Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall (i) the aggregate amount of Outstanding Credits exceed the Total Commitment and (ii) any Lender’s Outstanding Credits exceed the amount of such Xxxxxx’s Commitment.

(a) Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Credit Loans made or Converted by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Revolving Credit Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 (or an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the Available Commitments).

Each Lender may at its option make any Term Benchmark Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Revolving Credit Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Revolving Credit Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent in New York, New York, not later than noon, New York City time, and the Agent shall by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, credit the amounts so received to the account or accounts specified from time to time in one or more notices delivered by the Borrower to the Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met or otherwise waived, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Revolving Credit Loans shall be made by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 2.12. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Xxxxxx’s portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this subsection (c) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower (without waiving any claim against such Lender for such Lender’s failure to make such portion available) severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing and Conversion Procedures.

(a) Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Conversion), the Borrower shall hand deliver or send via facsimile or electronic mail to the Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request (i) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before such Borrowing, (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the same Business Day of such Borrowing or (iii) if applicable pursuant to Section 2.07, in the case of a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, five U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of such Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (A) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (B) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount thereof, and (C) if such Borrowing is to be a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto, which shall not end after any Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Voluntary Conversion Procedure. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon delivery of a duly completed Conversion Notice given to the Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into or resulting in Term Benchmark Loans, and not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the same Business Day of any proposed Conversion into or resulting in ABR Loans, Convert all Revolving Credit Loans of one Type made in connection with the same Borrowing into Revolving Credit Loans of another Type (or combination of Types) or Revolving Credit Loans of the same Type having the same or a new Interest Period; provided, however, that any Conversion of, or with respect to, any Term Benchmark Loans shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Term Benchmark Loans, unless the Borrower shall also reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.05(b) on the date of such Conversion. Each such Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable and shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Revolving Credit Loans to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into, or with respect to, Term Benchmark Loans, the duration of the Interest Period for each such resulting Term Benchmark Loan.

(c) Mandatory Conversion, Etc. If in any Borrowing Request delivered under subsection (a) above or any Conversion Notice delivered under subsection (b) above, the Borrower shall fail to select the Type of any Revolving Credit Loan, or if any proposed Borrowing or Conversion of a Borrowing that is to comprise Term Benchmark Loans upon such Borrowing or Conversion shall not occur as a result of the circumstances described in subsection (d) below, then (unless, in the case of any Conversion, the applicable Borrowing is repaid at the end of the then effective Interest Period) the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, and such Loans will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be made as, or Convert into, as the case may be, a Term Benchmark Loan with an Interest Period of one month. If no Interest Period with respect to any Term Benchmark Borrowing is specified in any such Borrowing Request or Conversion Notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration (subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of “Interest Period”).

-35-

(d) General Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower may not elect an Interest Period in excess of one month for any Term Benchmark Borrowing at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be requested or Converted if the Interest Period with respect thereto would end after any Commitment Termination Date. The Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”), at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage from time to time in effect on the daily average Available Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing on the date of this Agreement or ending on the Commitment Termination Date of such Lender or any other date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated).

(b) The Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days and shall be payable in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (with the first payment being due on March 31, 2024) and on each date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated or reduced as provided herein. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the date of this Agreement, and shall cease to accrue on the date of termination of such Xxxxxx’s Commitment, as provided herein.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent fees from time to time payable to the Agent in its capacity as Agent pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4(c) of the Engagement Letter (collectively, the “Administrative Fees”).

(d) The fees payable under the SBOI Fee Letter, CoBank Fee Letter and Section 4(a) of the Engagement Letter shall be paid on the Closing Date, in immediately available funds, to the parties entitled to such payment under the foregoing Fee Letters. The Upfront Fees (as defined in the Engagement Letter) shall be paid on the Closing Date, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for pro rata distribution to the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.05. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The outstanding principal balance of each Revolving Credit Loan made by any Lender shall be due and payable on the Commitment Termination Date of such Lender.

-36-

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

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) above shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Outstanding Credits in accordance with their terms.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto or such other form approved by the Agent and the Borrower.

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans.

