CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of this 6th day of November, 2014, by and among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association (“Lender”), SAExploration, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and SAExploration Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, SAExploration Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, NES, LLC, an Alaska limited liability company, and SAExploration Seismic Services (US), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Guarantors”).

The parties agree as follows:

DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.

1.1 Definitions, Code Terms, Accounting Terms and Construction. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1. Additionally, matters of (i) interpretation of terms defined in the Code, (ii) interpretation of accounting terms and (iii) construction are set forth in Schedule 1.1.

LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1 Revolving Loan Advances.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make revolving loans (“Advances”) to Borrower in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of:

(i) the Maximum Revolver Amount less the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, and

(ii) the Borrowing Base at such time less the Letter of Credit Usage at such time.

(b) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Advances, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. Lender has no obligation to make an Advance at any time following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default.

(c) If at any time the Maximum Revolver Amount is less than the amount of the Borrowing Base, the amount of Advances available under Section 2.1(a) above shall be reduced by any Reserves established by Lender with respect to amounts that may be payable by Borrower to third parties.

2.2 [Intentionally Omitted]

2.3 Borrowing Procedures.

(a) Procedure for Borrowing. Provided Lender has not separately agreed that Borrower may use the Loan Management Service, each Borrowing shall be made by a written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Lender. Such written request must be received by Lender no later than 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day. At Lender’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give Lender telephonic notice of such request by the required time. Lender is authorized to make the Advances, and to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person.

(b) Making of Loans. Promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Lender shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such amount to the Designated Account; provided, however, that, Lender shall not have the obligation to make any Advance if (1) one (1) or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived by Lender, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.

(c) Loan Management Service. If Lender has separately agreed that Borrower may use the Loan Management Service, Borrower shall not request and Lender shall no longer honor a request for an Advance made in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and all Advances will instead be initiated by Lender and credited to the Designated Account as Advances as of the end of each Business Day in an amount sufficient to maintain an agreed upon ledger balance in the Designated Account, subject only to Availability as provided in Section 2.1. If Lender terminates Borrower’s access to the Loan Management Service, Borrower may continue to request Advances as provided in Section 2.3(a), subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. Lender shall have no obligation to make an Advance through the Loan Management Service after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or in an amount in excess of Availability, and may terminate the Loan Management Service at any time in its sole discretion.

(d) Protective Advances. Lender may make an Advance for any reason at any time in its Permitted Discretion, without Borrower’s compliance with any of the conditions of this Agreement, and (i) disburse the proceeds directly to third Persons in order to protect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or to perform any obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or otherwise to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations, or (ii) apply the proceeds to outstanding Obligations then due and payable (such Advance, a “Protective Advance”).

(e) Eligible New Equipment Borrowing Base Procedures. In addition to the other conditions precedent to any Advance set forth in this Agreement, the provision of each Advance against Eligible New Equipment shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following additional conditions precedent, as determined by Lender: (i) Lender shall have received from Borrower not more often than quarterly, and not less than 5 Business Days prior written notice of the proposed inclusion of Eligible New Equipment in the Borrowing Base (each such notice being an "Eligible New Equipment Advance Request"), which notice shall specify and include the following: (A) a list and description of the Eligible New Equipment (by model, make, manufacturer, serial number and/or such other identifying information as may be reasonably requested by Lender), (B) the date of purchase, (C) the Hard Costs and total purchase price for such Eligible New Equipment (and the terms of payment of such purchase price); and (D) such other information and documents as Lender may from time to time reasonably request with respect thereto; (ii) Lender shall have received (A) copies, or upon Lender's request, originals, of all agreements, documents and instruments relating to the sale of the Eligible New Equipment to Borrower, including, without limitation, any purchase orders, invoices, bills of sale or similar documents, and (B) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Eligible New Equipment has been received and installed by Borrower and is in good working order.

2.4 Payments; Prepayments.

(a) Payments by Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made by means as directed by Lender from time to time or as otherwise specified in the applicable Cash Management Documents.

(b) Payments by Account Debtors. Borrower shall instruct all Account Debtors to make payments either directly to the Lockbox for deposit by Lender directly to the Collection Account, or instruct them to deliver such payments to Lender by wire transfer, ACH, or other means as Lender may direct for deposit to the Lockbox or Collection Account or for direct application to reduce the outstanding Advances. If Borrower or any other Loan Party receives a payment of the Proceeds of Collateral directly, such Loan Party will promptly deposit the payment or Proceeds into the Collection Account. Until so deposited, Borrower and the other Loan Parties will hold all such payments and Proceeds in trust for Lender without commingling with other funds or property.

(c) Crediting Payments. For purposes of calculating Availability and the accrual of interest on outstanding Obligations, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Cash Management Documents or as otherwise agreed between Borrower and Lender, each payment shall be applied to the Obligations as of the first Business Day following the Business Day of deposit to the Collection Account of immediately available funds or other receipt of immediately available funds by Lender provided such payment is received in accordance with Lender’s usual and customary practices as in effect from time to time. Any payment received by Lender that is not a transfer of immediately available funds shall be considered provisional until the item or items representing such payment have been finally paid under applicable law. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment, and that portion of Borrower’s outstanding Obligations corresponding to the amount of such dishonored payment item shall be deemed to bear interest as if the dishonored payment item had never been received by Lender. Each reduction in outstanding Advances resulting from the application of such payment to the outstanding Advances may be accompanied by an equal reduction in the amount of outstanding Accounts, in Lender’s Permitted Discretion.

(d) Application of Payments. All Collections and all Proceeds of Collateral received by Lender shall be applied, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to reduce the outstanding Obligations in such manner as Lender shall determine in its discretion. After payment in full in cash of all Obligations, any remaining balance shall be transferred to the Designated Account or otherwise to such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law. Amounts collected by Lender from a Loan Party in relation to or for the account of Bank Product Obligations shall be remitted to the applicable Bank Product Provider.

