RECITALS
 
Borrower is in the business of purchasing and leasing aircraft and aircraft engines and equipment.
 
Pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of February, 2019, (as amended from time to time, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) by and among Borrower, the Lenders, and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders, the Lenders agreed to make available to Borrower a revolving credit facility (the “Existing Loan”), to be used for the purpose of refinancing existing revolving debt, acquiring aircraft and aircraft engines, and supporting Borrower’s working capital needs and general corporate purposes.
 
The Existing Credit Agreement has been amended by that (i) Forbearance Agreement dated as of October 28, 2019 (as amended, the “Prior Forbearance Agreement”), (ii) First Amendment of Forbearance Agreement and First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of November 13, 2019 (the “First Amendment”), (iii) Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Consent for Sale of Collateral dated as of November 26, 2019 (the “Second Amendment”), (iv) Temporary Waiver and Consent and Third Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of December 4, 2019 (the “Third Amendment”), (v) Second Amendment to Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of December 12, 2019 (the “Fourth Amendment”), and (vi) Consent to Paycheck Protection Program dated as of April 16, 2020.
 
Defaults and Events of Default have occurred under the Existing Credit Agreement, which Defaults and Events of Default (collectively, the “Noticed Events of Default”) are specifically identified in the Notice of Default; Reservation of Rights Letters dated as of October 15, 2019, December 3, 2019, January 3, 2020, February 13, 2020, March 16, 2020 and April 7, 2020 and delivered by Agent to Borrower and its Subsidiary guarantors (the “Reservation of Rights Letters”) (such Noticed Events of Default other than that specified in the January 3, 2020 Reservation of Right Letter (which was subsequently cured), collectively, the “Specified Events of Default”).
 
A Forbearance Termination Event (as defined in the Prior Forbearance Agreement) occurred on December 30, 2019, thereby causing a Forbearance Termination Date (as defined in the Prior Forbearance Agreement) to occur on such date.
 
As of April 1, 2020, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Existing Loan is $83,514,823.64 (which amount does not take into account the capitalized interest for April 2020 to be added to the principal on May 1, 2020).

Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement all of Borrower’s liability and obligations under the MUFG Bank Swap Contracts constitute Lender Hedging Obligations secured by the Collateral. On March 10, 2020, MUFG Bank delivered to Borrower a Notice of Default and Declaration of Early Termination Date of Swap Contracts (the “First ISDA Notice”), notifying Borrower of the election of MUFG Bank (as the nondefaulting party) to designate an Early Termination Date (as defined therein) as a result of an event of default under the ISDA Agreement and close out the transactions outstanding thereunder.

Borrower’s obligations and liability to MUFG Bank as described in the ISDA Notices, including the obligation to pay such Early Termination Value, continue to be hereinafter secured by the Collateral.
 
Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety (without novation) to grant Borrower a temporary forbearance with respect to the Specified Events of Default referenced in Recital D above and NordLB Specified Event of Default (hereinafter defined), if any, and amend the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, including to convert the Existing Loan to a term loan, and make other amendments, all as set forth herein.

(iii) The portion of interest accruing on each Base Rate Loan on account of the Applicable Base Rate Cash Margin shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Base Rate Loan and at such other times as may be specified herein.
 
(iv) The portion of interest accruing on each Base Rate Loan on account of the Applicable Base Rate PIK Margin shall be due and payable in kind by capitalizing and adding to the outstanding principal balance of such Base Rate Loan on each Interest Payment Date for such Base Rate Loan (after which time such capitalized interest shall no longer be treated as accrued and unpaid interest but instead shall be treated as a portion of the outstanding principal balance of such Base Rate Loan and bear interest in accordance with this Agreement for all purposes); provided that Borrower shall have the right, in its discretion, to pay such amount, in full but not in part, in cash upon providing written notice to Agent of its election to do so at least three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.

. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on all outstanding Obligations shall, upon the election of Agent or the Requisite Lenders, confirmed by written notice from Agent to Borrower, accrue and be payable at the Default Rate; provided that, the Default Rate shall not apply as a result of solely a Strategic Alternative Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders require it. Interest accruing at the Default Rate shall be payable to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, on demand and in any event on the Maturity Date. Agent shall not be required to (1) accelerate the maturity of the Loans or (2) exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, in order to charge the Default Rate.

. In no event shall the aggregate of all interest on the Obligations charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to the Notes (if any) exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. In the event that such a court determines that a Lender has charged or received interest under this Agreement or the Notes (if any) in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect under this Agreement and the Notes (if any) shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and Lender shall promptly apply such excess to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations, or if the principal balance of the Obligations owing have been paid in full, Lender shall promptly apply such excess to reduce any other Obligations, and if all Obligations have been paid in full, then Lender shall refund to Borrower any interest received by Lender in excess of the maximum lawful rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the highest applicable rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the highest applicable rate, until such time as the total interest received by Lender from the making of Loans hereunder is equal to the total interest that Lender would have received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this Section 2.3) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. It is the intent of this Agreement that Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that Lender not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Borrower under Applicable Law.

The Late Fee is imposed for the purpose of defraying the expenses of Agent and the Lenders incident to handling such delinquent payment. This provision shall not, however, be construed as extending the time for payment of any amount due under the Loan Documents. The Late Fee shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other amount that Agent or the Lenders may be entitled to receive or action that Agent or the Lenders may be authorized to take as a result of such late payment.

2.12 Use of Proceeds
 
. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by Borrower to convert the existing revolving debt to a term loan and to support Borrower’s working capital needs and general corporate purposes. Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, use any part of any Loan proceeds for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to extend credit to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock, or for any purpose which violates, or is inconsistent with, Regulation X of such Board of Governors.
 
2.13 All Obligations to Constitute One Obligation
 
. All Obligations related to the Credit Facility constitute one general obligation of Borrower and shall be secured by Agent’s Liens upon all of the Collateral, and by all other Liens previously, now or at any time in the future granted by Borrower to Agent or any Lender to the extent provided in the Collateral Documents and permitted by this Agreement.
 
2.14 Authorization to Make Loans

2.17 Withholding of Taxes
 
.
 
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower 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 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 2.17) 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 Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
 
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, Borrower shall deliver to 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 Agent.
 
(d) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including 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 Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.8.5 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 Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this paragraph (e).
 
(f) 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 Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or 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 Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), 2.17(f)(ii)(B) and  2.17(f)(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.
 
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person,
 
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
 
(B) any Foreign Lender shall comply with Section 12.17.
 
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and 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 Borrower or Agent), 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 Agent 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 Agent 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 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.
 
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 Agent 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 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), 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 2.17 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; Defined Terms. Each party's obligations under this Section 2.17 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 Term Loan Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term "Applicable Law" includes FATCA.

The requirement to deliver such LOI in accordance with this Section is referred to herein as the “Strategic Alternative LOI Milestone”.

The Lenders shall have forty-eight (48) hours to provide their consent or rejection to the Agent of the LOI satisfying the Strategic Alternative LOI Milestone. To the extent no consent or rejection is provided by such deadline by a Lender, such Lender will be considered to have consented that such LOI satisfies the Strategic Alternative LOI Milestone.

For clarity, (i) Revised Transaction Letters for multiple transactions (e.g., for refinancing a portion of the Obligations and another for the sale of certain aircraft) would be acceptable as long as (1) the aggregate net cash proceeds generated from such transactions, if executed, would be sufficient to repay the Obligations by the Strategic Alternative Closing Milestone in an amount satisfactory to all Lenders and (2) the requirements to close each transaction under each such Revised Transaction Letter is consistent with those of the other transactions contemplated under the other Revised Transaction Letters such that no such transaction is effectively not feasible as a result of the terms of any of the other Revised Transaction Letters. The Lenders shall have forty-eight (48) hours to provide their consent or rejection to the Agent of the Revised Transaction Letter satisfying the Exclusivity Milestone. To the extent no consent or rejection is provided by such deadline by a Lender, such Lender will be considered to have consented that such Revised Transaction Letter satisfies the Exclusivity Milestone.