(a) The Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect for Term Benchmark Borrowings.

(b) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of (i) 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for periods during which the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and (ii) 360 days for other periods) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect for ABR Borrowings.

(c) The Loans comprising each Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.07, shall bear interest at the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, Alternate Base Rate, or Daily Simple SOFR for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by Xxxxx Fargo, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that Xxxxx Fargo shall, upon request, promptly provide to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination.

-37-

SECTION 2.07. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.07, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing:(i) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, or the Term SOFR Rate, as applicable (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or

(ii)

the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, or the Term SOFR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Conversion Notice that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be ineffective and shall instead be deemed to be a Borrowing Request, for (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is not the subject of Sections 2.07(a)(i) or 2.07(a)(ii) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is also the subject of Sections 2.07(a)(i) or 2.07(a)(ii) above and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Agent referred to in this Section 2.07(a) with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, then until (x) the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is not also the subject of Sections 2.07(a)(i) or 2.07(a)(ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is also the subject of Sections 2.07(a)(i) or 2.07(a)(ii) above.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document

-38-

and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, the Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders in writing of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.07, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.07.

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

-39-

(g) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of written notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (i) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (ii) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.07, any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Commitment of each Lender shall terminate automatically on the Commitment Termination Date of such Lender.

(b) Upon at least two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, the Borrower may, without premium or penalty, at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and (ii) no such termination or reduction shall be made that would reduce the Commitments to an amount less than (1) the aggregate amount of Outstanding Credits on the date of such termination or reduction (after giving effect to any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.09) or (2) $50,000,000, unless the result of such termination or reduction referred to in this clause (2) is to reduce the Commitments to $0. The Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this subsection (b) and of each Lender’s portion of any such termination or reduction of the Commitments. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that, without limiting Section 8.05(b), a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

-40-

(c) Each reduction in the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Commitments, the Commitment Fee on the amount of the Available Commitments so terminated or reduced, in each case accrued through the date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 2.09. Prepayment.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon giving a Prepayment Notice via facsimile or e-mail (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by facsimile or e-mail) to the Agent: (i) before 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, (ii) before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans, and (iii) before 12:00 p.m., New York City time, five U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. Prepayments will be applied first to ABR Borrowings, then to Daily Simple SOFR Borrowings, and then to Term Benchmark Borrowings in direct order of Interest Period maturities. Each Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08(b), then such Prepayment Notice may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08(b).

(b) On any date on which the Total Commitment shall be reduced pursuant to Section 2.08(b) above, the Borrower shall, with respect to outstanding Loans, prepay such Loans to the extent and for the duration necessary to cause the Outstanding Credits to be no greater than the Total Commitment (after giving effect to any such reduction pursuant to Section 2.08(b)).

SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate); or

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

-41-

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

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

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

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Survival. All of the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Section 2.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

SECTION 2.11. Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Term Benchmark Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Agent, such Lender may:

(i) declare that Term Benchmark Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (any Lender delivering such a declaration hereby agreeing to withdraw such declaration promptly upon determining that such event of illegality no longer exists); and

-42-

(ii) require that all outstanding Term Benchmark Loans made by it be Converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Term Benchmark Loans shall be automatically Converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in subsection (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clauses (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Term Benchmark Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the Converted Term Benchmark Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the Conversion of, such Term Benchmark Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section, a notice by any Lender shall be effective as to each Term Benchmark Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt.

SECTION 2.12. Pro Rata Treatment.

Except as required under Sections 2.10, 2.15, 2.20 and 2.21, each Extension of Credit, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Total Commitment and each Conversion of any Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (or, if such Lender’s Commitment shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their Outstanding Credits). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Xxxxxx’s portion of any Extension of Credit to be made hereunder, the Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s Percentage of such Extension of Credit to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Revolving Credit Loans shall be reduced so as to be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Revolving Credit Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed

-43-

simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Revolving Credit Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and participations in the Revolving Credit Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Revolving Credit Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Revolving Credit Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Xxxxxx had made an Extension of Credit in the amount of such participation. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.

