Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Term A Loans to refinance Indebtedness under the Original Loan Agreement and, after application of such proceeds to refinance such Indebtedness, any such remaining proceeds may be used for working capital and other general corporate purpose. The Term A Loan Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Closing Date upon the funding of the Term A Loans. After repayment, no Term A Loan may be reborrowed.

(B)    Term B Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make one or more term loans to Borrowers during the Term B Loan Availability Period in an aggregate original principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term B Loan Commitment (each such term loan, a “Term B Loan”; each Term A Loan and each Term B Loan is hereinafter referred to singly as a “Term Loan” and the Term A Loans and the Term B Loans are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Term Loans”). Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Term B Loans to finance the purchase price (including soft costs) of Eligible Equipment. Each borrowing of Term B Loans shall be in an aggregate original principal amount not less than $2,500,000 and equal to or less than the sum of the invoice value of the applicable Eligible Equipment plus up to 50% of the documented soft costs (including sales tax, freight, and installation expenses) associated with the applicable Eligible Equipment, which any Borrower shall have purchased within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of the corresponding request for borrowing of Term B Loans (or, in the case of the initial borrowing of Term B Loans, which any Borrower shall have purchased on or after March 1, 2021) and as determined by Agent in the exercise of its reasonable credit discretion. All unused Term B Loan Commitments shall automatically and permanently

terminate as of the end of the Term B Loan Availability Period. After repayment, no Term B Loan may be reborrowed.

(ii)    Repayment.

(A)    Interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Term Loan shall accrue from the date of each Term Loan at the rate specified in Section 2.3 and shall be payable (I) monthly on the tenth (10th) day of each month, beginning with the first such monthly date to occur after the Closing Date, so long as any amounts are outstanding under the Term Loans, and (II) on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(B)    The principal amount of the Term A Loans shall be payable in (I) equal monthly installments of principal, beginning on the Term A Loan Initial Principal Payment Date and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through the Term Loan Maturity Date, with each installment of principal to be equal to the quotient derived by dividing (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term A Loans outstanding as of the Term A Loan Initial Principal Payment Date by (ii) ninety-six (96); plus (II) one (1) payment due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date equal to the entire remaining outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts owing under this Agreement. The Term A Loans, once repaid, may not be reborrowed.

(C)    The principal amount of the Term B Loans shall be payable in (I) equal monthly installments of principal, beginning on the Term B Loan Initial Principal Payment Date and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through the Term Loan Maturity Date, with each installment of principal to be equal to the quotient derived by dividing (i)(1) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Term B Loans outstanding as of the Term B Loan Initial Principal Payment Date plus (2) the aggregate original principal amount of all Term B Loans made after the Term B Loan Initial Principal Payment Date and before the applicable monthly payment date by (ii) sixty (60); plus (II) one (1) payment due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date equal to the entire remaining outstanding principal amount of the Term B Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts owing under this Agreement. The Term B Loans, once repaid, may not be reborrowed.

(D)    Borrowers may prepay the Term Loans without penalty or premium.

(c)    Letters of Credit. Subject to, as applicable, the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, limitation, Section 6.13), the applicable Letter of Credit Documents, and any other customary documentation required by Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, and provided there does not then exist an Event of Default, Issuing Bank shall issue, for the account of Borrowers, Letters of Credit of such stated amounts as Borrowers may from time to time request during the term of this Agreement. Borrowers shall promptly and duly execute and deliver any customary documentation reasonably required by Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of any such Letter of Credit. As of the Closing Date, the letters of credit described on Schedule 2.1(c) shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit giving rise to Letter of Credit Obligations. Subject to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit Documents, Borrowers shall unconditionally and irrevocably, without duplication or derogation of the terms and conditions of any applicable Letter of Credit Document and without duplication of amounts otherwise provided for in this Agreement, reimburse Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for any payments made by Issuing Bank to any Person for a drawing under any Letter of Credit and for any other customary charges and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by Issuing Bank in connection with the application for, issuance of, administration of, or amendment to any Letter of Credit. The obligations of Borrowers with respect to any Letter of Credit issued as described in this Section 2.1(c) shall be payable and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Credit and the applicable Letter of Credit Documents under all

circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document.

2.2    Requests for Credit Extensions; Funding of Credit Extensions.

(a)    Notice by Borrowers. Each Credit Extension shall be made upon Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to Agent. Each such notice shall be in the form of a written Borrowing Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrowers, or may be given by telephone to Agent (if promptly confirmed by such a written Borrowing Request consistent with such telephonic notice) and must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. Pacific time three Business Days prior to the date of the requested Credit Extension.

(b)    Content of Borrowing Requests. Each Borrowing Request shall specify the following information, as applicable: (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Credit Extension; (ii) the date of such Credit Extension (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed; and (iv) in the case of a Term B Loan, a description of the applicable Eligible Equipment and the applicable invoice amount or associated soft costs, together with such supporting information or documentation as Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith.

(c)    Notice by Agent to Lenders. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request, Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and such Lender’s portion of each resulting Credit Extension.

(d)    Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make the amount of each Credit Extension to be made by it hereunder available to Agent in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon Pacific time on the proposed date thereof. Agent will make all such funds so received available to Borrowers in like funds, by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with the instructions provided in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(e)    Presumption by Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Credit Extension that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s share of such Credit Extension, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.2(d) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Credit Extension available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Term Loans. If Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Agent shall promptly remit to Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Credit Extension to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s portion of such Credit Extension. Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent.

2.3    Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

(a)    Interest Rates on the Term Loans. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Term Loans shall bear interest, on the outstanding principal balance thereof, at a per annum rate equal to 1.25% above the Prime Rate.

(b)    Late Fee; Default Rate. At the election of Agent, if any payment is not made within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due, Borrowers shall pay Agent a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law, not in any case to be less than Twenty-Five Dollars ($25).

All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.

