxxx Fargo or such Affiliate except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with Xxxxx Fargo.

(e) Distribution of Materials to Lenders and L/C Issuers. Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents and all reports, notices, communications and other information or materials provided or delivered by, or on behalf of, Credit Parties hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) may be disseminated by, or on behalf of, Agent, and made available, to Lenders and L/C Issuers by posting such Borrower Materials on an E-System. Credit Parties authorize Agent to download copies of their logos from its website and post copies thereof on an E-System

(f) Material Non-Public Information. Credit Parties hereby agree that if either they, any parent company or any Subsidiary has publicly traded equity or debt securities in the U.S., they shall (and shall cause such parent company or Subsidiary, as applicable, to) (i) identify in writing, and (ii) to the extent reasonably practicable, clearly and conspicuously xxxx such Borrower Materials that contain only information that is publicly available or that is not material for purposes of U.S. federal and state securities laws as “PUBLIC.” Credit Parties agree that by identifying such Borrower Materials as “PUBLIC” or publicly filing such Borrower Materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission, then Agent, Lenders and L/C Issuers shall be entitled to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of U.S. federal and state securities laws. Credit Parties agree that the following documents and materials shall be deemed to be PUBLIC, whether or not so marked, and do not contain any MNPI: (A) the Loan Documents and (B) materials of a customary nature prepared by Credit Parties or Agent in connection with the administration or syndication of the Loans. Before distribution of any Borrower Materials, Credit Parties agree to execute and deliver to Agent a letter authorizing distribution of the evaluation materials to prospective Lenders and their employees willing to receive MNPI, and a separate letter authorizing distribution of evaluation materials that do not contain MNPI and represent that no MNPI is contained therein.

Section 10.09. Set-off; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Right of Setoff. Each of Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Affiliate of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party), from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any deposits at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers or any other Credit Party against any Obligation of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall exercise any such right of setoff without the prior consent of Agent or Required Lenders. Each of Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify Borrower Representative and Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Agent, Lenders, L/C Issuer, their Affiliates and the other Secured Parties, may have.

(b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Credit Party and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender is entitled to receive under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith; provided, that (i) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender or L/C Issuer in full or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender or L/C Issuer without interest and (ii) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation. If a Non-Funding Lender receives any such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall turn over such payments to Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral requirements set forth in Sections 1.18 and 8.04.

Section 10.10. Counterparts; Facsimile Signature. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.14. No Third Parties Benefited.

Each Credit Party 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.

Section 10.17. Entire Agreement; Release; Survival. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES AND SUPERSEDE ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF AND ANY PRIOR LETTER OF INTEREST, COMMITMENT LETTER, CONFIDENTIALITY AND SIMILAR AGREEMENTS (EXCLUDING THE FEE LETTER) INVOLVING ANY CREDIT PARTY AND ANY LENDER OR ANY L/C ISSUER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES RELATING TO A FINANCING OF SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM, PURPOSE OR EFFECT OTHER THAN THE FEE LETTER. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN (UNLESS SUCH TERMS OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, IN WHICH CASE SUCH TERMS SHALL GOVERN TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO COMPLY THEREWITH). Execution of this Agreement by Credit Parties constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which each Credit Party may have at law or in equity in respect of all prior discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of the Loan Documents. (i) Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section, Section 10.05 and Articles IX and XI and (ii) the provisions of Section 8.1 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, in each case, shall (x) survive the Final Satisfaction and (y) with respect to clause (i) above, inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.18. Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Each Credit Party agrees to provide reasonable cooperation in respect of the conduct of such due diligence and further agrees that the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and charges for any such due diligence by Agent shall constitute costs and expenses reimbursable hereunder and be for the account of Borrowers.

Section 10.19. Replacement of Lender. Within forty-five days after: (i) receipt by Borrower Representative of written notice and demand from any Lender that is not Agent or an Affiliate of Agent (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional costs as provided in Sections 11.01, 11.03 or 11.06; or (ii) any failure by any Lender (other than Agent or an Affiliate of Agent) to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document to which Required Lenders have consented but the consent of each Lender (or each Lender directly affected thereby, as applicable) is required with respect thereto (“Non-Consenting Lender”), Borrowers may, at their option, notify Agent and such Affected Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, of Borrowers’ intention to obtain, at Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. In the event Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender within 45 days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, shall sell and assign its Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender, at par; provided, that Borrowers have reimbursed such Affected Lender for its increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment pursuant to Section 10.07 within five Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section, Borrowers shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment so executed by Borrowers, the Replacement Lender and Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section and Section 10.07. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain a Replacement Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender, as applicable, at any time with three Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender (unless notice is not practicable under the circumstances) and cause such Lender’s Loans and Commitments to be sold and assigned, in full or in part, at par. Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 10.07, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, that any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.

