6. Continued Effectiveness of the Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby (a) acknowledges and consents to this Amendment for itself and each other Loan Party, (b) confirms and agrees that the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, except that on and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, all references in any such Loan Document to “the Credit Agreement”, the “Agreement”, “thereto”, “thereof”, “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment, and (c) confirms and agrees that, to the extent that any such Loan Document purports to assign or pledge to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, or to grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, a security interest in or Lien on any Collateral as security for the Obligations of the Loan Parties from time to time existing in respect of the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and the other Loan Documents, such pledge, assignment and/or grant of the security interest or Lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. This Amendment does not and shall not affect any of the obligations of the Loan Parties, other than as expressly provided herein, including, without limitation, the Loan Parties’ obligations to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of Credit Agreement or the obligations of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document to which they are a party, all of which obligations shall remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

7. No Novation. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement or instruments securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby.

8. No Representations by Agent or Lenders. The Borrower for itself and each other Loan Party hereby acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation, written or oral, express or implied, by the Agent or any Lender, other than those expressly contained herein, in entering into this Amendment.

9. Release. The Borrower for itself and each other Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has any claim or cause of action against the Agent or any Lender (or any of the directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or consultants of any of the foregoing), and (b) the Agent and the Lenders have heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of their obligations to the Loan Parties, and all of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and the Lenders wish (and the Borrower for itself and each other Loan Party agrees) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions, events or circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of their rights, interests, security and/or remedies. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other

good and valuable consideration, the Borrower (for itself and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release, waive and forever discharge the Agent and the Lenders, together with their respective Affiliates and Related Funds, and each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and consultants of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all debts, claims, allegations, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done, in each case, on or prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date directly arising out of, connected with or related to this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or the agreements of the Agent or any Lender contained therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of any Loan Party, or the making of any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or other advances or the Collateral. The Borrower for itself and each other Loan Party represents and warrants that it has no knowledge of any claim by any Releasor against any Released Party or of any facts or acts or omissions of any Released Party which on the date hereof would be the basis of a claim by any Releasor against any Released Party which would not be released hereby.

10. Further Assurances. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, execute any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all further actions, as may be required under Applicable Law or as the Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect the purposes of this Amendment.

11. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.

(b) Section and paragraph headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.

(d) The Borrower for itself and each other Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment constitutes a “Loan Document” under the Credit Agreement.

(e) Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 2

COMMITMENTS OF THE LENDERS; BORROWING and CONVERSION PROCEDURES.

2.1

Commitments. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Lenders, severally and for itself alone, agrees to make loans to Xxxxxxxx as follows:

2.1.1

Term Loan Commitments.

(a)

Each Lender with a Term A-1 Loan Commitment agrees to make a loan to Borrower (each such loan, a “Term A-1 Loan”) on the Closing Date in that Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Term A-1 Loan Commitments of all Lenders. The Commitments of the Lenders to make Term A-1 Loans will expire concurrently with the making of Term A-1 Loans on the Closing Date.

(b)

Each Lender with a Term A-2 Loan Commitment agrees to make a loan to Borrower (each such loan, a “Term A-2 Loan”) on the Closing Date in that Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Term A-2 Loan Commitments of all Lenders. The Commitments of the Lenders to make Term A-2 Loans will expire concurrently with the making of Term A-2 Loans on the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, each Term A-2 Lender shall not make its Term A-2 Loan in cash on the Closing Date but shall be deemed to have made its Term A-2 Loan under this Agreement by exchanging (i.e. rolling over) (the “Second Lien Rollover”) its Second Lien Loans for the same aggregate principal amount as such Term A-2 Lender’s Term A-2 Loan Commitment and Term A-2 Loan. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as of the Closing Date,

after giving effect to the Second Lien Rollover, the Obligations in respect of the Second Lien Loans shall be deemed satisfied and paid in full.

(c)

Each Lender with a Term B Loan Commitment agrees to make one or more loans (each such loan, a “Term B Loan”) during the Term B Loan Availability Period in that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amounts that Borrower requests from all Lenders. The aggregate amount of all Term B Loans made will not exceed the aggregate Term B Loan Commitments of all Lenders. The Commitments of the Lenders to make Term B Loans will decrease concurrently with the making of Term B Loans on each applicable borrowing date by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Term B Loans made on that borrowing date. In no event shall more than four (4) borrowings of Term B Loans be advanced to Borrower. The Commitments of the Lenders to make Term B Loans will expire at the end of the Term B Loan Availability Period.

2.1.2

Incremental Facilities.

(a)

Requests. Borrower may, from time to time by written notice to Administrative Agent, no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effectiveness of any such facility (each, an “Incremental Facility Request”), request one or more increases in the Term A-1 Commitment or Term B Commitment or one or more tranches of new term loans denominated in dollars (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitment” and the term loans thereunder, each an “Incremental Term Loan”; the Incremental Term Loans are sometimes referred to herein individually as an “Incremental Loan” and, collectively, as the “Incremental Loans”; the Incremental Term Loan Commitments are sometimes referred to herein individually as an “Incremental Facility” and collectively as the “Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $60,000,000; provided that no commitment of any Lender shall be increased without the consent of such Lender. Such Incremental Facility Request shall set forth (A) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment being requested (which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof), (B) the date (an “Incremental Effective Date”) on which such Incremental Facility is requested to become effective (which shall not be (a) unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent, less than fifteen (15) days after the date of such notice and (b) more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice (or such longer period as Administrative Agent may agree), and (C) whether the related Incremental Loan is initially to be a SOFR Loan or a Base Rate Loan (and, if a SOFR Loan, the Interest Period therefor).

