(f) Subject to Section 2.05(j), no later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or Administrative Agent, of any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds received to make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.05(h); provided, that (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) to the extent that aggregate Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds from the Closing Date through the applicable date of determination which are not used or committed to repair, restore or replace the affected assets do not exceed $50,000,000, the Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries to invest such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds in other long term assets, in each case, (x) that are useful in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (y) that comprise Collateral to the extent such property or asset lost, taken or sold or otherwise Disposed of was Collateral, within one year of receipt thereof (subject to, if the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary enters into a binding commitment to reinvest such proceeds not later than the end of such one-year period with the good faith expectation that such proceeds will be applied to satisfy such reinvestment commitment within one hundred eighty (180) days, an extension for a period of up to an additional one hundred eighty (180) days from the end of such one-year period).

(g) Subject to Section 2.05(j), on the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.03), the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, to make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.05(h).

(h) Mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(A) pro rata to prepay that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof plus all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, the applicable call premium set forth in Section 2.05(b) together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05, in each case ratably between Tranche A-1 Term Loans and Tranche A-2 Term Loans; provided that if at the time any amount is required to be paid pursuant to pursuant to clause (e), (f) or (g) of this Section 2.05, the Borrower is required to offer to repurchase Second Lien Convertible Notes or Other Pari Passu Lien Debt pursuant to the terms of the Second Lien Note Documents or Other Pari Passu Lien Debt Documents (such Second Lien Convertible Notes or Other Pari Passu Lien Debt required to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then Borrower may apply such prepayment on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided, further that the portion of such Cash proceeds allocated to Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such Cash proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Cash proceeds shall be allocated to the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Loans and to the repurchase of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to clause (e), (f) or (g) of this Section 2.05, as applicable, shall be reduced accordingly; provided further that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness repaid, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof; and

(B) the balance, if any, following the payment in full of such Obligations, and the obligations with respect to such Other Applicable Indebtedness, to be retained by the Borrower.

(i) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment required to be made pursuant to clause (e), (f) or (g) of this Section 2.05 at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter time agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its discretion) prior to the date of such prepayment (a “Prepayment Notice”). Each such Prepayment Notice shall contain a certificate of a Responsible Officer (A) demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable net proceeds (or reasonable good faith estimate thereof), (B) either specifying the projected date of such prepayment (which in no event shall be after the date of prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.05(e) or (f), as applicable) or notice of the Borrower’s intent to exercise its option to reinvest such amounts as provided under Sections 2.05(e) and (f), as applicable and (C) provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment (or reasonable good faith estimate thereof). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the contents of such Prepayment Notice and of such Lender’s pro rata

share of the applicable prepayment. In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded or was less than the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly deliver a supplemental Prepayment Notice to the Administrative Agent, which, in addition to the requirements of the initial Prepayment Notice with respect to such mandatory prepayment, shall contain a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess or shortfall. The procedures described in this Section 2.05(i) with respect to the making of such prepayment shall be followed with respect to such excess.

(j) Notwithstanding any provision of clause (e), (f) or (g) of this Section 2.05 to the contrary, amounts required to be applied to the First Lien Loan Obligations pursuant to clause (e), (f) or (g) of Section 2.05 of the First Lien Credit Agreement shall be first applied to the First Lien Loan Obligations pursuant to Section 2.05(h) of the First Lien Credit Agreement (including to cash collateralize Letters of Credit) and to the extent actually so applied shall on a dollar-for-dollar basis reduce the amount required to be applied toward prepayment pursuant to clause (e), (f) or (g) of this Section 2.05, as applicable (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that to the extent any balance is to be retained by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.05(h) of the First Lien Credit Agreement, such balances shall instead be used to make prepayments hereunder pursuant to clause (h) of this Section 2.05).

2.06 [Reserved].

2.07 Repayment of Loans. On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans made to the Borrower outstanding on such date.

