WHEREAS, Borrower, Parent, certain Lenders and Administrative Agent are party to that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of April 16, 2012 (the “Interim Agreement”) among Borrower, as borrower, Parent, the lenders thereunder (the “Existing Lenders”) and Wells Fargo, as Administrative Agent;

WHEREAS, Borrower, Parent, Lenders and Administrative Agent have agreed to enter into this Agreement in order to (i) amend and restate the Interim Agreement in its entirety; (ii) re-evidence the “Obligations” under, and as defined in, the Interim Agreement, which shall be repayable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) set forth the terms and conditions under which (x) the Existing Loans (as defined below) shall be reallocated as Loans (as defined below) owing to Lenders under this Agreement in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage and (y) the Lenders shall, in order to effect such reallocation, purchase Existing Loans from the Existing Lenders, in each case, on the Restatement Effective Date;

WHEREAS, it is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement not constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities of the parties under the Interim Agreement or be deemed to evidence or constitute full repayment of such obligations and liabilities, but that this Agreement amend and restate in its entirety the Interim Agreement and re-evidence the obligations and liabilities of Borrower outstanding thereunder, which shall be payable in accordance with the terms hereof; and

WHEREAS, it is also the intent of each of Borrower and Parent to confirm that all obligations under the Interim Agreement and “Loan Documents” (as referred to and defined in the Interim Agreement) shall continue in full force and effect as modified and/or restated hereby and that, from and after the Restatement Effective Date, all references to the “Agreement” contained in any such existing “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Interim Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either Borrower or Required Lenders shall so request, Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of Required Lenders); provided that until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

(c) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. All references herein to consolidated financial statements of the Companies or to the determination of any amount for the Companies on a consolidated basis or any similar reference shall, in each case, be deemed to include each variable interest entity that Parent is required to consolidate pursuant to FASB ASC 810 as if such variable interest entity were a Subsidiary as defined herein, provided further that for all purposes in calculating consolidated covenants hereunder the Parent shall be deemed to own one hundred percent (100%) of the equity interests in the Borrower.

1.04 Financial Standards. All financial computations required of a Person under this Agreement shall be calculated without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein.

1.05 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

1.06 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

1.07 Amendment and Restatement of the Interim Agreement.

(a) The parties to this Agreement agree that, on the Restatement Effective Date, the terms and provisions of the Interim Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the “Obligations” under (and as defined in) the Interim Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the Restatement Effective Date. All “Loans” made and “Obligations” incurred under (and as defined in) the Interim Agreement which are outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date shall continue as Loans and Obligations under (and shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness hereof: (a) all references in the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Interim Agreement) to the “Administrative Agent”, the “Term Loan Agreement” and the “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to the Administrative Agent, this Agreement and the Loan Documents, (b) all obligations constituting “Obligations” (under and as defined in the Interim Agreement) with any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender which are outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date shall continue as Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) the liens and security interests in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the “Secured Parties” securing payment of the “Secured Obligations” are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect with respect to all “Secured Obligations” (in each case as defined in the Loan Documents), (d) the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate each Lender for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurodollar Loans and such reallocation described below, in each case on the terms and in the manner set forth in Section 3.05 hereof, (e) the “Loans” (as defined in the Interim Agreement) shall be reallocated as Loans owing to the Lenders under this Agreement on the Restatement Effective Date in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage and, in connection therewith, Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to, make such reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of each Lender’s Loans under the Interim Agreement as are necessary in order that each such Lender’s outstanding Loans hereunder reflect such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Commitments on the Restatement Effective Date.

(b) Each of Borrower and Parent hereby (a) agrees that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall not limit or diminish its respective obligations arising under or pursuant to the Loan Documents to which it is a party, (b) reaffirms all of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, (c) reaffirms all Liens on any collateral (including the Collateral) which have been granted by it in favor of Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents (and any filings made in connection therewith), and (d) acknowledges and agrees that each Loan Document executed by it remains in full force and effect and is hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed.

