Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.9(e), in no event will Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer be required to pay any amount to Borrowing Representative pursuant to this Section 3.9(e) if such payment would place Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.

Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed Interest Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Rate Loan must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000. Any such election must be made by Borrowing Representative by 2:00 p.m. on the second Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Loan which is to bear interest at LIBOR, (2) the end of each Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which Borrowers wish to convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period designated by the Borrowing Representative in such election.

Agent will, with reasonable promptness, notify the Borrowing Representative and the Lenders of each determination of the LIBOR Rate; provided that any failure to do so shall not relieve any Borrower of any liability hereunder or provide the basis for any claim against Agent. All conversions and continuations shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans held by each Lender with respect to which the notice was given.

4.3 Accounting of Loans.

(a) Agent is authorized by Borrowers to record on its books or records the date, principal amount, amount and date of all payments of principal of and interest on each Loan, and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence as to all such information contained therein. Agent shall provide Borrowing Representative on a monthly basis with a statement and accounting of such recordations but any failure on the part of Agent to keep such recordation (or any errors therein) or to send a statement thereof to Borrowing Representative shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) any Loans. Except to the extent that Borrowing Representative shall, within sixty (60) days after such statement and accounting is sent, notify Agent in writing of any objection any Borrower may have thereto (stating with particularity the basis for such objection), such statement and accounting shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers, absent manifest error.

(b) Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers and the other Credit Parties solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 4.3, shall establish and maintain (i) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of Agent, each Lender and each LC Issuer in the Term Loan, each Incremental Term Loan, the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan, Letter of Credit and Letter of Credit Obligations, 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 (A) the names and addresses of Lenders and the LC Issuers (and each change thereto pursuant to this Agreement), (B) the Commitments of each Lender, (C) the amount of each Loan, and for LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (D) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, (E) the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations due and payable or paid in respect of Letters of Credit and (F) any other payment received by Agent from a Borrower or other Credit Party and its application to the Obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Loans and, in the case of Revolving Loans, the corresponding obligations to participate in Letter of Credit Obligations) are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of Lenders and LC Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section shall be construed so that the Loans 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.

(d) Credit Parties, Agent, Lenders and LC Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or any LC Issuer shall be available for access by Borrowers, Borrowing Representative, Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer during normal business hours and from time to time upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice. No Lender or LC Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender or LC Issuer unless otherwise agreed by Agent.

4.4 Payments by Lenders to Agent; Settlement.

(a) Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, disburse funds to Borrowers for Loans requested. Each Lender shall reimburse Agent on demand for all funds disbursed on its behalf by Agent, or if Agent so requests, each Lender will remit to Agent its Commitment Percentage of any Loan before Agent disburses same to Borrowers. If Agent elects to require that each Lender make funds available to Agent prior to disbursement by Agent to Borrowers, Agent shall advise each Lender by electronic transmission of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loan requested by Borrowing Representative no later than the Business Day prior to the scheduled borrowing date applicable thereto, and each such Lender shall pay Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Agent’s account, as designated by Agent to such Lender, no later than 1:00 p.m. on such scheduled Borrowing date. Nothing in this Section 4.4(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Agent, any Lender or Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

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

(c) Agent may assume that each Revolving Lender will make its Commitment Percentage of each Revolving Loan available to Agent on each borrowing date. If such Commitment Percentage is not, in fact, paid to Agent by such Revolving Lender when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Revolving Lender fails to pay the amount of its Commitment Percentage forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowing Representative and Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Revolving Lender or to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrowers may have against any Revolving Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Lender hereunder. Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.4, to the extent that Agent advances funds to Borrowers on behalf of any Revolving Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance from the date such advance was made until reimbursed by the applicable Revolving Lender.

(d) (i) If 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 Agent from Borrowers and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

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

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

(ii) If any Revolving Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, all or a portion of such Non-Funding Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations (unless such Lender is the LC Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit) shall, at Agent’s election at any time or upon any LC Issuer’s, written request delivered to Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default), be reallocated to and assumed by the Revolving Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (calculated as if the Non-Funding Lender’s Commitment Percentage was reduced to zero and each other Revolving Lender’s (other than any other Non-Funding Lender’s or Impacted Lender’s) Commitment Percentage had been increased proportionately), provided that no Revolving Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any amounts that would cause the sum of its outstanding Revolving Loans and outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations to exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment.