2.08 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Loan that is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) (i) If any event or condition that constitutes an Event of Default under 8.01(a), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) or that, with the giving of any notice, the passage of time, or both, would be an Event of Default under 8.01(a), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) occurs, all Obligations then outstanding shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) Upon the principal amount of the outstanding Loans becoming due and payable prior to the Maturity Date, all Obligations then outstanding shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii) If a Default or Event of Default exists (other than a Default or Event Default described in clause (i) of this Section 2.08(b)), and clause (ii) of Section 2.08(b) does not apply, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at the Default Rate upon the request of the Required Lenders, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09 Fees.

(a) Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Lender party to this Agreement as a Lender of Tranche A-1 Term Loans on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Tranche A-1 Term Loan, a closing fee in an amount equal to 4.00% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Tranche A-1 Term Loan, payable to such Lender from the proceeds of its Tranche A-1 Term Loan as and when funded on the Closing Date. Such closing fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Fronting Arranger, as fee compensation for the funding of its Term Loans, an amount equal to $107,582,936.84 (the “Fronting Compensation Fee”), based on its pro rata portion of such Fronting Compensation Fee (calculated by dividing the amount of the Term Loans such Fronting Arranger funded on the Closing Date by the amount of all Term Loans all such Fronting Arrangers funded on the Closing Date, the “Arrangers Pro Rata Share”)), payable on the earliest of (i) the 13th calendar day following the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which all of the Persons identified on Schedule 2.09 (the “Schedule 2.09 Lenders”) have purchased the Loans for which trades have been entered into on or prior to the Closing Date (pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption with the Fronting Arrangers) (the “Committed Trade Loans”) or (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or 8.01(g), in the case of clause (iii) all of the Fronting Compensation Fee deposited on the Closing Date shall be immediately due and payable to the Fronting Arrangers. The date that is the earlier of the date in clause (i) and clause (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the “Blocked Account Termination Date”.

On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deposit the Fronting Compensation Fee in a non-interest bearing Deposit Account with Deutsche Bank that is subject to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Fronting Arrangers pursuant to which Deutsche Bank shall agree to comply with the Administrative Agent’s instructions with respect to the disposition of funds in such Deposit Account without further consent of the Borrower (the “Blocked Account Agreement”). The Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Arrangers, shall maintain sole dominion and control over such Deposit Account (such account, the “Fronting Compensation Fee Account”). The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Arrangers, a security interest in and continuing lien on all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Fronting Compensation Fee Account, funds on deposit therein and the proceeds thereof, and notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Lender (other than the Fronting Arrangers) shall have any right to or claim in the Fronting Compensation Fee Account or funds on deposit therein.

The Fronting Compensation Fee shall be reduced based upon the amount of the Loans purchased by such of those Schedule 2.09 Lenders as have purchased their Committed Trade Loans and satisfied their trades, in an amount equal to the sum of (a) $0.21778826 for every $1.00 so purchased and (b) 4.00% of the amount of Tranche A-2 Term Loans so purchased. Each Fronting Arranger confirms that one or more Schedule 2.09 Lenders has executed trades on or prior to the Closing Date with such Fronting Arranger that will, if executed in accordance with their terms, cause the Fronting Compensation Fee payable to such Fronting Arranger to be reduced to zero. On the Blocked Account Termination Date, the aggregate amount of such reductions shall be returned to the Borrower (and the Administrative Agent agrees to transfer any such amounts to another Deposit Account as directed by the Borrower) and any amount remaining on deposit in the Fronting Compensation Fee Account shall be paid to the Fronting Arranger in accordance with their Arrangers Pro Rata Share.

(c) In addition to any of the foregoing fees, Borrower agrees to pay to Agents fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (other than if determined by reference to the Federal Funds Effective Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed, and all computations of interest for Base Rate Loans if determined by reference to the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided, that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.11 Evidence of Debt. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint.