Article II.
The Credit

2.01 Reallocation; Loans. Prior to the Restatement Effective Date, certain term loans were previously made to Borrower under the Interim Agreement which remain outstanding as of the Restatement Effective Date (such outstanding loans being hereinafter referred to as the “Existing Loans”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Borrower and each of the Lenders agree that on the Restatement Effective Date but subject to the satisfaction of the reallocation and other transactions described in Section 1.07, the Existing Loans shall be reevidenced as loans under this Agreement (each such loan, a “Loan” hereunder), the terms of the Existing Loans shall be restated in their entirety and shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the aggregate Commitments under this Agreement shall be increased. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender (other than any Lender holding Existing Loans in an amount not less than its Commitment under this Agreement, which Existing Loans constitute Loans hereunder) severally and not jointly agrees to the reallocation and other transactions described in Section 1.07 and agrees to purchase, on the Restatement Effective Date, from any Existing Lender such Existing Loans (which, following such purchase, shall be Loans hereunder) and to make additional Loans to Borrower as is necessary to cause each such Lender’s outstanding Loans hereunder to reflect such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Commitments on the Restatement Effective Date; provided that after giving effect to all such reallocations and purchases, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Available Loan Amount. It is understood and agreed that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, new Loans made to Borrower on the Restatement Effective Date shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $35,000,000. Borrowings hereunder may be ratable Floating Rate Borrowings or ratable Eurodollar Borrowings. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Loans may not be reborrowed.

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Loans shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Loans to Floating Rate Loans, and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Floating Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Floating Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the duration of the initial Interest Period with respect thereto. If Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then (I) so long as no Event of Default exists, the applicable Loans shall be made as, or continued to, a Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month and (II) if an Event of Default exists, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Floating Rate Loans. If Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, then it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic continuation described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 1.07 and Section 2.01, shall make the amount of its Loan available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 5.02 and Section 5.01, Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to Borrower by 1:00 p.m. in like funds as received by Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Wells Fargo Bank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Administrative Agent by Borrower.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Loans without the consent of Required Lenders.

(d) Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans upon determination of such interest rate.

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than six (6) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans.

2.03 Incremental Term Loans. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent on up to six (6) occasions during the period from the Restatement Effective Date to the date that is 30 days prior to the Maturity Date, enter into one or more tranches of incremental term loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of $165,000,000 (and not less than $25,000,000 (and increments of $2,500,000 in excess thereof) in respect of any individual tranche of Incremental Term Loans) one or more additional Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans in their own discretion. The Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts, with the assistance of the Borrower, to arrange a syndicate of Lenders willing to hold the requested Incremental Term Loans. If Lenders are willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans, the Incremental Term Loans may be made with the consent of only the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and each new or existing Lender providing such Incremental Term Loan so long as the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans does not exceed $400,000,000 less any voluntary reductions after the Restatement Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.05. Nothing in this Section 2.03 shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an agreement by any Lender to provide Incremental Term Loans. Such Incremental Term Loans shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an Amendment Regarding Incremental Term Loans in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the new Lender or existing Lender providing such Incremental Term Loan, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay all fees associated with any Incremental Term Loans including any amounts due under Section 3.05 in connection with any reallocation of Eurodollar Borrowings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan shall become effective under this Section 2.03 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received such customary certificates, documents and opinion letters as it may reasonably request (it being understood and agreed that the forms of certificates, documents and opinion letters delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(ii) through (vi) shall be acceptable) and (y)(A) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02(a) and (b) shall be satisfied and (B) after giving effect to the Incremental Term Loans to be made on such date, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Borrowing Base and, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, which certificate can be incorporated into and constitute a part of an Amendment Regarding Incremental Term Loans executed by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.03, and (ii) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 8.14 after giving effect to the Incremental Term Loans to be made on such date and the application of the proceeds therefrom as if made and applied on such date. The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Loans, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date (but may have amortization prior to such date) and (iii) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Loans; provided that the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Maturity Date may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Maturity Date. Incremental Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or restatement (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, each new Lender participating in such tranche (if any), each existing Lender participating in such tranche (if any) and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders (except as expressly required pursuant to Section 11.01), effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.03.

2.04 Extension Offers.

(a) The Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) to all the Lenders to make one or more Extension Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Extension Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Extension Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Extension Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans of the Lenders that accept the applicable Extension Offer (such Lenders, the “Extending Lenders”).

(b) An Extension Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to an Extension Agreement executed and delivered by the Parent, the Borrower, each applicable Extending Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Extension Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, (ii) on the date of effectiveness thereof, the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct (A) in the case of the representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (B) otherwise, in all material respects, in each case on and as of such date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that specifically relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be so true and correct on and as of such earlier date, and (iii) the Parent and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Agreement. Each Extension Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Extending Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section.

2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Borrower may, upon notice to Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans and (B) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Floating Rate Loans or, in each case, in connection with a prepayment of the Loans in full, upon such shorter notice as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent in writing; (ii) any prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Floating Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $25,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, then Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, provided that such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other events. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.17, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

(b) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Available Loan Amount, then Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days, prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that any prepayment hereunder be applied first to any Floating Rate Loans outstanding and then to the Eurodollar Loans outstanding.