(c)    Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the tenth (10th) calendar day of each month during the term hereof. Agent shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Agent Expenses, and all Lender Expenses against any of a Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Term Loans, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.

(d)    Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.4    Collections; Remittances; Account Collection Services.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent shall have the exclusive right to receive all Collections of each Domestic Borrower. Each Domestic Borrower shall promptly notify, transfer and deliver to Agent all Collections any Domestic Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries receives for deposit into the Collection Account. At Agent’s request, each Domestic Borrower shall instruct all account debtors to make payments directly to the Collection Account, or shall instruct them to deliver such payments to Agent by wire transfer, ACH, or other means as Agent may direct for deposit to the Collection Account. Domestic Borrowers shall forward all collections to Agent which have not been directed to the Collections Account by account debtors. The costs associated with establishing and maintaining the Collection Account shall be the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense.

(b)    Agent shall transfer all Collections deposited into the Collection Account to Borrower’s general operating account maintained with Agent within one (1) Business Day of the date received; provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent shall apply all Collections deposited into the Collection Account to the Obligations in accordance with Section 13.6. Agent has no duty to do any act other than to apply such amounts as required above. If an item of Collections is not honored or Agent does not receive good funds for any reason, any amount previously transferred to Borrowers’ general operating account with Agent shall be reversed as of the date transferred. Agent shall have, with respect to any goods related to the Accounts, all the rights and remedies of an unpaid seller under the Code and other applicable law, including the rights of replevin, claim and delivery, reclamation and stoppage in transit.

2.5    Crediting Payments.

(a)    Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Parent specifies. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the receipt by Agent of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall, at Agent’s discretion, be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Agent after 12:00 noon Pacific time shall, at the option of Agent, be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Agent under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

(b)    Borrowers hereby authorize Agent to automatically deduct from any deposit account(s) of Borrowers with WAB, including without limitation the deposit account ending in 9648, the amount of any loan payment. If the funds in the account(s) are insufficient to cover any payment, Agent shall not be obligated to advance funds to cover the payment and Borrowers agree to pay any applicable fees for this service disclosed in the Schedule of Fees and Charges applicable to Borrowers’ account(s).

2.6    Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent the following:

(a)    Agent Fee Letter. To Agent, for the account of Agent or for the account of the applicable Lender(s), as applicable, all fees under the Fee Letter as and when due and payable.

(b)    Lender Fee Letters. To Agent, for the account of the applicable Lender, all fees under each Lender Fee Letter (if any) as and when due and payable.

2.7    Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 13.8, shall continue in full force and effect until Payment In Full. Notwithstanding termination, Agent’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect until Payment In Full.

2.8    [Reserved].

2.9    Payments Generally; Several Obligations of Lenders.

(a)    Presumptions by Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice from Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to Agent for the account of Lenders hereunder that Borrowers will not make such payment, Agent may assume that Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of Lenders severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, 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 Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(b)    Deductions by Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.11, or 14.5, then Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to Agent until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and for application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by Agent in its discretion.

(c)    Several Obligations of Lenders. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Credit Extensions and to make payments pursuant to Section 14.5 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Credit Extension or to make any such payment 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 Credit Extensions or to make its payment under Section 14.5.

2.10    Setoff.

(a)    Each Borrower agrees that Agent and each Lender has all rights of setoff and banker’s liens provided by applicable law; provided, that no Lender shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Agent (or written direction of Required Lenders). Each Borrower agrees that, if at any time (i) any amount owing by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is then due and owing to Agent or Lenders (after the expiration of any applicable grace period, if any), or (ii) any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Agent or Lenders or the holder of any promissory note issued hereunder, in its reasonable discretion, may set off against and apply to the payment of any and all Obligations, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such

Borrower then or thereafter with Agent or such Lender or such holder (other than deposits held in accounts used solely for pension accounts, 401(k) accounts, and employee benefits).

(b)    Without limitation of Section 2.10(a), each Borrower agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized, at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to such Borrower, (i) to set off against and to appropriate and apply to the payment of any and all Obligations any and all amounts which Agent or such Lender is obligated to pay over to such Borrower (whether matured or unmatured, and, in the case of deposits, whether general or special, time or demand, and however evidenced), and (ii) pending any such action, to the extent necessary, to deposit such amounts with Agent as Collateral to secure such Obligations and to dishonor any and all checks and other items drawn against any deposits so held as Agent in its reasonable discretion may elect.

(c)    The rights of Agent and Lenders under this Section 2.10 are in addition to all other rights and remedies which Agent and Lenders may otherwise have in equity or at law.

(d)    Each Lender agrees to notify 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. Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s pro rata share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender entitled to share in the amount so set off in accordance with their respective pro rata shares. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that any Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its pro rata share of the Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such amount so set off to Agent for the benefit of all Lenders entitled to share in the amount so set off in accordance with their pro rata shares. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 2.10 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have.

2.11    Sharing of Payments. 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 its Credit Extensions or other Obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Credit Extensions and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the applicable Credit Extensions and such other obligations 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 Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Credit Extensions and other Obligations owing them; provided that:

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

(ii)    the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its applicable Credit Extensions to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Each 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 any Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of any Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.12    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 any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)    impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Credit Extensions bearing interest based on the Prime Rate made by such Lender;

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

(b)    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 capital or liquidity 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 Credit Extensions 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 Borrowers 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 Section 2.12(a) or Section 2.12(b) and delivered to Borrowers, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers 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 six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

2.13    Taxes.

(a)    Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.13, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)    Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)    Indemnification by Borrowers. Borrowers shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.13) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)    Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrowers have not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.1(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this Section 2.13(e).

(f)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrowers to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section 2.13, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(g)    Status of Lenders.

