The Auction Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of the Applicable Discount Notice, purchase Loans from each Participating Lender with a Reply Discount that is equal to or higher than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Bids”) at a discount to par equal to the Reply Discount of such Participating Lender, with the applicable Loans of the Participating Lender(s) with the highest Reply Discount being purchased first and then in descending order from such highest Reply Discount to and including the applicable Loans of the Participating Lenders with a Reply Discount equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Applicable Order of Purchase”); provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to purchase all Loans subject to Qualifying Bids would exceed the Auction Amount for such Auction, the Auction Party shall purchase such Loans of the Participating Lenders in the Applicable Order of Purchase, but with the Loans of Participating Lenders with Reply Discounts equal to the Applicable Discount being purchased pro rata until the Auction Amount has been so expended on such purchases. If a Participating Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple bids at different Reply Discounts, only the bid with the highest Reply Discount that is equal to or more than the Applicable Discount will be deemed the Qualifying Bid of such Participating Lender. In no event shall any purchase of Loans in an Auction be made at a Reply Discount lower than the Applicable Discount for such Auction.

(D) Additional Procedures. Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Auction Party may withdraw or modify an Auction only prior to the delivery of the Applicable Discount Notice (and if any Auction is withdrawn or modified, notice thereof shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Eligible Auction Lenders no later than the first Business Day after such withdrawal). Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Participating Lender of a Qualifying Bid, such Lender will be obligated to sell the entirety or its allocable portion of the Reply Amount, as the case may be, at the Applicable Discount.

For all purposes under the Loan Documents, any reference herein to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division of or by a limited liability company, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation) pursuant to Section 18-217 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or any similar provision under the laws of any other applicable jurisdiction (any such division, allocation of assets or unwinding, a “Division”), as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person.

ARTICLE II

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

Section 2.01 The Loans. In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender shall be deemed to make a term loan (the “Initial Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount as set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule 2.01; provided that, with respect to Lender Claimants set forth on Schedule 2.01, Initial Loans in an aggregate principal amount set forth on such Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed issued and outstanding for the benefit of such Lender Claimants on the Closing Date and held in the Lender Claimant Reserve Account to be administered in accordance with Section 2.15. The Initial Loans shall be treated as a single Class of Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding that no cash is exchanged, the Borrower shall owe the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loans to the Lenders under, and in accordance with the terms of, this Agreement. The Initial Loans shall be denominated in Dollars and shall bear interest in accordance with Section 2.08.

Section 2.02 Borrowings.

(a) Each Borrowing, other than the Initial Loans, shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which shall be given by a Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing. Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) the requested date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), and (ii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class of Loans. In the case of a Borrowing (other than the initial Credit Extension), each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender.

Section 2.03 [Reserved].

Section 2.04 [Reserved].

Section 2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

(i) Borrower may, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Class or Classes of Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(ii)); provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. one Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment. The Borrower shall make such prepayment and the prepayment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any such prepayment notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of one or more securities offerings or other transactions; provided, further, that, the Borrower must affirmatively rescind any such prepayment notice by a subsequent written notice to the Administrative Agent, if the condition in an original prepayment notice shall fail to be satisfied by the proposed effective date of such prepayment, and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such rescinding notice, shall have no obligation to make any prepayment in respect of such earlier prepayment notice. Any prepayment of Loans shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (x) in the event of each prepayment, repayment or redemption of any Initial Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) and Section 2.05(b)(iii), as applicable, such prepayment, repayment or redemption shall be accompanied by, and there shall become due and payable automatically upon such event, an early prepayment premium payable in cash on the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or redeemed, in an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium, calculated on the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loans so

prepaid, repaid or redeemed, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being prepaid, repaid or redeemed and (y) each repayment of, redemption or distribution in respect of, the principal amount of the Initial Loans after acceleration thereof pursuant to Section 8.02 (including automatically as a result of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), shall be accompanied by, and there shall become due and payable automatically upon acceleration, a payment premium payable in cash on the principal amount so repaid, redeemed or distributed or on the principal amount that has become or is declared accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02 (including automatically as a result of an insolvency proceeding), in an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium, calculated on the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loans so repaid, redeemed, distributed or accelerated, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such Initial Loans.

(iii) Dutch Auctions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower (in such case, the foregoing being herein referred to as the “Auction Party”) may repurchase outstanding Loans of any Class on the following basis; provided that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom at the time the Auction Notice is distributed:

(A) Auction Party may repurchase all or any portion of Loans (such Loans, “Subject Loans”) pursuant to a Dutch Auction (or such other modified Dutch auction conducted pursuant to similar procedures as the Borrower and Administrative Agent may otherwise agree);

(B) Following repurchase by Auction Party pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iii), the Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by Auction Party), for all purposes of this Agreement and the principal amount of the Loans so repurchased shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of such Loans by the full par value of the Loans so repurchased. In connection with any Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iii), the Auction Party shall notify the Administrative Agent of the cancellation and the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation. Any payment made by Auction Party in connection with a repurchase permitted by this Section 2.05(a)(iii) shall not be subject to any of the pro rata payment or sharing requirements of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the contrary, failure by Auction Party to make any payment to a Lender required by an agreement permitted by this Section 2.05(a)(iii) shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default; and

(C) Each Lender that sells its Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iii) acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Auction Party may have, or may later come into possession of additional information regarding the Loans or the Loan Parties at any time after a repurchase has been consummated pursuant to an Auction hereunder, that may be information that would have been material to such Xxxxxx’s decision to enter into an

assignment of such Loans hereunder (“Excluded Information”), (ii) such Lender will independently make its own analysis and determination to enter into an assignment of its Loans and to consummate the transactions contemplated by an Auction notwithstanding such Xxxxxx’s lack of knowledge of Excluded Information and (iii) none of the Loan Parties, the Sponsors or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person shall have any liability to such Lender with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender that tenders Loans pursuant to an Auction agrees to the foregoing provisions of this clause (C). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.05(a)(iii) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment requirements) (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Loans by Auction Party contemplated by this Section 2.05(a)(iii) shall not constitute Investments by Auction Party) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.05(a)(iii).

(b) Mandatory.

(i) Change of Control.

(A) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control or in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(i)(D), each Lender will have the right, in accordance with the time periods set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(i), to require Borrower to repurchase all or any part of that Xxxxxx’s Loans pursuant to a change of control offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) in an amount equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the repayment date, except to the extent Borrower has previously or concurrently elected to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(i).

(B) In the event that at the time of such Change of Control, the terms of First-Priority Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this Agreement restrict or prohibit the repayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i), then prior to the mailing of the notice to the Lenders provided for in Section 2.05(b)(i)(C) but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Borrower shall:

(1) repay in full all such First-Priority Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness or, if doing so will allow the repayment of Loans, offer to repay in full all such First-Priority Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness and repay such First- Priority Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness of each lender and/or noteholder who has accepted such offer; or

(2) obtain the requisite consent under the agreements governing such First-Priority Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness to permit the repayment of the Loans as provided for in Section 2.05(b)(i)(C).

