Agent, Lender, Borrower and Guarantor are parties to a Master Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 28, 2014 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Loan Agreement”). Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1 below, the parties hereto agree to amend and restate the Existing Loan Agreement as herein set forth. Certain defined terms used herein are identified in bold face and quotation marks throughout this Loan Agreement and in Section 18 below. This Loan Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for the financing of Equipment between Lender and Borrower pursuant to one or more promissory notes incorporating by reference the terms of this Loan Agreement, together with all exhibits, addenda, schedules, certificates, riders and other documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection with such equipment note (each, an "Equipment Note"; provided that each Existing Equipment Note shall constitute an Equipment Note hereunder). Each Equipment Note constitutes a separate, distinct and independent financing of Equipment and contractual obligation of Borrower. Lender shall not be obligated under any circumstances to make any Advance (as hereinafter defined) or to enter into any Equipment Note if there shall have occurred a Default or an Event of Default.
1. Amendment and Restatement; Effectiveness. The amendment and restatement of the Existing Loan Agreement in the form hereof shall become effective (the “Closing Date”) upon (i) execution of this Loan Agreement by Agent, Lender, Borrower and Guarantor, (ii) execution of the Guaranty by Guarantor, (iii) execution of the Assignment Agreement by all parties thereto, (iv) receipt by Borrower of the duly executed Master Assignment and Assumption, dated as of the Closing Date, among Citizens Asset Finance, Inc. (formerly known as RBS Asset Finance, Inc.) (“Citizens”), U.S. Bank Equipment Finance, a division of U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”), as assignors, the other financial institutions party thereto, as assignees, and Agent, in the form of Annex I hereto and (iv) an opinion letter of inhouse counsel to Guarantor. On the Closing Date, (i) this Loan Agreement shall amend and restate the Existing Loan Agreement, (ii) each Existing Equipment Note shall constitute an Equipment Note hereunder and (iii) each Existing Advance shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder (and shall constitute usage of the Maximum Loan Amount). For the avoidance of doubt, (A) each Existing Equipment Note shall be governed by this Loan Agreement but shall otherwise remain payable on the terms set forth therein and (B) the portion of each Existing Advance that remains unpaid on the Closing Date shall remain owing hereunder and under the applicable Existing Equipment Note pursuant to the terms of such Existing Equipment Note.
2. Equipment Notes; Grant of Security Interest. Lender agrees to finance Equipment described in one or more Equipment Notes entered into from time to time, together with all other documentation required pursuant to Section 4 hereunder, by making Advances to Borrower evidenced by Equipment Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed ONE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($150,000,000) (the "Maximum Loan Amount"). To secure the punctual payment and performance of Borrower’s Obligations under each Equipment Note and, as a separate grant of security, to secure the payment and performance of all other Obligations owing to Lender, Borrower grants to Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lender, a continuing security interest in all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to all Equipment, together with: (i) all parts, attachments, accessories and accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, each item of Equipment; (ii) all accounts, chattel paper, and general intangibles arising from or related to any sale, lease, rental or other disposition of any Equipment to third parties, or otherwise resulting from the possession, use or operation of any Equipment by third parties, including instruments, investment property, letter of credit rights, and supporting obligations arising thereunder or in connection therewith; (iii) all insurance, warranty and other claims against third parties with respect to any Equipment; (iv) all software and other intellectual property rights used in connection therewith; (v) proceeds of all of the foregoing, including insurance proceeds and any proceeds in the form of goods, accounts, chattel paper, documents, instruments, general intangibles, investment property, letter of credit rights and supporting obligations; (vi) all books and records regarding the foregoing, in each case, now existing or hereafter arising ((i) through (vi), the "Equipment Collateral") and (vii) each Lease (as defined below) (the "Lease Collateral" and, together with the Equipment Collateral, the "Collateral"); provided, however, that the Collateral shall not include (A) any software or other property to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein is prohibited by (x) applicable law of any relevant jurisdiction or (y) any license, lease or other agreement or (B) any software that is incorporated into the Equipment by Borrower, Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s
Subsidiaries following purchase of such Equipment by Borrower from the Vendor thereof ((A) and (B), collectively, "Excluded Assets"). Borrower intends to lease, or has leased, all Equipment to Guarantor, Guarantor’s Subsidiaries or, other persons pursuant to one or more equipment lease agreements (as amended, restated or otherwise supplemented from time to time and including any exhibits or schedules thereto, each, a "Lease"). Lender and Agent consent to each Lease. Agent’s security interest in all Collateral relating to Equipment set forth in any Equipment Note shall terminate upon the payment of all Obligations of Borrower under such Equipment Note (other than contingent indemnification obligations with respect to which no claim has been made) and Agent shall promptly, upon such termination, furnish and/or file any applicable partial release, amendment or termination statements relating thereto. Borrower shall have no right to sell any Equipment (other than to fully pay the related Equipment Note) unless all Obligations under the Equipment Note relating to such Equipment have been paid (other than contingent indemnification obligations with respect to which no claim has been made), it being understood that the foregoing shall not restrict any lease by Borrower of such Equipment as long as such lease constitutes Lease Collateral and Lender’s security interest in such Equipment Collateral shall only be released upon payment in full of all Obligations under the Equipment Note relating to such Equipment Collateral (other than contingent indemnification obligations with respect to which no claim has been made).
