(e) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of the risk participation exposure of the Departing Lender in respect of the Existing Secured Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be assumed by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Percentages of the Secured Facility; and the Departing Lender shall not be a party to this Agreement and shall have no further obligation to advance Loans or extend credit to either Borrower or bear any LC Exposure in respect of any Letters of Credit.

Section 2.02. Revolving Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Interest Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Unsecured Facility Commitments, as the Borrower Agent may request (subject to Section 2.14) in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan

- 34 -

by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan. Any exercise of such option shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligation to repay such Loan as provided herein.

(b) At the beginning of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, the aggregate amount of such Borrowing shall be an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $2,000,000. When each Base Rate Borrowing is made, the aggregate amount of such Borrowing shall be an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that a Base Rate Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that (i) is equal to the entire unused balance of the Unsecured Facility Commitments or (ii) is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of more than one Interest Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five (5) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Borrowers will not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

Section 2.03. Requests to Borrow Loans. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Prevailing Eastern Time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Prevailing Eastern Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or e-mail transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Agent. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the Borrowers’ account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Interest Type of a Borrowing is specified, the requested Borrowing will be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to a requested Eurodollar Borrowing is specified, the Borrower Agent will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly after it receives a Borrowing Request in accordance with this

- 35 -

Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender as to the details of such Borrowing Request and the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made pursuant thereto.

Section 2.04. Xxxxx River as a Borrower. The Borrower Agent may request that Xxxxx River be added as an additional Borrower hereunder by delivering written notice of such request to the Administrative Agent (the “Xxxxx River Request”) not less than forty-five (45) days, nor more than seventy-five (75) days prior to the effectiveness of such addition of Xxxxx River, so long as no Default exists on the date of the Xxxxx River Request or on the date of such effectiveness. After the Borrower Agent has delivered the Xxxxx River Request to the Administrative Agent, Xxxxx River, by execution of a Borrower Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit C hereto, and upon acceptance of such Borrower Joinder Agreement by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent’s notice to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower Agent confirming the Administrative Agent’s determination, in its sole discretion, that Xxxxx River has satisfied all conditions and completed all deliveries specified in the Borrower Joinder Agreement (which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the executed Borrower Joinder Agreement), this Agreement shall be deemed amended so that Xxxxx River shall become for all purposes a party to this Agreement as a Borrower, as if it were an original signatory hereto and shall be admitted as a Borrower hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding for all purposes upon Xxxxx River as if Xxxxx River was an original signatory hereto. The Borrower Joinder Agreement shall require, among other things, (i) a supplement to the Schedules provided by the Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement to reflect Xxxxx River as an additional Borrower, (ii) to the extent acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, an update of certain previously delivered Schedules to the date of the Borrower Joinder Agreement to reflect any change in the disclosures therein made, and (iii) the delivery of new promissory notes executed and delivered by each of the Parent, JRG Reinsurance, and Xxxxx River. Upon and subject to the effectiveness of such addition of Xxxxx River as a Borrower, Xxxxx River shall cease to be a Guarantor hereunder.

Section 2.05. Letters of Credit. (a) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each Existing Secured Letter of Credit shall constitute a “Secured Facility Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement, issued, for purposes of this Section 2.05, on the Restatement Effective Date (provided that any and all issuance fees accrued to the Restatement Effective Date in respect thereof pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement shall have been paid in full on or before the Restatement Effective Date; and provided further that fees may be due upon presentment of drafts); all of the risk participation exposures in respect of the Existing Secured Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be assumed by the Lenders holding Secured Facility Commitments ratably according to their respective Secured Facility Commitments; and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer hereby agree that, from and after such date, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the Existing Secured Letters of Credit, superseding any other agreement theretofore applicable to them to the extent inconsistent with the terms hereof. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may, by and through the Borrower Agent, request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or for the account of a Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period. If the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower Agent to, or otherwise entered into by the Borrowers with, the applicable Letter of

- 36 -

Credit Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit are not consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower Agent shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements and a distribution list for doing so have been approved by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer) to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent (reasonably, and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days, in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of, as the case may be a Secured Facility Letter of Credit or an Unsecured Facility Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying (i) whether such Letter of Credit is requested under the Secured Facility or the Unsecured Facility, (ii) the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.05(c)), (iv) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (v) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and (vi) such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by such Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrower Agent also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Letter of Credit Issuer’s standard form (with such changes as are agreed by such Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower Agent) in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (A) if such Letter of Credit is a Secured Facility Letter of Credit, the Total Outstanding Secured Facility Amount shall not exceed the lesser of (1) the Total Secured Facility Commitment then in effect and (2) the aggregate Collateral Value of the Eligible Collateral then held by the Administrative Agent, and (B) if such Letter of Credit is an Unsecured Facility Letter of Credit, the Total Outstanding Unsecured Facility Amount shall not exceed the Total Unsecured Facility Commitment then in effect.

(c) Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or before the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one (1) year after such Letter of Credit is issued (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, not later than one (1) year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser period as the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree in its sole discretion) before the Maturity Date. If the Borrower Agent so requests, a Letter of Credit shall have an automatic renewal provision; provided that any Letter of Credit that has an automatic renewal provision must permit the Letter of Credit Issuer thereof to prevent any such renewal by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than thirty (30) days prior to the renewal date of such Letter of Credit, and no such automatic renewal shall cause the expiry date to be later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser period as the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree in its sole discretion) before the Maturity Date. Once any such Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Letter of Credit Issuer to permit at any time the renewal of such Letter of Credit to an expiry date not later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser period as the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree in its sole discretion) before the Maturity Date.