The failure of any Lender to make any Term Loan or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Term Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Term Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Term Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein (for the avoidance of doubt, payments of the Fronting Compensation Fee pursuant to Section 2.09(b) is payable to the Fronting Arrangers in accordance with their Arrangers Pro Rata Share), then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for Cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.14 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Borrower Request. The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request prior to the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date (the “Incremental Termination Date”), the establishment of one new term loan commitment (an “Incremental Term

Commitment”), in an aggregate amount not in excess of $200,000,000. Such notice shall specify (i) the date (the “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Term Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not later than the Incremental Termination Date and (ii) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Term Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Term Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Term Commitment. The Incremental Term Commitment shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Conditions. The Incremental Term Commitments shall become effective as of the Increase Effective Date; provided that:

(i) each of the following conditions shall be satisfied:

(A) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective Date;

(B) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date;

(C) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered officer’s certificates and legal opinions of the type delivered on the Closing Date to the extent reasonably requested by, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent;

(D) the Administrative Agent shall have received a Loan Notice in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02(a);

(E) no warrants or other equity shall be issued in connection with the Term Loans made pursuant to Incremental Term Commitments other than warrants at an exercise price of $.01 per share to purchase shares of common stock of the Borrower as long as such warrants are for 39,526 or fewer shares of common stock of the Borrower per $1,000,000 of such Term Loans made pursuant to such Incremental Term Commitments, and

(F) the proceeds of the Term Loans made under any Incremental Term Commitment shall not be used to refinance, repay, prepay, redeem, defease, purchase or otherwise satisfy (including through an exchange, cancellation, satisfaction or discharge of) any Convertible Senior Notes.

(c) Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of Term Loans made pursuant to Incremental Term Commitment shall be identical to the existing Term Loans, except that the Applicable Rate for Term Loans made under the Incremental Term Commitments shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders of such Term Loans;

provided that in the event that the Applicable Rate for any Term Loan made under the Incremental Term Commitments is greater than the Applicable Rate for the Tranche A-1 Term Loans made on the Closing Date, then the Applicable Rate for the Tranche A-1 Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be increased to the extent necessary to equal the Applicable Rate for the Term Loans made under the Incremental Term Commitments (and the Applicable Rate for the Tranche A-2 Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be increased by the same amount as any such increase to the Tranche A-1 Term Loans); provided, further, that in determining the Applicable Rate applicable to the Tranche A-1 Term Loans made on the Closing Date and the Term Loans made under the Incremental Term Commitment, (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower, in each case to the Lenders of the Tranche A-1 Term Loans made on the Closing Date or the Lenders of the Term Loans made under the Incremental Term Commitments shall be included as OID (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed two and one-half year life to maturity) (provided that any warrants or other equity issued to the Lenders of the Tranche A-1 Term Loans in connection with the Tranche A-1 Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be excluded from any determination or calculation under or pursuant to this clause (x)), (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the Arrangers (or their respective affiliates) in connection with the Term Loans made on the Closing Date or to one or more arrangers (or their respective affiliates) of the Term Loans made under the Incremental Term Commitments shall be excluded; and (z) if the Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate “floor” for the Term Loans made under the Incremental Term Commitments is greater than the Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate “floor,” respectively, for the Term Loans made on the Closing Date, the difference between such floor for the Term Loans made under the Incremental Term Commitments and the Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be equated to an increase in the Applicable Rate for purposes of this clause (c).

The Incremental Term Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Term Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.01, the Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Term Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Term Loans that are made under the Incremental Term Commitments pursuant to this Agreement. This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.

(d) Making of New Term Loans. On any Increase Effective Date on which new Commitments for Term Loans are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender of such new Commitment shall make a Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its new Commitment.

(e) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by

the Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such class of Term Loans or any such new Commitments.

2.15 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) [Reserved].

(d) [Reserved].