(C) No later than 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent Xxxxxxxx has elected to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(i), Borrower will give the Administrative Agent notice (the “Change of Control Notice”) of the Change of Control, which the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each Lender. The Change of Control Notice shall:

(1) state that a Change of Control has occurred and that each Lender has the right to require Borrower to repay such Xxxxxx’s Loans in an amount equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repayment date;

(2) state the circumstances and the relevant facts regarding such Change of Control;

(3) state the repayment date (which shall be no earlier than 15 days nor later than 30 days from the date on which the Administrative Agent is notified) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(4) state that Lenders electing to have any Loans repaid pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to notify the Administrative Agent prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) state that Lenders will be entitled to withdraw their election to require Borrower to repay such Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, e-mail or letter setting forth the name of such Lender, the principal amount of Loans to be repaid, and a statement that such Lender is withdrawing its election to have such Loans repaid; and

(6) provide the other instructions determined by Borrower that a Lender must follow in order to have its Loans repaid.

The notice, if delivered in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Lender receives such notice, if (1) the notice is delivered in a manner herein provided and (2) any Lender fails to receive such notice or a Lender receives such notice but it is defective, such Lender’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the repayment of the Loans as to all other Lenders that properly received such notice without defect.

(D) On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, Borrower will repay all Loans or portions of Loans properly elected to be repaid and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer in an amount equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the repayment date.

(E) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

(F) Borrower will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement and repays all Loans properly elected to be repaid and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer and Borrower shall instruct the Administrative Agent to accept repayments made by such third party.

(ii) Asset Sale Prepayment Offer.

(A) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Borrower may apply such Net Proceeds at its option (i) to repay, repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire (v) Permitted Debt of the Borrower or Subsidiary constituting First-Priority Lien Obligations (and, if the Indebtedness repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired or retired is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), (w) Indebtedness of a Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (provided that the assets disposed of in such Asset Sale were not assets of a Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor and do not constitute Collateral), (x) Obligations under the Loans, (y) other Pari Passu Indebtedness (so long as the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale are with respect to assets not constituting Collateral) or (z) Other Second-Lien Obligations (provided that if a Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall so reduce Other Second-Lien Obligations under this clause (z) (which for the avoidance of doubt will not constitute Indebtedness under clauses (v), (w), (x) or (y)), the Borrower will repay the Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Lenders to repay Loans at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the pro rata principal amount of Loans); (ii) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, another Permitted Business; (iii) to make a capital expenditure in a Permitted Business; or (iv) to acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Borrower may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement.

(B) Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Borrower will be required to make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Lenders and to the extent required, to all holders of any Other Second-Lien Obligations containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Agreement with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to repay the maximum principal amount of Loans (and such Other Second-Lien Obligations) that may be repaid out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Loans and Other Second-Lien Obligations to be repaid or the lesser amount required under agreements governing such Other Second-Lien Obligations, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repayment, and will be payable in cash. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Loans (and such Other Second-Lien Obligations) accepted for repayment or tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Borrower may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose that is not prohibited by this Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans and such Other Second-Lien Obligations accepted for repayment or surrendered by holders thereof pursuant to such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Borrower shall apply the Excess Proceeds ratably to the repayment of the Loans and any other tendered Other Second-Lien Obligations based on the principal amount of the Loans or such Other Second-Lien Obligations accepted for repayment or tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

(C) Within ten (10) Business Days of any date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Borrower shall deliver written notice of such occurrence to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver such notice to each Lender to the address of such Lender appearing in the Register or otherwise in accordance with Section 10.02 with the following information:

(1) that that the Borrower is making an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii) and that all Loans and Other Second-Lien Obligations properly accepted for repayment or tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to such Asset Sale Offer will be repaid by the Borrower;

(2) the repayment date, which will be no earlier than twenty Business Days nor later than thirty Business Days from the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (the “Asset Sale Payment Date”);

(3) that any Loan not properly accepted for repayment will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

(4) that unless the Borrower defaults in making the payment, all Loans accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Asset Sale Payment Date;

(5) that Lenders electing to have Loans repaid pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may only elect to have all of such Loans repaid and may not elect to have only a portion of such Loans repaid;

(6) that Lenders electing to have any Loans repaid pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer will be required to notify the Administrative Agent in writing prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Asset Sale Payment Date;

(7) that Xxxxxxx will be entitled to withdraw their election to require the Borrower to repay such Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the expiration date of the Asset Sale Offer, a facsimile transmission, electronic mail or letter setting forth the name of such Lender, the principal amount of Loans to be repaid, and a statement that such Xxxxxx is withdrawing its election to have such Loans repaid;

(8) that, to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Loans or the Other Second-Lien Obligations accepted for repayment or surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Borrower will apply the Excess Proceeds as set forth in Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B); and

(9) the other instructions, as determined by the Borrower that a Lender must follow in order to have its Loans repaid.

The notice, if delivered in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Lender receives such notice. If (x) the notice is delivered in a manner herein provided and (y) any Lender fails to receive such notice or a Lender receives such notice but it is defective, such Lender’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the repayment of the Loans as to all other Lenders that properly received such notice without defect.

(D) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Asset Sale Offer nor any repayment of Loans under this Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be made if such repayment is then prohibited under the terms of any Credit Facility evidencing First-Priority Lien Obligations.

(iii) Debt Issuances. In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantors in respect to any Debt Issuance, the Borrower shall, within (3) Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Loans on a pro rata basis, in each case in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Proceeds (which prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by payment of accrued and unpaid interest, premiums (including the Prepayment Premium) and fees and expenses associated with such principal amount prepaid).

Section 2.06 [Reserved].

Section 2.07 Repayment of Loans. Borrower shall repay to the Appropriate Lenders on the applicable Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Loans of any applicable Class outstanding on such date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any outstanding fees, in each case, payable in accordance with the Loan Documents.

Section 2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate. The Borrower shall pay interest on (i) the Initial Loans at (x) eleven percent (11%) per annum in cash on each Interest Payment Date plus (y) two percent (2%) per annum paid in kind and capitalized on each Interest Payment Date as set forth in Section 2.08(c) by adding such amount to the outstanding principal amount of such Initial Loans (“PIK Interest”) and (ii) the Extended Loans in cash on each Interest Payment Date.

(b)

(i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, all outstanding Loans (whether or not overdue) shall thereafter bear interest at an interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then such overdue amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, interest hereunder shall be due no less frequently than quarterly. PIK Interest shall be paid by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Initial Loans, which increase shall be evidenced on the Register and, if such advance is evidenced by a Note with respect to any Lender, shall also be evidenced by a new Note if requested by such Xxxxxx. PIK Interest shall accrue and be capitalized and added to the outstanding principal balance of the Initial Loans on each Interest Payment Date. From and after each applicable Interest Payment Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Loans shall without further action by any party hereto be deemed to be increased by the aggregate amount of PIK Interest so capitalized and added to the Initial Loans in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, whereupon such amount of PIK Interest so capitalized and added shall also accrue interest in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.08. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand.

