Each Company acknowledges that it is jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations and as a result hereby unconditionally guaranties the full and prompt payment when due, whether at maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all Obligations of every kind and nature of each other Company to Agent, Purchasers and their Affiliates, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, and howsoever owned, held or acquired by Agent, any Purchaser or any Affiliate of a Purchaser. Each Company agrees that if this guaranty, or any Liens securing this guaranty, would, but for the application of this sentence, be unenforceable under applicable law, this guaranty and each such Lien shall be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent that would not cause this guaranty or such Lien to be unenforceable under applicable law, and this guaranty shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times. Each Company hereby agrees that its obligations under this guaranty shall be unconditional, irrespective of (a) the validity or enforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof, or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (b) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Company or any guarantor or other action to enforce the same, (c) the waiver or consent by Agent, any Purchaser or any other Person with respect to any provision of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing or securing all or any part of the Obligations, or any other agreement, instrument or document now or hereafter executed by any other Company and delivered to Agent, any Purchaser or any other Person (other than a waiver, forgiveness or consent by Agent, a Purchaser or other Person, as applicable, that reduces the amount of any of the Obligations to such Person), (d) the failure by Agent, any Purchaser or any other Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or Collateral for the Obligations, for its benefit, (e) Agent’s or any Purchaser’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar bankruptcy or insolvency legislation, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar bankruptcy or insolvency legislation, (f) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Company as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar bankruptcy or insolvency legislation, (g) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar bankruptcy or insolvency legislation, of all or any portion of Agent’s or any Purchaser’s claim(s) for repayment of the Obligations or (h) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Company or a guarantor (other than payment in full of the Obligations). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.4, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the liability incurred by each Company in respect of the Obligations of the other Company (and any Lien granted by each Company to secure such Obligations), not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable law of any state or other governmental unit (“Fraudulent Conveyance”). Consequently, each Company, Agent and each Purchaser hereby agree that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the incurrence of liability by any Company in respect of the Obligations of the other Company (or any Liens granted by such Company to secure such Obligations) would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, such liability (and such Liens) shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause the same to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Agreement and the other Investment Documents shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly.

In no event shall interest payable by Companies to Agent and Purchasers hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, and if any such provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law, such provision shall be deemed modified to limit such interest to the maximum rate permitted under such law.

(c) Interest shall be payable in cash monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month and at maturity (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on February 28, 2018; provided that interest at the Default Interest Rate shall be payable earlier on demand.

Section 3

Yield Protection.

3.1

Taxes.

(a) All payments of principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or documentary taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, withholdings, deductions or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Taxes”), excluding any (i) taxes imposed on or measured by any Purchaser’s net income or franchise taxes (or other similar taxes imposed in lieu thereof) either (A) by the jurisdiction under which such Purchaser is organized or conducts business or (B) as a result of a present or former connection between such Purchaser and the jurisdiction imposing such tax (other than connections arising from such Purchaser having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligation under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Investment Document), (ii) any branch profit taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which a Purchaser is located, (iii) in the case of any foreign Purchaser, any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such foreign Purchaser at the time such foreign Purchaser becomes a party to this Agreement, (iv) taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA, and (v) any taxes as a result of any Purchaser’s failure to comply with Section 3.1(d) (all excluded items being called “Excluded Taxes” and all Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes being called “Indemnified Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Companies hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Companies will: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) in the case of amounts withheld or deducted in respect of Indemnified Taxes, pay to Agent for the account of Purchasers such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Purchaser will equal the full amount such Purchaser would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. If any Indemnified Taxes are directly asserted against Agent or any Purchaser with respect to any payment received by Agent or such Purchaser hereunder, Agent or such Purchaser may pay such Indemnified Taxes and the Companies will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense, except to the extent such penalty, interest or expense is imposed on Agent or the affected Purchaser for the time period after such Agent or Purchaser has received notice of liability for such Indemnified Tax and such Agent or Purchaser fails to make timely payment of such Tax) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Indemnified Taxes not been asserted so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is 180 days prior to the date on which Agent or such Purchaser first made demand therefor; provided, that if the event giving rise to such costs or reductions has retroactive effect, such 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

(b) If the Companies fail to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent, for the account of the respective Purchasers, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Companies shall indemnify Purchasers for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Purchaser as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 3.1, a distribution hereunder by Agent or any Purchaser to or for the account of any Purchaser shall be deemed a payment by the Companies.

