COMMITMENTS OF THE LENDERS; BORROWING and CONVERSION PROCEDURES.

2.1.1 Term Loan Commitments.

(a) Each Lender with a Term A Loan Commitment agrees to make a loan to Borrowers (each such loan, a “Term A Loan”) on the Closing Date in that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Term A Loan Commitments of all Lenders. The Commitments of the Lenders to make Term A Loans will expire concurrently with the making of Term A Loans on the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, Monroe Capital (or its Affiliates and/or Related Funds) will be the sole Lender of the Term A Loan (it being understood that this sentence shall not affect the rights of Monroe Capital to transfer or assign any of its Loans after the Closing Date as otherwise not prohibited hereunder).

(b) Each Lender with a Term B Loan Commitment agrees to make one or more loans (each such loan, a “Term B Loan”) during the Term B Loan Availability Period in that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amounts that Borrower Representative requests from the Administrative Agent. The aggregate amount of all Term B Loans made will not exceed the aggregate Term B Loan Commitments of all Lenders. The Commitments of the Lenders to make Term B Loans will decrease concurrently with the making of Term B Loans on each applicable borrowing date by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Term B Loans made on that borrowing date. The Commitments of the Lenders to make Term B Loans will expire at the end of the Term B Loan Availability Period. As of the Closing Date, Monroe Capital (or its Affiliates and/or Related Funds) will hold all of the Term B Loan (it being understood that this sentence shall not affect the rights of Monroe Capital to transfer or assign any of its Loans after the Closing Date as otherwise not prohibited hereunder).

2.1.2 Incremental Facilities.

(a) Incremental Requests. The Borrowers may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request increases in the Term Loans (each, an “Incremental Commitment” and the term loans thereunder, an “Incremental Loan”; each Incremental Commitment are sometimes referred to herein individually as an “Incremental Facility” and collectively the “Incremental Facilities”) in Dollars; provided that no commitment of any Lender shall be increased without the consent of such Lender. Such notice shall set forth (x) the amount of the Incremental Commitment being requested (which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) and which shall not exceed $40,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Incremental Cap”) and (y) the date (an “Incremental Effective Date”) on which such Incremental Facility is requested to become effective (which, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date that the Administrative Agent received the request from the Borrower Representative).

(b) Conditions. No Incremental Facility shall become effective under this Section 2.1.2 unless, after giving effect to such Incremental Facility, the Loans to be made thereunder, and the application of the proceeds therefrom (but without giving effect to any netting of the proceeds thereof):

(i) after giving pro forma effect to such Incremental Facility and the use of proceeds thereof (and assuming, in the case of an Incremental Facility, that the entire amount of such increase is funded) on the effective date thereof and other pro forma adjustments (including any related acquisitions, dispositions, incurrence and repayment of indebtedness and other transactions to be agreed), (1) no Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Facility, (2) the representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if such representation or warranty contains any materiality qualifier, including references to “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” or dollar thresholds) after giving effect to such Incremental Facility (unless such representation or warranty is expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if such representation or warranty contains any materiality qualifier, including references to “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” or dollar thresholds) as of such earlier date) and (3) the Borrowers are in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 11.12 as of the last day of the most recently ended twelve fiscal month period for which financial statements have been delivered;

(ii) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Facilities shall not exceed the Incremental Cap;

(iii) the proceeds of any Incremental Facility shall be used solely for Permitted Acquisitions as expressly permitted by the existing Lenders;

(iv) each Incremental Facility shall be on the same terms as those applicable to the existing Term Loans; and

(v) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying as to the foregoing.

(c) Required Amendments. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence of such Incremental Facility and the Loans evidenced thereby, and any joinder agreement or amendment may without the consent of the other Lenders effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.1.2. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loan Parties as may be necessary in order to establish any Incremental Facility and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of any Incremental Facility, in each case, on terms consistent with this Section. From and after each Incremental Effective Date, the Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.1.2 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees and security interests created by the applicable Collateral Documents to the extent such Loans and Commitments are incurred on a pari passu basis in payment and security with the existing Term Loans. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the applicable Collateral Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Loans and Commitments, including, without limitation, compliance with Section 10.9. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive such customary legal opinions and/or “know your customer” information as it (on behalf of itself or any Lender) shall reasonably require. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Loans are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by allocating a portion of each such Incremental Loan to each outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans that are LIBOR Loans on a pro rata basis. In addition, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 6.4 required to be made after the making of any Incremental Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Loans for all Lenders on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary to avoid any reduction in the amortization payments to which the Term Lenders were entitled before such recalculation.

(d) Incremental Lenders. Each Incremental Facility will be made available only upon receiving credit commitments from existing Lenders and/or any additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders or investors that will become Lenders in connection therewith that are arranged by and acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. The terms and conditions for any Incremental Facility will be subject to approval by the existing Lenders in their sole discretion and will be subject to, but not limited to, the ongoing compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 11.12. For the avoidance of doubt, Incremental Lenders shall not include Ineligible Lenders.

2.2 Loan Procedures.

2.2.1 Various Types of Loans. Each Loan may be divided into tranches which are, either a LIBOR Loan or, solely to the extent contemplated in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3, Base Rate Loan (each, a “Type” of Loan), as Borrower Representative specifies in the related Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2.2. Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans may not be outstanding at the same time. All borrowings, conversions, and repayments of Loans will be effected so that each Lender will have a ratable share (according to its Pro Rata Share) of all Types of Loans.

2.2.2 Borrowing Procedures.

(a) Borrower Representative shall give written notice (each such written notice, a “Notice of Borrowing”) substantially in the form of Exhibit D to Administrative Agent and each Lender with an applicable Commitment of each proposed borrowing not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York city time) three Business Days prior to the proposed date of that borrowing. Each such notice will be effective upon receipt by Administrative Agent, will be irrevocable, and must specify the date, amount, and Type of borrowing (which shall be a LIBOR Loan unless the provision of LIBOR Loans becomes unlawful or is not otherwise available as described in Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.3). On the requested borrowing date, each Lender with an applicable Commitment shall provide Administrative Agent with immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent’s Account, covering that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of that borrowing so long as the applicable Lender has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 12 with respect to that borrowing have not been satisfied. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of the applicable Loans from Lenders with applicable Commitments, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of those Loans available to Borrowers on the applicable borrowing date by transferring to Borrowers immediately available funds equal to the proceeds received by Administrative Agent. Each borrowing must be on a Business Day. Each borrowing must be in an aggregate amount of at least $2,000,000 and an integral multiple of $500,000. Each Lender shall, upon request of Administrative Agent, deliver to Administrative Agent a list of all Loans made by that Lender, together with all information related thereto as Administrative Agent reasonably requests. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower Representative may not request, and Lenders will not be required to fund, any borrowing of any Loan that is not a LIBOR borrowing unless, subject to and as more particularly described in Section 8, LIBOR is unavailable or unlawful.

(b) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, Administrative Agent may, at its option, charge when due any Obligations against any operating, investment or other account of any Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

2.2.3 [Reserved].

2.3 Commitments Several. The failure of any Lender to make a requested Loan on any date will not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make a Loan on that date, but no Lender will be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by that other Lender.

2.4 Certain Conditions. No Lender will have an obligation to make any Loan if an Event of Default or Default exists.

2.5 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions will apply for so long as that Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

2.5.1 Fees will cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Term B Loan Commitment of the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 5.1.