(e) Mandatory Prepayments. If, at any time, the Revolver Usage exceeds (A) the Borrowing Base or (B) the Maximum Revolver Amount, less Reserves (in accordance with Section 2.1(c)) at such time (such excess amount described in clauses (A) and (B) being referred to as the “Overadvance Amount”), then Borrower shall immediately upon demand, prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to the Overadvance Amount. If payment in full of the outstanding revolving loans is insufficient to eliminate the Overadvance Amount and Letter of Credit Usage continues to exceed the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall maintain Letter of Credit Collateralization of the outstanding Letter of Credit Usage. Lender shall not be obligated to provide any Advances during any period that an Overadvance Amount is outstanding.

2.5 [Intentionally Omitted]

2.6 Interest Rates: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in Sections 2.6(b) and 2.14, the principal amount of all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and Bank Products) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to the Interest Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and at any time following the Termination Date, at the discretion of Lender,

(i) the principal amount of all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and Bank Products) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 3 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable thereunder, and

(ii) the Letter of Credit fee provided for in Section 2.12 shall be increased by three (3%) percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder.

For avoidance of doubt, Lender may assess the Default Rate commencing on the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default irrespective of the date of reporting or declaration of such Event of Default.

(c) Payment. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in Section 2.12, all interest, all Letter of Credit fees, all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all Lender Expenses shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, from time to time without prior notice to Borrower, to charge all interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (in each case, as and when due and payable), all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (in each case, as and when accrued or incurred), all Lender Expenses (as and when accrued or incurred), and all fees and costs provided for in Section 2.12 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payment obligations as and when due and payable under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement (including any amounts due and payable to any Bank Product Provider in respect of Bank Products that Borrower has not otherwise made payment of or provided for) to the Loan Account, which amounts shall thereupon constitute Advances hereunder and, shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances. Any interest, fees, costs, expenses, Lender Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any Bank Product Agreement that are charged to the Loan Account shall thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances.

(d) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue. In the event the Interest Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Interest Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Interest Rate.

(e) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and Lender, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

2.7 Designated Account. Borrower agrees to establish and maintain one or more Designated Accounts, each in the name of Borrower, for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrower and made by Lender hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Lender and Borrower, any Advance requested by Borrower and made by Lender hereunder shall be made to the applicable Designated Account.

2.8 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Lender shall maintain an account on its Books in the name of Borrower (the “Loan Account”) in which will be recorded all Advances made by Lender to Borrower or for Borrower’s account, the Letters of Credit issued or arranged by Lender for Borrower’s account, and all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and to the extent payment is charged to the Loan Account, for payments under Bank Product Agreements, including accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.4 and Section 2.5, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Lender from Borrower or for Borrower’s account. All monthly statements delivered by Lender to Borrower regarding the Loan Account, including with respect to principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Expenses owing, shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Lender but shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and Lender unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Lender written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.

2.9 Maturity Termination Dates. Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the earliest of (i) November 6, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”) or (ii) the date Borrower terminates the Revolving Credit Facility, or (iii) the date the Revolving Credit Facility terminates pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 10.2 following an Event of Default (the earliest of these dates, the “Termination Date”). The foregoing notwithstanding, Lender shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. Borrower promises to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses, including Lender Expenses) in full on the Termination Date (other than any Hedge Obligations, which shall be paid in accordance with the applicable Hedge Agreement).

2.10 Effect of Maturity. On the Termination Date, all obligations of Lender to provide additional credit hereunder shall automatically be terminated and all of the Obligations (other than any Hedge Obligations which shall be terminated in accordance with the applicable Hedge Agreement) shall immediately become due and payable without notice or demand and Borrower shall immediately repay all of the Obligations in full. No termination of the obligations of Lender (other than cash payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the obligations of Lender to provide additional credit hereunder) shall relieve or discharge any Loan Party of its duties, obligations, or covenants hereunder or under any other Loan Document and Lender’s Liens in the Collateral shall continue to secure the Obligations and shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and Lender’s obligations to provide additional credit hereunder shall have been terminated. Provided that there are no suits, actions, proceedings or claims pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person under this Agreement with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities, Lender shall, at Borrower’s expense, release or terminate any filings or other agreements that perfect Lender’s Liens in the Collateral, upon Lender’s receipt of each of the following, in form and content satisfactory to Lender: (i) cash payment in full of all Obligations (including any Hedge Obligations subject, however, to the next sentence) and completed performance by Borrower with respect to its other obligations under this Agreement (including Letter of Credit Collateralization with respect to all outstanding Letter of Credit Usage), (ii) evidence that any obligation of Lender to make Advances to Borrower or provide any further credit to Borrower has been terminated, (iii) a general release of all claims against Lender and its Affiliates by Borrower and each Loan Party relating to Lender’s performance and obligations under the Loan Documents, and (iv) an agreement by Borrower and each Guarantor to indemnify Lender and its Affiliates for any payments received by Lender or its Affiliates that are applied to the Obligations as a final payoff that may subsequently be returned or otherwise not paid for any reason. With respect to any outstanding Hedge Obligations which are not so paid in full, the Bank Product Provider may require Borrower to cash collateralize the then existing Hedge Obligations in an amount acceptable to Lender prior to releasing or terminating any filings or other agreements that perfect Lender’s Liens in the Collateral.

