Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within thirty (30) days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b) If such Lender requests additional or increased costs or amounts under Section 2.11(a), then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11(a), as applicable, and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. If, after such reasonable efforts, such Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices or assign its rights to another of its offices or branches so as to eliminate Borrower’s obligations to pay any future amounts to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a), as applicable, then Borrower (without prejudice to any amounts then due to such Lender under Section 2.11(a), as applicable) may, unless prior to the effective date of any such assignment such Lender withdraws its request for such additional amounts under Section 2.11(a), as applicable, seek a substitute Lender reasonably acceptable to Agents (the consent of Agents not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to purchase the Obligations owed to such Lender (a “Replacement Lender”), and if such Replacement Lender agrees to such purchase, such Lender shall assign to the Replacement Lender its Obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and upon such purchase by the Replacement Lender, such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and such Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the protections of this Section 2.11 shall be available to a Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, judicial ruling, judgment, guideline, treaty or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, so long as it shall be customary for lenders affected thereby to comply therewith.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including subsections (a)-(c) of this Section 2.11, a Lender shall not be entitled to make a claim for compensation under this Section 2.11 unless such Lender shall be subject to the capital or reserve requirements or capital adequacy and liquidity laws, rules, guidelines, requests, or directives contemplated herein.

2.12 [Reserved].

2.13 Adjustments for Failure to Fund. In the event that a Lender fails to fund any Additional Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.1 despite the satisfaction of all conditions precedent and all other applicable requirements hereunder, and such failure continues for more than [***] days, Agent Fee, the Original Issue Discount and the Unused Line Fee shall be re-calculated based on the Total Loan Amount less the amount of any Additional Term Loans subject to such failure to fund, and such Lender that failed to fund shall refund to Borrower, if applicable, any excess amounts previously received based on such re-calculation.

The Lender Observer may participate in discussions of matters brought to the Board of Directors of Parent and, upon reasonable notice and at a scheduled meeting of such Board of Directors or such other time, if any, may address such Board of Directors with respect to the Lender Observer’s concerns regarding significant business issues facing Borrower. Borrower shall reimburse the Lender Observer for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender Observer in connection with attendance at each meeting of such Board of Directors and any committee meetings related thereto and any such reimbursement shall be paid to the Lender Observer no later than comparable reimbursement is paid to the members of such Board of Directors.

The management fee and/or advisory fee payable under any such management agreement shall be reasonably consistent with that which would exist in an arms-length agreement between unrelated parties. Similarly, the expenses and other amounts allocated to Borrower or their Affiliates (that is not otherwise a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Borrower) for shared services under any such management agreement shall also be reasonably consistent with that which would exist in an arms’ length agreement between unrelated parties. Borrower shall not, and shall not allow any Affiliate (that is not otherwise a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Borrower) to, enter into any new management agreement or similar agreement for shared services following the Closing Date without Agents’ prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

9.            THE LENDER GROUP’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

9.1           Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document or by Applicable Law, Agents may, and, at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall, do any one or more of the following:

(a)           declare all or any portion of the principal of, and any and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees in respect of, the Loan and all other Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any of the other Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable and Borrower shall be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower;

(b)           declare the Commitments terminated, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately be terminated;

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

(d)           exercise all other rights and remedies available to Agents or the Lenders under the Loan Documents, under Applicable Law, or in equity.

The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(e), in addition to the remedies set forth above, without any notice to Borrower or any other Person or any act by the Lender Group, the Commitment shall automatically terminate and the Obligations, inclusive of the principal of, and any and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations, whether evidences by this Agreement or by any of the other Loan Documents, shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable and Borrower shall automatically be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice or other requirement of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

- 69 -

Agents shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 9.1 unless so directed in writing by the Required Lenders and in Agents’ good faith determination, taking such enforcement action is permitted under the terms of the Loan Documents and Applicable Law, and taking such enforcement action will not result in any liability of Agents to any Loan Party or any other Person for which Agents have not been indemnified for under the Loan Documents.