(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, shall deliver such other

documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as will enable Borrowers or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (A), (B), and (D) of Section 2.13(g)(ii)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any 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,

(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)    executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to such Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E; or

(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)    any Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the

recipient) on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrowers or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)    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 IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrowers and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.13(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.13(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

2.14    Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrowers) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Credit Extensions hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to

another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers hereby agree 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 2.12, or if Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.14(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and 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 13.1), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to a Qualified Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that:

(i)    Borrowers shall have paid to Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.1;

(ii)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Credit Extensions, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v)    in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

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 Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.14 to the contrary, the Lender that acts as Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 14.7.

2.15    [Reserved].

2.16    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(a)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(b)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory,

at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise) or received by Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent as follows:

(i)    first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Agent hereunder;

(ii)    [reserved];

(iii)    [reserved];

(iv)    second, as Borrowers may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Credit Extension in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Agent;

(v)    third, if so determined by Agent and Borrowers, 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 Credit Extensions under this Agreement;

(vi)    fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to 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;

(vii)    fifth, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(viii)    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 Credit Extensions in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Credit Extensions were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Credit Extensions of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Credit Extensions of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all applicable Credit Extensions are held by Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Credit Extension. 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.

(c)    [Reserved].

(d)    [Reserved].

(e)    [Reserved].

(f)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrowers and Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Credit Extensions of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the applicable Credit Extensions to be held pro rata by Lenders in accordance with their Commitments, 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 Borrowers 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.

(g)    [Reserved].

3.1    Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension. The obligation of Agent and Lenders to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition precedent that Agent shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, the following:

(a)    this Agreement;

(b)    a certificate of the Secretary of each Borrower with respect to incumbency and resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of this Agreement;

(c)    UCC National Form Financing Statements, naming each Borrower;

(d)    the IP Security Agreement;

(e)    evidence of insurance required pursuant to Section 6.6;

(f)    payment of the fees, Agent Expenses, and Lender Expenses then due specified in Section 2.6 hereof;

(g)    current financial statements of Borrowers, on a consolidated basis; and

(h)    such other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.

3.2    Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions. The obligation of Agent and Lenders to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is further subject to the following conditions:

(a)    timely receipt by Agent of a Borrowing Request; and

(b)    the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Borrowing Request and on the effective date of each Credit Extension as though made at and as of each such date, and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or would exist after giving effect to such Credit Extension. The making of each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by each Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2.

4.1    Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower grants and pledges to Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders, Issuing Bank, and each applicable Bank Product Provider, a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all Secured Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrowers of each of their covenants and duties under the Loan Documents or otherwise in respect of the Secured Obligations. Such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof, subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted by the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Agent’s Lien. The continuing security interest described in this Section 4.1 is a continuation of the continuing security interest granted and pledged to WAB under the Original Loan Agreement.

4.2    Perfection of Security Interest; Delivery of Additional Documentation Required.

(a)    Each Borrower authorizes Agent to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either specifically describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of such Borrower of the kind pledged hereunder, and (ii) contain any other information required by the Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether such Borrower is an organization, the type of organization, and any organizational identification number issued to such Borrower, if applicable. Each Borrower shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where Agent chooses to perfect its and each Lender’s security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement (including this Section 4.2), each Borrower shall take such steps as Agent reasonably requests for Agent to (A) where Collateral with a fair market value in excess of $250,000 is in possession of a third-party bailee, obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Agent, and (B) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights (solely to the extent such letter-of-credit rights cannot be perfected by filing a financing statement) or electronic chattel paper having a fair market value, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000 (as such items and the term “control” are defined in the Code) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. Each Borrower will not create any chattel paper included in the Collateral having a fair market value, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000 without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Agent indicating that Agent for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders has a security interest in the chattel paper.

(b)    Each Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver to Agent, at the request of Agent, all Negotiable Collateral having a fair market value, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000 that does not constitute Excluded Property, all financing statements and other documents that Agent may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Agent, to perfect and continue the perfection of Agent’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents (i) this Section 4.2 shall not apply with respect to any Subsidiary that is an Excluded Subsidiary, so long as such Subsidiary is (and does not cease to be) an Excluded Subsidiary, or to any Equity Interests in any such Excluded Subsidiary; (ii) this Section 4.2 shall not require that any Borrower take any action in or required by the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction to create or perfect any security interests under any such laws in (A) immaterial (as determined by Agent in its reasonable discretion and in consultation with Borrowers) assets of any Borrower located or titled in such jurisdiction or (B) any Borrower’s ownership interests in any Foreign Subsidiary that is not then a Material Subsidiary (it being understood and agreed that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction); and (iii) the preceding clause (ii) of this proviso shall not limit the requirements of this Section 4.2 in respect of any action in or required by the laws of any U.S. jurisdiction to create or perfect any security interests under any such laws to the extent governed by any such laws. Each Borrower from time to time may deposit with Agent specific time deposit accounts to secure specific Secured Obligations. Each Borrower authorizes Agent to hold such balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by any Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the Secured Obligations are outstanding.

4.3    Right to Inspect. Agent (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during each Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than once a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect each Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to inspect the Collateral in order to verify each Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter reasonably relating to, the Collateral.

4.4    Acknowledgments Regarding Cash Collateral. Without duplication or derogation of any applicable Letter of Credit Documents or any applicable Bank Product Agreements, as applicable, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge that Agent will, as applicable, hold or maintain any cash collateral required to be maintained pursuant to Section 6.13 or as otherwise expressly provided for in the

applicable Letter of Credit Documents or the applicable Bank Product Agreements, as applicable, together with any securities account or any deposit account of a Borrower, in each case, pledged to exclusively secure the Letter of Credit Obligations or the Card Service Obligations, as applicable, and any money or other property on deposit in any such account, (i) as Collateral for the applicable Secured Obligations under this Agreement as Agent, for the benefit of WAB, in its capacity as Issuing Bank, or WAB, in its capacity as a Bank Product Provider, as applicable, (ii) as collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations under the applicable Letter of Credit Documents, as agent for the benefit of WAB, in its capacity as Issuing Bank, and (iii) as collateral for the Card Service Obligations under the applicable Bank Product Agreements, as agent for the benefit of WAB, in its capacity as a Bank Product Provider.

