THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 14, 2014 by and among SUNGARD AR FINANCING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions signatory hereto from time to time as lenders (the “Lenders”), and GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as a Lender, as swing line lender (in such capacity, the “Swing Line Lender”) and as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

C. The Borrower has, under the Existing Credit Agreement, and intends to continue to fund its purchases of the Receivables, in part, by borrowing Advances and pledging all of its right, title and interest in and to the Receivables as security therefor, and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders, including certain new Lenders, intend to make such Advances, from time to time, as described herein.

ARTICLE II.
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF ADVANCES
Section 2.01. Advances.
(a) Term Loan; Revolving Credit Advances.
(i) On the Initial Funding Date, the Lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement made a term loan to the Borrower (the “Existing Term Loan”) under the Existing Credit Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (collectively, the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Restatement Effective Date in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment; provided, that the portion, if any, of the outstanding principal balance of the Existing Term Loan held by such Lender shall constitute the making of all or a part of such Lender’s portion of the Term Loan in accordance with this sentence and shall be continued as a portion of the Term Loan hereunder. In the event that any Lender holds a portion of the Existing Term Loan as of the Restatement Effective Date which is in excess of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender the amount of such excess on the Restatement Effective Date, which payment may be made by directing another Lender to fund all or a portion of its share of the Term Loan to such Lender. No amounts paid or prepaid with respect to the Term Loan may be reborrowed. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) that makes a request therefor, a note to evidence the amount of the Term Loan made by such Lender. Each such note (each, a “Term Loan Note”) shall be (x) in the principal amount of the amount of the Term Loan made or held by such Lender, (y) dated the date of issuance thereof, and (z) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(a)(i). Each Term Loan Note shall represent the obligation of the Borrower to pay the amount of the related Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Term Loan, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.06.
(ii) In addition, from and after the Restatement Effective Date and until the Commitment Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of revolving advances (each such advance hereunder, a “Revolving Credit Advance”) to the Borrower from time to time. Immediately prior to and after giving effect to any Advance under Section 2.03(b), the Outstanding Principal Amount of Revolving Credit Advances shall not exceed the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount and the Outstanding Principal Amount of Revolving Credit Advances made by each Lender (and the obligations of such Lender under Section 2.01(b)(ii) and (iii)) shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.06(c), no Lender shall make any Revolving Credit Advances if, after giving effect thereto, a Funding Excess would exist. The Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Advances hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) that makes a request therefor, a note (each, a “Revolving Note”) to evidence the Revolving Credit Advances which may be made hereunder from time to time by such Lender. Each such note shall be (x) in the principal amount of the Revolving Commitment of the applicable Lender, (y) dated the date of issuance thereof, and (z) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(a)(ii). Each Revolving Note shall represent the obligation of the Borrower to pay the amount of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment or, if less, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances made to the Borrower, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.06.
Third Amended and Restated

(b) Swing Line Advances. From and after the Restatement Effective Date and until the Commitment Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make advances (each such advance hereunder, a “Swing Line Advance”) to the Borrower from time to time; provided that if the Swing Line Lender believes in good faith and within its commercially reasonable credit judgment that one or more Lenders is or will be a Non-Funding Lender, the Swing Line Lender may, in its sole discretion after consultation with the Borrower and the Servicer, elect not to make the portion of a Swing Line Advance equal to the Pro Rata Share of such Lender or Lenders of the requested amount of the Swing Line Advance unless the Swing Line Lender shall have received Adequate Security with respect to such portion of the requested Swing Line Advance. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.06(c), the Swing Line Lender shall not make any Swing Line Advance if, after giving effect thereto, a Funding Excess would exist. The aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan shall not at any time exceed the Swing Line Commitment. Under no circumstances shall the Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Advance if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan would exceed the Swing Line Commitment. The Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Line Advances hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Unless the Swing Line Lender has (i) received prior written notice from any Lender, the Servicer or the Borrower instructing it not to make a Swing Line Advance because of the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.01 or 3.02 to be satisfied or (ii) actual knowledge of the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.01 or 3.02 to be satisfied, the Swing Line Lender shall, notwithstanding the failure of any such condition precedent to be satisfied, be entitled to fund such Swing Line Advance, and to have the Lenders make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(ii) or purchase participating interests in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iii). Any “Swing Line Advances” outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Restatement Effective Date shall constitute Swing Line Advances hereunder.
(i) If requested by the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a note to evidence the Swing Line Loan. Such note shall be in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment and substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(b)(i) (the “Swing Line Note”). The Swing Line Note shall represent the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Swing Line Loan, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.06.
(ii) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time not less than two (2) Business Days after making any Swing Line Advance, shall on behalf of the Borrower (and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so act on its behalf) request each Lender (excluding the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Credit Advance to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan (the “Refunded Swing Line Loan”) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless the Commitment Termination Date has occurred and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 to the making of an Advance are then satisfied, each Lender shall disburse directly to the Administrative Agent, its Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Credit Advance on behalf of the Swing Line Lender, prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time), in immediately available funds on the Business Day next succeeding the date on which such notice is given.
(iii) If, prior to refunding a Swing Line Loan with a Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(ii), the Commitment Termination Date or one of the events described in Sections 8.01(d) or (e) has occurred, then, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(b)(iv) below, each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Advance was to have been made for the benefit of the Borrower, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an undivided