2.5.2 Any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.5 but excluding Section 8) will, in lieu of being distributed to that Defaulting Lender, be retained by Administrative Agent and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied as follows at such time or times as Administrative Agent determines: (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent under this Agreement; (ii) second, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; (iii) third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrowers, held 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 any Borrower or any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and (v) fifth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans and made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 12.2 are satisfied, then that payment will 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 of any Defaulting Lender.

2.5.3 No Defaulting Lender will 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 under this Agreement (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 15.1), but any waiver, amendment, or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly affected Lender that affects a Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders will require the consent of that Defaulting Lender.

3.1 Notes. At a Lender’s request the Term Loans of that Lender may be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to that Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a face principal amount equal to the principal amount of that Lender’s Term Loans plus, in the case of Term B Loans, the unfunded principal amount of that Lender’s Term B Loan Commitment.

3.2 Recordkeeping. Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Lender, shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Loan made by each Lender and each repayment or conversion thereof. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded will be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the Loans owing and unpaid. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount will not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans under this Agreement, together with all interest accruing thereon.

Section 4

INTEREST.

4.1 Interest Rates.

4.1.1 Interest on Loans. Borrowers agree to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the date that Loan is made until that Loan is paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans; provided, that if the provision of LIBOR Loans becomes unlawful or unavailable as described in Section 8.2(a) or 8.3, then interest will be payable at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.

4.1.2 Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists, upon written notice of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the interest rate applicable to each Loan will be increased by 2.00% during the existence of an Event of Default (and, in the case of Obligations not bearing interest, those Obligations will, during the existence of an Event of Default, bear interest at the highest interest rate applicable to the Loans plus 2.00%), but any such increase may be rescinded by Required Lenders, notwithstanding Section 15.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 13.1.1 or 13.1.4, the increase provided for in this Section 4.1.2 will occur automatically. In no event will interest payable by Borrowers to any Lender under this Agreement exceed the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, and if any such provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law, then that provision will be deemed modified to limit that interest to the maximum rate permitted under that law.

4.1.3 Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan is payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month, upon a prepayment of that Loan, and at maturity. After maturity, and at any time an Event of Default exists, accrued interest on all Loans will be payable on demand. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to, and Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account with the amount of any interest payment due under this Agreement.

4.2 Setting and Notice of LIBOR Rates. The LIBOR Rate will be determined by Administrative Agent. Each determination of the applicable LIBOR Rate by Administrative Agent will be conclusive and binding upon the parties to this Agreement, absent manifest error.

4.3 Computation of Interest. Interest will be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of (a) 360 days for interest calculated at the LIBOR Rate and (b) 365/366 days for interest calculated at the Base Rate. The applicable interest rate for each Base Rate Loan will change simultaneously with each change in the Base Rate and the applicable interest rate for each LIBOR Loan will change simultaneously with each change in the LIBOR Rate.

Section 5

FEES.

5.1 Unused Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender with a Term B Loan Commitment (except as provided in Section 2.5) an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”), for the period from the Closing Date to the earlier of (i) the Termination Date or (ii) the last day of the Term B Loan Availability Period, at the Unused Fee Rate in effect from time to time of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share (as adjusted from time to time) of the average daily unused amount of the Term B Loan Commitments. For purposes of calculating usage under this Section 5.1, the Term B Loan Commitments will be deemed used when initially drawn. That Unused Fee will be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month and on the earlier of the Termination Date or the last day of the Term B Loan Availability Period for any period then ending for which that Unused Fee has not have previously been paid. The Unused Fee will be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days.

5.2 Additional Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent all fees as are mutually agreed to from time to time by Borrowers and Administrative Agent, including the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter.

5.3 Applicable Premium and Exit Fee. Without limiting the generality of Section 5.2, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the sole and separate account of Administrative Agent, each Applicable Premium and Exit Fee in accordance with the Agent Fee Letter.

5.4 Warrants.

5.4.1 Warrant Original Issue Discount. The Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries and Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that the Loans and the Warrants are part of an “investment unit” within the meaning of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code. The Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries and Administrative Agent agree that for purposes of allocating a portion of the issue price of the investment unit to the Warrants in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2(h)(1), the fair market value of the Closing Date Warrant is $765,678. The Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries and Administrative Agent agree that any other Warrant issued after the Closing Date to the Warrant Holder shall be valued using the same methodology as the methodology used to value the Closing Date Warrant and such valuation shall be mutually agreeable to the Holdings and the Warrant Holder. The Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries and Administrative Agent agree to file all tax returns consistently with this Section 5.4 and not take any position inconsistent therewith.

Section 6

Reduction or Termination of Commitments; PREPAYMENTS; Repayments.

6.1 Reduction or Termination of Commitments.

6.1.1 Voluntary Reduction or Termination of the Term B Loan Commitments. Borrowers may from time to time on at least five Business Days’ prior written notice from Borrower Representative to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each applicable Lender thereof) permanently reduce the Term B Loan Commitments. Any such reduction must be in an amount not less than $500,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000.

6.1.2 All Reductions of Commitments. All reductions of the Term B Loan Commitments will reduce the Term B Loan Commitments ratably among the Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares.

If Administrative Agent does not receive prior written notice that Term Loan Priority Collateral is the subject of an Asset Disposition, then the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to Administrative Agent on the date such Asset Disposition is consummated that none of the assets subject to such Asset Disposition constitute Term Loan Priority Collateral.

(ii) concurrently with the receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Cash Proceeds from any issuance of Equity Interests of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, whether in connection with the issuance of any Curative Equity or otherwise (excluding any issuance of Equity Interests (A) pursuant to any employee or director option program, benefit plan or compensation program or agreement, (B) by a Subsidiary to any Borrower or another Subsidiary and (C) the Net Cash Proceeds of which are used substantially concurrently to fund a Permitted Acquisition), in an amount equal to 50% (or, in the case of Net Cash Proceeds in the form of Curative Equity, 100%) of those Net Cash Proceeds.

Section 7

MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SETOFF; TAXES.

7.1 Making of Payments.

7.1.1 Borrowers shall make all payments of principal or interest on the Loans, and of all fees, to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds to Administrative Agent’s Account not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York city time) on the date due, and funds received after that time will be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent on the following Business Day. Borrower shall make all payments to Administrative Agent and the Lenders without set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, deduction, or other defense. Subject to Section 2.5, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its share of all such payments received in collected funds by Administrative Agent for the account of that Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall make all payments under Section 8.1 directly to the Lender entitled thereto.

7.2 Application of Certain Payments.

7.2.1 So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (a) payments matching specific scheduled payments then due will be applied to those scheduled payments and (b) voluntary and mandatory prepayments will be applied as set forth in Sections 6.2 and 6.3.

7.2.2 Subject to any written agreement among Administrative Agent and the Lenders:

(a) All payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments of fees, and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, will be allocated by Administrative Agent among Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided in this Agreement or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans, as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as follows: (i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to Administrative Agent until paid in full; (ii) second, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees (other than any Applicable Premium or Exit Fee) and indemnities then due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full; (iii) third, ratably (to Administrative Agent in accordance with Administrative Agent’s outstanding Protective Advances) to pay interest then due and payable in respect of Protective Advances until paid in full; (iv) fourth, ratably (to Administrative Agent in accordance with Administrative Agent’s outstanding Protective Advances) to pay principal of the Protective Advances until paid in full; (v) fifth, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any Applicable Premium or Exit Fee then due and payable until paid in full; and (vi) sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable.