Each Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

Borrower and each Subsidiary is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity (i) duly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation or organization and qualified and (ii) licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except in each case under this clause (ii) (other than with respect to Borrowers) where a failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2    Due Authorization; No Conflict; Execution and Delivery; Binding Effect.

(a)    The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in Borrower’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, or Limited Liability Company Agreement, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any material agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound.

(b)    This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document, when delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered by Borrower. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

Each of the Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no written claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral violates the rights of any third party. Except as set forth in the Schedule, Borrower’s rights as a licensee of intellectual property do not give rise to more than five percent (5%) of its gross revenue in any given month, including without limitation revenue

derived from the sale, licensing, rendering or disposition of any product or service. Except as set forth in the Schedule, Borrower is not a party to, or bound by, any agreement for the licensing of Intellectual Property Collateral by Borrower that restricts the grant by Borrower of a security interest in Borrower’s rights under such agreement.

The appointment of Agent as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Agent’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until (i) such Event of Default is waived by Agent or (ii) Payment In Full.

9.3    Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may notify any Person owing funds to a Borrower of Agent’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Each Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to such Borrower for Agent, receive in trust all payments as Agent’s trustee, and promptly (within one (1) Business Day) deliver such payments to Agent in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

9.4    Agent Expenses. If a Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Agent may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Parent: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under a loan facility in Section 2.1 as Agent deems necessary to protect Agent or any Lender from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6, and take any action with respect to such policies as Agent deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Agent shall constitute Agent Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Agent shall not constitute an agreement by Agent to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Agent or any Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

9.5    Agent’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Agent complies with reasonable banking practices, Agent shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee,

forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers.

9.6    Remedies Cumulative. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Agent and each Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Agent or any Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Agent or any Lender of any Event of Default on a Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Agent or any Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. This Section 9.6 is subject to Section 14.10.

9.7    Demand; Protest. Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Agent or any Lender on which any Borrower may in any way be liable.

All notices, consents, requests, approvals, demands, or other communication by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, or delivered: (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, registered or certified mail return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid; (b) upon transmission, when sent by electronic mail or facsimile transmission; (c) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid; or (d) when delivered, if hand-delivered by messenger, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address, facsimile number, or email address indicated below. Agent, any Lender, or any Borrower may change its mailing or electronic mail address or facsimile number by giving the other party written notice thereof in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.

The parties hereto may change the address at which they are to receive notices hereunder, by notice in writing in the foregoing manner given to the other.

This Agreement and all other Loan Documents (except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of Borrowers, Lenders, and Agent hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in the County of Santa Clara, State of California. BORROWERS, AGENT, AND EACH LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS,

TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR IT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

12.1    In the event the jury trial waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this judicial reference provision.

12.2    With the exception of the items specified in Section 12.3, below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the state or federal court in the county or district where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in the state or federal court in the county or district where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).

12.3    The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This reference provision does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this reference provision as provided herein.

12.4    The referee shall be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP § 170.6, each party shall have one peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative).

12.5    The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.

12.6    The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.

12.7    Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of

evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

12.8    The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.

12.9    If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.

12.10    THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

13.1    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a)    This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by any Borrower without Required Lenders’ prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Required Lenders’ sole discretion, 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 Section 13.1(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 13.1(c). 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 Section 13.1(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)    Subject to the terms of this Section 13.1, any Lender may make an assignment to a Qualified Assignee of, or sale of participations in, at any time or times, the Loan Documents, Credit Extensions, and any Commitment or any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender’s rights,

title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder. Any assignment by a Lender shall (i) require the consent of Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to a Qualified Assignee and which consent is not required by an assignment between Lenders or from a Lender to an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender) and the execution of an assignment and assumption agreement (an “Assignment Agreement” in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and acknowledged by, Agent); (ii) be conditioned on such assignee Lender representing to the assigning Lender and Agent and Borrowers that it is purchasing the applicable Credit Extensions to be assigned to it for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof; (iii) except with respect to any assignment to an Affiliate or Related Fund, require a payment to Agent by such Assignee of an assignment fee of $3,500 (unless waived by Agent in its sole discretion); and (iv) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, require the consent of Borrower Representative (which consent is not required for an assignment between Lenders or from a Lender to an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender), which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to have been automatically given five (5) Business Days following notice thereof if Borrower Representative does not respond prior to such date.

(c)    In the case of an assignment by a Lender that has become effective under this Section 13.1, (i) the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all other Lenders hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments and the Credit Extensions and other interests assigned by it from and after the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrowers to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement. In all instances, each Lender’s liability to make Credit Extensions hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Lender’s pro rata share of the applicable Commitment. In the event Agent or any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of the Obligations, Agent or any such Lender shall so notify Borrowers such that Borrowers may respond with the time period required by this Section 13.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.1, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.1 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.1(d). Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States of America a copy of each Assignment Agreement and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Credit Extensions 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 Borrowers and Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and Lenders, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)    Any sale of a participation by a Lender of all or any part of its Commitments shall be made with the understanding that all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to any amendment, modification, or waiver with respect to (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or fees payable with respect to, any Credit Extension in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of the scheduled amortization of the principal amount of any Credit Extension in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any

release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents). Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, a participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 2.13 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.1(b), provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions (including the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.13(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.13(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.1(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.13, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrowers' request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.14(b) with respect to any participant. Except as set forth in this Section 13.1(d), no Borrower shall have any obligation or duty to any participant and may continue to deal solely with the Lender selling a participation as if no such sale had occurred. None of Agent, any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation), and Borrowers shall have any duty to any participant and may continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender selling a participation in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement as if no such sale had occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 13.2 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its participant(s). Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its obligations, acting solely for this purpose as agent for Borrowers, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of such participants (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and the rights, interests or obligations of such participants and in any right to receive any payments (including principal and stated interest) hereunder (each, a “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Credit Extensions, Commitments or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that disclosure is required to establish that such a participation in a Credit Extension, Commitment or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c). For avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. No participation shall be effective for any purpose under the Loan Documents unless recorded in the relevant Lender’s Participant Register. The entries in each Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Lender, each Borrower, and Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The requirement for a Participant Register set forth in this Section 13.1(d) shall be construed so that the Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.871-14(c).