(b) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to subsection (f) of Article VII, then the Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Agent, to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such provision of this Agreement until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such provision, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.14. Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Outstanding Credit or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder from an account in the United States not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in dollars to the Agent at its offices at 0000 Xxxx X.X. Xxxxxx Blvd., 1B1, MAC D110-019, Charlotte, NC 28262, or such other address or account as the Agent may from time to time notify to the Borrower and the Lenders in writing, in immediately available funds. Each such payment shall be made without off-set, deduction or counterclaim; provided that the foregoing shall not constitute a relinquishment or waiver of the Borrower’s rights to any independent claim that the Borrower may have against the Agent or any Lender.

-44-

(b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Outstanding Credit or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

(c) If the Borrower shall default (after giving effect to any applicable grace period under paragraph (c) of Article VI) in the payment of any amount becoming due hereunder (other than the principal amount of any Loan), whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time from the Agent pay interest, to the fullest extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to ABR Loans plus 2.00%.

SECTION 2.15. Taxes.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Credit Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by such Credit Party (with a copy to the Agent, unless the Agent is such Credit Party), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Credit Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify a Credit Party for any accrued Indemnified Taxes under this Section 2.15(d) unless such Credit Party notifies the Borrower of such indemnification claim no

-45-

later than 180 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the Credit Party receives from the relevant Governmental Authority written notice of the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) the date on which such Credit Party has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the Borrower’s obligation to indemnify such Credit Party for such Indemnified Taxes accrued after such earlier date if such Credit Party has given timely notice thereof to the Borrower under this Section 2.15(d); and provided further, that if the Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Credit 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 Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower shall deliver to the 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 Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

-46-

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

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

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

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

-47-

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit 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 and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Agent and any successor or supplemental Agent shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date such Person becomes an Agent under this Agreement two executed copies of (i) if such Agent is a U.S. Person, an IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax or (ii) if such Agent is not a U.S. Person, (A) with respect to amounts received on its own account, an applicable IRS Form W-8ECI and (B) with respect to amounts received on account of any Lender, an executed IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that it is either (i) a “qualified intermediary” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(e)(5) and that it assumes primary withholding responsibility under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code or (ii) a “U.S. branch” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrowers to be treated as a U.S. Person as set forth in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv), in each case for the purpose of permitting Borrower to make payments to such Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States.

-48-

Each Lender and the Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

SECTION 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, delivers a notice pursuant to Section 2.11 or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.15 or eliminate the illegality under Section 2.11, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

-49-

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, delivers a notice pursuant to Section 2.11 or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with subsection (a) above, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.15) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.04(b)(iv);

(ii) 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 Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 8.05(b)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10, illegality pursuant to Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments or, in the case of Section 2.11, eliminate the illegality thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not violate Applicable Law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

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

SECTION 2.17. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.18. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.19. Increase in Commitments.

(a) Borrower Request. Borrower may by written notice to the Agent elect to request, prior to the latest Commitment Termination Date, an increase to the then existing Total Commitments by an amount not in excess of $500,000,000 in the aggregate and not less than $100,000,000 individually (each an “Incremental Commitment Increase”). Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes

-50-

that the Incremental Commitment Increase shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Agent and (ii) the identity of each assignee to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Commitment Increase be allocated and the amounts of such allocations. Incremental Commitment Increases may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that (i) any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitment Increase may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Commitment Increase and (ii) the Borrower shall have no obligation to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any such Incremental Commitment Increase) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld, in the case of the Agent) to such Xxxxxx’s or such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Commitment Increase if such consent would be required under Section 8.04(b)(iii)(B) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender.

(b) Conditions. The Incremental Commitment Increase shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that:

(i) all of the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of materiality qualifications otherwise set forth in such representations and warranties), after giving effect to such Incremental Commitment Increase;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such Incremental Commitment Increase; and

(iii) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered no later than the proposed Increase Effective Date (A) a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the effect that as of the Increase Effective Date the statements set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above are true, (B) certified copies of the resolutions of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) of the Borrower authorizing the Incremental Commitment Increase and all documents evidencing other necessary corporate action and governmental approvals or filings with respect to such Incremental Commitment Increase, (C) a customary opinion of counsel to the Borrower as to such matters related to the foregoing as the Agent may reasonably request and (D) such other documents reasonably requested by the Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(c) Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The Incremental Commitment Increase shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Agent, each Lender, if any, and each Additional Lender, if any, making such Incremental Commitment Increase, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19.