9.2           Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

9.3           Sale of Licenses. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) and written notice thereof to Borrower, without limiting any other right or remedy of Agents or Lenders hereunder or under any Loan Document, the Lender may require the following pursuant to its written election delivered to Borrower following: (i) Borrower’s failure to cure such Event of Default within five (5) days of receipt of such notice (for the first two occurrences of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a)) and (ii) thereafter, expiration of the grace period set forth in Section 8.1(a) (the “Sale Notice”):

(a)           Milestones. By no later than thirty (30) days following the date of the Sale Notice, Borrower shall commence a full process to sell one or more Cannabis Licenses, as determined in Borrower’s reasonable discretion (subject to clause (v) below), and related properties (including, without limitation, the Collateral Properties) and operations held by the Loan Parties (the “Sale Assets”). As part of such sale process:

(i)            By no later than sixty (60) days following the date of the Sale Notice, Borrower shall provide Agents with proposals from no less than three (3) investment banks or brokers for running the sale process, which investment banks or brokers shall be subject to Agents’ approval in its reasonable discretion, and such proposals shall include detailed compensation information for each investment bank or broker;

(ii)           By no later than sixty-five (65) days following the date of the Sale Notice, Borrower shall indicate to Agents the investment bank or broker that it seeks to retain, provided that the retention of such investment bank or broker shall be subject to Agents’ approval in its reasonable discretion;

(iii)          Borrower shall retain such investment bank or broker by no later than seventy (70) days following the date of the Sale Notice and provide a signed copy of the engagement letter between Borrower and the selected investment bank or broker to Agents by no later than eight-five (85) days following the date of the Sale Notice;

(iv)          Borrower shall cause the selected investment bank or broker to commence the marketing process by no later than ninety (90) days following the date of the Sale Notice, and shall cooperate with the investment bank or broker to facilitate such marketing process, including by providing (for access by potential bidders) all information reasonably requested by the investment bank or broker;

(v)           Borrower shall include in the sale process the Sale Assets expected (based on valuations by the investment bank or broker) to yield proceeds sufficient to repay all Obligations in full in cash (including any premiums, exit fees, penalties and/or default interest). If the sale of all Sale Assets held by the Loan Parties would not be expected to yield sufficient proceeds to repay all Obligations in full in cash (including any premiums, exit fees, penalties and/or default interest), the sale process will be for all Sale Assets held by the Loan Parties.

- 70 -

(vi)          Borrower shall request initial letters of interest, along with each such potential buyer’s qualifications, by no later than one hundred thirty (130) days following the date of the Sale Notice and signed letters of intent by no later than one hundred fifty (150) days following the date of the Sale Notice;

(vii)         Borrower shall have signed purchase agreement(s) for the sales of the Sale Assets by no later than one hundred sixty five (165) days following the date of the Sale Notice; and

(viii)        Borrower shall close such sales by no later than two hundred twenty five (225) days following the date of the Sale Notice.

(b)           Sale Process. Borrower shall cause the selected investment bank or broker to provide to the Lenders and Agents a detailed weekly report on the sale process including the number and identity of (i) potential bidders contacted, (ii) potential bidders negotiating non-disclosure agreements, (iii) potential bidders with signed non-disclosure agreements and (iv) potential bidders who have accessed the virtual data room, and the number of documents reviewed. Such report shall also include (x) copies of all letters of intent received and (y) copies of all definitive bids received, together with such bidders’ financial statements. The selected investment bank or broker and the Lenders and/or their advisors shall also conduct update calls every week. Borrower shall consult with the Lender and/or their advisors regarding all definitive bids received. The terms and conditions of any sale of any Sale Assets must be approved by the Required Lenders.

(c)           Attorney-In-Fact. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoint each Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Loan Party and in the name of such Loan Party or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Agents may reasonably deem necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 9.3, including if the applicable Loan Parties have not complied, to ensure such compliance by giving instructions or providing information to the investment bank, broker or other advisors so long as such instructions are commercially reasonable and given in good faith, and by executing and delivering necessary agreements and documents. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.