(e)    Except as expressly provided in this Section 13.1, no Lender shall, as between Borrowers and that Lender, or Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Credit Extensions or other Obligations owed to such Lender.

(f)    Each Borrower shall execute and deliver any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be necessary or otherwise reasonably requested to effect an assignment or participation permitted under this Section 13.1.

(g)    A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrowers in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided, that such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from assignees or participants confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 13.9.

(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender will sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s obligations, rights and benefits hereunder pursuant to this Section 13.1 (other than assignments by such Lender due to a forced divestiture at the request of any regulatory agency) to any Person who is not a Qualified Assignee.

13.2    Expenses; Indemnification; Damage Waiver.

(a)    Costs and Expenses. Borrowers shall pay, without duplication, (i) all Agent Expenses, (ii) all Lender Expenses, and (iii) without duplication or derogation of any Agent Expenses or any Lender Expenses, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 13.2, or (B) in connection with the Credit Extensions made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Credit Extensions; provided, that the attorneys’ fees and expenses that constitute reimbursable expenses under this Section 13.2(a) shall, without duplication or derogation of any Agent Expenses or any Lender Expenses, in any event be limited to one primary counsel to Agent and one primary counsel to the Lenders that are not the Agent or an Affiliate of the Agent, taken as a whole, one local counsel to Agent in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction, one specialty counsel to Agent in each reasonably necessary specialty area (including insolvency law), and one or more additional counsel to Lenders that are not the Agent or an Affiliate of the Agent if one or more conflicts of interest arise.

(b)    Indemnification by Borrowers. Borrowers shall indemnify Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Lender, and their respective officers, employees, and agents (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including any Borrower) 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 or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Credit Extension 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 any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to any 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 any Borrower, 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 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. This Section 13.2(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)    Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrowers for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 13.2(a) or Section 13.2(b) to be paid by it to Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Agent (or any such sub-agent), as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s applicable percentage at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); 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 Agent (or any such sub-agent), or against any officer, employee, or agent of any of the foregoing acting for Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this 13.2(c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.9(c).

(d)    Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential 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 Credit Extension, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 13.2(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any

information or other materials distributed by it 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.

(e)    Payments. All amounts due under this Section 13.2 shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.

(f)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.2 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder.

13.3    Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.

13.4    Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

13.5    Amendments and Waivers; Integration.

(a)    Neither this Agreement nor the other Loan Documents can be amended or terminated orally. Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by Agent, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrowers, Agent, and Required Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable, and as set forth below. Except as set forth in Sections 13.5(b) and 13.5(c), all such amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders shall require the written consent of Required Lenders.

(b)    No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement that waives compliance with the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 to the making of any Credit Extension shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, Required Lenders, and Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no waiver or consent with respect to any Event of Default shall be effective for purposes of the conditions precedent to the making of Credit Extensions set forth in Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, Required Lenders, and Borrowers.

(c)    No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent and each Lender directly affected thereby (in addition to Required Lenders): (i) increase the principal amount, or postpone or extend the scheduled date of expiration, of any Lender’s Commitment (which action shall be deemed only to affect those Lenders whose Commitments are increased or the scheduled date of expiration of whose Commitments are postponed or extended and may be approved by Required Lenders, including those Lenders whose Commitments are increased or the scheduled date of expiration of whose Commitments are postponed or extended); (ii) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on (other than any determination or waiver to charge or not charge interest at the default rate) or fees payable with respect to any Credit Extension of any affected Lender; (iii) extend any scheduled payment date or final maturity date of the principal amount of any Credit Extension of any affected Lender; (iv) waive, forgive, defer, extend or postpone any payment of interest or fees as to any affected Lender (which action shall be deemed only to affect those Lenders to whom such payments are made); (v) release any guaranty of the Obligations or, except as otherwise permitted in Section 14.8, release Collateral (which action shall be deemed to directly affect all Lenders); (vi) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions that shall be required for Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder (which action shall be deemed to directly affect all Lenders); (vii) amend or waive this Section 13.5 or the definition of the term “Required Lenders” insofar as such definition affects the substance of this Section 13.5; and (viii) amend or waive any provision of Section 2.16 (which action shall be deemed to directly affect all Lenders). Furthermore, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Agent in

addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be required for Agent to take additional Collateral pursuant to any Loan Document. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any promissory note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the holder of that promissory note. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower or any other Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Agent may amend the commitments and names of Lenders on Schedule 2.1 to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 13.1. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Agent and Borrowers may amend or modify this Agreement and any other Loan Document by written agreement signed by Agent and Borrowers to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency herein or therein.

(e)    Agent’s or any Lenders’ failure, at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Agent thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.

(f)    Any suspension or waiver by the Agent or Lenders, as applicable, of an Event of Default under this Agreement or a default under any of the other Loan Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default under this Agreement or any other default under any of the other Loan Documents, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different kind or character. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Event of Default under this Agreement or default under any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Agent unless such suspension or waiver is in writing signed by Agent, and directed to Borrowers specifying such suspension or waiver.