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Term Loan Exposure. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(g) In the event and on the date that each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agrees in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Term Loan Exposure, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(h) No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of any Lender that is not a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Loan Party or Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Loan Party or Administrative Agent, as may be relevant, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(iii) If a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount so withheld or deducted by it to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) withheld or deducted by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender, to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to

the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) and Section 3.01(e) below shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(e), the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A) or 3.01(e)(ii)(B)(I)-(IV) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (or, in the case of a Change in Law, any incremental material unreimbursed cost or expense) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower on behalf of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration of previously delivered forms or the request of the Borrower on behalf of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(III) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

(IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or

(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary

for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(e)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iv) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

(v) The Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by the Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or the Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses and net of any loss or gain realized in the conversion of such funds from or to another currency incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable

Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Loans that are Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or convert all such Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate Loan for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate Loan for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii) subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, or such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Liquidity and Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Additional Reserve Requirements. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by

such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided that the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional costs from such Lender.

3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, any payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02 then such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

In addition to the foregoing, and notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if within one hundred eighty (180) days after completion of a Solar Energy System any Subsidiary that is (x) a Domestic Subsidiary and (y) a Material Subsidiary has not entered into (and is not otherwise restricted by) a Non-Recourse Project Indebtedness transaction, sale-leaseback or loan transaction, purchase and sale agreement or other binding financing or purchase commitment with respect to such Solar Energy System, the Borrower shall promptly inform the Administrative Agent of such fact and such Subsidiary shall at such time constitute a New Subsidiary and shall comply with the requirements of this Section for New Subsidiaries within

the times provided above, with the time for such compliance beginning on the 180^th day after completion of such Solar Energy System. If any such Subsidiary has become a Guarantor in accordance with this Section and later enters into, or informs the Administrative Agent that it intends to enter into, Non-Recourse Project Indebtedness, a sale-leaseback or loan transaction, purchase and sale agreement or other binding financing or purchase commitment with respect to such Solar Energy System, then the Administrative Agent shall release such Subsidiary from its Guaranty and the Collateral Trustee shall release such Subsidiary from its Security Documents, and the Collateral Trustee shall release the pledge of its Equity Interest by its parent, in each case to the extent the pledge of its Equity Interests or its continuing to be a Guarantor or its grant of a Lien pursuant to the Security Documents would not be permitted by the terms of such Non-Recourse Project Indebtedness, and the Administrative Agent and Collateral Trustee are expressly authorized by the Lenders to take such actions as are necessary to effectuate each such release. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Foreign Subsidiary that is a Controlled Foreign Corporation shall become a Guarantor or a Grantor (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement).