(d)           Specific Performance. The Loan Parties, Agents and the Lenders agree that irreparable damage would occur, and that Agents and the Lenders would not have an adequate remedy at law, in the event that any of the provisions of this Section 9.3 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or anticipated breaches of this Section 9.3 and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Section 9.3, without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which Agents and the Lenders are entitled to at law or in equity. Each Loan Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The Loan Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy.

- 71 -

9.4           Equity Cure.

(a)           In the event the Loan Parties fail to comply with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) until the expiration of the tenth (10th) day subsequent to the date the applicable financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 (the “Cure Right Deadline”), to use cash form the proceeds of any issuance of Stock of Parent or otherwise receive, as additional paid in capital or cash contributions from its equity holders, in either case, in an aggregate amount necessary to cure the relevant financial covenant (the “Cure Amount”). Upon the actual receipt by Parent of the cash proceeds thereof and upon written notice to Agents, Parent, on behalf of Borrower, shall immediately transfer such proceeds to a separate segregated account held by Administrative Agent to be used, at Borrower’s sole discretion, (i) in an amount equal to the Cure Amount to be held by Administrative Agent in a separate interest reserve (“Interest Reserve”) and used in accordance with Section 9.4(c), (ii) in an amount equal to the Cure Amount to apply such proceeds to the Loans in accordance with Section 2.3(h), or (iii) in an amount equal to two times the Cure Amount to reinvest an amount into Borrower’s business by applying such proceeds to the cost of any replacement, purchase, or construction with respect to any portion of the Collateral within one hundred eighty (180) days after the initial receipt of such proceeds.

(b)           Upon the actual receipt by Borrower of the cash proceeds thereof, the financial covenants shall then be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments: (i) Adjusted EBITDA shall be deemed increased by the Cure Amount for the applicable fiscal quarter and, without duplication, for the subsequent three (3) consecutive fiscal quarters, solely for the purpose of measuring the financial covenants and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; (b) any prepayment made pursuant to Section 9.4(a) shall not be given effect for such purpose; and (c) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Loan Parties shall then be in compliance with the requirements of all financial covenants, the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have been in compliance with such financial covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or Event of Default of such financial covenants that had occurred shall be deemed not to have occurred for this purpose of the Agreement. In the event that (i) no Event of Default exists other than that arising due to failure of the Loan Parties to comply with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7, and (ii) Borrower shall have delivered to Agent written notice of its intention to exercise the Cure Right (which notice shall be delivered no earlier than fifteen (15) days prior to, and no later than the fifth (5th) day subsequent to, the date the applicable financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1), which exercise if fully consummated would be sufficient in accordance with the terms hereof to cause the Loan Parties to be in compliance with the financial covenants as of the relevant date of determination, then from and following receipt by Agents of any such notice and until the date that is the earlier of (x) the Cure Right Deadline and (y) the date, if any, on which any Loan Party notifies Agents in writing that such Cure Right shall not be exercised, then Agents shall not exercise any remedies set forth in Section 9.1 hereof during such period; provided that so long as any Event of Default shall be in existence due to failure of the Loan Parties to comply with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7, all rights and remedies available to such parties other than those set forth in Section 9.1 shall be available to such parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower be permitted to exercise the Cure Right hereunder (A) more than two (2) times in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement, (B) in two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters or (C) if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising due to a breach of the financial covenants set forth in Section 7) shall have occurred and be continuing.

(c)           If Borrower uses the proceeds received under Section 9.4(a) to fund the Interest Reserve, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Interest Reserve shall be disbursed for the payment of interest on the Loan as such interest becomes due and payable in accordance with this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Lender shall have no obligation to make any further disbursements from the Interest Reserve and Borrower shall not be entitled to any such disbursements, unless and until such Default is waived by Agents. If the interest payable on the Loans exceeds at any time the Interest Reserve, Borrower shall promptly pay to Agents such amount in excess thereof. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Agents may apply any undisbursed portion of the Interest Reserve against any of the Obligations of Borrower in any manner in Agents’ sole discretion.