participation interest in the Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan. Upon request by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall promptly transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation interest.
(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(ii) and to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event; (C) any inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time; or (D) other than any Swing Line Advance that is made in an amount greater than the Swing Line Availability at such time (unless such Swing Line Advance is made to charge or otherwise pay for amounts described in Section 2.06), other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If any Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount required pursuant to Sections 2.01(b)(ii) or (b)(iii), as the case may be, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled, in its discretion, to (x) to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until such amount is paid in full at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two Business Days and at the Index Rate thereafter and (y) apply, to the extent and in satisfaction of such amount, any collateral provided by or on behalf of such Lender as Adequate Security.
(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Swing Line Lender elects not to make the portion of a Swing Line Advance in respect of any Lender (a “Specified Lender”) pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.01(b), each other Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(ii) and to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iii) in respect of such Swing Line Advance shall be calculated ratably based on the respective Revolving Commitments of the Lenders (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Lender that is a Specified Lender).
(c) The Outstanding Principal Amount of Advances and all other accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Facility Maturity Date.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender’s pro rata share of (x) the outstanding Term Loan and (y) the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount shall at all times be the same.
Section 2.02. Changes in Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount.
(a) The Borrower may reduce the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount permanently; provided, that (i) the Borrower shall give three days’ prior written notice of any such reduction to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a) (each such notice, a “Commitment Reduction Notice”), (ii) any partial reduction of the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and (iii) no such partial reduction shall reduce the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount below the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances at such time (after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Advances).
Third Amended and Restated
4
(b) The Borrower may, at any time, on at least three days’ prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, irrevocably terminate the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount; provided, that (i) such notice of termination shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(b) (the “Commitment Termination Notice”) and (ii) the Borrower shall make all payments required by Section 2.03(g) at the time and in the manner specified therein. Upon such termination, the Borrower’s right to request that (1) any Lender make Advances or (2) the Swing Line Lender make Swing Line Advances hereunder, shall in each case simultaneously terminate and the Commitment Termination Date shall automatically occur.
(c) Each written notice required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 2.02(a) and (b) shall be irrevocable and shall be effective (i) on the day of receipt if received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day and (ii) on the immediately succeeding Business Day if received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders after such time on such Business Day or if any such notice is received on a day other than a Business Day (regardless of the time of day such notice is received). Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify, respectively, the amount of, or the amount of the proposed reduction in, the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount.
(d) If the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount is greater than zero, any repayment of the Term Loan at any time in accordance with Section 2.03(g) shall result in a permanent reduction of the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount in an amount equal to 50% of such repayment of the Term Loan.
(e) Any reduction in the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount hereunder shall result in (i) a reduction in each Lender’s Revolving Commitment in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount is being reduced and (ii) a proportional reduction in the Swing Line Commitment; provided, however, that no such partial reduction shall reduce the Swing Line Commitment below the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan.
Section 2.03. Procedures for Making Advances.
(a) Borrowing Requests. Except as provided in Sections 2.06(c), each Borrowing shall be made upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in the manner provided herein. Any such notice must be given in writing so that it is received no later than (1) in the case of any Borrowing of Swing Line Advances, 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Advance Date set forth therein and (2) in the case of any Borrowing of Revolving Credit Advances, 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the Business Day of the proposed Advance Date set forth therein. Each such notice (a “Borrowing Request”) shall (i) be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(a), (ii) be irrevocable and (iii) specify the amount of the requested Borrowing (which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000) and the proposed Advance Date (which shall be a Business Day), and shall include such other information as may be reasonably required by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such notice shall be required for the Borrowing on the Restatement Effective Date of (x) the Term Loan or (y) the initial Swing Line Advance or initial Revolving Credit Advance hereunder. Unless a LIBOR Rate Disruption Event shall have occurred, each Advance shall be a LIBOR Rate Advance and, for the avoidance of doubt, LIBOR Rate Advances may be requested for any Advance Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Borrower requests any Borrowing in a principal amount that is less than or equal to the Swing Line Availability as of the date such Borrowing Request is delivered, such requested Borrowing shall initially be funded as a Swing Line Advance (until such Swing Line Advance is refunded in accordance with Section 2.01(b)); provided, that if the Swing Line Lender has elected (or will elect) not to make any portion of a Swing Line Advance pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.01(b), the Borrower may request that a Borrowing instead be funded as a Revolving Credit Advance.

(b) Advances; Payments.
(i) (A) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt of a Borrowing Request delivered in accordance with Section 2.03(a) and in any event prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date such Borrowing Request is deemed received, by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of communication notify the Swing Line Lender or the Lenders, as applicable, of its receipt of a Borrowing Request relating to a request for Swing Line Advances or Revolving Credit Advances, as applicable, and (B) the Swing Line Lender or the Lenders, as applicable, shall make the amount of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent’s account as set forth in Annex W not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested Advance Date. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion in accordance with Section 2.03(c), before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02), the Administrative Agent shall make available to the account designated by the Borrower on the Advance Date therefor, the lesser of (x) the amount of the requested Borrowing and (y) the Funding Availability. All payments by each Lender under this Section 2.03(b)(i) shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(ii) On each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent will advise each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) by telephone or telecopy of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees (to the extent payable to all Lenders) paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each Advance. Provided that such Lender has made all payments required to be made by it and purchased all participations required to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as of such Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent will pay to each Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees (to the extent payable to all Lenders) with respect to each applicable Advance, paid by the Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of that Lender. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as specified by such Lender in Annex W or the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Settlement Date.
(iii) On each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent will advise the Swing Line Lender of the amount of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender with respect to the Swing Line Loan. The Administrative Agent will pay to the Swing Line Lender the amount of principal, interest and Fees paid by the Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer or by book balance to the Swing Line Lender’s account (as specified by the Swing Line Lender in Annex W or the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Settlement Date.
(c) Availability of Lenders’ Advances. The Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing of Advances available to the Administrative Agent on each Advance Date. If the Administrative Agent has made available to the Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such Borrowing but such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender when due, the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from (x) such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind and (y)

Credit and Security Agreement

any collateral provided as Adequate Security. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section 2.03(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Term Loan Commitment or Revolving Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. To the extent that the Administrative Agent advances funds to the Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such Revolving Credit Advance is made, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Revolving Credit Advance from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance to the date such Revolving Credit Advance is reimbursed by the applicable Lender.
(d) Return of Payments.
(i) If the Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and such related payment is not received by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from (x) such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind (y) any collateral provided as Adequate Security.
(ii) If at any time any amount received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to the Administrative Agent (or the Administrative Agent may apply any Adequate Security) on demand any portion of such amount that the Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as the Administrative Agent is required to pay to the Borrower or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(e) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it, but neither any Other Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance to be made by such Non-Funding Lender. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Transaction Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders” or “Required Remedies Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Transaction Document unless and until such Non-Funding Lender shall cease to be a Non-Funding Lender as defined in Annex X.
(f) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Notes (other than any rights of set-off, which are subject to the provisions of Section 11.07 hereof) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), it being the intent of the Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement, or the Notes shall, subject to any provision herein requiring that each Lender consent to a particular action, be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Unless a LIBOR Rate Disruption Event shall have occurred, each Advance shall be a LIBOR Rate Advance.
(b) If any Termination Event or Designated Event has occurred and is continuing, the interest rates applicable to each Advance and any other unpaid Borrower Obligation hereunder shall be increased by two percent (2.0%) per annum (such increased rate, in each case, the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Borrower Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate from the date of such Termination Event or Designated Event until such Termination Event or Designated Event is waived or cured.