Section 10.20. Joint and Several. The obligations of Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are joint and several. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reference is hereby made to Article II of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, to which the obligations of each Borrower and the other Credit Parties are subject.

Section 10.21. Creditor-Debtor Relationship. The relationship between Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, on the one hand, and Credit Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between Secured Parties and Credit Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

Section 10.22. Keep Well. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under the Guaranty and Security Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations under any Secured Rate Contract; provided, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise under the Guaranty and Security Agreement, voidable under applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the guaranties in respect of Swap Obligations under each Secured Rate Contract have been discharged, or otherwise released or terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 10.23. Waiver of Immunities. Each HK Credit Party irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to itself and its revenues and assets (irrespective of their use or intended use), all immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or other similar grounds from: (a) suit; (b) jurisdiction of any court; (c) relief by way of injunction or order for specific performance or recovery of property; (d) attachment of its assets (whether before or after judgment); and (e) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which it or its revenues or assets might otherwise be entitled in any proceedings in the courts of any jurisdiction (and irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it will not claim any immunity in any such proceedings).

ARTICLE XI
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 11.01. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Except as required by a Requirement of Law, each payment by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax, penalties or other Liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”). If any Taxes shall be required by any Requirement of Law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Secured Party (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, such amount payable shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Credit Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Credit Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant Credit Party shall deliver to Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, Borrowers agree to pay, and authorize Agent to pay in their name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property Tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other Taxes”). Swingline Lender may, without any notice or consent from Borrowers or Borrower Representative, make a Swing Loan to Borrowers in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be solely used by Agent to make such payment.

Unless Borrower Representative and Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States withholding Tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable Tax treaty, the Credit Parties and Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(ii) U.S. Lender Party. Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this Section and (D) from time to time if requested by Borrower Representative or Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide Agent and Borrower Representative (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding Tax) or any successor form.

(iii) Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or identified an SPV as such to Agent shall collect from such participant or SPV the documents described in this Section and provide them to Agent.

(iv) If a payment made to a Non-U.S. Lender Party would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Non-U.S. Lender Party fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Non-U.S. Lender Party shall deliver to Agent and Borrower Representative any documentation under any Requirement of Law or reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower Representative sufficient for Agent or Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Non-U.S. Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the relevant Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such Credit Party, upon the request of such Lender, shall repay to such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 11.01(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, in no event shall the Lender be required to pay any amount to a Credit Party pursuant to this Section 11.01(f) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Credit Party or any other Person.

Section 11.02. Illegality. If any Lender shall determine that any Change in Law or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrowers through Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall have notified Agent and Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists. Upon any such notice, Borrowers shall prepay in full all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 11.04; provided, that Borrower Representative may elect, by giving notice to such Lender through Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made by any such Lender as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted to and funded as Base Rate Loans.

Section 11.03. Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a) If any Lender or L/C Issuer shall determine that, due to a Change in Law, (i) there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer of making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans or of Issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or (ii) such Lender or L/C Issuer shall be subject to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposit reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then Borrowers shall, within 30 days of demand therefor by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to Agent), pay to Agent, for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased costs or such Taxes.

(b) If any Lender or L/C Issuer shall have determined that (i) the introduction or any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iii) compliance by such Lender or L/C Issuer or any entity controlling the Lender or L/C Issuer with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or L/C Issuer or any entity controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entities’ policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of this Agreement, then, within 30 days of demand of such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agent), Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, from time to time as specified by such Lender or L/C Issuer, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer (or the entity controlling the Lender or L/C Issuer) for such increase. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in a Capital Adequacy Regulation under this Section 11.03(b), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(c) Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 11.03(a) or (b) for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer notifies Borrower Representative, in writing, of its claim of compensation thereof; provided, that if the event giving rise to such increase is retroactive, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

Section 11.04. Funding Losses. Borrowers agree to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of: (a) the failure of Borrowers to make any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof); (b) the failure of Borrowers to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after Borrower Representative has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation; (c) the failure of Borrowers to make any prepayment after Borrowers have given a notice in accordance with Section 1.11; (d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 1.12 or 1.13 or Article XI) of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; or (e) the conversion pursuant to Section 1.10 or Article XI of any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period; including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Each LIBOR Rate Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR used in determining the interest rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan is in fact so funded.