- 72 -

10.          TAXES AND EXPENSES.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent that any Loan Party fails to pay any monies (whether Taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) due to third Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as required under the terms of this Agreement, then, Agents, in their sole discretion and without prior notice to any Loan Party, may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof, or (b) in the case of the failure to comply with Section 5.7 hereof, obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type described in Section 5.7 and take any reasonable action with respect to such policies as Agents deems prudent. Any such amounts paid by Agents shall constitute Lender Group Expenses and any such payments shall not constitute an agreement by the Lender Group to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Agents need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, Tax, or Lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.

11.          WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

11.1         Demand; Protest; etc. Parent and each Loan Party waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default, acceleration or intent to accelerate, dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by the Lender Group on which Parent or any Loan Party may in any way be liable.

11.2         The Lender Group’s Liability for Collateral. Parent and each Loan Party hereby agrees that: (a) so long as Agents comply with its obligations, if any, under the Code, the Lender Group shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Loan Parties.

11.3         Indemnification. Each Loan Party shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related Persons, and each Participant (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, brokers or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution and delivery incurred in advising, structuring, drafting, reviewing, administering, amending, waiving or otherwise modifying the Loan Documents, to the extent covered by the indemnification rights and obligations under this Section 11.3), enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Parent’s and the Loan Parties’ and its Subsidiaries’ compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto, and (c) in connection with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by any Loan Party or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities and costs or Remedial Actions related in any way to any such assets or properties of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries’ (each and all of the foregoing, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, no Loan Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that (x) a court of competent jurisdiction determines pursuant to a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or (y) results from a claim brought by Borrower against an Indemnified Person for breach of such Indemnified Person’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which any Loan Party was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Loan Parties with respect thereto.

14.          ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.

14.1         Assignments and Participations.

(a)           Assignments. Any Lender may, with the consent of Agents and Borrower (provided that, the consent of Borrower (A) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided, further, that if such consent is not granted, it shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if the proposed assignment is to a Person who is a direct competitor, or a lender to or an affiliate of a direct competitor, of any Loan Party) and (B) shall not be required if an Event of Default exists or such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee), at any time assign to one or more Persons (other than natural persons) (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of such Lender’s Loan; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such assignment shall not be permitted if such assignment, when taken together with all previous assignments pursuant to this Section 14.1(a) and all sales of participating interests in the Term Loans pursuant to Section 14.1(b), would result in Agents, as Lenders (when aggregated with any of its direct or indirect Affiliate’s interests in the Term Loans) not constituting the Required Lenders hereunder. Except as Agents may otherwise agree, any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to [***] or, if less, the remaining Commitments and Loan held by the assigning Lender. The Loan Parties and Agents shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Agents shall have received and accepted an Assignment and Acceptance.

(i)            From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, and subject to acceptance and recording of the assignment pursuant to Section 14.1(a)(iii), (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment and Acceptance, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agents for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) a Note or Notes setting forth such Lender’s Loan (and, as applicable, a Note or Notes in the principal amount of the Loans retained by the assigning Lender). Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Upon receipt by Agents of such Note(s), the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower any prior Note held by it.

- 76 -

(ii)           Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that, no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(iii)          Agents, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) 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 Borrower, Agents 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 Borrower and the Lenders, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b)           Any Lender may, at any time sell to one or more Persons (other than natural persons) participating interests in its Term Loans or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such sale shall not be permitted if such sale, when taken together with all previous sales pursuant to this Section 14.1(b) and all assignments of Term pursuant to Section 14.1(a), would result in Agents, as Lenders (when aggregated with any of its direct or indirect Affiliate’s interests in the Term Loans) not constituting the Required Lenders hereunder. In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) Borrower and Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (c) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 15.1 expressly requiring the vote of such Lender. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. Each Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each such Participant, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of and accrued interest on the Loans owing to, such Participant (the “Participant Register”); provided that, such Lender shall not 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 Loan, Commitments or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that disclosure is required to establish that such a participation in a Loan or other obligation is held by a Participant who is a non-resident alien individual (within the meaning of Code Section 871) or a foreign corporation (within the meaning of Code Section 881) is in registered form (as described above). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Lenders shall have the right to 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.