Section 2.09 Fees. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. If any Refinancing Event shall occur, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.09 shall continue during the period described in Section 2.15(f).

Section 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.11 Evidence of Debt. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender, as applicable, and by the Register. Such accounts or records maintained by each Lender and the Register, as applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the applicable Credit Extensions to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Xxxxxx and the Register in respect of such matters, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note, which shall evidence such Xxxxxx’s Loans to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and record thereon the date, amount, and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

Section 2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Appropriate Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than noon on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after noon shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Xxxxxxx: Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has made such share available on such date in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02 and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower: Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Xxxxxxxx has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Xxxxxxxx has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II and such funds are not made available to Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f) Insufficient Funds. Subject to Section 8.03, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments by Xxxxxxx. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not

due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof by means other than pursuant to a Dutch Auction (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.14 Incremental Facility.

(a) Incremental Commitments. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Incremental Request”), request one or more new commitments which shall be in the same Class as any outstanding Loans (a “Loan Increase”) or a new Class of Loans (collectively with any Loan Increase, the “Incremental Commitments”) under this Agreement, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders.

(b) Incremental Loans. Any Incremental Loans (other than Loan Increases) effected through the establishment of one or more new Loans made on an Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be designated a separate Class of Incremental Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which any Incremental Commitments of any Class are effected (including through any Loan Increase), subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.14, (i) each Incremental Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Incremental Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Loans may have identical terms to any of the Loans and be treated as the same Class as any of such Loans.

(c) Incremental Request. Each Incremental Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Loans. Incremental Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to request any Incremental Commitment) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Incremental Lender”).

(d) Effectiveness of Incremental Amendment. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, and the Incremental Commitments thereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date of such Incremental Amendment (the “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments, and the representations and warranties in Article V of this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, in all respects) on and as of the date of the incurrence of such Incremental Commitments (although any representations or warranties which expressly relate to a given date or period shall be required only to be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case may be);

(ii) each Incremental Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in clause (iii) below); and

(iii) the aggregate amount of Incremental Loans shall not exceed an amount of Incremental Loans so long as on and as of the date of the incurrence of such Incremental Loans and following the incurrence or issuance of such Indebtedness, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the Borrower’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) immediately preceding the date on which such Indebtedness is incurred would not exceed 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

(e) Required Terms. The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Loans and Incremental Commitments, as the case may be, of any Class, except as otherwise set forth herein, shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders; provided that in no event will any Incremental Loans be permitted to be voluntarily or mandatorily prepaid prior to the repayment in full of the Initial Loans, unless accompanied by at

least a ratable payment of the Initial Loans (provided that any Incremental Amendment may provide that the applicable Incremental Lenders shall receive a less than ratable payment); provided, further, that to the extent the terms of such Incremental Commitments are not consistent with the Initial Loans (except to the extent permitted by this Section 2.14), the terms of such Incremental Commitments shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) (it being understood that any terms which are not substantially identical to the Initial Loans and are applicable only after the then-existing Initial Loan Maturity Date are deemed to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent). In any event:

(i) the Incremental Loans:

(A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Loans;

(B) shall not mature earlier than the latest Maturity Date of the Initial Loans outstanding at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Loans;

(C) shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of then-existing Initial Loans (without giving effect to any prepayments thereof);

(D) subject to clauses (B) and (C) above, amortization, if any, shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders;

(E) subject to clause (ii) below, shall have an Applicable Rate determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders; and

(F) may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of Initial Loans hereunder, as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment;

(ii) with respect to any Incremental Loan, the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Loans, as applicable, of each Class shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders, and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment; provided, however, that if the All-In Yield in respect of such Incremental Loans exceeds the All-In Yield in respect of any then-existing Initial Loans or Extended Loans by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Rate of such then-existing Initial Loans and Extended Loans (including for all purposes of this Section any such Loans funded pursuant to a Loan Increase or that are Incremental Loans with the same terms as the Loans made (or deemed made) on the Closing Date) shall be adjusted such that the All-In Yield of such then-existing Initial Loans and Extended Loans equals the All-In Yield of such Indebtedness minus 0.50%; provided that any amendments to the Applicable Rate in respect of any then-existing Loans that become effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the time of such Indebtedness is incurred or borrowed shall also be included in such calculations, effective upon the making of loans under such Indebtedness;

(iii) to the extent such Incremental Loan is secured, it is not secured by any property or assets of the Borrower or any other Loan Party other than the Collateral (it being agreed that such Incremental Loan shall not be required to be secured by all of the Collateral);

(iv) such Incremental Loan shall not be Guaranteed by any Person other than any Loan Party and shall not have any obligors other than any Loan Party; and

(v) the proceeds of any Incremental Loan may be used for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) Incremental Amendment. Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Commitments and the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Incremental Lenders). The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans as determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Loans. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Loans unless it so agrees. The Borrower shall certify to the Administrative Agent that all conditions contained in this Agreement, including this Section 2.14, to any Incremental Loans and any Incremental Amendments have been satisfied.

(g) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

Section 2.15 Lender Claimants.

(a) In order for a Lender Claimant to cease being a Lender Claimant and to be acknowledged as a known Lender hereunder, such Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx shall submit to the Administrative Agent (i) evidence of the Notes Claims beneficially owned by such Lender Claimant, (ii) an Administrative Questionnaire, (iii) duly completed IRS tax withholding forms pursuant to this Agreement and (iv) a signature page to this Agreement. Promptly following receipt of such evidence, the Administrative Agent shall forward such evidence to the Borrower. The Borrower shall promptly direct in writing the Administrative Agent (i) whether the Person submitting such evidence should be added to the Register as a Lender, (ii) the original principal amount of Loans to be credited to such Lender Claimant, (iii) the amount of paid-in-kind interest allocable to such Loans and which is to be added to the original principal amount of the Loans and (iv) the amount of cash held in the Lender Claimant Reserve Account to be paid to such Lender Claimant, if any. The Borrower shall calculate the original principal amount of Loans to be credited to a Lender Claimant as the result of adding (i) the product of (A) the quotient of (1) the amount of 2020 Notes Claims owned by such Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and (2) the total amount of 2020

Notes Claims and (B) $92,571,429 and (ii) the product of (A) the quotient of (1) the amount of 2022 Notes Claims owned by such Lender Claimant and (2) the total amount of 2022 Notes Claims and (B) $117,428,571. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a signature page to this Agreement executed by such Lender Claimant and based solely on the Borrower’s direction described in this Section 2.15(a), (x) in respect of such Loans, such Lender Claimant shall cease to be a Lender Claimant and shall have all rights of a Lender for purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents and (y) the Administrative Agent shall (i) revise the Register to credit such Loans to such Lender Claimant, (ii) increase the principal of such transferred Loans with all paid-in-kind interest allocable to such Loans and (iii) pay to such Lender Claimant the cash amounts held in the Lender Claimant Reserve Account allocable to such transferred Loans. In no event shall the Administrative Agent have any duty, liability or obligation (i) to solicit or request delivery of any information or documents from any Lender Claimant, (ii) to review, verify or confirm any information or documents submitted by any Lender Claimant or contained in any direction of the Borrower or (iii) with respect to any calculation of amounts due or payable to any Lender Claimant (including the amount of any principal or interest credited to any Lender Claimant).