-51-

(d) Adjustment of Loans. Each of the Lenders having a Commitment prior to such Increase Effective Date (the “Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders”) shall assign to any Lender or Additional Lender, as the case may be, which is providing a portion of the Incremental Commitment Increase on the Increase Effective Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolving Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans on such Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to such Incremental Commitment Increase.

SECTION 2.20. Extension of Commitment Termination Date.

(a) The Borrower may at any time from time to time not more than 90 days and not less than 35 days prior to any anniversary of the Commitment Termination Date, by notice to the Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) request that each Lender extend (each such date on which such extension occurs, an “Extension Date”) such Lender’s Commitment Termination Date to the date that is one year after the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Borrower may make such a request during the relevant period prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, but the Extension Date in connection with such a request shall be on or following the first anniversary of the Closing Date. For purposes of clarity, at any date of determination, the Commitment Termination Date shall be no later than three years following the applicable date of determination, whether such determination is made before or after giving effect to any extension election made by the Borrower.

(b) Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Agent given not later than 25 days prior to the anniversary of the Existing Commitment Termination Date (the “Notice Date”), advise the Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its Commitment Termination Date, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its Existing Commitment Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Agent shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date.

(c) The Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section on the earlier of (x) the date that is one Business Day after the Agent receives notice of such Xxxxxx’s determination or (y) the date that is one Business Day after the Notice Date.

-52-

(d) The Borrower shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Commitment Termination Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions that are Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section 8.04, each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.04, with the Borrower obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Commitment Termination Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Xxxxxx’s Commitment hereunder on such date).

(e) If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Commitment Termination Date and the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lenders is more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, the Commitment Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date that is one year after the Existing Commitment Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Commitment Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no more than two extensions of the Commitment Termination Date shall be permitted hereunder and (y) any extension of any Commitment Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall not be effective with respect to any Extending Lender unless as of the applicable Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto: (i) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; (ii) all the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of materiality qualifications otherwise set forth in such representations and warranties, before and after giving effect to such extension); and (iii) the Agent shall have received a certificate from the Borrower signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and (B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension.

(g) Subject to subsection (e) above, the Commitment of any Non-Extending Lender that has not been replaced pursuant to subsection (d) above shall automatically terminate on its Existing Commitment Termination Date (without regard to any extension by any other Lender).

(h) [Reserved].

(i) In connection with any extension of the Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower, the Agent and each Extending Lender may make such amendments to this Agreement as the Agent determines to be reasonably necessary to evidence the extension. This Section shall supersede Sections 2.13 and 8.08.

-53-

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(a) Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on such Defaulting Lender’s Available Commitment;

(b) the Commitment and Outstanding Credits of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether (i) the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action under this Agreement or (ii) all Lenders affected thereby have taken or may take any action under this Agreement, except to the extent Section 8.08 expressly requires the consent of such Defaulting Lender to an amendment, waiver or other modification;

(c) subject to Section 8.22, no remedy of the circumstances that caused a Lender to become a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim that the Borrower or any Credit Party may have against such Defaulting Lender; and

(d) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of 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 Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made when the conditions set forth in Article IV-B were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans owed to all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans owed to such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.21(d) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

-54-

THE AGENT

SECTION 7.01. Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Xxxxx Fargo to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Lenders and their respective Related Parties, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 7.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, capital markets or other business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or to provide notice to or consent of the Lenders with respect thereto.

SECTION 7.03. Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Related Parties shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature.

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

-71-

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

(iii) shall not, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose to any Lender or any other Person, any credit or other information relating concerning the business, prospects, operations, properties, assets, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to, obtained by or otherwise in the possession of the Person serving as the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or their respective Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents that are required to be furnished by the Agent to the Lenders pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement; and

(iv) shall not be required to account to any Lender for any sum or profit received by the Agent for its own account.

