Unless otherwise specified herein Dollar ($) baskets set forth in the representations and warranty, covenants and event of default provisions of this Agreement (and other similar baskets) are calculated as of each date of measurement by the Dollar Equivalent Amount thereof as of such date of measurement. Reference to a Loan Party’s “knowledge” or similar concept means actual knowledge of a senior officer, or knowledge that a senior officer could have obtained if he or she had engaged in good faith and diligent performance of his or her duties, including reasonably specific inquiries of employees or agents and a good faith attempt to ascertain the matter. In determining whether any individual event could result in a Material Adverse Effect, notwithstanding that such event in and of itself does not have such effect, a Material Adverse Effect shall be deemed to have occurred if the cumulative effect of such event and all other then-existing events could result in a Material Adverse Effect.

2. LOANS.

2.1. Revolving Loans; Reserves; Sponsor L/Cs.

(a) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment will severally (and not jointly), from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, at Borrower Representative’s request, make revolving loans to Borrowers (“Revolving Loans”); provided that after giving effect to each such Revolving Loan and Swingline Loan, (i) the outstanding balance of all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans plus fees and expenses which are due and payable by Borrower under this Agreement but which have not been paid or charged to the Loan Account will not exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount and (y) the Borrowing Base, (ii) the sum of each Lender’s outstanding balance of Revolving Loans will not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and (C) none of the other Loan Limits for Revolving Loans will be exceeded. All Revolving Loans shall be made in and repayable in Dollars.

(b) Reserves. Agent may, with or without prior notice to Borrower Representative, from time to time establish and revise reserves against the Borrowing Base and the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount in such amounts and of such types as Agent deems appropriate in its Permitted Discretion (collectively, “Reserves” and individually, a “Reserve”) to reflect (i) events, conditions, contingencies or risks which affect or may affect (A) the Collateral or its value, or the enforceability, perfection or priority of the security interests and other rights of Agent in the Collateral or (B) the assets or business prospects of any Borrower or any Loan Party (including the Dilution Reserve), (ii) Agent’s good faith concern that any Collateral report or financial information furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Loan Party to Agent is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect, (iii) any fact or circumstance which Agent determines in good faith constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute, a Default or Event of Default, (iv) past due Taxes, (v) past due amounts owing to sub-contractors (or, with respect to auditing invoices related to hauler sub-contractors, only to the extent past due and not subject to a Permitted Protest) or (vi) any other events or circumstances which Agent determines in good faith make the establishment or revision of a Reserve prudent. In no event shall the establishment of a Reserve in respect of a particular actual or contingent liability obligate Agent to make advances to pay such liability or otherwise obligate Agent with respect thereto. Agent shall endeavor to provide notice to the Borrower Representative of any change to Reserves (other than those changes to any Reserves arising from application of the existing methodology for determining such Reserves).

-39-

(c) Sponsor L/Cs. All Sponsor L/Cs delivered to Agent from time to time by any Sponsor Affiliated Entity (i) shall be held by Agent, in accordance with and subject to the Sponsor L/C Drawing and Release Conditions, as security and collateral (for the benefit of Agent and Lenders), to secure the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations, and (ii) shall be subject to reduction and/or release as provided for in the definition of Sponsor L/C Drawing and Release Conditions. At any time and from time to time, any Sponsor Affiliated Entity may in its sole discretion increase any Sponsor L/C previously provided by such Sponsor Affiliated Entity to Agent and/or provide any additional Sponsor L/C (either by providing additional Sponsor L/C to be held by Agent and/or by providing an amendment to increase the undrawn face amount of any Sponsor L/C previously delivered to Agent) and the amount included in clause (c) of the Borrowing Base shall be increased immediately upon the delivery of such increased or additional Sponsor L/C (if such delivery is made prior to 12:00pm, Central time, on any Business Day) or on the next Business Day immediately following the delivery of such increased or additional Sponsor L/C (if such delivery is made after to 12:00pm, Central time, on any Business Day or on any day that is not a Business Day); provided that, any such increase in any Sponsor L/C shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $3,000,000 and in increments of $1,000,000 in the aggregate in excess thereof (unless Agent otherwise consents). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for in this Agreement, unless Agent otherwise consents, there shall be no more than six (6) individual Sponsor L/Cs from one or more Sponsor Affiliated Entities.

2.2. Protective Advances; Overadvances.

(a) Protective Advances. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at any time (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default or (ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 or otherwise are not satisfied, Agent is authorized by each Borrower and each Lender, from time to time, in Agent’s Permitted Discretion, to make such Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, any Borrower, as Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (1) to maintain, preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (the Revolving Loans described in this Section 2.2(a) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”). Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent may disburse the proceeds of any Protective Advance to any Borrower or to such other Person(s) as Agent determines in its sole discretion. All Protective Advances shall be payable immediately upon demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate amount of all Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed an amount equal to 10.00% of the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount (without giving effect to any Reserves established against the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount) and (ii) after giving effect to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding balance of all Protective Advances, Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans will not exceed the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount.

(b) Overadvances. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, at the request of Borrower Representative, Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Revolving Loans to any Borrower, on behalf of the Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment, in amounts that exceed Excess Availability (any such excess Revolving Loans are herein referred to herein, collectively, as “Overadvances”); provided, that, no Overadvance shall result in a Default or Event of Default due to any Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 2.1(a) for so long as such Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount

-40-

of such Overadvance. Overadvances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 have not been satisfied. The authority of Agent to make Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed an amount equal to 10.00% of the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount (without giving effect to any Reserves against the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount) at any time. No Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty (30) days and no Overadvance shall cause any Lender’s outstanding balance of Revolving Loans to exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment. Required Lenders may, at any time, revoke Agent’s authorization to make Overadvances, provided that any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon Agent’s receipt thereof.

(c) Lender Participation in Protective Advances and Overadvances. Upon the making of any Protective Advance or Overadvance (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default), each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance or Overadvance, as applicable, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitment. Agent may, at any time, require the applicable Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance or Overadvance, as applicable, purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Loan. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that (i) Agent may elect to fund a Protective Advance or Overadvance through one or more of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Eclipse Business Capital SPV, LLC) on behalf of Agent for administrative convenience and (ii) any such funding shall constitute a Protective Advance or Overadvance, as applicable, as if made by Agent subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.3. Notice of Borrowing; Manner of Revolving Loan Borrowing.

(a) Borrower Representative shall request each Revolving Loan by submitting such request by ABLSoft (or, if requested by Agent, by delivering, in writing or by an Approved Electronic Communication, a Notice of Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto) (each such request a “Notice of Borrowing”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Agent shall, except as provided in Section 2.2, deliver the amount of the Revolving Loan requested in the Notice of Borrowing for credit to any account of a Borrower as Borrower Representative may specify at a bank acceptable to Agent (provided, that such account must be one identified on Section 3 of the Perfection Certificate and approved by Agent as an account to be used for funding of Loan proceeds) (any such account, a “Funding Account”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) on the same day if the Notice of Borrowing is received by Agent on or before 10:00 a.m., Central Time, on a Business Day or (ii) on the immediately following Business Day if the Notice of Borrowing is received by Agent after 10:00 a.m., Central Time, on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day. Agent shall charge to the Revolving Loan Agent’s usual and customary fees for the wire transfer of each Loan to the Loan Account.

(b) Promptly following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.3, Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested borrowing. Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 p.m., Central Time, to the account of Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s share of such borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has made (or will make) such share available on such date in accordance with this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the interest rate applicable to such Revolving Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such borrowing.

-41-

2.4. Swingline Loans.

(a) Agent, Swingline Lender and the Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, promptly after Borrower Representative requests a Revolving Loan, the Swingline Lender may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.4 apply to such borrowing request by advancing, on behalf of the Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment and in the amount requested, same day funds to Borrowers (each such Loan made solely by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4 is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.4(c). Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Swingline Lender to, and Swingline Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written notice required), deliver the amount of the Swingline Loan requested to the applicable Funding Account (i) on the same day if the Notice of Borrowing is received by Agent on or before 10:00 a.m., Central Time, on a Business Day or (ii) on the immediately following Business Day if the Notice of Borrowing is received by Agent after 10:00 a.m., Central Time, on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day. The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $13,500,000. Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan if the requested Swingline Loan exceeds Excess Availability (before giving effect to such Swingline Loan).

(b) Upon the making of a Swingline Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan), each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan in proportion to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitment. The Swingline Lender may, at any time, require the applicable Lenders to fund their participations in any such Swingline Loan. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swingline Loan.

(c) Agent, on behalf of Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with respect to Swingline Loans with the Lenders holding a Revolving Loan Commitment on at least a weekly basis or on any date that Agent elects, by notifying the applicable Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 12:00 p.m., Central Time, on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each applicable Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m., Central Time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with such Swingline Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any applicable Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon.

-42-

2.5. Repayments.

(a) Revolving Loans. If at any time for any reason whatsoever (including as a result of currency fluctuations) (i) the outstanding balance of all Revolving Loans exceeds the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount and (y) the Borrowing Base, (ii) any of the Loan Limits for Revolving Loans are exceeded or (iii) Excess Availability is less than the Minimum Excess Availability Amount (unless the Loan Parties are in compliance with Section 9.1), then, in each case, Borrowers will immediately pay to Agent an amount equal to such excess or deficiency, as applicable.

(b) Maturity Date Payments. All remaining outstanding monetary Obligations (including all accrued and unpaid fees described in Section 3.2, the Agent Fee Letter or any other Loan Document) shall be Payable in Full on the Maturity Date.