3. Advances; Fees. From the Closing Date through November 29, 2016 (the "Drawdown Period"), Borrower may request advances hereunder (each, an "Advance" and together, the "Advances"; provided that each Existing Advance shall constitute an Advance hereunder), not more frequently than one (1) Advance per calendar month (it being understood that (i) each Advance may be comprised of advances pursuant to multiple Equipment Notes and (ii) the Existing Advances shall not constitute Advances for purposes of the forgoing limitation) which Advances collectively may not exceed the Maximum Loan Amount. Neither Agent nor Lender shall have any obligation to determine whether any person requesting an Advance is or has been authorized by Borrower. Each Advance shall be evidenced by an Equipment Note for the amount of such Advance, and dated as of the date of such Advance (each an "Advance Date"). Each Equipment Note shall be fully amortizing and have a term not to exceed sixty (60) months following the applicable Advance Date corresponding to such Equipment Note. During the Drawdown Period, Borrower shall pay Lender a fee equal to fifteen hundredths percent (0.15%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) on the daily unused amount of the Maximum Loan Amount (the "Unused Fee"), which Unused Fee shall be calculated on a quarterly basis by Lender and shall be due and payable by Borrower in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing on June 30, 2016. The final Unused Fee shall be payable to Lender on December 31, 2016 unless the Maximum Loan Amount is reduced to zero prior to October 1, 2016.
4. Conditions to Funding each Advance. In order to request an Advance during the Drawdown Period, Borrower shall submit an executed borrowing certificate in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and all related materials required herein, to Agent on or prior to the first business day of the month in which such Advance is to occur (or such later date as Lender may agree in its sole discretion). As long as Agent has received such borrowing certificate and the documentation required by clause (b) below with respect to such Advance by such date, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (a) below on the date of such funding, the funding of the Advance shall occur on the 15th day of such month, or, if the 15th day is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day thereafter. The proceeds of each Advance shall be made by Agent to an account of Borrower specified in advance to Agent by Borrower. The obligation of Lender to make each Advance requested by Borrower hereunder is subject to the fulfillment of each of the following conditions:
(a) Compliance. The representations and warranties contained herein and in each Related Agreement shall be correct in all material respects on and as of such Advance Date (except those representations and warranties that expressly relate to a prior date, which shall be correct in all material respects as of such prior date) and, on and as of such Advance Date, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) Documentation. Lender shall have received each of the following in connection with such Advance: (i) the executed Equipment Note relating to such Advance, (ii) the executed chattel paper original of the applicable Lease relating to the Equipment and securing such Equipment Note and (iii) insurance certificates complying with Section 9.
5. Payments. Each Equipment Note shall provide for scheduled "Payments" of principal and interest payable by Borrower to Lender in the amounts and at the times during the "Equipment Note Term" through and including the "Maturity Date", all as provided in such Equipment Note. All payments made pursuant to any Equipment Note shall be paid to Agent for the benefit of Lender. All payments received by Agent after 1:00 p.m. Eastern on any due date shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue. If any Payment or other amount payable hereunder is not paid within 5 days of its due date, Borrower shall pay an administrative late charge of 2% of the amount not timely paid. All Payments and other amounts payable under an Equipment Note shall be made in immediately available funds at Agent’s address above or such other place as Agent shall specify in writing. Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Equipment Note as provided therein. It is the intention of Lender to comply with all applicable usury laws and, accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Equipment Note, in no event shall any provision herein or therein require or permit interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If necessary to give effect to these provisions, Lender will, at its option, in accordance with applicable law, either refund any amount to Borrower to the extent in excess of that allowed by applicable law, or credit such excess amount against the then unpaid principal balance under the applicable Equipment
Note(s). Unless otherwise provided herein, all amounts received under any Equipment Note will be applied, first, to accrued late charges, fees and other costs and expenses due and owing, second, to accrued interest and, third, to unpaid principal.
