(g) the fact that each of the representations and warranties contained in Article VII hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of materiality qualifiers) with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the date of the making, conversion or continuation of such Loan, or the issuance of the Letter of Credit, except to the extent that any thereof expressly relate to an earlier date.

At no time shall Borrowers request that Eurodollar Loans be outstanding for more than four (4) different Interest Periods at any time, and, if Base Rate Loans are outstanding, then LIBOR Loans shall be limited to one (1) Interest Period at any time.

Each request by Borrowers for the making of a Loan, conversion of a Base Rate Loan or Overnight LIBOR Loan or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan or for the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Credit Parties as of the date of such request as to the facts specified in (e) and (g) above.

Each request for a Eurodollar Loan shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrowers and Borrowers shall indemnify Agent and the Lenders against any loss or expense incurred by Agent or the Lenders as a result of any failure by Borrowers to consummate such transaction including, without limitation, any loss in accordance with Section 2.4 (including loss of anticipated profits) or expense incurred by reason of liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Lenders to fund such Loan. A certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense submitted by the Lenders to Borrowers shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Borrowers’ obligations to pay all or any portion of the Secured Debt or the Notes when due under the terms hereof is without setoff or counterclaim.

ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING, THE REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENT IS A DISCRETIONARY FACILITY FOR WHICH DEMAND FOR PAYMENT MAY BE MADE AT ANY TIME AND NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL REQUIRE ANY LENDER, AT ANY TIME, TO MAKE REVOLVING LOANS TO BORROWERS OR TO ISSUE LETTERS OF CREDIT OR SHALL PREVENT ANY LENDER FROM MAKING DEMAND AT ANY TIME IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, AND THE GRANTING AND AMOUNT OF ANY REVOLVING LOAN, THE ISSUANCE OF ANY LETTER OF CREDIT AND THE RIGHT TO MAKE DEMAND SHALL AT ALL TIMES BE IN EACH LENDER’S SOLE DISCRETION.

SECTION 2.3 PAYMENT ON NOTES, ETC.

(a) Time and Manner of Payments. All payments of principal, interest and commitment and other fees shall be made to Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Lenders. Agent shall maintain a record of (a) any principal, interest or other payment, and (b) the principal amount of the Base Rate Loans, Overnight LIBOR Loans and the Eurodollar Loans and all prepayments thereof and the applicable dates with respect thereto, by such method as such Agent may generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from Borrowers’ obligations with respect to the Secured Debt. The aggregate unpaid amount of Loans set forth on the records of Agent shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal and interest owing and unpaid on each Loan. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder, including without limitation any payment to be made on any Loan, shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Loan; provided, however, that with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, if the next succeeding Business Day falls in the succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day and the relevant Interest Period shall be adjusted accordingly.

(b) Application of Funds. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, any funds received by Agent or any Lender with respect to the Secured Debt shall be applied as follows:

(i) No Default. Subject to Section 2.7 hereof, if at the time any such funds are received hereunder (A) the Secured Debt has not been accelerated pursuant to Article IX, and (B) no Event of Default has occurred and be continuing (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall not have provided notice to a Borrower of its intention to apply the provisions of Section 2.3(b)(ii)), in the following manner: (a) first, to the following items (i), (ii) and (iii) below in such manner as Borrowers shall direct (except that Borrowers may not alter the division as between Lenders as set forth in subparts (ii) and (iii) below), or in the absence of such direction in the following order: (i) to the payment of all fees, charges and reimbursable expenses due and payable to Agent or a Lender under the Secured Debt, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents at such time; (ii) to the payment of all of the interest which shall be due and payable on the principal of the Secured Debt at the time of such payment in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage; (iii) to the payment of all obligations and liabilities of Borrowers under any Hedge Agreement entered into by Borrowers with Agent or any of the Lenders (or their respective affiliates) to the extent then due and payable; (b) second, subject to the provisions of Section 2.4 hereof and the fees set forth in Section 2.4, if applicable, to the payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans then outstanding in accordance with each Revolving Loan Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage, and (c) to Borrowers.

(ii) Post-Default. Notwithstanding and in lieu of Section 2.7 hereof, if the Debt has been accelerated pursuant to Article IX, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, has provided notice to a Borrower of its intention to apply the provisions of this Section 2.3(b)(ii)), then such funds received with respect to the Secured Debt shall be applied in the following manner: (A) first, to the payment or reimbursement of Agent for all costs, expenses, disbursements and losses owing pursuant to this Agreement which shall have been incurred or sustained by Agent or the Lenders in or incidental to the collection of the Secured Debt or the exercise, protection or enforcement by Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Lenders and Agent under this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents and in and towards the provision of adequate indemnity to Agent and any of Lenders against all taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of Agent or Lenders in and to such funds; (B) second, to the payment of all of the accrued but unpaid interest on the principal of the Loans in accordance with each Lender’s Aggregate Commitment Percentage; (C) third, pro rata to (i) the payment of principal of the Loans in accordance with each Lender’s Aggregate Commitment Percentage and (ii) the payment of all obligations and liabilities of any Borrower under any Hedge Agreement entered into by a Borrower with Agent or any of the Lenders (or their respective affiliates); (D) fourth, to the payment of any other amounts owing to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in accordance with each Lender’s Aggregate Commitment Percentage; (E) fifth, to the payment of any other Secured Debt to be allocated pro rata amongst the Lenders based on the amount of such Secured Debt outstanding, and (F) sixth, to Borrowers or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto.

(c) Weekly Settlement. In order to minimize the frequency of transfers of funds between Agent and the Lenders, advances and repayments of Loans will be settled according to the procedures described in this Section 2.3(c).

(i) Agent shall, once every seven (7) calendar days, or sooner, if so elected by Agent in its discretion, but in each case on a Business Day (each such day being a “Settlement Date”), distribute to each Lender a statement (the “Agent’s Report”) disclosing as of the immediately preceding Business Day, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of Loans outstanding as of such date (including Revolving Loans made by Agent under Section 2.3(c)(v) hereof), repayments and prepayments of principal received from Borrowers with respect to the Loans since the immediately preceding Agent’s Report, additional Loans made to Borrowers since the date of the immediately preceding Agent’s Report. Each Agent’s Report shall disclose the net amount (the “Settlement Amount”) due to or due from the Lenders to effect a Settlement of any Loan and the calculations therefor. Agent’s Report submitted to a Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due to or from such Lender to effect a Settlement of any Loan. If Agent’s Report discloses a net amount due from Agent to any Lender to effect the Settlement of any Loan, Agent, concurrently with the delivery of Agent’s Report to the Lenders, shall transfer, by wire transfer or otherwise, such amount to such Lender in funds immediately available to such Lender, in accordance with such Lender’s instructions. If Agent’s Report discloses a net amount due to Agent from any Lender to affect the Settlement of any Loan, then such Lender shall wire transfer such amount, in funds immediately available to Agent, as instructed by Agent. Such net amount due from a Lender to Agent shall be due on the Settlement Date if such Agent’s Report is received before 1:00 p.m. and such net amount shall be due on the first Business Day following the Settlement Date if such Agent’s Report is received after 1:00 p.m.

(ii) All funds advanced to Borrowers by Agent or a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) shall for all purposes be treated as a Loan made by such Lender and all funds received by any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) shall for all purposes be treated as a repayment of the Loans made by such Lender.

(iii) In the event that any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership, or similar cases or proceedings in which Borrowers are a debtor prevent Agent or any Lender from making any Loan to effect a Settlement contemplated hereby, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, will make such dispositions and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such Loans, either by way of purchase of participations, distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation, or otherwise, as shall result in each Lender’s share of the outstanding Loans being equal to its Aggregate Commitment Percentage of all outstanding Loans.

(iv) Payments to effect a Settlement shall be made without set off, counterclaim or reduction of any kind. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to Agent at the aforesaid time and place the amount of the Settlement Amount due from such Lender (i) shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Settlement Amount and (ii) shall not impose upon such other Lender any liability with respect to such failure or refusal or otherwise increase the Commitment of such other Lender.

(v) Notwithstanding the notice requirements set forth in Section 2.2 above, but otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Agent may, in its sole discretion without conferring with the Revolving Loan Lenders but on their behalf, make Revolving Loans in an amount requested by Borrowers. Any such Revolving Loans so funded by Agent shall be deemed Revolving Loans made by Agent under its Revolving Credit Commitment, except for purposes of Section 2.5 hereof. Each Revolving Loan Lender’s obligation to fund its portion of any such Revolving Loan made by Agent will commence on the date such Revolving Loan is actually so made by Agent. However, until the date on which the Settlement of such Revolving Loan is required in accordance with this Section 2.3(c)(i) above, such obligation of the Revolving Loan Lender shall be satisfied by Agent making such Revolving Loan. So long as Borrowers shall have requested the Revolving Loan, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the making of such Revolving Loans by Agent under this Section 2.3(c)(v) shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement as if each such Revolving Loan was made in response to a notice requesting such Revolving Loan made in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof. All actions taken by Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.3(c)(v) shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Settlement with any Revolving Loan Lender of any Revolving Loan funded by Agent under this Section 2.3(c)(v), interest payable on such Revolving Loan otherwise allocable to such Revolving Loan Lender shall be for the sole account of Agent and payment of principal on such Revolving Loan otherwise allocable to such Revolving Loan Lender shall be for the sole account of Agent.