2.11 Termination or Reduction by Borrower; Uncommitted Accordion.

(a) Borrower may terminate the Credit Facility or reduce the Maximum Revolver Amount at any time prior to the Maturity Date, if it (i) delivers a notice to Lender of its intentions at least 30 days prior to the proposed action, (ii) pays to Lender the applicable termination fee, reduction fee or prepayment fee set forth in Schedule 2.12, and (iii) pays the Obligations (other than any outstanding Hedge Obligations, which shall be paid in accordance with the applicable Hedge Agreement) in full or down to the reduced Maximum Revolver Amount, as applicable. Any reduction in the Maximum Revolver Amount shall be in multiples of $100,000, with a minimum reduction of at least $1,000,000. Each such termination, reduction or prepayment shall be irrevocable. Once reduced, the Maximum Revolver Amount may not be increased.

(b) The applicable termination fee, reduction fee and prepayment fee set forth in Schedule 2.12 shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by Lender as a result of an early termination, reduction or prepayment, as applicable and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing (including the borrowings that are reasonably expected by Borrower hereunder and the interest, fees and other charges that are reasonably expected to be received by Lender hereunder). In addition, Lender shall be entitled to such early termination fee upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 9.4 and 9.5 hereof, even if Lender does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement, but elects, at its option, to provide financing to Borrower or permit the use of cash collateral during an Insolvency Proceeding. The early termination fee, reduction fee and prepayment fee, as applicable, provided for in Schedule 2.12 shall be deemed included in the Obligations.

(c) At any time after the Closing Date, Borrower, by written notice to Lender (a “Borrowing Increase Request”), may elect to request a single increase to the Maximum Revolver Amount in minimum increments of $1,000,000, not to exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate, and such request may be granted by Lender in its sole discretion, so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of the request, or will exist after giving effect to such request, (ii) Borrower pays the one-time Uncommitted Accordion Activation Fee of $50,000, (iii) Lender, in its sole discretion, elects to grant such increase, and (iv) Borrower satisfies any conditions to such increase that are imposed by Lender in its sole discretion. Any increased Maximum Revolver Amount approved by Lender, and all Advances thereunder, shall be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Guaranties.

2.12 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender the fees set forth on Schedule 2.12 attached hereto.

2.13 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of Borrower made in accordance herewith, Lender agrees to issue the requested Letter of Credit (or, if applicable, to amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit) for the account of Borrower. By submitting a request to Lender for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Lender issue the requested Letter of Credit. Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be irrevocable and shall be made in writing by an Authorized Person and delivered to Lender via tele facsimile, or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to Lender and reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (i) shall specify (A) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (B) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, (C) the proposed expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, and (E) such other information (including, the conditions to drawing, and, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit, and (ii) shall be accompanied by such Letter of Credit Agreements as Lender may request or require, to the extent that such requests or requirements are consistent with the Letter of Credit Agreements that Lender generally requests for Letters of Credit in similar circumstances, and any such Letter of Credit Agreements shall control with respect to each Letter of Credit issued thereunder to the extent of any inconsistency with this Agreement. Lender’s records of the content of any such request will be conclusive.

(b) Lender shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend a Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension, the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the lesser of: (i) the Borrowing Base at such time less the outstanding amount of Advances at such time, or (ii) $10,000,000.

(c) Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any law applicable to Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Lender shall prohibit or request that Lender refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, or (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

(d) Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars, and shall expire on a date no more than 12 months after the date of issuance or last renewal of such Letter of Credit, which date shall be no later than the Maturity Date. If Lender makes a payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay Lender an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the Business Day such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 4 or this Section 2.13) and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances. If a Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrower’s obligation to pay the amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement to Lender shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay Lender such resulting Advance.

(e) Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender (including its branches, Affiliates, and correspondents) and each such Person’s respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, a “Letter of Credit Related Person”) (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any such Letter of Credit Related Person (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16) (the “Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of: (i) any Letter of Credit or any pre-advice of its issuance; (ii) any transfer, sale, delivery, surrender or endorsement of any Drawing Document at any time(s) held by any such Letter of Credit Related Person in connection with any Letter of Credit; (iii) any action or proceeding arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration), including any action or proceeding to compel or restrain any presentation or payment under any Letter of Credit, or for the wrongful dishonor of, or honoring a presentation under, any Letter of Credit; (iv) any independent undertakings issued by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit; (v) any unauthorized instruction or request made to Lender in connection with any Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit or error in computer or electronic transmission; (vi) an adviser, confirmer or other nominated person seeking to be reimbursed, indemnified or compensated; (vii) any third party seeking to enforce the rights of an applicant, beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of Letter of Credit proceeds or holder of an instrument or document; (viii) the fraud, forgery or illegal action of parties other than the Letter of Credit Related Person; (ix) Lender’s performance of the obligations of a confirming institution or entity that wrongfully dishonors a confirmation; or (x) the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto governmental or regulatory authority or cause or event beyond the control of the Letter of Credit Related Person; in each case, including that resulting from the Letter of Credit Related Person’s own negligence; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification under clauses (i) through (x) above to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees to pay the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity on demand from time to time all amounts owing under this Section 2.13(e). If and to the extent that the obligations of Borrower under this Section 2.13(e) are unenforceable for any reason, Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to the Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs permissible under applicable law. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.

(f) The liability of Lender (or any other Letter of Credit Related Person) under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by Borrower that are caused directly by Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit. Lender shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if Lender’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower’s aggregate remedies against Lender and any Letter of Credit Related Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by Borrower to Lender in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such Letter of Credit under Section 2.13(d), plus interest at the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder. Borrower shall take commercially reasonable action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against Lender or any other Letter of Credit Related Person, including by enforcing its rights against the beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit. Any claim by Borrower under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount (if any) saved by Borrower as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct complained of; and (y) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had Borrower taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, and in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing Lender to effect a cure.