(b)

Allocations. Upon delivery of the Incremental Facility Request, (x) such Incremental Facility shall be offered to each Lender according its Pro Rata Share, provided that none of the Lenders will be required to provide all or any portion of such Incremental Facility, and any decision whether or not to so provide all or any portion of such Incremental Facility by any Lender shall be made at the sole discretion of such Lender and (y) any Lender that fails to commit to provide all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share within ten Business Days after its receipt of such request shall be deemed to have declined to provide all or such portion of its Pro Rata Share, as applicable, in which case such portion may instead be provided in the form of Incremental Equivalent Debt in accordance with clause (f) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (b), (i) to the extent Borrower does not have written commitments from one or more existing Lenders to provide such Incremental Facility in its entirety within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower has delivered such Incremental Facility Request, all such existing Lenders shall be deemed to have declined to provide any portion of such Incremental Facility, in which case such portion may instead be provided in the form of Incremental Equivalent Debt in accordance with clause (f) below.

(c)

Conditions. No Incremental Facility shall become effective under this Section 2.1.2 unless (A) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Facility, the loans to be made thereunder and the application of the proceeds therefrom, (I) no Event of Default shall

have occurred or be continuing and (II) the representations and warranties made in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein), (B) Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of an Senior Officer of Borrower certifying as to the foregoing and attaching reasonably detailed supporting calculations related thereto, in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and (C) Administrative Agent shall have received such other information and documentation as it may reasonably and promptly request in connection with such Incremental Facility and the use of proceeds thereof.

(d)

Terms. Each Incremental Term Loan in the form of an increase to existing Term A-1 Loans or Term B Loans shall be on the same terms (including the maturity date) as, and pursuant to documentation (other than an Incremental Facility Amendment, if required) applicable to, the Term A-1 Loan or Term B Loan, as applicable. Each Incremental Term Loan in the form of one or more tranches of new term loans shall be on the same terms (except as provided below) as, and pursuant to documentation (other than an Incremental Facility Amendment, if required) applicable to, the Term A-1 Loan or Term B Loan, as applicable; provided that, to the extent agreed by Borrower, Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility, the Incremental Loans may have call protection, applicable fees and amortization schedules that differ from those applicable to the Term A-1 Loan or Term B Loan. Each Incremental Term Loan shall have the same Guaranty as and be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral securing the existing Term A-1 Loans and Term B Loans and any other Incremental Facilities.

(e)

Required Amendments. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence of such Incremental Facility and the Loans evidenced thereby (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”), and any such Incremental Facility Amendment may without the consent of the other Lenders effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Xxxxxxxx, to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.1.2, and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.1.2 shall supersede any provisions in Section 15.1. From and after each Incremental Effective Date, the Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.1.2 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees and security interests created by the applicable Loan Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the applicable Loan Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Loans and Commitments, including compliance with Section 10.9.

(f)

Incremental Equivalent Debt. Borrower may issue or incur Incremental Equivalent Debt in lieu of any Incremental Facility upon the delivery to the Administrative Agent of notice prior to the proposed effective date thereof, so long as the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred and Incremental Commitments provided pursuant to Section 2.1.2 does not exceed the $60,000,000. As used herein, “Incremental Equivalent Debt” means Debt consisting of one or more series of notes or loans, a bridge facility in lieu of the foregoing, or debt securities; provided that:

(i)

each applicable condition set forth in Section 2.1.2(c) shall be satisfied (or waived in accordance with the terms hereof) with respect to the incurrence of such Debt;

(ii)

such Debt shall rank junior in right of payment with the Term Loans and shall rank junior in right of security with the Term Loans or may be unsecured, and a representative acting on behalf of the lenders or investors providing such Debt shall have entered into a Subordination Agreement (and the Lenders hereby authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Subordination Agreement);

(iii)

such Debt shall not at any time be incurred or guaranteed by any Person other than a Loan Party, and such Debt shall not be secured by property other than Collateral;

(iv)

the final scheduled maturity date applicable to such Debt shall not be earlier than the date that is one year after the then final scheduled maturity date of the Term Loans with the latest maturity date then in effect and (B) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Series shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans with the latest maturity date then in effect (without giving effect to any prepayments thereof); and

(v)

except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the pricing (including interest, fees and premiums), optional prepayment and redemption terms with respect to such Debt shall be determined by Borrower and the lenders or investors providing such Debt.

2.2

Loan Procedures.

2.2.1

Various Types of Loans. Each Loan (other than a Term A-2 Loan) may be divided into tranches which are, either a Base Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan (each, a “Type” of Loan), as Borrower specifies in the related Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2.2 or Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.2.3. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans may be outstanding at the same time. All borrowings, conversions, and repayments of Loans will be effected so that each Lender will have a ratable share (according to its Pro Rata Share) of all Types of Loans.

2.2.2

Borrowing Procedures.

(a)

Borrower shall give written notice (each such written notice, a “Notice of Borrowing”) substantially in the form of Exhibit D to Administrative Agent and each Lender with an applicable Commitment of each proposed borrowing not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) three Business Days prior to the proposed date of that borrowing. Each such notice will be effective upon receipt by Administrative Agent, will be irrevocable, and must specify the date, amount, Interest Period and Type of borrowing; provided that any borrowing of Term B Loans must be at least $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000.

(b)

On the requested borrowing date, each Lender with an applicable Commitment shall provide Administrative Agent with immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent’s Account, covering that Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of that borrowing so long as the applicable Lender has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 12 with respect to that borrowing have not been satisfied. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of the applicable Loans from Lenders with applicable Commitments, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of those Loans available to Borrower on the applicable borrowing date by transferring to Borrower immediately available funds equal to the proceeds received by Administrative Agent. Each Base Rate borrowing must be on a Business Day. Each Lender shall, upon request of Administrative Agent, deliver to Administrative Agent a list of all Loans made by that Xxxxxx, together with all information related thereto as Administrative Agent reasonably requests. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower may not request, and Lenders will not be required to fund, any borrowing of any Loan that is not a SOFR borrowing unless, subject to and as more particularly described in Section 8, SOFR is unavailable or unlawful.

2.2.3

Conversion Procedures.