(b)

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent, the Borrower nor any other Person shall be liable to any Lender Claimant or to any other Person for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Law.

(ii) To the extent that (x) all Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than Obligations owing to any Lender Claimant or any contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) are paid in full prior to the Maturity Date and (y) on or after the date described in clause (x), the Borrower deposits in to the Lender Claimant Reserve Account the full amount of all Loans (including all paid-in-kind interest allocable to such Loans) then outstanding with respect to all Lender Claimants, together with accrued and unpaid interest due on the date of such deposit (the “Lender Claimant Obligation Amount”, and the occurrence of the events described in clauses (x) and (y), a “Refinancing Event”), on the date of such Refinancing Event, the Loans allocable to all Lender Claimants shall be deemed paid in full for all purposes under this Agreement; provided that until the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date that would have been the Maturity Date (as defined on the Closing Date) had such Refinancing Event not occurred (the “Claim Termination Date”), the claims of all Lender Claimants with respect to the Lender Claimant Obligation Amount shall survive.

(iii) Absent the occurrence of a Refinancing Event, any portion of the Loans (together with all paid-in-kind interest allocable to such Loans) remaining unclaimed by Lender Claimants fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (such Loans, the “Unclaimed Loans” and such date, the “Unclaimed Loans Termination Date”) shall, on the Unclaimed Loans Termination Date, be deemed to have been paid in full and any claims of a Lender Claimant shall then be deemed extinguished.

(c) Any cash amounts that are held in the Lender Claimant Reserve Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent on the Claim Termination Date or the Unclaimed Loans Termination Date, as applicable, after giving effect to the deemed repayment in full of the Loans or Unclaimed Loans, as applicable, in accordance with clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.15(b), in accordance with Section 2.15(d).

(d) All amounts paid pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.15 shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(i) to the extent not previously prepaid, to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans as of the date of payment;

(ii) to the extent not previously prepaid, to pay that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans;

(iii) to the extent not previously prepaid, to pay any other outstanding Obligations; and

(iv) the balance, if any, following the payment in full of such Obligations, if any, to be retained by the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

(e) The Borrower hereby directs the Administrative Agent or an escrow agent selected by the Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to open and maintain a segregated, non-interest bearing account entitled “Lender Claimant Reserve Account” for the purpose of holding funds payable to Lender Claimants in accordance with this Agreement. Funds held in the Lender Claimant Reserve Account shall remain uninvested.

(f) To the extent that a Refinancing Event occurs prior to the Maturity Date, from the date of such Refinancing Event until the earlier of (i) the date that all Lender Claimants have presented themselves and claimed all amounts contained in the Lender Claimant Reserve Account in accordance with Section 2.15(a) and (ii) the date that the Administrative Agent has applied amounts contained in the Lender Claimant Reserve Account in accordance with Section 2.15(d), all rights, powers and immunities of the Administrative Agent (including those contained in Article IX and Section 10.04) and all remaining obligations of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent described under this Agreement (including this Section 2.15) with respect to the Lender Claimants and the Lender Claimant Reserve Account shall continue and survive in full force and effect notwithstanding the fact that all Obligations shall have been paid in full; provided that during such period, the Administrative Agent may request and rely on the direction of the Borrower for all purposes that it would have instead relied on the direction of the Required Lenders prior to such period.

Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Xxxxxx’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.01.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payments of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement, fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.09 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as may be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their

Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require Borrower or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined in the good faith discretion of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(iii) If Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount so withheld or deducted by it to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of

Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, Borrower shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, on a several basis, (i) against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent the Loan Parties have not already paid or reimbursed the Administrative Agent therefor and without limiting the Loan Parties’ obligation to do so), (ii) against any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to maintain a Participant Register as required hereunder, and (iii) against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Obligations, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender shall make payment within 10 days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine

(A) whether or not payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, withholding (including backup withholding), or deduction and if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction,

(B) whether or not such Lender is subject to information reporting requirements, and

(C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding Tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1)-(4), (iii) and (v) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Xxxxxxxx is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding; and

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming benefits of any income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty,

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit X-x to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable),

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, or

(5) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) Each Lender shall promptly update and deliver any such form or certificate it previously delivered that has expired or become obsolete or inaccurate in any respect or notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(iv) Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by Xxxxxxxx, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or the Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction.

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

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by

Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses and net of any loss or gain realized in the conversion of such funds from or to another currency incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Credit Extension, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

Section 3.03 [Reserved].

Section 3.04 Increased Costs.

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

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

(ii) subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 3.04(b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine- month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.05 [Reserved].

Section 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then, at the request of Borrower, such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if Borrower is required to pay Indemnified Taxes or any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, and in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or a Defaulting Lender or otherwise gives notice pursuant to Section 3.02, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

Section 3.07 Survival. Each Loan Party’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent.

Section 3.08 [Reserved].

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

Section 5.02 Power: Authorization: Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the requisite power and authority to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to, approval or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with (a) the borrowings hereunder or the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, (b) the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability against any Loan Party of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (c) the grant by any Loan Party of the Liens granted by it pursuant to the Collateral Documents, (d) the perfection or maintenance of the Liens created under the Collateral Documents (including the second priority nature thereof) or (e) the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of its rights under the Loan Documents or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents, except, in each case, (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 5.02. which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect (except as noted on Schedule 5.02), (ii) the filings referred to in Section 5.18, (iii) in the

case of any authorization, approval, action, notice or filing from or with a Person other than a Governmental Authority, the failure to have could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) for matters that may be required after the Closing Date in the ordinary course of conducting the business of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

Section 5.03 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law nor any material Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, arising under the ABL Loan Documents or other material debt instrument, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Collateral Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.04 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower after due and diligent investigation, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues that (a) purport to directly affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.04 individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there has been no adverse change in the status, or financial effect on any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, of the matters described in Schedule 5.04.

(a) The Audited Financial Statements, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from an independent certified public accounting firm of national reputation, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2017 and, to the extent available on the Closing Date, December 31, 2018, as applicable, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended.

(b) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at January 31, 2019, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the period ended on such date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the period then ended (subject to the absence of footnotes and normal year-end audit adjustments).

(c) All such financial statements described in Section 5.05(a) and Section 5.05(b) of this Section, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the applicable accounting firm and disclosed therein or, in the case of financial statements described in Section 5.05(b), for the absence of footnotes and normal year-end adjustments). As of the Closing Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantees, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes (except for any such tax liabilities to taxing authorities outside of the United States which are not, in the aggregate, material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole) or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at January 31, 2019, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the period ended on such date, and which should be so reflected in accordance with GAAP. During the period from January 31, 2019 to and including the Closing Date, there has been no Disposition by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or Property, except as reflected in the financial statements described in Section 5.05(a) and Section 5.05(b) of this Section, which were delivered prior to the Closing Date.