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

(iv) Agent shall be authorized to use all payments received by Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount (as defined below) to the appropriate Secured Parties. Following such payment in full of the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, Agent shall be entitled to hold such funds as cash collateral in a non-interest bearing account up to an amount equal to such Non-Funding Lender’s unfunded Revolving Loan Commitment and to use such amount to pay such Non-Funding Lender’s funding obligations hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, all Letter of Credit Obligations have been discharged or cash collateralized and all Commitments have been terminated. Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. With respect to such Non-Funding Lender’s failure to fund Revolving Loans or purchase participations in Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligations, any amounts applied by Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a Revolving Loan or amount of the participation required to be funded and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit participation interests from the other Revolving Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. In the event that Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to clause (v) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender. The “Aggregate Excess Funding Amount” of a Non-Funding Lender shall be the aggregate amount of (A) all unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to Agent, LC Issuers, and other Lenders under the Loan Documents, including such Lender’s pro rata share of all Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, plus, without duplication, (B) all amounts of such Non-Funding Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations.

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

(vi) A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and Borrowers shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the unused line fee, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5.1(c).

(f) Agent is hereby authorized by each Credit Party and each other Secured Party to establish procedures (and to amend such procedures from time to time) to facilitate administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters incidental thereto.

5. INTEREST AND FEES

5.1 Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest.

(i) Except as modified by Section 5.1(a)(iii) below, Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loans for each day they are outstanding at the Interest Rate applicable to such Loan. Interest with respect to a Revolving Loan begins to accrue as soon as such Revolving Loan is made or deemed to be made. Interest will continue to accrue until payment in full of the Obligations. Interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Interest on Revolving Loans shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month for interest accrued during the preceding month and upon termination of this Agreement. Interest on the Term Loan and Incremental Term Loans shall be payable in arrears on the day on which the scheduled principal payments are required to be made under the applicable Term Note for interest accrued since the immediately preceding payment date and upon termination of this Agreement.

(ii) Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the Interest Rate shall automatically be increased to the Default Rate, and all outstanding Obligations shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate interest exceed the maximum rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, as in effect from time to time (the “Maximum Legal Rate”) and if any provision of this Agreement or Loan Document is in contravention of any such law or regulation, interest payable under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall be computed on the basis of the Maximum Legal Rate (so that such interest will not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate) and once the amount of interest payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents is less than the Maximum Legal Rate, the amount of interest payable hereunder or any Loan Document shall not be reduced below the amount computed based upon the Maximum Legal Rate until the aggregate amount of interest paid equals the amount of interest which would have been payable if the Maximum Legal Rate had not been imposed.

(b) Borrowers shall pay principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any Loan Document, without any deduction whatsoever, including any deduction for any set-off or counterclaim.

(i) Unused Line Fee. An unused line fee equal to the Unused Line Fee Percentage per annum of the amount by which (i) the Maximum Revolving Amount, exceeds (ii) the average daily outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan during the immediately preceding month (or part thereof), which each such fee shall be deemed to be fully earned and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month until the Termination Date.

(ii) Upfront Fee. On the Effective Date, Borrowers shall pay Agent for the benefit of each Lender having a Term Loan Commitment, an upfront fee in the amount of $69,462.

As of the Effective Date, each Loan Document shall have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Credit Party, and each such Loan Document upon such execution and delivery shall be and will continue to be a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

7.4 Financial Statements; Books and Records.

(a) The Financial Statements delivered by Initial Borrower to Agent and each Lender for its most recently ended Fiscal Year and Fiscal Quarter, are true, correct and complete and reflect fairly and accurately the financial condition of Initial Borrower on a consolidated and consolidating basis as of the date of each such Financial Statement in accordance with GAAP.

7.5 Material Adverse Change. Between the date of each Credit Party’s most recent Financial Statements delivered to Agent and each Lender and the Effective Date: (a) no Credit Party has incurred any obligations, contingent or non-contingent liabilities, or liabilities for Charges, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments which could, alone or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (b) no events have occurred which alone or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No Credit Party is in default, and to each Credit Party’s knowledge no third party is in default, under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations, which alone or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.6 Real Estate; Property. The real estate listed in Disclosure Schedule 7.6 constitutes all of the real property owned, leased, or used by each Credit Party in its business (the “Real Property”) as of the Effective Date, and no Credit Party will execute any material agreement or contract in respect of such real estate (other than renewals of leases with respect thereto) after the date of this Agreement without giving Agent prompt prior written notice thereof. Each Credit Party holds and will continue to hold good and marketable fee simple title to all of its owned real estate, and good and marketable title to all of its other properties and assets, and valid and insurable leasehold interests in all of its leases (both as lessor and lessee, sublessee or assignee), and none of the properties and assets of any Credit Party are or will be subject to any Liens, except Permitted Liens.

