(ii)60%, if the relevant BPO with respect to such Borrowing Base Asset is 24 months old or older as of such date of determination;

(iii)irrespective of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), 50% for any Credit Tenant Lease Asset if (x) the vacancy rate with respect to such Credit Tenant Lease Asset is greater than 20% as of such date of determination, (y) the weighted average remaining lease term with respect to such Credit Tenant Lease Asset is less than two (2) years as of such date of determination or (z) the Borrower is not receiving any income from such Credit Tenant Lease Asset as of such date of determination but such Credit Tenant Lease Asset has not become a Non-Cash Flow Tenant Lease Asset as of such date of determination;

The Administrative Agent will promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) distribute to each Bank its ratable share in accordance with the amount of such Bank’s relevant outstanding Loans, of each such payment

- 27 -

received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks. If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall receive any such payment for the account of the Banks on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day (or Eurodollar Business Day, as applicable), and the Administrative Agent shall not have distributed to any Bank its applicable share of such payment on such day, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such amount to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount should have been distributed to such Bank until the date the Administrative Agent distributes such amount to such Bank, at the Federal Funds Rate. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Eurodollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Eurodollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Eurodollar Business Day unless such Eurodollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the immediately preceding Eurodollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.13.[Reserved].

Section 2.15.Computation of Interest and Fees. With respect to Base Rate Loans, the rate of interest on which is calculated based on the Prime Rate hereunder, interest thereon shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 2.16.Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans for general corporate purposes, including without limitation, the repayment of the Borrower’s debt obligations, the acquisition of assets and to fund capital expenditures and general working capital needs of the Borrower, in each case, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.18.Collateral and Covered Assets.

(b)On the Closing Date, the Covered Assets shall consist of the assets listed on the Collateral and Covered Asset List delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.1(r). Thereafter, the Borrower may add assets as Covered Assets and Borrowing Base Assets, subject to the limitations described in this Agreement, and withdraw or substitute (and the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to release liens thereon) any Covered Asset so long as (I) no Payment Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (II) the Facility Collateral Coverage Ratio as of the date of such proposed withdrawal or substitution is greater than 1.90 to 1.00, in the case of both clauses (I) and (II), after giving pro forma effect to such proposed withdrawal or substitution, (III) the inclusion of any new asset as a Covered Asset would not conflict with any of the terms of the debt documents governing any of the Borrower’s material Indebtedness, and an officer of the Borrower shall certify as to the absence of any such conflict prior to or substantially contemporaneously with such inclusion, (IV) the Borrower shall have complied with Section 5.1(n), after giving effect thereto, (i) the Total Revolving Loans shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Total Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base and (V) the representations and warranties of the Covered Parties contained in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified by “materiality,” “material adverse effect” or similar language, in all respects (after giving effect to such qualification)) on and as of the date of such addition, withdrawal or substitution after giving effect thereto.

(c)An asset previously withdrawn as a Covered Asset pursuant to the terms hereof may be subsequently redesignated as a Covered Asset and a Borrowing Base Asset provided it satisfies the criteria described in this Agreement and subject to delivery of a BPO with respect to such asset in accordance with Section 5.1(k)(ii). The Borrower may also withdraw an asset as a Covered Asset (and the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to release liens thereon) at any time if the Borrowing Base Value of such asset is zero. Other than as set forth in this Section 2.18(b), an asset may not be withdrawn as a Covered Asset and the Covered Subsidiaries shall at all times own the Covered Assets. Such withdrawal, and where appropriate release of lien, shall be effected in accordance with Section 9.17 and the Collateral Documents.