- 37 -

(d) Effective upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer or the Lenders, such Letter of Credit Issuer grants to each Lender, and each Lender acquires from such Letter of Credit Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn thereunder. Pursuant to such participations, each Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, such Lender’s Percentage of (i) each LC Disbursement made by such Letter of Credit Issuer and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.05(e) and (ii) any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender’s obligation to acquire participations and make payments pursuant to this subsection is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Commitments, and each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) If any Letter of Credit Issuer makes any LC Disbursement under a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying an amount equal to such LC Disbursement to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., Prevailing Eastern Time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower Agent receives written notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received before 11:00 a.m., Prevailing Eastern Time, on the day of receipt or (ii) the next Business Day, if such notice is not received before 11:00 a.m. on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is at least $100,000, the Borrower Agent may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be made with the proceeds of a Base Rate Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Percentage thereof. Promptly after it receives such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as is provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. If a Lender makes a payment pursuant to this subsection to reimburse such Letter of Credit Issuer for any LC Disbursement (other than by funding Base Rate Loans as contemplated above), (i) such payment will not constitute a Loan and will not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement and (ii) such Lender will be subrogated to its pro rata share of such Letter of Credit Issuer’s claim against the Borrowers for such reimbursement. Promptly after the Administrative Agent receives any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this subsection, the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment to such Letter of Credit Issuer or, if Lenders have made payments pursuant to this subsection to reimburse such Letter of Credit Issuer, then to such Lenders and such Letter of Credit Issuer as their interests may appear.

(f) The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in

- 38 -

accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Letter of Credit Issuers. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of a Letter of Credit Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either (A) accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary or (B) refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall, promptly after its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Letter of Credit Issuer has made or will make an LC Disbursement pursuant thereto; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice will not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Unless the Borrowers reimburse an LC Disbursement in full on the day it is made (if notice is given to the Borrower Agent before 11:00 a.m., Prevailing Eastern Time, on the day the LC Disbursement is made or, otherwise, on the next Business Day), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the day on which such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the day on which the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.05(e), then Sections 2.13(c) and 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this subsection shall be for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, except that a pro rata share of interest accrued on and after the day that any Lender reimburses such Letter of Credit Issuer for a portion of such LC Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.05(e) shall be for the account of such Lender.

- 39 -

Section 2.06. Funding of Loans. (a) Each Lender making a Loan hereunder shall wire the principal amount thereof in immediately available funds, by 1:00 p.m., Prevailing Eastern Time, on the proposed date of such Loan, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent in Cleveland, Ohio and designated by the Borrower Agent in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Base Rate Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) will be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender before the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.06(a) and may, in reliance on such assumption, make a corresponding amount available to the Borrowers. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the day such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing of Loans initially shall be of the Interest Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may, by and through the Borrower Agent, elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Interest Type or, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, to continue such Borrowing for one or more additional Interest Periods, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Agent may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower Agent were requesting that a Borrowing of the Interest Type resulting from such election be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or e-mail transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Agent.

- 40 -

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02 and subsection (e) of this Section:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”.

If an Interest Election requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, the Borrowers will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly after it receives an Interest Election, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender as to the details thereof and such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower Agent fails to deliver a timely Interest Election with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing before the end of an Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrowing (unless repaid) will be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Agent, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) each Eurodollar Borrowing (unless repaid) will be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto on the date of such notice.

Section 2.08. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, all of the Commitments will terminate on the Revolving Availability Termination Date.

(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Secured Facility Commitments or the Unsecured Facility Commitments (or both) in whole or from time to time reduce the Secured Facility Commitments or the Unsecured Facility Commitments (or both) in part; provided that (i) the amount of each reduction (as distinct from termination in whole) of the Commitments a Facility shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000, (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Secured Facility Commitments if, after giving effect thereto, the total Secured Facility Exposures would exceed the Total Secured Facility Commitment, (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Unsecured Facility Commitments if, after giving

- 41 -

effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.10, the total Unsecured Facility Exposures would exceed the Total Unsecured Facility Commitment, and (iv) the Borrowers shall not reduce (as distinct from terminate in whole) the Commitments if, after giving effect thereto, the outstanding Commitments would be less than $50,000,000.

(c) The Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce any Commitments under Section 2.08(b), at least five (5) Business Days before the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly after it receives any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Agent pursuant to this Section will be irrevocable; provided that any such notice terminating any Commitments may state that it is conditioned on the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Agent (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or before the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Secured Facility Commitments will be permanent and will be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Secured Facility Commitments; and any termination or reduction of the Unsecured Facility Commitments will be permanent and will be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Unsecured Facility Commitments.

Section 2.09. Payment at Maturity; Evidence of Debt. (a) Subject, with respect to JRG Reinsurance, to Section 2.01(c), each Borrower jointly and severally unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent on the Maturity Date, for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Loans.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Interest Type thereof and each Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that any failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not affect the Borrowers’ joint and several obligation to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note; provided that a Lender’s obtaining or not obtaining such a promissory note shall not impair or otherwise affect the provisions of subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order

- 42 -

of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.10. Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers will have the right at any time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part without premium or penalty, but subject to the provisions of this Section and Section 2.16 provided that the aggregate amount of each such prepayment shall be an integral multiple of $50,000 and not less than $250,000.

(b) Mandatory Increase of Collateral or Prepayments. (i) If at any date the Total Outstanding Secured Facility Amount exceeds the lesser of (A) the Total Secured Facility Commitment and (B) the aggregate Collateral Value of the Eligible Collateral then held by the Administrative Agent, in each case determined as of such date, then not later than the next succeeding Business Day, the Borrowers shall be required to deposit with the Administrative Agent additional Eligible Collateral having a Collateral Value equal to such excess until the Total Outstanding Secured Facility Amount does not exceed the Total Secured Facility Commitment; and (ii) if at any date the Total Outstanding Unsecured Facility Amount exceeds the Total Unsecured Facility Commitment, determined as of such date, then not later than the next succeeding Business Day, the Borrowers shall be required to prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such excess until the Total Outstanding Unsecured Facility Amount does not exceed the Total Unsecured Facility Commitment.