(c) Upon the occurrence of any Change of Control, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter, (i) prepay in full the Outstanding Amount of Loans held by each Lender and (ii) pay all fees, expenses and other amounts due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder.

2.06 Reduction and Termination of Commitments. The Aggregate Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the Restatement Effective Date.

2.07 Repayment of Loans. Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date.

2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Fixed Rate and (ii) each Floating Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate.

(i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii) Upon the request of Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(b) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09 RESERVED.

2.10 Computation of Interest; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

(a) All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, except that computations of interest in respect of Floating Rate Borrowings shall be made on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366-day year in a leap year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Parent or for any other reason, then Parent, Borrower, Administrative Agent or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by Parent and Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate at any time during which the Applicable Rate is determined by reference to the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, then Borrower shall be obligated to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders within three (3) Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.08(b) or under Article IX. Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

2.11 Evidence of Debt. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. If and to the extent Administrative Agent shall not make such payments to a Lender when due as set forth in the preceding sentence, then such unpaid amounts shall accrue interest, payable by Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate from the due date until (but not including) the date on which Administrative Agent makes such payments to such Lender. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Clawback.

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. The Administrative Agent shall use its best efforts to provide the Borrower with notice (but failure to provide such notice shall not act as a waiver or limitation of any of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Section 2.12(b)) of its intent to so fund to the Borrower without having received all Lenders’ share of such Borrowing. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, then Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, within one (1) Business Day. If and to the extent Administrative Agent shall not return such funds to a Lender when due as set forth in the preceding sentence, then such unpaid amounts shall accrue interest, payable by Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate from the due date until (but not including) the date on which Administrative Agent returns such funds to such Lender.

A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, then Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(d) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(d) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(d).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price immediately restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest;

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply); and

(iii) the provisions of this Section shall be disregarded to the extent necessary to conform to the intended treatment of the Loans in connection with any Extension Permitted Amendment or Incremental Term Loan Amendment.

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.15 RESERVED.

2.16 RESERVED.

2.17 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

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

(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9.02 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.18 Guaranties. Pursuant to the Parent Guaranty, Parent shall unconditionally Guarantee in favor of Administrative Agent and Lenders the full payment and performance of the Obligations. Pursuant to the Subsidiary Guaranty or an addendum thereto in the form attached to the Subsidiary Guaranty, Parent and Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to execute a Subsidiary Guaranty unconditionally guarantying in favor of Administrative Agent and Lenders the full payment and performance of the Obligations.

Article III.
Taxes, Yield Protection and Illegality

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require Borrower or Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If Borrower or Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) Administrative Agent or Borrower, as applicable, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) Administrative Agent or Borrower, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Administrative Agent or a Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, without duplication, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by Borrower or Administrative Agent or paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify Borrower and Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Borrower or Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against Borrower or Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to Borrower or Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(iii) Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 11.06(b)(iii)(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 Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative 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 Administrative Agent to Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this subparagraph (iii).

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by Borrower or by Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Each Lender shall deliver to Borrower and to Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative 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 request of Borrower or Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(2) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(3) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

(4) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(5) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that Borrower or Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

(iv) If a payment made to a Lender by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other 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 Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subparagraph (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans based on the Eurodollar Rate or to convert Floating Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of, or material restriction on, such Lender making or maintaining Loans based on the Eurodollar Rate, the Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality or material restriction, bear interest at the Substitute Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to Floating Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Floating Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, accrue at the Substitute Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the interest rate applicable to such Lender by referencing the Substitute Rate until Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Loan or a Floating Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate, for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Floating Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan or the LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR Market Index Rate, the Floating Rate Loans shall accrue interest at the Substitute Rate, in each case until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Loans that will bear interest at the Substitute Rate in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Loans.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, assessment, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e));

(ii) subject Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

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

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-(9-)month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Loans. Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided that Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.

3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13;

excluding any loss of anticipated profits and including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

3.07 Survival. All of Borrower’s, each Lender’s and the Administrative Agent’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of Administrative Agent.

Article IV.