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.13 to the contrary, any Subsidiary (including any Excluded Subsidiary) that Guarantees any Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 7.03(g)(i) and (iii), (h), (l) or (u) shall also Guarantee the Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.13 to the contrary, any obligation to deliver certificates evidencing Equity Interests to be pledged, or to deliver stock powers or other documents or to take any other action to establish possession or control over the Collateral by the Collateral Trustee shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that such certificates, documents, or Collateral has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.13 of the First Lien Credit Agreement to the First Lien Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Lenders in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) With respect to any fee interest in any real property having a value (together with improvements thereof) of at least $5,000,000 acquired after the Closing Date by any Loan Party (or owned by any Person at the time it becomes a Loan Party), (a) if such Loan Party acquired such real property with the intention to construct a Solar Energy System thereon, but has not yet commenced such construction within six months of such acquisition (unless a longer period is agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), on such six month anniversary of such acquisition or (b) if such Loan Party did not acquire such real property with the intention to construct a Solar Energy System thereon or if such real property is owned by any Person at the time it becomes a Loan Party, within sixty (60) days after the date of acquisition of such real property or the date such Person becomes a Loan Party, unless, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), a longer period is granted by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, (i) execute and deliver a Second Priority Mortgage, in favor of the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, covering such real property, (ii) with respect to such real property, deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Trustee all information, documentation and certifications described in Schedule 6.14(b) hereto, and (iii) deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Trustee a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Borrower, affirming the representations contained in Section 5.08 with respect to such real property, except that all references to the “Closing Date” contained in Section 5.08 shall instead be construed to refer to the date of delivery of such certificate.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower and each Loan Party shall be required to make a Second Priority pledge of its Equity Interests in (A) a Non-Recourse Subsidiary unless (and so long as) such pledge of such Equity Interests is prohibited by the terms of any Non-Recourse Project Indebtedness of such Non-Recourse Subsidiary, (B) YieldCo and YieldCo Intermediate (provided; that (1) with respect to the Equity Interests in YieldCo and YieldCo Intermediate that are released from Liens securing obligations under the Existing Margin Loan Agreement on the Closing Date, all actions required by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Trustee to perfect the Lien of the Collateral Trustee on such Equity Interests shall be taken within the earlier of (x) 30 calendar days (as such period may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) after the Closing Date and (y) the date on which such Lien is perfected by delivery of the certificates evidencing such Equity Interests to the First Lien Agent, and (2) with respect to the Equity Interests in YieldCo and YieldCo Intermediate that constitutes collateral securing the Permitted Seller Notes, such Equity Interests shall be pledged by each applicable Loan Party, and all actions required by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Trustee to perfect the Lien of the Collateral Trustee on such Equity Interests shall be taken, by the earlier of (x) 30 calendar days (as such period may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) after the release of the applicable Equity Interests from the Liens granted under the Permitted Seller Notes and (y) the date on which such Lien is perfected by delivery of the certificates evidencing such Equity Interests to the First Lien Agent), (C) each of the Loan Party Service Providers, (D) YieldCo II and YieldCo II Intermediate, (E) the Intermediate Holdings, (F) any Warehouse Entity (if any equity interest therein is directly held or owned by Borrower or any Guarantor), (G) First Wind Holdings, and (H) Apollo Holdings and all Equity Interests held by Apollo Holdings. If the Equity Interests in any Non-Recourse Subsidiary have been pledged in accordance with this Section (in each case excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Equity Interests in any Loan Party or any Unrestricted Subsidiary, including YieldCo, YieldCo II, YieldCo Intermediate and YieldCo II Intermediate, to which this sentence shall not apply) and such Non-Recourse Subsidiary later enters into, or

informs the Administrative Agent that it intends to enter into, Non-Recourse Project Indebtedness, then the Collateral Trustee shall release its Lien on the Equity Interests in such Non-Recourse Subsidiary to the extent the pledge of such Equity Interests would not be permitted by the terms of such Non-Recourse Project Indebtedness, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Trustee are expressly authorized by the Lenders to take such actions as are necessary to effectuate each such release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective to release Liens on the Equity Interests in YieldCo, YieldCo II, YieldCo Intermediate or YieldCo II Intermediate that constitute Collateral in order for such Equity Interests to be provided as collateral securing any Indebtedness (other than Obligations and the First Lien Loan Obligations).

(d) Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent that Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as transfer agent and registrar (together with any other Person acting as the transfer agent and registrar for any Specified Stock Certificate (as hereinafter defined), the “Transfer Agent”), which issues the certificates described in Section 6.14(d) of the First Lien Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Specified Stock Certificates” and each a “Specified Stock Certificate”), will require, in the event a Specified Stock Certificate is lost or destroyed, a posting of a bond in an amount of up to 3% (or such higher amount as may be required by the applicable Transfer Agent from time to time) of the value of the lost or destroyed Specified Stock Certificate for the Transfer Agent to issue a replacement stock certificate. To facilitate the pledging of the Specified Stock Certificates by a delivery thereof to the Collateral Trustee (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, by delivery thereof to the First Lien Agent), the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree with Borrower that, in the event a Specified Stock Certificate, after being delivered to the Collateral Trustee (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, after being delivered to the First Lien Agent), is lost or destroyed prior to being returned to and received by the Borrower (or the relevant Loan Party), the Administrative Agent will deliver (and the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to deliver) such bond to the Transfer Agent following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the payment by each Lender of its pro rata share of the cost of such bond (and each Lender agrees to make such payment within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a written request therefor from the Administrative Agent); provided, that if such loss or destruction is a result of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse each Lender for the amount so paid by such Lender in respect of such bond.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.14 to the contrary, any obligation to deliver certificates evidencing Equity Interests to be pledged or to deliver stock powers or other documents or to take any other action to establish possession or control over the Collateral by the Collateral Trustee shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that such certificates, documents, or Collateral has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.14 of the First Lien Credit Agreement to the First Lien Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Lenders in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.14 to the contrary and subject to Section 6.17, except for the Fronting Fee Compensation Account and the funds on deposit