(d)With respect to any addition of a Covered Asset, the Borrower shall promptly (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such amendments to the Security Agreement as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a perfected first priority security interest in the Capital Stock of the Subsidiary that owns such Covered Asset, (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) the certificates representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, in blank, executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of such Subsidiary, and (B) the documents described in Section 3.1(g) as to such Subsidiary, (iii) cause such Subsidiary (A) to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Acknowledgment and Consent in the form attached to the Security Agreement, (B) to become a party to the Negative Pledge Agreement, (C) to become party to the Affiliate Subordination Agreement, and (D) to take such actions necessary or

(e)If at any time, there are less than ten (10) Borrowing Base Assets, the Borrower shall within 30 days after such occasion prepay the Loans to zero or cause one or more additional Eligible Credit Tenant Lease Assets or Eligible Loan Assets to become Covered Assets (and Borrowing Base Assets) in accordance with this Section 2.18 and no Loans shall be made, and the Borrower shall not request any Loans, until such time as there are ten (10) or more Borrowing Base Assets.

Section 2.19.Defaulting Bank. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.8(a);

(b)the Commitment and Loans of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether the Required Banks or Super Majority Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.5); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Bank in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Bank or each Bank affected thereby;

(c)the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Defaulting Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Defaulting Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.6), all its Available Commitments under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld; provided further that nothing contained in this clause (c) shall affect the obligations due to such Defaulting Bank; and

(d)the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement), apply any amounts thereafter received by it from any Covered Party for the account of such Defaulting Bank to satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agrees that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

- 35 -

exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code or an application for such a letter is currently pending before the Internal Revenue Service and, to the knowledge of Borrower, nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of the determination letter which would cause such employee benefit plan or Plan to lose its qualified status; and (vi) no liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any employee benefit plan and Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by any member of the ERISA Group. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have no contingent liabilities with respect to any post retirement benefits under a Welfare Plan, other than liability for continuation coverage described in article 6 of Title 1 of ERISA, and except as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. In the event that at any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower or any other Covered Party shall become a member of any other material Plan or Multiemployer Plan, the Borrower promptly shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof (and from and after such notice, Schedule 4.6(a) shall be deemed modified thereby).

(b)No assets of the Borrower or any other Covered Party constitute “assets” (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including, but not limited to, 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 or any successor regulation thereto) of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code. In addition to the prohibitions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and not in limitation thereof, the Borrower covenants and agrees that the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any other Covered Party to, use any “assets” (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including but not limited to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3101) of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code to repay or secure the Note, the Loan, or the Obligations.

Section 4.7.Environmental. (a) The Borrower conducts reviews of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries when necessary in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including, without limitation, employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including, without limitation, the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) neither the Borrower nor any other Covered Party has received any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any other Covered Party (the “Properties”) or the business operated by the Borrower or any other Covered Party (the “Business”) that is not fully and finally resolved, (ii) to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, after due inquiry, no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, after due inquiry, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any other Covered Party is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law or relating to Materials of Environmental Concern with respect to the Business; and (iii) to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance, and have in the last five years been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental

- 36 -

Laws, and there are no Materials of Environmental Concern at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business.

Section 4.8.Taxes. The Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries have filed all U.S. federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower, or any Consolidated Subsidiary, except (i) such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and are reserved against in accordance with GAAP or (ii) such tax returns or such taxes, the failure to file when due or to make payment when due and payable will not have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate. No Tax lien (other than a Permitted Lien) has been filed, and, to the knowledge of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, no claim is being asserted , with respect to any such Tax, fee or other charge.

Section 4.9.Full Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished by the Borrower or any other Covered Party to the Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is stated or certified; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents and warrants only that such information represents the Borrower’s expectations regarding future performance, based upon historical information and reasonable assumptions, it being understood, however, that actual results may differ from the projected results described in the financial projections.

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENTS; CERTAIN MATTERS RELATING TO THE BANKS

Section 7.1.Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as set forth in Section 7.8 hereof, the provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the other Agents and the Banks, and the Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Banks and shall not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any other Covered Party. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agents.

Section 7.3.Action by Agents.