2.6. Voluntary Termination of Loan Facilities. Borrower Representative may, on at least thirty (30) days prior written notice received by Agent, permanently terminate the Loan facilities by repaying all of the outstanding Obligations, including all principal, interest and fees with respect to the Revolving Loans, and an Early Termination Fee in the amount specified in Section 3.2(b). From and after such date of termination, neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to extend any additional Loans, and all of its lending commitments hereunder shall be terminated.

2.7. Obligations Unconditional.

(a) The payment and performance of all Obligations shall constitute the absolute and unconditional obligations of each Loan Party, and shall be independent of any defense or right of set-off, recoupment or counterclaim that any Loan Party or any other Person might otherwise have against Agent, any Lender or any other Person. All payments required by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars (unless payment in a different currency is expressly provided otherwise in the applicable Loan Document) and paid in cash free of any deductions or withholdings for any taxes or other amounts and without abatement, diminution or set-off. If any Loan Party is required by Applicable Law to make such a deduction or withholding from a payment under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, such Loan Party shall pay to Agent such additional amount as shall be necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Agent receives (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made. Each Loan Party shall (a) pay the full amount of any deduction or withholding that it is required to make by law, to the relevant authority within the payment period set by Applicable Law and (b) promptly after any such payment, deliver to Agent an original (or certified copy) official receipt issued by the relevant authority in respect of the amount withheld or deducted or, if the relevant authority does not issue such official receipts, such other evidence of payment of the amount withheld or deducted as is reasonably acceptable to Agent. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.7(a) and the provisions of Section 13 that relates to Taxes, the provisions of Section 13 shall control.

(b) If, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date (or at any time before or after the Closing Date with respect to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith), (a) any change in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (b) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or application thereof or (c) compliance by Agent with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency (i) subjects any Recipient to any Tax, levy, impost, deduction, assessment, charge or withholding of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Loan Document (except for (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes), or changes the basis of Taxation of payments to any Recipient of any

-43-

amount payable thereunder (except for changes in the rate of Tax on the overall net income of the applicable Recipient or its respective members) or (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of the Adjusted Term SOFR), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Agent or any Lender or imposes on Agent or any Lender any other condition affecting its SOFR Loans or its obligation to make SOFR Loans, the result of which is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) Agent or any Lender of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan or (iii) imposes on Agent or any Lender any other condition or increased cost in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or participations therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any Lender of making or continuing any Loan or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, then, in each such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay to Agent or such Lender, when notified to do so by Agent or such Lender, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Agent or such Lender, on an after-Tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount as determined by Agent or such Lender. Each such notice of additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) submitted by Agent or any Lender, as applicable, to Borrower Representative shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(c) This Section 2.7 shall remain operative even after the Termination Date and shall survive the Payment in Full of all of the Loans.

2.8. Reversal of Payments. To the extent that any payment or payments made to or received by Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any trustee, receiver or other Person under any state, federal or other bankruptcy or other such Applicable Law, then, to the extent thereof, such amounts (and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto) shall be revived as Obligations (secured by all such Liens) and continue in full force and effect under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents as if such payment or payments had not been received by Agent or such Lender. This Section 2.8 shall remain operative even after the Termination Date and shall survive the Payment in Full of all of the Loans.

2.9. Notes. The Loans and Commitments shall, at the request of any Lender, be evidenced by one or more promissory notes in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Lender. However, if such Loans are not so evidenced, such Loans may be evidenced solely by entries upon the books and records maintained by Agent.

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

(a) Unused Line Fees pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

(b) Any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of any Revolving Loan or other amount in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Agent, (iii) third, if so determined by Agent and Borrowers, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (iv) fourth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrowers or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its Obligations under this Agreement, and (v) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if such payment is made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

-44-

(c) No Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, consent or any other action the Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take hereunder, provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

2.11. Appointment of Borrower Representative.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Borrower Representative as its agent and attorney-in-fact to (i) request and receive Loans in the name or on behalf of such Borrower and any other Borrowers, (ii) deliver Notices of Borrowing, and Borrowing Base Calculations, (iii) give instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, (iv) give and receive all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and (v) take all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) in the name or on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent may disburse the Loans to such bank account of Borrower Representative or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower, in each case as Borrower Representative may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent may at any time and from time to time require that Loans to or for the account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an operating account of such Borrower.

(b) Borrower Representative hereby accepts the appointment by Borrowers to act as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.11. Borrower Representative shall ensure that the disbursement of any Loans that are at any time requested by or to be remitted to or for the account of a Borrower requested on behalf of a Borrower hereunder, shall be remitted or issued to or for the account of such Borrower.

(c) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Borrower Representative as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from Agent and Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(d) Any notice, election, representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or undertaking made or delivered by or on behalf of any Borrower by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made or delivered by such Borrower, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if made or delivered directly by such Borrower.

(e) No resignation by or termination of the appointment of Borrower Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact as aforesaid shall be effective, except after ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent. If the Borrower Representative resigns under this Agreement, Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint a successor Borrower Representative (which shall be a Borrower and shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent as such successor Borrower Representative). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Borrower Representative hereunder, such successor Borrower Representative shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the resigning Borrower Representative and the term “Borrower Representative” shall mean such successor Borrower Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the resigning or terminated Borrower Representative’s appointment, powers and duties as Borrower Representative shall be thereupon terminated.

-45-

2.12. Joint and Several Liability

(a) Joint and Several. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for the full and prompt payment in cash (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Agent and Lenders by each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its obligation hereunder shall not be discharged until Payment in Full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 2.8 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by,

(i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Loan Party is or may become a party;

(ii) the absence or delay of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 2.8) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Agent or any Lender with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

(iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect Agent’s Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

(iv) the insolvency of any Loan Party or Other Obligor; or

(v) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

(b) Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations against any other Loan Party or Other Obligor, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 2.8(b) and such waivers, Agent and Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.

(c) Benefit of Joint and Several Obligations. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.8 are for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and their successors, transferees, endorsees and permitted assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower, Agent and any Lender, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.

(d) Subordination of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, each Loan Party hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor with respect to any other Loan Party or any Other Obligor until the Obligations are Paid in Full. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 2.8, and that Agent and Lenders and their successors and permitted assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 2.8(d).

-46-

(e) Election of Remedies. If Agent may, under Applicable Law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Agent a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Agent may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 2.8. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Agent shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Agent and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent.

(f) Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.

(i) To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 2.8 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following Payment in Full (but in no event prior to Payment in Full), such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

(ii) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 2.8(f) without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

(iii) This Section 2.8(f) is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 2.8(f) is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.8(a). Nothing contained in this Section 2.8(f) shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

(iv) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of each Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(v) The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Loan Parties under this Section 2.8(f) shall be exercisable upon the Payment in Full.

-47-

(g) Liability Cumulative. The liability of Borrowers and each other Loan Parties under this Section 2.8 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower and each other Loan Party to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower or such other Loan Party is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

(h) Foreclosed Loan Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Loan Party may exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any other Loan Party (the “Foreclosed Loan Party”), including after Payment in Full of the Obligations and the occurrence of the Termination Date, if all or any portion of the Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Equity Interests of such Foreclosed Loan Party whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

3. INTEREST AND FEES; LOAN ACCOUNT.

3.1. Interest. All Loans and other monetary Obligations shall bear interest at the interest rate(s) set forth in Section 2 of Annex I, and accrued interest shall be payable (a) on the first day of each month in arrears, (b) upon a prepayment of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.6 and (c) on the Maturity Date; provided, that after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all Loans and other monetary Obligations may, at the option of Agent or the discretion of the Required Lenders (or, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 11.1(g) or Section 11.1(h), without notice, demand or other action by Agent or any Lender, shall), bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”), and all such interest shall be payable on demand. Changes in the interest rate shall be effective as of the first day of each month, based on the Adjusted Term SOFR or Base Rate, as applicable, in effect on such date. Subject to Section 3.6 and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Loans shall constitute SOFR Loans. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of Agent or Required Lenders (or, automatically upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 11.1(g) or Section 11.1(h), without notice, demand or other action by Agent or any Lender), all Loans shall constitute Base Rate Loans. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the Adjusted Term SOFR.

3.2. Fees. Borrowers shall pay Agent the following fees on the dates provided therefor, which fees are in addition to all fees and other sums payable by Borrowers or any other Person to Agent under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document (including the Agent Fee Letter):

(a) Unused Line Fee. A monthly unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”), for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, equal to 0.50% per annum of the amount by which (i) the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount, exceeds (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans calculated daily (using the end of day amount) during the immediately preceding month (or part thereof). The Unused Line Fee shall be fully earned as it accrues and shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month until the Termination Date.

-48-

(b) Early Termination Fee.

(i) If, before the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Revolving Loan Commitment is reduced or terminated for any reason (including any voluntary, mandatory or automatic reduction or termination, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, and including by reason of acceleration, automatic acceleration or otherwise), in each case pursuant to Section 2.6, Section 11.2 or otherwise, then in each such case, in addition to any required payment of principal and unpaid accrued interest and other amounts due thereon, Borrowers immediately shall be required to pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a premium (each, an “Early Termination Fee”) (as liquidated damages and compensation for the cost of the Lenders being prepared to make funds available under the Revolving Loan Commitment during the scheduled term of this Agreement) in an amount equal to the Early Termination Fee Percentage (as defined below) of the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment or portion thereof so reduced or terminated. The “Early Termination Fee Percentage” shall be (A) 3.00%, if such event occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (B) 2.00%, if such event occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, but on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date or (C) 1.00%, if such event occurs after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, but on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that no Early Termination Fee shall be due for any voluntary termination occurring during the sixty (60) day period immediately preceding the Scheduled Maturity Date, so long as the Borrower Representative provides Agent thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such voluntary termination.