(g)    All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

13.6    Application of Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Agent from or on behalf of any Borrower, and Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received at any time or times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default until Payment in Full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all payments (including the proceeds of any asset disposition or other sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral) received after acceleration of the Obligations shall be applied as follows:

(i)    first, to all indemnities and costs and expenses incurred by or owing to Agent with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral;

(ii)    second, to all indemnities and costs and expenses incurred by or owing to Lenders with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral;

(iii)    third, ratably, to accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect to the Obligations (including any interest which but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts);

(iv)    fourth, to the principal amount of the Secured Obligations outstanding, to cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit (to the extent not otherwise already then cash collateralized in accordance with this Agreement) and to cash collateralize Card Service Obligations (to the extent not otherwise already then cash collateralized in accordance with this Agreement), pro rata among all such Secured Obligations (based upon the principal amount

thereof, the outstanding face amount of such Letters of Credit, or the maximum available amount of such Card Service Obligations, as applicable); and

(v)    fifth, to the satisfaction of any other outstanding Secured Obligations until Payment in Full.

Any balance remaining shall be delivered to Borrowers or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

13.7    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

13.8    Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until Payment In Full. The obligations of Borrowers to indemnify Agent and each Lender with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 13.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Agent or such Lender have run.

13.9    Confidentiality. In handling any Confidential Information Agent, each Lender, and their respective employees and agents, including but not limited to accountants, shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any Confidential Information, except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Agent or such Lender in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrowers, (ii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 13.9, to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Agent or such Lender (in which case such disclosing Person agrees to inform Borrowers promptly thereof to the extent not prohibited by law, rule or regulation); and (v) as Agent or such Lender may determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder. For purposes of this Section 13.9, “Confidential Information” means all information received from Borrowers or any Subsidiary relating to Borrowers or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than information that either: (A) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis when disclosed to Agent or such Lender, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Agent or such Lender through no fault of Agent or such Lender; or (B) is disclosed to Agent or any Lender by a third party on a non-confidential basis, provided Agent or such Lender does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information.

13.10    Patriot Act Notice. Agent notifies Borrowers that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes names and addresses and other information that will allow Agent or any Lender, as applicable, to identify any Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

13.11    Erroneous Payments.

(a)    Each Lender (and each participant of any of the foregoing, by its acceptance of a participation) hereby acknowledges and agrees that if Agent notifies such Lender that Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Lender (any of the foregoing, a “Payment Recipient”) from Agent (or any of its Affiliates) were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) and demands the return of such Payment, such Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to Agent the amount of any such Payment as to which such a demand was made. A notice of Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 13.11 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)    Without limitation of Section 13.11(a), each Payment Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that if such Payment Recipient receives a Payment from Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in an amount, or on a date different from the amount and/or date specified in a notice of payment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”), (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (iii) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, it understands and agrees at the time of receipt of such Payment that an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error) with respect to such Payment. Each Payment Recipient agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly notify Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made.

(c)    Any Payment required to be returned by a Payment Recipient under this Section shall be made in same day funds in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. Each Payment Recipient hereby agrees that it shall not assert and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment or similar right to any demand by Agent for the return of any Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(d)    The parties hereto agree that (i) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (ii) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by Borrowers, provided that this Section 13.11 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of Borrowers relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such erroneous Payment not been made by Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to the extent any such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Agent from Borrowers for the purpose of making a Payment.

(e)    Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 13.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

13.12    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or

other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

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

(a)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)    As used in this Section 13.13, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i)    a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii)    a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

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

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

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

“Swap Contract” means (a) any and all rate swap transactions, basis swaps, credit derivative transactions, forward rate transactions, commodity swaps, commodity options, forward commodity contracts, equity or equity index swaps or options, bond or bond price or

bond index swaps or options or forward bond or forward bond price or forward bond index transactions, interest rate options, forward foreign exchange transactions, cap transactions, floor transactions, collar transactions, currency swap transactions, cross-currency rate swap transactions, currency options, spot contracts, or any other similar transactions or any combination of any of the foregoing (including any options to enter into any of the foregoing), whether or not any such transaction is governed by or subject to any master agreement, and (b) any and all transactions of any kind, and the related confirmations, that are subject to the terms and conditions of, or governed by, any form of master agreement published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., any International Foreign Exchange Master Agreement, or any other master agreement (any such master agreement, together with any related schedules, a “Master Agreement”), including any such obligations or liabilities under any Master Agreement.

13.14    Effect of Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement does completely amend and restate the terms and conditions of the Original Loan Agreement, and any indebtedness outstanding thereunder shall be deemed to be outstanding under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes or shall be deemed to be a repayment or novation of such indebtedness, or to release or otherwise adversely affect any lien, mortgage or security interest securing such indebtedness or any rights of WAB, Agent, or any other Lender against any Person primarily or secondarily liable for such indebtedness.

14.1    Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints WAB as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to execute and deliver the Loan Documents (and any intercreditor or subordination agreements contemplated hereby) and to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on behalf of Lenders subject to the requirement that certain of Lenders’ consent be obtained in certain instances as provided in this Section 14 and Section 13.5. The provisions of this Section 14.1 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no Borrower shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, by or through its agents or employees.

14.2    Nature of Duties. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition, operations, assets and affairs of each Borrower in connection with the extension of credit hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower, and Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than as expressly required herein). If Agent seeks the consent or approval of any Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, then Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders have instructed Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

14.3    Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except to the extent resulting from Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Agent shall not be

liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). In no event shall Agent be liable for punitive, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary or other similar damages. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account, but neither Agent nor any of its agents or representatives shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any Borrower. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the financial condition of any Borrower, or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default. Agent may at any time request instructions from Required Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents that Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant. If such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders or such other portion of Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable; and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable, Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action is deemed to be illegal by Agent or exposes Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with Section 14.5.

14.4    Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any written or oral notices, statements, certificates, signatures, resolutions, representations, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, fax or electronic transmission) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by Agent in its sole discretion.

14.5    Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lenders agree to and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Agent (and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent in its capacity as such under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s pro rata share, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not reimbursed by Borrowers to the extent required by this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements to the extent resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by the Required Lenders or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement until such additional indemnity is furnished. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and applicable taxes) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document

contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers to the extent required by this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 14.5 shall survive Payment In Full, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral and the Loan Documents, and the resignation or replacement of Agent and the termination of this Agreement.