(c) Allocation of Prepayments. Before any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower Agent shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(f).

(d) Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of a Borrowing shall be in an amount such that the remaining unpaid amount of such Borrowing would be permitted under Section 2.02(b) for a Borrowing of the same Interest Type, except as needed to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each partial prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.

(e) Accrued Interest. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

(f) Notice of Prepayments. Except with respect to a prepayment under Section 2.10(b), the Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or e-mail transmission) of any prepayment of any Borrowing hereunder (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than noon, Prevailing Eastern Time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than noon, Prevailing Eastern Time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be

- 43 -

prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08(c). Promptly after it receives any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.

Section 2.11. Optional Increase in Commitments. At any time prior to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Availability Termination Date, if no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result after giving effect thereto), the Borrowers, may, if they so elect, increase the aggregate amount of the Secured Facility Commitments (each such increase to be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000) or of the Unsecured Facility Commitments (each such increase to be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000) or a combination of both (in such proportion as the Parent shall specify), either by designating a financial institution not theretofore a Lender to become a Lender (such designation to be effective only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and only if such financial institution accepts a Commitment in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000), or by agreeing with one or more existing Lenders that such Lenders’ respective, as applicable, Secured Facility Commitment or Unsecured Facility Commitment shall be increased. Upon execution and delivery by the Borrowers and such Lender or other financial institution of an instrument (a “Commitment Acceptance”) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such existing Lender shall have a Commitment or Commitments as therein set forth or such other financial institution shall become a Lender with a Commitment or Commitments as therein set forth and with all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such a Commitment or Commitments hereunder, and any such other financial institution shall be deemed to be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without any amendment hereto or thereto and without the consent of any other party (other than those required above in this Section 2.11); provided:

(a) that the Borrower Agent shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the Lenders;

(b) that the Borrower Agent shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a copy of the Commitment Acceptance;

(c) that the amount of such increase, together with all other increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11 since the Restatement Effective Date, does not exceed $50,000,000;

(d) that, before and after giving effect to such increase, the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in Article 3 of this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects; provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to such qualification therein) in all respects as of such date; and

- 44 -

(e) that the Administrative Agent shall have received such evidence (including an opinion of Borrowers’ counsel) as it may reasonably request to confirm the Borrowers’ due authorization of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.11 and the validity and enforceability of the obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors resulting therefrom.

On the date of any such increase, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (e) above have been satisfied.

Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11:

(A) within five (5) Business Days, in the case of any Base Rate Borrowings then outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, in the case of any Eurodollar Borrowings then outstanding, the Borrowers shall prepay such Borrowing in its entirety and, to the extent the Borrowers elect to do so and subject to the conditions specified in Article 4, the Borrowers shall reborrow Loans from the Lenders in proportion to their respective Unsecured Facility Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until such time as all outstanding Loans are held by the Lenders in such proportion; provided that, at the request of the Borrowers, such repayments and reborrowings shall be effected through deemed repayments and reborrowings, with the Lenders making adjustments in cash among themselves with respect to the Loans then being deemed repaid and reborrowed and amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, in order to reallocate among the Lenders the outstanding principal of the Loans and other outstanding amounts, based on the revised Percentages resulting from such increase in the aggregate amount of the Unsecured Facility Commitments; and

(B) each existing Lender whose, as applicable, Secured Facility Commitment or Unsecured Facility Commitment has not increased pursuant to this Section 2.11 (each, a “Non-increasing Lender”) shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Lender whose, as applicable, Secured Facility Commitment or Unsecured Facility Commitment has been assumed or increased under this Section 2.11 (each, an “Increased Commitment Lender”), and each Increased Commitment Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from each Non-Increasing Lender, a participation (on the terms specified in Section 2.04(e) and 2.05(d), respectively) in each, as applicable, Secured LC Exposure or Unsecured LC Exposure in which such Non-Increasing Lender has acquired a participation in an amount equal to such Increased Commitment Lender’s Percentage thereof, until such time as all, as applicable, Secured LC Exposures or Unsecured LC Exposures are held by the Lenders in proportion to their respective, as applicable, Secured Facility Commitments or Unsecured Facility Commitments after giving effect to such increase.

Section 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue during the Revolving Availability

- 45 -

Period at the Applicable Rate on each of (i) the average daily Unused Secured Facility Commitment of such Lender and (ii) the average daily Unused Unsecured Facility Commitment of such Lender, in each case during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to the date on which such Commitment terminates. Such commitment fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter in respect of the quarter then ending and, with respect to the Commitment of a Lender, on the earlier date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated or assigned in whole. As used herein a Lender’s “Unused Secured Facility Commitment” shall mean, as of any day, an amount equal to (A) such Lender’s Secured Facility Commitment, minus (B) such Lender’s Secured Facility Exposure; and a Lender’s “Unused Unsecured Facility Commitment” shall mean, as of any day, an amount equal to (C) such Lender’s Unsecured Facility Commitment, minus (D) such Lender’s Unsecured Facility Exposure.