(c) If Agent or any Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Companies or with respect to which the Companies have paid additional or make-up amounts pursuant to Section 3.1, it shall pay over such refund to the Companies (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional or make-up amounts paid, including all interest, penalties and expenses, by the Companies under this Section 3.1 with respect to Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable expenses of Agent or such Purchaser and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Companies, upon the request of Agent or such Purchaser, agree to repay the amount received (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent or such Purchaser in the event Agent or such Purchaser is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Agent or any Purchaser to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Companies or any other Person.

(d) (i) Each Purchaser that is a U.S. person shall deliver to Company Representative and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Company Representative or Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is not subject to United State federal backup withholding tax.

(ii) Each Purchaser that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America shall execute and deliver to Company Representative and Agent one or more (as the Companies or Agent may reasonably request) Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (as applicable) or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service certifying as to such Purchaser’s entitlement to exemption from or reduced rate of withholding or deduction of Taxes.

(iii) If a payment made to a Purchaser under any Investment Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to Company Representative and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Company Representative or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Company Representative or Agent as may be necessary for Company Representative and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount to duct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this subsection 3.1(d)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iv) Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this subsection 3.1(d) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Company Representative and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

3.2

Increased Cost.

(a) If, after the Closing Date, the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation (other than the implementation of FATCA, as in effect, with respect to any Purchaser, as of the date such Purchaser becomes a party to this Agreement), or any change in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule or regulation (other than FATCA) by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Purchaser with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose on any Purchaser any condition affecting its Note and the result is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) such Purchaser of making or maintaining its Note, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Purchaser under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, then upon demand by such Purchaser (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent and the Companies), the Companies shall pay directly to such Purchaser such additional amount as will compensate such Purchaser for such increased cost or such reduction to the extent arising from and in connection with, the Notes, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is 180 days prior to the date on which such Purchaser first made demand therefor; provided, that if the event giving rise to such costs or reductions has retroactive effect, such 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

(b) If any Purchaser shall reasonably determine that any change in, or the adoption or phase-in of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by any Purchaser or any Person controlling such Purchaser with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Purchaser’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Purchaser or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such change, adoption, phase-in or compliance (taking into consideration such Purchaser’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Purchaser or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, upon demand by such Purchaser (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent and the Companies), the Companies shall pay to such Purchaser such additional amount as will compensate such Purchaser or such controlling Person for such reduction, to the extent arising from and in connection with, the Notes, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is 180 days prior to the date on which such Purchaser first made demand therefor; provided, that if the event giving rise to such costs or reductions has retroactive effect, such 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States of America or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case in respect of this clause (ii) pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to constitute an adoption of, or change in, a law, rule or regulation, for purposes of subsection 3.2(a) above, and a change in, or the adoption or phase-in of, a law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, for purposes of subsection 3.2(b) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement of Purchasers.

(a) Each Purchaser shall promptly notify Company Representative and Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Purchaser) to mitigate or avoid, any obligation by Companies to pay any amount pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 (and, if any Purchaser has given notice of any such event and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Purchaser shall promptly so notify Companies and Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Purchaser will designate a different funding office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to Companies of) any event described above and such designation would not, in such Purchaser’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Purchaser.

(b) If (i) the Companies become obligated to pay additional amounts to any Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 or (ii) any Purchaser does not consent to any matter requiring its consent under Section 10.1 when the Required Purchasers have otherwise consented to such matter, then the Companies may within 90 days thereafter designate another lender which is acceptable to Agent (such other lender being called a “Replacement Purchaser”) to purchase the Notes of such Purchaser and such Purchaser’s rights hereunder, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Purchaser, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes payable to such Purchaser plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Notes and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Purchaser and any other amounts payable to such Purchaser under this Agreement, and to assume all the obligations of such Purchaser hereunder, all in compliance with Section 10.8.1. Upon such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), such Purchaser shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Purchaser prior to the date of such purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to the Companies hereunder, and the Replacement Purchaser shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Purchaser hereunder.