Section 11.05. Inability to Determine Rates. If Agent or Required Lenders shall have determined in good faith that reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with or that the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of funding or maintaining such Loan, Agent (either individually or upon direction of Required Lenders) will forthwith give notice of such determination to Borrower Representative and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until Agent (individually or upon direction of Required Lenders) revoke such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower Representative may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If Borrower Representative does not revoke such notice, Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by Borrower Representative, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans.

Section 11.06. Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans. Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan equal to actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided, that if Lender fails to give notice of such additional costs at least 15 days prior to such date, such additional interest shall be payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

Section 11.07. Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article XI shall deliver to Borrower Representative (with a copy to Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

Unless otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, references to agreements and other contractual instruments, including the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, thereto, restatements and substitutions thereof and other modifications and supplements thereto which are in effect from time to time, but only to the extent such amendments and other modifications are not prohibited by the terms of any Loan Document.

(f) Laws. References to any statute or regulation may be made by using either the common or public name thereof or a specific cite reference and, except as otherwise provided with respect to FATCA, are to be construed as including all statutory and regulatory provisions related thereto or consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting the statute or regulation.

Section 12.04. Accounting Terms and Principles. All accounting determinations required to be made pursuant hereto shall, unless expressly otherwise provided herein, be made in accordance with GAAP. No change in the accounting principles used in the preparation of any financial statement hereafter adopted by the Consolidated Group shall be given effect for purposes of measuring compliance with any provision of Article VI or VII unless Borrowers, Agent and the Required Lenders agree to modify such provisions to reflect such changes in GAAP and, unless such provisions are modified, all financial statements, Compliance Certificates and similar documents provided hereunder shall be provided together with a reconciliation between the calculations and amounts set forth therein before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to in Article VI and Article VII shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary at “fair value.” A breach of a financial covenant contained in Article VII shall be deemed to have occurred as of any date of determination by Agent or as of the last day of any specified measurement period, regardless of when the financial statements reflecting such breach are delivered to Agent.

Section 12.05. Payments. Agent may set up commercially reasonable standards and procedures to determine or redetermine the equivalent in Dollars of any amount expressed in any currency other than Dollars and otherwise may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by any Credit Party or any L/C Issuer. Any such determination or redetermination by Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. No determination or redetermination by any Secured Party or any Credit Party and no other currency conversion shall change or release any obligation of any Credit Party or of any Secured Party (other than Agent and its Related Persons) under any Loan Document, each of which agrees to pay separately for any shortfall remaining after any conversion and payment of the amount as converted. Agent may round up or down, and may set up commercially reasonable appropriate mechanisms to round up or down, any amount hereunder to nearest higher or lower amounts and may determine reasonable de minimis payment thresholds.

Section 12.06. Term Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby (a) agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder and thereunder, are subject to the terms of the Term Intercreditor Agreement (and to the extent any term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms thereof, the terms of the Term Intercreditor Agreement shall control), (b) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Term Intercreditor Agreement, and (c) hereby authorizes and instructs the Agent to enter into the Term Intercreditor Agreement.

This Guaranty by each Guarantor hereunder constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

Section 2.2. Limitation of Guaranty. The maximum aggregate amount for which any Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, as it relates to such Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable Requirements of Law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Guaranty for purposes of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution established in Section 2.3 hereof and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made under the Guaranty.

Section 2.3. Contribution. To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the value actually received by such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries from the Loans and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by a Borrower that received the benefit of the funds advanced that constituted Guaranteed Obligations) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on such date, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Guarantors on such date.

Section 2.4. Authorization; Other Agreements. Secured Parties are hereby authorized, without notice to or demand upon any Guarantor and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and without incurring any liability, from time to time, to do each of the following:

(a) (i) subject to compliance, if applicable, with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, modify, amend, supplement or otherwise change, (ii) accelerate or otherwise change the time of payment or (iii) waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with, any Guaranteed Obligation or any Loan Document;

(b) apply to the Guaranteed Obligations any sums by whomever paid or however realized in such order as provided in the Loan Documents;

(d) (i) sell, exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, release, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, accept, substitute, surrender, exchange, affect, impair or otherwise alter or release any Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligation or any other guaranty therefor in any manner, (ii) receive, take and hold additional Collateral to secure any Guaranteed Obligation, (iii) add, release or substitute any Credit Party or any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof and (iv) otherwise deal in any manner with any Credit Party or any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof; and