(c) For purposes of Section 7.2.2(b), “paid in full” means payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents (or, to the extent those Obligations are contingent, to provide cash collateral in respect of those Obligations in a manner and amount reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after, or that would have accrued but for, the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(d) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 7.2.2 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that all such priority provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 7.2.2 will control and govern.

7.3 Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then that due date will be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, that immediately preceding Business Day is the first Business Day of a month, in which case that due date will be the immediately preceding Business Day), and, in the case of principal, additional interest will accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.

7.4 Setoff. Each Borrower, for itself and each other Loan Party, agrees that Administrative Agent and each Lender have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, each Borrower, for itself and each other Loan Party, agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent and each Lender may apply to the payment of any Obligations of each Borrower and each other Loan Party under this Agreement, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts, or moneys of each Borrower and each other Loan Party then or thereafter with Administrative Agent or that Lender.

7.5 Proration of Payments. Except as provided in Section 2.5, if any Lender obtains any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset, or otherwise), on account of principal of or interest on any Loan (but excluding (i) any payment pursuant to Section 8 or 15.6 and (ii) payments of interest on any Affected Loan) in excess of its applicable Pro Rata Share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on the Loans, then held by them, then that Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans held by them as are necessary to cause that purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them, but if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from that purchasing Lender, then that purchase will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of that recovery.

7.6 Taxes.

7.6.1 All payments under this Agreement or under the Loan Documents (including any payment of principal, interest, or fees) to, or for the benefit, of any Person will be made by Borrowers free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for, or account of, any Taxes now or hereafter imposed by any taxing authority, except as required by applicable law.

7.6.2 If Borrowers make any payment under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document in respect of which any Borrower is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes, then Borrowers shall increase the payment under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document such that after the reduction for the amount of Indemnified Taxes withheld (and any Indemnified Taxes withheld or imposed with respect to the additional payments required under this Section 7.6.2), the amount paid equals the amount that was payable under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document without regard to this Section 7.6.2. To the extent Borrowers withhold any Taxes on payments under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority within the time allowed for payment under applicable law and shall deliver to Administrative Agent within 30 days after Borrowers have made payment to that taxing authority a receipt issued by that taxing authority (or other evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent) evidencing the payment of all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld from that payment.

7.6.3 If any Lender or Administrative Agent or other recipient is required by law to make any payments of any Indemnified Taxes on or in relation to any amounts received or receivable under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, or any Indemnified Tax is assessed against a Lender or Administrative Agent or other recipient with respect to amounts received or receivable under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, Borrowers will indemnify that Person against (i) that Indemnified Tax and (ii) any Taxes imposed as a result of the receipt of the payment under this Section 7.6.3. A certificate prepared in good faith as to the amount of any such payment by that Lender or Administrative Agent or other recipient will, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive, and binding on all parties.

7.6.4 (a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Lender that is not a United States person within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (or in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee, on the date of the assignment to that Lender) two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable form prescribed by the IRS) certifying to that Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate in, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made under this Agreement or with respect to any Loan. If a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Lender is claiming a complete exemption from withholding on interest pursuant to Code Sections 871(h) or 881(c), then that Lender shall deliver (along with two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) a certificate in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (any such certificate, a “Withholding Certificate”). In addition, each Lender that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall, from time to time after the Closing Date (or in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee, after the date of the assignment to that Lender) when a lapse in time (or change in circumstances occurs) renders the prior certificates delivered under this Agreement obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, to the extent permitted under applicable law, deliver to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent two new and accurate and complete original signed copies of an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable forms prescribed by the IRS), and if applicable, a new Withholding Certificate, to confirm or establish the entitlement of that Lender or Administrative Agent to an exemption from, or reduction in, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made under this Agreement or with respect to any Loan.

(b) Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender (other than any such Lender that is taxed as corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall provide two properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor or other applicable form) to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent certifying that that Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding Tax. To the extent that a form provided pursuant to this Section 7.6.4(b) is rendered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect as result of change in circumstances with respect to the status of a Lender or Administrative Agent, then that Lender or Administrative Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, deliver to Borrower Representative and, as applicable, Administrative Agent revised forms necessary to confirm or establish the entitlement to that Lender’s exemption from United States backup withholding Tax.

(c) No Borrower will be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender, or indemnify any Lender, under this Section 7.6 to the extent that any Borrower’s obligations would not have arisen but for the failure of that Lender to comply with Section 7.6.4(a) and/or in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender, the inability of such Lender to claim a complete exemption from U.S. withholding tax on interest under the Code (including, but not limited to, as a result of such Lender’s status under Code Section 881(c)(3)) or an applicable income tax treaty, except to the extent such inability results from a Change in Law occurring after the date such Lender acquired an interest in a Loan.

(d) Each Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent and hold Administrative Agent harmless for the full amount of any and all present or future Taxes and related liabilities (including penalties, interest, additions to Tax and expenses, and any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to Administrative Agent under this Section 7.6) which are imposed on or with respect to principal, interest, or fees payable to that Lender under this Agreement and which are not paid by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 7.6, whether or not those Taxes or related liabilities were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification must be made within 30 days from the date Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor.

7.6.5 (a) If Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.6, then Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, shall pay over that refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 7.6 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to that refund), net of any Taxes imposed by reason of receipt of that refund and all out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to that refund, which interest must be paid to the Borrowers). Upon the request of Administrative Agent or any such Lender, Borrowers shall repay any amount paid to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest, or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to Administrative Agent or that Lender in the event Administrative Agent or that Lender is required to repay any such refund to any such governmental authority. Nothing in this Section 7.6.5 is to be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

(b) At the request of any Borrower and at the expense of the Borrowers, a Lender shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to obtain any available refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which the Lender has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts, so long as such efforts would not, in the sole discretion of such Lender exercised in good faith, result in any additional costs or expenses or be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

7.6.6 If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal income withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if that Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), then that Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) at the time or times prescribed by law and at any other time or times reasonably requested by Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) all documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and all additional documentation reasonably requested by Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) as is necessary for Administrative Agent or Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that that Lender has complied with that Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from that payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 7.6.6, “FATCA” is deemed to include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Section 8

Increased Costs; Special Provisions for LIBOR Loans.

8.1 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law (i) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate pursuant to Section 4), special deposit, or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with, or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or (ii) imposes on any Lender any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans, its Note(s), or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, and the result of anything described in clauses (i) and (ii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) that Lender (or any LIBOR Office of that Lender) of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by that Lender (or its LIBOR Office) under this Agreement or under its Note(s) with respect thereto, then upon demand by that Lender (which demand must be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for that demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which must be furnished to Administrative Agent), Borrowers shall pay directly to that Lender such additional amount as will compensate that Lender for that increased cost or that reduction, so long as the applicable amounts have accrued on or after the day that is 180 days prior to the date on which that Lender first made demand therefor.

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in, or the adoption or phase-in of, any applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on that Lender’s or that controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of that Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to a level below that which that Lender or that controlling Person could have achieved but for that change, adoption, phase-in, or compliance (taking into consideration that Lender’s or that controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by that Lender or that controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, upon demand by that Lender (which demand must be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for that demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which must be furnished to Administrative Agent), Borrowers shall pay to that Lender such additional amount as will compensate that Lender or that controlling Person for that reduction, so long as the applicable amounts have accrued on or after the day that is 180 days prior to the date on which that Lender first made demand therefor.