(b) The Borrowers shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue for each day, (A) with respect to Secured Facility Letters of Credit, at the rate of four-tenths percent (0.400%) per annum and (B) with respect to Unsecured Facility Letters of Credit, at the Applicable Rate that applies to Eurodollar Loans as of the date of issuance (or renewal or extension) of each Letter of Credit, in each case on the amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure in respect of such Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from the Restatement Effective Date to the later of the date on which such Lender’s, as the case may be, Secured Facility Commitment or Unsecured Facility Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any, as the case may be, Secured LC Exposure or Unsecured LC Exposure in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) to each Letter of Credit Issuer, with respect to Unsecured Facility Letters of Credit, a fronting fee in the amount of one-eighth percent (0.125%) of the amount of each Letter of Credit at issuance issued by it, as well as the fees separately agreed upon by the Borrowers, by and through the Borrower Agent, and such Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit or processing drawings thereunder; provided that upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the participation fee payable under clause (i), above, shall, after as well as before judgment, be computed at (A) with respect to Secured Facility Letters of Credit, two and four-tenths percent (2.400%) per annum and (B) with respect to Unsecured Facility Letters of Credit a rate per annum equal to, two percent (2.000%) plus such Applicable Rate. Accrued participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter in respect of the quarter then ending (commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date) and, with respect to a Lender, on the earlier date on which, as the case may be, the Secured Facility Commitment or the Unsecured Facility Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated or assigned in whole; provided that all such fees accrued to the date on which, as the case may be, the Secured Facility Commitments or the Unsecured Facility Commitments terminate will be payable on such date, and any such fees accruing after such date will be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Letter of Credit Issuers pursuant to this subsection will be payable within 10 days after demand. All such participation fees and fronting fees will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and will be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

- 46 -

(c) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

(d) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent (to the extent applicable, for its own account, for the account of the Arranger and for the account of each Lender) on the Restatement Effective Date such fees as are specified in the mandate letter between the Borrowers and the Arranger dated October 27, 2016.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and will be payable for the actual number of days elapsed and shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and utilization fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest for each day at the Alternate Base Rate, plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest for each Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, plus the Applicable Rate.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and continuing for so long as an Event of Default exists, (i) each Loan shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2.00%) plus the rate that otherwise would be applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding subsections of this Section, and (ii) any other sum then due and payable hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2.00%) plus the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans.

(e) Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Unsecured Facility Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.13(d) shall be payable on demand, (ii) upon any repayment of any Loan (except a prepayment of a Base Rate Loan before the end of the Revolving Availability Period), interest accrued on the principal amount repaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment and (iii) upon any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan before the end of the current Interest Period therefor, interest accrued on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) All interest hereunder will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to clause (a) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate will be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case will be payable for the actual number of

- 47 -

days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and its determination thereof will be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

Section 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If before the beginning of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) deposits in dollars in the applicable amounts are not being offered by banks generally in the London interbank market for such Interest Period;

(b) the Administrative Agent or Lenders having 50% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be included in such Borrowing determine that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, after giving effect to Section 2.15, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period; or

(iii) the Administrative Agent or Lenders having 50% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be included in such Borrowing determine that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the requested Interest Period as provided in Section 1.01 or that making or funding of Revolving Loans based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate has become impracticable,

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Agent and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Agent and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing will be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing will be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 2.15. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Letter of Credit Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of any payments to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.17 and the imposition of, or any change to, the rate of any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer); or

- 48 -

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such additional cost incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company reasonably could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time following receipt of the certificate referred to in subsection (c) of this Section, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate it or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be rebuttably presumed to be correct. Each such certificate shall contain a representation and warranty on the part of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer to the effect that such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer has complied with its obligations pursuant to Section 2.21 hereof in an effort to eliminate or reduce such amount. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay by any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section will not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers will not be required to compensate a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased cost or reduction incurred more than one year before it notifies the Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction and of its intention to claim compensation therefor. However, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the one year period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

- 49 -

(e) Within four (4) months following the date such certificate is furnished claiming compensation by any such Lender (an “Affected Lender”, which term shall also include a Lender making a demand under Section 2.17), the Borrowers may replace the Affected Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.15.

Section 2.16. Break Funding Payments. If (a) any principal of any Eurodollar Loan is repaid on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) any Eurodollar Loan is converted on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the Borrowers fail to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) any Eurodollar Loan is assigned on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Agent pursuant to Section 9.15, then the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for its loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost and expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the end of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have begun on the date of such failure), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the beginning of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17. Taxes. (a) All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if a Loan Party shall be required to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable will be increased as necessary so that, after all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) are made, each relevant Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Lender Party, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by such Lender Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender Party with respect to any payment by or obligation of the Borrowers under the Loan

- 50 -

Documents (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (unless such penalties, interest or expenses arise by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment delivered to the Borrower Agent by a Lender Party on its own behalf, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Lender Party, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. If the Borrowers have indemnified any Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.17(c), such Lender Party shall take such steps as the Borrower Agent shall reasonably request (at the Borrowers’ expense) to assist the Borrowers in recovering the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and any penalties or interest attributable thereto; provided that no Lender Party shall be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) unless, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, such action (i) would not subject such Lender Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (ii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender Party.

(d) Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender Party (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender Party’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register (as defined in said Section) and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender Party, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any such Lender Party by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after the Borrowers pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as will permit payments to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender shall to the extent requested by the Borrower Agent (i) furnish either (a) two (2) accurate and complete

- 51 -

originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (or successor form) (b) two (2) accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI (or successor form) or (c) two (2) accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8IMY and all requisite supporting documentation, certifying, in each case, to such Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all interest payments hereunder, and (ii) to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, upon reasonable request by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, provide a new Form W-8BEN (or successor form), Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or Form W-8IMY (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form to reconfirm any complete exemption from, or any entitlement to a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any interest payment hereunder; provided that any Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code and is claiming the “portfolio interest exemption” under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code shall also furnish a “Non-Bank Certificate” in the form from time to time specified by, as applicable, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Agent if it is furnishing a Form W-8BEN. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) The Administrative Agent and each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall furnish two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(h) The provisions of this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Loans.

(i) Within four (4) months following the date the Administrative Agent or a Lender shall make a written demand for Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrowers may replace the Affected Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.15.