In addition, subject to Section 16.2, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may (and upon prior written approval of Requisite Lenders shall), without notice, take any one or more of the following actions: (i) declare all or any portion of the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such Obligations shall become and be due and payable; or (ii) exercise any rights and remedies provided to Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 9.1.5, 9.1.6 or 9.1.7, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable (and any obligation of Lenders to make further Loans, if not previously terminated, shall immediately be terminated) without declaration, notice or demand by Agent.
 
9.2.2 In addition to all other rights and remedies of Agent or Lenders under this Agreement (except to the extent any such Collateral is subject to a lease (including any Lease) which provides for the quiet use and enjoyment of such Collateral by the Lessee thereunder), Borrower expressly agrees that, subject to Section 16.2, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of such Agent by credit bid the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption Borrower hereby releases.

Until Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral and except to the extent any such Collateral is subject to a Lease which provides for the quiet use and enjoyment of such Collateral by the Lessee thereunder, Agent shall have the right to complete, assemble, use or operate the Collateral or any part thereof, to the extent that Agent deems appropriate, for the purpose of preserving such Collateral or its value or for any other purpose.

Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Agent’s remedies with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower waives all claims, damages, and demands against Agent, its Affiliates, Agent, and the officers and employees of any of them arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of any Collateral except such as are determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. Borrower agrees that ten (10) days’ prior notice by Agent to Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Agent is entitled.
 
9.2.4 Each of Agent’s and Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies which Agent and Lenders may have under any Loan Document or at law or in equity. Recourse to the Collateral shall not be required. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any Applicable Law, and all provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to any Applicable Law that may be controlling and to be limited, to the extent necessary, so that they do not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part.
 
9.3 Waivers by Borrower
 
. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower waives: (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Loan Documents, the Notes or any other notes, commercial paper, Accounts, Contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties at any time held by Lender on which Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Lender’s taking possession or control of, or to Lender’s replevin, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Lender to exercise any of its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws.

12.8.1 Subject to Section 10, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Agent, each of Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns. Each Lender represents that it is not acquiring its Note with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to any requirement that disposition of such Note must be within the control of such Lender). Any Lender may at any time pledge its Note or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall release that lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank the rights of a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge.
 
12.8.2 From time to time following the Closing Date, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment; provided that (i) such Eligible Assignee, if not then a Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, shall be approved by Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (ii) such assignment shall be evidenced by a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent as provided below; (iii) except in the case of an assignment (a) to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or to another Lender or (b) of the entire remaining Term Loan Commitment of the assigning Lender, the assignment shall not assign a Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment that is equivalent to less than $5,000,000.00; (iv) the effective date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, but not earlier than the date which is five (5) Business Days after the date Agent has received the Commitment Assignment and Acceptance; and (v) such Eligible Assignee shall execute an Alternative Dispute Resolution Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. Upon the effective date of such Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, with the Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment therein set forth and, to the extent of such Pro Rata Share, the assigning Lender shall be released from its further obligations under this Agreement. Borrower agrees that it shall execute and deliver (against delivery by the assigning Lender to Borrower of its Note(s)) to such assignee Lender, Note(s) evidencing that assignee Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment, and to the assigning Lender, Note(s) evidencing the Pro Rata Share retained by the assigning Lender.
 
12.8.3 By executing and delivering a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance by Borrower of the Obligations; (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 8 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Commitment Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) it appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
 
12.8.4 Agent shall maintain at Agent’s Office a copy of each Commitment Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) of the names and address of each of the Lenders and the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments held by each Lender, giving effect to each Commitment Assignment and Acceptance. The Register shall be available during normal business hours for inspection by Borrower or any Lender upon reasonable prior notice to Agent. After receipt of a completed Commitment Assignment and Acceptance executed by any Lender and an Eligible Assignee, and receipt of a non-refundable assignment fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.00) from such Lender or Eligible Assignee, Agent shall, promptly following the effective date thereof, provide to Borrower and the Lenders a revised Schedule A giving effect thereto. Borrower, Agent and the Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment shall be effective, in each case unless and until a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by Agent and recorded in the Register as provided above. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment.
 