8.2 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.

(a) Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other parties of the following:

(i) Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination will be binding and conclusive on Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate; or

(ii) the Required Lenders advise Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate as determined by Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to those Lenders of maintaining or funding LIBOR Loans (taking into account any amount to which those Lenders may be entitled under Section 8.1) or that the making or funding of LIBOR Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of those Lenders materially affects those Loans.

(b) So long as any circumstances described in a notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(a) continue, (i) no Lender will be required to make any LIBOR Loans or convert any Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, and (ii) each such Loan will, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent determine in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto, absent manifest error), or the Borrower Representative or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower Representative) that the Borrower Representative or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined in good faith, that:

(i) the circumstances described in Section 8.2(a)(i) are unlikely to be temporary,

(ii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 8.2, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR Screen Rate,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBOR Screen Rate with an alternate benchmark rate that is generally accepted as the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated leveraged loans of this type in the United States at such time (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein or this Agreement to preserve pricing in effect at the time of selection of such alternate benchmark rate and other changes necessary to reflect the available interest periods for such alternate benchmark rate) (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York city time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (c)(i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Representative and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans), and (y) the LIBOR Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Representative may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than 1.25% per annum for purposes of this Agreement.

8.3 Changes in Law Rendering LIBOR Loans Unlawful. If, after the date of this Agreement, any change in, or the adoption of any new, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law or regulation by any governmental authority or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, makes it (or in the good faith judgment of any Lender causes a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain, or fund LIBOR Loans, then that Lender shall promptly notify each of the other parties to this Agreement and, so long as those circumstances continue, (a) that Lender will not be required to make any LIBOR Loan or convert any Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan (but that Lender shall, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, make Base Rate Loans concurrently with the making of or conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans by the Lenders which are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to the amount of LIBOR Loans which would be made or converted into by that Lender at that time in the absence of those circumstances), and (b) each such LIBOR Loan will, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. Each Base Rate Loan made by a Lender which, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a LIBOR Loan (an “Affected Loan”) will remain outstanding for the period corresponding to the LIBOR Loans of which that Affected Loan would be a part absent those circumstances.

8.4 Right of Lenders to Fund through Other Offices. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any LIBOR Loan by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate of that Lender to make that Loan, but each such Loan will be deemed to have been made by that Lender and the obligation of Borrowers to repay that Loan will be to that Lender and will be deemed held by the Lender, to the extent of that Loan, for the account of that branch or Affiliate.

8.5 Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in that Lender’s sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to that Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by Borrowers to pay any amount pursuant to Sections 7.6 or 8.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 8.2 or 8.3 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) and thereafter that event ceases to exist, that Lender shall promptly so notify Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall designate a different funding office if that designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to Borrowers of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) and that designation will not, in that Lender’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to that Lender.

(b) If Borrowers become obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Sections 7.6 or 8.1, or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 8.2 or 8.3, or any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender (any such affected Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then Borrower Representative may designate another financial institution that is acceptable to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion (a “Replacement Lender”) to purchase the Loans of that Lender and that Lender’s rights under this Agreement, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, that Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to that Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on those Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to that Lender and any other amounts owed to that Lender under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, and to assume all the obligations of that Lender under this Agreement. Upon any such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), the applicable Lender will no longer be a party to this Agreement or have any rights under this Agreement (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to that Lender prior to the date of that purchase and assumption) and will be relieved from all obligations to Borrowers under this Agreement, and the Replacement Lender will succeed to the rights and obligations of that Lender under this Agreement. In the event that an Affected Lender does not execute an Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 15.6.1 within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such Affected Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 8.5(b) and presentation to such Affected Lender of an Assignment Agreement evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 8.5(b), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment Agreement on behalf of such Affected Lender, and any such Assignment Agreement so executed by the Borrower Representative, the Replacement Lender and Administrative Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 8.5(b) and Section 15.6.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain a Replacement Lender and execute an Assignment Agreement on behalf of such Defaulting Lender at any time with three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender (unless notice is not practicable under the circumstances) and cause such Lender’s Loans and Commitments to be sold and assigned, in whole or in part, at par. Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 15.6.1, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Affected Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.

8.6 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3 will be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Section 8.1, and the provisions of Section 8.1 will survive repayment of the Obligations, cancellation of any Note(s), and termination of this Agreement.

13.1.16 Material Adverse Effect. A Material Adverse Effect occurs.

13.2 Effect of Event of Default. If any Event of Default described in Section 13.1.4 occurs in respect of any Loan Party, then the Commitments will immediately terminate and the Loans and all other Obligations under this Agreement will become immediately due and payable, all without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then Administrative Agent may (and, upon the written request of the Required Lenders shall) declare, in a written notice to Borrower Representative, the Commitments to be terminated in whole or in part and/or declare all or any part of the Loans and all other Obligations under this Agreement to be due and payable, whereupon the Commitments will immediately terminate (or be reduced, as applicable) and/or the Loans and other Obligations under this Agreement will become immediately due and payable (in whole or in part, as applicable), all without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind (other than as expressly provided for above in this sentence). Administrative Agent shall promptly advise Borrower Representative of any such declaration, but failure to do so will not impair the effect of any such declaration. If Administrative Agent has received a Cure Notice from the Borrower Representative, then Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders may not exercise any the foregoing remedies in this Section 13.2 with respect to that Specified Financial Covenant Default until the earlier of (i) the Cure Period has expired, and (ii) the date that Administrative Agent receives notice Borrowers will not cure that Specified Financial Covenant Default in accordance with Section 13.4; provided, that, during such period, such Specified Financial Covenant Default shall be deemed an Event of Default for all other purposes under this Agreement.

13.3 Credit Bidding. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative 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 at any sale thereof conducted by Administrative Agent in accordance with applicable law, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, under any provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, 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, in each case subject to the following limitations: (i) the Required Lenders may not direct Administrative 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 any Credit Bid; (ii) the acquisition documents must 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 must 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 individually (such as indemnification obligations). For purposes of this Section 13.3, the term “Credit Bid” means an offer submitted by Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) of the claims and Obligations under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

13.4 Curative Equity.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.4(d), Borrowers may cure (and will be deemed to have cured) an Event of Default arising out of a breach of any of the financial covenants set forth in Section 11.12 (each such financial covenant, a “Specified Financial Covenant”; each such Event of Default, a “Specified Financial Covenant Default”) if Borrowers receive the cash proceeds of Curative Equity within 10 Business Days after the earliest date on which each applicable Specified Financial Covenant is required to be tested for the applicable Computation Period pursuant to this Agreement (the “Cure Period”).

(b) Borrowers shall provide Administrative Agent with irrevocable written notice during the Cure Period of their intent to cure the Specified Financial Covenant(s) with Curative Equity (the “Cure Notice”) and shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of their receipt of any proceeds of Curative Equity and shall make a prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3.