(a)The obligations of each of the Agents hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Agents shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Article VI. The duties of each Agent shall be administrative in nature. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, Section 7.5 and Section 7.6, each Agent shall administer the Loans in the same manner as each administers its own loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Banks, (c) except for notices, reports and other documents expressly

- 51 -

required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Covered Party or any affiliate of the Covered Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys in fact or affiliates and (d) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel) exposes it to personal liability or which is contrary to the Loan Documents or applicable law.

(b)The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact (including without limitation, a custodian to administer the Collateral) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into such documents and instruments as it deems reasonably necessary to implement its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 7.4.Consultation with Experts. As between any Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, such Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.5.Liability of Agents. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of their affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any Borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any other Covered Party; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to such Agent, or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents shall incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, email message, facsimile or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Bank or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order 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 the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Administrative Agent may

- 52 -

presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the applicable extension of credit or other action.

Section 7.6.Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitments or Loans, as applicable, outstanding, indemnify the Agents and their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents, advisors and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitee may suffer or incur in connection with its duties as Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitee hereunder. In the event that any Agent shall, subsequent to its receipt of indemnification payment(s) from Banks in accordance with this section, recoup any amount from the Borrower, or any other party liable therefor in connection with such indemnification, such Agent shall reimburse the Banks which previously made the payment(s) pro rata, based upon the actual amounts which were theretofore paid by each Bank. Each Agent shall reimburse such Banks so entitled to reimbursement within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of such funds from the Borrower or such other party liable therefor. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Bank, an indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not an indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 7.7.Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

Section 7.8.Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 10 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be the Administrative Agent, who shall act until the Required Banks shall appoint an Administrative Agent. Any appointment of a successor Administrative Agent by Required Banks or the retiring Administrative Agent, pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation (and no successor agent has been appointed as successor Administrative Agent by the retiring Administrative Agent), the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Banks shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its

- 53 -

benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.8.

Section 7.9.Exculpation of BPO Broker. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees, for the benefit of the Agents, the Borrower and each of the BPO Brokers and each of their respective affiliates and each of their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, auditors, advisors and other representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”), as follows:

(a)Each BPO Broker prepared its respective BPO relying primarily on information provided by the Borrower, and neither any BPO Broker nor any Agent is responsible or liable for any inaccuracy or omission in the information provided to the BPO Brokers by the Borrower. None of the BPO Brokers or Agents has made or makes any express or implied representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information.

(b)None of the BPO Brokers or Agents has any obligation to engage in any further diligence regarding the information provided to it by the Borrower or to obtain any additional information for purposes of the BPO Brokers preparing their respective BPOs.

(c)None of the BPO Brokers or Agents has engaged an auditor to perform an audit or review of the financial statements of the Borrower, and none of the BPO Brokers or Agents is providing any assurance of the accuracy of the information in such financial statements.

(d)There is no assurance that the BPOs will accurately predict the actual future performance and/or operations of any asset and/or property reviewed for purposes of the BPOs.

(e)No Agent shall be responsible or liable for the preparation or the contents of the BPOs or such Bank’s use of the BPOs, and such Bank agrees that such Bank will not bring or assert any claim, suit or action against any Agent or any of its Representatives with respect to, or arising out of, the BPOs or such Bank’s use thereof.

Section 7.10.Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Covered Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its

- 54 -

agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent hereunder. Nothing in this Section 7.10 shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Bank to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank in any such proceeding.

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 8.1.Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks determine in good faith that deposits in Dollars are not being offered in the relevant market for such Interest Period or that the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Banks or the Required Banks, as the case may be, of making, funding or maintaining such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make, continue, or convert Loans into, Eurodollar Loans in Dollars shall be suspended. In such event, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent on or before the second (2^nd) Eurodollar Business Day before, but excluding, the date of any Eurodollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 8.2.Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, 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 compliance by any Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful for any Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Eurodollar Loans in a particular currency, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank in the case of the event described above to make Eurodollar Loans in such currency, shall be suspended. With respect to Eurodollar Loans, before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.2, such Bank shall designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise commercially disadvantageous to such Bank.