therein, which shall not constitute collateral securing the First Lien Loan Obligations, the collateral securing the First Lien Loan Obligations, on the one hand, and the Collateral securing Second Lien Obligations, on the other hand, shall be identical and no Loan Party shall grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any First Lien Loan Obligation unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the Second Lien Obligations.

6.15 Material Contracts. Perform and observe all the terms and provisions of each contract containing material Contractual Obligations, each Borrower/SSL TopCo Agreement, each Borrower/YieldCo Agreement and each Borrower/YieldCo II Agreement (each a “Material Contract”) to be performed or observed by it, maintain each such Material Contract in full force and effect, and enforce each such Material Contract in accordance with its terms, except, in any case, where the failure to do so, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.16 Further Assurances. Promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the Administrative Agent, (a) correct any material defect or error that may be discovered in any Loan Document or in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or recordation thereof, and (b) do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and all such further acts, deeds, certificates, assurances and other instruments as the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably require from time to time in order to (i) carry out more effectively the purposes of the Loan Documents, (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, subject any Loan Party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties, assets, rights or interests to the Liens now or hereafter intended to be covered by any of the Security Documents, (iii) perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Security Documents and any of the Liens intended to be created thereunder and (iv) assure, convey, grant, assign, transfer, preserve, protect and confirm more effectively unto the Secured Parties the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be granted to the Secured Parties under any Loan Document or under any other instrument executed in connection with any Loan Document to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is or is to be a party, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Security Documents, neither any Loan Party nor any Subsidiary shall have any obligation to perfect Liens in any Foreign IP Rights to the extent the cost of obtaining such perfection exceeds the practical benefit to the Lenders afforded thereby (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent).

6.17 Post-Closing Matters. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, comply with the requirements set forth on Schedule 6.17 within the time periods set forth therein (as any such period may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

6.18 Lenders Meetings. The Borrower will, upon the request of Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, participate in a meeting of the Administrative Agent and Lenders once during each fiscal year to be held at the Borrower’s corporate offices (or at such other location as may be agreed to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) at such time as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent.

6.19 Issuance of Warrants. Borrower shall issue Warrants to each Initial Lender (other than the Fronting Arrangers) and each Schedule 2.09 Lender on the Closing Date (each a “Warrant Holder”), for the account of such Warrant Holder or its designee, to purchase the number of shares of the common stock of the Borrower set forth opposite the name of such Person on Schedule 6.19, which number shall correspond to 39,526 shares of common stock of the Borrower per $1,000,000 of Term Loans provided by such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no such issuance shall be required or shall be effective unless and until the Person to whom the Warrant is to be issued pursuant to this Section 6.19 countersigns the applicable Warrant (thereby making the representations set forth in the form of Warrant attached as Exhibit B hereto). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Term Loans to be held by the Warrant Holders, together with the Warrants, shall be treated as an investment unit, and the “issue price” of the Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) based on the relative fair market values of the Term Loans and the Warrants on the “issue date”. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the issue date shall be the first date on which a substantial amount of the Term Loans are in good faith believed by the Borrower to be sold to persons other than bond houses, brokers or similar organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers. The Borrower will provide any information reasonably requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent or any Lender regarding the original issue discount associated with any Term Loans for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

6.20 Management Services and Operation and Maintenance Service Providers. In the event that the Borrower or any Subsidiary provides management services or operations and maintenance services for one or more solar projects in the continental United States, direct the applicable counterparty under such management services agreement or operations and maintenance agreement to pay all amounts owed to such service provider into an account of a Loan Party Service Provider that has been pledged to the Administrative Agent as security for the Obligations and is subject to a control agreement pursuant to the Security Documents; provided, that Borrower shall be afforded forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date to cause compliance with the foregoing with respect to any management services or operations and maintenance services being provided prior to the Closing Date.