(a)

Subject to Section 2.2.1 and to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2.3(b), elect, as of any Business Day, to convert any Loans (other than Term A-2 Loans) (or any part thereof in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000) into Loans of the other Type. After giving effect to any prepayment or conversion, the aggregate principal amount of SOFR Loans must be at least $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower may not request the conversion of, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders will not be required to convert, any SOFR Loan into a Base Rate Loan unless, subject to and as more particularly described in Section 8, SOFR is unavailable or unlawful.

(b)

Borrower shall give written notice (each such written notice, a “Notice of Conversion”) substantially in the form of Exhibit E or telephonic notice (followed immediately by a Notice of Conversion) to Administrative Agent of each proposed conversion not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the proposed date of that conversion, specifying in each case:

(i)

the proposed date of conversion;

(ii)

the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted;

(iii)

the Type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion; and

(iv)

if the resulting Borrowing is a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such conversion.

(c)

Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion pursuant to this Section 2.2.3.

(d)

Failure to Submit a Conversion Notice; Events of Default. If Xxxxxxxx fails to deliver a timely and complete Conversion Notice with respect to a SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such SOFR Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such SOFR Borrowing shall automatically be continued as a SOFR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default exists and Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default exists (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a SOFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid as provided herein, each SOFR Borrowing shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor.

2.3

Commitments Several. The failure of any Lender to make a requested Loan on any date will not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make a Loan on that date, but no Lender will be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by that other Lender.

2.4

Certain Conditions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2.3, no Lender will have an obligation to make any Loan or to permit any conversion into any SOFR Loan, if an Event of Default or Default exists.

Section 3

EVIDENCING OF LOANS.

3.1

Notes. At a Lender’s request, (a) the Term A-1 Loans of that Lender may be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of that Lender in a face principal amount equal to the principal amount of that Lender’s Term A-1 Loans; (b) the Term A-2 Loans of that Lender may be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of that Lender in a face principal amount equal to the principal amount of that Xxxxxx’s Term A-2 Loans; and (c) the Term B Loans of that Lender may be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of that Lender in a face principal amount equal to the sum of the principal amount of that Xxxxxx’s Term B Loans plus the principal amount of that Lender’s Term B Loan Commitment.

3.2

Recordkeeping. Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Lender, shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Loan made by each Lender and each repayment or conversion thereof. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded will be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the Loans owing and unpaid. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount will not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans under this Agreement, together with all interest accruing thereon.

Section 4

INTEREST.

4.1

Interest Rates. Xxxxxxxx agree to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the date that Loan is made until that Loan is paid in full as follows:

4.1.1

Term Loans.

(a)

Term A-1 Loans.

(i)

at all times while a Term A-1 Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii)

at all times while a Term A-1 Loan is a SOFR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted Term SOFR from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)

Term A-2 Loans.

(i)

at a rate per annum equal to the Term A-2 Interest Rate.

(c)

Term B Loans.

(i)

at all times while a Term B Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii)

at all times while a Term B Loan is a SOFR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted Term SOFR from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin.

4.1.2

Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists, the interest rate applicable to each Loan, at the election of Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (upon notice to Borrower), will be increased by 3.00% from the date such Event of Default occurred and otherwise during the existence of such Event of Default (and, in the case of Obligations not bearing interest, those Obligations will, during the existence of an Event of Default (to the extent then due and not yet paid) bear interest at the highest interest rate applicable to the Term Loans plus 3.00%), but any such increase may be rescinded by Required Lenders, notwithstanding Section 15.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 13.1.1 or 13.1.4, the increase provided for in this Section 4.1.2 will occur automatically. In no event will interest payable by Borrower to any Lender under this Agreement exceed the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, and if any such provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law, then that provision will be deemed modified to limit that interest to the maximum rate permitted under that law.

4.1.3

Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan is payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month, upon a prepayment of that Loan, and at maturity. Accrued interest on each SOFR Loan is payable on the first Business Day of each month, upon a prepayment of that Loan, and at maturity. After maturity, and at any time an Event of Default exists, accrued interest on all Loans will be payable on demand.

4.2

Setting and Notice of Adjusted Term SOFR Rates. The Adjusted Term SOFR will be determined by Administrative Agent. Each determination of the applicable Adjusted Term SOFR by Administrative Agent will be conclusive and binding upon the parties to this Agreement, absent manifest error.

4.3

Computation of Interest. Interest will be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of (a) 360 days for interest calculated at the Adjusted Term SOFR and (b) 365/366 days for interest calculated at the Base Rate. The applicable interest rate for each Base Rate Loan will change simultaneously with each change in the Base Rate and the applicable interest rate for each SOFR Loan will change simultaneously with each change in the Adjusted Term SOFR.

4.4

Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Section 5

FEES.

5.1

Administrative Agent’s Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent all agent’s fees as are mutually agreed to from time to time by Xxxxxxxx and Administrative Agent, including the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter.

5.2

Applicable Premium. Upon the occurrence of an Applicable Premium Trigger Event, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the sole and separate account of Administrative Agent, the applicable premium (each such applicable premium, an “Applicable Premium”), calculated in accordance with this Section 5.2.

(a)

Without limiting the generality of Sections 6.2 and 6.3, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated as a result of the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default (including by operation of law or otherwise), the Applicable Premium, if any, determined as of the date of acceleration, will also be due and payable and will be treated and deemed as though the Term Loans were repaid or prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations for all purposes herein. Any Applicable Premium payable in accordance with this Section 5.2 shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders as the result of the occurrence of the Applicable Premium Trigger Event, and Borrower and the other Loan Parties agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Applicable Premium, if any, shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other similar remedial actions taken by Administrative Agent or any Lender or by any other means. BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING APPLICABLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION.

(b)

Borrower expressly agrees that (a) the Applicable Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (b) the Applicable Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (c) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium, (d) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 5.2, (E) their agreement to pay the Applicable Premium is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Term Loans, and (f) the Applicable Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such Applicable Premium Trigger Event.