4.04 Eligibility. In order for an Acceptable Property to be eligible for inclusion in the Borrowing Base, such Acceptable Property shall satisfy the following unless otherwise approved by the Required Lenders:

(a) all Property Information with respect to such Acceptable Property shall be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent;

4.08 RESERVED.

4.09 Release of Borrowing Base Property. The Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with no less than five (5) Business Days written notice of any proposed sale, refinancing or other permanent disposition of any Borrowing Base Property, and in connection therewith, Administrative Agent shall release such Borrowing Base Property from the Borrowing Base and any and all Liens in the Equity Interests of the applicable Property Owner or individually related to such Property Owner granted pursuant to the Security Documents and, where appropriate, release such Property Owner from the Subsidiary Guaranty; provided that no Default exists before and after giving effect thereto (other than Defaults solely with respect to such Borrowing Base Property that would no longer exist after giving effect to the release of such Borrowing Base Property from the Borrowing Base) and the Release Condition shall be satisfied; provided, further, that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to release any such Liens or obligations without a Borrowing Base Report setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations required to establish the amount of the Borrowing Base without such Borrowing Base Property and a Compliance Certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations required to show that Parent and Borrower are in compliance with the terms of this Agreement without the inclusion of such Borrowing Base Property in the calculation of the Borrowing Base and the various financial covenants set forth herein, in each case as of the date of such release and after giving effect to any such release. In addition, to the extent the Administrative Agent has received a Subsidiary Guaranty and/or Equity Interest collateral with respect to any Company or Property which does not own, directly or indirectly, a Borrowing Base Property, provided no Default is then in existence, the Administrative Agent will release such Subsidiary Guaranty and/or Equity Interest collateral upon the request of the Borrower in connection with any sale or financing not prohibited under this Agreement or the creation of any joint venture Investment not prohibited hereunder.

4.10 Exclusion Events. Each of the following events shall be an “Exclusion Event” with respect to a Borrowing Base Property:

(a) such Borrowing Base Property suffers a Material Environmental Event after the date of this Agreement which the Administrative Agent determines, acting reasonably and in good faith, materially impairs the Borrowing Base Asset Value or marketability of such Borrowing Base Property;

(b) Administrative Agent determines that such Borrowing Base Property has suffered a Material Property Event after the date such Property was admitted into the Borrowing Base (or in the case of an uninsured Casualty, in respect of such Borrowing Base Property, is reasonably likely to become a Material Property Event) which the Administrative Agent determines, acting reasonably and in good faith, materially impairs the Borrowing Base Asset Value or marketability of such Borrowing Base Property;

(c) (i) any default by any Property Owner, as tenant under any applicable Acceptable Ground Lease, in the observance or performance of any material term, covenant, or condition of any applicable Acceptable Ground Lease on the part of such Property Owner to be observed or performed and said default is not cured following the expiration of any applicable grace and notice periods therein provided, or (ii) the leasehold estate created by any applicable Acceptable Ground Lease shall be surrendered or (iii) any applicable Acceptable Ground Lease shall cease to be in full force and effect or (iv) any applicable Acceptable Ground Lease shall be terminated or canceled for any reason or under any circumstances whatsoever, or any of the material terms, covenants or conditions of any applicable Acceptable Ground Lease shall be modified, changed, supplemented, altered, or amended in any manner not otherwise permitted hereunder without the consent of Administrative Agent; and

(d) The Improvements have been damaged (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and not repaired or are the subject of any pending or, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, threatened Condemnation or adverse zoning proceeding, except as could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Property Event.

After the occurrence of any Exclusion Event, Administrative Agent, at the direction of Required Lenders in their sole discretion, shall have the right at any time and from time to time to notify Borrower (the “Exclusion Notice”) that, effective ten (10) Business Days after the giving of such notice and for so long as such circumstance exists, such Property shall no longer be considered a Borrowing Base Property for purposes of determining the Borrowing Base. Borrowing Base Properties which have been subject to an Exclusion Event may, at Borrower’s request, be released from the Borrowing Base; provided that such release shall be subject to the conditions for release set forth in Section 4.09.

If Administrative Agent delivers an Exclusion Notice and such Exclusion Event no longer exists, then Borrower may give Administrative Agent written notice thereof (together with reasonably detailed evidence of the cure of such condition) and such Borrowing Base Property shall, effective with the delivery by Borrower of the next Borrowing Base Report, be considered a Borrowing Base Property for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base as long as such Borrowing Base Property meets all the requirements to be included in the Borrowing Base set forth in this Article IV. Any Property that is excluded from the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Section 4.10 may subsequently be reinstated as a Borrowing Base Property, even if an Exclusion Event exists, upon such terms and conditions as Required Lenders may approve.

4.11 Documentation Required with Respect to Borrowing Base Properties

. Borrower shall deliver, or shall cause the applicable Property Owner to deliver, each of the following with respect to each Acceptable Property to be admitted to the Borrowing Base:

There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the actual knowledge of any Company without independent investigation, threatened, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against any Company or against any of their properties or revenues that (a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 6.06, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there has been no adverse change in the status, or financial effect on any Company, of the matters described on Schedule 6.06.