Any Collections not set aside for the payment of accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations may be used by the Borrower for the payment of the purchase price for new Receivables under the Receivables Sale Agreement or for the payment of any amounts owing under Section 2.08(d). On the Commitment Termination Date and on each day thereafter, the Borrower shall cause the Servicer to set aside and hold in trust for the Secured Parties all Collections received on such day (and, if applicable, any additional amounts received or held by the Borrower for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations) owed by the Borrower and not previously paid by Borrower in accordance with clause (d) below; provided that if the Administrative Agent has exercised its right to obtain exclusive control over the Collection Accounts and the Concentration Accounts, all Collections shall be held by the Administrative Agent or its designee for application pursuant to this Section 2.08.

Section 2.09. Capital Requirements; Additional Costs.
(a) If any Affected Party shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by such Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Affected Party against commitments made by it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital as a consequence of its commitments hereunder or thereunder, then the Borrower shall from time to time upon demand by the Administrative Agent pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such reduction together with interest thereon from the date of any such demand until payment in full at the applicable Index Rate. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof submitted by the Affected Party to the Borrower shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto (absent manifest error) for all purposes.
(b) If, due to any Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Party of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any commitment hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, including with respect to any Advances or other Outstanding Principal Amount, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Affected Party hereunder or thereunder, including with respect to any Advances or other Outstanding Principal Amount (any such increase in cost or reduction in amounts receivable are hereinafter referred to as “Additional Costs”), then the Borrower shall, from time to time upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such Additional Costs together with interest thereon from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the applicable Index Rate. Each Affected Party agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstance referred to above that would result in any such Additional Costs, it shall, to the extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09(b). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.09(b) shall not apply to any increase in costs attributable to taxes (whether Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or otherwise), which shall instead be governed exclusively by the provisions of Section 2.10.
(c) Determinations by any Affected Party for purposes of this Section 2.09 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making, funding or maintaining any commitments hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents or on amounts payable to it hereunder or thereunder or of the additional amounts required to compensate such Affected Party in respect of any Additional Costs shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error) for all purposes.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Advance, then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Rate Advance at

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States of America or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case in respect of this clause (ii) pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to be a “change in law” under subsection (a) above and/or a “Regulatory Change” under subsection (b) above, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued; provided that the increased costs associated with a “change in law” and/or a “Regulatory Change” pursuant to this Section 2.09 based on this clause (e) may only be imposed to the extent the applicable Lender imposes the same charges on other similarly situated companies under credit facilities.
Section 2.10. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be made in accordance with this Section 2.10 without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, Charges or withholdings, or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax, on penalties thereto) excluding (1) taxes imposed on or measured by the net income (however denominated), gross receipts or franchise (or similar) taxes imposed on any Affected Party by the jurisdictions under the laws of which such Affected Party is organized, or with which it has a present or former connection (other than any such connection arising from such Affected Party’s having executed, delivered, or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement), or by any political subdivisions thereof, (2) any branch profits (or similar) taxes imposed by the United States or any other jurisdiction, (3) any backup withholding that is required by the IRC to be withheld from amounts payable to a Lender that has failed to comply with clause (A) of Section 2.10(e)(ii), (4) in the case of any Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrower under Section 2.13), any withholding tax that (A) is required to be imposed on amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to laws in force at the time such Lender becomes a party hereto, or (B) is attributable to such Lender’s failure or inability (other than as a result of laws in effect at the time such Lender becomes a party hereto or as a result of a Change in Law) to comply with Section 2.10(e), except to the extent that the assignor of such Lender was entitled, at the time of the assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) and (5) in the case of a Foreign Lender, any United States federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender as a result of such Foreign Lender’s failure to comply with FATCA to establish a complete exemption from withholding thereunder (such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, Charges and withholdings being “Indemnified Taxes”). If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States, federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, (A) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall withhold or make such deductions as are reasonably determined by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to be required by applicable law and based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (C) to the extent the withholding or deduction is

made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10) the Affected Party entitled to receive any such payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify any Affected Party from and against, and, within ten days of demand therefor, pay any Affected Party for, the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (together with any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.10) paid by such Affected Party and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided, however, that the applicable Affected Party provides the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. If the Borrower reasonably believes that such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Affected Parties will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower for the Borrower to file for and obtain a refund of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to the Affected Parties.
(b) The Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower) incurred by or asserted against the Borrower by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e).
(d) The Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 2.10 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify any Lender, to the extent that such Lender becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date (or, if later, the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of a change in the place of organization or place of doing business of such Lender, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required by the Borrower (and provided that nothing in this Section 2.10(d) shall be construed as relieving the Borrower from any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the event of a change in place of organization or place of doing business that precedes a change in law to the extent such Taxes result from a change in law).
(e) (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States:
(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Such documentation and information shall be delivered by any such Lender (i) on or prior to the Initial Funding Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, if such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Borrower and Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable backup withholding tax imposed by the IRC unless and until such forms are provided; and
(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the IRC or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form thereto);
(3) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) and all required supporting documentation;
(4) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or
Third Amended and Restated