(c)

Each Applicable Premium will be equal to:

(I) in the case of any Term Loan (other than Term A-2 Loans),

(A) if the repayment of the applicable Term Loan occurs within 12 months after the Closing Date, the sum of (i) the principal amount of such repayment multiplied by 2.00% and (ii) the present value of all interest that would have otherwise been payable on the amount of such principal prepayment from the date of such prepayment to and including the date that is twelve months after the Closing Date, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, and

(B) thereafter, an amount determined by multiplying the principal amount of the Term Loans repaid by the following applicable percentage amount: (i) 2.00% if that repayment occurs more than 12 months after the Closing Date but within 24 months after the Closing Date; (iii) 1.00% if that repayment occurs more than 24 months after the Closing Date but within 36 months after the Closing Date; and (iv) 0% if that repayment occurs more than 36 months after the Closing Date.

(II) in the case of any Term A-2 Loans, a payment equal to the principal amount of the Term A-2 Loans being prepaid multiplied by the applicable Prepayment Percentage.

For purposes of this Section 5.2(II), “Prepayment Percentage” means (A) three percent (3%) with respect to Term A-2 Loans prepaid after February 27, 2022 and prior to April 17, 2022 and one percent (1%) with respect to Term A-2 Loans prepaid after April 17, 2022 but prior to the Term A-2 Termination Date.

(d)

All fees payable pursuant to this Section 5.4 will be deemed fully earned and non-refundable as of the Closing Date.

Section 7

MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SETOFF; TAXES.

7.1

7.1.1

Borrower shall make all payments of principal or interest on the Loans, and of all fees, to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds to Administrative Agent’s Account not later than noon (Chicago time) on the date due, and funds received after that time will be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent on the following Business Day. Borrower shall make all payments to Administrative Agent and the Lenders without set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, deduction, or other defense. Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its share of all such payments received in collected funds by Administrative Agent for the account of that Xxxxxx. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall make all payments under Section 8.1 directly to the Lender entitled thereto.

7.2

Application of Certain Payments.

7.2.1

So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (a) payments matching specific scheduled payments then due will be applied to those scheduled payments and (b) voluntary and mandatory prepayments will be applied as set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2.

7.2.2

Subject to any written agreement among Administrative Agent and the Lenders:

(a)

All payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments of fees, and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, will be allocated by Administrative Agent among Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided in this Agreement or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans, as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made.

(b)

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, apply all

payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as follows: (i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to Administrative Agent until paid in full; (ii) second, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees (other than any Applicable Premium) and indemnities then due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full; (iii) third, ratably (to Administrative Agent in accordance with Administrative Agent’s outstanding Protective Advances) to pay interest then due and payable in respect of Protective Advances until paid in full; (iv) fourth, ratably (to Administrative Agent in accordance with Administrative Agent’s outstanding Protective Advances) to pay principal of the Protective Advances until paid in full; (v) fifth, ratably, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Term Loans until paid in full; (vi) sixth, ratably to pay principal of the Term Loans until paid in full; (vii) seventh, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any Applicable Premium then due and payable until paid in full; and (viii) eighth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable.

(c)

For purposes of Section 7.2.2(b), “paid in full” means payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents (or, to the extent those Obligations are contingent, to provide Cash Collateral in respect of those Obligations) according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after, or that would have accrued but for, the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(d)

In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 7.2.2 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that all such priority provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 7.2.2 will control and govern.

7.3

Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then that due date will be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a SOFR Loan, that immediately preceding Business Day is the first Business Day of a month, in which case that due date will be the immediately preceding Business Day), and, in the case of principal, additional interest will accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.

7.4

Setoff. Borrower, for itself and each other Loan Party, agrees that Administrative Agent and each Lender have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, Borrower, for itself and each other Loan Party, agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent and each Lender may apply to the payment of any Obligations of Borrower and each other Loan Party under this Agreement, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts, or moneys of Borrower and each other Loan Party then or thereafter with Administrative Agent or that Lender.

7.5

Proration of Payments. If any Lender obtains any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset, or otherwise), on account of principal of or interest on any Loan (but excluding (i) any payment pursuant to Section 8 or 15.6 and (ii) payments of interest on any Affected Loan) in excess of its applicable Pro Rata Share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on the Loans, then held by them, then that Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans held by them as are necessary to cause that purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them, but if all

or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from that purchasing Lender, then that purchase will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of that recovery.

7.6

Taxes.

7.6.1

Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement or under any Loan Documents without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. Unless required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent), all payments under this Agreement or under the Loan Documents (including any payment of principal, interest, or fees) to, or for the benefit, of any Recipient will be made by Borrower free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for, or account of, any Taxes now or hereafter imposed by any taxing authority.

7.6.2

If Borrower makes any payments to a Recipient under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document in respect of which Borrower is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes, then Borrower shall increase such payment under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document such that after the reduction for the amount of Indemnified Taxes withheld (and any Indemnified Taxes withheld or imposed with respect to the additional payments required under this Section 7.6.2), the amount paid equals the amount that was payable under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document without regard to this Section 7.6.2. To the extent Borrower withholds any Taxes on payments under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority within the time allowed for payment under applicable law and shall deliver to Administrative Agent within 30 days after Borrower have made payment to that taxing authority the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by that taxing authority (or other evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent) evidencing the payment of all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld from that payment. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

7.6.3

If any Recipient is required by law to make any payments of any Indemnified Taxes on or in relation to any amounts received or receivable under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, or any Indemnified Tax is assessed against Recipient with respect to amounts received or receivable under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, Borrower will indemnify such Recipient within 30 days after demand therefor against (i) that Indemnified Tax and (ii) any Taxes imposed as a result of the receipt of the payment under this Section 7.6.3. A certificate prepared in good faith as to the amount of any such payment by that Lender or Administrative Agent or other recipient will, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive, and binding on all parties.