The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and other applicable Agents and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

124

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and its duties herewith shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions in writing in respect thereof from the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.01) and, upon receipt of such instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any obligation or duty to disclose, disclose further or update, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, disclose further or update, any information, or information it may have provided to the Lenders, relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administration Agent is relying on the foregoing.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to

125

the Administrative Agent. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmation of the Outstanding Amount of the Loans or the component amounts thereof.

9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.

from, any and all losses (other than anticipated profits), claims, damages, penalties (including any OFAC related penalties), liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of any Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, any commitment or engagement letter (and any related fee letter) delivered by any Agent or any Lender to the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty), (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such other Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the applicable Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the applicable Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential

137

or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

(g) Disqualified Lenders. Each Loan Party also agrees that neither any Agent nor any Arranger shall have any liability to any Loan Party or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any Loan Party or any other person for failure to monitor compliance with any provisions of this Agreement with respect to Disqualified Lenders.

10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or applicable other Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent or applicable other Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and thereby, except that neither the

138

Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the other Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a Warrant Holder (or any other assignee during the primary syndication of the Term Loans) or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.

139

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within seven (7) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender that has the same or better rating than such Lender; and

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Reasonably promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall provide to the Borrower a copy of each Assignment and Assumption that is not required to be executed by the Borrower.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

140

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and shall be binding on the Borrower and the Lenders. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (with respect to (i) any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans, and (ii) the identity of the other Lenders (but not any information with respect to such other Lenders’ Loans)), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of what-so-ever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 10.06(c).

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or a Disqualified Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower for tax purposes, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loan

141

or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participaion sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) [Reserved].

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.07) (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any other Loan Party and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to any Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, (i) to any rating

142

agency when required by it; provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to Loan Parties received by it from any Agent or any Lender, or (j) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Agents and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).

143

If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), (ii) any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to a

144

proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 10.01 but requires the consent of such Lender, or (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including (i) any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (ii) any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(e) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s failure to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document, the proposed replacement Lender consents to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release; provided that the failure by such Non-Consenting Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 10.13 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and Assumption.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (b) OF THIS SECTION.

146

THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents and Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Agents and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Agent has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agents and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Agent has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.

10.17 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

and other information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. Each Loan Party shall, promptly following a request by any Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that such Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

10.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

10.20 Segregation of Assets and Liabilities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that: (i) this Agreement is intended to create an agreement between (a) a Cayman Islands SPC (the “SPC”) in respect of and for the account of a particular segregated portfolio of the SPC to which this Agreement relates and (b) the other parties to this Agreement, and accordingly that the rights and obligations of the SPC in respect of and for the account of the particular segregated portfolio under this Agreement are several and not joint as to any other segregated portfolio of the SPC, (ii) any liabilities of the SPC incurred under this Agreement in respect of and for the account of the particular segregated portfolio to which this Agreement relates shall only be satisfied out of, and all other parties hereto shall only be entitled to recourse to, the assets of the SPC attributable to such segregated portfolio and such other parties shall not be entitled to payment out of or to have recourse to the assets attributable to any other segregated portfolio of the SPC or to the general assets of the SPC, (iii) such other parties and the SPC may only set off or net any liability owed to, or by, the other parties by, or to, the SPC in respect of and for the account of the particular segregated portfolio to which this Agreement relates and not any other segregated portfolio of the SPC or against the general assets of the SPC, and (iv) without prejudice to the right to apply for a receivership order under the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (as may be amended from time to time) in respect of the particular segregated portfolio to which this

Agreement relates, the other parties hereto will not take steps to petition to wind up the SPC. The term “general assets” shall mean the general assets of the SPC that are not allocated to or for the account of one or more segregated portfolios of the SPC.