All of the outstanding Equity Interests in each Property Owner have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the applicable Pledgors free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens permitted by Section 8.01).

6.09 Environmental Compliance.

(a) The Companies conduct in the ordinary course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations and properties, and as a result thereof Parent and Borrower have reasonably concluded that, except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 6.09, such Environmental Laws and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, without independent investigation, and except as otherwise may be disclosed in any Environmental Assessment, or as may be indicated in an Environmental Report delivered to Administrative Agent and except to the extent the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) no Borrowing Base Property has been used (A) for landfilling, dumping, or other waste or Hazardous Material disposal activities or operations in violation of Environmental Laws, or (B) for generation, storage, use, sale, treatment, processing, or recycling of any Hazardous Material, in violation of Environmental Laws, or for any other use that has resulted in Contamination; (ii) there is no Hazardous Material, storage tank (or similar vessel) whether underground or otherwise, sump or well currently on any Property; (iii) no Company has received any written notice of, or has actual knowledge of, any Environmental Claim or any completed, pending, proposed or threatened investigation or inquiry concerning the presence or release of any Hazardous Material on any Property or concerning whether any condition, use or activity on any Property is in violation of any Environmental Requirement; (iv) the present conditions, uses, and activities on each Property do not violate any Environmental Requirement and the use of any Property which any Company (and each tenant and subtenant) makes and intends to make of any Property complies and will comply with all applicable Environmental Requirements; (v) no Property appears on the National Priorities List, any federal or state “superfund” or “superlien” list, or any other list or database of properties maintained by any local, state, or federal agency or department showing properties which are known to contain or which are suspected of containing a Hazardous Material; (vi) no Company has ever applied for and been denied environmental impairment liability insurance coverage relating to any Property; (vii) no Company has, nor, to any Company’s knowledge, have any tenants or subtenants, obtained any permit or authorization to construct, occupy, operate, use, or conduct any activity on any Property by reason of any Environmental Requirement; and (viii) to any Company’s knowledge, there are no underground or aboveground storage tanks on such Property.

(c) Even though a Loan Party may have provided Administrative Agent with an Environmental Report or other environmental report or assessment together with other relevant information regarding the environmental condition of the Borrowing Base Properties, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent is not accepting the Borrowing Base Properties hereunder based solely on that report, assessment, or information. Rather Administrative Agent has relied on the assessments, reports, and representations and warranties of Borrower in this Agreement and Administrative Agent is not waiving any of its rights and remedies in the environmental provisions of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document.

6.10 Insurance. The properties of the Loan Parties are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of any Loan Party, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Loan Parties operate.

6.11 Taxes. The Companies have filed all material Federal, state and other tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all material Federal, state and other taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP or which would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no proposed tax assessment against any Company that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.12 ERISA Compliance.

(a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state laws. Each Pension Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the form of such Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the Internal Revenue Service. To the best knowledge of Parent and Borrower, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status. Parent and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan.

(b) There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of Parent and Borrower, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.13 Subsidiaries; Equity Interests. As of the Restatement Effective Date, Parent and Borrower have no Subsidiaries other than those specifically disclosed in Part (a) of Schedule 6.13, and all of the outstanding Equity Interests in such Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by a Company in the amounts specified on Part (a) of Schedule 6.13 free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens permitted by Section 8.01). As of the Restatement Effective Date, neither Parent nor Borrower has any direct or indirect Equity Interests in any other Person other than those specifically disclosed in Part (b) of Schedule 6.13. All of the outstanding Equity Interests in each Property Owner have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the applicable holders in the amounts specified on Part (c) of Schedule 6.13 free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens permitted by Section 8.01).

6.14 Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act.

6.15 Disclosure. Parent and Borrower have disclosed to Administrative Agent and the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which any Company is subject, and all other matters known to them, that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect. The reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any Company to Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), taken as a whole, do not contain any material misstatement of fact or fail to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that with respect to projected financial information, Parent and Borrower represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time made.

6.16 Compliance with Laws. Each Company is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.17 Taxpayer Identification Number. As of the date hereof, each Loan Party’s true and correct U.S. taxpayer identification number is set forth on Schedule 11.02.

To the best knowledge of each Loan Party, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by any Loan Party infringes upon any rights held by any other Person except where such infringement would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 6.18, no claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of each Loan Party, threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.19 Representations Concerning Leases. Borrower and the applicable Property Owners have delivered true and correct copies of each rent roll as required by Section 4.11(c).