18
(5) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary to avoid any requirement of applicable laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender and (C) submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (1) such additional executed copies of one or more such forms or certificates as may then be available under the current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or reduce, United States federal withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to FATCA, and (2) in the case of a Foreign Lender, any other documentation required under applicable law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower in order for the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Foreign Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.
(f) Subject to the last sentence in Section 2.10(a), and unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.10 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that they deem confidential). This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
Section 2.11. Increases.
(a) Provided there exists no Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may from time to time following the Restatement Effective Date, request one or more increases in the Term Loan and the Maximum Revolving
Third Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
19
Commitment Amount by an aggregate amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $150,000,000. Any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than fifteen Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). Any increase requested pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be allocated as a pro rata increase in the Term Loan and the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount (based upon the principal balance of the Term Loan and the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount as of the related “Increase Effective Date” as defined below). Any increase in the Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be funded by the Lenders participating in such increase in the Term Loan and the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount on the related Increase Effective Date.
(b) Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its portion of the Term Loan and the Revolving Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its portion of the Term Loan and the Revolving Commitment.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may also invite additional Persons to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no affiliate of the Borrower (including any Sponsor, any portfolio company of any Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates) may participate in any such increase as a “Lender” without the written consent of the Requisite Lenders.
(d) If the Term Loan and the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.
(e) As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by an Authorized Officer (i) certifying as to the due authorization by the Borrower of such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained herein and the other Transaction Documents are true and correct in all material respects (it being understood that such materiality threshold shall not be applicable with respect to any clause of any representation or warranty which itself contains a materiality qualification) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) no Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event exists. The Borrower shall prepay any Advances outstanding on the Increase Effective Date to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Advances ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares arising from any nonratable increase in the Term Loan and the Revolving Commitments under this Section 2.11.
(f) In addition to the other terms and conditions set forth herein for increasing the Term Loan and the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount, any increase in the Term Loan and the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to the additional condition that the Administrative Agent shall approve all up-front fees and other compensation paid to any additional institution which becomes a Lender hereunder or which increases its Term Loan and Revolving Commitment hereunder.

(g) This Section shall supersede any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary.
Section 2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.09 or 2.10 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Advances affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.10.
Section 2.13. Replacement of Lenders. (a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.10 or any Non-Funding Lender with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any requirement of law, (ii) no Designated Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.12 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.10, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Advances and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.10, as the case may be, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
(b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination in accordance with Section 12.07 (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower’s request the Administrative Agent, or a Person acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Revolving Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Advances held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.
Section 2.14. Non-Funding Lenders.
(a) If a Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, then, so long as such Lender remains a Non-Funding Lender in accordance with clause (c) below, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of a Non-Funding Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of Advances, interest, Fees, Breakage Costs, indemnity payments or
Third Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
21
other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Non-Funding Lender, but will, so long as such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account with respect to such Lender (the “Non-Funding Lender Account”), until the Termination Date and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of any amounts, if any, due and owing by such Non-Funding Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, together with interest thereon owing at the Index Rate; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Non-Funding Lender to the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; third, to the payment of interest due and payable to the Other Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them; fourth, to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Other Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them; fifth, if as of any Settlement Date the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances of any Other Lender exceeds its Pro Rata Share (as determined without giving effect to the proviso in the definition thereof) of all Revolving Credit Advances, to repay the Revolving Credit Advances of each such Other Lender in the amount necessary to eliminate such excess, pro rata based on the Revolving Credit Advances of the Other Lenders; sixth, to make any other mandatory reductions of Revolving Credit Advances of the Other Lenders required under Section 2.08, pro rata based on the Revolving Credit Advances of such Other Lenders; seventh, to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Other Lenders; and eighth, to pay any interest, Advances or other amounts owing under this Agreement to such Non-Funding Lender in the order of priority set forth in Section 2.08(b) hereof or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided that funds shall be redirected from the Non-Funding Lender Account to pay amounts owed under clauses second through seventh solely after application of other funds on deposit in the Agent Account and only to the extent that such other funds are insufficient to make such payments. Any funds redirected from the Non-Funding Lender Account to make payments under clauses second through seventh above shall not be deemed to be payment by the Borrower for purposes of determining whether a Termination Event or a Designated Event has occurred and shall not discharge any obligations of the Borrower to make such payment. To the extent that any Other Lenders have been paid with amounts redirected from the Non-Funding Lender Account, the Non-Funding Lender shall, from and after payment in full of all interest, Advances and other amounts owed to the Other Lender, be subrogated to the rights of the Other Lenders to the extent of any such payments from the Non-Funding Lender Account under clause eighth above.
(b) Notwithstanding the clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any time that any Revolving Commitments remain outstanding, at its sole and absolute discretion, after payment of any amounts owed under clauses first and second of the first sentence of clause (a) above, to (i) retain amounts in any Non-Funding Lender Account in an amount up to the related Non-Funding Lender’s unfunded Revolving Commitment and (ii) use any portion of such retained amounts to pay such Non-Funding Lender’s funding obligations hereunder. Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use such the amounts in a Non-Funding Lender’s Non-Funding Lender Account to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. Upon the termination of all Revolving Commitments, any amounts in any Non-Funding Lender Account shall be applied in accordance with the first sentence of clause (a) above.
(c) If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Non-Funding Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Non-Funding Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the other parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.14(a), such Non-Funding Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Advances of the

Credit and Security Agreement
22
Other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Advances of all of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Non-Funding Lender, provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Non-Funding Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, such notification will not constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Non-Funding Lender.
Section 2.15. Breakage Costs. To induce the Lenders to provide the LIBOR Rate on the terms provided herein, if (i) any LIBOR Rate Advances are, except by reason of the requirements in Section 2.03(c), repaid in whole or in part on any date other than a Settlement Date (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or is the result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) the Borrower shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Advance; (iii) the Borrower shall default in making any borrowing of LIBOR Rate Advances after the Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance herewith (including any failure to satisfy conditions precedent to the making of any LIBOR Rate Advances); or (iv) the Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Advance after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lender from and against all losses, costs and expenses resulting from or arising from any of the foregoing (any such loss, cost or expense, “Breakage Costs”). Such indemnification shall include any loss (including loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained (if any). For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, this subsection shall apply only to Lenders that have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Rate Advance through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Rate Advance; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Advances in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing sentence shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. The determination by any Lender of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error) for all purposes.
Section 2.16. Register; Registered Obligations.
(a) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.16(a), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.01 (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower) (i) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Lender in the Revolving Credit Advances, the Term Loan, the Swing Line Advances, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in the Term Loan, each Revolving Credit Advance and Swing Line Advance and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (ii) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 12.01 and 12.02), (2) the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Revolving Credit Advance and each funding of any participation described in clause (i) above, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, and (5) any other payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and its application to the Borrower Obligations. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b) Registered Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Advances (including any Notes evidencing such Notes and, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances, the corresponding obligations to participate in Swing Line Advances) are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Advances, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 2.16 and Section 12.02 shall be construed so that the Advances are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the IRC and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).
ARTICLE III.