The making of a Loan, the application of the proceeds and repayment thereof, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents do not and will not violate the Certificate or Articles of Incorporation and By-laws or other organizational or governing documents of such Credit Party or any Requirement of Law. No Credit Party is engaged, nor will it engage 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 hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”).

Proper and accurate amounts have been and will be withheld by each Credit Party from its employees for all periods in complete compliance with all Requirements of Law and such withholdings have and will be timely paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities. Disclosure Schedule 7.9 sets forth as of the Effective Date those taxable years for which each Credit Party’s tax returns are currently being audited by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority and any assessments or threatened assessments in connection with such audit, or otherwise currently outstanding. Except as described on Disclosure Schedule 7.9, no Credit Party is as of the Effective Date liable for any Charges: (a) under any agreement (including any tax sharing agreements or agreement extending the period of assessment of any Charges) or (b) to any Credit Party’s knowledge, as a transferee. As of the Effective Date, no Credit Party has agreed or been requested to make any adjustment under IRC Section 481(a), by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.10 Payment of Obligations. Each Credit Party will pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all of its Charges and other obligations of whatever nature, except where the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and reserves, in conformity with GAAP, with respect thereto have been provided on the books of such Credit Party and none of the Collateral is or could reasonably be expected to become subject to any Lien or forfeiture or loss as a result of such contest.

7.11 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other existing ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in a liability of any Credit Party of more than the Minimum Actionable Amount. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of any Credit Party under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent Financial Statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by more than the Minimum Actionable Amount, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Account Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent Financial Statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such underfunded Plans by more than the Minimum Actionable Amount. No Credit Party has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any Withdrawal Liability in excess of the Minimum Actionable Amount.

7.12 Litigation. No Litigation is pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened by or against any Credit Party or against any Credit Party’s properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Disclosure Schedule 7.12, as of the Effective Date there is no Litigation pending or threatened against any Credit Party which seeks damages in excess of the Minimum Actionable Amount or injunctive relief or alleges criminal misconduct of any Credit Party. Each Credit Party shall notify Agent in writing within five (5) Business Days of learning of the existence, threat or commencement of any Litigation against any Credit Party or any Plan or any allegation of criminal misconduct against any Credit Party.

7.13 Intellectual Property. As of the Effective Date, all material Intellectual Property owned or used by each Credit Party is listed, together with application or registration numbers, where applicable, in Disclosure Schedule 7.13. Each Credit Party is the sole legal and beneficial owner, or is licensed on commercial terms to use, all Intellectual Property necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted except for such Intellectual Property the failure of which to own or license could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party will maintain the patenting and registration of all Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, or other appropriate Governmental Authority and each Credit Party will promptly patent or register, as the case may be, all new Intellectual Property and notify Agent in writing five (5) Business Days prior to filing any such new patent or registration.

7.14 Full Disclosure. No information contained in any Loan Document, the Financial Statements or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party under any Loan Document, or to induce Agent and Lenders to execute the Loan Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.

7.15 Hazardous Materials. Except as set forth on Disclosure Schedule 7.15, as of the Effective Date, (a) no Credit Party is subject to any Environmental Liabilities or, to any Credit Party’s knowledge, potential Environmental Liabilities, in excess of the Minimum Actionable Amount in the aggregate, (b) no notice has been received by any Credit Party identifying it as a “potentially responsible party” or requesting information under CERCLA or analogous state statutes, and to the knowledge of any Credit Party, there are no facts, circumstances or conditions that may result in such Credit Party being identified as a “potentially responsible party” under CERCLA or analogous state statutes; and (c) each Credit Party has provided to Agent copies of all existing environmental reports, reviews and audits and all written information pertaining to actual or potential Environmental Liabilities, in each case relating to any Credit Party. Each Credit Party: (i) shall comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws and environmental permits; (ii) shall notify Agent in writing within seven (7) days if and when it becomes aware of any Release, on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Property; and (iii) shall promptly forward to Agent a copy of any order, notice, permit, application, or any communication or report received by it or any Credit Party in connection with any such Release.