If at any time, it shall be unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain or fund any of its Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to either (x) cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Loans of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon and all other amounts due to such Bank are concurrently therewith paid in full to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Loans of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest due thereon and any and all fees and other amounts due hereunder.

Section 8.3.Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a)If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, 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 compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, (i) shall subject any Bank to any tax on its capital reserves (or any similar tax) with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loan made by it (except for Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes covered by Section 8.4 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income or profits of such Bank); (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Loan any such requirement reflected in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve Percentage)), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or (iii) shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition materially more burdensome in nature, extent or consequence than those in existence as of the date hereof affecting such Bank’s Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect to such Eurodollar Loans, by an amount reasonable determined by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts (based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by such Bank to the Eurodollar Loans made by such Bank hereunder) as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances; provided however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(b)If any Bank shall have reasonably determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, 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 any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in

- 56 -

connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

(d)Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Bank shall fail to notify the Borrower of any such event within ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then the Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Bank as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90^th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified the Borrower of the occurrence of such event. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e)If at any time, any Bank has demanded compensation pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) in accordance with Section 9.6(c), cause an Assignee to offer to purchase the Loans of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts due to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Loans of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon.

Section 8.4.Taxes.

(a)Any and all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by (A) the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof, (B) in the case of each Bank, the jurisdiction of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or (C) any other jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) as a result of a present or former connection between such Bank or the Administrative Agent and such other jurisdiction, except to the extent that such connection would not have arisen but for entering into the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”); provided that, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, as determined in good faith by the applicable withholding agent, (w) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including, without limitation, deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.4) such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (x) the Borrower shall make or cause to be made such deductions, (y) the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law

- 57 -

and (z) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b)In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c)The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.4) payable or paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability for penalties and interest arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(d)Each Bank that is a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service and shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with two further copies of any such form on or before the date any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Bank that is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with two duly completed copies of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BENE, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY as applicable to such Bank, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with two further copies of any such form on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. A Bank that provides copies of the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BENE and that is legally entitled to claim the portfolio interest exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code, shall further provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with, together with such Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BENE, a written confirmation of its entitlement to such exemption substantially in the form of Exhibit J. To the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, a Bank shall properly claim that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of, or eliminates, withholding tax on payments of interest hereunder. A Bank that is not a United States person and that grants a participating interest in a Loan or Commitment to any other Person shall provide, in addition to its own forms specified above, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with two duly completed copies of the Internal Revenue Service form applicable to such other Person, each under the cover of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and a withholding statement prepared in the manner prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, or such other forms and/or certificates evidencing such Participant’s entitlement to any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of U.S. withholding tax, and shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with two further copies of any such forms and statements on or before the date any such forms or statements expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any

- 58 -

event requiring a change in the most recent form or statement previously delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Bank that is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax 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 requirements of law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. If a Bank fails to timely and properly provide or update such forms or statements (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequently to the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement) or if the form or statement provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States withholding tax rate in excess of zero, then backup withholding or withholding tax resulting from the foregoing shall be considered excluded from “Non-Excluded Taxes” as defined in Section 8.4(a), except to the extent that, in the case of United States withholding tax, such Bank’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower or its Consolidated Subsidiary with respect to such United States withholding tax. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d)(i), no Bank shall be required to deliver any form, statement, certificate or supplementary documentation pursuant to this paragraph (d)(i) that such Bank is not legally able to deliver.

(e)Upon reasonable demand by, and at the expense of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to any Bank, the Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or to such government or taxing authority as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably direct, any form or document that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow a payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form or document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent making such demand and to be executed and to be delivered with any reasonably required certification.

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

(g)For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to (and to the extent required by) paragraph (d)(i) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.4(c) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States, to the extent that such Non-Excluded Taxes would not have been imposed but for such Bank’s failure to provide such form; provided, however, that should a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to

- 59 -

a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such taxes so long as the Borrower shall incur no cost or liability as a result thereof.