SECTION 2.4 PREPAYMENT. Borrowers shall have the right at any time or from time to time to prepay all or any part of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, to be applied pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3(b) hereof, plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment. Borrowers shall give Agent notice of prepayment of any Base Rate Loan or Overnight LIBOR Loan by not later than 12:00 P.M. on the Business Day such prepayment is to be made and written notice of the prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan not later than 1:00 P.M. two (2) Business Days before the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made. Prepayments of Base Rate Loans shall be without any premium or penalty, other than any prepayment fees, penalties or other charges that may be contained in any Hedge Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contrary contained herein, Borrowers hereby agree to give Agent at least 10 Business Days prior notice of a prepayment of the Secured Debt in full in connection with a termination of this Agreement.

In any case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan, Borrowers agree that if the Eurodollar Rate, as determined as of 11:00 A.M. (London time), two (2) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of such Eurodollar Loan (hereinafter, “Prepayment LIBOR”), shall be lower than the last Eurodollar Rate previously determined for such Eurodollar Loan with respect to which prepayment is intended to be made (hereinafter, “Last LIBOR”), then Borrowers shall, upon written notice by Agent, promptly pay to Agent, for the account of each of the Lenders, in immediately available funds, a prepayment fee equal to the product of (a) a rate (the “Prepayment Rate”) that shall be equal to the difference between the Last LIBOR and the Prepayment LIBOR, times (b) all or such part of the principal amounts of the Notes as relate to the Eurodollar Loan to be prepaid, times (c) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the number of days in the period commencing with the date on which such prepayment is to be made to that date which coincides with the last day of the Interest Period previously established when the Eurodollar Loan, that is to be prepaid, was made, by (ii) three hundred sixty (360). In addition, Borrowers shall immediately pay directly to Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the amount of any additional reasonable costs or expenses (including, without limitation, cost of telex, wires, or cables) incurred by Agent or the Lenders in connection with the prepayment, upon Borrowers’ receipt of a written statement from Agent. Each prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan shall be in the aggregate principal sum of not less than $250,000, increased by increments of $50,000. In the event Borrowers cancel a proposed Eurodollar Loan subsequent to the delivery to Agent of the notice of the proposed date, aggregate amount and initial Interest Period of such Loan, but prior to the drawdown of funds thereunder, such cancellation shall be treated as a prepayment subject to the aforementioned prepayment fee.

SECTION 2.5 [RESERVED].

SECTION 2.6 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES; DEFAULT RATE. With the exception of Base Rate Loans, interest on Loans, Related Expenses and commitment and other fees and charges hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty (360) days and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed. With respect to Base Rate Loans, interest shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty-five (365) days or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if an Event of Default shall occur hereunder, at the option of Agent or the Required Lenders (but automatically with respect to an Event of Default under Section 8.14 hereof), (a) the principal of each Loan and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until paid, at the Default Rate; and (b) the fee for the aggregate undrawn face amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit shall be increased by two percent (2%). In no event shall the rate of interest hereunder exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

SECTION 2.7 MANDATORY PAYMENT.

(a) If the Revolving Credit Exposure at any time exceeds the Revolving Borrowing Limit, Borrowers shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the next Business Day, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans sufficient to cause the Revolving Credit Exposure not to be in excess of the Revolving Borrowing Limit (without a permanent commitment reduction).

(b) [Reserved].

(c) If any Credit Party commences and completes a public or private offering of equity or debt securities (other than (i) a debt offering permitted under Section 5.8 hereof, or (iii) an equity or debt offering by any Credit Party to another Credit Party), then 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of any such equity or debt offering shall be paid, within ten (10) days of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Company, to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, to be applied as a prepayment of the Loans. The provisions of this Section 2.7(c) shall not be understood to limit the rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) If any Credit Party sells or otherwise disposes of any assets (other than assets specifically permitted to be sold or disposed pursuant to Section 5.12 to the extent they have not been made specifically subject to this Section 2.7(d) under the provisions of Section 5.12), then the Net Cash Proceeds in an amount in excess of $25,000 of such sale or disposition shall be paid, within ten (10) days of the receipt of such proceeds, by Borrowers to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, to be applied as a prepayment on the Loans; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist as a result thereof, Borrowers shall not be required to prepay the Loans with any such Net Cash Proceeds to the extent that Borrowers indicate to the Agent that they (or any Credit Party) intend to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within 270 days of receipt thereof in assets used in the business of any Company and which will be subject to a first priority Lien of Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, subject only to Permitted Liens. To the extent any Net Cash Proceeds are not so reinvested within 270 days of receipt thereof, Borrowers shall make the prepayment otherwise provided by this Section 2.7(d). The provisions of this Section 2.7(d) shall not be understood to limit the rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders for any breach of the provisions of Section 5.12 hereof.

(e) Upon receipt by Agent or a Company of any insurance proceeds (other than business interruption insurance) (“Insurance Proceeds”), then 100% of the net Insurance Proceeds shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist as a result thereof and the aggregate of such Insurance Proceeds for any occurrence is less than $500,000, Borrowers may use such Insurance Proceeds for the purpose of replacing, repairing, or restoring the insured property; provided, further, however, that if such funds have not been applied to such replacing, repairing or restoring within 270 days of the receipt thereof, Borrowers shall pay any remaining portion of such sums to Agent for application to the Loans.

(f) Upon receipt by Agent or a Credit Party of any proceeds (other than Insurance Proceeds) resulting from any condemnation, seizure, taking, confiscation or requisition for use of any property of a Credit Party, by the exercise of the power of eminent domain or otherwise, then 100% of such net proceeds shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist as a result thereof and the aggregate of such proceeds for any occurrence is less than $500,000, Borrowers may use such proceeds for the purpose of replacing, repairing, or restoring such property; provided, further, however, that if such funds have not been applied to such replacing, repairing or restoring within 270 days of the receipt thereof, Borrowers shall pay any remaining portion of such sums to Agent for application to the Loans.

(g) Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.7 (other than subpart (a)) (unless subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(b)(ii) hereof) shall be applied to the prepayment in full of all outstanding Revolving Loans, which such prepayment shall not constitute a permanent reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitment. Any prepayment required to made under this Section 2.7 shall be subject to any fee or other charge in connection with any Hedge Agreement.

ARTICLE III. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO
LOANS; INCREASED CAPITAL; TAXES

SECTION 3.1 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, ETC.

(a) If, after the Closing Date, (i) the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority, or (ii) the compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

(A) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Taxes and Excluded Taxes which are governed by Section 3.2 hereof);

(B) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection (a), such Lender shall promptly notify Borrowing Agent (with a copy to the Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that, after the Closing Date, the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit, to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such corporation with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon submission by such Lender to Borrowing Agent (with a copy to the Agent) of a written request therefor (which shall include the method for calculating such amount), the Borrowers shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c) For purposes of this Section 3.1, the Dodd-Frank Act, any requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) under Basel III, and any rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines and directives adopted, promulgated or implemented in connection with any of the foregoing, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented, are deemed to have been introduced and adopted after the Closing Date.

(d) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.1 submitted by any Lender to Borrowing Agent (with a copy to the Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining any such additional amounts, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole discretion) shall deem applicable. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 3.2 TAX LAW, ETC.

(a) All payments made by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes or Other Taxes. If any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to the Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent or such Lender (after deducting, withholding and payment of all Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in the Loan Documents.

(b) Whenever any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld and paid by a Credit Party, such Credit Party shall timely withhold and pay such taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities. As promptly as possible thereafter, Borrowing Agent shall send to the Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Credit Party showing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to the Agent or such Lender. If such Credit Party shall fail to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Credit Party and the Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent and the appropriate Lenders on demand for any incremental Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by the Agent or such Lender as a result of any such failure.

(c) Each Lender that is not (i) a citizen or resident of the United States of America, (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of America (or any jurisdiction thereof), or (iii) an estate or trust that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (any such Person, a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, W-8BEN, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement with respect to such interest and two copies of a Form W-8BEN or W-BEN-E, as applicable, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Credit Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement or such other Loan Document. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms or appropriate replacements promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrowing Agent at any time it determines that such Lender is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Borrowing Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection (c), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection (c) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(d) Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrowing Agent and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowing Agent or the Agent) executed copies of IRS Form W-9, as applicable, certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(e) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrowing Agent and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrowing Agent or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrowing Agent or Agent as may be necessary for Borrowing Agent and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.2(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) The agreements in this Section 3.2 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 3.3 FUNDING LOSSES. The Borrowers agree to indemnify each Lender, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by a Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after such Borrower has given a notice (including a written or verbal notice that is subsequently revoked) requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by a Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after such Borrower has given a notice (including a written or verbal notice that is subsequently revoked) thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or (d) any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan or an Overnight LIBOR Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or (e) any compulsory assignment of such Lender’s interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement. Such indemnification shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amounts so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the appropriate London interbank market, along with any administration fee charged by such Lender. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 submitted to Borrowing Agent (with a copy to the Agent) by any Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 3.4 EURODOLLAR RATE AND OVERNIGHT LIBOR RATE LENDING UNLAWFUL; INABILITY TO DETERMINE RATE.