Section 5.06 No Default. Neither any Loan Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Schedule 5.07 sets forth a complete and accurate list, as of the Closing Date, of all land rigs and barge rigs located and operating in the continental United States, Alaska or Gulf of Mexico waters subject to U.S. state or federal jurisdiction owned by each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries, showing as of the Closing Date the record owner and registration number as presented on any certificate of title or contained in the official records of the National Vessel Documentation Center of the United States Coast Guard, as applicable.

Section 5.08 Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed to use, all material Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted; no material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim; and the use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect.

Section 5.09 Taxes. Except to the extent excused or prohibited by the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or not otherwise authorized by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date, each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all material Federal, state and other Tax returns and reports that are required to be filed and has paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other material Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in each case, with respect to which adequate reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be), and no tax Lien has been filed (except for any Liens for taxes, the nonpayment of which is excused or prohibited by the Bankruptcy Code, or as permitted by Section 7.1(a)), and, to the knowledge of Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge (other than any such Liens and claims in favor of taxing authorities outside of the United States which are not, in the aggregate, material to Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole). Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof is party to any tax sharing agreement.

Section 5.10 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used in violation of Regulation U issued by the FRB as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the regulations of the FRB. No Loan Party is engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB).

Section 5.11 Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as could not (individually or in the aggregate) reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary.

Section 5.12 ERISA Compliance.

(a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state Laws, except where such non- compliance has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The base prototype plan document which each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code uses an opinion letter from the IRS, or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. Except to the extent the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the

Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except to the extent such event could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (ii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability; (iii) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA); (iv) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; and (v) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

(c) With respect to each scheme or arrangement mandated by a government other than the United States (a “Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement”) and with respect to each employee benefit plan maintained or contributed to by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party that is not subject to United States law (a “Foreign Plan”), each Foreign Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of the applicable law or terms of the applicable Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement and no Foreign Benefit Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, except where such non-compliance or occurrence has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) The Borrower represents and warrants as of the Closing Date that none of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, is or will be using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments.

Section 5.13 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the FRB) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

Section 5.14 Subsidiaries. The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.14 constitute all of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower as of the Closing Date. Schedule 5.14 sets forth as of the Closing Date the name and jurisdiction of incorporation and, in the case of each Loan Party, the U.S. taxpayer identification number of each such Subsidiary and, as to each, the percentage of each class of Equity Interest owned by each Loan Party. All of the outstanding Equity Interests in the Subsidiaries of the Borrower have been validly issued, and (to the extent applicable) fully paid and non-assessable. All of the outstanding Pledged Equity Interests that are Collateral are owned free

and clear of all Liens except those created under the Collateral Documents and, if and when the same are executed and delivered, the ABL Loan Documents and any other documents with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred and secured on a senior, pari passu or junior basis pursuant to Sections 7.01 and 7.03. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower does not directly or indirectly own any Equity Interest in any corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company (or other business entity) other than those specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.14. Schedule 5.14 identifies as of the Closing Date each Material Subsidiary, Immaterial Subsidiary, Project Finance Subsidiary and Excluded Subsidiary. As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than Equity Interests granted to employees and/or directors) of any nature relating to any Equity Interests of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except as disclosed on Schedule 5.14.

Section 5.15 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to provide liquidity for capital expenditures, working capital and for ongoing general corporate purposes for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries not in contravention of any Law.

(a) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries: (i) are, and for the last five (5) years have been, in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) hold all Environmental Permits (each of which is in full force and effect) required for any of their current or intended operations or for any property owned, leased, or otherwise operated by any of them; (iii) are, and for the last five (5) years have been, in compliance with all of their Environmental Permits; and (iv) reasonably believe that: each of their Environmental Permits will be timely renewed and complied with, without material expense; any additional Environmental Permits that may be required of any of them will be timely obtained and complied with, without material expense; and compliance with any Environmental Law that is or is expected to become applicable to any of them will be timely attained and maintained, without material expense.

(b) Hazardous Materials are not present at, on, under, in, or about any real property now or formerly owned, leased, or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or at any other location (including, without limitation, any location to which Hazardous Materials have been sent for re-use or recycling or for treatment, storage, or disposal) which could reasonably be expected to (i) give rise to liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise result in costs to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) interfere with the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ continued operations, or (iii) impair the fair saleable value of any real property owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including any notice of violation or alleged violation) under or relating to any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is, or to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries will be, named as a party that is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened in writing.

(d) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written request for information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party under or relating to the CERCLA or any similar Environmental Law, or with respect to any Hazardous Material.

(e) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into or agreed to any consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, or is subject to any judgment, decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other forum for dispute resolution, relating to compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law.

(f) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has assumed or retained, by contract or operation of law, any liabilities of any kind, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, under any Environmental Law or with respect to any Hazardous Material other than indemnity obligations in the Ordinary Course of Business.

Section 5.17 Accuracy of Information, etc. No written statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, taken as a whole, not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which made.

Section 5.18 Collateral Documents. The provisions of the Collateral Documents are effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on all right, title and interest of the respective Loan Parties in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. As applicable to Loan Parties on the Closing Date, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 5.18 the Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral (other than the Specified Barge Rigs covered by a Mortgage) and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except Liens permitted by Section 7.01), to the extent such security interest can be perfected by any filing of UCC financing statements. When any Mortgage is filed for recording in the National Vessel Documentation Center of the United States Coast Guard located in Falling Waters, West Virginia, such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Specified Barge Rigs and such other Collateral described therein and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the applicable Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except Liens permitted by Section 7.01).

Section 5.21 OFAC/Sanctions. Except as described on Schedule 5.21, no Loan Party nor any of their respective Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, controlled Affiliates or other Persons acting on its behalf with express authority to so act, is an individual or entity that is, or is owned or controlled by any individual or entity that is, (i) currently the subject of any Sanctions, (ii) included on OFAC’s List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, or HMT’s Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets and the Investment Ban List, or (iii) located, organized or residing in any Designated Jurisdiction (provided, that with respect to an individual or entity that is owned or controlled by any individual or entity described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), only to the extent such ownership or control would cause all transactions to be similarly prohibited with such person pursuant to Sanctions). No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of any Loan Party (including the knowledge of the Chief Compliance Officer following due inquiry of his direct reports), any of its or their respective current or former directors, officers, employees, agents, controlled Affiliates or other Persons acting on its behalf with express authority to so act, has engaged at any time within the previous five years, or is engaged, in any transaction(s) or activities which would result in a violation of Sanctions which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material impact on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. No loan, nor the proceeds from any Loan, has been used, directly or, with the knowledge of a Loan Party, indirectly, (i) to lend, contribute, provide or has otherwise been made available to fund any activity or business in any Designated Jurisdiction, or to fund any activity or business of any Person located, organized or residing in any Designated Jurisdiction or who is the subject of any Sanctions in violation of applicable Sanctions, or (ii) in any other manner, that will result in any violation by any Person (including any individual, entity or other Person participating in the transaction, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor, Lender, the Administrative Agent or otherwise) of applicable Sanctions.