(g) Borrower is responsible for preparing or approving the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by Lender, irrespective of any assistance Lender may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Lender’s use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrower. Borrower is solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for Borrower’s purposes. With respect to any Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Letter of Credit and, if Borrower does not at any time want such Letter of Credit to be renewed, Borrower will so notify Lender at least 15 calendar days before Lender is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such nonrenewal pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(h) Borrower’s reimbursement and payment obligations under this Section 2.13 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including: (i) any lack of validity, enforceability or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any term or provision therein or herein; (ii) payment against presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Drawing Document that does not comply in whole or in part with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit or which proves to be fraudulent, forged or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person or a transferee of such Person purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit; (iii) Lender or any of its branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit; (iv) Lender or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any Letter of Credit even if such Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the Letter of Credit; (v) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, Lender or any other Person; (vi) any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might, but for this Section 2.13(h), constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ reimbursement and other payment obligations and liabilities, arising under, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit, whether against Lender, the beneficiary or any other Person; or (vii) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, however, that subject to Section 2.13(f) above, the foregoing shall not release Lender from such liability to Borrower as may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction against Lender following reimbursement or payment of the obligations and liabilities, including reimbursement and other payment obligations, of Borrower to Lender arising under, or in connection with, this Section 2.13 or any Letter of Credit.

(i) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Lender and each other Letter of Credit Related Person (if applicable) shall not be responsible to Borrower for, and Lender’s rights and remedies against Borrower and the obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall not be impaired by: (i) honor of a presentation under any Letter of Credit that on its face substantially complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, even if the Letter of Credit requires strict compliance by the beneficiary; (ii) honor of a presentation of any Drawing Document that appears on its face to have been signed, presented or issued (A) by any purported successor or transferee of any beneficiary or other Person required to sign, present or issue such Drawing Document or (B) under a new name of the beneficiary; (iii) acceptance as a draft of any written or electronic demand or request for payment under a Letter of Credit, even if nonnegotiable or not in the form of a draft or notwithstanding any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; (iv) the identity or authority of any presenter or signer of any Drawing Document or the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Drawing Document (other than Lender’s determination that such Drawing Document appears on its face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit); (v) acting upon any instruction or request relative to a Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit that Lender in good faith believes to have been given by a Person authorized to give such instruction or request; (vi) any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, advice or document (regardless of how sent or transmitted) or for errors in interpretation of technical terms or in translation or any delay in giving or failing to give notice to Borrower; (vii) any acts, omissions or fraud by, or the insolvency of, any beneficiary, any nominated person or entity or any other Person or any breach of contract between any beneficiary and Borrower or any of the parties to the underlying transaction to which the Letter of Credit relates; (viii) assertion or waiver of any provision of the ISP or UCP 600 that primarily benefits an issuer of a letter of credit, including any requirement that any Drawing Document be presented to it at a particular hour or place; (ix) payment to any paying or negotiating bank (designated or permitted by the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored or is entitled to reimbursement or indemnity under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to it; (x) acting or failing to act as required or permitted under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to where Lender has issued, confirmed, advised or negotiated such Letter of Credit, as the case may be; (xi) honor of a presentation after the expiration date of any Letter of Credit notwithstanding that a presentation was made prior to such expiration date and dishonored by Lender if subsequently Lender or any court or other finder of fact determines such presentation should have been honored; (xii) dishonor of any presentation that does not strictly comply or that is fraudulent, forged or otherwise not entitled to honor; or (xiii) honor of a presentation that is subsequently determined by Lender to have been made in violation of international, federal, state or local restrictions on the transaction of business with certain prohibited Persons.

(j) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any and all fees, charges, costs, or commissions in effect from time to time imposed by, and any and all expenses incurred by, Lender, or by any adviser, confirming institution or entity or other nominated Person relating to Letters of Credit, at the time of issuance of any Letter of Credit and upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any Letter of Credit (including transfers, assignment of proceeds, amendments, drawings, renewals or cancellations), shall be non-refundable Lender Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and shall be reimbursable immediately by Borrower to Lender.

(k) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by Lender with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Board of Governors as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto): (i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued or caused to be issued hereunder or hereby, or (ii) there shall be imposed on Lender any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit, and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to Lender of issuing, making, participating in, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, Lender may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower, and Borrower shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as Lender may specify to be necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder; provided, that (A) Borrower shall not be required to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13(k) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to Borrower, and (B) if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by Lender of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.13(k), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

(l) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Lender and Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP and UCP 600 shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of UCP 600 shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(m) In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.13 and any provision contained in any Letter of Credit Agreement, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.13 shall control and govern.

2.14 Illegality; Impracticability; Increased Costs. In the event that (i) any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof make it unlawful or impractical for Lender to fund or maintain extensions of credit with interest based upon Daily Three Month LIBOR or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Daily Three Month LIBOR, (ii) Lender determines that by reasons affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Daily Three Month LIBOR, or (iii) Lender determines that the interest rate based on the Daily Three Month LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining or funding Advances at the interest rate based upon Daily Three Month LIBOR, Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Borrower and (i) interest on the principal amount of such extensions of credit thereafter shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and (ii) Borrower shall not be entitled to elect Daily Three Month LIBOR until Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so or that such increased costs would no longer be applicable.

2.15 Capital Requirements. If, after the date hereof, Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital or reserve requirements for lenders, banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation, implementation, or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, including those changes resulting from the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or (ii) compliance by Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of Lender’s loan commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material, then Lender may notify Borrower thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay Lender on demand the amount of such reduction on return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by Lender of a statement of the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3. SECURITY INTEREST.