(e) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 2.5. Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense and hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional. No Guarantor shall be discharged as a result of or otherwise affected by any of the following (which may not be pleaded and evidence of which may not be introduced in any proceeding, in each case except as otherwise agreed in writing by Agent):

(a) the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (including any amendment, consent or waiver thereto), or any security for, or other guaranty of, any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;

(b) the absence of (i) any attempt to collect any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof from any Credit Party or other action to enforce the same or (ii) any action to enforce any Loan Document or any Lien thereunder;

(c) the failure by any Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain any Lien on, or to preserve any rights with respect to, any Collateral;

(d) any workout, insolvency, bankruptcy proceeding, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation or dissolution by or against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or any procedure, agreement, order, stipulation, election, action or omission thereunder, including any discharge or disallowance of, or bar or stay against collecting, any Guaranteed Obligation (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding;

(e) any foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default by any Secured Party to proceed separately against any Collateral in accordance with such Secured Party’s rights under any applicable Requirement of Law; or

(f) any other defense, setoff, counterclaim or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, in each case other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 2.6. Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim based on diligence, promptness, presentment, requirements for any demand or notice hereunder including any of the following: (a) any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest; (b) any notice of acceptance; (c) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements of any kind with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable; and (d) any other notice in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Credit Party. Each Guarantor further unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to (x) enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against any Credit Party by reason of any Loan Document or any payment made thereunder or (y) assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim it may have against any other Credit Party, in each case until Final Satisfaction. No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be discharged other than by complete performance. Each Guarantor further waives any right such Guarantor may have under any applicable Requirement of Law to require any Secured Party to seek recourse first against any Credit Party or any other Person, or to realize upon any Collateral for any of the Obligations, as a condition precedent to enforcing such Guarantor’s liability and obligations under this Guaranty.

Section 2.7. Reliance. Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each Credit Party and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that no Secured Party shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Guarantor, such Secured Party shall be under no obligation to (a) undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose any information that such Secured Party, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) make any future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantor.

Each Grantor and each Subsidiary owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted except for such Intellectual Property the failure of which to own or license would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. On the Closing Date, all Material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor is valid, in full force and effect, subsisting, unexpired and enforceable, and no Material Intellectual Property has been abandoned. To the knowledge of each Grantor, the conduct and operations of the businesses of each Grantor and each Subsidiary does not infringe, misappropriate, dilute, violate or otherwise impair any Intellectual Property owned by any other Person.

There are no pending (or, to the knowledge of such Grantor, threatened) actions, investigations, suits, proceedings, audits, claims, demands, orders or disputes challenging the ownership, use, validity, enforceability of, or such Grantor’s rights in, (a) any Intellectual Property, other than, in each case, as cannot reasonably be expected to affect the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated therein and would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) any Material Intellectual Property of such Grantor. To such Grantor’s knowledge, no Person has been or is infringing, misappropriating, diluting, violating or otherwise impairing any Intellectual Property of such Grantor. Such Grantor, and to such Grantor’s knowledge each other party thereto, is not in material breach or default of any material IP License.

Section 4.6. Commercial Tort Claims. The only Commercial Tort Claims of any Grantor existing on the date hereof (regardless of whether such Commercial Tort Claim has been asserted, threatened or has otherwise been made known to the obligee thereof) are those listed on Schedule 1, which sets forth such information separately for each Grantor.

Section 4.7. Specific Collateral. None of the Collateral is or is Proceeds or products of Farm Products, As-Extracted Collateral, Health Care Insurance Receivables or timber to be cut.

Section 4.8. Enforcement. No Permit, notice to, consent from or filing with any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required for the exercise or enforcement by Agent of its rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement, including the transfer of any Collateral, except as may be required in connection with the disposition of any portion of the Pledged Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of Securities generally or any approvals that may be required to be obtained from any bailees or landlords to collect the Collateral.

Section 4.9. Representations and Warranties of the Credit Agreement. The representations and warranties as to such Grantor made in Article IV (Representations and Warranties) of the Credit Agreement are true and correct on each date as required by Section 3.02 of the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE VI
Remedial Provisions

(a) UCC Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any Secured Obligation, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law.