(a) If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to Borrowing Agent and the Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error) that, after the Closing Date, (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or (ii) any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make or continue any Loan as, or to convert (if permitted pursuant to this Agreement) any Loan into a Eurodollar Loan or Overnight LIBOR Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or convert any such Eurodollar Loan or Overnight LIBOR Loan shall, upon such determination, be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding Eurodollar Loans and Overnight LIBOR Loans payable to such Lender shall automatically convert (if conversion is permitted under this Agreement) into a Base Rate Loan, or be repaid (if no conversion is permitted) at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by law or such assertion.

(b) If the Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate or Overnight LIBOR Rate with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan for any requested Interest Period or any proposed Overnight LIBOR Loan for any Overnight LIBOR Interest Period, as the case may be, or that (i) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan, or (ii) the Overnight LIBOR Rate for any Overnight LIBOR Interest Period with respect to a proposed Overnight LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify Borrowing Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain such Eurodollar Loan or Overnight LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrowing Agent may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of such Eurodollar Loan or such Overnight LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein.

SECTION 3.5 DISCRETION OF LENDERS AS TO MATTERS OF FUNDING. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of such Lender’s Loans in any manner such Lender deems to be appropriate; it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan during the applicable Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

SECTION 6.1 SECURITY INTEREST IN COLLATERAL. In consideration of and as security for the full and complete payment of all of the Secured Debt, each Credit Party hereby creates and provides in favor of Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, and grants to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in and an assignment of the Collateral of such Credit Party. The “Collateral” of any Credit Party shall mean, collectively,

(a) all Accounts, all Chattel Paper, all Deposit Accounts, all Documents, all Equipment, all fixtures, all General Intangibles, all Instruments, all Inventory, all Investment Property, all letters of credit, all Letter of Credit Rights, all Receivables, all Intellectual Property, all Assigned Contracts and all Supporting Obligations in which such Credit Party now has or hereafter acquires any rights or any power to transfer rights;

(b) all Commercial Tort Claims in which such Credit Party now has rights or any power to transfer rights and which are described on Schedule 7.4 hereto, as may be amended from time to time;

(c) all property, tangible or intangible, in which such Credit Party now has or hereafter acquires any rights or any power to transfer rights and which now or hereafter is in the control (by Document or otherwise) or possession of the Lenders and Agent or any of them or is owed by the Lenders and Agent or any of them to such Credit Party, including, without limitation, any Cash Collateral Account and all other Deposit Accounts; and

(d) all accessions to and Products of all or any part of the goods hereinbefore described, all replacements and substitutions for, and all additions to, and all Proceeds of, all or any part of the property described in the foregoing clauses (a), (b), and (c) or any other accessions, Products, replacements, substitutions, additions, or Proceeds in which such Credit Party now has or hereafter acquires any rights or any power to transfer rights.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Lien granted under this Section 6.1 attach to or be deemed to be created in any Excluded Property.

SECTION 6.2 AFTER ACQUIRED PROPERTY. As to any property that would be included among the Collateral of any Credit Party on the date hereof but for the fact that such property does not presently exist or the fact that such Credit Party does not presently have any rights in such property or any power to transfer rights therein, such property shall be included among the Collateral of such Credit Party, and Agent’s security interest in such property shall automatically attach thereto, immediately when such property comes into existence and such Credit Party acquires any rights therein or any rights to transfer rights therein, in each case without the making or doing of any further or other act or thing. If, at any time after the date hereof, any Credit Party shall acquire any rights or any power to transfer rights in any Commercial Tort Claim, or if the UCC shall be amended to include within its scope any property that, prior to giving effect to such amendment, would not be included among the Collateral of such Credit Party, then, and in each such case, such Credit Party shall forthwith notify Agent and shall execute and deliver to Agent (or otherwise authenticate if Agent shall require) such security agreements and other writings or records as Agent shall require, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, for the purpose of granting in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, as security for the Secured Debt, a perfected first priority security interest in and assignment of such Commercial Tort Claim or other property and all proceeds thereof, free and clear of any Lien other than any in favor of Agent. Upon the granting of such security interest, such Commercial Tort Claim or other property, as the case may be, and all Proceeds thereof shall be deemed to be included among the Collateral of such Credit Party. No Credit Party shall open any Commodity Account, Deposit Account, or Securities Account, other than any petty cash accounts, payroll accounts, or trust accounts, unless, prior to or concurrently with the opening thereof, such Credit Party and the Person by which or with which such Commodity Account, Deposit Account or Securities Account, as the case may be, is to be maintained shall have entered into a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and the Lenders.

SECTION 6.3 COLLECTIONS AND RECEIPT OF PROCEEDS BY THE CREDIT PARTIES. Prior to the exercise by Agent and the Lenders of their rights under Article IX of this Agreement, both (i) the lawful collection and enforcement of all of each Credit Party’s Receivables, and (ii) the lawful receipt and retention by each Credit Party of all Proceeds of all of such Credit Party’s Receivables and Inventory shall be as the agent of the Lenders. Following notice from Agent to a Borrower after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, a Cash Collateral Account shall be opened by each Credit Party at the main office of Agent and substantially all such lawful collections of such Credit Party’s Receivables and such Proceeds of such Credit Party’s Receivables and Inventory shall be remitted daily by such Credit Party to Agent in the form in which they are received by such Credit Party, either by mailing or by delivering such collections and Proceeds to Agent, appropriately endorsed for deposit in the Cash Collateral Account. No Credit Party shall commingle such collections or Proceeds with any of such Credit Party’s other funds or property, but shall hold such collections and Proceeds separate and apart therefrom upon an express trust for Agent for the benefit of the Lenders. Agent may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, apply all or any portion of the account balance in the Cash Collateral Account as a credit against the Secured Debt in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3(b) hereof. If, as a result of collections or Proceeds, a credit balance exists in favor of the a Credit Party and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such credit balance shall be disbursed on a daily basis to an interest bearing Deposit Account reasonably acceptable to Agent maintained by such Credit Party which shall be subject to a control agreement consistent with the provisions of this sentence, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, but prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the funds within which may be withdrawn by such Credit Party. For the avoidance of doubt, after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, any funds then in such account shall not be subject to withdrawal by any Credit Party but shall be remitted to the Cash Collateral Account on a daily basis for application on a daily basis to the Secured Debt in accordance with Section 2.3(b) hereof. If any remittance shall be dishonored, or if, upon final payment, any claim with respect thereto shall be made against Agent on its warranties of collection, Agent may charge the amount of such item against the Cash Collateral Account or any other Deposit Account maintained by a Credit Party with Agent or with any other Lender, and, in any event, retain the same and such Credit Party’s interest therein as additional security for the Secured Debt. Agent may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, release funds from the Cash Collateral Account to the applicable Credit Party for use in such Credit Party’s business. The balance in the Cash Collateral Account may be withdrawn by the Credit Parties upon termination of this Agreement and payment in full of all of the Secured Debt. Following notice from Agent to a Borrower after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Credit Party shall cause substantially all remittances representing collections and Proceeds of Collateral to be mailed to a lock box selected by Agent, to which Agent shall have access for the processing of such items in accordance with the provisions, terms and conditions of Agent’s customary lock box agreement.

Agent shall at all times have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, in addition to the rights and remedies of a secured party provided elsewhere within this Agreement, in any other writing executed by any Credit Party or otherwise provided by law. Agent, or Agent’s designated agent, is hereby constituted and appointed each Credit Party’s attorney-in-fact with authority and power to endorse any and all instruments, documents, and chattel paper upon such Credit Party’s failure to do so. Such authority and power, being coupled with an interest, shall be (a) irrevocable until all of the Secured Debt is paid, (b) exercisable by Agent at any time and without any request upon any Credit Party by Agent to so endorse, and (c) exercisable in Agent’s name or any Credit Party’s name. Each Credit Party hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and any and all other similar notices with respect thereto, regardless of the form of any endorsement thereof. Neither Agent nor the Lenders shall be bound or obligated to take any action to preserve any rights therein against prior parties thereto.

SECTION 6.4 COLLECTIONS AND RECEIPT OF PROCEEDS BY AGENT. Each Credit Party hereby constitutes and appoints Agent, or Agent’s designated agent, as such Credit Party’s attorney-in-fact to exercise, at any time, all or any of the following powers which, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until the complete and full payment of all of the Secured Debt:

(a) to receive, retain, acquire, take, endorse, assign, deliver, accept, and deposit, in Agent’s name or such Credit Party’s name, any and all of such Credit Party’s cash, instruments, chattel paper, documents, Proceeds of Receivables, Proceeds of Inventory, collection of Receivables, and any other writings relating to any of the Collateral;

(b) after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, to transmit to Account Debtors, on any or all of such Credit Party’s Receivables, notice of assignment to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders thereof and Agent’s, for the benefit of the Lenders, security interest therein and to request from such Account Debtors at any time, in Agent’s name or in such Credit Party’s name, information concerning such Credit Party’s Receivables and the amounts owing thereon;

(c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, to transmit to purchasers of any or all of such Credit Party’s Inventory, notice of Agent’s security interest therein, and to request from such purchasers at any time, in Agent’s name or in such Credit Party’s name, information concerning such Credit Party’s Inventory and the amounts owing thereon by such purchasers;

(d) after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, to notify and require Account Debtors on such Credit Party’s Receivables and purchasers of such Credit Party’s Inventory to make payment of their indebtedness directly to Agent;

(e) after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, to take or bring, in Agent’s name or such Credit Party’s name, all steps, actions, suits, or proceedings deemed by Agent necessary or desirable to effect the receipt, enforcement, and collection of the Collateral; and

(f) to accept all collections in any form relating to the Collateral, including remittances which may reflect deductions, and to deposit the same, into such Credit Party’s Cash Collateral Account or, at the option of Agent, to apply them as a payment against the Secured Debt in accordance with Section 2.3(b) hereof.