Section 5.22 Anti-Corruption Laws. Except as previously disclosed by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in public filings, the Loan Parties have conducted their businesses in compliance with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK Bribery Act 2010, or other similar and applicable anti-corruption legislation in other jurisdictions (“Anti- Corruption Laws”) in all material respects and have instituted and maintained policies and procedures reasonably designed to promote and achieve compliance with such applicable Anti- Corruption Laws.

The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat the Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent the Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.07); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat the Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.”

Each notice pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be accompanied by a statement of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating what action the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary has taken and proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Borrower shall furnish certificates, policies and endorsements to Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as proof of such insurance, and, if the Borrower fails to do so, Administrative Agent is authorized, but not required, to obtain such insurance at the expense of the Borrower. All policies shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Administrative Agent of

any cancellation or reduction of coverage. The Borrower shall cause Administrative Agent to be named as a loss payee and an additional insured (but without any liability for any premiums) under such insurance policies and the Borrower shall obtain non- contributory lender’s loss payable endorsements to all insurance policies in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Any such lender’s loss payable endorsements shall specify that the proceeds of such insurance shall be payable to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as its interests may appear and further specify that Administrative Agent shall be paid regardless of any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Subject to the terms of the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Customary Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent, at its option, may apply any insurance proceeds received by Administrative Agent at any time while any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing to the cost of repairs or replacement of Collateral and/or, to payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in any order and in such manner as Administrative Agent may determine or hold such proceeds as cash collateral for the Obligations.

Section 6.08 Payment of Obligations. Pay and discharge as the same shall become due and payable, all its obligations and liabilities, including (a) all tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its properties or assets, unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by the Borrower or such Subsidiary; (b) all other lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon its property; and (c) all Indebtedness, as and when due and payable, but subject to any subordination provisions contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing such Indebtedness, in each case, where non-payment thereof could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Borrower covenants and agrees that until payment in full of the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations), Borrower and each other Loan Party shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly:

Section 7.01 Liens. Create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness (including Attributable Indebtedness) upon any property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired.

Section 7.02 [Reserved].

Section 7.03 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

(i) the incurrence by the Borrower and any Subsidiary of Indebtedness and letters of credit under one or more Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (i) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed the greater of (a) $100.0 million and (b) 15.0% of the Borrower’s Consolidated Tangible Assets, determined at the time of incurrence;

(ii) Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date and listed on Schedule 7.03;

(iii) the incurrence by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Loans and the related Guarantees under the Loan Documents;

(vi) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary or a Project Finance Subsidiary) of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary or a Project Finance Subsidiary); provided that: (a) if the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on any such Indebtedness that is owing to a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Loans, in the case of the Borrower, or the Guarantee pursuant to the Loan Documents, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor; and (b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (vi);

(vii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the Ordinary Course of Business and not for speculative purposes;

(viii) the Guarantee by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantors that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant; provided that if the Indebtedness that is being Guaranteed is subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or a Guarantee pursuant to the Loan Documents, then the Guarantee of that Indebtedness by the Borrower or its Subsidiary shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee pursuant to the Loan Documents, as the case may be;

(ix) the incurrence by the Borrower’s Subsidiaries of Non-Recourse Debt; provided that if any such Indebtedness ceases to be Non-Recourse Debt of such entity, such event will be deemed to constitute an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Subsidiary of the Borrower that was not permitted by this clause (ix);

(x) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, public liability insurance, unemployment insurance, property, casualty or liability insurance, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, or customs, completion, advance payment, performance, bid performance, appeal or surety bonds and other similar obligations in the Ordinary Course of Business, including guarantees or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting the foregoing;

(xi) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the Ordinary Course of Business; provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of incurrence;

(xii) Indebtedness represented by agreements of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn outs or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Equity Interests of the Borrower or its Subsidiary; provided that the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

(xiii) Indebtedness of (x) the Borrower or any Subsidiary incurred to finance an acquisition or (y) a Subsidiary incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Subsidiary was acquired by the Borrower (other than Indebtedness incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition); provided that after giving effect to such acquisition or at the time such Subsidiary is acquired by the Borrower, (A) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Borrower’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Subsidiary is acquired would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period or (B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Borrower would be no less than immediately prior to such acquisition;

(xiv) Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries (other than Project Finance Subsidiaries) in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xiv), not to exceed $50 million;

(xv) the issuance by any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries to the Borrower or to any of its Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that: (a) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof and (b) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not either the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock (as of the date of such sale or transfer) by such Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (xv);

(xvi) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries consisting of (a) the financing of insurance premiums or (b) take-or-pay obligations contained in ordinary course supply arrangements;

(xvii) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of (x) Treasury Management Arrangements and (y) in connection with the Specified Permitted Reorganization;

(xviii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of additional unsecured Indebtedness or Indebtedness secured on a pari passu or junior basis, in each case, in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xviii), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding $30.0 million;

(xix) the incurrence by Project Finance Subsidiaries of Project Financings; and

(xx) the incurrence of Indebtedness and the issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, in each case constituting Permitted Ratio Debt and any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness so incurred, or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock so issued, pursuant to this clause (xx).

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.03, if an item of Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) at any time meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xx) above, the Borrower will be permitted to classify (and later reclassify) in whole or in part, in its sole discretion such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 7.03. Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement or any refinancings or replacements thereof, whether existing on the Closing Date or incurred thereafter, shall be classified under clause (i) of the second paragraph of this Section 7.03.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.03, in connection with any commitment to incur Indebtedness under this Section 7.03 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any commitment to incur Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement), the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may, pursuant to a certificate of a Responsible Officer delivered to the Administrative Agent at the time of such commitment, designate such Indebtedness as having been incurred on the date of such commitment (such date, the “Deemed Date”), and any related borrowing or other extension of credit will be deemed for all purposes under this Agreement to have been incurred on such Deemed Date, including without limitation for purposes of calculating usage of any baskets hereunder (if applicable), the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Tangible Assets and all such calculations on the Deemed Date and thereafter shall be made on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the deemed incurrence and related transactions in connection therewith until such commitment is terminated.

The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Borrower as accrued. Further, the reclassification of any lease or other liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles after the Closing Date will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in the same foreign currency, and such

refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, the U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Borrower may incur pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.