(h)If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 8.4, then such Bank will, if requested in writing by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, will not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank; provided, that nothing in this Section 8.4(h) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Bank pursuant to this Section 8.4. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such change.

(i)If at any time, any Bank has demanded compensation pursuant to Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 or the obligation of such Bank to make Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2, in any such case, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) in accordance with Section 9.6(c), cause an Assignee to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts due to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon; provided that (i) any replacement of a Bank under this paragraph does not conflict with any organizational or governing documents of any Person and any law, treaty rule or regulation applicable to or binding upon such Person or any of its property, (ii) prior to any replacement under this paragraph, such Bank shall have taken no action under Section 8.4(h) so as to eliminate the continued need for payments of amounts owing pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4, (iii) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (iv) the replaced Bank shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (v) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4, as the case may be, and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Bank shall have against the replaced Bank.

(j)Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any taxation authority or other authority, that are attributable to (i) such Bank (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) or (ii) such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (j).

- 60 -

(k)Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Loan Documents.

Section 8.5.Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Eurodollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 with respect to its Eurodollar Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:

(a)the Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate Election with respect to such affected Eurodollar Loans and thereafter all Loans which would otherwise be continued or converted by such Bank to the Borrower as Eurodollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans; and

(b)after each of its Eurodollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Eurodollar Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead; and

(c)the Borrower will not be required to make any payment which would otherwise be required by Section 2.14 with respect to such Eurodollar Loans converted to Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (a) above.

Section 9.3.Expenses; Indemnification.

(a)The Borrower shall pay within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of special counsel Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP) in connection with any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder, (ii) all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of special counsel in connection with the syndication of the Loans, and (iii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, including, without limitation, reasonable and invoiced fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks, in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents and the instruments referred to therein and such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom (provided, however, that the attorneys’ fees and disbursements for which the Borrower is obligated under this subsection (a)(iii) shall be limited to the reasonable and invoiced non-duplicative fees and disbursements of (A) counsel for the Administrative Agent, and (B) counsel for all of the Banks as a group; and provided, further, that all other costs and expenses for which the Borrower is obligated under this subsection (a)(iii) shall be limited to the reasonable and invoiced non-duplicative costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent).

In addition, the indemnification set forth in this Section 9.3(b) in favor of any director, officer, agent or employee of any Agent or any Bank shall be solely in their respective capacities as such director, officer, agent or employee. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section

- 62 -

shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. Without limitation of the other provisions of this Section 9.3, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold each of the Agents and the Banks free and harmless from and against all loss, costs (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses), expenses, taxes, and damages (including consequential damages) that the Agents and the Banks may suffer or incur by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA or the Code necessary in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment by reason of the inaccuracy of the representations and warranties, or a breach of the provisions, set forth in Section 4.6(a). In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s equity holders or creditors, an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto.

Section 9.4.Sharing of Set-Offs. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Bank (including, without limitation, by branches, agencies and Affiliates of such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower then due and payable to such Bank under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Bank; provided that if any Defaulting Bank shall exercise any such right of set-off, (i) all amounts so set-off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks and (ii) the Defaulting Banks shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Bank as to which it exercised such right of set-off. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan made by it, which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank with respect to such due amount, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans made by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans made by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that, but subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 9.4, nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have to any deposits not received in connection with the Loans and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Loans. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank may, by separate agreement with the Borrower, waive its right to set off contained herein or granted by law and any such written waiver shall be effective against such Bank under this Section 9.4.