7.6.4

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Lender that is not a United States person within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (or in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee, on the date of the assignment to that Lender), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i)

in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, two properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing that Xxxxxx’s entitlement to a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate in, United States withholding Tax on interest payments to be made under this

Agreement or with respect to any Loan pursuant to such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the such tax treaty;

(ii)

two properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii)

in the case of a Non-U.S. 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 F-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(iv)

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

(b)

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

(c)

Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender (other than any such Lender that is taxed as corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall provide two properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor or other applicable form) to Borrower and Administrative Agent certifying that that Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding Tax. To the extent that a form provided pursuant to this Section 7.6.4(c) is rendered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect as result of change in circumstances with respect to the status of a Lender or Administrative Agent, then that Lender or Administrative Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, deliver to Borrower and, as applicable, Administrative Agent revised forms necessary to confirm or establish the entitlement to that Xxxxxx’s exemption from United States federal backup withholding Tax.

(d)

No Borrower will be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender, or indemnify any Lender, under this Section 7.6 to the extent that those obligations would not have arisen but for the failure of that Lender to comply with this Section 7.6.4.

(e)

Each Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent and hold Administrative Agent harmless for the full amount of any and all present or future Taxes and related liabilities (including penalties, interest, additions to Tax and expenses, and any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to Administrative Agent under this Section 7.6) which are imposed on or with respect to principal, interest, or fees payable to that Lender under this Agreement and which are not paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.6, whether or not those Taxes or related liabilities were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification must be made within 30 days from the date Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor.

7.6.5

If Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.6, then Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, shall pay over that refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 7.6 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to that refund), net of any Taxes imposed by reason of receipt of that refund and all out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to that refund, which interest must be paid to Borrower). Upon the request of Administrative Agent or any such Lender, Borrower shall repay any amount paid to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest, or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to Administrative Agent or that Lender in the event Administrative Agent or that Lender is required to repay any such refund to any such governmental authority. Nothing in this Section 7.6.5 is to be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

7.6.6

If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal income withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if that 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), then that Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) at the time or times prescribed by law and at any other time or times reasonably requested by Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) all documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and all additional documentation reasonably requested by Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) as is necessary for Administrative Agent or Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that that Xxxxxx has complied with that Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from that payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 7.6.6, “FATCA” is deemed to include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

7.6.7

Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of 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 obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 8

Increased Costs; Special Provisions for SOFR Loans.

8.1

Increased Costs.

(a)

If any Change in Law (i) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of the

Adjusted Term SOFR pursuant to Section 4), special deposit, or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with, or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or (ii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) 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) imposes on any Lender any other condition affecting its SOFR Loans, its Note(s), or its obligation to make SOFR Loans, and the result of anything described in clauses (i) and (ii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) that Lender (or any SOFR Office of that Lender) of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by that Lender (or its SOFR Office) under this Agreement or under its Note(s) with respect thereto, then upon demand by that Lender (which demand must be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for that demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which must be furnished to Administrative Agent), Borrower shall pay directly to that Lender such additional amount as will compensate that Lender for that increased cost or that reduction, so long as the applicable amounts have accrued on or after the day that is 180 days prior to the date on which that Xxxxxx first made demand therefor.

(b)

If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in, or the adoption or phase-in of, any applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on that Lender’s or that controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of that Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to a level below that which that Lender or that controlling Person could have achieved but for that change, adoption, phase-in, or compliance (taking into consideration that Lender’s or that controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by that Lender or that controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, upon demand by that Lender (which demand must be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for that demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which must be furnished to Administrative Agent), Borrower shall pay to that Lender such additional amount as will compensate that Lender or that controlling Person for that reduction, so long as the applicable amounts have accrued on or after the day that is 180 days prior to the date on which that Lender first made demand therefor.

8.2

Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.

(a)

Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other parties of the following:

(i)

Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination will be binding and conclusive on Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank SOFR market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Term SOFR; or

(ii)

the Required Lenders advise Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Term SOFR as determined by Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to those Lenders of maintaining or funding SOFR Loans (taking into account any amount to which those Lenders may be entitled under Section 8.1) or that the making or funding of SOFR Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of those Lenders materially affects those Loans.

(b)

So long as any circumstances described in a notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(a) continue, (i) no Lender will be required to make or convert any Base Rate Loans into SOFR Loans, and (ii) each such Loan will, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.

If Administrative Agent reasonably determines (in consultation with Borrower) after the Closing Date that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR, then (i) a comparable or successor floating rate that is, at such time, broadly accepted by the market for loans denominated in Dollars in lieu of the London interbank offered rate as determined by Administrative Agent (in consultation with Borrower) or (ii) if no such broadly accepted comparable successor rate exists at such time, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Adjusted Term SOFR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Such selection of a successor rate by Administrative Agent (and Xxxxxxxx, as applicable) shall be conclusive and binding unless the Required Lenders shall have objected in writing to such successor rate within five Business Days of notice thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

8.3

Changes in Law Rendering SOFR Loans Unlawful. If, after the date of this Agreement, any change in, or the adoption of any new, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law or regulation by any governmental authority or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, makes it (or in the good faith judgment of any Lender causes a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain, or fund SOFR Loans, then that Lender shall promptly notify each of the other parties to this Agreement and, so long as those circumstances continue, (a) that Lender will not be required to make or convert any Base Rate Loan into a SOFR Loan (but that Lender shall, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, make Base Rate Loans concurrently with the making of or conversion of Base Rate Loans into SOFR Loans by the Lenders which are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to the amount of SOFR Loans which would be made or converted into by that Lender at that time in the absence of those circumstances), and (b) each such SOFR Loan will, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. Each Base Rate Loan made by a Lender which, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a SOFR Loan (an “Affected Loan”) will remain outstanding for the period corresponding to the SOFR Loans of which that Affected Loan would be a part absent those circumstances.

8.4

Right of Lenders to Fund through Other Offices. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any SOFR Loan by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate of that Lender to make that Loan, but each such Loan will be deemed to have been made by that Lender and the obligation of Borrower to repay that Loan will be to that Lender and will be deemed held by the Lender, to the extent of that Loan, for the account of that branch or Affiliate.