(c) Upon receipt by the Borrowers of the Curative Equity (and application of the proceeds of such Curative Equity in accordance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3) and delivery of a certificate by Borrower Representative to Administrative Agent certifying as to the amount of the proceeds of any Curative Equity and that those proceeds have been applied in accordance with Section 13.4(b) in an amount equal to the amount which if applied to increase EBITDA for the Computation Period would result in the Borrowers being in pro forma compliance with the applicable Specified Financial Covenant(s) (which certificate shall also set forth the calculation of the applicable Specified Financial Covenant being cured in reasonable detail), then each applicable Specified Financial Covenant Default will be deemed cured with no further action required by the Required Lenders. Before the date of the delivery of that certificate, any Specified Financial Covenant Default that has occurred and is continuing will be deemed to be continuing, and, as a result, the Lenders will have no obligation to make additional loans or otherwise extend additional credit under this Agreement. If Borrowers do not cure a Specified Financial Covenant Default as provided in this Section 13.4, then that Specified Financial Covenant Default will continue unless waived in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

(d) To the extent that proceeds of Curative Equity are received with respect to any Fiscal Quarter, those proceeds will be deemed to be EBITDA for purposes of determining compliance with the Specified Financial Covenant(s) for that Fiscal Quarter and subsequent periods that include that Fiscal Quarter. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Borrowers’ rights under this Section 13.4 (A) may be exercised no more than four times during the term of this Agreement; (B) may be exercised no more than twice in any period of four Fiscal Quarters; (C) may not be exercised in two consecutive Fiscal Quarters and (D) may not be exercised if the amount of proceeds of the Curative Equity, together with the aggregate amount of proceeds of all prior Curative Equity, exceeds 20% of Consolidated EBITDA (calculated prior to giving effect to such Curative Equity) in any trailing twelve month period; (ii) the amount of proceeds of any Curative Equity may not be greater than or less than the amount required to cause Borrowers to be in compliance with each applicable Specified Financial Covenant(s) as at the end of the applicable Computation Period (without giving effect to any prepayment of Debt); and (iii) the proceeds of Curative Equity will be disregarded for purposes of determining EBITDA for any pricing, financial covenant-based conditions, or baskets with respect to the covenants contained in this Agreement and there will be no pro forma reduction in Debt with the proceeds of any Curative Equity for determining compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants or for determining any pricing, financial covenant-based conditions, or baskets with respect to the covenants contained in this Agreement, in each case in the Fiscal Quarter in which that Curative Equity is used and each Computation Period ending on the last day of the following three Fiscal Quarters.

Section 14

Agency.

14.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 14.10) appoints, designates, and authorizes Administrative Agent to take any action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise any powers and perform any duties as are expressly delegated to it, as applicable, by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with all powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent will not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor will Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities are to be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement and in other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, that term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

14.2 [Reserved].

14.3 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees, or attorneys-in-fact and is entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to those duties. Administrative Agent will not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

14.4 Exculpation. None of Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees, and agents (a) will be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth in this Agreement as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) will be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer 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 Administrative 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 the creation, perfection, or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of any Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent is not and will not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

14.5 Reliance. Administrative Agent may rely, and will be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, electronic mail message, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement, or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers), independent accountants, and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent will be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Administrative Agent first receives all advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Administrative Agent against any and all liability and expense which might be incurred by Administrative Agent by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent will 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 each such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto will be binding upon each Lender. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 12, each Lender that has signed this Agreement will be deemed to have consented to, approved, or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless Administrative Agent has received written notice from that Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

14.6 Notice of Default. Administrative Agent will not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing that Event of Default or Default and stating that that notice is a “notice of default.” Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent shall take all such actions with respect to each such Event of Default or Default as requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 13, but unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such request, Administrative Agent may (but will not be required to) take any action, or refrain from taking any action, with respect to any Event of Default or Default as Administrative Agent deems advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

14.7 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Loan Parties, will be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent and based on documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers under this Agreement. Each Lender also represents to Administrative Agent that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent and based on documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals, and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make all investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, and creditworthiness of Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required in this Agreement to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower which may come into the possession of Administrative Agent.

14.8 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), according to its applicable Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, except that no Lender will be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders will be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 14.8. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs and Taxes) incurred by Administrative 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, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to in this Agreement, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for any such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section 14.8 will survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.

14.9 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacities. Monroe Capital and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Loan Parties and Affiliates as though Monroe Capital were not Administrative Agent under this Agreement and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to those activities, Monroe Capital or its Affiliates might receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates (including information that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of any Borrower or any such Affiliate) and acknowledges that Administrative Agent will be under no obligation to provide any such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), Monroe Capital and its Affiliates have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though Monroe Capital were not Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Monroe Capital and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

14.10 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of Borrower Representative (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower Representative, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent under this Agreement, that successor agent will succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” will mean that successor agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent will be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Agreement as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 14 and Sections 15.5 and 15.17 will inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation will nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

14.11 Collateral Matters. Each Lender authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents for the benefit of Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any action taken by Administrative Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by Administrative Agent or Required Lenders of the powers set forth in this Agreement or therein, together with all other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, will be authorized by, and binding upon, all Lenders. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to do any and all of the following: (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document (i) upon Payment in Full; (ii) upon property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under this Agreement (including the release of any Guarantor in connection with any such disposition); or (iii) subject to Section 15.1, if approved in writing by the Required Lenders; or (b) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on that Collateral which is permitted by Section 11.2(d)(i), 11.2(d)(iii) or 11.2(k) (it being understood that Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower Representative in determining whether the Debt secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 11.1(b)). Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.11.

14.12 Restriction on Actions by Lenders. Each Lender shall not, without the express written consent of Administrative Agent, and shall, upon the written request of Administrative Agent (to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so), set-off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by that Lender to a Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with that Lender. Each Lender shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Administrative 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 be taken by only Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) or by its agents at the direction of Administrative Agent.

14.13 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

14.13.1 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party (including any Insolvency Proceeding), Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan is then due and payable as expressed in this Agreement or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent has made any demand on Borrowers) may, by intervention in any such proceeding or otherwise, do any and all of the following:

(a) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file any other documents as are necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Administrative Agent under Sections 5, 15.5, and 15.17) allowed in any such proceedings; and

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

14.13.2 Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make all payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 5, 15.5, and 15.17.

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

14.14 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger,” if any, has any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility, or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of any Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified has or is deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

14.15 Protective Advances. Administrative Agent may, from time to time at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, make all disbursements and advances (“Protective Advances”) that Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Loan Parties of the Loans and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 15.5. Protective Advances are repayable on demand and will be secured by the Collateral and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans. Protective Advances constitute Obligations under this Agreement and may be charged to the Loan Account. No Protective Advance made by Administrative Agent and charged to the Loan Account will be deemed to constitute a Loan and no Lender will have any obligation to fund any amount to Administrative Agent as a result thereof. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and the Borrower Representative in writing of each Protective Advance made by Administrative Agent, which notice must include a description of the purpose of that Protective Advance.

GENERAL.

15.1 Waiver; Amendments.

(a) No amendment, modification, or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be effective unless it is in writing and acknowledged by Lenders having an aggregate Pro Rata Shares of not less than the aggregate Pro Rata Shares expressly designated in this Agreement with respect thereto or, in the absence of any such designation as to any provision of this Agreement, by the Required Lenders. Any amendment, modification, waiver, or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(b) The Agent Fee Letter may be amended, waived, consented to, or modified by the parties thereto.

(c) No amendment, modification, waiver, or consent may extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of that Lender.