14.6    Agent Individually. With respect to its Commitments hereunder, WAB (or any successor Agent) shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include WAB (or any successor Agent) in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required Lenders. WAB (or any successor Agent), either directly or through strategic affiliations, may lend money to, acquire equity or other ownership interests in, provide advisory services to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Borrower as if it were not acting as Agent pursuant hereto and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. WAB (or any successor Agent), either directly or through strategic affiliations, may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

14.7    Successor Agent.

(a)    Resignation. Agent may resign from the performance of all its agency functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Borrowers and Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to Section 14.7(b) or as otherwise provided in Section 14.7(b).

(b)    Appointment of Successor. Upon any such notice of resignation pursuant to Section 14.7(a), Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent which, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be subject to Borrowers’ approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within the thirty (30) day period referred to in Section 14.7(a), the resigning Agent, upon notice to Borrowers, shall then appoint a successor Agent which, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above; provided, that if no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a resigning Agent’s notice of resignation, the resigning Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective upon notice by Agent to Borrowers and Lenders that no successor Agent has been appointed and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

(c)    Successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under the Loan Documents by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent, and the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any resigning Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 14 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in its capacity as Agent.

14.8    Collateral Matters.

(a)    Release of Collateral. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition by any Borrower (other than any such sale, transfer or other disposition to another Borrower or any other Person obligated in respect of the Secured Obligations) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted by this Agreement and so certified to Agent by Borrowers (which such certification Agent may, but shall not be required to, conclusively rely in good faith, without further inquiry), or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest in any Collateral created pursuant to Section 13.5, the Agent’s Lien in such Collateral shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 14.8(a), Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the relevant Borrower, and shall file and record, at such Borrower’s expense, all documents that such Borrower shall

reasonably request to evidence such release, including UCC-3 amendments or termination statements in relation to any UCC-1 financing statements then of record, and shall promptly return to the relevant Borrower any share certificates (and related powers and proxies), instruments, chattel paper, negotiable documents of title and other Collateral theretofore delivered to Agent, each in the form in which the same was received, free and clear of all Liens created by and through Agent.

(b)    Confirmation of Authority; Execution of Releases. Without in any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by Lenders (as set forth in Section 14.8(a)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Agent or Borrowers, the authority to release any Collateral conferred upon Agent under Section 14.8(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 13.5) to take any action requested by Borrowers having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 13.5or (ii) under the circumstances described in Section 14.8(a). Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent upon such Collateral; provided, that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of any Borrower, in respect of), all interests retained by any Borrower, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(c)    Absence of Duty. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the property covered by the Loan Documents exists or is owned by Borrowers or any other Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 14.8 or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the property covered by the Loan Documents or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in property covered by the Loan Documents as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Lenders so long as Agent exercises the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account. By accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, any Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to have appointed Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a “Lender”, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 14.8(c); provided, Agent shall not owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any Bank Product Provider with respect to any Bank Product Obligation. Agent shall have no duty to determine the amount or the existence of any amounts owing under any Bank Product Obligations. In connection with any distribution of payments and collections or termination or release by Agent of any Liens or guarantors thereunder, Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due under any Bank Product Agreement unless the applicable Bank Product Provider has notified Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it at least five (5) Business Days prior to such distribution, termination or release. It is understood and agreed that the rights and benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents of each Bank Product Provider, in such capacity, consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s right to share in payments and collections of the Collateral and payments under any guaranty of the Obligations. All Bank Product Obligations or Swap Obligations with a Bank Product Provider shall be secured but on a silent basis, so that notwithstanding any other provision, if any, in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Bank Product Provider shall be able to take any action in respect of the Collateral or any guaranty of the Obligations nor instruct the Required Lenders or Agent to take any such action nor have any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or the obligations of any guarantor of the Obligations.

(d)    Agency for Perfection. Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other

than Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Loan Document or to realize upon any collateral security for the Secured Obligations unless instructed to do so by Agent in writing, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent.

14.9    Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will use reasonable efforts to notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice, unless such notice is with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees, in which case Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as may be requested in writing by Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9. Unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to give blockage notices in connection with any Subordinated Debt at the direction of Required Lenders and Agent and agrees that it will not act unilaterally to deliver such blockage notices.

14.10    Lender Actions Against Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against Borrowers or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Agent in accordance with Section 14 for the benefit of all Lenders; provided, that, the foregoing shall not prohibit Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Agent is authorized to issue all notices to be issued by or on behalf of Lenders with respect to any Subordinated Debt. With respect to any action by Agent to enforce the rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Lender hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action is maintained, and agrees to deliver its promissory notes, if any, to Agent to the extent necessary to enforce the rights and remedies of Agent for the benefit of Lenders.

14.11    Agent Reports. Each Lender may from time to time receive one or more reports or other information (each, a “Report”) prepared by or on behalf of Agent (or one or more of Agent’s Affiliates). With respect to each Report, each Lender hereby agrees that:

(a)    Agent (and Agent’s Affiliates) shall have no duties or obligations in connection with or as a result of a Lender receiving a copy of a Report, which will be provided solely as a courtesy, without consideration. Each Lender will perform its own diligence and will make its own independent investigation of the operations, financial conditions and affairs of Borrowers and will not rely on any Report or make any claim that it has done so. In addition, each Lender releases, and agrees that it will not assert, any claim against Agent (or one or more of Agent’s Affiliates) that in any way relates to any Report or arises out of a Lender having access to any Report or any discussion of its contents, and each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent (and Agent’s Affiliates) and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys from all claims, liabilities and expenses relating to a breach by such Lender or any of its personnel of this Section 14.11 or otherwise arising out of such Lender’s access to any Report or any discussion of its contents;

(b)    Each Report may not be complete and certain information and findings obtained by Agent (or one or more of Agent’s Affiliates) regarding the operations and condition of Borrowers may not be reflected in each Report. Agent (and Agent’s Affiliates) makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to (i) any existing or proposed financing; (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in any Report or in any other related documentation; (iii) the scope or adequacy of Agent’s (and Agent’s Affiliates’) due diligence, or the presence or absence of any errors or omissions contained in any Report or in any other related documentation; and (iv) any work performed by Agent (or

one or more of Agent’s Affiliates) in connection with or using any Report or any related documentation; and

(c)    Each Lender agrees to safeguard each Report and any related documentation with the same care which it uses with respect to information of its own which it does not desire to disseminate or publish, and agrees not to reproduce or distribute or provide copies of or disclose any Report or any other related documentation or any related discussions to anyone.