(ii) The Early Termination Fee shall be calculated, earned and due and payable on and as of the date of the applicable reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment.

(iii) The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Lenders will have suffered damages on account of any of the foregoing events and that, in view of the difficulty in ascertaining the amount of such damages, the Early Termination Fee constitutes reasonable compensation and liquidated damages to compensate the Lenders on account thereof, and (B) payment of the Early Termination Fee due hereunder is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING EARLY TERMINATION FEES, INCLUDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACCELERATION AND TERMINATION OF THE REVOLVING LOAN COMMITMENT, INCLUDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION AND THE TERMINATION OF THE REVOLVING LOAN COMMITMENT AS A RESULT OF ANY BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY PROCEEDING OR OTHER PROCEEDING PURSUANT TO ANY DEBTOR RELIEF LAWS OR PURSUANT TO A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION. Each of the Loan Parties hereby expressly agrees that: (w) the Early Termination Fee is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (x) the Early Termination Fee shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (y) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Early Termination Fee subject to the terms hereof; and (z) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Loan Parties hereby expressly acknowledges that the agreement to pay the Early Termination Fee as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

3.3. Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest and fees shall be calculated daily on the outstanding monetary Obligations based on the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

3.4. Loan Account; Monthly Accountings. Agent shall maintain a loan account for Borrowers reflecting all outstanding Loans, along with interest accrued thereon and such other items reflected therein (the “Loan Account”), and shall provide Borrower Representative with a monthly accounting reflecting the activity in the Loan Account, viewable by Borrowers on ABLSoft. Each accounting shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on Borrowers and an account stated (except for reverses and reapplications of payments made and corrections of errors discovered by Agent), unless Borrower Representative notifies Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty days after such account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or omissions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent’s failure to maintain the Loan Account or to provide any such accounting shall not affect the legality or binding nature of any of the Obligations. Interest, fees and other monetary Obligations due and owing under this Agreement may, in Agent’s discretion, be charged to the Loan Account, and will thereafter be deemed to be Revolving Loans and will bear interest at the same rate as other Revolving Loans.

-49-

3.5. Further Obligations; Maximum Lawful Rate. With respect to all monetary Obligations for which the interest rate is not otherwise specified herein (whether such Obligations arise hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or otherwise), such Obligations shall bear interest at the rate(s) in effect from time to time with respect to the Revolving Loans and shall be payable upon demand by Agent. In no event shall the interest charged with respect to any Loan or any other Obligation exceed the maximum amount permitted under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest payable or other amounts hereunder or under any other Loan Document (the “Stated Rate”) would exceed the highest rate of interest or other amount permitted under any Applicable Law to be charged (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest and other amounts payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, continue to pay interest and such other amounts at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest and other such amounts received is equal to the total interest and other such amounts which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable or such other amounts payable. Thereafter, the interest rate and such other amounts payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest or other such amounts received by Agent exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest and other such amounts been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, Agent has received interest or other such amounts hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans or to other Obligations (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other Obligations are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrowers. In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.

3.6. Certain Provisions Regarding SOFR Loans; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Inadequate or Unfair Basis. If Agent or any Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank market or otherwise, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Term SOFR, then Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower Representative (and Agent, if applicable) thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) Agent and/or such Lender shall be under no obligation to make any SOFR Loans and (ii) on the last day of the current calendar month, each SOFR Loan shall, unless then Paid in Full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.

(b) Change in Law. If, after the Closing Date, any change in, or the adoption of any new, law, treaty or regulation, or any change in the interpretation of any Applicable Law or regulation by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, would make it (or in the good faith judgment of Agent or the applicable Lender cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for Agent or such Lender to make, maintain or fund SOFR Loans, then Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) Agent or such Lender shall have no obligation to make any SOFR Loan and (ii) on the last day of the current calendar month for each SOFR Loan (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such SOFR Loan shall, unless then Paid in Full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.

-50-

(c) Replacement of Lenders. If any Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(b), or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in Section 2.7(b), or if Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, Borrowers may designate another Person engaged in the making of commercial loans in the ordinary course of business which is acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion (such other Person being called a “Replacement Lender”) to purchase the Loans and Commitments of such Lender and such Lender’s rights hereunder, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Lender and any other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and to assume all the obligations of such Lender hereunder, and, upon such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption), such Lender 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 Lender prior to the date of such purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to Borrowers hereunder, and the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder.

(d) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement.

(A) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Agent and Borrower Representative may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and Borrower Representative so long as Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.6(d) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(B) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Agent will promptly notify Borrower Representative of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.6(d)(i)(D). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.6(d), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.6(d).

-51-

(D) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (1) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then Agent may modify the definition of “Term SOFR” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (2) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (1) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Agent may modify the definition of “Term SOFR” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(E) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower Representative’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (1) Borrower Representative may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Borrower Representative will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (2) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable calendar month. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an available tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(ii) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at Adjusted Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Reference Rate.

3.7. Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Agent will have the right, in consultation to Borrower Representative, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Agent will promptly notify Borrower Representative and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

For purposes of determining the Borrowing Base, such amounts will be credited to the Loan Account and reduce gross Accounts in the Borrowing Base Calculation upon Agent’s receipt of an advice from Agent’s Bank (set forth in Section 4 of Annex I) that such items have been credited to Agent’s account at Agent’s Bank (or upon Agent’s deposit thereof at Agent’s Bank in the case of payments received by Agent in kind), in each case subject to final payment and collection.

Agent or its designee may, from time to time: (a) whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred, upon two (2) Business Days’ notice to the Borrower Representative and, other than when an Event of Default is continuing, while representatives of the Borrower Representative are present (to the extent Borrower Representative elects to be present for such verification after receiving notice that such verification will occur), verify directly with the Account Debtors of the Loan Parties (or by any manner and through any medium Agent considers advisable in its Permitted Discretion in consultation with the Borrower) the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts and Chattel Paper of the Loan Parties, by means of customer portal and/or through email initiated by the Company (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), in the name of the applicable Loan Party or in the name of Agent or such other name as Agent may choose, selected in its Permitted Discretion in consultation with the Borrower; (b) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, notify Account Debtors of the Loan Parties that Agent has a security interest in the Accounts of the Loan Parties; each such notification to be sent on the letterhead of such Loan Party and substantially in the form of Exhibit E annexed hereto; and (c) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, demand, collect or enforce payment of any Accounts and Chattel Paper (but without any duty to do so) and, in furtherance of the foregoing, each Loan Party hereby authorizes Account Debtors to make payments directly to Agent and to rely on notice from Agent without further inquiry. Agent may on behalf of each Loan Party endorse all items of payment received by Agent that are payable to such Loan Party for the purposes described above.

6.4. Power of Attorney. Without limiting any of Agent’s and the other Lenders’ other rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including Section 11.3), effective as of the Closing Date through the Termination Date, each Loan Party hereby grants to Agent an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, authorizing and permitting Agent (acting through any of its officers, employees, attorneys or agents), at Agent’s option but without obligation, with or without notice to such Loan Party, and at each Loan Party’s expense, to do any or all of the following, in such Loan Party’s name or otherwise:

(a) at any time, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) execute on behalf of such Loan Party any documents that Agent may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable in order to perfect, protect and maintain Agent’s security interests, and priority thereof, in the Collateral and to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including such Financing Statements and continuation Financing Statements, and amendments or other modifications thereto, as Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate) and to notify Account Debtors of the Loan Parties in the manner contemplated by Section 6.3, (ii) endorse such Loan Party’s name on all checks and other forms of remittances received by Agent, (iii) pay any sums required on account of such Loan Party’s Taxes or to secure the release of any Liens therefor, (iv) pay any amounts necessary to obtain, or maintain in effect, any of the insurance described in Section 7.14, (v) receive and otherwise take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or Proceeds of Collateral, (vi) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Loan Party at any post office box or lockbox maintained by Agent for such Loan Party or at any other business premises of Agent and (vii) endorse or assign to Agent on such Loan Party’s behalf any portion of Collateral evidenced by an agreement, Instrument or Document if an endorsement or assignment of any such items is not made by such Loan Party pursuant to Section 5.2; and

Each Loan Party agrees that Agent’s rights under the foregoing power of attorney and any of Agent’s other rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall not be construed to indicate that Agent or any Lender is in control of the business, management or properties of any Loan Party. The foregoing power of attorney shall not be revocable and shall have a duration from the Closing Date until the date the Obligations have been Paid in Full.

6.5. Disputes. Each Loan Party shall promptly notify Agent of all disputes or claims relating to its Accounts and Chattel Paper. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not, without Agent’s prior written consent, compromise or settle any of its Accounts or Chattel Paper for less than the full amount thereof, grant any extension of time for payment of any of its Accounts or Chattel Paper, release (in whole or in part) any Account Debtor or other person liable for the payment of any of its Accounts or Chattel Paper or grant any credits, discounts, allowances, deductions, return authorizations or the like with respect to any of its Accounts or Chattel Paper; except (unless otherwise directed by Agent during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default) such Loan Party may take any of such actions in the Ordinary Course of Business consistent with past practices; provided that Borrower Representative promptly reports the same to Agent.

6.6. Invoices. At Agent’s request, each Loan Party will cause all invoices and statements that it sends to Account Debtors or other third parties to be marked and authenticated, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to reflect Agent’s security interest therein and payment instructions (including, but not limited to, in a manner to meet the requirements of Section 9-404(a)(2) of the UCC).

7. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

To induce Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, each Loan Party represents, warrants and covenants as follows (it being understood and agreed that (a) each such representation and warranty (i) will be made as of the date hereof and be deemed remade as of each date on which any Loan is made (except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates only to any earlier or specified date, in which case such representation or warranty will be made as of such earlier or specified date) and (ii) shall not be affected by any knowledge of, or any investigation by, Agent or any Lender and (b) each such covenant shall continuously apply with respect to all times commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the Termination Date):

-58-

7.1. Existence and Authority. Each Loan Party is (a) duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization (which jurisdiction is identified in Section 1(a) of the Perfection Certificate) and (b) is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the operation of its business requires that it be qualified (which each such jurisdiction is identified in Section 1(a) of the Perfection Certificate), except with respect to this clause (b), where the failure to qualify, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to enter into the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party have been duly and validly authorized, (a) do not violate (i) such Loan Party’s Governing Documents (ii) any Applicable Law, except, with respect to this clause (ii), where any such violation, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) any Material Contract to which a Loan Party is a party or by which a Loan Party or any of its property is bound or (iv) any court order which is binding upon any Loan Party or its property, (b) do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any Indebtedness or obligation under any contract which is binding upon any Loan Party or its property, and (c) do not require the consent of any Person which has not yet been obtained, except, with respect to this clause (c), where the failure to obtain such consent, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party shall preserve and maintain all of its leases, licenses, permits, franchises qualifications, and rights that are necessary and desirable in the Ordinary Course of Business, except where the failure so maintain, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party is required to obtain any government approval, consent, or authorization from, or to file any declaration or statement with, any Governmental Authority in connection with or as a condition to the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Loan Documents, except for any approvals, consents, authorizations or fillings that have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect on the Closing Date. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by, and are enforceable against, each of the Loan Parties who have signed them, in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Section 1(f) of the Perfection Certificate sets forth the ownership of each Loan Party and their Subsidiaries (and specifically identifies as an “Excluded Subsidiary” any Subsidiary that shall be an Excluded Subsidiary under this Agreement).

7.2. Names; Trade Names and Styles. The name, type of entity and location of organization of each Loan Party set forth on Section 1(b) of the Perfection Certificate is its correct and complete legal name as of the date hereof, and no Loan Party has used any other name at any time in the past five years, or at any time will use any other name, in any tax filing made in any jurisdiction. Listed in Section 1(b) of the Perfection Certificate are all prior names used by each Loan Party at any time in the past five years and all of the present and prior trade names used by any Loan Party at any time in the past five years. Borrower Representative shall give Agent at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (and will deliver an updated Section 1(b) of the Perfection Certificate to reflect the same) before it or any other Loan Party changes its legal name or does business under any other name.

7.3. Title to Collateral; Third Party Locations; Permitted Liens. Each Loan Party has, and at all times will continue to have, good and legal title to all of the Collateral necessary for the conduct of its business. The Collateral now is, and at all times will remain, free and clear of any and all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. Agent now has, and will at all times continue to have, a first priority perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral (for the avoidance of doubt, other than any Excluded Collateral), subject only to the Permitted Liens, and each Loan Party will at all times defend Agent and the Collateral against all claims of others. None of the Collateral which is Equipment is, or will at any time, be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Agent may establish a rent or other similar Reserve satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion with respect to leases or subleases as to which Borrowers has not delivered to Agent a Collateral Access Agreement (unless

-59-

waived by Agent) with respect to any Loan Party being a lessee or sublessee under any real property lease or sublease. Except for warehouses as to which Borrowers have delivered to Agent a Collateral Access Agreement (unless waived by Agent; provided, that such waiver may be conditioned upon Agent establishing a rent or other similar Reserve satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion), no Loan Party is or will at any time be a bailor of any Goods at any warehouse or otherwise. Prior to causing or permitting any Collateral to at any time be located upon premises in which any third party (including any landlord, consignee, warehouseman, or otherwise) has an interest, Borrower Representative shall notify Agent and the applicable Loan Party shall cause each such third party to execute and deliver to Agent a Collateral Access Agreement (unless waived by Agent; provided, that such waiver may be conditioned upon Agent establishing a rent or other similar Reserve satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion). Each applicable Loan Party will keep at all times in full force and effect, and will comply at all times in all material respects with the terms of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located subject to Permitted Protests.

7.4. Accounts and Chattel Paper. As of each date reported by Borrowers, all Accounts which any Borrower has then reported to Agent as then being Eligible Accounts comply with the criteria for eligibility set forth in the respective definition of Eligible Billed Accounts and Eligible Unbilled Accounts. All such Accounts, and all Chattel Paper owned by any Loan Party, are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be, arise out of a completed, bona fide and unconditional and non-contingent sale and delivery of goods or rendition of services by a Borrower in the Ordinary Course of Business and in accordance with the terms and conditions of all purchase orders, contracts or other documents relating thereto, each Account Debtor thereunder had the capacity to contract at the time any contract or other document giving rise to such Accounts and Chattel Paper were executed, and the transactions giving rise to such Accounts and Chattel Paper comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws and governmental rules and regulations.

7.5. Electronic Chattel Paper. To the extent that any Loan Party obtains or maintains any Electronic Chattel Paper, such Loan Party shall at all times create, store and assign the record or records comprising the Electronic Chattel Paper in such a manner that (a) a single authoritative copy of the record or records exists which is unique, identifiable and except as otherwise provided below, unalterable, (b) the authoritative copy identifies Agent as the assignee of the record or records, (c) the authoritative copy is communicated to and maintained by Agent or its designated custodian, (d) copies or revisions that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy can only be made with the participation of Agent, (e) each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy and (f) any revision of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision.

(b) None of the Pledged Equity has been issued or otherwise transferred in violation in any material respect of the Securities Act, or other Applicable Laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject. The Pledged Equity pledged by each Loan Party hereunder constitutes all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each Issuer owned by such Loan Party.

-60-

(c) All of the Pledged Equity has been duly and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable, and the holders thereof are not entitled to any preemptive, first refusal or other similar rights. There are no outstanding options, warrants or similar agreements, documents, or instruments with respect to any of the Pledged Equity.

(d) Each Loan Party has caused each Issuer to amend or otherwise modify its Governing Documents, books, records, and related agreements, documents and instruments, as applicable, to reflect the rights and interests of Agent hereunder, and to the extent required to enable and empower Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Pledged Equity and other Investment Property.

(e) Each Loan Party will take any and all actions reasonably required or requested by Agent, from time to time, to (i) cause Agent to obtain exclusive control of any Investment Property in a manner reasonably acceptable to Agent and (ii) obtain from any Issuers and such other Persons as Agent shall specify, for the benefit of Agent, written confirmation of Agent’s exclusive control over such Investment Property and take such other actions as Agent may request to perfect Agent’s security interest in any Investment Property. For purposes of this Section 7.6, Agent shall have exclusive control of Investment Property if (A) pursuant to Section 5.2, such Investment Property consists of certificated securities and the applicable Loan Party delivers such certificated securities to Agent (with all appropriate endorsements), (B) such Investment Property consists of uncertificated securities and either (x) the applicable Loan Party delivers such uncertificated securities to Agent or (y) the Issuer thereof agrees, pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, that it will comply with instructions originated by Agent without further consent by the applicable Loan Party and (C) such Investment Property consists of security entitlements and either (x) Agent becomes the entitlement holder thereof or (y) the appropriate securities intermediary agrees, pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, that it will comply with entitlement orders originated by Agent without further consent by the applicable Loan Party.

(f) No Loan Party owns, or has any present intention of acquiring, any “margin security” or any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the FRB (herein called “margin security” and “margin stock”). None of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry, any margin security or margin stock or for any other purpose which might constitute the transactions contemplated hereby a “purpose credit” within the meaning of said Regulations T, U or X, or cause this Agreement to violate any other regulation of the FRB or the Exchange Act, or any rules or regulations promulgated under such statutes.

(g) No Loan Party shall vote to enable, or take any other action to cause or to permit, any Issuer to issue any Equity Interests of any nature, or to issue any other securities or interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any Equity Interests of any nature of any Issuer (other than to another Loan Party or, in the case of Parent, the Sponsor).

(h) No Loan Party shall take, or fail to take, any action that would in any manner impair the enforceability of Agent’s Lien on any of the Investment Property, or any of Agent’s rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to any of the Investment Property.

(i) In the case of any Loan Party which is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that the terms of Section 11.3(g)(iii) shall apply to such Loan Party with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to such Section 11.3(g)(iii) regarding the Investment Property issued by it.

-61-

(a) No Loan Party has any Commercial Tort Claims pending as of the Closing Date other than those listed in Section 2 of the Perfection Certificate, and each Loan Party shall promptly (but in any case, no later than five Business Days thereafter) notify Agent in writing upon incurring or otherwise obtaining a Commercial Tort Claim after the Closing Date against any third party with a value reasonably expected to exceed $500,000 or in the aggregate to exceed $1,000,000. Such notice shall constitute such Loan Party’s authorization to amend such Section 2 to add such Commercial Tort Claim and shall automatically be deemed to amend such Section 2 to include such Commercial Tort Claim.

(b) No Loan Party has any Letter-of-Credit Rights as of the Closing Date other than those listed in Section 8 of the Perfection Certificate, and each Loan Party shall promptly (but in any case, no later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter) notify Agent in writing upon acquiring any Letter-of-Credit Rights after the Closing Date with a stated amount of $500,000 or more individually or $1,000,000 in the aggregate, and, at the request of Agent, such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after Agent’s request (or such longer period as Agent may agree in its discretion)) either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of the applicable letter of credit to consent to an assignment to Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under such letter of credit or (ii) arrange for Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such letter of credit, with Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be applied as provided in this Agreement.