SECTION 6.5 USE OF INVENTORY AND EQUIPMENT. Unless otherwise prohibited by Agent and the Required Lenders after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Credit Party may (a) retain possession of and use its Inventory and Equipment in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or with the terms, conditions, or provisions of any policy of insurance thereon; (b) sell or lease its property consisting solely of Inventory in the ordinary course of business and other property as expressly permitted under this Agreement; provided, however, that a sale or lease in the ordinary course of business does not include a transfer in partial or total satisfaction of an Indebtedness, except for transfers in satisfaction of partial or total purchase money prepayments by a buyer in the ordinary course of such Credit Party’s business; and (c) use and consume any raw materials or supplies, the use and consumption of which are necessary or desirable in order to carry on such Credit Party’s business.

The provision for taxes on the books of each Company is adequate in all material respects for all years not closed by applicable statutes and for the current fiscal year.

SECTION 7.12 ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. Each Company and, as of the Closing Date, BRJ Seller, is in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws in all jurisdictions in which any Company and, as of the Closing Date, BRJ Seller, owns or operates, or has owned or operated, a facility or site, arranges or has arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes, accepts or has accepted for transport any hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes or holds or has held any interest in real property or otherwise except where the failure to comply with such Environmental Laws does not and would not reasonably be expected to cause or result in a Material Adverse Effect. No litigation or proceeding arising under, relating to or in connection with any Environmental Law is pending or, to the knowledge of each Company, threatened in writing, against any Company or, as of the Closing Date, BRJ Seller, that relates to, any real property or leased property in which any Company or, as of the Closing Date, BRJ Seller, holds or has held an interest except for such litigation or proceedings that do not and would not reasonably be expected to cause or result in a Material Adverse Effect. No release, threatened release or disposal of hazardous substances, hazardous waste, solid waste or other substances or wastes is occurring, or has occurred (other than those that are currently being cleaned up in accordance with Environmental Laws), on, under or to any real property in which any Company or, as of the Closing Date, BRJ Seller, holds any interest in violation of any Environmental Law except for such releases or disposals that do not and would not reasonably be expected to cause or result in a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Section, “litigation or proceeding” means any demand, claim, notice, suit, suit in equity, action, administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought by any governmental authority, private Person or otherwise.

SECTION 7.14 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS. Schedule 7.14 hereto identifies as of the date hereof each ERISA Plan sponsored or maintained by a Company or BRJ Seller. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) no ERISA Event has occurred or is expected to occur with respect to an ERISA Plan; (b) payment has been made of all amounts which a Controlled Group member is required, under applicable law or under the governing documents, to have been paid as a contribution to or a benefit under each ERISA Plan; (c) the liability of each Controlled Group member with respect to each ERISA Plan has been fully funded based upon reasonable and proper actuarial assumptions, has been fully insured, or has been fully reserved for on its financial statements to the extent required by GAAP; and (d) to our knowledge, no changes have occurred or are expected to occur that would cause an increase in the cost of providing benefits under any ERISA Plan. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a): (i) there has been no non-compliance by the ERISA Plan and any associated trust with the applicable requirements of Code Section 401(a), (ii) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have been amended to comply with all such requirements as currently in effect, other than those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be made within the “remedial amendment period” available under Code Section 401(b) (as extended under Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon which taxpayers may rely), (iii) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the associated trust qualifies under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any cash or deferred arrangement under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(k), unless the ERISA Plan was first adopted at a time for which the above-described “remedial amendment period” has not yet expired, (iv) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b), without regard to any retroactive amendment that may be made within the above-described “remedial amendment period”, and (v) no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise tax under Code Section 4972. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to any Pension Plan, the “accumulated benefit obligation” of Controlled Group members with respect to the Pension Plan (as determined in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”) does not exceed the fair market value of Pension Plan assets. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Controlled Group Member has or has had in the past, an obligation to contribute to a Multiemployer Plan.

SECTION 7.15 CONSENTS OR APPROVALS. No material consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any governmental authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or completed by any Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Loan Documents, that has not already been obtained or completed.

SECTION 7.16 SOLVENCY. Each Credit Party has received consideration that is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that such Credit Party has incurred to the Lenders. No Credit Party is insolvent as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will Borrowers be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to Agent and the Lenders. No Credit Party is engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by it are or will be an unreasonably small amount of capital, taking into consideration the obligations to Agent and the Lenders incurred hereunder. No Credit Party intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

SECTION 7.17 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The December 31, 2015, reviewed Consolidated financial statements of the BRJ Seller and the June 30, 2016, internally prepared Consolidated financial statements of the BRJ Seller, furnished to Agent and the Lenders, are true and complete, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the Companies’ financial condition as of the dates of such financial statements and the results of their operations for the periods then ending. Since the dates of such statements, there has been no Material Adverse Effect nor any change in any Company’s accounting procedures (except as permitted by Section 5.30 hereof).

SECTION 7.18 REGULATIONS. No Company is engaged principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America). Neither the granting of any Loan (or any conversion thereof) nor the use of the proceeds of any Loan will violate, or be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation U or X of said Board of Governors.

SECTION 7.19 MATERIAL AGREEMENTS. Except as disclosed on Schedule 7.19 hereto, no Company is a party to any contract, agreement, understanding, or arrangement that if violated, breached, or terminated for any reason, would have or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 7.20 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Each Company owns, possesses, or has the right to use all of the material Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business without, to any Company’s knowledge, any conflict with the rights of others. Schedule 7.20 hereto provides, as of the Closing Date, a complete and accurate list of all registered Intellectual Property owned by each Company, showing as of the date hereof the jurisdiction in which registered, the registration number, the date of registration and the expiration date.

SECTION 7.21 INSURANCE. Each Company maintains insurance as required by Section 5.1 hereof. Schedule 7.21 hereto sets forth, as of the Closing Date, all insurance carried by the Companies, setting forth in detail the amount and type of such insurance.

SECTION 7.22 ACCURATE AND COMPLETE STATEMENTS. Neither the Loan Documents nor any written statement made by any Company in connection with any of the Loan Documents (other than any financial projections or estimates or other forward looking statements as to which no representation or warranty is made or given) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or in the Loan Documents not misleading. After due inquiry by each Credit Party, there is no known fact that any Company has not disclosed to Agent and the Lenders that has or would have a Material Adverse Effect. The representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in the BRJ Acquisition Documents and in any other agreements, instruments or certificates delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, are true and correct in all material respects (except where any such representation and warranty is stated as being true only as of a specific date, in which case such representation and warranty was true and correct in all material respects on such date).

SECTION 7.23 DEFAULTS. No Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, nor will any begin to exist immediately after the execution and delivery hereof.

SECTION 7.24 [RESERVED].

SECTION 7.25 ANTI-TERRORISM LAWS. No Credit Party nor any Affiliate of any Credit Party, is in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law or engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law.

SECTION 7.26 EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 13224. No Credit Party, nor any Affiliate of any Credit Party, or their respective agents acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with the Loans, Letters of Credit or other transactions hereunder, is any of the following (each a “Blocked Person”):

(vi) a person or entity who is affiliated or associated with a person or entity listed above.

No Credit Party nor to the knowledge of any Credit Party, any of its agents acting in any capacity in connection with the Loans, Letters of Credit or other transactions hereunder (i) conducts any business or engages in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Blocked Person, or (ii) deals in, or otherwise engages in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to the Executive Order No. 13224.

ARTICLE IX. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Notwithstanding any contrary provision or inference herein or elsewhere,

SECTION 9.1 OPTIONAL DEFAULTS. If any Event of Default referred to in Article VIII (other than Section 8.13) hereof shall occur, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in their or its discretion, by directing Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to give written notice to any Borrower, to:

(a) terminate the Commitments and the credits hereby established, if not previously terminated, and, immediately upon such election, the obligations of the Lenders, and each thereof, to make any further Loan and the obligation of Agent to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder immediately shall be terminated, and/or

(b) accelerate the maturity of all of the Secured Debt (if the Secured Debt is not already due and payable), whereupon all of the Secured Debt shall become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full without any presentment or demand and without any further or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Credit Party.

SECTION 9.2 AUTOMATIC DEFAULTS. If any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.13 hereof shall occur:

(a) all of the Commitments and the credits hereby established shall automatically and immediately terminate, if not previously terminated, and no Lender thereafter shall be under any obligation to grant any further Loan, nor shall Agent be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder, and

(b) the principal of and interest then outstanding on all Notes, and all of the Secured Debt to the Lenders, shall thereupon become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full (if the Secured Debt is not already due and payable), all without any presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which are hereby waived by each Credit Party.

SECTION 9.3 LETTERS OF CREDIT. If the maturity of the Loans is accelerated pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 hereof or demand is otherwise made hereunder, Borrowers shall immediately deposit with Agent, as security for Borrowers’, any Credit Party’s and any other Obligor’s obligations to reimburse Agent and the Lenders for any then outstanding Letters of Credit, cash equal to 105% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn balance of any then outstanding Letters of Credit. Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized, at their option, to deduct any and all such amounts from any deposit balances then owing by any Lender to or for the credit or account of any Company, as security for Borrowers’, any Credit Party’s and any other Obligor’s obligations to reimburse Agent and the Lenders for any then outstanding Letters of Credit.