(b) Disposition of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), during the continuance of any Event of Default (personally or through its agents or attorneys), (i) enter upon, use, operate and occupy the premises where any Collateral is located, without any obligation to pay rent or other compensation to any Person, through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any Grantor or any other Person notice or opportunity for a hearing on Agent’s claim or action, (ii) to take possession of, remove or render unusable any Collateral, (iii) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral and (iv) sell, assign, convey, transfer, grant option or options to purchase and deliver any Collateral (enter into Contractual Obligations to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Agent shall have the right, upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable Requirements of Law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.

(c) Management of the Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees, that, during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) at Agent’s request, such Grantor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at places that Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, Agent also has the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by Agent and, while any such Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition, (iii) until Agent is able to sell, assign, convey or transfer any Collateral, Agent shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Agent, and (iv) Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Agent shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Agent.

(d) Application of Proceeds. Agent shall apply the cash proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by any Requirement of Law, need Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.

(e) Direct Obligation. Neither Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, any Grantor, any other Credit Party or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guaranty thereof. All of the rights and remedies of Agent and any other Secured Party under any Loan Document shall be cumulative, may be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any Requirement of Law. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing, arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

(f) Commercially Reasonable. To the extent that applicable Requirements of Law impose duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for Agent to do any of the following:

(i) fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as such by Agent to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished Goods or other finished products for disposition;

(ii) fail to obtain Permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to sell or for the collection or sale of any Collateral, or, if not required by other Requirements of Law, fail to obtain Permits or other consents for the collection or disposition of any Collateral;

(iii) fail to exercise remedies against any Receivables Obligor or other Persons obligated on any Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims against any Collateral;

(iv) advertise dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;

(v) exercise collection remedies against Receivables Obligors and other Persons obligated on any Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or, to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any Collateral, or utilize Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets to dispose of any Collateral;

(vi) dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;

(vii) disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; or

(viii) purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any Collateral.

Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by any Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section.

(g) IP Licenses. For the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section, each Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

Section 6.2. Receivables.

(a) At all times, any payment of Receivables and proceeds of other Collateral received by, or on behalf of, any Grantor shall be promptly (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received in a Cash Collateral Account. Each such deposit of payments shall be accompanied by a report identifying, in reasonable detail, the nature and source of such payments.

(b) At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) each Grantor shall, upon Agent’s request, deliver to Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to any Receivable, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts and notify Receivable Obligors thereunder that the Receivables have been collaterally assigned to Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to Agent; and

(ii) Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect any amounts due under any Receivable and, in its own name or in the name of others, communicate with the Receivable Obligors thereunder and enforce such Grantor’s rights against such Receivables Obligors. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each Receivable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability, or be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor, under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to any Receivable.

Section 6.3. Pledged Collateral.

(a) Voting Rights; Proxies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, that Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. Each Grantor hereby grants to Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled, which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon Final Satisfaction. In addition, each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

(b) Authorization of Issuers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral to, without further action by any Grantor, (i) comply with any instruction received by such issuer from Agent in writing that states that an Event of Default is continuing and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected from Liabilities to such Grantor in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby or the Credit Agreement, pay any dividend or make any other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to Agent.

Section 6.4. Payments and Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by Agent. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all payments received under and all Proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by such Grantor in trust for Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, promptly upon receipt by any Grantor, be turned over to Agent in the exact form received (with any necessary endorsement). All such payments and Proceeds and any other payments under or Proceeds of any Collateral received by Agent in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by Agent in a Cash Collateral Account. All payments and Proceeds being held by Agent in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.5. Sale of Pledged Collateral.

(a) Each Grantor recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that such less favorable terms shall not be the sole basis of a claim that any such private sale was not conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such Securities for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 6.1 and this Section valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained herein will cause irreparable injury to Agent and other Secured Parties, that Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained herein shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor waives any and all rights of contribution or subrogation upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral by Agent until Final Satisfaction.

Section 6.6. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Such Grantor also hereby ratifies its authorization for Agent to have filed any initial financing statement or amendment thereto under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction if filed prior to the date hereof. Each Grantor hereby (i) waives any right under the UCC or any other Requirement of Law to receive notice and/or copies of any filed or recorded financing statements, amendments thereto, continuations thereof or termination statements and (ii) releases and excuses each Secured Party from any obligation under the UCC or any other Requirement of Law to provide notice or a copy of any such filed or recorded documents.

Section 7.4. Duty; Obligations and Liabilities. Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Each Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Related Persons shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for such Secured Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. No Secured Party and no Related Person thereof shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. In addition, Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by Agent in good faith.