8.5

Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)

Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in that Lender’s sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to that Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Sections 7.6 or 8.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 8.2 or 8.3 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) and thereafter that event ceases to exist, that Lender shall promptly so notify Borrower and Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall designate a different funding office if that designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to Borrower of) any event described

in clause (i) or (ii) and that designation will not, in that Xxxxxx’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to that Lender.

(b)

If Borrower become obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Sections 7.6 or 8.1, or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 8.2 or 8.3, or any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then Borrower may designate another financial institution that is acceptable to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion (a “Replacement Lender”) to purchase the Loans of that Lender and that Xxxxxx’s rights under this Agreement, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, that Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to that Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on those Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to that Lender and any other amounts owed to that Lender under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, and to assume all the obligations of that Lender under this Agreement. Upon any such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), the applicable Lender will no longer be a party to this Agreement or have any rights under this Agreement (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to that Lender prior to the date of that purchase and assumption) and will be relieved from all obligations to Borrower under this Agreement, and the Replacement Lender will succeed to the rights and obligations of that Lender under this Agreement.

8.6

Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3 will be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Section 8.1, and the provisions of Section 8.1 will survive repayment of the Obligations, cancellation of any Note(s), and termination of this Agreement.

8.7

Benchmark Replacement Setting.

8.7.1

Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Xxxxxxx and Borrower so long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 8.7.1 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

8.7.2

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

8.7.3

Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower Representative and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify Borrower Representative of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 8.7.4 and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark

Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 8.7, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 8.7.

8.7.4

Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Xxxxxxxxx has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

8.7.5

Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower Representative’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrower Representative may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

(b)

Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of its receipt of any proceeds of Curative Equity and shall make a prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3.

Before the date of the delivery of that certificate, any Specified Financial Covenant Default that has occurred and is continuing will be deemed to be continuing, and, as a result, the Lenders will have no obligation to make additional loans or otherwise extend additional credit under this Agreement. If Borrower does not cure a Specified Financial Covenant Default as provided in this Section 13.4, then that Specified Financial Covenant Default will continue unless waived in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

(d)

To the extent that proceeds of Curative Equity are received with respect to any Fiscal Quarter for the purpose of curing a breach of the financial covenant set forth in Section 11.12.2, those proceeds will be deemed to be EBITDA for purposes of determining compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants for that Fiscal Quarter and subsequent Computation Periods that include that Fiscal Quarter.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 14.10) appoints, designates, and authorizes Administrative Agent to take any action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise any powers and perform any duties as are expressly delegated to it, as applicable, by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with all powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent will not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor will Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities are to be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement and in other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, that term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

14.2

[Reserved].

14.3

Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees, or attorneys-in-fact and is entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to those duties. Administrative Agent will not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

14.4

Exculpation. None of Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees, and agents (a) will be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth in this Agreement as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) will be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer thereof,

contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection, or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent is not and will not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

14.5

Reliance. Administrative Agent may rely, and will be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, electronic mail message, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement, or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Xxxxxxxx), independent accountants, and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent will be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Administrative Agent first receives all advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Administrative Agent against any and all liability and expense which might be incurred by Administrative Agent by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent will in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and each such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto will be binding upon each Lender. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 12, each Lender that has signed this Agreement will be deemed to have consented to, approved, or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless Administrative Agent has received written notice from that Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

14.6

Notice of Default. Administrative Agent will not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing that Event of Default or Default and stating that that notice is a “notice of default.” Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent shall take all such actions with respect to each such Event of Default or Default as requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 13, but unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such request, Administrative Agent may (but will not be required to) take any action, or refrain from taking any action, with respect to any Event of Default or Default as Administrative Agent deems advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

14.7

Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Loan Parties, will be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent and based on documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, and

creditworthiness of the Loan Parties, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower under this Agreement. Each Lender also represents to Administrative Agent that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent and based on documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals, and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make all investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required in this Agreement to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower which may come into the possession of Administrative Agent.

14.8

Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to its applicable Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, except that no Lender will be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders will be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 14.8. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs and Taxes) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to in this Agreement, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for any such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 14.8 will survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.

14.9

Administrative Agent in Individual Capacities. Monroe Capital and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Loan Parties and Affiliates as though Monroe Capital were not Administrative Agent under this Agreement and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to those activities, Monroe Capital or its Affiliates might receive information regarding Borrower or their Affiliates (including information that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or any such Affiliate) and acknowledges that Administrative Agent will be under no obligation to provide any such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), Monroe Capital and its Affiliates have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though Monroe Capital were not Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Monroe Capital and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

14.10

Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Xxxxxxxx,

a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent under this Agreement, that successor agent will succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” will mean that successor agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent will be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Agreement as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 14 and Sections 15.5 and 15.17 will inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation will nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Xxxxxxx shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

14.11

Collateral Matters. Each Lender authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents for the benefit of Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any action taken by Administrative Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by Administrative Agent or Required Lenders of the powers set forth in this Agreement or therein, together with all other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, will be authorized by, and binding upon, all Lenders. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to do any and all of the following: (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document (i) upon Payment in Full; (ii) upon property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under this Agreement or otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders (including the release of any Guarantor in connection with any such disposition); or (iii) subject to Section 15.1, if approved in writing by the Required Lenders; or (b) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on that Collateral which is permitted by Section 11.2(d)(i) or 11.2(d)(iii) (it being understood that Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower in determining whether the Debt secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 11.1(b)). Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.11.

14.12

Restriction on Actions by Lenders. Each Lender shall not, without the express written consent of Administrative Agent, and shall, upon the written request of Administrative Agent (to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so), set-off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by that Lender to a Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with that Lender. Each Lender shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Administrative Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any loan or otherwise enforce any security interest in any of the Collateral or to enforce all or any part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. All enforcement actions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any third party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral may be taken by only Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) or by its agents at the direction of Administrative Agent.