(b) any event shall have occurred, or would result from the making of such Advances or from the application of the proceeds therefrom, that constitutes an Incipient Termination Event or a Termination Event;

The delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Request and the acceptance by the Borrower of the funds from the related Borrowing on any Advance Date shall be deemed to constitute, as of any such Advance Date, as the case may be, a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the conditions in this Section 3.02 have been satisfied.
ARTICLE IV.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 4.01. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. To induce each Lender to make Advances from time to time and the Administrative Agent to take any action required to be performed by it hereunder, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to each Lender and the Administrative Agent on the Restatement Effective Date and each Advance Date, each and all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
(a) Existence; Compliance with Law. The Borrower (i) is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, is a “registered organization” as defined in the UCC of such jurisdiction and is not organized under the laws of any other jurisdiction; (ii) is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) has the requisite power and authority and the legal right to own, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber and operate its properties, to lease the property it operates under lease, and to conduct its business, in each case, as now, heretofore and proposed to be conducted, except where such failure, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) has all licenses, permits, consents or approvals from or by, and has made all filings with, and has given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction, to the extent required for such ownership, operation and conduct, except where the failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (v) is in compliance with its limited liability company agreement; and (vi) subject to specific representations set forth herein regarding ERISA, tax and other laws, is in compliance with all applicable provisions of law, except where the failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Executive Offices; Collateral Locations; Corporate or Other Names; FEIN. The state of organization and the organization identification number of the Borrower and current location of the Borrower’s chief executive office and the premises within which any Borrower Collateral is stored or located, are set forth in Schedule 4.01(b). The Borrower has not been known as or used any fictitious or trade name. Schedule 4.01(b) lists the federal employer identification number of the Borrower.
(c) Power, Authorization, Enforceable Obligations. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the creation and perfection of all Liens and ownership interests provided for herein and therein: (i) are within the Borrower’s limited liability company power; (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary or proper actions; (iii) do not contravene any provision of the Borrower’s certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement; (iv) do not violate any law or regulation, or any order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority, except any violation that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (v) do not conflict with or result in the breach or termination of, constitute a default under or accelerate or permit the acceleration of any performance required by, (A) any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or
Third Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
25
other instrument to which the Borrower is a party, (B) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which the Parent or any Seller is a party or by which the Borrower, the Parent, any Seller or any of the property of the Parent or any Seller is bound that relates to Indebtedness of the Parent or such Seller in an amount greater than or equal to $50,000,000 or (C) any other indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which the Parent or any Seller is a party or by which the Parent, any Seller or any of the property of the Borrower, the Parent or any Seller is bound, except as where could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (vi) do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim upon any of the property of the Borrower or any Seller; and (vii) do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except those which have been duly obtained, made or complied with on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date and those consents or approvals, the failure of which to so obtain, could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The exercise by each of the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of any of its rights and remedies under any Transaction Document to which it is a party do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except those which will have been duly obtained, made or complied with on or prior to the Initial Funding Date and those consents or approvals, the failure of which to so obtain, could not, individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. On the Initial Funding Date and as of the Restatement Effective Date, each of the Transaction Documents to which the Borrower is a party shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each such Transaction Document shall then constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(d) No Litigation. No Litigation is now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower that (i) challenges the Borrower’s right or power to enter into or perform any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or the validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document or any action taken thereunder, (ii) seeks to prevent the transfer, sale or pledge of any Receivable or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (iii) is reasonably likely to be adversely determined and, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (iv) consists of an indictment by a Governmental Authority (including any federal or state prosecutor) of the Borrower which alleges criminal misconduct by the Borrower.
(e) Solvency. After giving effect to the sale of Receivables and the Advances to be made on such date and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, the Borrower is and will be Solvent.
(f) Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the Borrower’s organization, (i) the Borrower has not incurred any obligations, contingent or non-contingent liabilities, liabilities for Charges, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, other than in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents and (ii) no contract, lease or other agreement or instrument has been entered into by the Borrower or has become binding upon the Borrower’s assets, other than in connection with the Transaction Documents, and no law or regulation applicable to the Borrower has been adopted that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Ownership of Property; Liens. None of the properties and assets (including the Transferred Receivables) of the Borrower are subject to any Adverse Claims other than Permitted Encumbrances not attaching to Transferred Receivables, and there are no facts, circumstances or conditions known to the Borrower that may result in (i) with respect to the Transferred Receivables, any Adverse Claims and (ii) with respect to its other properties and assets, any Adverse Claims other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Borrower has received all assignments, bills of sale and other documents, and has duly effected all recordings, filings and other actions necessary to establish, protect and perfect the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Receivables and its other properties and assets. No effective financing statement or other similar instrument are of record in any filing office listing the Borrower or any Seller as debtor and covering any of the Transferred Receivables or the other Borrower Collateral (except (i) with respect to the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder and (ii) in connection with the Senior Credit Agreement (it being understood that any Lien in any Seller’s rights in the Transferred Receivables is released upon such Seller’s transfer of such Receivable pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement), and the Liens granted to the Lender pursuant to Section 7.01 are and will be at all times fully perfected first priority Liens in and to the Borrower Collateral.
(h) Ventures and Subsidiaries; Outstanding Stock and Debt. The Borrower has no Subsidiaries, and is not engaged in any joint venture or partnership with any other Person. The Borrower has no investments in any Person other than Permitted Investments. There are no outstanding rights to purchase or options, warrants or similar rights or agreements pursuant to which the Borrower may be required to issue, sell, repurchase or redeem some or all of its membership interests. Other than (x) the subordinated loans made in accordance with the Receivables Sale Agreement and (y) the Debt arising under this Agreement, the Borrower has no outstanding Debt on the Restatement Effective Date.
(i) Taxes. Except as could not, either individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns, required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by any domestic Affiliate of Borrower and all material tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns, required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by any Affiliate of the Borrower, have in each case been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority and all Charges have been paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof (or any such fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss has been paid and taking into account applicable extensions), excluding Charges or other amounts being contested in accordance with Section 5.01(e). Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by the Borrower or any such domestic Affiliate from its respective employees for all periods in full and complete compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective Governmental Authorities (taking into account any applicable extensions). As of the Restatement Effective Date, (i) Borrower has elected to be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for federal income tax purposes under Section 301.7701-3(b)(1) of the United States Treasury Regulations and is therefore not an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, and (ii) neither the Parent nor any domestic Affiliate of the Borrower included in the Parent Group has agreed or been requested to make any adjustment under IRC 481(a), by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent will treat the Advances as indebtedness for United States federal income tax purposes.

Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any other written statement or information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Lender or the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. All information contained in this Agreement, any Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any other written statement or information furnished to any Lender or the Administrative Agent has been prepared in good faith by the management of the Borrower with the exercise of reasonable diligence.
(k) ERISA. The Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with ERISA and have not incurred and does not expect to incur any liabilities (except for premium payments arising in the ordinary course of business) payable to the PBGC under Title IV of ERISA, except failure to comply or the incurrence of any liability that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or result in a Termination Event or a Designated Event.
(l) Brokers. No broker or finder acting on behalf of the Borrower was employed or utilized in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the Borrower has no obligation to any Person in respect of any finder’s or brokerage fees in connection therewith.
(m) Margin Regulations. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin security,” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). The Borrower owns no Margin Stock, and no portion of the proceeds of the Advances made hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Debt that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any portion of such proceeds to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. The Borrower will not take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Transaction Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.
(n) Nonapplicability of Bulk Sales Laws. No transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.
(o) Government Regulation. The Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act. The making of Advances by the Lenders hereunder, the application of the proceeds thereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will not violate any provision of any such statute or any rule, regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(p) Nonconsolidation. The Borrower is operated in such a manner that the separate corporate existence of the Borrower, on the one hand, and any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, would not be disregarded in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any member of the Parent Group and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in accordance with (i) the terms of its limited liability company agreement and (ii) the assumptions set forth in each opinion letter of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP (or other counsel to the Borrower approved by the Administrative Agent) with respect to issues of substantive consolidation and true sale and absolute transfer.

Each Account constitutes a deposit account within the meaning of the applicable UCC. The Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) has delivered to the Administrative Agent a fully executed agreement pursuant to which each Concentration Account Bank (in the case of each Concentration Account) and each Collection Account Bank (with respect to each Collection Account) has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing the disposition of funds in the Accounts without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Seller. No Account is in the name of any person other than the Borrower, and the Borrower has not consented to any Bank following the instructions of any Person other than the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent has a first priority perfected security interest in each Account, and all Borrower Collateral on deposit therein.

(i) Transfers. Each Transferred Receivable was purchased by the Borrower on the relevant Transfer Date pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement.
(ii) Eligibility. Each Transferred Receivable designated as an Eligible Receivable in each Borrowing Base Certificate, Weekly Report or Monthly Report, as the case may be, constitutes an Eligible Receivable as of the date specified in such Borrowing Base Certificate, Weekly Report or Monthly Report, as applicable.
(iii) Nonavoidability of Transfers. The Borrower shall have purchased each Receivable from the Sellers for cash consideration or with the proceeds of a subordinated loan made in accordance with the Receivables Sale Agreement, in each case in an amount that constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value therefor. No transfer of Receivables pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by any Seller to the Borrower, as applicable, and no such transfer is or may be avoidable or subject to avoidance under any bankruptcy laws, rules or regulations.
(s) Assignment of Interest in Transaction Documents. The Borrower’s interests in, to and under the Receivables Sale Agreement and the Seller Support Agreement have been assigned by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself and the Secured Parties) as security for the Borrower Obligations.
(t) Notices to Obligors. Each Obligor of Transferred Receivables has been directed to remit all payments with respect to such Receivables for deposit in a Lockbox, Collection Account or the Concentration Accounts.
(u) Representations and Warranties in Other Transaction Documents.

(ii) Creation of Security Interest. The Borrower owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables, Accounts and Lockboxes, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders). The Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables, Accounts and Lockboxes in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties), which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims and is enforceable as such as against any creditors of and purchasers from the Borrower.
(iii) Perfection. On or prior to the Restatement Effective Date: (A) the Borrower has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law and entered into Account Agreements in order to perfect (x) the transfer of the Receivables from the Sellers to the Borrower pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement, and (y) the security interest granted by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties) in the Receivables hereunder; (B) with respect to each Concentration Account, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties), a fully executed Concentration Account Agreement pursuant to which the applicable Concentration Account Bank has agreed to comply with all instructions given by the Administrative Agent with respect to all funds on deposit in such Concentration Account, without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Seller; and (C) with respect to each Collection Account, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties), a fully executed Collection Account Agreement pursuant to which the applicable Bank has agreed to comply with all instructions given by the Administrative Agent with respect to all funds on deposit in the Collection Accounts and the related Lockboxes, without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Seller.

(a) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, offset or otherwise apply amounts payable to the Borrower from the Agent Account, any Concentration Account or any Collection Account against all or any part of the Borrower Obligations.
(b) The Administrative Agent may (but in no event shall be obligated to) exercise, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in connection with the Borrower Assigned Agreements or the other Borrower Collateral, including any and all rights of the Borrower to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provisions of, the Borrower Assigned Agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Servicer Termination, have the right to name any Successor Servicer (including itself) pursuant to Servicing Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or any of the Lenders’ or Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any of the Borrower’s premises without charge for such sales at such time or times as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, ten days’ notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Borrower Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the Borrower Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each Seller, the Borrower, any Person claiming any right in the Borrower Collateral sold through any Seller or the Borrower, and their respective successors or assigns.

Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any such purchaser, the Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
(d) At any sale under Section 9.01(b), any Lender or the Administrative Agent may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.
Section 9.03. Exercise of Remedies.
(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between any Seller, the Borrower or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on any party hereto shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the party providing such notice or making such demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other
Third Amended and Restated

49
Transaction Documents against the Borrower, the Servicer or the Collateral shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Transaction Documents for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, (ii) the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Swingline Lender) hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.07 or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable debtor relief law; and provided further that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, then (A) the Required Remedies Lenders and/or the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article IX and (B) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 11.07, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Remedies Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Remedies Lenders or the Requisite Lenders.
Section 9.04. Power of Attorney. On or before the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.04 (a “Power of Attorney”). The Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms and all of the Borrower Obligations are indefeasibly paid or otherwise satisfied in full. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent under each Power of Attorney are solely to protect the Liens of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders upon and interests in the Borrower Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall not be accountable for any amount other than amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and none of the Administrative Agent’s officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to the Borrower, any Seller, the Servicer or any other Person for any act or failure to act, except to the extent of damages attributable to their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any powers pursuant to any Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default, Termination Event, a Designated Event or Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing.
Section 9.05. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing Lien in the Borrower Collateral until the date such security interest is released by Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall be consented to by the Borrower (other than during the occurrence and continuance of a Designated Event or Termination Event), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the resigning the Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution which commercial bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Administrative Agent, such resignation shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