7.16 Insurance. Disclosure Schedule 7.16 lists all insurance of any nature maintained as of the Effective Date for current occurrences by Borrowers, as well as a summary of the terms of such insurance. Each Credit Party shall deliver to Agent certified copies and endorsements to all of its (a) “All Risk” and business interruption insurance policies naming Agent as loss payee, and (b) general liability and other liability policies naming Agent as an additional insured. All policies of insurance on real and personal property will contain an endorsement, in form and substance acceptable to Agent, showing lender loss payable to Agent (Form 438 BFU or equivalent) and extra expense and business interruption endorsements. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to Agent, will provide that the insurance companies will give Agent at least thirty (30) days prior written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance shall be altered or canceled and that no act or default of any Credit Party or any other Person shall affect the right of Agent or Lenders to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in case of loss or damage.

7.17 Deposit and Disbursement Accounts. Disclosure Schedule 7.17 lists as of the Effective Date all banks and other financial institutions at which each Credit Party, maintains deposits and/or other accounts and correctly identifies the name, address and telephone number of each such depository, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number.

7.18 Accounts. No Credit Party has made, nor will any Credit Party make, any agreement with any Account Debtor for any extension of time for the payment of any Account, any compromise or settlement for less than the full amount thereof, any release of any Account Debtor from liability therefor, or any deduction therefrom except a discount or allowance for prompt or early payment allowed by a Credit Party and such other compromises or settlements in the ordinary course of its business consistent with historical practice of such Credit Party. With respect to the Accounts pledged as collateral pursuant to any Loan Document (a) the amounts shown on all invoices, statements and reports which may be delivered to Agent with respect thereto are actually and absolutely owing to a Credit Party as indicated thereon and are not in any way contingent; (b) no payments have been or shall be made thereon except payments immediately delivered to Agent as required hereunder; and (c) to each Credit Party’s knowledge all Account Debtors have the capacity to contract.

7.19 Conduct of Business.

Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale, to the extent permitted by law, to purchase for the benefit of Secured Parties the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity of redemption, which right each Credit Party hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice. Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Credit Party’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Credit Party’s premises without rent or other charge for such sales or other action with respect to the Collateral for such time as Agent deems necessary or advisable.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and expiration of any applicable cure period, and at Agent’s request, each Credit Party further agrees to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at places which Agent shall reasonably select, whether at its premises or elsewhere. Agent shall have no obligation to any Credit Party to maintain or preserve the rights of any Credit Party as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Agent. Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Agent’s remedies with respect thereto without prior notice or hearing. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Credit Party waives all claims, damages, and demands against Agent, its Affiliates, agents, and the officers and employees of any of them arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of any Collateral except such as are determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. Each Credit Party agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by Agent to each Credit Party of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Each Credit Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Agent and Lenders are entitled.

(d) Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies which Agent or any Lender may have under any other Loan Document or at law or in equity. Recourse to the Collateral shall not be required. All provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited, to the extent necessary, so that they do not render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.

12.3 Waivers. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Credit Party waives: (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Loan Documents, the Notes, Accounts, Contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent or any Lender on which any Credit Party may in any way be liable; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Agent’s taking possession or control of, or to Agent’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any of its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws. Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.

12.4 Proceeds. The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon any Collateral shall be applied by Agent upon receipt to the Obligations in such order as Agent may deem advisable in its sole discretion (including the cash collateralization of any Letter of Credit Obligations) and after the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations, and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including the UCC, the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Borrowers or their representatives or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Without limiting the foregoing, Agent:

Each Lender and LC Issuer releases, and agrees that it will not assert, any claim against Agent or its Related Persons that in any way relates to any Agent Report or arises out of any Lender or LC Issuer having access to any Agent Report or any discussion of its contents, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and its Related Persons from all claims, liabilities and expenses relating to a breach by any Lender or LC Issuer arising out of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s access to any Agent Report or any discussion of its contents.

13.6 Agent Individually. Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Stock of, engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “Revolving Lender”, “Required Lender” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include, without limitation, Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender, Revolving Lender or as one of Required Lenders respectively.

13.7 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender and each LC Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including any offering and disclosure materials in connection with the syndication of the Loans) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate.

13.8 Expenses; Indemnities; Withholding.

(a) Each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party) promptly upon demand, severally and ratably, for any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Credit Party) that may be incurred by Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including, without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.

(b) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party), severally and ratably, from and against liabilities (including taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.

(c) To the extent required by any applicable law, Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate certification form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), or Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender shall promptly indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by Agent, including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses. Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender.