3.8

Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival.

Determinations and statements of any Purchaser pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Purchasers may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 3.1 and 3.2, provided that all such methods are based on and evidenced by reasonable documentation of the applicable costs, expenses, losses, etc., and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Notes, cancellation of the Notes and termination of this Agreement.

8.3.1

Cure Notice.

In the event the Companies desire to cure a Financial Covenant Default under this Agreement, the Companies may deliver to Agent irrevocable written notice of its intent to cure (a “Cure Notice”) no later than the date on which financial statements and a Compliance Certificate as of and for the period ending on the last day of the Fiscal Quarter as of which such Financial Covenant Default occurred (each such last day of a Fiscal Quarter, a “Testing Date”) are required to be delivered; provided, however, that in no event shall the Companies be permitted to exercise Equity Cure Rights hereunder (i) more than five (5) times during the term of this Agreement or (ii) more than two (2) times during any four consecutive Fiscal Quarter period.

8.3.2

Equity Cure Securities.

In the event the Companies deliver a Cure Notice, there shall be purchased common or preferred equity interests of (or cash equity capital contributions to) Holdings not constituting Disqualified Stock (“Equity Cure Securities”) for cash consideration in an amount specified by the Companies in the Cure Notice (the “Financial Covenant Cure Amount”) no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which financial statements and a Compliance Certificate as of and for the period ending on the applicable Testing Date are required to be delivered (the “Required Contribution Date”). The Financial Covenant Cure Amount shall be equal to the amount required to cause the Companies to be in compliance with the applicable Financial Covenant Default under this Agreement (assuming that EBITDA as of the applicable Testing Date was increased by an amount equal to such Financial Covenant Cure Amount). Such Financial Covenant Cure Amount received by Holdings in cash, the contribution of such cash proceeds to any Company (whether as a contribution in respect of existing equity securities or purchase price in respect of new equity securities by a Company) on or prior to the Required Contribution Date shall be deemed to have increased EBITDA as of the applicable Testing Date and any subsequent Computation Period that includes the Testing Date solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants contained in Sections 7.14.1 and 7.14.4 of this Agreement at the applicable Testing Date and any subsequent Computation Period that includes the Testing Date, but shall be disregarded for all other purposes hereunder.

8.3.3

No Event of Default.

If a Cure Notice has been delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, then from the date of such Cure Notice until the earlier to occur of the Required Contribution Date and the date on which Agent is notified that the required contribution will not be made, neither Agent nor any Purchaser shall impose default interest, accelerate the Obligations or exercise any enforcement remedy against the Companies, any other Note Party or any of their respective properties solely as a result of the Financial Covenant Default with respect to which such Cure Notice pertains; provided that until timely receipt of the Financial Covenant Cure Amount, an Event of Default shall, subject to the terms of Section 8.3.4, shall be deemed to exist for all other purposes of this Agreement.

8.3.4

Cure.

Upon timely receipt by Holdings in cash of the Financial Covenant Cure Amount, the contribution of such cash proceeds to the Companies on or prior to the Required Contribution Date and in an amount sufficient to cure the applicable Financial Covenant Default(s), the Companies shall be deemed to have been in compliance with such financial covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or Default of such financial covenants that had occurred shall be deemed not to have occurred for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9

Agent.

9.1

Appointment; Authorization.

(i) Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Investment Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Investment Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (ii) each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Collateral Agent to act as its collateral agent and representative for and on its behalf, and on behalf of the Indemnified Parties, with respect to all Collateral matters and under the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Collateral Documents.

9.2

Credit Decision.