6. Unconditional Financing; Disclaimer Of Warranties. Borrower’s Obligations under each Equipment Note (i) shall be non-cancelable, absolute and unconditional under all circumstances for the entire Equipment Note Term relating to such Equipment Note, (ii) shall be unaffected by the loss or destruction of any Equipment, and (iii) shall not be subject to any abatement, deferment, reduction, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or defense for any reason whatsoever. NEITHER LENDER NOR AGENT IS A VENDOR OR AGENT OF ANY VENDOR, OR HAS ENGAGED IN THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OF ANY EQUIPMENT. NEITHER LENDER NOR AGENT MAKES ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, PERFORMANCE, CONDITION, EXISTENCE, FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR BORROWER'S PURPOSES OF ANY EQUIPMENT, THE LACK OF PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS, THE CONFORMITY OF THE EQUIPMENT TO THE DESCRIPTION THEREOF IN ANY EQUIPMENT NOTE OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT. If any Equipment is not delivered or properly installed, does not operate as warranted, becomes obsolete, or is unsatisfactory for any reason, Borrower shall make all claims on account thereof solely against Vendor and not against Lender or Agent. Borrower is solely responsible for the selection, shipment, delivery and installation of the Equipment and its Vendors, expressly disclaims any reliance upon any statements or representations made by Agent or Lender in connection therewith, and has received and approved the terms of any purchase orders, warranties, licenses or agreements with respect to the Equipment. To the extent that the manufacturer of Equipment provides any warranties with respect thereto, Borrower shall be entitled (but not required) to enforce such warranties and obtain at its own expense the customary services furnished by the manufacturer in connection with the Equipment.
7. Use; Maintenance; Location; Inspection. Borrower shall: (i) use, operate, protect and maintain the Equipment (a) in good operating order, repair, condition and appearance, in the same condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted, (b) consistent with prudent industry practice (but in no event less than the extent to which Borrower maintains other similar equipment in the prudent management of its assets and properties), and (c) in compliance with all applicable insurance policies, laws, ordinances, rules and regulations and (ii) keep proper books and records regarding the use, operation, maintenance and repair of the Equipment in a manner consistent with prudent industry practice. Unless Lender so agrees to the contrary in its sole discretion, the Equipment shall be used only within the 48 contiguous United States, solely for business purposes (and not for any consumer, personal, home, or family purpose), and shall not be abandoned or used for any unlawful purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby agrees that Borrower may use the Software in the Permitted Jurisdictions. Except to the extent constituting Excluded Assets, any replacement or substitution of parts, improvements, upgrades, or additions to the Equipment during the Equipment Note Term shall be part of the Collateral subject to Agent’s security interest and subject to the applicable Equipment Note, except that if no Event of Default exists, Borrower may at its expense remove improvements or additions provided by Borrower that can be readily removed without impairing the value, function or remaining useful life of the Equipment. Borrower may remove improvements or additions constituting Excluded Assets from the Equipment at any time. Lender shall have the right (at its sole cost and expense) to enter during normal business hours any premises owned or leased by Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries (including Borrower) where Equipment is located and inspect such Equipment (together with related books and records) at any reasonable time with reasonable prior notice to Guarantor and Borrower.
8. Loss and Damage. Borrower assumes all risk of any damage to or loss, theft, confiscation or destruction of any Equipment from any cause whatsoever (a "Casualty"). On a quarterly basis within 60 days of the end of such quarter, Borrower shall notify Lender by submitting a written report (such quarterly reports, the “Equipment Casualty Reports”) of all Casualties relating to the Equipment that occurred in such quarter, to the extent that such Casualties have been reported to Guarantor’s asset management personnel in the ordinary course at least 15 days prior to the date of such report (such Equipment listed in the Equipment Casualty Reports hereinafter referred to as, the “Casualty Equipment”). Borrower shall at its option prior to the date of the next scheduled Equipment Casualty Report, (a) replace such Casualty Equipment with a similar item reasonably acceptable to Lender having an equivalent or greater value, utility and remaining useful life of the Casualty Equipment so replaced, and provide Lender with the make, model, vintage, serial number and all other information relating to such replacement Equipment reasonably required by Lender, whereupon such replacement items shall constitute Equipment and Collateral for all purposes hereunder and the applicable Equipment Note, (b) place such Casualty Equipment in good repair, condition and working order or (c) pay Agent the Prepayment Amount for such Casualty Equipment not addressed by paragraph (a) or (b) above, together with the Payment scheduled for payment on such date, and all accrued interest, late charges and other amounts then due and owing under the applicable Equipment Note. Upon a payment contemplated by paragraph (c) above, the Equipment Note with respect to the applicable Equipment shall be deemed discharged, and Agent’s security interest in such Equipment shall terminate (it being understood that if less than all Equipment under the applicable Equipment Note is treated in accordance with paragraph (c) above, (i) the Prepayment Amount with respect to any such item of Casualty Equipment shall be calculated by reference to the allocable portion of the unpaid principal balance of the applicable Equipment Note, as reasonably determined by Lender (in consultation with Borrower), and (ii) the remaining Payments under the Equipment Note shall be proportionately reduced as reasonably calculated by Lender (in consultation with Borrower) upon Agent’s receipt of the payments described in paragraph (c) above).