13.9 Resignation of Agent .

(a) Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to Lenders and Borrowing Representative, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective in accordance with the terms of this Section 13.9. If Agent delivers any such notice, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If, after thirty (30) days after the date of retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, no successor Agent has been appointed by Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent from among Lenders. Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrowing Representative, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(b) Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Agent until a successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly acting as Agent under the Loan Documents and (iv) the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Agent, a successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents.

13.10 Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender and LC Issuer hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Agent to release (or, in the case of Section 13.10(b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:

(a) any Subsidiary of Borrowers from its guaranty of any Obligation if all of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary owned by any Credit Party are sold or transferred in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent); and

Each Lender and LC Issuer hereby directs Agent, and Agent hereby agrees, upon receipt of notice from the Borrowing Representative, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the guaranties and Liens when and as directed in this Section 13.10.

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that, together with each other Borrower, it is part of an affiliated common enterprise in which any loans or other financial accommodations extended to any one Borrower will result in direct and substantial economic benefit to each other Borrower, and each Borrower will likewise benefit from the economies of scale associated with Borrowers, as a group, applying for credit or other financial accommodations on a collective basis.

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Representative to be its agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers, and hereby authorizes Agent and Lenders to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Representative.

(c) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a Borrowing Representative in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce Agent and Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby indemnifies Agent and Lenders and holds Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as provided herein, reliance by Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer on any request or instruction from Borrowing Representative or any other action taken by Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer with respect to this Section 14.4 except due to willful misconduct or gross negligence by the indemnified party.

(d) All Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Borrower shall make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer to any Borrower, failure of Agent or any Lender to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Agent or any Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Borrower, the release by Agent of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Borrower, and such agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer to the other Borrowers or any Collateral for such Borrower’s Obligations or the lack thereof.

14.5 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Secured Parties and its successors and assigns the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Secured Parties by each Borrower. Each Guarantor agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and that its obligations shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:

(a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Documents;

(b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 14.5) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by any Secured Party with respect to any of the provisions hereof or thereof;

(c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by any Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

(d) the insolvency of any Credit Party; or

(e) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor,

it being agreed by each Guarantor that its obligations shall not be discharged until the payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred. Each Guarantor shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.

14.6 Waivers. Each Credit Party expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent or any Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations against any other Credit Party, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Credit Party. It is agreed among each Credit Party, Agent and Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 14.6 and such waivers, Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.

14.7 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Credit Party agrees that the provisions of Section 14.5 are for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Credit Party and any Secured Party, the obligations of such other Credit Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

14.8 Subordination of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Documents, each Credit Party hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Credit Party’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of Section 14.5.

14.9 Election of Remedies. If Agent or any Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document giving Agent a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Agent and Lenders may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under Section 14.5. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, any Secured Party shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Credit Party hereby consents to such action by Agent and Lenders and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent or any Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation which such Credit Party might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent or any Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party shall not impair any other Credit Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event Agent or any Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent or such Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent or such Lender but may be credited against the Obligations. The difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under Section 14.5 notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

14.10 Liability Cumulative. The liability of Credit Parties under Section 14.5 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Credit Party to Secured Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Credit Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

14.11 Waiver of Subrogation. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Borrowers’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.

14.12 Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Borrower, the other Credit Parties signatory hereto and Agent and when Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, each Borrower, the other Credit Parties hereto, Agent, each Lender and each LC Issuer receiving the benefits of the Loan Documents and each other Secured Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document none of any Borrower, any other Credit Party, any LC Issuer or Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.

(b) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (each, an “Assignment”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to (i) any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender), (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender) or (iii) any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to Agent and as long as no Event of Default is continuing, Borrowers (which acceptances shall be deemed to have been given unless an objection is delivered to Agent within five (5) Business Days after notice of a proposed Assignment is delivered to Borrowing Representative); provided, however, that (w) for each Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans, Commitments and Letter of Credit Obligations subject to any such Assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, unless such Assignment is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior consent of Borrowers (to the extent required) and Agent, (x) such Assignment shall be effective only upon the acknowledgement in writing of such sale by Agent, (y) interest accrued prior to and through the date of any such Assignment may not be assigned, and (z) such Assignment by Lenders who are Non-Funding Lenders due to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall be subject to Agent’s prior written consent in all instances, unless in connection with such Assignment, such Non-Funding Lender cures, or causes the cure of, its Non-Funding Lender status. Agent’s refusal to accept a sale to a Credit Party, an Affiliate of a Credit Party, a holder of Subordinated Debt or an Affiliate of such a holder, or to any Person that would be a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable.