(b) The Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Related Parties shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.08 and Article VI) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default and indicating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

(c) The Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Related Parties shall not be responsible for or have any duty or obligations to any Lender or Participant or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Each Lender that has signed this Agreement or a signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Credit Document pursuant to which it is to become a Lender hereunder shall be deemed to have consented to, approved and accepted and shall be deemed satisfied with each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to, approved or accepted by such Lender or that is to be acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender.

SECTION 7.05. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.

The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

-73-

SECTION 7.06. Resignation of Agent.

(a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, and subject to the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), to appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank or financial institution reasonably experienced in serving as administrative agent on syndicated bank facilities with an office in the United States or an Affiliate of any such bank. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, and subject to the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), appoint a successor 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 Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such

-74-

retiring or removed 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 or removed Agent was acting as Agent or relating to its duties as Agent that are carried out following its retirement or removal, including, without limitation, any actions taken in connection with the transfer of agency to a replacement or successor Agent.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any of their respective Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act taken or failure to act by the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any of their respective Related Parties, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be deemed to constitute a representation or warranty of the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any of their respective Related Parties to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any of their respective Related Parties have disclosed material information in their (or their respective Related Parties’) possession.

-78-

Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.

(f) Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

Nothing in this Section 7.10 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to 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) to any Disqualified Institution.

-81-

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

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. 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 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 Borrower and the 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 (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans 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 subsection, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.15 and 8.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that subject to Section 8.22 and except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City, New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

-82-

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under subsection (f) of Article VII with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 8.08(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.15 and 8.05(b) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.16 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be

-83-

conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Disqualified Institutions. (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to, and no Incremental Commitment Increase shall be provided by, any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person or the applicable Increase Effective Date, as the case may be (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment, participation or Incremental Commitment Increase in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment, participation or Incremental Commitment Increase). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee, Participant, Lender or Additional Lender that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee, Participant, Lender or Additional Lender shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming an assignee, Participant, Lender or Additional Lender and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption or joinder agreement with respect to such assignee, Participant, Lender or Additional Lender will not by itself result in such party no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment, participation or Incremental Commitment Increase in violation of this clause (g)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (g) shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment (or, with respect to clause (B) below, participation) is made to, or any Incremental Commitment Increase is provided by, any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Agent, (A) terminate the Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

-84-

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any Debtor Relief Plan, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Debtor Relief Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Debtor Relief Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Debtor Relief Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(iv) The Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

SECTION 8.05. Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to the Agent, one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or potential conflict of interest, such additional counsel as the Agent determines in good faith is necessary in light of such actual or potential conflict of interest) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement or in connection with any amendment, modification and waiver of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated). The Borrower further agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to the Credit Parties, one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or potential conflict of interest, such additional counsel as any Credit Party determines in good faith is necessary in light of such actual or potential conflict of interest) incurred by any Credit Party in connection with the enforcement of rights under the Credit Documents and upon an Event of Default (including in respect of workouts and restructurings).

-85-

(b) In the event of (i) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to Convert any Loan hereunder (including as a result of the Borrower’s failure to fulfill any of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV) after notice of such Borrowing or Conversion has been given pursuant to Section 2.03, (ii) any payment, prepayment or Conversion (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise) of a Term Benchmark Loan, or assignment of a Term Benchmark Loan of the Borrower required by any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.16) or otherwise made or deemed made, on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, or (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith) then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. 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 (with a copy to the Agent) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent, each Lender, each of their Affiliates and the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of the foregoing (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all costs, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for all Indemnitees (unless in the good faith opinion of the Agent or such counsel it would be inappropriate under applicable standards of legal professional conduct, due to an actual or potential conflict of interest, to have only one counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (whether or not brought by the Borrower or any other third party), whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, including any of the foregoing arising from the negligence, whether sole or concurrent, on the part of any Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (B) result from any litigation not involving an act or omission of the Borrower brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (unless such litigation relates to claims against the Agent, acting in such capacity), or (C) result from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that the Borrower agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of