(d) No amendment, modification, waiver, or consent may extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal (excluding mandatory prepayments) of or interest on the Loans or any fees payable under this Agreement without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby.

(e) No amendment, modification, waiver, or consent may reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the rate of interest thereon, or any fees payable under this Agreement without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except (i) for periodic adjustments of interest rates and fees resulting from a change in the LIBOR Rate and the Base Rate as provided for in this Agreement, and (ii) that Required Lenders may rescind any increase in the interest rate under and in accordance with Section 4.1.2).

(f) No amendment, modification, waiver, or consent may do any of the following without the written consent of each Lender: (i) release any Borrower or any Guarantor from its obligations, other than as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under this Agreement; (ii) release all or any substantial part of the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents (except as permitted by Section 14.11); (iii) change the definitions of Pro Rata Share or Required Lenders, any provision of this Section 15.1, any provision of Section 13.3, or reduce the aggregate Pro Rata Share required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver, or consent.

(g) No provision of Sections 6.2.2, 6.3, or 7.2.2(b) with respect to the timing or application of mandatory prepayments of the Loans may be amended, modified, or waived without the consent of Lenders having a majority of the aggregate Pro Rata Shares of the Term A Loans affected thereby, the Term B Loans affected thereby and the Incremental Loans affected thereby.

(h) No provision of Section 14 or other provision of this Agreement affecting Administrative Agent in its capacity as such may be amended, modified, or waived without the consent of Administrative Agent.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent, Holdings, and Borrowers to do any of the following: (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term A Loans, the Term B Loans, the Term B Loan Commitments, and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding any such additional credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(j) 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 is referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as Administrative Agent or such other Person is not a Non-Consenting Lender, Administrative Agent and/or one or more Persons reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent may (but will not be required to) purchase from that Non-Consenting Lender, and that Non-Consenting Lenders shall, upon Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to Administrative Agent and/or any such Person, all of the Loans and Commitments of that Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Loans and Commitments held by that Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest, fees, expenses, and other amounts then due with respect thereto through the date of sale, which purchase and sale will be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement. In the event that Non-Consenting Lender does not execute an Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 15.6.1 within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such Non-Consenting Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 15.1(j) and presentation to such Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment Agreement evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 15.1(j), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment Agreement on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender, and any such Assignment Agreement so executed by the Borrower Representative, Administrative Agent and, to the extent applicable, any other Person purchasing such Loans and Commitments of the Non-Consenting Lender, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 15.1(j) and Section 15.6.1. Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 15.6.1, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Non-Consenting Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.

15.2 Confirmations. Each Borrower and each holder of a Note agree from time to time, upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to Administrative Agent) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding under that Note.

100

15.3 Notices.

15.3.1 Generally. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.2.2, all notices under this Agreement must be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and must be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Annex B or at any other address as the receiving party designates, by written notice received by the other parties, as its address for that purpose. Notices sent by facsimile transmission will be deemed to have been given when sent; notices sent by mail will be deemed to have been given three Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier service will be deemed to have been given when received. For purposes of Sections 2.2.2, Administrative Agent will be entitled to rely on telephonic instructions from any person that Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an authorized officer or employee of Borrower Representative, and Borrowers shall hold harmless Administrative Agent and each other Lender from any loss, cost, or expense resulting from any such reliance.

15.3.2 Electronic Communications.

(a) Notices and other communications to any Lender under this Agreement may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, but the foregoing does not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.2 if that Lender has notified Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative that it is incapable of receiving notices under Section 2.2 by electronic communication. Administrative Agent or any of Holdings and Borrowers may, in its respective sole discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it under this Agreement by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, and approval of any such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed by the sender and the intended recipient, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address will be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail, or other written acknowledgement); (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website will be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that the notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; and (iii) for both clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 15.3.2(b), any notice, e-mail or other communication that is not sent during the normal business hours of the intended recipient will be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the intended recipient.

15.4 Computations. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, that determination or calculation will, to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, but if Borrower Representative notifies Administrative Agent that Borrowers wish to amend any covenant in Section 10 or 11.12 (or any related definition) to eliminate or to take into account the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of that covenant (or if Administrative Agent notifies Borrower Representative that the Required Lenders wish to amend Section 10 or 11.12 (or any related definition) for that purpose), then Borrowers’ compliance with that covenant will be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either the applicable notice under this Section 15.4 is withdrawn or the applicable covenant (or related definition) is amended in a manner satisfactory to Borrowers and the Required Lenders.

101

15.5 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, shall pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, Attorney Costs, Taxes and Other Taxes) in connection with the preparation, execution, syndication, delivery and administration (including perfection and protection of any Collateral and the costs of IntraLinks (or other similar service), if applicable) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other documents provided for in this Agreement or delivered or to be delivered under or in connection with this Agreement (including any amendment, supplement, or waiver to any Loan Document), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated, including, without limitation, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred pursuant to Section 10.2, and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, Attorney Costs, Taxes, and any Other Taxes) incurred by Administrative Agent and each Lender after an Event of Default in connection with the collection of the Obligations or the enforcement of this Agreement the other Loan Documents or any such other documents or during any workout, restructuring, or negotiations in respect thereof. In addition, each Loan Party shall pay, and shall save and hold harmless Administrative Agent and the Lenders from all liability for, any fees of Borrowers’ auditors in connection with any reasonable exercise by Administrative Agent and the Lenders of their rights pursuant to Section 10.2. All Obligations provided for in this Section 15.5 will survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, and termination of this Agreement.

15.6 Assignments; Participations.

15.6.1 Assignments.

(a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of that Lender’s Loans and Commitments, with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower Representative (which consent of Borrower Representative may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but (i) no such consent of any kind is required for an assignment (A) by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (B) to an Eligible Assignee, or (C) prior to the completion of the primary syndication of the Commitments as determined by Monroe Capital, and (ii) no assignment may be made to a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party. Except as Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, any such assignment must be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 (which minimum will be $250,000 if the assignment is to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender) or, if less, the remaining Commitment and Loans held by the assigning Lender. Borrowers and Administrative Agent will be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Administrative Agent has received and accepted an effective assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed, delivered, and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500. No assignment may be made to any Person if at the time of that assignment Borrowers would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 7.6 or Section 8 to the Assignee than Borrowers are then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under that section (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, Borrowers will not be required to pay any such greater amounts). Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 15.6.1 will be treated as the sale of a participation under Section 15.6.2. Borrower Representative will be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent under this Agreement unless Borrower Representative has expressly objected to that assignment within five Business Days after notice thereof.

102

(b) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) the Assignee will be deemed automatically to have become a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to that Assignee pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, will have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to that Assignment Agreement, will be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations under this Agreement. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) one or more Notes in accordance with Section 3.1 to reflect the amounts assigned to that Assignee and the amounts, if any, retained by the assigning Lender. Each such Note will be dated the effective date of the applicable assignment. Upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any such Note, the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower Representative any applicable prior Note held by it.

(c) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of that Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 15.6.1 will not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest. No such pledge or assignment of a security interest will release a Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for that Lender as a party to this Agreement.