No Collateral is located outside the United States or in the possession of any lessor, bailee, warehouseman or consignee, except as expressly indicated in Sections 1(c) and 1(d) of the Perfection Certificate or to the extent having a value of less than $500,000. Each Loan Party will give Agent at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice before changing its jurisdiction of organization, opening any additional place of business, changing its chief executive office or the location of its books and records, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than one of the locations set forth in Sections 1(c) and 1(d) of the Perfection Certificate, and will execute and deliver all Financing Statements, Collateral Access Agreement, mortgages, and all other agreements, instruments and documents which Agent shall require in connection therewith prior to making such change, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

7.9. Financial Statements and Reports; Solvency.

(a) All financial statements delivered to Agent and Lenders by or on behalf of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis have been, and at all times will be, prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly reflect in all material respects the financial condition of each Loan Party and Subsidiary covered thereby on a consolidated basis, at the times and for the periods therein stated, subject, if applicable, to changes resulting from audit and year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

-62-

(b) As of the date hereof (after giving effect to the Loans to be made on the date hereof, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby), and as of each other day that any Loan is made (after giving effect to the making thereof and the use of the proceeds thereof), (i) the fair saleable value of all of the assets and properties of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, exceeds the aggregate liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, (ii) the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries have not incurred and do not intend to incur debts (including current obligations) beyond the Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries; ability to pay such debts as they become due in the ordinary course of business, (iii) Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, have sufficient capital to carry on their business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, (iv) no Loan Party is contemplating either the liquidation of all or any substantial portion of its assets or property, or the filing of any petition under any state, federal, or other bankruptcy or insolvency law and (v) no Loan Party has knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against any Loan Party.

(c) Promptly following the consummation thereof, the Borrower Representative will deliver to Agent notice of any amendment, waiver, supplement, or other modification of any Mizzen Subordinated Loan Document, together with a duly executed complete copy thereof (this clause (c) not being in derogation of the prior consent rights of Agent set forth in the ABL / Mizzen Intercreditor Agreement with respect to such amendments, waivers, supplements, or other modifications).

7.10. Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary has timely filed all material tax returns and reports required by Applicable Law, has timely paid all material applicable Taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owing by such Loan Party or Subsidiary and will timely pay all such material items in the future as they became due and payable. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary may, however, defer payment of any contested Taxes pursuant to a Permitted Protest; provided, that if the amount of Taxes at issue in such Permitted Protest is in excess of $250,000, such Loan Party or Subsidiary (a) notifies Agent in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings and (b) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to keep the contested Taxes from becoming a Lien upon any of the Collateral. No Loan Party is aware of any material claims or adjustments proposed for any prior tax years that could result in material additional taxes becoming due and payable by any Loan Party or Subsidiary. Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with, and has been operated in accordance with, the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Applicable Laws. Each Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter or opinion 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 each Loan Party, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status. There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate in excess of $1,000,000 of any Loan Party or Subsidiary. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate of any Loan Party or Subsidiary in excess of $100,000. No ERISA Event has occurred, and no Loan Party is aware of any fact, event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA Event with respect to any Pension Plan, in each case that could reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate in excess of $1,000,000. Each Loan Party, Subsidiary and ERISA Affiliate has met all applicable requirements under the Pension Funding Rules in respect of each Pension Plan, and no waiver of the minimum funding standards under the Pension Funding Rules has been applied for or obtained, in each case except as could not reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate to the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries in excess of $1,000,000. As of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan,

-63-

the funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is 60.00% or higher and no Loan Party knows of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage for any such plan to drop below 60.00% as of the most recent valuation date. No Loan Party, Subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become due that are unpaid, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate to the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries in excess of $1,000,000. No Loan Party, Subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA except as could not reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate to the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries in excess of $1,000,000. No Pension Plan has been terminated by the plan administrator thereof or by the PBGC, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to cause the PBGC to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate any Pension Plan, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate to the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries in excess of $1,000,000.

7.11. Compliance with Laws; Intellectual Property; Licenses.

(a) Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary has complied, and will continue at all times to comply, in all material respects with all provisions of all Applicable Laws and regulations, including those relating to the ownership of real or personal property, the conduct and licensing of each Loan Party’s and each Subsidiary’s business, the payment and withholding of Taxes, ERISA and other employee matters, and safety and Environmental Laws.

(b) No Loan Party or Subsidiary has received written notice of default or violation, or is in default or violation, with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, demand or assessment issued by any court or any federal, state, local, municipal or other Governmental Authority relating to any aspect of any Loan Party’s or Subsidiary’s business, affairs, properties or assets. No Loan Party or Subsidiary has received written notice of or been charged with, or is, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, under investigation with respect to, any violation in any material respect of any provision of any Applicable Law.

(c) No Loan Party owns any registrations or applications for registration of Intellectual Property at the USPTO or USCO, except as set forth in Section 4 of the Perfection Certificate. Each Loan Party shall promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter) notify Agent in writing of any additional registered or pending Intellectual Property rights acquired or arising after the Closing Date and shall submit to Agent a supplement to Section 4 of the Perfection Certificate to reflect such additional rights; provided that such Loan Party’s failure to do so shall not impair Agent’s security interest therein. Each Loan Party shall execute a separate security agreement granting Agent a security interest in such Intellectual Property (whether owned on the Closing Date or thereafter), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent and suitable for registering such security interest in such Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or United States Copyright Office, as applicable; provided that such Loan Party’s failure to do so shall not impair Agent’s security interest therein. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary owns or has, and will at all times continue to own or have, the valid right to use all material patents, trademarks, copyrights, software, computer programs, equipment designs, network designs, equipment configurations, technology and other Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of such Loan Party’s or Subsidiary’s business, and each Loan Party and each Subsidiary is in compliance, and will continue at all times to comply, in all material respects with all licenses, user agreements and other such agreements regarding the use of Intellectual Property. No Loan Party has any knowledge that, or has received any written notice claiming that, any of such Intellectual Property materially infringes upon or violates the rights of any other Person. To any Loan Party’s knowledge, no licensed third party Intellectual Property is necessary for Agent to exercise its rights to enforce Agent’s Liens with respect to the Collateral, including the right to dispose of it, during the existence of an Event of Default.

-64-

(d) Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary has and will continue at all times to have, all federal, state, local and other licenses and permits required to be maintained in connection with such Loan Party’s or Subsidiary business operations, and all such licenses and permits are valid and in full force and effect, except for any licenses or permits the failure of which to maintain or be in full force and effect, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary has, and will continue at all times to have, complied with the requirements of such licenses and permits in all material respects, and has received no written notice of any pending or threatened proceedings for the suspension, termination, revocation or limitation thereof. No Loan Party is aware of any facts or conditions that could reasonably be expected to cause or permit any of such licenses or permits to be voided, revoked or withdrawn.

(i) Sale, Lease, etc. of Collateral. Agent may, without demand, advertising or notice, all of which each Loan Party hereby waives (except as the same may be required by the UCC or other Applicable Law and is not waivable under the UCC or such other Applicable Law), at any time or times in one or more public or private sales or other dispositions, for cash, on credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as determined by Agent (provided such price and terms are commercially reasonable within the meaning of the UCC to the extent such sale or other disposition is subject to the UCC requirements that such sale or other disposition must be commercially reasonable), (A) sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral and/or (B) deliver and grant options to a third party to purchase, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral. Agent may sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in its then-present condition or following any preparation or processing deemed necessary by Agent in its reasonable discretion.

(iii) In order to further effect the foregoing transfer of rights in favor of Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of Investment Property pledged by such Loan Party to comply with any instruction received by such Issuer from Agent without any other or further instruction from such Loan Party, and each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and to pay any dividends, distributions, or other payments with respect to any of the Investment Property directly to Agent.

(iv) Upon exercise of the proxy set forth herein, all prior proxies given by any Loan Party with respect to any of the Pledged Equity or other Investment Property, other than to Agent, are hereby revoked, and no subsequent proxies, other than to Agent will be given with respect to any of the Pledged Equity or any of the other Investment Property unless Agent otherwise subsequently agrees in writing. Agent, as proxy, will be empowered and may exercise the irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Equity and the other Investment Property at any and all times during the existence of an Event of Default, including, at any meeting of shareholders or members, as the case may be, however called, and at any adjournment thereof, or in any action by written consent, and may waive any notice otherwise required in connection therewith. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Agent shall have no agency, fiduciary or other implied duties to any Loan Party, any Issuer, any Loan Party or any other Person when acting in its capacity as such proxy or attorney-in-fact. Each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may otherwise have against Agent with respect to any breach, or alleged breach, of any such agency, fiduciary or other duty.

-88-

(v) Any transfer to Agent or its nominee, or registration in the name of Agent or its nominee, of the whole or any part of the Investment Property shall be made solely for purposes of effectuating voting or other consensual rights with respect to the Investment Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and is not intended to effectuate any transfer of ownership of any of the Investment Property. Notwithstanding the delivery by Agent of any instruction to any Issuer or any exercise by Agent of an irrevocable proxy or otherwise, Agent shall not be deemed the owner of, or assume any obligations or any liabilities whatsoever of the owner or holder of, any Investment Property unless and until Agent expressly accepts such obligations in a duly authorized and executed writing and agrees in writing to become bound by the applicable Governing Documents or otherwise becomes the owner thereof under Applicable Law (including through a sale as described in Section 11.3(f)). The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not subject Agent to, or transfer or pass to Agent, or in any way affect or modify, the liability of any Loan Party under the Governing Documents of any Issuer or any related agreements, documents, or instruments or otherwise. In no event shall the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Agent, or the exercise by Agent of any rights hereunder or assigned hereby, constitute an assumption of any liability or obligation whatsoever of any Loan Party to, under, or in connection with any of the Governing Documents of any Issuer or any related agreements, documents, or instruments or otherwise.