Each Purchaser acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Companies and the other Note Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Purchaser. Each Purchaser represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Companies and the other Note Parties, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Companies hereunder. Each Purchaser also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Investment Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Note Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to Purchasers by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of any Note Party which may come into the possession of Agent.

9.3

Delegation of Duties.

Agent and Collateral Agent may execute any of their respective duties under this Agreement or any other Investment Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent and Collateral Agent shall undertake to perform such functions and duties, and only such functions and duties, as are specifically set forth in this Agreement (and, with respect to Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agency Agreement) and the other Investment Documents, respectively, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any other Investment Document (including the Collateral Agency Agreement) against Agent or Collateral Agent. The duties of Agent and Collateral Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature, and neither Agent nor Collateral Agent shall have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement or any other Investment Document or otherwise, a fiduciary or trust relationship in respect to any Purchaser or any other Secured Party. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement and any other Investment Document, neither Agent nor Collateral Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to any Note Party that is communicated to or obtained by Agent, Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity. None of Agent, Collateral Agent nor any of their Affiliates, nor any of its or their respective officers, partners, members, employees, attorneys, agents or representatives, shall be liable to any Purchaser or any other Secured Party for any action taken or suffered by it or them or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Investment Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for damages caused directly by Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In no event shall Agent or Collateral Agent be liable or otherwise responsible for any actions taken, or omitted to be taken, or any payments due from, any Note Party or Affiliate thereof.

In addition, except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, neither Agent nor Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Purchaser, any Secured Party, or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Note Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or whether any particular reserves are appropriate, or that the Liens granted to Collateral Agent in or pursuant to the Collateral Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights authorities and powers granted or available to Agent or Collateral Agent in this Agreement or any of the other Investment Documents, it being understood and agreed that (i) in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Collateral Agent may act in any manner deemed appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion (but subject to the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement), and (ii) that neither Agent nor Collateral Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to any Purchaser or any other Secured Party, other than liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Purchaser and each other Secured Party hereby appoints each other Purchaser and each other Secured Party as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Collateral Agent’s security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, can be perfected by possession. Should any Purchaser (other than Collateral Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Purchaser shall notify Collateral Agent thereof and, promptly upon Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to Collateral Agent or in accordance with Collateral Agent’s instructions. In its capacity as Collateral Agent and subject to the provisions of the Collateral Agency Agreement, Collateral Agent has the right to exercise all rights and remedies available under the Investment Documents, the UCC and other applicable law, as directed by the Required Purchasers, which rights and remedies shall include, in the event of a foreclosure by Collateral Agent on any portion of the Collateral, whether pursuant to a public or private sale, the right of Collateral Agent, as agent for all Purchasers and with the consent of the Required Purchasers, to be, or form an acquisition entity to be, the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale.

Neither Agent nor Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to any Purchaser or Secured Party, as applicable, to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Investment Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Note Party or Affiliate of any Note Party.

9.5

Reliance.

Agent and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Note Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent or Collateral Agent. Agent and Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Investment Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Required Purchasers (or all Purchasers if expressly required hereunder) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from Purchasers of their obligation to indemnify Agent and/or Collateral Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Agent or Collateral Agent will notify Purchasers of its receipt of any such notice or any such default in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Purchasers. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by Required Purchasers in accordance with Section 8.2 and Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by the Required Secured Parties under and as defined in the Collateral Agency Agreement; provided, that unless and until Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, has received any such request, it may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Purchasers (or the Secured Parties, as the case may be), except to the extent that this Agreement or the Collateral Agency Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of Required Purchasers, all of Purchasers or as otherwise required in such circumstance pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement..

With respect to their Notes (if any), Polyform Debtco and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though Polyform Debtco were not Agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” include Polyform Debtco and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, on behalf after consulting with Purchasers and (so long as no Event of Default exists) the Companies, a successor agent from among Purchasers. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Section 11 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Purchasers appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

10.3

Computations.

Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any accounting term used in this Agreement (including in Section 7.14 or any related definition) shall have the meaning customarily given such term in accordance with GAAP, and all financial computations (including pursuant to Section 7.14 and the related definitions, and with respect to the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense, or any consolidation or other accounting computation) hereunder shall be computed in accordance with GAAP consistently applied; provided that if Company Representative notifies Agent that the Companies wish to amend any covenant in Section 7.14 (or any related definition) to eliminate or to take into account the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if Agent notifies Company Representative that Required Purchasers wish to amend Section 7.14 (or any related definition) for such purpose), then the Companies’ compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant (or related definition) is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Companies and Required Purchasers. The explicit qualification of terms or computations by the phrase “in accordance with GAAP” shall in no way be construed to limit the foregoing. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, (i) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (Codification of Accounting Standards 825-10) to value any Debt or other liabilities of any Note Party or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein, (ii) to the extent that any change in GAAP after the Closing Date results in leases which are, or would have been, classified as operating leases under GAAP as it exists on the Closing Date being classified as a capital lease under as revised GAAP, such change in classification of leases from operating leases to capital leases shall be ignored for purposes of this Agreement and (iii) for purposes of calculating compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.14, the determination of Total Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, expenses, Debt, Taxes and Capital Expenditures incurred or made by Holdings (excluding expenses or Capital Expenditures of Holdings actually paid with the proceeds of an equity issuance by Holdings not prohibited hereunder) shall be deemed to be expenses, indebtedness, taxes or capital expenditures, as applicable, of the Companies.

10.6

Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.

Neither Agent nor any Purchaser shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Companies or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Companies make a payment or payments to Agent or any Purchaser, or Agent or any Purchaser enforces its Liens or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent or any Purchaser in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation hereunder 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 enforcement or setoff had not occurred and (b) each Purchaser severally agrees to pay to Agent upon demand its ratable share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by Agent to the extent paid to such Purchaser.

10.7

Nonliability of Purchasers.

The relationship between the Companies on the one hand and Purchasers and Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of the Companies and lenders. Neither Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any fiduciary responsibility to the Companies. Neither Agent nor any Purchaser undertakes any responsibility to the Companies to review or inform the Companies of any matter in connection with any phase of the Companies’ business or operations. No party to this Agreement or any Note Document, or any of their respective affiliates, agents, officers, owners, investors, partners, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability with respect to, and each the parties hereto hereby waive, release and agree not to sue for, any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages or liabilities.

10.8

Assignments; Participations.

10.8.1

Assignments.

(a) Any Purchaser may at any time assign to one or more Persons (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of such Purchaser’s Notes, with the prior written consent of Agent (which consent may be given or withheld in Agent’s sole discretion) and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Company Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and which consents shall not be required (i) from Company Representative for an assignment by a Purchaser to another Purchaser or an Affiliate of a Purchaser or an Approved Fund of a Purchaser or (ii) from Agent for an assignment by a Purchaser to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or an Approved Fund of a Purchaser). It is understood and agreed that it shall not be considered unreasonable for the Companies to withhold consent to an assignment to any Person that has been identified by Company Representative or Sponsor as an operating company directly and primarily engaged in substantially similar business operations as the Note Parties and their Subsidiaries (it being further agreed that such operating company competitors shall not include any institutional lender that is primarily engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of business). Except as Agent may otherwise agree, any such assignment (other than any assignment by a Purchaser to a Purchaser or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Purchaser) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the principal amount of the Notes being assigned. The Companies and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500 to be paid by the Purchaser to whom such interest is assigned; provided, that no such fee shall be payable in connection with any assignment by a Purchaser to a Purchaser or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Purchaser. Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 10.8.1 shall be null and void. Company Representative shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless Company Representative has expressly objected to such assignment within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof.

(b) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser hereunder and (ii) the assigning Purchaser, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Purchaser) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, the Companies shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Purchaser) a Note in the principal amount of the Assignee’s pro rata share of such Notes. Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Upon receipt by the assigning Purchaser of such Note, the assigning Purchaser shall return to the Companies any prior Note held by it.

(c) Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Companies, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Purchaser, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Notes owing to, such Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries in such register shall be conclusive, and the Companies, Agent and Purchasers may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by the Companies and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to Agent.