14.13

Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

14.13.1

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, or other judicial proceeding relative to any

Loan Party (including any Insolvency Proceeding), Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan is then due and payable as expressed in this Agreement or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent has made any demand on Borrower) may, by intervention in any such proceeding or otherwise, do any and all of the following:

(a)

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 any other documents as are necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Administrative Agent under Sections 5, 15.5, and 15.17) allowed in any such proceedings; and

(b)

collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

14.13.2

Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make all payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 5, 15.5, and 15.17.

14.13.3

Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to authorize 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 or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

14.14

Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger,” if any, has any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility, or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of any Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified has or is deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

14.15

Protective Advances. Administrative Agent may, from time to time at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, make all disbursements and advances (“Protective Advances”) that Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Loan Parties of the Loans and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 15.5. Protective Advances are repayable on demand and will be secured by the Collateral and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Term Loans. The maximum aggregate amount of Protective Advances that Administrative Agent may make is $20,000,000. Protective Advances constitute Obligations under this Agreement. No Protective Advance made by Administrative Agent and charged to the Loan Account will be deemed to constitute a Loan and no Lender will have any obligation to fund any amount to Administrative Agent as a result thereof. Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and Borrower

in writing of each Protective Advance made by Administrative Agent, which notice must include a description of the purpose of that Protective Advance.

(k)

If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained is referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, Administrative Agent and/or one or more Persons reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent may (but will not be required to) purchase from that Non-Consenting Lender, and that Non-Consenting Lenders shall, upon Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to Administrative Agent and/or any such Person, all of the Loans and Commitments of that Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Loans and Commitments held by that Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest, fees, expenses, and other amounts then due with respect thereto through the date of sale, which purchase and sale will be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

15.3.2

Electronic Communications.

(a)

Notices and other communications to any Lender under this Agreement may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e‑mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, but the foregoing does not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.2 if that Xxxxxx has notified Administrative Agent and Borrower that it is incapable of receiving notices under Section 2.2 by electronic communication. Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in its respective sole discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it under this Agreement by electronic communications

pursuant to procedures approved by it, and approval of any such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

15.5

Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, Attorney Costs) in connection with the preparation, execution, syndication, delivery and administration (including perfection and protection of any Collateral and the costs of IntraLinks (or other similar service), if applicable) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other documents provided for in this Agreement or delivered or to be delivered under or in connection with this Agreement (including any amendment, supplement, or waiver to any Loan Document), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated, including, without limitation, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred pursuant to Section 10.2, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, Attorney Costs) incurred by Administrative Agent and each Lender after an Event of Default in connection with the collection of the Obligations or the enforcement of this Agreement the other Loan Documents or any such other documents or during any workout, restructuring, or negotiations in respect thereof.

This Section 15.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

15.6

Assignments; Participations.

15.6.1

Assignments.

(a)

(a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of that Xxxxxx’s Loans and Commitments, with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower (which consent of Borrower may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except in the case of an assignment to a Disqualified Institution in which case consent of Borrower may be provided or withheld in Xxxxxxxx’s sole discretion and which consent, for avoidance of doubt, shall not be required from Borrower at any time while (x) an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 13.1.1, 13.1.2, or 13.1.4 has occurred and is continuing and (y) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing for a period of more than ten consecutive Business Days), but (i) no such consent of any kind is required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, and (ii) no assignment may be made to a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party. Except as Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, any such assignment must be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 (which minimum will be $250,000 if the assignment is to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender) or, if less, the remaining Commitment and Loans held by the assigning Lender. Xxxxxxxx and Administrative Agent will be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Administrative Agent has received and accepted an effective assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed, delivered, and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500. No assignment may be made to any Person if at the time of that assignment Borrower would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 7.6 or Section 8 to the Assignee than Borrower is then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under that section (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, Borrower will not be required to pay any such greater amounts). Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 15.6.1 will be treated as the sale of a participation under Section 15.6.2, except for an assignment to a Disqualified Institution, which assignment to a Disqualified Institution will be null and void (unless such assignment is made during any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or with the consent of Borrower). Borrower will be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent under this Agreement unless Borrower has expressly objected in writing to that assignment within five (5) Business Days after notice thereof.

(b)

From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) the Assignee will be deemed automatically to have become a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to that Assignee pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, will have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to that Assignment Agreement, will be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations under this Agreement. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) one or more Notes in accordance with Section 3.1 to reflect the amounts assigned to that Assignee and the amounts, if any, retained by the assigning Lender. Each such Note will be dated the effective date of the applicable assignment. Upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any such Note, the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower any applicable prior Note held by it.

(c)

Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of that Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 15.6.1 will not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest. No such pledge or assignment of a security

100

interest will release a Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for that Lender as a party to this Agreement.

15.6.2

Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons (other than (x) a Disqualified Institution unless expressly consented to by Borrower (which consent shall not be required from Borrower at any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and (y) 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 Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) participating interests in its Loans, Commitments or other interests under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it) (any such Person, a “Participant”); provided that, in the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) that Lender’s obligations under this Agreement will remain unchanged for all purposes; (b) Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with that Lender in connection with that Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and (c) all amounts payable by Borrower will be determined as if that Lender had not sold that participation and will be paid directly to that Lender. No Participant will have any direct or indirect voting rights under this Agreement except with respect to any event described in Section 15.1 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which that Xxxxxx enters into with any Participant. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant will be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, but that right of set-off is subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders shall share with each Participant, as provided in Section 7.5. Participant will be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.6 and Section 8 as if it were a Lender (but on the date of the participation no Participant will be entitled to any greater compensation pursuant to Section 7.6 or Section 8 than would have been paid to the participating Lender on that date if no participation had been sold, and each Participant must comply with Section 7.6.4 as if it were an Assignee). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Xxxxxxxx, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

15.7

Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain, at its offices in the United States, and deliver a copy to Borrower upon written request, a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered and accepted by it and register (the “Register”) for the recordation of names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of each Lender from time to time and whether that Xxxxxx is the original Lender or the Assignee. No assignment will be effective unless and until the Assignment Agreement is accepted and registered in the Register. All records of transfer of a Xxxxxx’s interest in the Register will be conclusive,