(vi) Compliance with the Securities Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended, or any similar statute hereafter adopted with similar purpose or effect, as well as any applicable “Blue Sky” or other state securities laws, if applicable to the Collateral or the portion thereof being sold, may require strict limitations as to the manner in which Agent or any subsequent transferee may dispose of the Collateral. With respect to any disposition as to which the Securities Act or analogous state securities laws is applicable, each Loan Party hereby waives any objection to sale in a compliant manner, and agrees that Agent has no obligation to obtain the maximum possible price for the Collateral so long as Agent proceeds in a commercially reasonable manner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party agrees that in conducting a disposition of the Collateral as to which the Securities Act or analogous state securities laws applies, Agent may seek to sell the Collateral by private placement, and may restrict bidders and prospective purchasers to those who are willing to represent that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution and who otherwise satisfy qualifications designed to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and analogous state securities laws and those that may be established in the Issuer’s Governing Documents. Each Loan Party acknowledges that in order to protect Agent’s interest, it may be necessary to sell the Collateral at a price less than the maximum price attainable if a sale were delayed or were made in another manner, including, a public offering under the Securities Act. In order to address these potential compliance requirements, Agent may solicit offers to purchase the Collateral from a limited number of bidders reasonably believed by Agent to be institutional investors or accredited investor s. If Agent solicits offers in a commercially reasonable manner, then acceptance by Agent of one or more of the offers shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of the Collateral and Agent will not be responsible or liable for selling all or any portion of the Collateral at a price that Agent deems in good faith to be reasonab le. Agent is under no obligation to delay a disposition of any portion of the Collateral that are securities under the Securities Act or applicable “Blue Sky” or other state securities law for the period of time necessary to permit any Loan Party or the Issuer to register the securities for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable “Blue Sky” or other state securities laws, even if a Loan Party or the Issuer agrees to do so. In addition, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any right to prior notice (except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement) or judicial hearing in connection with the taking possession or the disposition of any of the Collateral, including any right which Loan Party otherwise would have.

-89-

(vii) To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Agent is not required to conduct any foreclosure sale of the Investment Property or any portion thereof.

(viii) Agent, at its option, may obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of the Investment Property and, at the option of Agent, a receiver may be empowered (A) to collect, receive and enforce all distributions, (B) to exercise the rights of Agent as provided in this Agreement, (C) to collect all other amounts owed to any Loan Party in respect of the Investment Property as and when due to any Loan Party, (D) to otherwise collect, sell or dispose of the Investment Property, (E) to exercise all rights in and under the Investment Property; and (F) to turn over all net proceeds to Agent. Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that a receiver may be appointed by a court to take the actions listed above without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, and the actions of the receiver may be taken in the name of the receiver, any Loan Party or Agent.

(ix) Agent may elect to conduct a sale of an economic interest in any Investment Property constituting limited liability company interests that does not result in the purchaser being admitted as a substitute limited liability company member in the Issuer, and that any sale or dispositions made in good faith will be considered commercially reasonable, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the purchaser were able to be admitted as a substitute limited liability company member rather than the holder of only an economic interest in the Issuer.

(x) Agent may disclose to prospective purchasers all of the information relating to the Investment Property (and the applicable Issuer) that is in Agent’s possession or otherwise available to Agent.

(xi) Each Loan Party hereby authorizes and instructs their respective Issuer to comply with any instruction received by it from Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of the provisions of this Agreement as to Investment Property, without any other or further instructions from the respective Loan Party, and such Loan Party agrees that Issuer be fully protected in so complying.

(h) Election of Remedies. Agent shall have the right in Agent’s sole discretion to determine which rights, security, Liens or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, foreclose upon, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect to, without in any way impairing, modifying or affecting any of Agent’s other rights, security, Liens or remedies with respect to any Collateral or any of Agent’s rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(i) Agent’s Obligations. Each Loan Party agrees that Agent shall not have any obligation to preserve rights to any Collateral against prior parties or to marshal any Collateral of any kind for the benefit of any other creditor of any Loan Party or any other Person. Agent shall not be responsible to any Loan Party or any other Person for loss or damage resulting from Agent’s failure to enforce its Liens or collect any Collateral or proceeds or any monies due or to become due under the Obligations or any other liability or obligation of any Loan Party to Agent.

-90-

(j) Waiver of Rights by Loan Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement or by non-waivable Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives (i) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which any Loan Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Agent may do in this regard, (ii) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Agent’s taking possession or control of, or to Agent’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, the Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any of its remedies and (iii) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal, marshaling and exemption laws. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral is required under Applicable Law, each Loan Party agrees that ten (10) calendar days prior notice of the time and place of any public sale and of the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made is commercially reasonable.

12. LOAN GUARANTY.

12.1. Guaranty. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guaranties to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, all of the Obligations and all costs and expenses, including all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including internal and external counsel and paralegals) and expenses of Agent or any Lender in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any Loan Party or any Other Obligor of all or any part of the Obligations (and such costs and expenses paid or incurred shall be deemed to be included in the Obligations). Each Loan Party further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guaranty notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any branch or Affiliate of Agent that extended any portion of the Obligations.

12.2. Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Each Loan Party waives any right to require Agent to sue or otherwise take action against any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Other Obligor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Obligations, or otherwise to enforce its payment against any Collateral securing all or any part of the Obligations.

12.3. No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the Payment in Full of all of the Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any Guarantor; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or any Guarantor or their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Borrower or any Guarantor; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Party may have at any time against any Borrower, Lenders, any Guarantor, Agent, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

-91-

(b) The obligations of each Loan Party hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of Applicable Law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Borrower or any Guarantor of the Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for all or any part of the Obligations or all or any part of any obligations of any Guarantor; (iv) any action or failure to act by Agent with respect to any Collateral; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the Payment in Full of all of the Obligations).

12.4. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Loan Party or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Loan Party, other than the Payment in Full of all of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person. Each Loan Party confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any Collateral, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or any Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Borrower or any Guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Obligations have been Paid in Full. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Party against any Borrower or any Guarantor or any security.

12.5. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Party will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Borrower or any Guarantor, or any Collateral, until the Termination Date.

12.6. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Parties or any other Person, or otherwise, each Loan Party’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not Agent is in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Parties, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Parties forthwith on demand by Agent. This Section 12.6 shall remain operative even after the Termination Date and shall survive the Payment in Full of all of the Loans.

-92-

12.7. Information. Each Loan Party assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Party assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that Agent shall not have any duty to advise any Loan Party of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

12.8. Termination. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party hereby waives any right to revoke this Loan Guaranty as to future Obligations. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by Agent, (b) no such revocation shall apply to any Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by Agent of such written notice (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms or other terms and conditions thereof made in accordance with the terms thereof), (c) no such revocation shall apply to any Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Agent, (d) no payment by any Borrower, any other Loan Party, or from any other source, prior to the date of Agent’s receipt of written notice of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of any Loan Party hereunder and (e) any payment, by any Borrower or from any source other than a Loan Party which has made such a revocation, made subsequent to the date of such revocation, shall first be applied to that portion of the Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guaranteed hereunder, and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of any Loan Party hereunder.

12.9. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Party under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Party’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Parties, Agent or any Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Party’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 12.9 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Party is intended solely to preserve the rights of Agent and the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under Applicable Law, and no Loan Party or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section 12.9 with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Party hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under Applicable Law. Each Loan Party agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Party without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Party’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

12.10. Contribution. In the event any Loan Party shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any Collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty (such Loan Party a “Paying Guarantor”), each other Loan Party (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Relevant Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Section 12.10, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Relevant Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (x) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from any Borrower

-93-

after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (y) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Parties hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Party, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Parties from any Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Party’s several liability for the entire amount of the Obligations (up to such Loan Party’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Parties covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Payment in Full of all of the Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and the Loan Parties and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them, in accordance with the terms hereof.

12.11. Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party under this Section 12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

13. PAYMENTS FREE OF TAXES; OBLIGATION TO WITHHOLD; PAYMENTS ON ACCOUNT OF TAXES.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties 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.

(b) If any Loan Party shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (i) such Loan Party shall withhold or make such deductions as are required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (ii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Applicable Law and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Parties 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) the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, Borrower Representative shall deliver to Agent or such other Recipient, 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 Applicable Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent or such other Recipient, as the case may be.

(c) Without limiting the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(d) Without limiting the provisions of subsections (a) through (c) above, each Loan Party shall, and does hereby, on a joint and several basis, indemnify Agent, each Lender and each other Recipient (and their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents) and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or incurred by Agent, any Lender or any other Recipient on account of, or in connection with any Loan Document or a breach by a Loan Party thereof, and any penalties, interest and related expenses and losses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any internal or external counsel or other tax advisor for Agent, any Lender or any other Recipient (or their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, and agents)), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-94-

(e) Each Lender shall deliver to Borrower Representative and each Lender and each Participant shall deliver to Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Laws, 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 Representative or Agent, as the case may be, to determine (x) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (y) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (z) such Lender’s or Participant’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Recipient by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Recipient’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that (i) each Recipient shall only be required to deliver such documentation as it may legally provide and (ii) other than any documentation required by Section 13(e)(i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(C) or (ii)(D) below, no Recipient shall be required to provide any such documentation if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient or its Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States:

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

(ii) each Lender (or Participant) that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Recipient”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent (or any Lender granting a participation in case the Non-U.S. Recipient is a Participant) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement or a Participant (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Representative or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (A) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party; (B) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI; (C) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation; (D) each Non-U.S. Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, shall provide (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Recipient is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrowers within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E; and/or (E) executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law (including FATCA) 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 Law to permit Borrower Representative or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Each Non-U.S. Recipient shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and Agent (or any Lender granting a participation if the Non-U.S. Recipient is a Participant) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

-95-

(f) Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 15.10 relating to the maintenance of a participant register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this sub-section (f).