10.8.2

Participations.

Any Purchaser may at any time sell to one or more Persons (other than, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Person that has been identified in writing to the Agent and the Purchasers at least two (2) Business Days prior to such sale (and which such writing, for purposes of clarification, shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any Persons that have previously acquired a participation interest) by Company Representative or Sponsor as an operating company directly and primarily engaged in substantially similar business operations as the Note Parties and their Subsidiaries (it being further agreed that such operating company competitors shall not include any institutional lender that is primarily engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of business) participating interests in its Notes (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) the Companies and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder and (c) all amounts payable by the Companies shall be determined as if such Purchaser had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Purchaser. Unless otherwise expressly provided under a participation agreement between such Purchaser and a Participant, no Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder. The Companies also agree that, if a Participant complies with Section 3 hereof as if it were a Purchaser, then such Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3 as if it were a Purchaser (provided that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 3 than would have been paid to the participating Purchaser if no participation had been sold). Each Purchaser that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Companies, shall 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 Notes under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that any obligations under this Agreement are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Purchaser, each Note Party and Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

10.9

Confidentiality.

Agent and each Purchaser agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts Agent or such Purchaser applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain as confidential all non-public information (and excluding information independently developed by Agent or Purchasers or in the possession of Agent or Purchasers prior to disclosure thereof by the Note Parties) provided to them by or on behalf of any Note Party, except that Agent and each Purchaser may disclose such information (a) to Persons employed or engaged by Agent or such Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (including collateral managers of Purchasers) in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Notes; (b) to any assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply with the covenant contained in this Section 10.9 (and any such assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose such information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in clause (a) above); (c) as required or requested by any federal or state regulatory authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association; (d) as reasonably believed by Agent or such Purchaser to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or administrative order or process; provided that Agent or such Purchaser, as applicable, shall, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or such decree, subpoena, order or process, endeavor to provide prompt written notice to Company Representative of any such disclosure requirement in order to provide the Companies an opportunity to prevent, dismiss or otherwise limit such disclosure obligation; provided further that such Agent or Purchaser, as applicable, shall have no liability to any Company, Note Party or any of their Affiliates as a result of the failure to supply such notice; (e) as, on the advice of Agent’s or such Purchaser’s counsel, is required by law; (f) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under the Investment Documents or in connection with any litigation to which Agent or such Purchaser is a party; (g) to any nationally recognized rating agency or investor of a Purchaser that requires access to information about a Purchaser’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued or investment decisions with respect to such Purchaser; (h) that ceases to be confidential through no fault of Agent or any Purchaser; (i) to a Person that is an investor or prospective investor in a Securitization that agrees that its access to information regarding the Companies and the Notes is solely for purposes of evaluating an investment in such Securitization and who agrees to treat such information as confidential; (j) to a Person that is a lender (or agent for such lenders) to a Purchaser or participant or potential assignee or participant, to the extent the obligations of such Person to such lender(s) are or are to be secured by the Notes or a participation interest therein, or (k) to a Person that is a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, noteholder or secured party in a Securitization in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for such Securitization. For purposes of this Section, “Securitization” means a public or private offering by a Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, of securities which represent an interest in, or which are collateralized, in whole or in part, by the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Companies consent to the publication by Agent or any Purchaser of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

Nature of Remedies.

All Obligations of the Companies and rights of Agent and Purchasers expressed herein or in any other Investment Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Agent or any Purchaser, 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.

10.12

Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. Receipt by telecopy of any executed signature page to this Agreement or any other Investment Document shall constitute effective delivery of such signature page. This Agreement and the other Investment Documents to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission (including “pdf”), shall be treated in all manner and respects and for all purposes as an original agreement or amendment and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such other Investment Document shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or amendment was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

10.13

Severability.

The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

10.14

Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, together with the other Investment Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof (except as relates to the fees described in Section 2.8.3) and any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by the Companies of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of Agent or Purchasers.