SECTION 9.4 OFFSETS. If there shall occur or exist any Event of Default, each Lender shall have the right at any time to set off against, and to appropriate and apply toward the payment of, any and all Secured Debt then owing by any Credit Party to that Lender (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to Section 9.5 hereof), whether or not the same shall then have matured, any and all deposit balances and all other Indebtedness then held or owing by that Lender to or for the credit or account of any Credit Party, all without notice to or demand upon any Credit Party or any other Person, all such notices and demands being hereby expressly waived by each Credit Party. Any such amounts set off by such Lender shall be delivered to the Agent to be applied in accordance with Section 2.3(b) hereof.

SECTION 9.5 EQUALIZATION PROVISION. Each Lender agrees with the other Lenders that if it, at any time, shall obtain any Advantage over the other applicable Lenders or any thereof in respect of the Applicable Debt (except under Article III hereof), it shall purchase from the other applicable Lenders, for cash and at par, such additional participation in the Debt as shall be necessary to nullify the Advantage. If any such Advantage resulting in the purchase of an additional participation as aforesaid shall be recovered in whole or in part from the Lender receiving the Advantage, each such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored (but without interest unless the Lender receiving the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage to the Person recovering the Advantage from such Lender) Ratably to the extent of the recovery. Each Lender further agrees with the other Lenders that if it at any time shall receive any payment for or on behalf of Borrowers on any Indebtedness owing by Borrowers to that Lender by reason of offset of any deposit or other Indebtedness, it will apply such payment first to any and all Applicable Debt owing by Borrowers to that Lender (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to this Section or any other Section of this Agreement). Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lenders or any thereof pursuant to this Section may exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender was a direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 9.6 COLLATERAL. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, may require any Credit Party to assemble the Collateral, which such Credit Party agrees to do, and make it available to Agent at a reasonably convenient place to be designated by Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, may, with or without notice to or demand upon any Credit Party and with or without the aid of legal process, make use of such force as may be necessary to enter any premises where the Collateral, or any thereof, may be found and to take possession thereof (including anything found in or on the Collateral that is not specifically described in this Agreement, each of which findings shall be considered to be an accession to and a part of the Collateral) and for that purpose may pursue the Collateral wherever the same may be found, without liability for trespass or damage caused thereby to any Credit Party. After any delivery or taking of possession of the Collateral, or any thereof, pursuant to this Agreement, then, with or without resort to any Credit Party personally or any other Person or property, all of which each Credit Party hereby waives, and upon such terms and in such manner as Agent may deem advisable, Agent, in its discretion, may sell, assign, transfer and deliver any of the Collateral at any time, or from time to time. No prior notice need be given to any Credit Party or to any other Person in the case of any sale of Collateral which Agent determines to be perishable or to be declining speedily in value or which is customarily sold in any recognized market, but in any other case Agent shall give such Credit Party not fewer than ten (10) days prior notice of either the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be made. Each Credit Party waives advertisement of any such sale and (except to the extent specifically required by the preceding sentence) waives notice of any kind in respect of any such sale. At any such public sale, Agent or the Lenders may purchase the Collateral, or any part thereof, free from any right of redemption, all of which rights such Credit Party hereby waives and releases. After paying all claims, if any, secured by Liens having precedence over this Agreement, Agent shall apply any payments received on the Secured Debt and the net proceeds of each such sale to or toward the payment of the Secured Debt, whether or not then due, in such order and by such division as set forth in Section 2.3(b) hereof. Any excess, to the extent permitted by law, shall be paid to the Credit Parties, and the Credit Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall at all times have the right to obtain new appraisals of any Credit Party or the Collateral, the cost of which shall be paid by the Credit Parties. If Agent sells, leases, licenses, or otherwise disposes of any Collateral of any Credit Party on credit, then, and in each such case, Borrowers will be credited only with payments actually received by Agent and, if any Person obligated to make any payment for any Collateral of any Credit Party does not make such payment when due, Agent may thereafter sell, lease, license, or otherwise dispose of such Collateral of such Credit Party. In connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral of any Credit Party, Agent, shall have the right, but no duty, to disclaim warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment, and the like, and Agent shall have the right to comply with any applicable requirements of law (whether federal, state, local, or otherwise), and no such disclaimer or compliance shall be considered to have adversely affected the commercial reasonableness of any such sale or other disposition.

SECTION 9.7 APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall be entitled, to make application to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio or any other applicable court of competent jurisdiction, for the immediate appointment of a receiver for all or part of the Collateral or the real property, whether such receivership is incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or the real property, pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably consents to the appointment of such a receiver without bond, to the full extent permitted by applicable statute or law as a matter of strict right and without any requirement of any notice to any Credit Party and without regard to the adequacy of the Collateral or the real property for the repayment of the Obligations or the solvency of any Borrower or any Obligor. Each Credit Party hereby further waives any and all notices of and defenses to such appointment and agrees not to oppose any application therefor by Agent. Nothing herein shall be construed to deprive Agent or any Lender of any other right, remedy or privilege Agent or any Lender may now have under the law to have a receiver appointed. Any such receiver shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including, without limitation, the full power to hold, develop, rent, lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use of the Collateral or the real property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances.

In no event shall Agent be liable for punitive, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary or other similar damages.

SECTION 10.2 NOTE HOLDERS. Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with it, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to Agent.

SECTION 10.3 CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL. Agent may consult with legal counsel selected by it and shall not be liable for any reasonable action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

SECTION 10.4 DOCUMENTS. Agent shall not be under any duty to examine into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness, genuineness or value of any Loan Documents or any other Related Writing furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or the value of any collateral obtained hereunder, and Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine and what they purport to be.

SECTION 10.5 AGENT AND AFFILIATES. With respect to the Loans, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Company or any Affiliate thereof.

SECTION 10.6 KNOWLEDGE OF DEFAULT. It is expressly understood and agreed that Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, unless Agent has been notified by a Lender in writing that such Lender believes that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the nature thereof.

SECTION 10.7 ACTION BY AGENT. So long as Agent shall be entitled, pursuant to Section 10.6 hereof, to assume that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights that may be vested in it by, or with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions that it may be able to take under or in respect of, this Agreement. Agent shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, certificate, warranty or other paper or instrument believed by it to be genuine or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or parties, or with respect to anything that it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment, or that may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the premises, except for any liability arising from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 10.8 NOTICES, DEFAULT, ETC. In the event that Agent shall have acquired actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement as the Required Lenders shall direct and Agent shall inform the other Lenders in writing of the action taken. Agent may take such action and assert such rights as it deems to be advisable, in its discretion, for the protection of the interests of the holders of the Notes.

SECTION 10.9 INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENT. The Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties) ratably, according to their respective Aggregate Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in its capacity as agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by Agent with respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or from any action taken or omitted by Agent in any capacity other than as agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 10.10 SUCCESSOR AGENT. Agent may resign as agent hereunder by giving not fewer than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrowers and the Lenders. If Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then either (a) the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders (with the consent of Borrowers so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), or (b) if a successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following Agent’s notice to the Lenders of its resignation, then Agent shall appoint a successor agent that shall serve as agent until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent. Upon its appointment, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties as agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor effective upon its appointment, and the former agent’s rights, powers and duties as agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former agent or any of the parties to this Agreement.

SECTION 10.11 NATURE OF RELATIONSHIP. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any of the Lenders by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC, and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby agrees not to assert any claim against the Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each such Person hereby waives.

SECTION 10.12 NATURE OF DUTIES. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, attorneys or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any Obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an Obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any Collateral; or (g) the financial condition of the Borrowers or any Credit Party or of any other Company. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by the Credit Parties to the Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the Credit Parties to the Agent (either in its capacity as Agent or in its individual capacity).

SECTION 10.13 NO RELIANCE ON AGENT'S CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with Borrowers, Borrowers’ Affiliates or its agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any record-keeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

SECTION 10.14 COLLATERAL MATTERS. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent with respect to the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments, the payment in full of all Secured Debt and the satisfaction of all other obligations (other than those obligations surviving indefinitely pursuant to Section 11.18 hereof to the extent no claims giving rise thereto have been asserted); (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if Borrowers certify to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.12 hereof (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property in which a Credit Party did not own any interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) in connection with any foreclosure sale or other disposition of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; or (v) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Agent at the direction of all Lenders in accordance with Section 11.3 hereof. Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant hereto. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent herein or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Related Writings have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of its rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 10.14 or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, but consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, including given Agent's own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender.

SECTION 10.15 AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and any other Related Writing on behalf of each of the Lenders and to take such action and exercise such powers under the Loan Documents and any other Related Writing as Agent considers appropriate; provided, however, that Agent shall not amend the Loan Documents or any other Related Writing or consent to any waiver of its provisions unless such amendment or waiver is agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by Section 11.3 hereof). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and the Related Writings upon the execution and delivery thereof by Agent.

ARTICLE XI. MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 11.1 LENDERS’ INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION. Each Lender, by its signature to this Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that Agent has made no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the creditworthiness, financial condition, or any other condition of any Company or with respect to the statements contained in any information memorandum furnished in connection herewith or in any other oral or written communication between Agent and such Lender. Each Lender represents that it has made and shall continue to make its own independent investigation of the creditworthiness, financial condition and affairs of the Companies in connection with the extension of credit hereunder, and agrees that Agent has no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than such notices as may be expressly required to be given by Agent to the Lenders hereunder), whether coming into its possession before the granting of the first Loans or the issuing of the first Letter of Credit hereunder or at any time or times thereafter.