14.2         Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided that, no Loan Party may assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Required Lender’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by any Lender shall release any Loan Party from its Obligations.

15.2         No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by any Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by any Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by any Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish each Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Parent or the Loan Parties of any provision of this Agreement. Each Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that any Agent or any Lender may have.

16.          AGENTS; THE LENDER GROUP.

16.1         Appointment and Authorization of Agents.

Each Lender hereby designates and appoints AFC Agent LLC, and VRT AGENT LLC, as its agents under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agents to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf, and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agents by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agents agree to act as agent for and on behalf of each Lender on the conditions contained in this Section 16. The provisions of this Section 16 are solely for the benefit of Agents, and the Lenders, and neither Parent nor any Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to Agents 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 merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender hereby further authorizes Agents to act as the secured party under each of the Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agents shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agents expressly are entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

None of Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final and nonappealable judgment), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Parent or any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder (other than such filings and other actions as are necessary to perfect and maintain rights in the Collateral). No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

16.4         Reliance by Agents. Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any of the Loan Parties or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agents. Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agents shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 15.1(a), all Lenders).

Agents shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agents for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which Agents have actual knowledge, unless Agents shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agents promptly will notify such Lender of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agents have actual knowledge. If a Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify Agents of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 16.4, Agents shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9.1.

16.6         Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agents hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Loan Party or its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to such Lender. Each Lender represents to Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such due diligence documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Loan Party or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Loan Party or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agents, Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide the Lenders with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges that Agents do not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is expressly specified herein) to provide such Lender with any credit or other information with respect to any Loan Party, its Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into any Agent’s or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement.

16.7         Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agents may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agents reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Loan Parties are obligated to reimburse Agents or the Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agents are authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by Agents to reimburse Agents for such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to the Lenders. In the event Agents are not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by any Loan Party, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay for its Pro Rata Share of such costs and expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of Loan Parties to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that, no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final and nonappealable judgment. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agents upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of Agents’ costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agents in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, to the extent that Agents is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Loan Parties.

The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, AFC Agent LLC, VRT Agent LLC or their Affiliates may receive information regarding the any Loan Party or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Document that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Loan Parties or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and each Lender acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agents will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agents shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

16.9         Successor Agent. Any Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days (ten (10) days if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) prior written notice to the other Agent, each Lender (unless such notice is waived by such Lender) and Borrower (unless such notice is waived by Borrower). If any Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be entitled to appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of such Agent, the Required Lenders shall act as such Agent until they appoint a successor Agent. If any Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of Applicable Law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace such Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders; provided that, solely for purposes of this fourth sentence of Section 16.9. In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as such Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

(a)           Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan 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 such Loan Party 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 Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(c)           Indemnification by Borrower. Each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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 such Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to Agents), or by Agents on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)           Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agents, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Loan Party has not already indemnified Agents for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.1(b) 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 Agents in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Lender by Agents shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agents to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agents to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agents under this paragraph (d).

(e)           Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall deliver to Agents 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 Agents.

(f)            Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agents, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agents, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agents as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, such Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agents, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agents as will enable Borrower or Agents 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 (f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section) shall not be required if in such 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.

b.           executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

c.            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (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 IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

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

(D)          if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agents at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied in all material respects with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, 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.

Each Lender 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 Borrower and Agents in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)           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 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 paragraph (g) (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 paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph 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.