101

absent manifest error, as to the ownership of the interests in the Loans. Administrative Agent will not incur any liability of any kind with respect to any Lender with respect to the maintenance of the Register. It is the intention that the Loans and Commitments be treated as registered obligations and in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code, and that the right, title, and interest of the Lenders in and to those Loans and Commitments be transferable only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

15.8

Governing Law. This Agreement and each Note is a contract made under and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within that state, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

15.9

Confidentiality. As required by federal law and Administrative Agent’s policies and practices, Administrative Agent may need to obtain, verify, and record certain customer identification information and documentation in connection with opening or maintaining accounts, or establishing or continuing to provide services. Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts Administrative Agent or that Lender applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain as confidential all non-public information provided to them by any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, except that Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any information as follows: (a) to Persons employed or engaged by Administrative Agent or that Lender or that Lender’s Affiliates or Approved Funds in evaluating, approving, structuring, or administering the Loans and the Commitments so long as such Person is bound by the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement; (b) to any assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply with the covenant contained in this Section 15.9 (and any such assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose any such information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in clause (a) of this Section 15.9 but in all cases subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement); (c) as required or requested by any federal or state regulatory authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association, or as reasonably believed by Administrative Agent or that Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena, or legal or administrative order or process, but Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, shall (i) use reasonable efforts to give the applicable Loan Party written notice prior to disclosing the information to the extent permitted by that requirement, request, court decree, subpoena, or legal or administrative order or process, and (ii) disclose only that portion of the confidential information as Administrative Agent or that Lender reasonably believes, or as counsel for Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, advises Administrative Agent or that Lender, that it must disclose pursuant to that requirement; (d) as Administrative Agent or that Lender reasonably believes, or on the advice of Administrative Agent’s or that Xxxxxx’s counsel, is required by law; (e) in connection with the exercise or potential exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents pursuant to legal or judicial process or in connection with any litigation to which Administrative Agent or that Lender is a party; (f) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Xxxxxx’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to that Lender but only so long as such agency agrees to the confidentiality provisions hereof or is otherwise bound by customary confidentiality requirements; (g) to any Affiliate of Administrative Agent or any Lender who might provide bank products and cash management services to the Loan Parties but in all cases subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof; (h) to that Xxxxxx’s independent auditors and other professional advisors as to which that information has been identified as confidential; or (i) if that information ceases to be confidential through no fault of Administrative Agent or any Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxxxxx consents to the publication by Administrative Agent or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in consultation with Xxxxxxxx, and Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements. If any provision of any confidentiality agreement, non-disclosure agreement, or other similar agreement between Borrower and any Lender conflicts with or contradicts this Section 15.9 with

102

respect to the treatment of confidential information, then this Section 15.9 will supersede all such prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties.

15.10

Severability. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement is to be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, that provision will be ineffective to the extent of that prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of that provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

15.11

Nature of Remedies. All Obligations of the Loan Parties and rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressed in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document are in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

15.12

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of all such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof (except as relates to the fees described in Section 5.1) and any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by the Loan Parties of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs, or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

15.13

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts. Each such counterpart will be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts will together constitute but one and the same Agreement. Receipt of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission will constitute effective delivery thereof. Electronic records of executed Loan Documents maintained by the Lenders will be deemed to be originals.

15.14

Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds Borrower, the Lenders, Administrative Agent, and their respective successors and assigns and will inure to the benefit of Xxxxxxxx, the Lenders, and Administrative Agent and the successors and assigns of the Lenders and Administrative Agent. No other Person is or is intended to be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. No Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or Obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender.

Each Lender and Monroe Capital (each for itself and not on behalf of any other party) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow that Lender or Monroe Capital, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

15.17

Indemnification by Loan Parties. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the agreement to extend the

103

Commitments provided under this Agreement, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate, and hold harmless Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of the officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents, and Approved Funds of Administrative Agent and each Lender (each, a “Lender Party”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses, including Attorney Costs (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Lender Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any tender offer, merger, purchase of capital securities, purchase of assets or other similar transaction financed or proposed to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any of the Loans; (b) the use, handling, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any Hazardous Substance at any property owned or leased by any Loan Party, any Environmental Claim related to any Loan Party, and any liability arising under Environmental Law of or related to any Loan Party; (c) the execution, delivery, performance, or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any of the Lender Parties, in each case except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising on account of the applicable Lender Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking is unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. All obligations provided for in this Section 15.17 will survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or any modification, release, or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents and termination of this Agreement. This Section 15.17 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

15.18

Non-Liability of Lenders.

(a)

The relationship between Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders and Administrative Agent on the other hand is solely that of borrower and lender. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Loan Party to review or inform any Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of any Loan Party’s business or operations. Xxxxxxxx agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any liability to any Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission, or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that those losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought.

(b)

No Lender Party will be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement. No Lender Party will have any liability with respect to, and Xxxxxxxx, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue for, any special, punitive, exemplary, indirect, or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).

(c)

Each Loan Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party.

104

No joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Loan Parties and the Lenders.

15.19

Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. Any litigation based hereon, or arising out of, under, or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, will be brought and maintained exclusively in the courts of the State of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, but nothing in this Agreement will be deemed or operate to preclude Administrative Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction. Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any such litigation as set forth above. Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of New York. Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it now has or hereafter might have to the laying of venue of any such litigation brought in any such court referred to above and any claim that any such litigation has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

15.20

Waiver of Jury Trial. Xxxxxxxx, Administrative Agent, and each Lender hereby waives any right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding to enforce or defend any rights under this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, and any amendment, instrument, document, or agreement delivered or which might in the future be delivered in connection with this Agreement or therewith or arising from any lending relationship existing in connection with any of the foregoing, and agrees that any such action or proceeding will be tried before a court and not before a jury.

15.21

Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement, or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in that EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