Section 7.04 Fundamental Changes. Enter into any merger, consolidation or amalgamation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution), or Dispose of all or substantially all its Property or business except that:

(a) any Subsidiary of the Borrower may be merged or consolidated with or into the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be the continuing or surviving Person), or with or into any other Loan Party (provided that (i) a Loan Party shall be the continuing or surviving Person or (ii) simultaneously with such transaction, the continuing or surviving Person shall become a Loan Party and the Borrower shall comply with Section 6.09 in connection therewith);

(b) any Subsidiary may merge with any other Subsidiary (or any Person that becomes a Subsidiary contemporaneously with such merger) so long as, in the case of any merger involving a Guarantor, the surviving Person shall be (or shall contemporaneously become) the Guarantor;

(c) any Subsidiary of the Borrower may Dispose of any or all of its assets (upon voluntary liquidation or otherwise) to the Borrower or any Subsidiary (so long as, in the case of any such Disposition by a Guarantor, the Subsidiary to whom such assets are disposed of is a Guarantor) and may be dissolved following such Disposition;

(d) any Excluded Subsidiary, Project Finance Subsidiary or Immaterial Subsidiary may Dispose of any or all of its assets and may be dissolved following such Disposition;

(e) the Equity Interests of any Excluded Subsidiary, Project Finance Subsidiary or Immaterial Subsidiary may be Disposed of or issued to any other Person;

(f) the Borrower and any Subsidiary may merge or consolidate with any other Person (other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary) provided that, with respect to each merger or consolidation made pursuant to this Section 7.04(f):

(i) on the date of execution of the purchase agreement, no Default exists or would result therefrom;

(ii) the merger or consolidation is not hostile;

(iii) the lines of business of the Person to be (or the property of which is to be) so purchased or otherwise acquired shall be substantially the same as, or complimentary to, or an expansion of, lines of business then conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course;

(iv) the requirements of Section 6.09 are satisfied;

(v) the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall be the survivor (or, with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor, such merger or consolidation shall be made to effect a Disposition permitted by Section 7.05); and

(vi) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least one Business Day prior to the date on which any such merger or consolidation is to be consummated (or such shorter period of time as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent), a certificate of a Responsible Officer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, certifying that all of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.04(f) have been satisfied or will be satisfied on or prior to the date on which such merger or consolidation is consummated;

(g) any merger, consolidation, amalgamation, dissolution or Disposition of any Subsidiary that constitutes an Investment permitted under Section 7.06 or a Disposition permitted under Section 7.05;

(h) any change in the form or jurisdiction of organization of any Subsidiary if the Borrower determined in good faith that such change is in the best interest of the Borrower and is not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders; provided that all necessary actions are taken to ensure that the security interests in the Collateral shall remain in full force and effect; and

(i) this Section 7.04 shall not prohibit the consummation of the Specified Permitted Reorganization.

Section 7.05 Dispositions. Consummate any Asset Sale unless (i) the Borrower (or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; (ii) the fair market value is determined by (a) an executive officer of the Borrower if the value is less than $20.0 million and evidenced by an officers’ certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent or (b) the Borrower’s board of directors if the value is $20.0 million or more and evidenced by a resolution of such board of directors delivered to the Administrative Agent; and (iii) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Borrower or such Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or any combination thereof. For purposes of this Section 7.05 each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: (a) any liabilities (as shown on the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Loans or any Guarantee pursuant to the Loan Documents) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the Borrower or such Subsidiary from further liability and (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Borrower or such Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Borrower or such Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion.

Section 7.06 Restricted Payments. (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of any Equity Interests of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of any Equity Interests of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in their capacity as such (in each case, other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower or to the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower); (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Borrower) any Equity Interests of the Borrower or any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower; (iii) make any principal payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors that is contractually subordinated to the Loans or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Obligations, any Junior Lien Obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor and any unsecured Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor (“Restricted Debt”), except a payment of principal within six months of or at the stated Maturity Date thereof; or (iv) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

(a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; and

(i) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Borrower for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the first day of the fiscal quarter beginning after the Closing Date to the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus

(ii) 100% of (a) the aggregate net cash proceeds and (b) the fair market value of (x) marketable securities (other than marketable securities of the Borrower) and (y) any Permitted Business or assets used or useful in a Permitted Business to the extent acquired in consideration of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower received by the Borrower since the Closing Date as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Borrower (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Borrower that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Borrower), plus

(iii) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the Closing Date is sold for cash or otherwise cancelled, liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of (i) the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment, including without limitation repayment of principal of any Restricted Investment constituting a loan or advance (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (ii) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment.

The preceding provisions shall not prohibit:

(i) the payment of any dividend or distribution or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or distribution or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment or distribution would have complied with the provisions of this Agreement;

(ii) the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Borrower) of, Equity Interests of the Borrower (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital to the Borrower; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment shall be excluded from clause (c)(B) of the preceding paragraph and clause (v) of this paragraph;

(c) terminate this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as to any future liability or obligation of the Loan Parties, but without affecting any of the Administrative Agent’s Liens in the Collateral and without affecting the Obligations; and

(d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or other Debtor Relief Law or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.01(f), in addition to the remedies set forth above, without any notice to the Borrower or any other Person or any act by the Required Lenders, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest, fees, premiums (including any Prepayment Premium) and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender and Borrower shall automatically be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Loan Parties.

Upon an acceleration of the Loans as a result of an Event of Default (including an acceleration upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or other Debtor Relief Law or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.01(f)), the amount of principal of, and premium on (if any), the Loans that becomes due and payable shall include the Prepayment Premium (if any), determined as of such date, shall become immediately due and payable by the Loan Parties and shall constitute part of the Obligations as if the Loans were being voluntarily

109

prepaid or repaid as of such date, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Prepayment Premium payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early repayment or prepayment of the Loans and each of the Borrower and the Guarantors agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS EXPRESSLY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUMS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment or redemption is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders, the Borrower and the Guarantors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium and (D) the Borrower and the Guarantors shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay or guarantee the payment of the Prepayment Premium, to the Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to Lenders to make (or be deemed to make) the Loans.

Section 8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), subject to the terms of the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Customary Intercreditor Agreement, any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III but excluding any principal and interest) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, premiums (including any Prepayment Premium) and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of all other Obligations ratably among the Secured Parties; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby appoints UMB Bank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Customary Intercreditor Agreement) and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents (including the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Customary Intercreditor Agreement)), together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article, other than the final sentence of Section 9.10, are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall not be an agent for the Lender Claimants and shall not have any duties or obligations with respect to the Loans attributed to such Lender Claimants, other than (i) maintenance of the Lender Claimant Reserve Account and (ii) the crediting of their Loans in accordance with Section 2.15(a).

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Customary Intercreditor Agreement), and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations. In furtherance thereon, each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent of the Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Section 9.05), as “collateral agent” as “trustee” to act on their behalf solely for the purpose of acting as mortgagee under Mortgages and holding the second preferred mortgage interest in each Specified Rig granted to the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent”, as “trustee” pursuant to the respective Mortgage. The Administrative Agent hereby accepts and declares that it will hold each Mortgage for the sole use and benefit of the Lenders and shall perform its obligations hereunder, but only upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In connection with all of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in- fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

111

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity, if applicable. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents to which Administrative Agent is a party, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request or direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender and such notice references this Agreement and is labelled a “notice of default” or “notice of event of default”.