3.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower and each Loan Party hereby unconditionally grants, assigns, and pledges to Lender for the benefit of Lender and each Bank Product Provider, to secure payment and performance of the Obligations, a continuing security interest (hereinafter referred to as the “Security Interest”) in all of such Borrower’s and Loan Party’s right, title, and interest in and to the Collateral, as security for the payment and performance of all Obligations. Following request by Lender, Borrower and each Loan Party shall grant Lender a Lien and security interest in all Commercial Tort Claims that it may have against any Person. The Security Interest created hereby secures the payment and performance of the Obligations, whether now existing or arising hereafter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by Borrower or any other Loan Party to Lender or any other Bank Product Provider, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable (in whole or in part) as a claim in an Insolvency Proceeding involving Borrower due to the existence of such Insolvency Proceeding.

3.2 Borrower Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) Borrower and each other Loan Party shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral to perform all of the duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by Lender of any of the rights hereunder shall not release Borrower or any other Loan Party from any of its duties or obligations under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, and (c) Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Borrower or any other Loan Party thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

3.3 Assignment of Insurance. As additional security for the Obligations, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby assigns to Lender for the benefit of Lender and each Bank Product Provider all rights of Borrower and such Loan Party under every policy of insurance covering the Collateral and all other assets and property of Borrower and each other Loan Party (including, without limitation business interruption insurance and proceeds thereof) and all business records and other documents relating to it, and all monies (including proceeds and refunds) that may be payable under any policy, and Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby directs the issuer of each policy to pay all such monies directly and solely to Lender. At any time, whether or not a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender may (but need not), in Lender’s or Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s name, execute and deliver proofs of claim, receive payment of proceeds and endorse checks and other instruments representing payment of the policy of insurance, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release claims against the issuer of any policy. Any monies received under any insurance policy assigned to Lender, other than liability insurance policies, or received as payment of any award or compensation for condemnation or taking by eminent domain, shall be paid to Lender and, as determined by Lender in its Permitted Discretion, may be applied to prepayment of the Obligations or disbursed to Borrower under payment terms reasonably satisfactory to Lender for application to the cost of repairs, replacements, or restorations of the affected Collateral which shall be effected with reasonable promptness and shall be of a value at least equal to the value of the items or property destroyed.

3.4 Financing Statements. Borrower and each other Loan Party authorizes Lender to file financing statements describing Collateral to perfect Lender’s and each Bank Product Provider’s Security Interest in the Collateral, and Lender may describe the Collateral as “all personal property” or “all assets” or describe specific items of Collateral including without limitation any Commercial Tort Claims. All financing statements filed before the date of this Agreement to perfect the Security Interest were authorized by Borrower and each other Loan Party and are hereby ratified.

3.5 Release of Collateral. Upon the closing of the Permitted Foreign Subsidiary Reorganization, certain of the Foreign Located Assets of one or more of the Loan Parties included in Collateral will be transferred from branches of such Loan Party in a foreign jurisdiction to a Foreign Subsidiary of such Loan Party, whereupon such assets and properties will be deemed to be excluded from the Collateral, automatically and without the need for any further action.

4. CONDITIONS.

4.1 Conditions Precedent to the Initial Extension of Credit. The obligation of Lender to make the initial extension of credit provided for hereunder is subject to the fulfillment, to the satisfaction of Lender, of each of the conditions precedent set forth on Exhibit B.

4.2 Conditions Precedent to all Extensions of Credit. The obligation of Lender to make any Advances hereunder (or to extend any other credit hereunder) at any time shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:

(a) the representations and warranties of Borrower and each other Loan Party or its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date of such extension of credit, as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct as of such earlier date); and

(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension of credit, nor shall either result from the making thereof.

Any request for an extension of credit shall be deemed to be a representation by Borrower and each other Loan Party that the statements set forth in this Section 4.2 are correct as of the time of such request and if such extension of credit is a request for an Advance or a Letter of Credit, sufficient Availability exists for such Advance or Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.13.

4.3 Conditions Subsequent. The obligation of Lender to continue to make Advances (or otherwise extend credit hereunder) is subject to the fulfillment, on or before the date applicable thereto, of the conditions subsequent set forth on Exhibit C (the failure by Borrower or any other Loan Party to so perform or cause to be performed such conditions subsequent as and when required by the terms thereof, shall constitute an Event of Default).

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

In order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement, Borrower, and each other Loan Party makes the representations and warranties to Lender set forth on Exhibit D. Each of such representations and warranties shall be true, correct, and complete, in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), as of the Closing Date, and shall be true, correct, and complete, in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), as of the date of the making of each Advance or other extension of credit made thereafter, as though made on and as of the date of such Advance or other extension of credit (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date in which case such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct as of such earlier date) and such representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

Borrower and each other Loan Party covenants and agrees that, until termination of all of the commitments of Lender hereunder to provide any further extensions of credit and payment in full of the Obligations, Borrower and each other Loan Party shall and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to comply with each of the following:

6.1 Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates. Deliver to Lender copies of each of the financial statements, reports, and other items set forth on Schedule 6.1 no later than the times specified therein. In addition, Borrower agrees that no Loan Party or domestic Subsidiary of Borrower will have a fiscal year different from that of Borrower. Borrower agrees to maintain a system of accounting that enables Borrower to produce financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Each Loan Party shall also (a) keep a reporting system that shows all additions, sales, claims, returns, and allowances with respect to the sales of such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries, and (b) maintain its billing systems/practices substantially as in effect as of the Closing Date and shall only make material modifications following prior notice to Lender.

6.2 Collateral Reporting. Provide Lender with each of the reports set forth on Schedule 6.2 at the times specified therein. In addition, Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts in cooperation with Lender to facilitate and implement a system of electronic collateral reporting in order to provide electronic reporting of each of the items set forth on such Schedule.