Section 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-Offs. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them under the Loan Documents (whether of principal, interest or fees, reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17(c) or otherwise) before the time expressly required under the relevant Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, before noon,

- 52 -

Prevailing Eastern Time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amount received after such time on any day may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000 (or such other address as may from time to time be designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Agent in writing), except payments to be made directly to a Letter of Credit Issuer as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly after receipt thereof. Unless otherwise specified herein, if any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, if such payment accrues interest, interest thereon will be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or any of its participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this subsection shall not apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans and LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

- 53 -

(d) Unless, before the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more Lender Parties hereunder, the Administrative Agent receives from the Borrower Agent notice that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance on such assumption, distribute to each relevant Lender Party the amount due to it. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, each Lender Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender Party with interest thereon, for each day from and including the day such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the day it repays the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(d), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.19. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or Section 9.09 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.20; fourth, as the Borrower Agent may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.20; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers as a result

- 54 -

of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article 4 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Percentages without giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv), below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee under Section 2.12(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit participation fees under Section 2.12(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.20.

(C) With respect to any commitment fee under Section 2.12(a) or any Letter of Credit participation fee under Section 2.12(b) not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above the Borrowers shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Exposure that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (2) pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders having, as applicable, Secured Facility Commitments and Unsecured Facility Commitments in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s

- 55 -

Commitment) but only to the extent that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower Agent shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (B) such reallocation does not cause the Secured Facility Exposure or the Unsecured Facility Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s, respectively, Secured Facility Commitment or Unsecured Facility Commitment. Subject to Section 9.18, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under Law, Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.20.

(b) If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice, and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.19(a) above), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

Section 2.20. Cash Collateral. (a) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(b) Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuers, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as

- 56 -

security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Exposure, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.20 or Section 2.19 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Exposure (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Letter of Credit Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.19, the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Letter of Credit Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

Section 2.21. Lender’s Obligation to Mitigate. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or eliminate the amount of such compensation or additional amount, including without limitation, by designating a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or by assigning its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates; provided that no Lender shall be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment or other action (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 2.22. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Borrowings, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of any Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower Agent through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar

- 57 -

Borrowings or to convert Base Rate Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly following such determination. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Borrowings from such Lender to Base Rate Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Borrowings. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

- 58 -

any Lien on any property of any Loan Party (except for Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents).

Section 3.04. Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Parent has heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) the audited Consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and the related Consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the Fiscal Year then ended, reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) the unaudited Consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2016 and the related Consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the Fiscal Quarter then ended and for the portion of the Fiscal Year then ended, all certified by the Parent’s chief financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Consolidated financial position of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and its Consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above and show all material Indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof. None of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has on the date hereof any material contingent liabilities, material liabilities for taxes, material unusual forward or long-term commitments or material unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in said balance sheets as at said dates.

(b) Since December 31, 2015 there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, financial condition, contingent liabilities or material agreements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Loan Party has given or been requested to give a waiver of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of any Federal, state, local and foreign taxes or other impositions.

Section 3.11. Material Debt Agreements and Liens.

Each of the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries has obtained all environmental, health and safety permits, licenses and other authorizations required under all Environmental Laws to carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except to the extent failure to have any such permit, license or authorization would not (either individually or in the aggregate) have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of such permits, licenses and authorizations is in full force and effect and each of the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with the terms and conditions thereof, and is also in compliance with all other limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in any applicable Environmental Law or in any plan, order, decree, judgment, injunction, notice or demand letter issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder, except to the extent failure to comply therewith would not (either individually or in the aggregate) have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.14. No Reliance. Each Loan Party has made, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, its own decision to enter into this Agreement and has made (and will continue to make), independently and without reliance upon the Administrative

Agent or any Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate (or shall deem appropriate at the time), its own legal, credit and tax analysis of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 3.15. ERISA.

Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries, (i) has fulfilled all obligations under minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan that is not a Multiemployer Plan or a Multiple Employer Plan, (ii) has satisfied all respective contribution obligations in respect of each Multiemployer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, (iii) is in compliance in all respects with all other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan, each Multiemployer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, and (iv) has not incurred any liability under the Title IV of ERISA to the PBGC with respect to any Plan, any Multiemployer Plan, any Multiple Employer Plan, or any trust established thereunder, except (with respect to any matter specified in any of the above clauses), for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Plan or trust created thereunder has been terminated, and there have been no ERISA Events, with respect to any Plan or trust created thereunder or with respect to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, which termination or ERISA Event has or reasonably could result in the termination of such Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan and give rise to a liability of a Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate in respect thereof which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.15 hereto, neither a Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate is at the date hereof, or has been at any time within the five years preceding the date hereof, an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan. Each Plan that is intended to be so qualified under section 401(a) of the Code in fact is so qualified, except for any failure of qualification which individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement “welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in ERISA) except as has been disclosed prior to the date hereof to the Lenders in writing or on any financial statements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate provided to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or except for such contingent liabilities that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.16. Regulation U. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock.

- 63 -

Section 3.17. Disclosure. Each Loan Party has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All of the reports, financial statements, certificates and other written information (other than projected financial information) that have been made available by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Arranger, the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder, are complete and correct in all material respects and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrowers represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

Section 3.18. Solvency. Immediately after the Financing Transactions to occur on the Restatement Effective Date are consummated and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan made on the Restatement Effective Date and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan made on any other date, (a) the fair value of the assets of each Loan Party, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) each Loan Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (c) no Loan Party will have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and proposed to be conducted after the Restatement Effective Date.

Section 8.03. Limited Duties and Responsibilities. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) 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 in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, or be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries

- 85 -

that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Agent or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(b) To the extent that a Borrower is authorized to withdraw or otherwise obtain the release of collateral upon and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4.1 of its Pledge Agreement or an equivalent provision of any other Security Document, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release such collateral without the consent or approval of any Lender.

Section 8.04. Authority to Rely on Certain Writings, Statements and Advice. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall not incur any liability for relying on, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely on any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.05. Sub-Agents and Related Parties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through one or more sub-agents appointed by it.