15.6.2 Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, Commitments or other interests under this Agreement (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) that Lender’s obligations under this Agreement will remain unchanged for all purposes; (b) Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with that Lender in connection with that Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and (c) all amounts payable by Borrowers will be determined as if that Lender had not sold that participation and will be paid directly to that Lender. No Participant will have any direct or indirect voting rights under this Agreement except with respect to any event described in Section 15.1 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which that Lender enters into with any Participant. Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant will be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, but that right of set-off is subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders shall share with each Participant, as provided in Section 7.5. Participant will be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.6 and Section 8 as if it were a Lender (but on the date of the participation no Participant will be entitled to any greater compensation pursuant to Section 7.6 or Section 8 than would have been paid to the participating Lender on that date if no participation had been sold, and each Participant must comply with Section 7.6.4(a) as if it were an Assignee). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), which Participant Register shall be made available to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

103

15.7 Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain, and deliver a copy to Borrower Representative upon written request, a copy of each Assignment Agreement 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 from time to time and whether that Lender is the original Lender or the Assignee. No assignment will be effective unless and until the Assignment Agreement is accepted and registered in the Register. All records of transfer of a Lender’s interest in the Register will be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the ownership of the interests in the Loans. Administrative Agent will not incur any liability of any kind with respect to any Lender with respect to the maintenance of the Register. It is the intention that the Loans and Commitments be treated as registered obligations and in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code, and that the right, title, and interest of the Lenders in and to those Loans and Commitments be transferable only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

15.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and each Note is a contract made under and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within that state, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

104

15.9 Confidentiality. As required by federal law and Administrative Agent’s policies and practices, Administrative Agent may need to obtain, verify, and record certain customer identification information and documentation in connection with opening or maintaining accounts, or establishing or continuing to provide services. Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts Administrative Agent or that Lender applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain as confidential all information provided to them by any Loan Party and designated as confidential, except that Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any information as follows: (a) to Persons employed or engaged by Administrative Agent or that Lender or that Lender’s Affiliates or Approved Funds in evaluating, approving, structuring, or administering the Loans and the Commitments; (b) to any assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply with the covenant contained in this Section 15.9 (and any such assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose any such information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in clause (a) of this Section 15.9); (c) as required or requested by any federal or state regulatory authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association, or as reasonably believed by Administrative Agent or that Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena, or legal or administrative order or process, but Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, shall (i) use reasonable efforts to give the applicable Loan Party written notice prior to disclosing the information to the extent permitted by that requirement, request, court decree, subpoena, or legal or administrative order or process, and (ii) disclose only that portion of the confidential information as Administrative Agent or that Lender reasonably believes, or as counsel for Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, advises Administrative Agent or that Lender, that it must disclose pursuant to that requirement; (d) as Administrative Agent or that Lender reasonably believes, or on the advice of Administrative Agent’s or that Lender’s counsel, is required by law; (e) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents or in connection with any litigation to which Administrative Agent or that Lender is a party; (f) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to that Lender; (g) to that Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors as to which that information has been identified as confidential; or (h) if that information ceases to be confidential through no fault of Administrative Agent or any Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers consent to the publication by Administrative Agent or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements. If any provision of any confidentiality agreement, non-disclosure agreement, or other similar agreement between any Borrower and any Lender conflicts with or contradicts this Section 15.9 with respect to the treatment of confidential information, then this Section 15.9 will supersede all such prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties.

15.10 Severability. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement is to be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, that provision will be ineffective to the extent of that prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of that provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

105

15.11 Nature of Remedies. All Obligations of the Loan Parties and rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressed in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document are in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

15.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of all such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof (except as relates to the fees described in Section 5.2) and any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by the Loan Parties of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs, or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

15.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts. Each such counterpart will be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts will together constitute but one and the same Agreement. Receipt of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission will constitute effective delivery thereof. Electronic records of executed Loan Documents maintained by the Lenders will be deemed to be originals.

15.14 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds Borrowers, the Lenders, Administrative Agent, and their respective successors and assigns and will inure to the benefit of Borrowers, the Lenders, and Administrative Agent and the successors and assigns of the Lenders and Administrative Agent. No other Person is or is intended to be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. No Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or Obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender.

15.15 Captions. Section captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not affect the construction of this Agreement.

15.16 Customer Identification—USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and Monroe Capital (each for itself and not on behalf of any other party) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow that Lender or Monroe Capital, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

15.17 Indemnification by Loan Parties. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the agreement to extend the Commitments provided under this Agreement, each of Holdings and each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate, and hold harmless Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of the officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents, and Approved Funds of Administrative Agent and each Lender (each, a “Lender Party”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses, including Attorney Costs (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Lender Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any tender offer, merger, purchase of capital securities, purchase of assets (including the Related Transaction) or other similar transaction financed or proposed to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any of the Loans; (b) the use, handling, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any Hazardous Substance at any property owned or leased by any Loan Party; (c) any violation of any Environmental Laws with respect to conditions at any property owned or leased by any Loan Party or the operations conducted thereon; (d) the investigation, cleanup or remediation of offsite locations at which any Loan Party or their respective predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly disposed of Hazardous Substances; or (e) the execution, delivery, performance, or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any of the Lender Parties, in each case except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising on account of the applicable Lender Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking is unenforceable for any reason, each of Holdings and each Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. All obligations provided for in this Section 15.17 will survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or any modification, release, or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents and termination of this Agreement.

106

15.18 Non-Liability of Lenders.

(a) The relationship between Borrowers on the one hand and the Lenders and Administrative Agent on the other hand is solely that of borrower and lender. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Loan Party to review or inform any Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of any Loan Party’s business or operations. Each of Holdings and each Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any liability to any Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission, or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that those losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought.

(b) No Lender Party will be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement. No Lender Party will have any liability with respect to, and each of Holdings and each Borrower, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue for, any special, punitive, exemplary, indirect, or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).

107

(c) Each Loan Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. No joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Loan Parties and the Lenders.

15.19 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. Any litigation based hereon, or arising out of, under, or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, will be brought and maintained exclusively in the courts of the State of New York or in any federal court sitting in the borough of Manhattan, but nothing in this Agreement will be deemed or operate to preclude Administrative Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction. Each of Holdings and each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of the federal courts sitting in the borough of Manhattan for the purpose of any such litigation as set forth above. Each of Holdings and each Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of New York. Each of Holdings and each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it now has or hereafter might have to the laying of venue of any such litigation brought in any such court referred to above and any claim that any such litigation has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

15.20 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Borrower, Holdings, Administrative Agent, and each Lender hereby waives any right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding to enforce or defend any rights under this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, and any amendment, instrument, document, or agreement delivered or which might in the future be delivered in connection with this Agreement or therewith or arising from any lending relationship existing in connection with any of the foregoing, and agrees that any such action or proceeding will be tried before a court and not before a jury.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement, or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in that Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

15.22 Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements 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): 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.

15.23 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more benefit plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement,

109

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party ahereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

15.24 ABL Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, (a) the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent in favor of the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the exercise of any right related to any Collateral shall be subject, in each case, to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, and (b) in the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, on the one hand, and the terms and provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the terms and provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall continue.

Section 16

JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY

16.1 Applicability of Terms. Each Borrower and each Person comprising a Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements, and other terms contained in this Agreement are applicable to and binding upon each Person comprising a Borrower unless expressly otherwise stated in this Agreement.

16.2 Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower is jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations of each other Borrower, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the proceeds or other benefits of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement or the manner in which Borrowers, Administrative Agent, or any Lender accounts therefor in their respective books and records.