9. Insurance. Borrower, at its own expense, shall keep each item of Equipment insured against all risks for its replacement value, and in no event less than its Prepayment Amount, and shall maintain public liability and, with respect to any Equipment that is over-the-road vehicles, automotive liability insurance against such risks and for such amounts as Lender may reasonably require. All such insurance shall (a) be with companies rated “A-” or better by A.M. Best Company, (b) specify Agent, for the benefit of Lender, as an additional insured (liability insurance) or loss payee (property insurance) and provide that it may not be canceled or materially altered in any way that would adversely affect the interest of Lender without at least 30 days' prior written notice to Agent (10 days' in the case of nonpayment of premium), (c) be primary, without right of contribution from any other insurance carried by Agent and contain waiver of subrogation and “breach of warranty” provisions, and (d) provide that all amounts payable by reason of loss or damage to Equipment shall be payable solely to Agent for the benefit of Lender, unless Lender otherwise agrees. Borrower shall provide Lender with evidence of the required insurance in the form of Certificates of Insurance upon the execution of any Equipment Note and promptly upon any renewal of any required policy.
10. Indemnities; Taxes. Borrower's indemnity and reimbursement obligations set forth below shall survive the cancellation, termination or expiration of any Equipment Note or this Loan Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to an Indemnified Person with respect to indemnified liabilities which have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person, as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, or which have resulted from a claim brought by Borrower against an Indemnified Person for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Person’s obligations hereunder in which Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Borrower, any of Borrower’s equity holders or creditors, an Indemnified Person or any other person or entity, whether or not an Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto.
(b) General Tax Indemnity. Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lender, and indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from, on an after-tax basis, all taxes, assessments and other like governmental charges paid or required to be paid by Lender or Borrower in any way arising out of or related to the Equipment or any Equipment Note before or during the Equipment Note Term or after the Equipment Note Term following an Event of Default, including foreign, Federal, state, county and municipal fees, taxes and assessments, and property, value-added, sales, use, gross receipts, excise, stamp and documentary taxes, and all related penalties, fines, additions to tax and interest charges ("Impositions"), excluding only Impositions based on Lender's net income, provided that (i) this Section 10(b) shall not apply with respect to any withholding taxes imposed on or with respect to Lender to the extent that Lender is not a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code, and (ii) Lender shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower, including by providing any necessary forms or information, to avoid or minimize any such taxes, assessments, fees or other governmental charges.

Adverse Effect, (x) maintain its good standing in all such jurisdictions and (y) conduct its businesses and manage its properties in compliance with all applicable laws, rules or regulations binding on Borrower; (e) the execution, delivery and performance of this Loan Agreement, each Equipment Note and Related Agreement to which it is a party has been duly authorized by Borrower, each of which are and will be binding on and enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms (subject to the effect of (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) concepts of reasonableness and (iii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and do not and will not, except to the extent that any such contravention would not have a Material Adverse Effect, contravene any other instrument or agreement binding on Borrower; (f) there is no pending litigation, tax or environmental claim, proceeding, dispute or regulatory or enforcement action (and Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any of the same that may hereafter arise) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (g) Borrower has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Loan Agreement and the Related Agreements.
12. Borrower’s Covenants; Special Purpose Entity; No Other Business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Related Agreement or in any other document governing the formation, management or operation of Borrower, Borrower shall not (i) guarantee any obligation of any Person, or become obligated for the debts of any other Person (other than tax and ERISA liabilities arising by operation of law) or hold out its credit as being available to pay the obligations of any other Person; (ii) incur, create or assume any indebtedness or liabilities other than (x) as permitted hereunder and (y) tax and ERISA liabilities arising by operation of law; (iii) form, acquire or hold any Subsidiary (whether corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other) or own any equity interest in any other Person; or (iv) own any asset or property other than the Collateral and Excluded Assets.

Any notice given by Agent or Lender of any disposition of Collateral or other intended action of Agent or Lender which is given in accordance with this Loan Agreement at least 10 Business Days prior to such action, shall constitute fair and reasonable notice of such action.

Borrower shall not sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or in any way dispose of any of its rights or obligations under any Equipment Note without Lender's prior written consent.

A reasonably detailed certificate as to the amount and manner of calculation of such increased cost, submitted to Borrower and Guarantor and Agent by Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

A reasonably detailed certificate as to such amounts and the manner of calculation thereof submitted to Borrower, Guarantor and Agent by Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Section to the
contrary, clause (ii) of this Section 19(h) shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented and clause (ii) of this Section 19(h) shall apply to all the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issues or implemented.
In Witness Whereof, Lender and Borrower have executed this Loan Agreement as of the date first above written.