The exculpatory provisions of the preceding Sections of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 8.06. Resignation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this Section, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time (and, upon the request of the Required Lenders, will so resign) by notifying the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Borrower Agent. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Parent (which shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that the consent

- 86 -

the Parent shall not be required if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank or financial institution, or an Affiliate of any such bank or financial institution.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower Agent and such Person, remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower Agent, appoint a successor to the Administrative Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers hereunder, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor, and without duplication, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrowers and such successor Administrative Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as an Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 8.07. Credit Decisions by Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue

- 87 -

to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based on this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.08. Agent’s Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon by the Parent and the Administrative Agent.

Each of the Lenders and Letter of Credit Issuers acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Letter of Credit Issuer’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other anti-terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, its Affiliates or its agents, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any record keeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

Section 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Lender Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lender Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by a Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

(vi) release a Guarantor from its obligations under its Payment Guaranty (other than Xxxxx River if it becomes a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.04) without the written consent of each Lender;

(vii) except for releases permitted under Section 8.03(b), release any material collateral under any Security Document without the written consent of each Lender;

(viii) except for an increase pursuant to Section 2.11 (which, as more fully provided below, is not an amendment, waiver or modification for purposes of this Section 9.02), increase the Unsecured Facility Commitment without the written consent of each Lender; or

(ix) impose any additional restriction on the ability of a Lender to assign any of its Loans, LC Exposure, Commitments and other rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of such Lender; and

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer without its respective prior written consent or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit without the Letter of Credit Issuer’s prior written consent; and provided further that neither a reduction or termination of Commitments pursuant to Section 2.08, nor an increase in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11, constitutes an amendment, waiver or modification for purposes of this Section 9.02.

(c) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, from time to time promulgate revised, replacement Schedule 2.01(a) and Schedule 2.01(b) (which, upon such promulgation, absent manifest error, shall become, respectively, Schedule 2.01(a) and Schedule 2.01(b) hereto), and the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, from time to time promulgate revisions or supplements to other Loan Documents to reflect changes in the parties constituting the Lenders and their respective Commitments pursuant to Assignments, revised, replacement Section 2.08 and revised, replacement Section 2.11, in each instance without the necessity of the agreement of the Borrowers and the Required Lenders.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of such Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrowers may replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 9.15; provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrowers to be made pursuant to this paragraph).

(a) The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (US) LLP, special counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Lender Party, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Lender Party, in connection with the replacement of any Lender pursuant to Section 9.15, and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents (including its rights under this Section) or the Loans and the Letters of Credit, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loans and the Letters of Credit.

(b) The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Lender Parties and their respective Related Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Financing Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Letter of Credit Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by a Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that (i) such indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnitee to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (ii) such indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnitee for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising out of a proceeding in which such Indemnitee and a Loan Party are adverse parties with respect to a claim brought by a Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, to the extent that a Loan Party prevails on the merits, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (it being understood that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a claim or suit by a Loan Party against any Indemnitee for such Indemnitee’s failure to perform any of its obligations to the Borrower under the Loan Documents); (iii) a Loan Party shall not, in connection with any such proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction and in the absence of conflicts of interest, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one law firm at any one time for the Indemnitees (which law

- 91 -

firm shall be selected (A) by mutual agreement of the Administrative Agent and a Loan Party or (B) if no such agreement has been reached following the Administrative Agent’s good faith consultation with a Loan Party with respect thereto, by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); (iv) each Indemnitee shall give the Borrower Agent (A) prompt notice of any such action brought against such Indemnitee in connection with a claim for which it is entitled to indemnity under this Section and (B) an opportunity to consult from time to time with such Indemnitee regarding defensive measures and potential settlement; and (v) the Loan Parties shall not be obligated to pay the amount of any settlement entered into without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, JRG Reinsurance shall not be liable for any of the foregoing expense reimbursement or indemnification obligations of any other Borrower.

(d) To the extent that a Loan Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based on its share of the sum of, as applicable, the total Secured Facility Exposures and unused Secured Facility Commitments at the time or the total Unsecured Facility Exposures and unused Unsecured Facility Commitments at the time.

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Financing Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(f) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within five Business Days after written demand therefor.

Section 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (except the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly provided herein, the Related Parties of the Lender Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

- 92 -

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of any Commitment it has at the time and any Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:

(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, each of the Parent and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of a Commitment or any Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure, and the Letter of Credit Issuers) must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the Parent shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(iii) unless each of the Parent and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, the amount of, as the case may be, the Secured Facility Commitment or the Unsecured Facility Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date on which the relevant Assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,000,000, and the remaining, as the case may be, Secured Facility Commitment or Unsecured Facility Commitment or Loans, if any, of the assigning Lender shall not be less than $2,000,000; provided that this clause (iii) shall not apply to an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Secured Facility Commitment or Unsecured Facility Commitment or Loans;

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that only one such fee shall be due in respect of a simultaneous assignment to more than one Lender Affiliate; and

(v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a completed Administrative Questionnaire.

And provided further that any consent of the Parent otherwise required under this subsection shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for

- 93 -

purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Cleveland, Ohio a copy of each Assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, their respective Commitments and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the parties hereto may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any party hereto at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), any processing and recordation fee referred to in, and payable pursuant to, subsection (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by subsection (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment 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 subsection.

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Parent or any other Lender Party, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (f) of this Section, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, 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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose

- 94 -

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.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Parent’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower Agent is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(g) 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 such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, (i) no such assignment shall be made to (A) the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any agent or representative thereof, (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) a natural Person; and (ii) no such assignment shall be made, or participation sold, by a Lender except in accordance with this Section 9.04.