14.12    Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Credit Extension shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on any guarantor) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any Credit Extension, and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Agent and their respective agents and attorneys and all other amounts due Lenders and Agent under this Agreement) allowed in such judicial proceedings; and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and attorneys, and any other amounts due Agent as provided hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

14.13    Certain ERISA Matters.

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

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

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

(iii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84–14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Credit Extensions, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Credit Extensions, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-

sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84–14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84–14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Credit Extensions, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

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

(b)    In addition, unless either (i) clause (i) of Section 14.13(a) is true with respect to a Lender or (ii) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with clause (iv) of Section 14.13(a), such Lender further (A) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (B) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower, that Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Credit Extensions, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

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

14.15    Return of Payments. If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from Borrowers and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, together with interest accruing on a daily basis at the Federal Funds Rate. If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrowers or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to Borrowers or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

15.1    Primary Obligation. This Agreement is a primary and original obligation of each Borrower and shall remain in effect notwithstanding future changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity in the creation or acquisition of any Obligations or in the execution or delivery of any agreement between Agent or any Lender and any Borrower. Each Borrower shall be liable for existing and future Obligations as fully as if all of all Credit Extensions were advanced to such Borrower. Agent and each Lender may rely on any certificate or representation made by any Borrower as made on behalf of, and binding on, all Borrowers, including without limitation Borrowing Requests, disbursement request forms, borrowing base certificates and compliance certificates.

15.2    Enforcement of Rights. Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the Obligations and Agent or any Lender, as applicable, may proceed against one or more of Borrowers to enforce the Obligations without waiving its right to proceed against any of the other Borrowers.

15.3    Borrowers as Agents. Each Borrower appoints the other Borrower as its agent with all necessary power and authority to give and receive notices, certificates or demands for and on behalf of all

Borrowers, to act as disbursing agent for receipt of any Credit Extensions on behalf of each Borrower and to apply to Agent on behalf of each Borrower for Credit Extensions, any waivers and any consents. This authorization cannot be revoked, and Agent need not inquire as to each Borrower’s authority to act for or on behalf of another Borrower.

15.4    Subrogation and Similar Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrowers to the rights of Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by Borrowers with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrowers with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 15.4 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 15.4, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Agent and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Agent for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

15.5    Waivers of Notice. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Borrower waives notice of acceptance hereof; notice of the existence, creation or acquisition of any of the Obligations; notice of an Event of Default; notice of the amount of the Obligations outstanding at any time; notice of intent to accelerate; notice of acceleration; notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Borrower’s risk; presentment for payment; demand; protest and notice thereof as to any instrument; default; and all other notices and demands to which such Borrower would otherwise be entitled. Each Borrower waives any defense arising from any defense of any other Borrower, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower. Agent’s or any Lender’s failure at any time to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of the Loan Documents shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Agent from foreclosing on the Lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or other security instrument, or exercising any rights available thereunder, and the exercise of any such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act or omission of Agent or any lender that changes the scope of such Borrower’s risks hereunder.

15.6    Subrogation Defenses. Each Borrower hereby waives any defense based on impairment or destruction of its subrogation or other rights against any other Borrower and waives all benefits which might otherwise be available to it under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899, and 3433 and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, as those statutory provisions are now in effect and hereafter amended, and under any other similar statutes now and hereafter in effect.

15.7    Right to Settle, Release.

(a)    The liability of Borrowers hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any agreement, understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was to be guaranteed by another Person or secured by other property, or (ii) any release or unenforceability, whether partial or total, of rights, if any, which Agent or any Lender may now or hereafter have against any other Person, including another Borrower, or property with respect to any of the Obligations.

(b)    Without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, Agent or any Lender may (i) compromise, settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any of the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to a Borrower in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents relating to the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (iv) release, surrender or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Secured Obligations, whether pledged by a Borrower or any other Person, or (v) compromise, settle, renew, or extend the time for payment,

discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any obligations of any guarantor, endorser or other Person who is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of the Obligations.

15.8    Subordination. All indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter arising held by another Borrower is subordinated to the Secured Obligations and the Borrower holding the indebtedness shall take all actions reasonably requested by Agent to effect, to enforce and to give notice of such subordination.

15.9    Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the “Borrower Representative”), which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Borrower Representative (a) to provide Agent with all notices with respect to Credit Extensions obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and any notice or instruction provided by Borrower Representative shall be deemed to be given by Borrowers hereunder and shall bind each Borrower), (b) to receive notices and instructions from members of the Lender Group (and any notice or instruction provided by Agent or any Lender to Borrower Representative in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been given to each Borrower), and (c) to take such action as Borrower Representative deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Credit Extensions and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Credit Extensions and Collateral in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that none of Agent and the Lenders shall incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Credit Extensions and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce Agent and the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees, subject to Section 13.2(b), to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the handling of the Credit Extensions and Collateral of Borrowers as herein provided, or (ii) Agent’s or any Lender’s relying on any instructions of Borrower Representative.

BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND AGREES THAT: (A) THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN ALL PARTIES, (B) THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES, AND (C) THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF ANY PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR UNDERSTANDINGS OF ANY OF THE PARTIES.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first above written.