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

(a)           The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agents to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by the Loan Parties of all of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations in respect of which no claim has been made), (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if the Loan Parties certify to Agents and each Lender that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 16.4 (and Agents may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which the Loan Parties did not own any interest at the time Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, (iv) constituting property leased or licensed to any Loan Party under a lease or license that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (v) in connection with a credit bid or purchase authorized under this Section 16.12. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agents, upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (a) consent to the sale of, credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, or (c) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agents and the Required Lenders in accordance with Applicable Law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, (i) the Obligations owed to the Lenders shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not impair or unduly delay the ability of Agents to credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such contingent or unliquidated claims cannot be estimated without impairing or unduly delaying the ability of Agents to credit bid at such sale or other disposition, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase) and the Lenders whose obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase (or in the Stock of the any entities that are used to consummate such credit bid or purchase), and (ii) Agents, upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by such any entities used to consummate such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agents may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration. Except as provided above, Agents will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agents or the Loan Parties at any time, each Lender will confirm in writing each Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 16.12; provided that (1) anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents notwithstanding, Agents shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in each Agent’s opinion, could expose Agents to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) any and all interests retained by any Loan Party, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

- 86 -

(b)          Agents shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender (i) to verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (iv) to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agents pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agents may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given each Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as a Lender and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

16.13       Erroneous Payment.

(a)           If Agents (x) notify the Lenders, any member of the Lender Group or any Person who has received funds on behalf of the Lenders or the Lender Group (any such Lender, member of the Lender Group or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that Agents have determined in their sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from Agents) received by such Payment Recipient from Agents or any of their Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, member of the Lender Group or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Agents pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 16.13 and held in trust for the benefit of Agents, and the Lenders or member of the Lender Group shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as Agents may, in their sole discretion, specify in writing), return to Agents the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received). A notice of Agents to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)          Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), the Lenders, any member of the Lender Group or any Person who has received funds on behalf of the Lenders or any member of the Lender Group (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from Agents (or any of their Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agents (or any of their Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agents (or any of their Affiliates), or (z) that the Lenders, any member of the Lender Group or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i)            it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

- 87 -

(ii)           the Lenders and any member of the Lender Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify Agents of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying Agents pursuant to this Section 16.13(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to Agents pursuant to this Section 16.13(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 16.13(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c)           The Lenders and any member of the Lender Group hereby authorizes Agents to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to the Lenders or member of the Lender Group under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Agents to the Lenders or member of the Lender Group under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that Agents have demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d)          (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from a Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon Agents’ notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments ) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Agents may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by Agents in such instance)), and is hereby (together with Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference as to which Agents and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to Borrower or Agents (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) Agents as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, Agents as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) Agents and Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) Agents will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of such Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(i)            Subject to Section 14.1 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from Borrower or otherwise)), Agents may, in their discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and Agents shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by a Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by Agents on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by Agents) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of Agents, be reduced by any amount specified by Agents in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

- 88 -

(e)           The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether Agents may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, Agents shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of the Lenders or any member of the Lender Group, to the rights and interests of the Lenders or such member of the Lender Group, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to Agents under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 16.13 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by Agents; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Agents from Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)            To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Agents for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g)           Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 16.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agents, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, the Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

16.14       Agency for Perfection. Agents hereby appoint each Lender as its agent (and such Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agents thereof, and, promptly upon Agents’ request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agents or in accordance with Agents’ instructions.

16.15       Payments by Agents to the Lenders. All payments to be made by Agents to any Lender shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agents. Concurrently with each such payment, Agents shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations.

- 89 -

16.16       Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agents to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agents of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

16.17       Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agents in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of the Lenders to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective portion of the Commitment, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount at such time of their respective portion of the Commitment. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 16.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to Parent, any Loan Party or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its behalf, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

16.18       Non-Consenting Agent. In the event that Borrower proposes to amend, modify, supplement or waive any term of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action that requires the consent of both Agents and one Agent does not consent to such action (such non-consenting Agent, the “Non-Consenting Agent”), the other Agent may purchase all of such Non-Consenting Agent’s Loans at par plus accrued and unpaid interest and upon such other terms which are customary for such a transaction and shall be mutually agreed upon by both Agents.