16.3 Benefits and Best Interests. Each Borrower acknowledges that it will enjoy significant benefits from the business conducted by each other Borrower because of, inter alia, their combined ability to bargain with other Persons including without limitation their ability to receive the Loans and other credit extensions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which would not have been available to any Borrower acting alone. Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest to procure the credit facilities contemplated under this Agreement, with the credit support of each other Borrower as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

16.4 Accommodations. Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders have advised each Borrower that it is unwilling to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and make available the credit facilities extended hereby or thereby to any Borrower unless each Borrower agrees, among other things, to be jointly and severally liable for the due and proper payment of the Obligations of each other Borrower. Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest and in pursuit of its purposes that it so induce the Lenders to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement and the other documents executed in connection with this Agreement (a) because of the desirability to each Borrower of the credit facilities under this Agreement and the interest rates and the modes of borrowing available under this Agreement and under those other documents; (b) because each Borrower might engage in transactions jointly with other Borrowers; and (c) because each Borrower might require, from time to time, access to funds under this Agreement for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. Each Borrower, individually, expressly understands, agrees, and acknowledges that the credit facilities contemplated under this Agreement would not be made available on the terms of this Agreement in the absence of the collective credit of all the Borrowers, and the joint and several liability of all the Borrowers. Accordingly, each Borrower acknowledges that the benefit of the accommodations made under this Agreement to the Borrowers, as a whole, constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless of the amount of the indebtedness actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount of credit provided to, or the amount of collateral provided by, any one Borrower.

16.5 Maximum Amount. To the extent that applicable law otherwise would render the full amount of the joint and several obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable, that Person’s obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents will be limited to the maximum amount that does not result in any such invalidity or unenforceability, but each Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents will be presumptively valid and enforceable to their fullest extent in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as if this Section 16 were not a part of this Agreement.

111

16.6 Joint Liability Payments. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 16 of all or any of the Obligations (a “Joint Liability Payment”) that, taking into account all other Joint Liability Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by those Joint Liability Payments in the same proportion that that Person’s Allocable Amount (as determined immediately prior to those Joint Liability Payments) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Borrower as determined immediately prior to the making of those Joint Liability Payments, then, following payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations not then asserted) and the termination of the Commitments, that Borrower will be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of that excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to the applicable Joint Liability Payments. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower is equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from that Borrower under this Section 16 without rendering that claim voidable or avoidable under § 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.

16.7 Financial Condition. Each Borrower assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each other Borrower, and any and all endorsers and/or guarantors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of each other Borrower’s Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment by each other Borrower of its Obligations, and each Borrower agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has or will have any duty to advise that Borrower of information known to Administrative Agent or any Lender regarding any such condition or any such circumstances or to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine. If Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Borrower, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender will be under any obligation to update any such information or to provide any such information to that Borrower or any other Person on any subsequent occasion.

16.8 Administrative Agent Authorizations. Subject to Section 15.1, Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, to do any and all of the following: (a) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, renew, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, Obligations incurred by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter executed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party and delivered to Administrative Agent or any Lender; (b) accept partial payments on an Obligation incurred by any Borrower; (c) take and hold security or collateral for the payment of an Obligation incurred by any Borrower under this Agreement or for the payment of any guaranties of an Obligation incurred by any Borrower or other liabilities of any Borrower and exchange, enforce, waive, and release any such security or collateral; (d) apply any such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, determines; and (e) settle, release, compromise, collect, or otherwise liquidate an Obligation incurred by any Borrower and any security or collateral therefor in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of any other Borrower. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Administrative Agent has the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from a Borrower or any other source, and any such determination will be binding on each Borrower. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of an Obligation incurred by any Borrower as Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion without affecting the validity or enforceability of the Obligations of any other Borrower. Nothing in this Section 16 modifies any right of any Borrower or any Lender to consent to any amendment or modification of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.

112

16.9 Unconditional Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, its obligations under this Agreement are and will be unconditional, irrespective of (a) the absence of any attempt to collect an Obligation incurred by any Borrower from any Borrower or any guarantor or other action to enforce the same; (b) failure by Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for an Obligation incurred by any Borrower; (c) any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s election in any such proceeding of the application of § 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (d) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Borrower as debtor-in-possession under § 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (e) the disallowance, under § 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s claim(s) for repayment of any of an Obligation incurred by any Borrower; or (f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor unless that legal or equitable discharge or defense is that of a Borrower in its capacity as a Borrower.

16.10 Notices. Any notice given by Borrower Representative under this Agreement will constitute and be deemed to be notice given by all Borrowers, jointly and severally. Notice given by Administrative Agent or any Lender to Borrower Representative under this Agreement or pursuant to any other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or of any applicable other Loan Document will constitute notice to each Borrower. The knowledge of any Borrower will be imputed to all Borrowers and any consent by Borrower Representative or any Borrower will constitute the consent of, and will bind, all Borrowers.

16.11 No Impairment of Obligations or Limitation of Liability. This Section 16 is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 16 is intended to or will impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. Nothing contained in this Section 16 limits the liability of any Borrower to pay the credit facilities made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, fees, and expenses with respect thereto for which that Borrower is primarily liable.

113

16.12 Rights of Contribution and Indemnification. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification under this Section 16 constitute assets of each Borrower to which any such contribution and indemnification is owing. The rights of any indemnifying Borrower against the other Borrowers under this Section 16 will be exercisable upon the full and payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

16.13 Subrogation. No payment made by or for the account of a Borrower, including, without limitation, (a) a payment made by that Borrower on behalf of an Obligation of another Borrower or (b) a payment made by any other Person under any guaranty, will entitle that Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from that other Borrower or from or out of property of that other Borrower and that Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy against that other Borrower or any property of that other Borrower by reason of any performance of that Borrower of its joint and several obligations under this Agreement, until, in each case, the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations not then asserted).

Section

17 Appointment of Borrower Representative.

17.1 Appointment. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably (until Payment in Full or a change pursuant to Section 17.4) appoints and constitutes Borrower Representative as its agent to request and receive the proceeds of advances in respect of the Loans (and to otherwise act on behalf of that Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) from the Lenders in the name or on behalf of that Borrower. Administrative Agent may disburse those proceeds to the bank account of Borrower Representative (or any other Borrower) without notice to any other Borrower or any other Loan Party.

17.2 Additional Appointments. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably (until Payment in Full or a change pursuant to Section 17.4) appoints and constitutes the Borrower Representative as its agent to (a) receive statements of account and all other notices from Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) execute and deliver Compliance Certificates and all other notices, certificates and documents to be executed and/or delivered by any Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and (c) otherwise act on behalf of that Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

17.3 Reliance. The authorizations contained in this Section 17 are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until Payment in Full or a change pursuant to Section 17.4, and Administrative Agent may rely on any notice, request, information supplied by the Borrower Representative, every document executed by the Borrower Representative, every agreement made by the Borrower Representative or other action taken by the Borrower Representative in respect of any Borrower or other Loan Party as if the same were supplied, made or taken by that Borrower or Loan Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the failure of one or more Borrowers or other Loan Parties to join in the execution of any writing in connection with this Agreement will not relieve any Borrower or other Loan Party from obligations in respect of that writing.

114

17.4 Termination or Change of Borrower Representative. No purported termination of or change in the appointment of Borrower Representative as agent will be effective without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.