Any Lender or holder of any Note exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any
Third Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
54
payment on account of the Borrower Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrower Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Each Lender’s obligation pursuant to this Section 11.07 is in addition to and not in limitation of its obligations to purchase a participation equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Swing Line Advance pursuant to Section 2.01(b). The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender or holder may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Borrower Obligations and may sell participations in such amount so set off to other Lenders and holders and (b) any Lender or holders so purchasing a participation in the Advances made or other Borrower Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of set off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Advances and the other Borrower Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the set-off amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of set-off, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

Section 12.02. Binding Effect; Assignability.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The
Third Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
55
Borrower may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey any of its rights or obligations hereunder or interests herein without the express prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders and the Administrative Agent. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by the Borrower without the prior express written consent of the Requisite Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be void.
(b) Any assignment by a Lender shall (i) require the execution of an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 12.02(b) or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and acknowledged by, the Administrative Agent and other than in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates, the consent of the Administrative Agent and, only if and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, further that assignments by a Lender to a SPV or any Affiliate of the Agent or any Lender shall not be subject to the consent of the Borrower; (ii) if a partial assignment, (A) be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and, after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assigning Lender shall have retained a Revolving Commitment in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and (B) constitute a ratable assignment of the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount and the Term Loan such that, after giving effect to such assignment, such assignee Lender’s and assignor Lender’s respective pro rata shares of the outstanding Term Loan and outstanding Maximum Revolving Credit Amount shall be equal; (iii) require the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the assignee or participant, as the case may be, of any forms, certificates or other evidence described in Section 2.10(e), (iv) other than in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates, include a payment to the Administrative Agent by the assignor or assignee Lender of an assignment fee of $3,500 and (v) any assignment by a Non-Funding Lender (including any Affiliate thereof) shall require the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 12.02, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Lender hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Revolving Commitment or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment made in accordance with this Section 12.02(b) will give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall thereupon be a “Lender” for all purposes. In all instances, each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment. In the event any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of a Note, the Borrower shall, upon the request of such Lender, execute one or more new Notes in exchange for the Notes being assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.02(b), any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank or to any holder or trustee of such Lender’s securities; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment to any Federal Reserve Bank, holder or trustee shall release such Lender from such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document and no such holder or trustee shall be entitled to enforce any rights of such Lender hereunder unless such holder or trustee becomes a Lender hereunder through execution of an Assignment Agreement as set forth above.
(c) In addition to the foregoing right, any Lender may, without consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, but with notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer (unless a Designated Event or Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), (x) grant to a SPV the option to make all or any part of any Advance that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder); (y) assign to a SPV all or a portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under the Transaction Documents, including a sale of any
Third Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
56
Advances or other Borrower Obligations hereunder and such Lender’s right to receive payment with respect to any such Borrower Obligation and (z) sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Advances); provided, however, that (x) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Advances hereunder, and none shall be liable to any Person for any obligations of such Lender hereunder (it being understood that nothing in this Section 12.02(c) shall limit any rights the Lender may have as against such SPV or participant under the terms of the applicable option, sale or participation agreement between or among such parties); and (y) no such SPV or holder of any such participation shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder] except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Advance in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Advance in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Borrower Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents). Solely for purposes of Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 2.15 and 10.01, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each such sale or participation shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the participant or SPV and each such participant or SPV shall be considered to be a “Lender” for purposes of such sections; provided, however, that a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.10 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.10(e) as though it were a Lender. Except as set forth in the two preceding sentences, such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent towards such Lender under any Transaction Document shall remain unchanged and none of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation or assignment to a SPV) shall have any duty to any participant or SPV and may continue to deal solely with the assigning or selling Lender as if no such assignment or sale had occurred. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, 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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any this Agreement) 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, and such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(d) Except as expressly provided in this Section 12.02, no Lender shall, as between the Borrower and that Lender, or between the Administrative Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Advances, the Notes or other Borrower Obligations owed to such Lender.
(e) The Borrower shall assist any Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 12.02 as reasonably required to enable the assigning or selling Lender to
Third Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
57
effect any such assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be reasonably requested and the participation of management in meetings with potential assignees or participants. The Borrower shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests in connection with an initial syndication of the Revolving Commitments hereunder, assist in the preparation of informational materials for such syndication.
(f) A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any Seller, the Servicer and/or the Receivables in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants). Each Lender shall obtain from all prospective and actual assignees or participants confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 12.05.
Section 12.03. Termination; Survival of Borrower Obligations Upon Commitment Termination Date and Facility Maturity Date.
(a) This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Transaction Document, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by any Affected Party under this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the obligations, duties and liabilities of the Borrower or the rights of any Affected Party relating to any unpaid portion of the Borrower Obligations, due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is required after the Commitment Termination Date or the Facility Maturity Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Transaction Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon the Borrower and all rights of any Affected Party hereunder, all as contained in the Transaction Documents, shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that the rights and remedies provided for herein with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Borrower pursuant to Article IV, the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X and Sections 11.05 and 12.05 shall be continuing and shall survive the Termination Date.
Section 12.04. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all of its special counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors retained in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby and advice in connection therewith). The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel or other advisors (including environmental and management consultants and appraisers) for advice, assistance, or other representation in connection with:
(i) the forwarding to the Borrower or any other Person on behalf of the Borrower by any Lender of any proceeds of Advances made by such Lender hereunder;
(ii) any amendment, modification or waiver (whether or not consummated) of, consent with respect to, or termination of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or advice in connection with the administration hereof or thereof or their respective rights hereunder or thereunder;