ARTICLE VIII
Miscellaneous

Section 8.1. Reinstatement. Each Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the Proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Credit Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (a) any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or (b) any provision of the Guaranty hereunder shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.

Section 8.2. Release of Collateral. Upon Final Satisfaction, (a) the Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors, and (b) Agent shall deliver any Collateral in its possession pursuant to the written instructions of Borrower Representative. If Agent shall be directed or permitted pursuant to Section 9.09(b) of the Credit Agreement to release any Lien or any Collateral, such Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, Section 9.09(b) of the Credit Agreement. At the time provided in Section 9.09(a) of the Credit Agreement, a Grantor that is a Subsidiary of Borrower shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent provided in Section 9.09 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 8.3. Independent Obligations. The obligations of each Grantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations. If any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default, Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor, any other Credit Party or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor or any other Credit Party in any proceeding.

Section 8.4. No Waiver by Course of Conduct. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

Section 8.5. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through a Pledge Amendment substantially in the form of Annex 1 (a “Pledge Amendment”) or a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 2 (a “Joinder”), in each case duly executed by Agent and each Grantor directly affected thereby.

Section 8.6. Additional Grantors; Additional Pledged Collateral.

(a) Joinder Agreements. If required pursuant to Section 5.11(c) of the Credit Agreement, each Borrower shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Closing Date.

(b) Pledge Amendments. To the extent any Pledged Collateral has not been delivered as of the Closing Date, such Grantor shall deliver a Pledge Amendment duly executed by Grantor. Such Grantor authorizes Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement.

Section 8.7. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement; provided, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to Borrower Representative’s notice address set forth in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 8.8. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of each Secured Party and their successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent.

Section 8.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Section 8.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.11. Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

Section 8.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HERETO, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. EACH GRANTOR AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 10.18(b) AND 10.18(c) OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

Section 8.13. Waiver Under Statutes. Each Guarantor makes the following additional waivers:

(a) EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES THAT SUCH GUARANTOR MAY HAVE BECAUSE THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY. THIS MEANS, AMONG OTHER THINGS: (i) AGENT MAY COLLECT FROM SUCH GUARANTOR WITHOUT FIRST FORECLOSING ON ANY REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY A BORROWER; (II) IF AGENT FORECLOSES ON ANY REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY A BORROWER: (A) THE AMOUNT OF THE OBLIGATIONS MAY BE REDUCED ONLY BY THE PRICE FOR WHICH THAT COLLATERAL IS SOLD AT THE FORECLOSURE SALE, EVEN IF THE COLLATERAL IS WORTH MORE THAN THE SALE PRICE; (B) AGENT MAY COLLECT FROM SUCH GUARANTOR EVEN IF AGENT, BY FORECLOSING ON THE REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL, HAS DESTROYED ANY RIGHT SUCH GUARANTOR MAY HAVE TO COLLECT FROM SUCH BORROWER. THIS IS AN UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHTS AND DEFENSES SUCH GUARANTOR MAY HAVE BECAUSE THE BORROWERS' OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY. THESE RIGHTS AND DEFENSES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, ANY RIGHTS OR DEFENSES BASED UPON SECTION 580a, 580b, 580d, OR 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE (THE “CCP”).

(b) IN ADDITION, EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES ARISING OUT OF AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY AGENT, EVEN THOUGH THAT ELECTION OF REMEDIES, SUCH AS A NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY FOR A GUARANTEED OBLIGATION, HAS DESTROYED SUCH GUARANTOR’S RIGHTS BY THE OPERATION OF SECTION 580d OF THE CCP OR OTHERWISE.

Section 8.14. Waiver of Immunities. Each HK Credit Party irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to itself and its revenues and assets (irrespective of their use or intended use), all immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or other similar grounds from: (a) suit; (b) jurisdiction of any court; (c) relief by way of injunction or order for specific performance or recovery of property; (d) attachment of its assets (whether before or after judgment); and (e) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which it or its revenues or assets might otherwise be entitled in any proceedings in the courts of any jurisdiction (and irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it will not claim any immunity in any such proceedings).

Section 8.15. HK Collateral Documents. The parties acknowledge that the HK Credit Parties have also granted Agent certain Liens on the Collateral in accordance with the HK Collateral Documents, and that in the event of any conflict regarding the Collateral of the HK Credit Parties between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the HK Collateral Documents, the terms of the Hong Kong Documents shall govern.