12.8.5 Each Lender may from time to time grant participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions (a “Participant”) in a portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment; provided, however, 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; (iii) the participating banks or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, (A) for the purposes of Section 12.2.5 but only to the extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrower does not exceed the cost which Borrower would have incurred in respect of such Lender absent the participation and (B) for the purposes of Sections 2.17,  14.1 and 14.2 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.8.2; provided, that, such participating bank (1) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 12.10 as if it were an assignee under Section 12.8.2, and (2) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.17, 14.1, and 14.2, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive; (iv) Borrower, Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; (v) the participation interest shall be expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment as it then exists or in the granting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment, so long as the amount of the participation interest is not affected thereby; and (vi) the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents other than those which (A) extend the Maturity Date or any other date upon which any payment of money is due to the Lenders, (B) reduce the rate of interest on the Notes, any fee or any other monetary amount payable to the Lenders (in each case other than as specifically provided herein), (C) reduce the amount of any installment of principal due under the Notes, or (D) release any material Collateral from the Lien of the Collateral Documents (other than as specifically provided herein). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of 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 any Loan Document (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 Term Loan Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Term Loan Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
 
12.9 Right of Setoff
 
. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (subject to Section 16.2), Agent or any Lender (but in each case only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) may exercise its rights under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other Applicable Law and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, apply any funds in any deposit account maintained with it by Borrower and/or any Property of Borrower in its possession against the Obligations. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
 
12.10 Sharing of Setoffs
 
. Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, through any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject to Applicable Law: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from each of the other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and shall pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender’s share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section 12.10 shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased pursuant to this Section 12.10 may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant or any Swap Contract Counterparty with respect to Lender Hedging Obligations, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "Agent" or “Administrative Agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents 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 merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through its agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
13.2 Lenders’ Credit Decisions
 
. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, Agent, employees or attorneys of the foregoing parties, and instead in reliance upon information supplied to it by or on behalf of Borrower and upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also agrees that it shall, independently and without reliance upon Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, Agent, employees or attorneys of the foregoing parties, continue to make its own independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan Documents.
 
13.3 Agent and Affiliates
 
. MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (and each successor Agent) has the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” includes MUFG Union Bank, N.A. in its individual capacity. MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (and each successor Agent) and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, as if it were not Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (and each successor Agent) need not account to any other Lender for any monies received by it in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. Agent shall not be deemed to hold a fiduciary relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against Agent.
 
13.4 Proportionate Interest in any Collateral
 
. Agent, on behalf of Lenders (and Swap Contract Counterparties with respect to Lender Hedging Obligations), shall hold in accordance with the Loan Documents all items of any Collateral or interests therein to be received or held by Agent. Subject to Agent’s and Lenders’ rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses hereunder (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other professional services and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by Agent or a Lender) and subject to the application of payments in accordance with Section 9.4, each Lender (and Swap Contract Counterparty with respect to Lender Hedging Obligations) shall have an interest in such collateral or interests therein in the same proportion that the aggregate obligations owed such Lender (and such Swap Contract Counterparty with respect to Lender Hedging Obligations), under the Loan Documents and/or Lender Hedging Obligations, as applicable, bears to the aggregate obligations owed under the Loan Documents and all Lender Hedging Obligations, without priority or preference among Lenders (and Swap Contract Counterparties with respect to Lender Hedging Obligations).

13.5.3 Agent 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 Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise, as directed in written instructions by the Requisite Lenders (or all the Lenders, to the extent required by Section 12.16); and those instructions shall be binding upon Agent and all Lenders, provided that Agent shall not be required to act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to 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 affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law) or would result, in the reasonable judgment of Agent, in substantial risk of liability to Agent.
 