(g) Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document (including the Payment in Full of the Obligations).

14. AGENT

14.1. Appointment. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its agent and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver as Agent, each Loan Document, including any intercreditor agreement or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document; (c) make Loans, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) act as collateral agent for Lenders for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein and execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents; (e) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; (f) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute payments and proceeds of the Collateral as provided in the Loan Documents, (g) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents; (h) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or under any Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise, including the determination of eligibility of assets for inclusion in the Borrowing Base, the necessity and amount of Reserves and all other determinations and decisions relating to ordinary course administration of the credit facilities contemplated hereunder; and (i) incur and pay such expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents, whether or not any Loan Party is obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 14 are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any similar term) with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

-96-

14.2. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Agent hereunder, if it is a Lender, 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 Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof as if it were not Agent hereunder without notice to or consent of the other Lenders.

14.3. Duties and Obligations. Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders, and, (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to Agent by a Loan Party or a Lender, and 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 any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent. Agent shall be under no obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of any Loan Party.

14.4. Reliance. 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional (who may be counsel for any Loan Party), 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. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

-97-

14.5. Actions through Sub-Agents. Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent. Agent may also perform its duties through employees and other Agent-Related Persons. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent, employee or Agent Professional that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates and other related parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the related parties of 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 Agent.

14.6. Resignation. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower Representative, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by its successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor, unless otherwise agreed by Borrower Representative and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower Representative, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to Agent under any Loan Document for the benefit of the Lenders, the retiring Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Lenders and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this paragraph (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Agent shall have no duly or obligation to take any further action under any Loan Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent; provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to Agent for the account of any Person other than Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender. Following the effectiveness of Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Section 14, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective related parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above.

-98-

14.7. Non-Reliance.

(a) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender further acknowledges the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person, any arranger of this credit facility or any amendment thereto or any other Lender and based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all Applicable Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person, any arranger of this credit facility or any amendment thereto or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning any Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, 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 any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges that Agent does not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis to provide such Lender with any credit or other information with respect to any Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into Agent’s or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement.

(b) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) it has requested a copy of each appraisal, audit or field examination report prepared by or on behalf of Agent; (ii) Agent (A) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any such report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to any such report and (B) shall not be liable for any information contained in any such report; (iii) such reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement such reports; (iv) it will keep all such reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share any such report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (v) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, (A) it will hold Agent and any such other Person preparing any such report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any such report in connection with any extension of credit that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to any Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a Loan or Loans; and (B) it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and any such other Person preparing any such report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of both internal and external counsel) of Agent or any such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any such report through the indemnifying Lender.

-99-

14.8. Not Partners or Co-Venturers; Agent as Representative of the Secured Parties.

(a) The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in the case of Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) In its capacity, Agent is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC. Each Lender authorizes Agent to enter into each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Lender (other than Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders upon the terms of the Loan Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Obligations, 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 Agent on behalf of the Lenders.

(c) Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the UCC can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (i) to verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) 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 pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

14.9. Credit Bidding. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to Credit Bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (and the Loan Parties shall approve Agent as a qualified bidder and such Credit Bid as qualified bid) at any sale thereof conducted by Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, under any provisions of the UCC, as part of any sale or investor solicitation process conducted by any Loan Party, any interim receiver, receiver, receiver and manager, administrative receiver, trustee, agent or other Person pursuant or under any insolvency laws; provided, that (i) the Required Lenders may not direct Agent in any manner that does not treat each of the Lenders equally, without preference or discrimination, in respect of consideration received as a result of the Credit Bid, (ii) the acquisition documents shall be commercially reasonable and contain customary protections for minority holders such as among other things, anti-dilution and tag-along rights, (iii) the exchanged debt or equity securities must be freely transferable, without restriction (subject to applicable securities laws) and (iv) reasonable efforts shall be made to structure the acquisition in a manner that causes the governance documents pertaining thereto to not impose any obligations or liabilities upon the Lenders

-100-

individually (such as indemnification obligations). Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate such Credit Bid or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “Credit Bid” shall mean, an offer submitted by Agent (on behalf of the Lenders), based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to acquire the property of any Loan Party or any portion thereof in exchange for and in full and final satisfaction of all or a portion (as determined by Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) of the claims and Obligations under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

14.10. Certain Collateral Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon Payment in Full of all Loans and all other Obligations of Borrowers hereunder; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder (including the release of any guarantor); or (iii) subject to Section 15.5 if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; (b) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by clause (b) of the definition of Permitted Liens (it being understood that Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower Representative in determining whether the Indebtedness secured by any such Lien is permitted hereunder) and (c) to enter into and perform, or take any other actions in connection with, any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any Subordinated Debt Subordination Agreement entered into in connection with Liens and/or Indebtedness permitted hereby. Each Lender hereby agrees, solely for the benefit of Agent, that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any Subordinated Debt Subordination Agreement that purports to bind Agent or such Lender. Upon request by Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.10. Agent may, and at the direction of Required Lenders shall, give blockage notices in connection with any Subordinated Debt and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to give such notices. Each Lender further agrees that it will not act unilaterally to deliver such notices.

14.11. Restriction on Actions by Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and shall, upon the written request of Agent (to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so), set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to a Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken, any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to foreclose any loan or otherwise enforce any security interest in any of the Collateral or to enforce all or any part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. All Enforcement Actions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any third party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral may only be taken by Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) or by its agents at the direction of Agent.

14.12. Expenses. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by a Loan Party, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s ratable share thereof. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including Agent Professional fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the Payment in Full hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

-101-

14.13. Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

14.14. Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lenders to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of any Borrower or their respective Subsidiaries.

14.15. Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrowers at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. Agent shall inform each Lender promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Secured Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

15. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

15.1. Notices.

(a) Notice by Approved Electronic Communications. Agent and each of its Affiliates is authorized to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion (but shall not be required to do so), by Approved Electronic Communications in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein. Agent is hereby authorized to establish procedures to provide access to and to make available or deliver, or to accept, notices, documents and similar items by posting to ABLSoft. All uses of ABLSoft and other Approved Electronic Communications shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to the terms of this Agreement, the separate terms, conditions and privacy policy posted or referenced in such system (or such terms, conditions and privacy policy as may be updated from time to time, including on such system) and any related contractual obligations executed by Agent and Loan Parties in connection with the use of such system. Each of the Loan Parties, the Lenders and Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that the use of ABLSoft and other Approved Electronic Communications is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing Agent and each of its Affiliates to transmit Approved Electronic Communications. ABLSoft and all Approved Electronic Communications shall be provided “as is” and “as available”. None of Agent or any of its Affiliates or related persons warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of ABLSoft or any other electronic platform or electronic transmission and disclaims all liability for errors or omissions therein. No warranty of any kind is made by Agent or any of its Affiliates or related persons in connection with ABLSoft or any other electronic platform or electronic transmission, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects. Each Borrower and each other Loan Party executing this Agreement agrees that Agent has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with ABLSoft, any Approved Electronic Communication or otherwise required for ABLSoft or any Approved Electronic Communication. Prior to the Closing Date, Borrower Representative shall deliver to Agent a complete and executed “Client User Form” regarding Borrowers’ use of ABLSoft in the form of Exhibit C annexed hereto. No Approved Electronic Communications shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically. Approved Electronic Communications that are not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such Approved Electronic Communication, an E-Signature, upon which Agent and the Loan Parties may rely and assume the authenticity thereof. Each Approved Electronic Communication containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original. Each E-Signature shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature” and each Approved Electronic Communication shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “writing”, in each case including pursuant to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the UCC, the Federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and any substantive or procedural law governing such subject matter. Each party or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of an Approved Electronic Communication or E-Signature under the provisions of any Applicable Law requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided that nothing herein shall limit such party’s or beneficiary’s right to contest whether an Approved Electronic Communication or E-Signature has been altered after transmission.

15.2. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document is held invalid or unenforceable, either in its entirety or by virtue of its scope or application to given circumstances, such provision shall thereupon be deemed modified only to the extent necessary to render same valid, or not applicable to given circumstances, or excised from this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the situation may require, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had been included herein as so modified in scope or application, or had not been included herein or therein, as the case may be.

15.3. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the final, entire and complete agreement between each Loan Party that is a party hereto and thereto and Agent and supersede all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, oral representations and agreements, all of which are merged and integrated into this Agreement. THERE ARE NO ORAL UNDERSTANDINGS, REPRESENTATIONS OR AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES THAT ARE NOT SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

15.4. Waivers. The failure of Agent and the Lenders at any time or times to require any Loan Party to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall not waive or diminish any right of Agent later to demand and receive strict compliance therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any other default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of Agent or its agents or employees, but only by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Agent and any necessary Lenders and delivered to Borrowers. Once an Event of Default shall have occurred, it shall be deemed to continue to exist and not be cured or waived unless specifically waived in writing by an authorized officer of Agent and Required Lenders and delivered to Borrowers. Each Loan Party waives demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, Instrument, Account, General Intangible, Document, Chattel Paper, Investment Property or guaranty at any time held by Agent on which such Loan Party is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by Agent, unless expressly required by this Agreement, and notice of acceptance hereof.