-86-

which indemnification could be sought under the indemnification provisions of this subsection (c) (whether or not any Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, does not involve any payment of money or other value by any Indemnitee or any injunctive relief or factual findings or stipulations binding on any Indemnitee and contains an unconditional release of each Indemnitee that could seek such indemnification under this subsection (c). It is understood that, with respect to any particular investigation, litigation or other proceeding subject to indemnification hereunder, the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse, or indemnify and hold harmless for, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) for all Indemnitees that are the subject of such investigation, litigation or other proceeding, unless representation of all such Indemnitees in such matter by a single counsel would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest, in which case the Borrower shall be required to reimburse, and indemnify and hold harmless for, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of such additional counsel as any Indemnitee determines in good faith are necessary in light of such actual or potential conflict of interest.

(d) Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under subsection (c) above, neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall have any liability for any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages resulting from this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of any Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

(e) The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Outstanding Credits, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand therefor.

(f) A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to subsection (b) above and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) The provisions of this Section shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

-87-

SECTION 8.06. Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender 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) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21 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 Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 8.07. Applicable Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 8.08. Waivers; Amendment and Releases.

(a) No failure or delay of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder 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 Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Subject to Section 2.07(b) or (c), neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on, any Loan or date for the payment of any Fee, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby (other than waivers of the default rate of interest), (ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender or decrease

-88-

any Fee payable to any Lender without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby (other than as set forth in Section 2.21(a) or the definition of “Commitment Fee Percentage”), (iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.12, Section 2.13, the provisions of this Section or the definition of the “Required Lenders,” or amend, modify or waive any condition set forth in Article IV-A, in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.21 without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders; provided further, however, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder (including, without limitation, under Section 2.21) without the prior written consent of the Agent. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section, and any consent by any Lender or the Agent pursuant to this Section shall bind any assignee of its rights and interests hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any waiver, amendment or modification hereunder, except that the consent of such Defaulting Lender shall be required for any waiver, amendment or modification that effects any change described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this subsection (b), in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) to the extent such Defaulting Lender is affected thereby.

(c) The Borrower or the Agent shall have the right to replace all, but not less than all, Non-Consenting Lenders (so long as all Non-Consenting Lenders are so replaced) with one or more Eligible Assignees so long as at the time of such replacement each such Eligible Assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination. Each Lender agrees that, if Borrower or Agent elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase; provided that the failure of any such Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

SECTION 8.09. [Reserved].

SECTION 8.11. Severability.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8.12. Counterparts.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 8.03.

SECTION 8.14. Interest Rate Limitation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges which are treated as interest under Applicable Law (collectively the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable on the Outstanding Credits of such Lender (as the case may be), together with all Charges payable to such Lender (as the case may be), shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

(b) If the amount of interest, together with all Charges, payable for the account of any Lender in respect of any interest computation period is reduced pursuant to subsection (a) above and the amount of interest, together with all Charges, payable for such Lender’s account in respect of any subsequent interest computation period, would be less than the Maximum Rate, then the amount of interest, together with all Charges, payable for such Lender’s account in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be automatically increased to such Maximum Rate; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any Lender has been increased pursuant to this subsection (b) exceed the aggregate amount by which interest, together with all Charges, paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to subsection (a) above.

Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

“Senior Obligations” shall have the meaning given to the term “Obligations” in the Credit Agreement (and shall include, without limitation, all interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided in the governing documentation, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding).

“Subordinated Obligations” shall mean obligations of any Person (such Person, the “Subordinated Lender”) that are subordinate in right of payment and enforcement to the prior payment of the Obligations arising under the Credit Documents on the terms set forth in this Schedule 5.12 or such other terms as are acceptable to Agent.

“Subordination Agreement” shall mean a written agreement incorporating the terms and conditions of this Schedule 5.12 between Borrower and each Subordinated Lender to which any Subordinated Obligations are owed.

Schedule 5.12

(b) The Borrower and the Subordinated Lender hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any agreement governing or evidencing Subordinated Obligations, no payment (whether directly, by purchase, redemption or exercise of any rights of setoff or otherwise and whether mandatory or voluntary) in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, and whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made by or on behalf of the Borrower or received, accepted or demanded, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of the Subordinated Lender at any time prior to the payment in full in cash of all the Senior Obligations.