13.5.4 If Agent has received a notice specified in Section 13.5.1, Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Lenders and shall, subject to Section 13.5.3, act or not act upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or of all the Lenders, to the extent required by Section 12.16), except that if the Requisite Lenders fail, for five (5) Business Days after the receipt of notice from Agent, to instruct Agent, then Agent, in its sole discretion, may act or not act as it deems advisable for the protection of the interests of Lenders.

13.6.2 May consult with legal counsel (including in-house legal counsel), accountants (including in-house accountants) and other professionals or experts selected by it, or with legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts for Borrower or Lenders, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with any advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts selected by it with reasonable care;
 
13.6.3 Shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statement, warranty or representation made in any of the Loan Documents or in any notice, certificate, report, request or other statement (written or oral) given or made in connection with any of the Loan Documents except for those expressly made by it;

13.7 Indemnification
 
. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment (if the Term Loan Commitment is then in effect) or in accordance with its proportion of the aggregate Indebtedness then evidenced by the Notes (if the Term Loan Commitment has then been terminated), indemnify and hold Agent and its directors, officers, Agent, employees and attorneys harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and allocated costs of attorneys employed by Agent) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents (other than losses incurred by reason of the failure of Borrower to pay the Indebtedness represented by the Notes) or any action taken or not taken by it as Agent thereunder, except such as result from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any out of pocket cost or expense incurred by Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, amendment, waiver, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that Borrower or any other party is required by Section 12.2 to pay that cost or expense but fails to do so upon demand.

13.8 Successor Agent
 
. Agent may, and at the request of the Requisite Lenders shall, resign as Agent upon reasonable notice to Lenders and Borrower effective upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Agent. If Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor Agent for Lenders, which successor Agent shall be approved by Borrower (and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that in no event shall any successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and Borrower, a successor Agent from among Lenders. 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 Agent shall be terminated.

16.3 General Release
 
. Borrower, on behalf of itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, successors, assigns, legal representatives and financial advisors (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Agent, the Lenders and each of their respective past and present directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, affiliates, predecessors, successors, administrators and assigns (the “Released Parties”) of and from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, rights, damages, costs, loss of service, expenses and compensation whatsoever heretofore or hereafter arising from any events or occurrences, or anything done, omitted to be done, or allowed to be done by any of the Released Parties, on or before the date of execution of this Agreement, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN, including, without limitation, any of the same arising from or related to anything done, omitted to be done, or allowed to be done by any of the Released Parties and in any way connected with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, any other credit facilities provided or not provided, any advances made or not made, or any past or present deposit or other accounts of any Releasing Party with any Released Party and the handling of the same by any Released Party, including, without limitation, the manner and timing in which items were deposited or credited thereto or funds transferred therefrom or made available to any of the Releasing Parties, the honoring or returning of any checks drawn on any account, and any other dealings between the Releasing Parties and the Released Parties (the “Released Matters”). Releasing Parties each further agree never to commence, aid or participate in (except to the extent required by order or legal process issued by a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction) any legal action or other proceeding based in whole or in part upon the Released Matters. In furtherance of this general release, Releasing Parties each acknowledge and waive the benefits of California Civil Code Section 1542 (and all similar ordinances and statutory, regulatory, or judicially created laws or rules of any other jurisdiction), which provides:
 
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, AND THAT IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.
 
Releasing Parties each agree that this waiver and release is an essential and material of this Agreement, and that the agreements in this paragraph are intended to be in full satisfaction of any alleged injuries or damages to or of any Releasing Parties in connection with the Released Matters. Each Releasing Party represents and warrants that it has not purported to convey, transfer or assign any right, title or interest in any Released Matter to any other person or entity and that the foregoing constitutes a full and complete release of the Released Matters. Releasing Parties each also understand that this release shall apply to all unknown or unanticipated results of the transactions and occurrences described above, as well as those known and anticipated. Releasing Parties each have consulted with legal counsel prior to signing this release, or had an opportunity to obtain such counsel and knowingly chose not to do so, and each Releasing Party executes such release voluntarily, with the intention of fully and finally extinguishing all Released Matters.