17.          GENERAL PROVISIONS.

17.1         Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Parent, the Loan Parties, Agents, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof.

17.2         Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

17.3         Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender Group or any Loan Party, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by electronic mail or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by electronic mail or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

17.6         Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations; Certain Waivers. If any member of the Lender Group repays, refunds, restores, or returns in whole or in part, any payment or property (including any proceeds of Collateral) previously paid or transferred to such member of the Lender Group in full or partial satisfaction of any Obligation or on account of any other obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document, because the payment, transfer, or the incurrence of the obligation so satisfied is asserted or declared to be void, voidable, or otherwise recoverable under any law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent transfers, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable obligations or transfers (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), or because such member of the Lender Group elects to do so on the reasonable advice of its counsel in connection with a claim that the payment, transfer, or incurrence is or may be a Voidable Transfer, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that such member of the Lender Group elects to repay, restore, or return (including pursuant to a settlement of any claim in respect thereof), and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees of such member of the Lender Group related thereto, (i) the liability of the Loan Parties with respect to the amount or property paid, refunded, restored, or returned will automatically and immediately be revived, reinstated, and restored and will exist and (ii) Agent’s Liens securing such liability shall be effective, revived, and remain in full force and effect, in each case, as fully as if such Voidable Transfer had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (A) Agent’s Liens shall have been released or terminated or (B) any provision of this Agreement shall have been terminated or cancelled, Agent’s Liens, or such provision of this Agreement, shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligation of any Loan Party in respect of such liability or any Collateral securing such liability.

17.7         Confidentiality.

(a)           Each Agent and each Lender each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding the Loan Parties, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by Agents and such Lender in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agents or such Lender to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of the Lender Group and to employees, directors and officers of any member of the Lender Group (the “Lender Group Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and on a confidential basis, (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group and provided that, any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.7, (iii) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (iv) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule or regulation, (v) as may be agreed to in advance in writing by any Loan Party, (vi) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, (vii) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Agents or any Lender or the Lender Group Representative), (viii) in connection with any assignment, participation or pledge of a Lender’s interest under this Agreement; provided that, such party is subject to confidentiality obligations no less protective of Borrower as those contained herein in connection therewith, (ix) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (x) in connection with the exercise of any secured creditor remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

(b)          Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agents may disclose information concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan syndication and pricing reporting services or in its marketing or promotional materials, with such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications or marketing or promotional materials and may otherwise use the name, logos, and other insignia of Borrower or the other Loan Parties and the Loans provided hereunder in any “tombstone” or other advertisements, on its website or in other marketing materials of Agents.

17.8         Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders and Agents, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to Parent or any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and Parent or the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

17.9         Public Disclosure. Each party hereto agrees that it will not disclose any non-public information regarding any other party hereto or issue any press release or other public disclosure using the name of any other party hereto or any of their respective Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any of the terms or provisions hereof or thereof without the prior written consent of Agents and Borrower, except (i) to the extent that a party hereto is required to do so under Applicable Law (in which event, such party will consult with Agents or Borrower, as applicable before issuing such press release or other public disclosure to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), (ii) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of such party and to employees, directors and officers of any member of such party on a “need to know” basis in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and on a confidential basis, (iii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any party hereto and provided that, any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.9, (iv) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (v) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule or regulation, (vi) as may be agreed to in advance in writing by Agents and Borrower, (vii) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, (viii) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of any disclosure prohibited by this section) and (ix) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 17.9 or any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall not prohibit any member of the Lender Group from using any information disclosed to the Lender Group under Section 5.1 or otherwise under this Agreement in any reporting requirements under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any Governmental Authority succeeding to any or all of the functions of the Securities and Exchange Commission or with any national securities exchange, or distributed to its shareholders, as the case may be.

- 92 -

17.10       Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loan, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Agents or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of, or any accrued interest on, any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding or unpaid (other than contingent obligations in respect of which no claim has been made) and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated.

17.11       PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.