6.3 Existence. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.3 or Section 7.4, each Loan Party and any domestic Subsidiary shall at all times maintain and preserve in full force and effect (a) its existence (including being in good standing in its jurisdiction of organization) and (b) all rights and franchises, contracts, licenses and permits material to its business; provided, however, that no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to preserve any such right or franchise, licenses, contracts, or permits if such Person’s Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of such Person, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to such Person or to Lender; provided that Borrower delivers at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender of the election of such Loan Party or such Subsidiary not to preserve any such right or franchise, contract, license or permit.

6.4 Maintenance of Properties. Maintain and preserve all of its assets, including, without limitation, Eligible Existing Equipment and Eligible New Equipment, that are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear, tear and casualty excepted and Permitted Dispositions excepted (and except where the failure to so maintain and preserve such assets could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change), and comply with the material provisions of all material leases and licenses to which it is a party as lessee or licensee, so as to prevent the loss or forfeiture thereof, unless such provisions are the subject of a Permitted Protest.

6.5 Taxes.

(a) Cause all assessments and taxes imposed, levied, or assessed against any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses, or franchises to be paid in full, before delinquency or before the expiration of any extension period, except to the extent that the validity of such assessment or tax shall be the subject of a Permitted Protest and so long as, in the case of an assessment or tax that has or may become a Lien against any of the Collateral, (i) such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such assessment or tax, and (ii) any such Lien is at all times subordinate to Lender’s Liens.

(b) Make timely payment or deposit of all tax payments and withholding taxes required of it and them by applicable laws, including those laws concerning F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A., state disability, and local, state, and federal income taxes, and will, upon request, furnish Lender with proof reasonably satisfactory to Lender indicating that such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries have made such payments or deposits.

6.6 Insurance. At Borrower’s expense, maintain insurance with respect to the assets of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries wherever located, covering liabilities, losses or damages as are customarily insured against by other Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses, including, without limitation, the insurance coverage set forth in Schedule 6.6. All such policies of insurance shall be with financially sound and reputable insurance companies acceptable to Lender and in such amounts as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated and located and in any event in amount, adequacy and scope reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All property insurance policies covering the Collateral are to be made payable to Lender for the benefit of Lender, as its interests may appear, in case of loss, pursuant to a lender loss payable endorsement acceptable to Lender and are to contain such other provisions as Lender may reasonably require to fully protect Lender’s interest in the Collateral and to any payments to be made under such policies. Such evidence of property and general liability insurance shall be delivered to Lender, with the lender loss payable endorsements (but only in respect of Collateral) and additional insured endorsements (with respect to general liability coverage) in favor of Lender and shall provide for not less than 30 days (10 days in the case of non-payment) prior written notice to Lender of the exercise of any right of cancellation. If Borrower fails to maintain such insurance, Lender may arrange for such insurance, but at Borrower’s expense and without any responsibility on Lender’s part for obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection of claims. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any loss exceeding $250,000 covered by its casualty or business interruption insurance. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the sole right to file claims under any property and general liability insurance policies in respect of the Collateral, to receive and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies.

6.7 Inspections, Exams, Collateral Exams and Appraisals. Permit Lender and each of Lender’s duly authorized representatives to visit any of its properties, or cause any other Person to allow Lender to visit any such Person’s property on which any Collateral is located, and inspect any of any Loan Party’s assets or Books and Records, to conduct inspections, exams and appraisals of the Collateral, to examine and make copies of its Books and Records, and to discuss its affairs, finances, and accounts with, and to be advised as to the same by, its officers and employees at such reasonable times and intervals as Lender may designate and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, with reasonable prior notice to Borrower.

6.8 Account Verification. Permit Lender, in Lender's name or in the name of a nominee of Lender, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Account, by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise. Further, at the request of Lender, each Loan Party shall send requests for verification of Accounts or send notices of assignment of Accounts to Account Debtors and other obligors.

6.9 Compliance with Laws. Comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any Governmental Authority, other than laws, rules, regulations, and orders the non-compliance with which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, subject to Loan Parties’ right to engage in a Permitted Protest.

6.10 Environmental.

(a) Keep any property either owned or operated by Borrower or any other Loan Party free of any Environmental Liens or post bonds or other financial assurances satisfactory to Lender and in an amount sufficient to satisfy the obligations or liability evidenced by such Environmental Liens, subject to Loan Parties’ right to engage in a Permitted Protest so long as, in the case of an Environmental Lien that has become a Lien against any of the Collateral, (i) such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such Environmental Lien(s), and (ii) any such other Lien is at all times subordinate to Lender’s Liens;

(b) Comply, in all material respects, with Environmental Laws and provide to Lender documentation of such compliance which Lender reasonably requests, subject to Loan Parties’ right to engage in a Permitted Protest;

(c) Promptly notify Lender of any release of which Borrower or any other Loan Party has knowledge of a Hazardous Material in any reportable quantity from or onto property owned or operated by Borrower or any other Loan Party and take any Remedial Actions required to abate said release or otherwise to come into compliance, in all material respects, with applicable Environmental Law; and

(d) Promptly, but in any event within 5 Business Days of its receipt thereof, provide Lender with written notice of any of the following: (i) notice that an Environmental Lien has been filed against any of the real or personal property of any Loan Party or its domestic Subsidiaries, (ii) commencement of any Environmental Action or written notice that an Environmental Action will be filed against any Loan Party or any of its domestic Subsidiaries, and (iii) written notice of a violation, citation, or other administrative order from a Governmental Authority located in the United States or Canada.

6.11 Disclosure Updates.

(a) Promptly and in no event later than 5 Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof or after the occurrence thereof, whichever is earlier, notify Lender:

(i) if any written information, exhibit, or report furnished to Lender contained, at the time it was furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which made.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, if Borrower or any other Loan Party refuses or fails to execute or deliver any reasonably requested Additional Documents, such Borrower and such other Loan Party hereby authorizes Lender to execute any such Additional Documents in the applicable Loan Party’s name, as applicable, and authorizes Lender to file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing office. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Loan Party shall take such actions as Lender may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations are guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by substantially all of the assets of Borrower and each other Loan Party other than Excluded Property (but including Pledgor Foreign Property and ABL Lender Permitted Collateral).