(iii) any Litigation, contest or dispute (whether instituted by the Borrower, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person as a party, witness, or otherwise) in any way relating to the Borrower Collateral, any of the Transaction Documents or any other agreement to be executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, including any Litigation, contest, dispute, suit, case, proceeding or action, and any appeal or review thereof, in connection with a case commenced by or against the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person that may be obligated to any Lender or the Administrative Agent by virtue of the Transaction Documents, including any such Litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action arising in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events or Designated Events;
(iv) any attempt to enforce any remedies of a Lender or the Administrative Agent against the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person that may be obligated to them by virtue of any of the Transaction Documents, including any such attempt to enforce any such remedies in the course of any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events or Designated Events;
(v) any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events or Designated Events; and
(vi) efforts to (A) monitor the Advances or any of the Borrower Obligations, (B) evaluate, observe or assess the Sellers, the Parent, the Borrower or the Servicer or their respective affairs, and (C) verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the Borrower Collateral;
including all attorneys’ and other professional and service providers’ fees arising from such services, including those in connection with any appellate proceedings, and all reasonable expenses, costs, charges and other fees incurred by such counsel and others in connection with or relating to any of the events or actions described in this Section 12.04, all of which shall be payable, on demand, by the Borrower to the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such expenses, costs, charges and fees may include: fees, costs and expenses of accountants, environmental advisors, appraisers, investment bankers, management and other consultants and paralegals; court costs and expenses; photocopying and duplication expenses; court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; air express charges; telegram or facsimile charges; secretarial overtime charges; and expenses for travel, lodging and food paid or incurred in connection with the performance of such legal or other advisory services.
Section 12.05. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), and will not use such confidential Information for any purpose or in any matter except in connection with this Agreement, except that Information may be disclosed (1) to (i) each Affected Party (ii) its and each Affected Party’s and their respective Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and to not disclose or use such Information in violation of Regulation FD (17 C.F.R. § 243.100-243.103)) and (iii) industry trade organizations for inclusion in league table measurements, (2) any regulatory authority (it being understood that it will to the extent reasonably practicable provide the Borrower with an opportunity to request confidential treatment from such regulatory authority), (3) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (4) to any other party to this Agreement, (5) to the extent required in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, the Parent and Servicer relating to the Borrower, the Servicer, the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof or their businesses, or any Obligor, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent, Borrower or Servicer. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall (i) exercise the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information and (ii) be deemed to have complied with its obligation to do so by exercising such degree of care.
Section 12.06. Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the complete agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and may not be modified, altered or amended except as set forth in Section 12.07.
Section 12.07. Amendments and Waivers.
(a) Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and by the Requisite Lenders or, to the extent required under clause (b) below, by all affected Lenders and the Swing Line Lender, to the extent required under clause (b) or clause (c) below, by the Administrative Agent. Except as set forth in clause (b) below, all amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders without specifying the required percentage of Lenders shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders.
(b) (i) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, do any of the following: (1) increase the principal amount of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment; (2) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or Fees payable with respect to any Advance made by any affected Lender; (3) extend any scheduled payment date or final maturity date of the principal amount of any Advance of any affected Lender; (4) waive, forgive, defer, extend or postpone any payment of interest or Fees (other than any fees contemplated by Section 2.11(f) hereof) as to any affected Lender; (5) change the percentage of the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount, the Aggregate Commitment or of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount which shall be required for Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder; (6) release all or a substantial portion of the Borrower Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms hereof (including, without limitation, Section 2.04 hereof)); (7) change the definition of the term “Borrowing Base” and any defined terms materially that comprise and/or affect such term including, without limitation, the defined terms “Eligible Receivable” and “Dynamic Advance Rate” and the defined terms materially affecting calculation of such defined terms; (8) change the definition of the term “Required Remedies Lenders” or (9) amend or waive this Section 12.07 or the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” insofar as such definition affects the substance of this Section 12.07.

(ii) Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be required for the Administrative Agent to take additional Borrower Collateral pursuant to any Transaction Document. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the holder of such Note. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 12.07 shall be binding upon each holder of a Note at the time outstanding and each future holder of a Note.
(c) Upon indefeasible payment in full in cash and performance of all of the Borrower Obligations (other than indemnification obligations under Section 10.01), termination of the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount and a release of all claims against the Administrative Agent and Lenders, and so long as no suits, actions, proceedings or claims are pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person asserting any damages, losses or liabilities that are Indemnified Liabilities, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower termination statements and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Borrower Obligations.
Section 12.08. No Waiver; Remedies. The failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Borrower or the Servicer of any provision of this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Transaction Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of any Lender or the Administrative Agent thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Borrower or the Servicer contained in this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Transaction Document, and no breach or default by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by any Lender or the Administrative Agent unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of the applicable Lenders and the Administrative Agent and directed to the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, specifying such suspension or waiver. The rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may have hereunder, thereunder, under any other agreement, by operation of law or otherwise. Recourse to the Borrower Collateral shall not be required.
Section 12.09. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT EXPRESSLY
Third Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
61
PROVIDES TO THE CONTRARY) AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATION WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST), BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS).
(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED, FURTHER THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE ANY LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE BORROWER COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE BORROWER OBLIGATIONS, OR PRECLUDE ANY PARTY HERETO TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF SUCH PARTY. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 12.01 HEREOF AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
(c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL

Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

(b) the maximum amount (after giving effect to any prior drawings or reductions which may have been reimbursed) of all letters of credit (including standby and commercial), bankers’ acceptances, bank guaranties, surety bonds, performance bonds and similar instruments issued or created by or for the account of such Person;
(c) net obligations of such Person under any Swap Contract;
(d) all obligations of such Person to pay the deferred purchase price of property or services (other than (i) trade accounts payable in the ordinary course of business and (ii) any earn-out obligation until such obligation becomes a liability on the balance sheet of such Person in accordance with GAAP);
(e) indebtedness (excluding prepaid interest thereon) secured by a Lien on property owned or being purchased by such Person (including indebtedness arising under conditional sales or other title retention agreements and mortgage, industrial revenue bond, industrial development bond and similar financings), whether or not such indebtedness shall have been assumed by such Person or is limited in recourse;
(f) all Attributable Indebtedness;
(g) all obligations of such Person in respect of Disqualified Equity Interests; and
(h) all Guarantees of such Person in respect of any of the foregoing.

FIXED CHARGE COVERAGE RATIO
1. Definition of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.
“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the ratio of EBITDA of such Person for such period to the Fixed Charges of such Person for such period. In the event that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) or issues or redeems Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.
For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and disposed operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) that have been made by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and disposed operations (and the change in any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed operation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.
For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in the first paragraph of this definition. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.