6.20 Solvency. No Loan Party (a) has entered into the transaction or executed this Agreement or any other Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) has not received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. After giving effect to any Loan, the fair saleable value of each Loan Party’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of any such Loan, exceed such Loan Party’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. No Loan Party’s assets constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted, nor will its assets constitute unreasonably small capital immediately following the making of any Loan. No Loan Party intends to incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by such Loan Party and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of such Loan Party). No petition under any Debtor Relief Laws has been filed against any Loan Party in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.

No Loan Party has received any notice or claim from any Person that a Borrowing Base Property, or any use, activity, operation, or maintenance thereof or thereon, is not in compliance with any Law, and has no actual knowledge of any such noncompliance except as disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent;

(b) The Loan Parties have not directly or indirectly conveyed, assigned, or otherwise disposed of, or transferred (or agreed to do so) any development rights, air rights, or other similar rights, privileges, or attributes with respect to a Borrowing Base Property, including those arising under any zoning or property use ordinance or other Laws;

No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, in violation in any material respect of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977. No Loan Party is engaged in or has engaged in any course of conduct that could reasonably be expected to subject any of its properties to any Lien, seizure or other forfeiture under any criminal law, racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations or other similar criminal laws.

Article X.
Administrative Agent

10.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Administrative Agent”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders and (ii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither Borrower nor any other Company shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions other than with respect to Section 10.06.

10.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Company or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent:

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

(b) 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 Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Parent, Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If a Lender becomes aware of a Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such fact.

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

10.05 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

10.06 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Parent and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee which appointment shall, provided no Event of Default exists, be subject to Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that, if no such successor Administrative Agent shall accept such appointment, such resignation shall be effective in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s resignation notice and the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute the Administrative Agent for all determinations hereunder. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower, the Parent and each Lender prior written notice. The Administrative Agent may be removed as administrative agent by all of the Lenders (excluding the Lender then serving as Administrative Agent) and the Borrower upon 30 days’ prior written notice if the Administrative Agent is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder.

10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

10.08 No Other Duties, Etc

. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lead Arranger listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to transfer or release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) subject to Section 11.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders, (iv) in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.09, (v) in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement or (vi) after foreclosure or other acquisition of title if approved by Required Lenders;

(b) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under any Subsidiary Guaranty if such Person, or the limited partnership in which such Person is the general partner, ceases to own a Borrowing Base Property; and

(c) if all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, Administrative Agent shall take title to the collateral in its name or by an Affiliate of Administrative Agent, but for the benefit of all Lenders in their Applicable Percentages on the date of the foreclosure sale or recordation of the deed in lieu of foreclosure. Administrative Agent and all Lenders hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right of partition with respect to any Collateral so acquired.

In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and each of the Security Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Security Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders upon the terms of the Security Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Lenders any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders.

Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.10. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to Section 10.10(a)(ii), or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which, if applicable, shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

10.11 Funds Transfer Disbursements.

(a) Generally. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form. The Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrower; or (ii) made in the Borrower’s name and accepted by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by the Borrower. The Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrower to effect a wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by the Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, the Borrower agrees that no matter how many times the Administrative Agent takes these actions the Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of any known errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after the Administrative Agent’s confirmation to the Borrower of such transfer.

(b) Funds Transfer. The Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. The Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization, (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or any Lender or prohibited by any Governmental Authority, (iii) cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline or (iv) otherwise cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any applicable law or regulation.

10.12 Requests for Approval. If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall, or, in the case of any request for consent or approval that is subject to clauses (a) through (h) of Section 11.01, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period, but in no event less than five (5) Business Days for responses based on Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from the Administrative Agent provided that the request for approval states the time by which a response is needed before approval is deemed given. Solely with respect to any request for consent or approval requiring only the consent of the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 11.01, if the Lender does not so respond, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request.

10.13 Exercise of Rights by Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate obligations under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral.

Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one (1) individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its Equity Interests for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Administrative Agent may be recorded by Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement

. No failure by any Lender or Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by Required Lenders.

(b) Indemnification. Parent and Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any other Loan Party resulting from any action, suit, or proceeding relating to (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of Administrative Agent (and any subagent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Damages related in any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (w) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (x) result from a claim brought by Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Borrower or such other Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) for which an Indemnitee has been compensated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Engagement Letter.