(c) Upon any distribution of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or receivership proceedings or otherwise, or upon any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Borrower, or otherwise:

(i) the Senior Lenders shall first be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations (whenever arising) before the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations of the Borrower, whether of principal, interest or otherwise; and

(ii) any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets of; the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, to which the Subordinated Lender would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 2 shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations.

The Subordinated Xxxxxx agrees not to ask, demand, sue for or take or receive from the Borrower in cash, securities or other property or by setoff, purchase or redemption (including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral), payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations to the extent prohibited by the preceding sentence, and agrees that in connection with any proceeding involving the Borrower under any bankruptcy, insolvency reorganization, arrangement, receivership or similar law (i) the Agent is irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of the Subordinated Lender or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to in the preceding sentence and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including, without limitation, voting the Subordinated Obligations and enforcing any security interest or other lien securing payment of the Subordinated Obligation) as the Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Senior Lenders and (ii) the Subordinated Lender shall duly and promptly take such action as the Agent, if any, may request to (A) collect amounts in respect of the Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Senior Lenders and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, (B) execute and deliver to the Agent such irrevocable powers of attorney, assignments or other instruments as the Agent may request in order to enable such Agent to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests and other liens securing payment of, the Subordinated Obligations and (C) collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Obligations. A copy of this Subordination Agreement may be filed with any court as evidence of the Senior Lenders’ right, power and authority thereunder.

Schedule 5.12

(d) In the event that any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets of, the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, and whether directly, by purchase, redemption, exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise, shall be received by or on behalf of the Subordinated Lender or any Affiliate thereof at a time when such payment is prohibited by this Subordination Agreement, such payment or distribution shall be held by the Subordinated Lender in trust (segregated from other property of the Subordinated Lender) for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over to, the Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations.

(e) Subject to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations, the Subordinated Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Lenders to receive payments or distributions in cash, securities or other property of the Borrower to the Senior Obligations until all amounts owing on the Senior Obligations shall be indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and, as between and among the Borrower, its creditors (other than the Senior Lenders) and the Subordinated Lender, no such payment or distribution made to the Senior Lenders by virtue of this Subordination Agreement that otherwise would have been made to the Subordinated Lender shall be deemed to be a payment by the Borrower on account of the Subordinated Obligations, it being understood that the provisions of this paragraph (e) are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Subordinated Lender and the Senior Lenders.

(f) Without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Borrower shall not give, or permit to be given, and the Subordinated Lender shall not receive, accept or demand, (i) any security of any nature whatsoever for the Subordinated Obligations on any property or assets, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or (ii) any guarantee, of any nature whatsoever, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, of the Subordinated Obligations other than any guarantee subordinated to the Senior Obligations on terms substantially identical to (and no less favorable in any significant respect to the Senior Lender than) those hereof. The Subordinated Xxxxxx agrees that all the proceeds of any such security or guarantee shall be subject to the provisions hereof with respect to payments and other distributions in respect of the Subordinated Obligations.

(g) Any and all instruments or records now or hereafter creating or evidencing the Subordinated Obligations, whether upon refunding, extension, renewal, refinancing, replacement or otherwise, shall contain the following legend:

“Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the principal of nor the interest on, nor any other amounts payable in respect of, the indebtedness created or evidenced by this instrument or record shall become due or be paid or payable, except to the extent permitted under the Subordination Agreement, dated [ ], [ ] 20[ ], among, inter alia, [ ] and [ ], which Subordination Agreement is incorporated herein with the same effect as if fully set forth herein.”