15.5. Amendments.

(a) No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and acknowledged by the Required Lenders and the Borrower Representative, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that, except to the extent set forth in Section 14.9 hereof, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (i) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal (excluding mandatory prepayments) of or interest on the Loans or any fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the rate of interest thereon or any fees payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (other than the waiver of any obligation of any Loan Party to pay interest at the Default Rate), (iv) amend or modify the definitions of Borrowing Base, Eligible Billed Accounts or Eligible Unbilled Accounts (or any components thereof), including, without limitation, any Advance Rates, in each case, in any manner that makes, or would make, more credit available to the Borrowers, without

-105-

the written consent of each Lender, (v) (A)release any guarantor from its obligations under any Guaranty, other than as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder, (B) release or subordinate its liens on all or any substantial part of the Collateral granted under any of the other Loan Documents (except as permitted by Section 14.10), (C) change the definition of Required Lenders or reduce the aggregate Pro Rata Share required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent under any Loan Document, (D) change any provision of this Section 15.5, or (E) change any provision of Section 14.9, without, in each case set forth in this clause (v), the written consent of all Lenders, or (vi) alter the order of application of payments required by Section 6.2, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby. No provision of Section 14 or other provision of this Agreement affecting Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of Agent. Any amendment contemplated by Section 3.6(d) in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event shall be effective as contemplated by such Section 3.6(d).

(b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, Agent and/or a Person or Persons reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent and/or such Person or Persons, all of the Loans and Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Loans and Commitments held by such Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other amounts then due with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Assumption.

15.6. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance by each Loan Party of each and every obligation under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

15.7. Expenses, Fee and Costs Reimbursement. Each Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay (a) all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses of Agent (including the reasonable and documented out of pocket fees, costs and expenses of internal and external legal counsel to, and appraisers, accountants, consultants and other professionals and advisors retained by or on behalf of, Agent) in connection with (i) all loan proposals and commitments pertaining to the transactions contemplated hereby (whether or not such transactions are consummated), (ii) the examination, review, due diligence investigation, documentation, negotiation, and closing of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (whether or not such transactions are consummated), (iii) the creation, perfection and maintenance of Liens pursuant to the Loan Documents, (iv) the performance or enforcement by Agent of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents (or determining whether or how to perform or enforce such rights and remedies), (v) the administration of the Loans (including usual and customary fees for wire transfers and other transfers or payments received by Agent on account of any of the Obligations) and Loan Documents, (vi) any amendments, modifications, consents and waivers to and/or under any and all Loan Documents (whether or not such amendments, modifications, consents or waivers are consummated), (vii) any customary periodic public record searches conducted by or at the request of Agent (including, title investigations and public records searches)\, pending litigation and Tax lien searches and searches of applicable corporate, limited liability company, partnership and related records concerning the continued existence, organization and good standing of certain Persons, (viii) protecting, storing, insuring, handling, maintaining, auditing, examining, valuing or selling any Collateral, (ix) any litigation, dispute, suit or proceeding relating to any Loan Document and (x) any workout, collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings under any and all of the Loan Documents (it being agreed that (A) such reasonable and documented costs and expenses may include the costs and expenses of workout consultants, investment bankers, financial consultants, appraisers, valuation firms and other professionals and advisors retained by or on behalf of Agent and (B) each Lender shall also be entitled to reimbursement for all out of pocket costs and expense of the type described in this clause (x), provided that, except to the extent of an actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, such reimbursement shall be limited to one additional counsel for the Lenders that are not affiliated with Agent, taken as a whole), and (b) without limiting the preceding clause (a), all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses of Agent in connection with Agent’s reservation of funds in anticipation of the funding of the initial Loans to be made hereunder. Any fees, costs and expenses owing by any Borrower or other Loan Party hereunder shall be due and payable within three days after written demand therefor.

-106-

15.8. Benefit of Agreement; Assignability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs, beneficiaries and representatives of each Borrower, each other Loan Party party hereto, Agent and each Lender; provided, that neither each Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender, and any prohibited assignment shall be void. No consent by Agent or any Lender to any assignment shall release any other Loan Party from its liability for any of the Obligations. Each Lender shall have the right to assign all or any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more other Persons in accordance with Section 15.9, and each Loan Party agrees to execute all agreements, instruments, and documents reasonably requested by any Lender in connection with such assignment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, a Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure any obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or grant to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank.

15.9. Assignments.

(a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (other than Disqualified Persons (as defined below)) (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of such Lender’s Loans and Commitments (i) as part of an assignment and transfer of such Lender’s rights in and to a material portion of such Lender’s portfolio of asset based credit facilities or (ii) with the prior written consent of Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower Representative (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or an Affiliate of a Lender (other than an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender) or an Approved Fund (other than an Approved Fund of a Defaulting Lender)). Except as Agent may otherwise agree, any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the remaining Commitment and Loans held by the assigning Lender; provided that an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum assignment limitations. The Loan Parties and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment and Assumption executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no assignment may be made to any natural person, any Competitor of any Loan Party, the Sponsor, any equity holder of a Loan Party, any Affiliate of any equity holder of a Loan Party, any Loan Party, any holder of Subordinated Debt of a Loan Party, any holder of any Indebtedness that is secured by Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons (any such Person referred to in this sentence, being referred to herein as a “Disqualified Person”), without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld in Agent’s sole discretion and, in any event, if granted, may be conditioned on such terms and conditions as Agent shall require in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, a limitation on the aggregate amount of Loans and Commitments which may be held by such Person and/or its Affiliates and/or limitations on such Person’s and/or its Affiliates’ voting and consent rights and/or rights to attend Lender meetings or obtain information provided to other Lenders. Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 15.9 shall be null and void. The Borrower Representative, and to the extent necessary, each other Loan Party, shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder, unless Borrower Representative has expressly objected to such assignment within ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof.

-107-

(b) From and after the date on which the conditions described in Section 15.9(a) 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 the applicable Assignment and Assumption, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to the applicable Assignment and Assumption, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment and Assumption, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) a promissory note in the principal amount of the Assignee’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (and, as applicable, a promissory note in the principal amount of the Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment retained by the assigning Lender). Upon receipt by Agent of such promissory note(s), the assigning Lender shall return to Borrowers any prior promissory note held by it.

(c) Agent shall, as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered and accepted by it and register (the “Register”) for the recordation of names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of each Lender and principal and stated interest of each Loan owing to each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is the original Lender or the Assignee. No assignment shall be effective unless and until the Assignment and Assumption is accepted and registered in the Register. All records of transfer of a Lender’s interest in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the ownership of the interests in the Loans. Agent shall not incur any liability of any kind with respect to any Lender with respect to the maintenance of the Register. This Section 15.9 and Section 15.10 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” for the purpose of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

15.10. Participations. Anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without in any manner affecting or impairing the validity of any Obligations, sell to one or more Persons (other than any Disqualified Person) participating interests in its Loans, commitments or other interests hereunder or under any other Loan Document (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Lender’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) Borrowers and such Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with each other in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (c) all amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender; provided that a Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13 as if it were a Lender if Borrower Representative is notified of such participation and the Participant complies with Section 13 as provided therein (it being agreed that the participating Lender shall hold any documentation delivered by a Participant under Section 13(e) on behalf of itself, Agent and Borrowers). Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest

-108-

were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided, that such right of set-off shall not be exercised without the prior written consent of such Lender and shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with such Lender its share thereof. Each Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 15.9 as if it were a Lender. Notwithstanding the granting of any such participating interests, (i) Borrowers shall look solely to the applicable Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) Borrowers shall at all times have the right to rely upon any amendments, waivers or consents signed by the applicable Lender as being binding upon all of the Participants and (iii) all communications in respect of this Agreement and such transactions shall remain solely between Borrowers and the applicable Lender (exclusive of Participants) hereunder. If a Lender grants a participation hereunder, such Lender shall maintain, as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, a register as to the participations granted and transferred under this Section containing the same information specified in Section 15.9 on the Register as if each Participant were a Lender to the extent required to cause the Loans to be in registered form for the purposes of Sections 163(F), 165(J), 871, 881, and 4701 of the Code.

15.11. Headings; Construction. Article, Section and subsection headings are used in this Agreement only for convenience and do not affect the meanings of the provisions that they precede.

15.12. USA PATRIOT Act Notification; Other Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. Agent and Lenders hereby notify Loan Parties that pursuant to the Patriot Act, the Proceeds of Crime Act, the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 (UK), Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (UK), Terrorism Act 2000 (UK) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, economic or trade sanctions and “know your client” or “know your customer” policies, regulations, laws or rules (the Proceeds of Crime Act and such other applicable policies, regulations, laws or rules, collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act and the AML Legislation. Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Loan Parties’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. Loan Parties shall, promptly upon request, provide all documentation and other information as Agent or any Lender may request from time to time in order to comply with any obligations under the Patriot Act and/or the AML Legislation.

15.13. Counterparts; Fax/Email Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this letter agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Agent, 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. This Agreement may be executed by signatures delivered by facsimile or electronic mail, each of which shall be fully binding on signing party.

THIS AGREEMENT, ALONG WITH ALL OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE IN SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). FURTHER, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL APPLY TO ALL DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED TO OR WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for swap contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

-111-

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 15.20, the following terms have the following meanings:

(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

Each of the Lenders agrees to be bound each Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and each Subordinated Debt Subordination Agreement. Nothing in this Section 15.20 shall be construed to provide that any Loan Party (a) is a third party beneficiary of the provisions of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and any Subordinated Debt Subordination Agreement or (b) may assert any rights, defenses or claims on account of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any Subordinated Debt Subordination Agreement or this Section 15.20, and each Loan Party agrees that nothing in any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any Subordinated Debt Subordination Agreement is intended or shall impair the obligation of any Loan Party to pay the obligations under this Agreement, or any other Loan Document as and when the same become due and payable in accordance with their respective terms, or to affect the relative rights of the creditors with respect to any Loan Party or, except as expressly otherwise provided in any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any Subordinated Debt Subordination Agreement as to a Loan Party’s obligations, such Loan Party’s properties.