(b) Borrower and each other Loan Party authorizes the filing by Lender of financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such Loan Party will execute and deliver to Lender such other instruments or notices, as Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby under applicable Legal Requirements in the United States.

(c) Borrower and each other Loan Party authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time to file, transmit, or communicate, as applicable, financing statements and amendments (i) describing the Collateral as “all personal property of debtor” or “all assets of debtor” or words of similar effect, (ii) describing the Collateral as being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, or (iii) that contain any information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of such financing statement. Borrower and each other Loan Party also hereby ratifies any and all financing statements or amendments previously filed by Lender in any jurisdiction.

NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

Borrower and each Loan Party covenants and agrees that, until termination of all of the commitments of Lender hereunder to provide any further extensions of credit and payment in full of the Obligations, neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party will do, nor will Borrower or any other Loan Party permit any of their domestic Subsidiaries to do any of the following:

7.1 Indebtedness.

(a) Create, incur, assume, suffer to exist, guarantee, or otherwise become or remain, directly or indirectly, liable with respect to any Indebtedness, except for Permitted Indebtedness.

(b) Incur any Permitted Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of a Loan Party unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Borrower solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior Lien basis.

For purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.1, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.1(a), Borrower will be permitted to classify and divide such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, and later reclassify and redivide all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness among any one or more of such clauses and/or Section 7.1(a), in any manner that complies with Section 7.1. Indebtedness under this Agreement will initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that any Loan Party may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. In determining the amount of Indebtedness outstanding, the outstanding amount of any particular Indebtedness of any Person shall be counted only once.

7.2 Liens. Create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist, directly or indirectly, any (a) Lien on or with respect to any of its assets, of any kind, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, except for Permitted Liens; or (b) Lien of any subcontractor of Borrower or any other Loan Party on the assets of any customer of Borrower or any other Loan Party, unless, and to the extent, such subcontractor Lien is discharged, satisfied, vacated, bonded, or stayed within seven (7) days thereof.

(b) Liquidate, wind up, or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution), except for (i) the liquidation or dissolution of non-operating Subsidiaries of Borrower with nominal assets and nominal liabilities, (ii) the liquidation or dissolution of a Loan Party (other than a Borrower) or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries so long as all of the assets (including any interest in any Stock) of such liquidating or dissolving Loan Party or Subsidiary are transferred to a Loan Party that is not liquidating or dissolving, or (iii) the liquidation or dissolution of a Subsidiary of a Borrower that is not a Loan Party (other than any such Subsidiary the Stock of which (or any portion thereof) is subject to a Lien in favor of Lender) so long as all of the assets of such liquidating or dissolving Subsidiary are transferred to a Subsidiary of a Borrower that is not liquidating or dissolving.

(c) Suspend or cease operation of a substantial portion of its or their business, except as permitted pursuant to Sections 7.3(a) or (b) above or in connection with the transactions permitted pursuant to Section 7.4.

7.4 Disposal of Assets. Other than Permitted Dispositions or transactions expressly permitted by Section 7.3 or Section 7.12, sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral or any other asset except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. Lender shall not be deemed to have consented to any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral or any other asset except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

7.5 Change of Name. Change the name, organizational identification number, state of organization, organizational identity or “location” for purposes of Section 9-307 of the Code of any Loan Party, or, other than in order to consummate any Permitted Foreign Subsidiary Reorganization, change the name, organizational identification number, state of organization, organizational identity or “location” for purposes of Section 9-307 of the Code of any Loan Party’s Subsidiaries.

7.6 Nature of Business. Make any change in the nature of its or their business as conducted on the date of this Agreement or acquire any properties or assets that are not reasonably related to the conduct of such business activities; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries from engaging in any business that is reasonably related or ancillary to its business.

(iv) make any Investment other than Permitted Investments, (all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (i) through (iii) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”).

10.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

10.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document or by applicable law, do any one or more of the following:

(a) declare the Obligations (other than the Hedge Obligations, which may be accelerated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreement), whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any of the other Loan Documents (including the Revolving Note) immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable and Borrower shall be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and each other Loan Party;

(b) declare the funding obligations of Lender under this Agreement terminated, whereupon such funding obligations shall immediately be terminated together with any obligation of Lender hereunder to make Advances, extend any other credit hereunder or issue Letters of Credit;

(c) give notice to an Account Debtor or other Person obligated to pay an Account, a General Intangible, Negotiable Collateral, or other amount due, notice that the Account, General Intangible, Negotiable Collateral or other amount due has been assigned to Lender for security and must be paid directly to Lender and Lender may collect the Accounts, General Intangible and Negotiable Collateral of Borrower and each other Loan Party directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of the Obligations under the Loan Documents;

(d) in Lender’s name or in each Loan Party’s name, as such Loan Party’s agent and attorney-in-fact, notify the United States Postal Service to change the address for delivery of mail to any address designated by Lender, otherwise intercept mail, and receive, open and dispose of such Loan Party’s mail, applying all Collateral as permitted under this Agreement and holding all other mail for such Loan Party’s account or forwarding such mail to such Loan Party’s last known address;

(e) without notice to or consent from any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and without any obligation to pay rent or other compensation, take exclusive possession of all locations where any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries conduct its business or has any rights of possession and use the locations to store, process, manufacture, sell, use, and liquidate or otherwise dispose of items that are Collateral, and for any other incidental purposes deemed appropriate by Lender in good faith, including, without limitation, the right, in Lender’s Permitted Discretion, through any Person or otherwise, to enter upon any job site and complete any portion of any of Borrower’s projects as Lender deems necessary to collect or realize on any Collateral; and

(f) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Intercreditor Agreement, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law.