112

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents or otherwise to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to (i) file or prepare any financing or continuation statements or record any documents or instruments in any public office for purposes of creating, perfecting or maintaining any Lien or security interest created under the Loan Documents; (ii) take any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral; or (iii) take any action to protect against any diminution in value of the Collateral. The Borrower shall make any and all filings and recordations.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, before taking or omitting any action to be taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may seek the written direction of the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent is entitled to rely (and is fully protected in so relying) upon such direction. The Administrative Agent is not liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with such direction. If the Administrative Agent requests such direction with respect to any action, the Administrative Agent is entitled to refrain from such action unless and until the Administrative Agent has received such direction, and the Administrative Agent does not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. In the absence of an express statement in the Loan Documents regarding which Lenders shall direct in any circumstance, the direction of the Required Lenders shall apply and be sufficient for all purposes. If the Administrative Agent so requests, it must first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all fees, losses, liabilities and expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent by reason of taking or continuing to take, or omitting, any action directed by any Xxxxxx. Any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents authorizing the Administrative Agent to take any action does not obligate the Administrative Agent to take such action.

The Administrative Agent shall never be required to use, risk or advance its own funds or otherwise incur liability in the performance of any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder (including, but not limited to, no obligation to grant any credit extension or to make any advance hereunder). In no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable, directly or indirectly, for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, even if the Administrative Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action.

113

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes, terrorist attacks or other disasters.

The Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Administrative Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein or in the other Loan Documents, whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Administrative Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Administrative Agent, it is understood that the Administrative Agent shall be acting at the direction of the Required Lenders and shall be fully protected in acting pursuant to such directions.

Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents to which it is a party on the date hereof on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders.

Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under pursuant to, the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Agreement (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).

The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for interest or income on any funds held by it hereunder and any funds so held shall be held uninvested pending distribution thereof.

Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

114

Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, shall promptly give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Xxxxxxx and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as bailee until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed, but the Administrative Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of Borrower, for the appointment of a successor).

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as bailee until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed, but the Administrative Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of Xxxxxxxx, for the appointment of a successor).

115

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as bailee until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed, but the Administrative Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of Xxxxxxxx, for the appointment of a successor) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.01(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (b) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

(d) Any Person into which the Administrative Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Administrative Agent shall be the successor of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

116

Section 9.08 No Other Duties Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Section 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

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

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance

117

of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid and to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.01), (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iii) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

Section 9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to (a) release any and all Collateral from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, subordinate any Lien on any and all such Collateral and/or release any and all Guarantors (other than Borrower) from their respective obligations under the Guaranty at any time and from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents and Section 10.21, (b) execute and deliver, and take any action referred to in Section 10.21 to evidence any such release or subordination and (c) enter into any amendments of the Collateral Documents dated on and as of even date herewith deemed reasonably necessary or appropriate by the Required Lenders in order to evidence the Obligations secured by such Collateral Documents and for any other related purpose.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to Section 9.10 or Section 10.21. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection

118

therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. In addition, the Administrative Agent will have no obligation to conduct any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of the Borrower, or any other party, or opine or advise on any related Solvency issues.

Xxx Xxxxxx hereby expressly accepts and confirms, for the purposes of article 1278 and article 1281 of the Luxembourg civil code, that notwithstanding any assignment, transfer and/or novation permitted under, and made in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement, any security provided pursuant to a Loan Document to which Lux Holdco is a party shall be preserved, for the purposes of Luxembourg law, for the benefit of any new Lender.

(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 8.02) without the written consent of such Lender;

(b) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment (excluding mandatory prepayments) of principal, interest, fees, premiums (including any Prepayment Premium) or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under such other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to such payment;

(c) reduce or forgive the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject to clause (ii) of the third proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

(d) change the definition of “Applicable Percentage”, Section 2.12(a), Section 2.12(f), Section 2.13 or Section 8.03 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; provided that modifications of Section 2.12(a), Section 2.12(f), Section 2.13 or Section 8.03 or the definition of “Applicable Percentage” in connection with (x) any buy back of Loans by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(iii) shall only require approval (to the extent any such approval is otherwise required) of the Required Lenders, or (y) any Incremental Amendment shall only require approval (to the extent any such approval is otherwise required) of the Incremental Lenders;

If any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each affected Lender, each Lender of a Class in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders (and, in the case of a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release involving all of an affected Class, at least 50.1% of such affected Class) (a “Non-Consenting Lender”), the Borrower may replace such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Section 10.13; provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant to this paragraph).

121

OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including electronic notices or Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

122

No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Secured Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Section 10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses (but limited in the case of legal fees to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent and one primary counsel for the Lenders, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of one or more regulatory counsels and one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent and one or more such counsel to the Lenders, taken as a whole), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) and any counsel for the Lenders (and one counsel for the Administrative Agent and one counsel for the Lenders, taken as a whole, in any relevant foreign jurisdiction), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with Loans made, including all such documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

123

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each other Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees and expenses (but limited in the case of legal fees, to the reasonable and documented out-of- pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and one counsel for the Lenders, taken as a whole, and, solely in the case of an actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent and one local counsel to the Lenders, taken as a whole, in each such relevant material jurisdiction), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including fees and expenses incurred in enforcing this indemnity and including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, or by any other Person and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) other than with respect to the Administrative Agent, result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such other Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) result from any dispute solely among the Indemnitees (other than claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or a similar role) and not arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Reimbursement by Xxxxxxx. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section or under Section 2.09 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), each other Agent or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting Borrower’s obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub- agent), such other Agent or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage

124

(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any other Agent in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any other Agent in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than thirty days after written demand therefor (or such later time as the applicable payee shall agree to in writing in its sole discretion).

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Refinancing Event shall occur, the obligations under this Section 10.04 shall continue during the period described in Section 2.15(f).

Section 10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

125

Section 10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Xxxxxxx. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitment and the Loans of any Class at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in Section 10.06(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment and the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;

126

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the Administrative Agent shall acknowledge receipt of any Assignment and Assumption delivered to it.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; provided further, that such fee shall be payable only once in the event of simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds that are administered, managed, advised or sub-advised by the same entity or entities that are Affiliates of each other. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower or Defaulting Lender. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or to any Defaulting Lender or any of a Defaulting Lender’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person).

(vii) Conversion of Lender Claimants. For the purposes of this Agreement, the conversion of a Lender Claimant to a Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 shall not be deemed an assignment.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04, and Section 10.04 with respect to facts

127

and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective unless recorded in the Register. The parties hereto agree and intend that the Loans shall be treated as being in “registered form” for purposes of the Code (included Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code), and the Register shall be maintained in accordance with such intention.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or to any Defaulting Lender or any of a Defaulting Lender’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)), Section 3.04 and Section 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address

128

of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-l(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless (i) the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or (ii) such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors, independent auditors, legal counsel and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal or administrative process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or its obligations hereunder, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (y)

129

becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (and the successors and assigns of the foregoing) on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (z) is independently developed by the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (and the successors and assigns of the foregoing). In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Loans.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any such Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non- public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

Section 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency), other than deposits in accounts designated as trust or tax withholding accounts and that are exclusively used for such purposes, at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff hereunder, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The

130

rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01 this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means (e.g., “.pdf” or “.tiff”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Maturity Date.

Section 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

131

Section 10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.06(a). If any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or a Defaulting Lender, or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b):

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01 such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(e) in connection with any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender.

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