(i) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Parent and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (i) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Section 9.05. USA PATRIOT Act. (a) Each Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and

- 95 -

address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

(b) Each Lender, each Letter of Credit Issuer or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Restatement Effective Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 9.06. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any principal of or accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable hereunder is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding or any Commitment has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Financing Transactions, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.07. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement (i) will become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have signed this Agreement and received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto and (ii) thereafter will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

- 96 -

Section 9.08. Severability. If any provision of any Loan Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent (but only to the extent) of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, (ii) the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Lender Parties in order to carry out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any such provision in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.09. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of a Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Debt and other obligations hereunder owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or Affiliates may have. Each Lender shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 9.10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Ohio sitting in Cuyahoga County and of the United States District Court of the Northern District of Ohio, and any relevant appellate court, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such Ohio state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in any such Federal court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other

manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that any Lender Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against such Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent shall cease to be available to act as such, each Loan Party agrees to designate a new designee, appoint and agent in New York City on the terms and for the purposes of this provision reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 9.13. Confidentiality. Each Lender Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party relating to such Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to any Lender Party on a nonconfidential basis before disclosure by such Loan Party; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties hereto and each of their employees, representatives or other agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that have been provided to them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

Section 9.14. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged or otherwise received by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such Lender shall have received such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of payment.

Section 9.15. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any circumstance exists under Section 9.02 that gives the Borrowers the right to replace a non-consenting Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions

- 99 -

contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(a) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(iv);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.12(a) and any LC Disbursements funded by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

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

Section 9.16. Bermuda Law Event. To the extent that the making by any Loan Party of any covenant set forth in either of Articles 5 and 6 or in any of the Loan Documents is for such Loan Party not permitted by, or is unlawful under or is in violation of, any Bermuda Law pertaining to xxxxxxx on statutory powers, then such covenant shall be deemed not made by nor applicable to such Loan Party; but if such Loan Party shall take or fail to take any action which would have breached such covenant had the same been applicable to such Loan Party, such action or failure to take action shall (after giving effect to such notice and cure period, if any, that would have applied to a breach of such covenant under Section 7.01 hereof or other equivalent provision of another applicable Loan Document) constitute a “Bermuda Law Event.”

Section 9.17. Borrower Agent. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates the Borrower Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder on behalf of such Borrower, and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay over or credit proceeds of all Loans hereunder in accordance with the request of the Borrower Agent. The Borrower Agent hereby acknowledges such designation and authorization, and accepts such appointment. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Borrower Agent to take such action on its behalf under the respective provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any other instruments, documents and agreements referred to herein or therein, and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Borrower Agent by the respective terms and provisions hereof and thereof, and such other powers as are reasonably incidental

- 100 -

thereto, including, without limitation, to submit on behalf of each Borrower Loan Requests, and notices of conversion or continuation of Loans to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower Agent is further authorized and directed by each of the Borrowers to take all such actions on behalf of such Borrower necessary to exercise the specific powers granted in the preceding sentences of this paragraph and to perform such other duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and deliver such documents as delegated to or required of the Borrower Agent by the terms hereof or thereof. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Documents from the Borrower Agent as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower hereunder to the Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

(b) The administration of this Agreement as a co-borrowing facility with the Borrower Agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers and at their request. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to the Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies the Administrative Agent and each Lender and holds the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Lender by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the administration of this Agreement as provided herein, reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on any request or instruction from the Borrower Agent or any other action taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to this Section except due to willful misconduct or gross negligence by the indemnified party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).

Section 9.18. 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;

- 101 -

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such 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.

ARTICLE 10

JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWERS

Section 10.01. Joint and Several Obligations. Subject, with respect to JRG Reinsurance, to Section 2.01(c), by signing this Agreement, each Borrower agrees that it is liable, jointly and severally with the other Borrowers, for the payment of the notes and all Debt and other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and that the Administrative Agent and any Lender can enforce such Debt and obligations against any Borrower, in such Agent’s or such Lender’s sole and unlimited discretion.

Section 10.02. Lenders Parties’ Rights to Administer Credit. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders, either directly or through the Administrative Agent, and each Borrower may at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, the other Borrowers, without incurring responsibility to the other Borrowers, and without affecting, impairing or releasing any of the Debt and other obligations of the other Borrowers hereunder:

(a) alter, change, modify, extend, release, renew, cancel, supplement or amend in any manner the Loan Documents, and the Borrowers’ joint and several liability shall continue to apply after giving effect to any such alteration, change, modification, extension, release, renewal, cancellation, supplement or amendment;

(b) sell, exchange, surrender, realize upon, release (with or without consideration) or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property of any Person mortgaged to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or otherwise securing the Borrowers’ joint and several liability, or otherwise providing recourse to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against a Borrower or others with respect to the Borrowers’ joint and several liability, or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) settle or compromise any Borrower’s joint and several liability, any security therefor or other recourse with respect thereto, or subordinate the payment or performance of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to any creditor of any Borrower, including without limitation, the Administrative Agent, any Lender and any Borrower;

- 102 -

(e) apply any sums received by the Administrative Agent or by any Lender from any source in respect of any liabilities of any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any of such liabilities, regardless of whether the promissory notes remain unpaid;

(f) fail to set off or release, in whole or in part, any balance of any account or any credit on its books in favor of any Borrower, or of any other Person, and extend credit in any manner whatsoever to any Borrower, and generally deal with any Borrower and any security for the Borrowers’ joint and several liability or any recourse with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent or any Lender may see fit; and

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement providing Collateral for the payment of the Borrowers’ joint and several liability or any other indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Lenders.

Section 10.03. Primary Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Borrowers’ joint and several liability or of any security therefor or other recourse with respect thereto shall affect, impair or be a defense to the other Borrowers’ joint and several liability, and all Debt and other obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents are primary Debt and obligations of each Borrower.

Section 10.04. Payments Recovered From Lender. If any payment received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and applied to the Debt and other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is subsequently set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of a Borrower or any other obligor), the Debt and other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which such payment was applied shall be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for such Debt and other obligations as fully as if such application had never been made, but subject, with respect to JRG Reinsurance, to Section 2.01(c). References in this Agreement to amounts “paid” or to “paid in full” (or terms of like import) refer to payments that cannot be set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason.