10.2 Additional Rights and Remedies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower expressly agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(a) Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Loan Parties to, and Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available to Lender at one or more locations designated by Lender where such Borrower or other Loan Party conducts business, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Lender’s or Loan Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Lender may deem commercially reasonable. Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that Borrower and each Loan Party’s Equipment is highly specialized and not widely marketable, and as such, Lender shall not be required to widely or generally advertise any private or public sale of such Equipment. Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days’ notice to such Borrower or such other Loan Party of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time, and such sale may be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code. Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that any sale of Collateral to a counterparty to a Material Contract, or to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and Borrower or such other Loan Party, is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Code;

(b) Lender may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon any Loan Party or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), (i) with respect to any Loan Party’s Deposit Accounts in which Lender’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the Code, instruct the bank maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Loan Party to pay the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of Lender, and (ii) with respect to any Loan Party’s Securities Accounts in which Lender’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-106 of the Code, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the applicable Loan Party to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of Lender, or (B) liquidate any financial assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of Lender;

(c) any cash held by Lender as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 10.5. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Obligations in full, Borrower and each other Loan Party shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency; and

(d) the Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and that if an Event of Default shall occur Lender shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Lender shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for each Loan Party or for the properties and assets of each Loan Party, and Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Borrower or such other Loan Party may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Lender, and further agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such receiver may be granted the power to sell any Collateral, subject only to Lender’s rights therein. Borrower acknowledges that the nature of its business, which includes progress billing, technical contracts, and the use of Equipment in varied and remote locations, renders the appointment of a receiver reasonably necessary and, makes other remedies inadequate for the liquidation of the Collateral, to the extent Lender elects to proceed with such appointment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.1, upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default described in Section 9.4 or Section 9.5, in addition to the remedies set forth above, without any notice to Borrower or any other Person or any act by Lender, all obligations of Lender to provide any further extensions of credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations (other than the Hedge Obligations), shall automatically and immediately become due and payable and Borrower shall be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

10.3 Lender Appointed Attorney in Fact. Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and such Loan Party and in the name of Borrower or such Loan Party or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:

(i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Accounts or any other Collateral of such Borrower or such other Loan Party;

(ii) to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, Negotiable Collateral or Chattel Paper;

(iii) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of such Borrower or such other Loan Party or otherwise to enforce the rights of Lender with respect to any of the Collateral;

(iv) to repair, alter, or supply Goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Person obligated to Borrower or such other Loan Party in respect of any Account of such Borrower or such other Loan Party;

(v) to use any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of such Borrower or such other Loan Party including but not limited to any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, or advertising matter, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale, or selling Inventory or other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Borrower or such other Loan Party;

(vi) to take exclusive possession of all locations where Borrower or other Loan Party conducts its business or has rights of possession, without notice to or consent of Borrower or any Loan Party and to use such locations to store, process, manufacture, sell, use, and liquidate or otherwise dispose of items that are Collateral, without obligation to pay rent or other compensation for the possession or use of any location;

(vii) Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name or in the applicable Loan Party’s name, to enforce the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if Lender shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Borrower or such other Loan Party shall, at the request of Lender, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by Lender in aid of such enforcement; and

(viii) to the extent permitted by law, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all commitments of Lender under this Agreement to provide extensions of credit are terminated and all Obligations have been paid in full in cash.

10.4 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Default or Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

10.5 Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 10.1 or Lender has exercised any remedy set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments received by Lender upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied to the Obligations in such manner as Lender shall determine in its discretion and, thereafter, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law. For greater certainty, the acceleration of the Obligations under this Agreement shall in no way affect, terminate or accelerate the Hedge Obligations (which are governed by the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreement).

10.6 Marshaling. Lender shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

10.7 License. Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby grants to Lender a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to use or otherwise exploit all Intellectual Property rights of Borrower and such Loan Party for the purpose of: (a) completing the manufacture of any in-process materials following any Event of Default so that such materials become saleable Inventory, all in accordance with the same quality standards previously adopted by Borrower or such other Loan Party for its own manufacturing; and (b) selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any or all Collateral following any Event of Default.

11.

WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

11.2 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that: (a) so long as Lender complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code and this Agreement, Lender shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower and such other Loan Parties.

11.3 Indemnification. Borrower and each other Loan Party shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Lender-Related Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution and delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring, forbearance or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Bank Product Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of compliance by Borrower and each other Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries with the terms of the Loan Documents, (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto, (c) in connection with the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) with respect to the failure by Borrower or any other Loan Party to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and (f) in connection with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities or Remedial Actions related in any way to any such assets or properties of such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (each and all of the foregoing, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or its officers, directors, employees, or attorneys. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower or any other Loan Party was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower or such other Loan Party with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.

This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, all Bank Product Agreements, if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Bank Product Agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayments, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in the terms of any credit extended hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Bank Product Agreement or in this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Bank Product Provider (other than Lender in its capacity as lender hereunder) shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or any other Loan Party.

UNDER OREGON LAW, MOST AGREEMENTS, PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS MADE BY THE LENDER AFTER OCTOBER 3, 1989, CONCERNING LOANS AND OTHER CREDIT EXTENSIONS WHICH ARE NOT FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES OR SECURED SOLELY BY THE BORROWER'S RESIDENCE MUST BE IN WRITING, EXPRESS CONSIDERATION AND BE SIGNED BY THE LENDER TO BE ENFORCEABLE.

5.22 Governmental Regulation. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable.

The hours worked and payments made to employees of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable legal requirements, except to the extent such violations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. All material payments due from any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on the Books of such Loan Party, except where the failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