(c) Procedure. The parties to each sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment Agreement evidencing such sale, together with any existing Note subject to such sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to Agent, unless waived or reduced by Agent; provided, that (i) if a sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such sale, and (ii) if a sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such Assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such sale (unless waived or reduced by Agent). Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such assignment is made in accordance with clause (iii) of Section 14.12(b), upon Agent (and Borrowers, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment Agreement.

(d) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by Agent in the Register, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 14.12, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s indebtedness or equity securities, by notice to Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

(f) Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 14.12, each Lender may, (x) with notice to Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (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) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from Agent or any Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loan and Letters of Credit); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Credit Parties and Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.9 and 3.10, but, with respect to Section 3.9, only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms required pursuant to Section 3.9(f) as if it were a Lender and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in a notice provided to Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 14.2(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in clause (v) of Section 14.2(a). No party hereto shall institute (and Borrowers shall cause each other Credit Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person against any liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnified Person as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to be reimbursed by such SPV for any such liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations.

(g) A Lender that makes a grant to an SPV or sells a participation pursuant to Section 14.12(f) shall, acting solely as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers and the other Credit Parties, maintain a register similar to the Register (the “Participant Register”) on which it enters the name and address of each participant or SPV and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s or SPV’s interest in the Loans or other Obligations under the Loan Documents. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such interest for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

14.13 Set-off; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Right of Setoff. Each of Agent, each Lender, each LC Issuer and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by Agent, such Lender, such LC Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers or any other Credit Party against any Obligation of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. No Lender or LC Issuer shall exercise any such right of setoff without the prior consent of Agent or Required Lenders. Each of Agent, each Lender and each LC Issuer agrees promptly to notify Borrowing Representative and Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 14.13 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Agent, Lenders, LC Issuer, their Affiliates and the other Secured Parties, may have.

(b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender, Agent or LC Issuer directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Credit Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or Proceeds) and such payment exceeds the amount Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of Borrowers, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (i) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender, Agent or LC Issuer in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender, Agent or LC Issuer without interest and (ii) such Lender, Agent or LC Issuer shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender, Agent or LC Issuer were the direct creditor of the applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation. If a Non-Funding Lender receives any such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall turn over such payments to Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral requirements set forth in this Agreement.

14.14 Replacement of Lender. Within forty-five (45) days after: any failure by any Lender to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which Required Lenders have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender (or each Lender directly affected thereby, as applicable) is required with respect thereto, Borrowers may, at its option, notify Agent and such Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender) of Borrowers’ intention to obtain, at Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender), which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. In the event Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender within forty-five (45) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender) shall sell and assign its Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender, at par, provided that Borrowers have reimbursed such Affected Lender for any increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 14.14 and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 14.14, Borrowers shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment so executed by Borrowers, the Replacement Lender and Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 14.14 and Section 14.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain a Replacement Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender at any time with three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender (unless notice is not practicable under the circumstances) and cause such Lender’s Loans and Commitments to be sold and assigned, in whole or in part, at par. Upon any such assignment and payment, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.

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

14.16 Actions in Concert. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights against any Credit Party arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent or Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

14.17 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the various provisions of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

14.18 Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any notice, demand, request or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any party by any other party, or whenever any party desires to give or serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three (3) days after deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by telecopy or other similar facsimile transmission (with such telecopy or facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as otherwise provided in this Section 14.18, (c) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid or (d) when hand-delivered, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number indicated in Schedule III or to such other address (or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided or may be set forth in an Assignment Agreement.

14.19 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

14.20 Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of Credit Parties, Agent and Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Borrower, Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto and thereto, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Any signature delivered by a party via facsimile or electronic transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

14.21 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY: (a) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; (b) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME; (c) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO IT AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SCHEDULE III TO THIS AGREEMENT OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH AGENT SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED PURSUANT TO SECTION 14.19; AND (d) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO XXX IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

14.22 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY, CERTAIN DAMAGES AND SETOFFS. IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO OR THERETO, (A) EACH OF EACH CREDIT PARTY, AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND (B) EACH OF EACH CREDIT PARTY, AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, ACTUAL DAMAGES. EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT THIS SECTION 14.22 IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LENDERS WOULD NOT EXTEND TO ANY BORROWER ANY LOANS HEREUNDER IF THIS SECTION 14.25 WERE NOT PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.

14.23 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF

14.24 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or restored by Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Credit Party, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