SECTION 11.2 NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No omission or course of dealing on the part of Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, powers or privileges held by operation of law, by contract or otherwise.

SECTION 11.3 AMENDMENTS, CONSENTS. Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by Agent, no amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document nor consent to any variance therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unanimous consent of the Lenders shall be required with respect to (a) any increase in the Commitment hereunder, (b) the extension of maturity of the Loans, the scheduled payment date of principal or interest thereunder (other than with respect to a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.7), or the payment of commitment or other fees or amounts payable hereunder, (c) any reduction in the rate of interest on the Loans, or in any amount of principal or interest due on any Loan, or the payment of commitment or other fees hereunder or any change in the manner of application of any payments made by Borrowers or any Credit Party to the Lenders hereunder, (d) any change in Section 2.3(b) hereof, the percentage voting requirement, voting rights, or the Required Lenders definition in this Agreement, (e) except as provided in Section 10.14 hereof, the release of any Guarantor of Payment or all or substantially all of the Collateral, (f) any amendment to this Section 11.3 or Section 9.5 hereof, (g) any amendment to the definition of Revolving Credit Commitment or any defined term used therein, or (h) any amendment to this Agreement that would cause a Lender to be obligated to make Revolving Loans in excess of its share of the Revolving Credit Commitment. Notice of amendments or consents ratified by the Lenders hereunder shall promptly be forwarded by Borrowers to all Lenders. Each Lender or other holder of a Note shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent obtained as authorized by this Section, regardless of its failure to agree thereto. For purposes of this Section 11.3, with respect to any Lender which makes a non-pro rata assignment as contemplated by Section 11.10(b)(ii) hereof, any Approved Fund of such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender that becomes bound by this Agreement by virtue of such a non-pro rata assignment shall, by becoming so bound, be deemed to have irrevocably appointed such Lender as such Person’s agent for purposes of signing any amendment, modification or termination of, or any waiver or consent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Related Writing, and such Person shall have no right individually to approve any such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent. Each such Lender, by becoming bound by this Agreement, shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted its appointment as agent for such purposes, and each Lender agrees to exercise all powers of such Lender in its capacity as agent of such Person in a manner that is consistent with the manner in which such Lender exercises its individual rights under this Agreement and the other Related Writings.

SECTION 11.4 NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and, if to a Credit Party, mailed or delivered to such Credit Party, addressed to such Credit Party at the address specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, if to a Lender, mailed or delivered to it, addressed to the address of such Lender specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each of the other parties. All notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given by overnight delivery or first class mail with postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, addressed as aforesaid, or sent by facsimile with telephonic confirmation of receipt, except that all notices hereunder shall not be effective until received.

SECTION 11.5 COSTS, EXPENSES AND TAXES. Each Credit Party agrees to pay on demand all documented Related Expenses and all other costs and expenses of Agent, including, but not limited to, (a) administration (including field examinations), travel and out of pocket expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, of Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and closing of the Loan Documents and Related Writings and the administration of the Loan Documents and Related Writings, the collection and disbursement of all funds hereunder and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder; (b) extraordinary expenses of Agent in connection with the administration of the Loan Documents and Related Writings and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, (c) the reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses of special counsel for the Lenders, with respect to the foregoing, and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said special counsel with respect thereto, (d) the hiring or retention (with the consultation of Borrowers during such times when no Event of Default exists) of any third party consultant deemed necessary by Agent and the Lenders to protect and preserve the Collateral, and (e) costs of settlement incurred by Agent after the occurrence of an Event of Default, including but not limited to (1) costs in enforcing any obligation or in foreclosing against the Collateral or other security or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of such Event of Default, (2) costs in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (3) costs of commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to any Credit Party and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the Loan Documents, (4) costs of taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (whether in bankruptcy or otherwise) (other than a suit among the Lenders to which no Company is a party), (5) costs of protecting, preserving, collecting, leasing, selling, taking possession of, or liquidating any of the Collateral, (6) costs in connection with attempting to enforce or enforcing any lien on or security interest in any of the Collateral or any other rights under the Loan Documents, or (7) costs incurred in connection with meeting with any Credit Party to discuss such Event of Default and the course of action to be taken in connection therewith. In addition, each Credit Party shall pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable fees of other professionals, all lien search and title search fees, all title insurance premiums, all filing and recording fees, all reasonable travel expenses and any and all stamp and other similar taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to hold Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes or fees unless such delay or omission is the result of the gross negligence or the willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender. All of the foregoing will be part of the obligations, payable within five (5) Business Days of demand (unless any of the foregoing are to be paid at closing), shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed invoices, and shall be secured by the Collateral and other security for the Secured Debt. The obligations described in this Section 11.5 will survive any termination of this Agreement or the restructuring of the financing arrangements.

SECTION 11.6 INDEMNIFICATION. Each Credit Party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Agent and the Lenders (and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Lender or Agent shall be designated a party thereto) or any other claim by any Person relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans or any of the Secured Debt, or any activities of any Company or any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates; provided that neither any Lender nor Agent shall have the right to be indemnified under this Section for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. All obligations provided for in this Section 11.6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Related Writing, neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be liable to any Credit Party or any Company (or any Affiliate of any such Person) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Secured Debt or as a result of any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Related Writing.

SECTION 11.7 OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL; NO FIDUCIARY OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by Agent or the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No default by any Lender hereunder shall excuse the other Lenders from any obligation under this Agreement; but no Lender shall have or acquire any additional obligation of any kind by reason of such default. The relationship between the Credit Parties and the Lenders with respect to the Loan Documents and the Related Writings is and shall be solely that of debtor and creditors, respectively, and neither Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary obligation toward any Credit Party with respect to any such documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

SECTION 11.8 EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. The delivery of a facsimile or pdf or other electronic counterpart shall be effective as an original counterpart.

SECTION 11.9 BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Borrower, Agent and by each Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, the Credit Parties, Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Credit Party shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Agent and all of the Lenders.

SECTION 11.10 LENDER ASSIGNMENTS/PARTICIPATIONS.

(a) No Lender may assign or, otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the applicable Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $3,000,000, unless each of Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned; provided, however, that no Lender shall be prohibited from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate loan facilities on a non-pro rata basis to any Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender subject to the provisions of Section 11.3 hereof; (iii) any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment must be approved by Agent unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Revolving Commitment (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with, unless such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Article III and Sections 11.5, and 11.6 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at its address set forth on the signature page to this Agreement a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Credit Party or Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or any Credit Party or any of Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Credit Parties, Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any provision which requires the unanimous consent of Lender pursuant to Section 11.3 hereof. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article III and Sections 11.5 and 11.6 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.5 as though it were a Lender.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article III or Section 11.5 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrowers’ prior written consent.

(f) 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 such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Each Lender or assignee or Participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such bank is not a "shell" and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (1) on the Closing Date and (2) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

SECTION 11.11 SUBSTITUTION OF LENDERS. In the event that (a) Borrowers receive a claim from any Lender for material compensation under Article III hereof at a time when (i) no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, and (ii) no other Lender has demanded such compensation, (b) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) in the event a Lender fails to consent to an amendment or waiver requested under Section 11.3 hereof at a time when Agent has approved such amendment or waiver (any such Lender referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, an “Affected Lender”), Borrowers may require, at their expense, any such Affected Lender to assign, at par plus accrued interest and fees, without recourse, all of its interest, rights and obligations hereunder (including all its Commitments and the Loans and any other amounts at any time owing to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) to a Designated Lender; provided, however, that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority, (ii) Borrowers shall have received the written consent of the Agent to such assignment (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iii) Borrowers shall have paid to the Affected Lender all monies (together with amounts due such Affected Lender under Section 2.4 hereof as if the Loans owing to it were prepaid rather than assigned), and (iv) the assignment is entered into in accordance with the other requirements of Section 11.10 hereof (provided any assignment fees and reimbursable expenses due thereunder shall be paid by Borrowers). In the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Lender shall not be entitled to vote and shall not be included in such calculation, and shall not be entitled to receive any fees otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder.

SECTION 11.12 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS; CAPTIONS; ATTACHMENTS. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The several captions to Sections and subsections herein are inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement. Each schedule or exhibit attached to this Agreement shall be incorporated herein and shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

SECTION 11.13 INVESTMENT PURPOSE. Each of the Lenders represents and warrants to Borrowers that it is entering into this Agreement with the present intention of acquiring any Note issued pursuant hereto for investment purposes only and not for the purpose of distribution or resale, it being understood, however, that each Lender shall at all times retain full control over the disposition of its assets.

SECTION 11.14 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, any Note and any other Loan Document or other agreement, document or instrument attached hereto or executed on or as of the Closing Date integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral representations and negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 11.15 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. This Agreement, each of the Notes and any Related Writing shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio and the respective rights and obligations of the Credit Parties and the Lenders shall be governed by Ohio law, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Ohio state or federal court sitting in Cleveland, Ohio, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Secured Debt or any Related Writing, and each Credit Party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Ohio state or federal court. Each Credit Party, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any action or proceeding in any such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove such action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM NON CONVENIENS or otherwise. Each Credit Party agrees that a final, nonappealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

SECTION 11.16 LEGAL REPRESENTATION OF PARTIES. The Loan Documents were negotiated by the parties with the benefit of legal representation and any rule of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be construed or interpreted against any party shall not apply to any construction or interpretation hereof or thereof.