(c) Environmental Indemnity. Each Loan Party hereby, jointly and severally, assumes liability for, and covenants and agrees at its sole cost and expense to protect, defend (at trial and appellate levels), indemnify and hold the Indemnitees harmless from and against, and, if and to the extent paid, reimburse them on demand for, any and all Environmental Damages. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNITEE WITH RESPECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF, OR ARE CLAIMED TO BE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF, THE NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY OF SUCH (AND/OR ANY OTHER) INDEMNITEE. HOWEVER, SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO A PARTICULAR INDEMNITEE TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SUBJECT OF THE INDEMNIFICATION IS (W) CAUSED BY OR ARISES OUT OF THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THAT PARTICULAR INDEMNITEE OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF SUCH INDEMNITEE AS DETERMINED IN A NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, (X) INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES UNLESS SUCH DAMAGES WERE IMPOSED UPON SUCH INDEMNITEE AS A RESULT OF ANY CLAIMS MADE AGAINST SUCH INDEMNITEE BY A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY (Y) RESULTS FROM ANY CLAIMS RELATED TO ANY REMEDIAL WORK PERFORMED BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY PERSON (OTHER THAN BORROWER OR ANOTHER LOAN PARTY) SO INDEMNIFIED TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH REMEDIAL WORK WAS NOT REQUIRED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW OR (Z) AFTER THE RELEASE DATE, ANY ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGES OR ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIM THAT ARE (A) BASED ON AN EVENT THAT OCCURS SOLELY AFTER SUCH RELEASE DATE, AND (B) THAT IS IN NO WAY RESULTING FROM ANY STATE OF FACTS OR CONDITION THAT EXISTED ON OR BEFORE SUCH RELEASE DATE. Upon demand by Administrative Agent or any Lender, the applicable Loan Party shall diligently defend any Environmental Claim which affects a Borrowing Base Property or is made or commenced against Administrative Agent or Lenders, whether alone or together with any other Loan Party or any other person, all at the Loan Parties’ own cost and expense and by counsel to be approved by Administrative Agent in the exercise of its reasonable judgment which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the defendants in a claim include any Loan Party and any Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that (a) there are legal defenses available to it that are materially different from those available to such Loan Party, (b) the use of the counsel engaged by Parent and Borrower would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, or (c) the counsel engaged by Parent and Borrower are not properly representing the Indemnitee’s interests or were not promptly provided, any Indemnitee may, at the sole cost and expense of Parent and Borrower, engage its own counsel to assume its legal defenses and to defend or assist it, and, at the option of such Indemnitee, its counsel may act as co-counsel in connection with the resolution of any Indemnified Claim; provided, however, that no compromise or settlement, which would impose upon any Loan Party any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, and/or penalties, shall be entered into without the consent of Parent and Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and, provided, further, that Parent and Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnitees unless an Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnitee and which legal defenses raise ethical and/or legal considerations which warrant separate counsel, provided that such Indemnitee shall make reasonable attempts to ensure that any environmental disbursements and legal expenses are not duplicative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

(i) The Indemnitees will endeavor to give Borrower notice of any Environmental Damage within thirty (30) days after an Indemnitee receives written notice of that Environmental Damage. However, if the Indemnitees fail to give Borrower timely notice of such Environmental Damage or otherwise default in their obligations under this Section 11.04(c) or Section 7.12, the Indemnitees shall retain the right to defend and control the settlement of the Environmental Damage. The Loan Parties’ sole remedy for such a default by the Indemnitees shall be to offset against the indemnification liability otherwise payable by the Loan Parties to the Indemnitees the amount of damages actually suffered by the Loan Parties as a result of the late notice or other default by the Indemnitees under this Section 11.04(c).

100

(ii) The Loan Parties shall have the right to elect to defend and control the settlement of any Environmental Damage if each of the following conditions is satisfied:

(A) The Environmental Damage seeks only monetary damages and does not seek any injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnitees;

(B) The Loan Parties unconditionally acknowledge in writing, in a notice of election to contest or defend the Environmental Damage given to the Indemnitees within ten (10) days after the Indemnitees give the Borrower notice of the Environmental Damage, that the Loan Parties are obligated to indemnify the Indemnitees in full, but subject to the limitations, as set forth in this Section 11.04(c) above with respect to the Environmental Damage;

(D) The counsel chosen by the Loan Parties to defend the Environmental Damage is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

(E) If reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties furnish the Indemnitees with a letter of credit, surety bond, or similar security in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitees in an amount sufficient to secure the Loan Parties’ potential indemnity liability to the Indemnitees in the full amount of the Environmental Damage.