Section 9.5.Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative

Agent in its capacity as the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided that no amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall, unless signed by (x) each Bank directly affected thereby, (i) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (ii) postpone, whether through forbearance or otherwise, the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitments, (iii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Banks” or “Super Majority Banks” or otherwise change the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document, (iv) release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly permitted by the Collateral Documents or this Agreement), (v) modify the provisions of this Section 9.5, (vi) increase, extend or restate the Commitments of any Bank or subject any Bank to any additional obligation hereunder, or (vii) amend, modify or waive the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or any other provision that provides for the ratable or pro rata nature of disbursements by or payments to Banks, (y) each Bank, amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 2.10 and Section 2.11, and (z) the Super Majority Banks, amend, modify or waive the definition of “Borrowing Base” or any component thereof or definition used therein if such amendment, modification or waiver is has the effect of increasing the Borrowing Base.

(b)The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Bank, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Bank. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Covered Party in any case shall entitle any Covered Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 9.5 shall be binding upon each Bank at the time outstanding, each future Bank and, if signed by a Covered Party, on such Covered Party.

Section 9.6.Successors and Assigns.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of all Banks and the Administrative Agent and (ii) a Bank may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its interest under this Agreement except as permitted in subsection (b) and (c) of this Section 9.6.

(b)Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time, grant to a then existing Bank or any Affiliate thereof, one or more banks, finance companies, insurance companies or other financial institutions or trusts (a “Participant”) participating interests in any or all of its Commitments or Loans. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time grant to any Person in any amount (also a “Participant”), participating interests in any or all of its Loans. Any participation made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be affected by the subsequent cure of such Event of Default. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this

- 64 -

Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in Section 9.5(a)(x) or (y) without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 8.4(d) shall be delivered to the participating Bank) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 9.6; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 8.3 and Section 8.4 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.3 or Section 8.4, with respect to any participation, than its participating Bank would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any requirement, interpretation or application of law or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or relevant authority made subsequent to the Closing Date that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Bank that grants participating interests in any or all of its Commitments or Loans, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and principal amount of the Commitment or Loan and interest owing to each Participant (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligations to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(c)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (c)(ii) below, any Bank may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”), other than a natural person, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments or Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A)the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Bank, an affiliate of a Bank, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and

(B)the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Loan to a Bank, an affiliate of a Bank, an Approved Fund or an assignment to the Borrower as contemplated by Section 2.13.

(ii)Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Bank, an affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (which shall be calculated as necessary to include any

- 65 -

concurrent assignments by the assignor to an affiliate, or an Approved Fund, of the assignee) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Bank and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B)(1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (other than in the case of an assignment to the Borrower as contemplated by Section 2.13) and (2) the assigning Bank shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and

(C)the Assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

For the purposes of this Section 9.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank.

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.3, 8.4 and 9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower and permitting access thereto to the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and each of their Assignees, and principal amount of the Loans and interest owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Bank and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Bank hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in

- 66 -

paragraph (c)(ii)(B) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (c)(i) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(d)Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

(e)No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made (i) with the Borrower’s prior written consent, (ii) by reason of the provisions of Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or (iii) at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

Section 9.7.Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Judgment Currency. (a)THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b)Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, in each case, which are located in New York County, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts from any thereof. The Borrower irrevocably consents, for itself, to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the hand delivery, or mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address for notice as provided under Section 9.1 hereof. The Borrower hereby, for itself, irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

(c)If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the spot rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the first currency could be purchased in New York City with such other currency by the person obtaining such judgment on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(d)The parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the obligations of the Borrower to make payments in any currency of the principal of and interest on the Loans of the Borrower and any other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Administrative Agent as provided herein (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with Section 9.7(c)), in any

- 67 -

currency other than the relevant currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent at its relevant office on behalf of the Banks of the full amount of the relevant currency expressed to be payable in respect of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due hereunder (it being assumed for purposes of this clause (i) that the Administrative Agent will convert any amount tendered or recovered into the relevant currency on the date of such tender or recovery), (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the relevant currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the relevant currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by an unrelated judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Agreement.

Section 9.8.Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by email or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Section 9.13.Recourse Obligation. This Agreement and the Obligations hereunder are fully recourse to the Borrower.