SECTION 11.17 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder.

SECTION 11.18 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES. All indemnities of Agent and the Lenders and other provisions relative to the reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit, including, but not limited to, Article III, Section 11.5 and 11.6 hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full of the Secured Debt.

SECTION 11.19 PRESS RELEASES AND RELATED MATTERS. Each Credit Party hereby authorizes and consents to the publication by each Lender of customary advertising materials relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents using such Credit Party’s name, product photographs, logos and/or trademarks. Each of Agent, each Lender, and each Credit Party agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of Agent, any Lender, any Credit Party or their respective Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each such other Person unless (and only to the extent that) Agent, each Lender, such Credit Party or such Affiliate, as applicable, is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such Credit Party or such Affiliate will consult with such Person before issuing such press release or other public disclosure, provided that so long as there are no material changes in the form or substance of such press releases or public disclosure, such written consent will be deemed to cover multiple dates, publications or other dissemination of the information.

SECTION 11.20 JOINT AND SEVERABILITY; BORROWING AGENCY. Each Borrower states and acknowledges that: (i) pursuant to this Agreement, Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing potential on a consolidated basis to the same extent possible as if they were merged into a single corporate entity and that this Agreement reflects the establishment of credit facilities which would not otherwise be available to such Borrower if each Borrower were not jointly and severally liable for payment of the obligations; (ii) it has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) it is both a condition precedent to the obligations of Agent and the Lenders hereunder and a desire of Borrowers that each Borrower execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders this Agreement; and (iv) Borrowers have requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the advances contemplated by this Agreement.

Each Borrower shall be liable for all amounts due to Agent and the Lenders from any Borrower under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received by any Borrower or the manner in which Agent or the Lenders accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records (without limiting the foregoing, each Borrower shall be liable for the Loans made to each other Borrower). Each Borrower’s obligations with respect to Loans made to it, and each Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder, with respect to Loans made to another Borrower hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such obligations shall be primary obligations of such Borrower.

Each Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans or other extensions of credit made to another Borrower hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the obligations of any other Borrower or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the obligations of any other Borrower, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the obligations from any other Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the obligations of any other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to Agent or any Lender, (iv) the failure by Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the obligations of any other Borrower, (v) Agent or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of Agent or any Lender’s claim for the repayment of the obligations of any other Borrower under Section 502 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or (viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Borrower. With respect to each Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans or other extensions of credit made to any Borrower hereunder, such Borrower waives, until the Secured Debt shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnity, contribution or any remedy which such Borrower now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower or any Obligor, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral (including the Collateral) given to Agent or any Lender to secure payment of the Secured Debt or any other liability of any other Borrower to Agent or any Lender.

Each Borrower agrees if such Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder, or if any Liens securing such joint and several liability, would, but for the application of this sentence, be unenforceable under applicable law, such joint and several liability and each such Lien shall be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent that would not cause such joint and several liability or such Lien to be unenforceable under applicable law, and such joint and several liability and such Lien shall be deemed to have been automatically amended accordingly at all relevant times.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against a Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of such Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations.

Borrowers are obligated to repay the obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement. To the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the obligations constituting Loans made to another Borrower hereunder or other obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and, be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (i) rendering such Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (ii) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or (iii) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification and reimbursement under this Section shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations. The provisions of this Section shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.

Each of the Borrowers hereby appoints Borrowing Agent as its as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement, including the requesting of Loans, the giving and receipt of notices and execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all of the Borrowers acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by Borrowing Agent, whether or not any of the other Borrowers joins therein.

The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce Agent and the Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies Agent and the Lenders and holds Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Agent or any Lender by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as provided herein, reliance by Agent or any Lender on any request or instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by Agent or any Lender with respect to this Section except due to willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Agent or any Lender.

SECTION 11.21 EXCLUDED SWAP OBLIGATIONS; KEEPWELL.

(a) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY EXCLUDED SWAP OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE EXCLUDED FROM (X) THE DEFINITION OF “SECURED DEBT”, “DEBT” OR “OTHER DEBT” (OR ANY EQUIVALENT DEFINITION) CONTAINED HEREIN OR IN ANY OTHER GUARANTY OF THE SECURED DEBT AND NO EXCLUDED SWAP OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE GUARANTEED PURSUANT TO ANY SUCH GUARANTEE AND (Y) THE DEFINITION OF “SECURED DEBT” OR “DEBT” (OR ANY EQUIVALENT DEFINITION) CONTAINED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, AND NO LIEN GRANTED PURSUANT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL SECURE ANY EXCLUDED SWAP OBLIGATIONS.

(b) Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 11.21 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 11.21, or otherwise under this Agreement, as it relates to such other Credit Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Secured Debt, termination of the Commitments and expiration or cancellation of all Letters of Credit. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 11.21 constitute, and this Section 11.21 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 11.22 [RESERVED].

SECTION 11.23 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. BORROWERS, AGENT AND EACH OF THE LENDERS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG BORROWERS, AGENT AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY THEREOF, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO. THIS WAIVER SHALL NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT, WAIVE, LIMIT, AMEND OR MODIFY AGENT’S OR ANY LENDER’S ABILITY TO PURSUE REMEDIES PURSUANT TO ANY PROVISION CONTAINED IN ANY NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT AMONG BORROWERS, AGENT AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY THEREOF.

ARTICLE XII. GUARANTY

SECTION 12.1 GUARANTY. Each Credit Party hereby unconditionally guaranties the full and prompt payment and performance when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all present and future Secured Debt of any type or nature of any Credit Party to Agent and the Lenders arising under or related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and/or any one or more of them, whether due or to become due, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, or contingent or noncontingent, including obligations of performance as well as obligations of payment, including interest on any of the foregoing whether accruing before or after any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding involving any Credit Party or any other Person and, if interest on any portion of such obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, including such interest as would have accrued on any such portion of such obligations if such case or proceeding had not commenced, and further agrees to pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by Agent in endeavoring to collect any of the foregoing, or any part thereof, and in enforcing the obligations of such Credit Party (collectively, the “Liabilities”).

Each Credit Party agrees that, in the event of the dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency of any Credit Party, or the inability or failure of any Credit Party to pay debts as they become due, or an assignment by Borrowers for the benefit of creditors, or the commencement of any case or proceeding in respect of Borrowers under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Liabilities may not then be due and payable, such Credit Party will pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by such Credit Party if all Liabilities were then due and payable.

This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance (and not of collection), and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding, without limitation, the dissolution of any Credit Party).

SECTION 12.2 GUARANTORS’ OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL. The covenants and agreements of each Credit Party set forth in this Guaranty of Payment shall be primary obligations of such Credit Party, and such obligations shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction, diminution, abatement, recoupment, suspension, deferment, reduction or defense (other than full and strict compliance by Credit Party with its obligations hereunder), whether based upon any claim that any Credit Party or any other Person may have against Agent, any Lender or any other Person or otherwise, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not Borrowers or other Company shall have any knowledge or notice thereof) including, without limitation:

(a) Any amendment, modification, addition, deletion, supplement or renewal to or of or other change in the Liabilities or this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any related instrument or agreement, or any other instrument or agreement applicable thereto or to any of the parties to such agreements, or to any Collateral, or any furnishing or acceptance of additional security for, guaranty of or right of offset with respect to, any of the Liabilities; or the failure of any security or the failure of Agent or any Lender to perfect or insure any interest in any Collateral;

(b) Any failure, omission or delay on the part of any Credit Party, Agent or any Lender to conform or comply with any term of any instrument or agreement referred to in subsection (a) above;

(c) Any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence, compromise, release or other action or inaction under or in respect of any instrument, agreement, guaranty, right of offset or security referred to in subsection (a) above or any obligation or liability of any Credit Party, Agent or any Lender, or any exercise or non-exercise by Agent or any Lender of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any such instrument, agreement, guaranty, right of offset or security or any such obligation or liability;

(d) Any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to any Credit Party, Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any of their respective properties or creditors, or any action taken by any trustee or receiver or by any court in any such proceeding;

(e) Any limitation on the liability or obligations of any Person under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any other related instrument or agreement, the Liabilities, any collateral security for the Liabilities, or any other guaranty of the Liabilities or any discharge, termination, cancellation, frustration, irregularity, invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any of the foregoing, or any other agreement, instrument, guaranty or security referred to in subsection (a) above or any term of any thereof;

(f) Any merger or consolidation of Borrowers or any other Credit Party into or with any Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any of the assets of Borrowers or any other Credit Party to any other Person;

(g) Any change in the ownership of any of the equity interests of any Borrower or any other Credit Party or any entity change in Borrowers or any other Credit Party; or

(h) Any other occurrence or circumstance whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing and any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of any Credit Party or surety or that might otherwise limit recourse against any Credit Party.

The obligations of each Credit Party set forth herein constitute the full recourse obligations of such Credit Party, enforceable against it to the full extent of all its assets and properties.