(iii) If the Loan Parties elect to defend against an Environmental Damage, the Indemnitees shall, at their own expense, be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of, and receive copies of all pleadings and other papers in connection with, such Environmental Damage. If the Loan Parties do not, or are not entitled to, elect to defend an Environmental Damage in conformity with the requirements of this Section, the Indemnitees shall be entitled to defend or settle (or both), with the reasonable approval of the Borrower unless an Event of Default is in existence, that Environmental Damage on such terms as the Indemnitees for that Environmental Damage shall be satisfied in the manner provided for in this Section 11.04(c).

(iv) The Indemnitees will permit the Loan Parties to control the settlement of an Environmental Damage only if: (A) the terms of the settlement require no more than the payment of money - that is, the settlement does not require the Indemnitees to admit any wrongdoing or take or refrain from taking any action; (B) the full amount of the monetary settlement will be paid by the Loan Parties; and (C) the Indemnitees receive, as part of the settlement, a legally binding and enforceable unconditional satisfaction or release, which is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitees, providing that the Environmental Damage and any claimed liability of the Indemnitees with respect to it being fully satisfied because of the settlement and that the Indemnitees are being released from any and all obligations or liabilities they may have with respect to the Environmental Damage.

101

(d) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section to be paid by the Loan Parties to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting their obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (d) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(e) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than thirty (30) days after demand therefor.

(g) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

102

11.05 Payments Set Aside

. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

11.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so consented shall be null and void) and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 11.06(c). Notwithstanding clause (ii) of this Section, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (x) pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority and (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties hereto have complied with the provisions of Section 11.06(c). The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Loan or any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies with Section 11.06(c) in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with the Administrative Agent. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

(b) Participations.

(i) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to one or more banks, financial institutions, pension funds, or any other funds or entities other than the Borrower or its Affiliates (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Loans and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

103

(ii) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to any such Loan or Commitment or postpones any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan or Commitment or releases all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranties (subject to Sections 4.09 or 10.10).

(iii) Benefit of Certain Provisions; Participant Register.

(A) The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.08 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.08 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant, provided that such Lender and Participant may not each setoff amounts against the same portion of the Obligations, so as to collect the same amount from the Borrower twice. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.08, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 2.13 as if each Participant were a Lender. The Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.06(c), provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (ii) any Participant not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.01 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and (iii) such Participant agrees to comply with Section 3.06 as if it were a Lender.

104

(B) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(c) Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in the immediately preceding clause (A), the aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (in each case, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met and provided, further, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Commitment held by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $5,000,000, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.

105

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (B) of this Section 11.06(c)(i) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

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

(iv) Assignment and Assumption; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 for each assignment, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes requested pursuant to Section 2.11 are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

106

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to Parent or Borrower or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural person.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (iv) above, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that expressly survive the termination hereof with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.06(b).

(d) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office 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 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, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

107

11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives actively involved in the origination, syndication, closing, administration or enforcement of the Loans, (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or in connection with an examination of such Person by any such authority or at the request of any self-regulated body, (c) at the express direction of any other governmental authority, with jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, of any State of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction in which such Person conducts its business, (d) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) to such Person’s independent auditors, attorneys, agents and other professional advisors, (g) to bank trade publications, such customary information to consist of the name of the Borrower, size, tenor and type of facility, and the identity of titled banks, (h) to any other party hereto, (i) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same or at least as restrictive as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations hereunder, (j) with the consent of Borrower or (k) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower provided that the source of such information was not at the time known by Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or other legal or contractual obligation of confidentiality with respect to such Information. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Company relating to any Company or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Company, provided that in the case of information received from any Company after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

108

Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

11.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Required Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

11.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

109

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

11.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06, other than the consent of any Lender being so replaced), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

110

(a) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(c)(iv);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (excluding, in the case of any Defaulting Lender, any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

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

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

11.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF PARENT, BORROWER, AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION AS NECESSARY TO ENFORCE ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER.

111

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH OF PARENT, BORROWER, AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (b) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

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

11.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), Parent, Borrower, and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i)(A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Parent, Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger, on the other hand, (B) each of Parent, Borrower, and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii)(A) Administrative Agent, each Lender and Lead Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Parent, Borrower, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither Administrative Agent, any Lender nor Lead Arranger has any obligation to Parent, Borrower, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Parent, Borrower, the other Loan Parties, and their respective Affiliates, and neither Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any Lead Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Parent, Borrower, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each of Parent, Borrower, and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Lead Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

112

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.