Schedule 5.12

(h) The Subordinated Xxxxxx agrees that, except for claims submitted in any proceeding contemplated by Section 2(c) hereof, it will not take any action to cause the Subordinated Obligations to become payable prior to their scheduled maturity or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce the Subordinated Obligations if the payment of such Subordinated Obligation is then prohibited by this Subordination Agreement, and the Subordinated Xxxxxx further agrees not to file, or to join with any other creditors of the Borrower in filing, any petition commencing any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or receivership proceeding or any assignment for the benefit of creditors against or in respect of the Borrower or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Borrower (provided, that this prohibition shall in no event be construed so as to limit the Subordinated Xxxxxx’s right to cause the Subordinated Obligations to become payable prior to their scheduled maturity if all the outstanding Loans in respect of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement have been declared due and payable prior to their scheduled maturity dates).

SECTION 3. Waivers and Consents. (a) The Subordinated Lender waives the right to compel that any assets or property of the Borrower or the assets or property of any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person be applied in any particular order to discharge the Senior Obligations. The Subordinated Lender expressly waives the right to require any Senior Lender to proceed against the Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person, or to pursue any other remedy in any Senior Lender’s power which the Subordinated Lender cannot pursue and which would lighten the Subordinated Xxxxxx’s burden, notwithstanding that the failure of a Senior Lender to do so may thereby prejudice the Subordinated Lender. The Subordinated Xxxxxx agrees that it shall not be discharged, exonerated or have its obligations hereunder to a Senior Lender reduced (i) by any Senior Lender’s delay in proceeding against or enforcing any remedy against the Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person; (ii) by any Senior Lender releasing the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person from all or any part of the Senior Obligations; or (iii) by the discharge of the Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person by an operation of law or otherwise, with or without the intervention or omission of a Senior Lender, except in each case unless all Senior Obligations due to such Senior Lender have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Any Senior Lender’s vote to accept or reject any plan of reorganization relating to the Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person, or any Senior Lender’s receipt on account of all or part of the Senior Obligations of any cash, securities or other property distributed in any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency case, shall not discharge, exonerate, or reduce the obligations of the Subordinated Lender hereunder to any Senior Lender, except in each case unless all Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

Schedule 5.12

(b) The Subordinated Xxxxxx xxxxxx all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by any Senior Lender, even though that election of remedies, including, without limitation, any nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Senior Obligations, has impaired the value of the Subordinated Xxxxxx’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, or contribution against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person. The Subordinated Lender expressly waives any rights or defenses it may have by reason of protection afforded to the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person with respect to the Senior Obligations pursuant to any anti-deficiency laws or other laws of similar import which limit or discharge the principal debtor’s indebtedness upon judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of real property or personal property for the Senior Obligations.

(c) The Subordinated Lender agrees that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against it, and without notice to or further assent by it, any demand for payment of the Senior Obligations made by a Senior Lender may be rescinded in whole or in part by such Senior Lender, and any Senior Obligation may be continued, and the Senior Obligations, or the liability of the Borrower or any other guarantor or any other party upon or for any part thereof, or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released by a Senior Lender, in each case without notice to or further assent by the Subordinated Lender, which will remain bound under this Subordination Agreement and without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination and other agreements provided for herein.

(d) The Subordinated Lender waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Senior Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Senior Lenders upon this Subordination Agreement. The Senior Obligations, and any of them, shall be deemed conclusively to have been created, contracted or incurred and the consent given to create the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Obligations in reliance upon this Subordination Agreement, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Senior Lenders shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon this Subordination Agreement. The Subordinated Xxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that each Senior Xxxxxx has relied upon the subordination and other agreements provided for herein in consenting to the Subordinated Obligations. The Subordinated Lender waives notice of or proof of reliance on this Subordination Agreement and protest, demand for payment and notice of default.

SECTION 4. Transfers. The Subordinated Lender shall not sell, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of, in whole or in part, all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations or any interest therein to any other Person (a “Transferee”) or create, incur or suffer to exist any security interest, Lien, charge or other encumbrance whatsoever upon all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations or any interest therein in favor of any Transferee unless (i) such action is made expressly subject to this Subordination Agreement, (ii) the Transferee is reasonably acceptable to the Agent and (iii) the Transferee expressly acknowledges to the Agent, by a writing in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, the subordination and other agreements provided for herein and in such writing agrees to be bound by all of the terms of this Subordination Agreement, including without limitation this Section 4, as if such Person were the Subordinated Lender.

Schedule 5.12