Section 10.05. No Release. Until the promissory notes and all other Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents have been paid in full and each and every one of the covenants and agreements of this Agreement are fully performed, the Debt and other obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing (other than irrevocable payment in full) which might, but for this provision of this Agreement, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, or by reason of any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance or delay or other act or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or its failure to proceed promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender whether or not such action or failure to act varies or increases the risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of, any Borrower, nor shall any modification of any of the promissory notes or other Loan Documents or release of any security therefor by operation of Law or by the action of any third party affect in any way the Debt and other obligations of any Borrower hereunder, and each Borrower hereby expressly waives and

- 103 -

surrenders any defense to its liability hereunder based upon any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, agreements or waivers of any of them. No Borrower shall be exonerated with respect to its liabilities under this Agreement by any act or thing except irrevocable payment and performance of the Debt and other obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of this Agreement that such Debt and other obligations constitute the direct and primary Debt and obligations of each Borrower and that the covenants, agreements and all Debt and other obligations of each Borrower hereunder be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable.

Section 10.06. Actions Not Required. Each Borrower hereby waives any and all right to cause a marshalling of the other Borrowers’ assets or any other action by any court or other governmental body with respect thereto insofar as the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are concerned or to cause the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to proceed against any security for the Borrowers’ joint and several liability or any other recourse which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have with respect thereto, and further waives any and all requirements that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders institute any action or proceeding at Law or in equity against the other Borrowers or any other Person, or with respect to this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any Collateral for the Borrowers’ joint and several liability, as a condition precedent to making demand on, or bringing an action or obtaining and/or enforcing a judgment against, each Borrower. Each Borrower further waives any requirement that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders seek performance by the other Borrowers or any other Person, of any Debt or other obligation under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any Collateral for the Borrowers’ joint and several liability as a condition precedent to making a demand on, or bringing any action or obtaining and/or enforcing a judgment against, any Borrower. No Borrower shall have any right of setoff against the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any of its Debt and other obligations hereunder. Any remedy or right hereby granted which shall be found to be unenforceable as to any Person or under any circumstance, for any reason, shall in no way limit or prevent the enforcement of such remedy or right as to any other Person or circumstance, nor shall such unenforceability limit or prevent enforcement of any other remedy or right hereby granted.

Section 10.07. Deficiencies. Each Borrower specifically agrees that in the event of a foreclosure or other exercise of remedies under a Security Document held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that secures any part or all of the Borrowers’ joint and several liability, and in the event of a deficiency resulting therefrom, each Borrower shall be, and hereby is expressly made, liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount of such deficiency notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or provision of such agreement, any document or documents evidencing the indebtedness secured by such agreement or any other document or any provision of applicable Law which might otherwise prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from enforcing and/or collecting such deficiency. Each Borrower hereby waives any right to notice of a foreclosure under any Security Document, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, by the other Borrowers which secures any part or all of the Borrowers’ joint and several liability.

Section 10.08. Borrower Bankruptcy. Each Borrower expressly agrees that its liability and Debt under the promissory notes, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not in any way be affected by the institution by or against the other Borrowers or any other Person or entity of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or

- 104 -

any other similar proceedings for relief under any Debtor Relief Law, or any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection therewith, and that any discharge of any Borrower’s joint and several liability pursuant to any such Debtor Relief Law shall not discharge or otherwise affect in any way the Debt and other obligations of the other Borrowers under the promissory notes, this Agreement and any other Loan Document, and that upon or at any time after the institution of any of the above actions, at the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ sole discretion, the Borrowers’ joint and several Debt and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be enforceable against any Borrower that is not itself the subject of such proceedings. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to argue that the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ enforcement of any remedies against that Borrower is stayed by reason of the pendency of any such proceedings against the other Borrowers.

Section 10.09. Limited Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Borrower hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of any Borrower by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, until 731 days after the Debt and other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, such Borrower shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the other Borrowers or any Guarantor or any Collateral or Guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Debt and other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, nor shall such Borrower seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the other Borrowers or any Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Borrower hereunder. If any amount shall be paid to a Borrower on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Debt and other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall not have been irrevocably paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Borrower in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Borrower and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Borrower, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Borrower (duly indorsed by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Debt and other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents s, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may determine.

Section 10.10. Borrowers’ Financial Condition. Each Borrower is familiar with the financial condition of the other Borrowers, and each Borrower has executed and delivered this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on that Borrower’s own judgment and not in reliance upon any statement or representation of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall have any obligation to provide any Borrower with any advice whatsoever or to inform any Borrower at any time of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ actions, evaluations or conclusions on the financial condition or any other matter concerning any Borrower.

Section 10.11. Relationship of Borrowers. Each Borrower represents that such Borrower and its business operations receive mutual support and other benefits from the other Borrowers, and it expects to derive benefits from the extension of credit accommodations to each other Borrower by the Lenders and finds it advantageous, desirable and in its best interests to execute and deliver this Agreement and the promissory notes to the Lenders.

- 105 -

Section 10.12. Limitation. (a) If the Debt and other obligations of a Borrower hereunder would be held or determined by a court or tribunal having competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of its aggregate liability under this Agreement, the promissory notes or the other Loan Documents, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the promissory notes or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the aggregate amount of the liability of such Loan Party under this Agreement, the promissory notes and the other Loan Documents shall, without any further action by such Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to an amount which is valid and enforceable.

(b) Without limiting the generality of paragraph (a), above, each Borrower and the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that none of this Agreement, the promissory notes or any other Loan Document constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under the federal Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyances Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or similar state statute applicable to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Therefore, such parties agree that the Debt and other obligations of a Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be limited to such maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Borrower that are relevant under such Laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of the other Borrowers and any other obligor, result in such Debt and obligations not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