10.15

Successors; Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the Companies, Purchasers and Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Companies, Purchasers and Agent and the successors and assigns of Purchasers and Agent.

10.16

10.17

Forum Selection; Consent to Jurisdiction.

ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INVESTMENT DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT COLLATERAL AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND.

10.18

Waiver of Jury Trial.

BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, AND UNDERSTANDING THEY ARE WAIVING A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO (A) THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER INVESTMENT DOCUMENT, INCLUDING ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE AMENDMENT THEREOF, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INVESTMENT DOCUMENT, OR (B) ANY CONDUCT, ACT OR OMISSION OF THE PARTIES OR THEIR AFFILIATES (OR ANY OF THEM) WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INVESTMENT DOCUMENT, INCLUDING ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE AMENDMENT THEREOF, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING SHALL BE DECIDED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.

10.19

Patriot Act.

Each Purchaser that is subject to the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Purchaser), hereby notifies each Note Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, such Purchaser and Agent are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Note Party, which information includes the name and address of each Note Party and other information that will allow such Purchaser or Agent, as applicable, to identify each Note Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

10.20

Representations and Warranties of Purchasers: Purchase for Investment.

10.20.1

Organization. Each Purchaser is a limited liability company, limited partnership or corporation, as the case may be, formed and validly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation, and has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and each Investment Document to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

10.20.2

Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by each Purchaser of this Agreement and of each of the other Investment Documents to which such Purchaser is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary action taken on the part of such Purchaser and its partners, members, directors or shareholders, as applicable.

10.20.3

Due Execution and Delivery; Binding Obligations. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Purchaser. This Agreement is, and at the time of the Closing each of the other Investment Documents to which such Purchaser is a party will be, legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability, and except as rights of indemnity or contribution may be limited by federal or state securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws.

10.20.4

No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by each Purchaser of this Agreement and each of the other Investment Documents to which such Purchaser is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not violate and will not cause a default under (a) the organizational documents of such Purchaser as in effect on the date hereof, (b) any material applicable laws of any Governmental Authority or (c) any material indenture, mortgage, lease, agreement or instrument to which such Purchaser is a party.

10.20.5

Governmental and Other Third Party Consents. Except for consents that have already been obtained or made, no Purchaser is required to obtain any material consent from, and is not required to make any declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any other Investment Document. Each of the consents which have been obtained or made by each Purchaser in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any other Investment Document is in full force and effect.

10.20.6

Investment Intent. Each Purchaser is acquiring the applicable Notes for its own account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof in violation of applicable federal or state securities laws. Each Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities laws in reliance upon specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of each Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. Therefore, each Note is a “restricted security” which cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom and may have to be held indefinitely. Each Purchaser accepts the risk of such restrictions on resale.

10.20.7

Accredited Investor Status. Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act). By reason of its own business and financial experience, each Purchaser has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in any of the Notes, has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of any of the Notes contemplated hereby and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment.

Section 11

Indemnification.

11.1

Indemnification.

11.1.1

The Companies shall indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless CNL, CNL Strategic Capital Management, LLC, Levine Leichtman Capital Partners, Inc., Agent, Collateral Agent, each Purchaser and each of its successors and assigns, Affiliates, employees, partners (both limited and general), members, shareholders, managers, officers, directors, representatives, agents, attorneys, successors, permitted assigns and participants (the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against, any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including Legal Costs (collectively, the “Losses”) incurred by or asserted or awarded against the Indemnified Parties in connection with, by reason of, or arising from:

(a) the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Investment Document;

(b) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Investment Document;

(c) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation made or deemed made by any Note Party or any representative thereof in this Agreement or any other Investment Document (or any other document or instrument executed herewith or pursuant hereto);

(d) the failure by any Note Party to fulfill any of its covenants, agreements or undertakings under this Agreement or any other Investment Document (or any other document or instrument executed herewith or pursuant hereto);

(e) any third party actions, suits, legal Proceedings or claims brought against any Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of or with respect to (A) any other matters arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Notes or any other Investment Document or (B) the business, operations or affairs of the Note Parties (including any litigation in which any Note Party (or any Affiliate, officer, director or employee thereof) is involved);