Without limiting the provisions of Section 12.1 hereof, each Credit Party waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Liabilities and notice of or proof of reliance by Agent and the Lenders upon this Guaranty of Payment or acceptance of this Guaranty of Payment, and the Liabilities, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guaranty of Payment. Each Credit Party unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted by law: (a) acceptance of this Guaranty of Payment and proof of reliance by Agent and the Lenders hereon; (b) notice of any of the matters referred to in the foregoing subsections (a) through (h) hereof, or any right to consent or assent to any thereof; (c) all notices that may be required by statute, rule or law or otherwise, now or hereafter in effect, to preserve intact any rights against any Credit Party, including without limitation, any demand, presentment, protest, proof or notice of nonpayment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any related instrument or agreement; (d) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise against any Credit Party of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related instrument or agreement or otherwise; (e) any requirement of diligence on the part of any Person; (f) any requirement of Agent or any Lender to take any action whatsoever, to exhaust any remedies or to mitigate the damages resulting from a default under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related instrument or agreement; (g) any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition by any Person of any right under, title to or interest in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related instrument or agreement relating thereto or any Collateral for the Liabilities; and (h) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety, or that might otherwise limit recourse against a Credit Party.

Without limiting the foregoing, each Credit Party hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based upon an election of remedies by Agent or any Lender, including an election to proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or impairs any right of subrogation of such Credit Party or the right of such Credit Party to proceed against any Person for reimbursement or both.

Each Credit Party agrees that this Guaranty of Payment shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Credit Party is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by Agent or any Lender, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

SECTION 12.3 SUBORDINATION.

(a) Subordination to Senior Obligations.

(i) Each Credit Party hereby covenants and agrees that, as provided herein, all indebtedness, intercompany charges and other sums owing and claims of any nature whatsoever owed to such Credit Party by any other Credit Party (“Intercompany Obligations”), the payment of the principal of and interest thereon and any lien or security interest therefor are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to this Agreement or the prior payment in full of: (A) all Secured Debt and all other obligations now or hereafter incurred by any of the Credit Parties under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (B) interest thereon (including, without limitation, any such interest accruing subsequent to the filing by or against any of the Credit Parties of any proceeding brought under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not such interest is allowed as a claim pursuant to the provisions of such Chapter), and (C) all fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts now or hereafter payable pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and all other Loan Documents (collectively the “Senior Obligations”), and any lien on any property or asset securing the Senior Obligations.

(ii) No payment or prepayment of any Intercompany Obligations (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) shall be made by any Credit Party at any time prior to the indefeasible payment in full, in cash, of the Senior Obligations, provided that the Credit Parties may make payments (not prepayments) of Intercompany Obligations in the ordinary course of business to the extent that at the time of, and immediately after giving effect to, any such payment, no Default or Event of Default exists.

(b) Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Bankruptcy. In the event of (i) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to any Credit Party or to its creditors as such, or to its properties or assets, or (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of any Credit Party, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (iii) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshaling of assets or liabilities of any Credit Party, then and in any such event the holders of Senior Obligations shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due on or in respect of Senior Obligations, in cash or in any other manner acceptable to the holders of Senior Obligations, before any Credit Party is entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character on account of principal of or interest on any Intercompany Obligations of such Credit Party, and to that end the holders of Senior Obligations shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any payment or distribution of assets of such Credit Party of any kind or character including, without limitation, securities that are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Obligations to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, as provided in this Guaranty of Payment, that may be payable or deliverable in respect of this Guaranty of Payment in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding-up or event referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

(c) Payments to be Held in Trust. In the event that a Credit Party shall receive any payment or distribution of assets of any Credit Party of any kind or character in respect of the Intercompany Obligations in contravention of the foregoing Subsection (b), then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be received and held by such Credit Party in trust for Agent, and shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to Agent, the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Credit Party in trust for the holders of the Senior Obligations, and for application to the payment of, all Senior Obligations remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Obligations in full, in cash or in any other manner acceptable to Agent, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the Senior Obligations.

(d) Legend. Each Credit Party hereby covenants to cause any instrument from time to time evidencing any Intercompany Obligations to have fixed upon it a legend which reads substantially as follows:

“This instrument is subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit and Security Agreement dated as of November 1, 2016, among the undersigned maker or maker(s), certain of their affiliates, the financial institutions which are now or which hereafter become a party thereto (each, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), and KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as agent for Lenders, which, among other things, contains provisions subordinating such maker’s or makers’ obligations to the holders of Senior Obligations (as defined in said Agreement), to which provisions the holder of this instrument, by acceptance hereof, agrees.”

(e) No Disposition. No Credit Party will sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Intercompany Obligations owed to it, provided that such Credit Party may forgive Intercompany Obligations or contribute Intercompany Obligations to a Credit Party.

SECTION 12.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives, solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, until the indefeasible repayment in full of the Secured Debt, any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Credit Party’s obligations under this Guaranty of Payment, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Agent and the Lenders against any of the Credit Parties or any of their assets which Agent or any Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Credit Party, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Credit Party in violation of the preceding sentence and the Liabilities shall not have been indefeasibly paid in cash, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Credit Party for the benefit of, and held in trust for, Agent and the Lenders, and shall forthwith be paid to Agent to be credited and applied pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each Credit Party acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits form the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this paragraph is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 12.5 FRAUDULENT TRANSFER LIMITATION. If, in any action to enforce this Guaranty of Payment or any proceeding to allow or adjudicate a claim under this Guaranty of Payment, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that enforcement of this Guaranty of Payment against any Credit Party for the full amount of the Obligations is not lawful under, and would be subject to avoidance under, Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provision of comparable state law, the liability of such Credit Party shall be limited to the maximum amount lawful and not subject to avoidance under such law.

SECTION 12.6 CONTRIBUTION AMONG GUARANTORS. The Credit Parties desire to allocate among themselves in a fair and equitable manner, their rights of contribution from each other when any payment is made by one of the Credit Parties under this Guaranty of Payment. Accordingly, if any payment is made by a Credit Party under this Guaranty of Payment (a “Funding Guarantor”) that exceeds its Fair Share, the Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Credit Party in the amount of such other Credit Party’s Fair Share Shortfall, so that all such contributions shall cause each Credit Party’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share. For these purposes:

(a) “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the Adjusted Maximum Amount of such Credit Party to (y) the aggregate Adjusted Maximum Amounts of all Credit Parties, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty of Payment.

(b) “Fair Share Shortfall” means with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Credit Party over the Aggregate Payments of such Credit Party.

(c) “Adjusted Maximum Amount” means with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the liability of such Credit Party under this Guaranty of Payment, limited to the extent required under Section 12.5 (except that, for purposes solely of this calculation, any assets or liabilities arising by virtue of any rights to or obligations of contribution under this Section 12.6 shall not be counted as assets or liabilities of such Credit Party).

(d) “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, the aggregate net amount of all payments made on or before such date by such Credit Party under this Guaranty of Payment (including, without limitation, under this Section 12.6).

The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined by the Funding Guarantor as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the Funding Guarantor, and such determination shall be binding on the other Credit Parties absent manifest or demonstrable error. The allocation and right of contribution among the Credit Parties set forth in this Section 12.6 shall not be construed to limit in any way the liability of any Credit Party under this Guaranty.

SECTION 12.7 FUTURE GUARANTORS. Any other Person who may hereafter become a Subsidiary of any Credit Party (other than any Foreign Person) may and shall become bound by the terms and conditions hereof by executing and delivering an joinder and assumption agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 5.22 hereof.

SECTION 12.8 JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATION. This Guaranty of Payment and all liabilities of each Credit Party hereunder shall be the joint and several obligation of each Credit Party and may be freely enforced against each Credit Party, for the full amount of the Liabilities (subject to Section 12.5), without regard to whether enforcement is sought or available against any other Credit Party.

SECTION 12.9 NO WAIVER. No delay in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty of Payment be binding upon Agent and the Lenders except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on their behalf.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, B.R. JOHNSON, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BRJ”), each other Person which may be added as a “Borrower” hereto, subsequent to the date hereof (collectively, together with BRJ, the “Borrowers”, and each individually, a “Borrower”), jointly and severally promise to pay, on DEMAND, to the order of _________ (“Lender”) at the office of KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Agent, 250 Delaware Avenue, Suite 600, Buffalo, NY 14202, the principal sum of

_____________________AND 00/100 DOLLARS

or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by Lender to Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Credit Agreement, whichever is less, in lawful money of the United States of America. As used herein, “Credit Agreement” means the Credit and Security Agreement dated as of even date herewith, among Borrowers, certain other Credit Parties from time to time party thereto, the lenders named therein and KeyBank National Association, as Agent, as the same may from time to time be amended, restated or otherwise modified. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

Borrowers also promise to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan from time to time outstanding, from the date of such Revolving Loan until the payment in full thereof, at the rates per annum which shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1 of the Credit Agreement. Such interest shall be payable on each date provided for in such Section 2.1; provided, however, that interest on any principal portion which is not paid when due shall be payable on demand.

The portions of the principal sum hereof from time to time representing Revolving Loans, and payments of principal of any thereof, shall be shown on the records of Lender by such method as Lender may generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from Borrowers’ obligations under this Revolving Credit Note (this “Note”).

If this Note shall not be paid at maturity, whether such maturity occurs by reason of lapse of time or demand or by operation of any provision for acceleration of maturity contained in the Credit Agreement, the principal hereof and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. All payments of principal of and interest on this Note shall be made in immediately available funds. In the event of a failure to pay interest or principal, when the same becomes due after giving effect to any applicable grace or cure period, Lender may collect and Borrowers agree to pay a late charge of an amount equal to the greater of $50 or 5% of the amount of such late payment.