(f) any fee or commission payable or otherwise owing to any investment banker, broker, finder, placement agent or similar intermediary claiming to have been retained or employed by or on behalf of any Note Party;

(g) any action arising out of advisory or management services provided to any Note Party by Sponsor, Levine Leichtman Capital Partners, Inc. or any of their respective Affiliates; or

(h) any merger or consolidation (or any aspect thereof), including with respect to any document related thereto and any breach of any provisions of any such document and any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation made by any Person in any such document.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.1.1 shall not be deemed to require the Companies to indemnify any of the Indemnified Parties for Losses resulting from Agent’s or Purchasers’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement or another Investment Document, in each case as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Companies hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Losses which is permissible under applicable law.

11.1.2

Without limiting the foregoing Section 11.1.1, the Companies shall indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against any and all Environmental Claims asserted against any Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of or with respect to (i) the use, handling, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any Hazardous Substance at any property owned or leased by a Company or any other Note Party, (ii) the investigation, cleanup or remediation of offsite locations at which any Note Party or their respective predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly disposed of Hazardous Substances., (iii) any actual or alleged violations of Environmental Laws by any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any predecessor in interest, (iv) any Environmental Claim in any way relating to any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any predecessor in interest, and (v) any Environmental lien against any real property or any other property presently or formerly owned or operated by any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor in interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.1.2 shall not be deemed to require the Companies to indemnify any Indemnified Party for Losses resulting directly and solely from Agent’s or Purchasers’ own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement or another Investment Document, in each case as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

11.1.3

The Companies shall either pay directly all Losses which they are required to pay hereunder or reimburse any Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after any written request for such payment. The liability of the Companies to such Indemnified Parties hereunder shall not be extinguished solely because any Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity hereunder.

11.1.4

The obligations of the Companies to the Indemnified Parties under this Article 11 shall survive (i) the repayment of the Obligations (whether at maturity, by prepayment or acceleration or otherwise), (ii) any transfer of any Obligation or any interest therein, and (iii) the termination of this Agreement or any other Investment Document.

11.2

Indemnification Procedures.

Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Article 11 shall (a) give prompt written notice to Company Representative of any claim with respect to which it is entitled to seek indemnification and (b) permit the Companies to assume the defense of such claim with counsel selected by the Companies and reasonably acceptable to such Person; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (i) the Companies shall have agreed to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the Companies shall have failed to notify such Person in writing within ten (10) days of its receipt of such written notice to Company Representative that it will assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably acceptable to such Person, or (iii) in the good faith judgment of any such Person, based on the advice of counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such Person, on the one hand, and the Companies or Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the Company Representative in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Companies, the Companies shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). No Company nor any Indemnified Party will be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnified Party may, without the consent of the Companies (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Note Parties of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Further, the Companies may not, without the consent of the applicable Indemnified Parties (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Parties of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

11.3

Contribution.

If the indemnification provided for in this Article 11 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses, then the Companies, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Note Parties, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Note Parties, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been taken by, or relates to information supplied by, either any Note Party or such Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11.3 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

11.4

Reimbursement of Deal-Related Costs and Expenses.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, and in addition to all other amounts due or owing to Agent and each Purchaser hereunder, under any other Investment Document or otherwise, the Companies shall be responsible to, and agree to promptly after demand therefor by Agent and each Purchaser, reimburse Agent and each Purchaser for any and all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of every type and nature (including all fees and expenses of outside counsel, consultants, accountants, solvency firms and other deal-related costs and expenses) incurred by or on behalf of Agent and each Purchaser in connection with its due diligence investigation of the Note Parties and their respective Affiliates, and the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses relating to lien searches, filing fees, due diligence, accounting services, legal services, administration of the credit relationship, interpretation or enforcement of the Note Parties’ rights under any of the Investment Documents), the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Investment Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Companies agree to pay to Agent and each Purchaser on the Closing Date for all of such fees, costs and expenses.
