Section 2.10. Collection Accounts and Lock-Box. Borrower shall establish and, until the Program Termination Date, continuously maintain, the Collection Accounts and the Lock-Box, (which commencing on the Collection Account Effective Date shall be the Tranche A and Tranche B Collection Accounts and, commencing on the Lock-Box Effective Date, the Lock-Box) into which the Transferor, the Servicer, and/or Borrower shall cause all Account Debtors of the Assigned Receivables to remit all cash, checks, drafts, items and other instruments for the payment of money which it now has or may at any time hereafter receive in full or partial payment on or collection of the Assigned Receivables or the proceeds of the Assigned Receivables, it being understood that (i) commencing on the Collection Account Effective Date, the Borrower (directly or through the Servicer) shall instruct all Account Debtors that pay by wire transfer of funds, automated clearing house (“ACH”) entries, credits from merchant card transactions and other electronic fund transfers to make such payments directly

to the relevant Collection Account, although such Account Debtors may continue to pay to the Sanmina Accounts during the Collection Account Ramp-Up Period provided such Sanmina Accounts are swept daily into the Collection Accounts, and (ii) from the Lock-Box Effective Date and commencing thereon, the Borrower (directly or through the Servicer) shall instruct all Account Debtors that pay by check, draft or other instruments to make such payments directly to the Lock-Box, although such Account Debtors may continue to pay to the Sanmina Lock-Box during the Lock-Box Ramp-Up Period. In the event any items of payment on any Assigned Receivables are inadvertently received by Borrower or any other Person, whether or not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Program Document, Borrower or such other Person shall be deemed to hold the same in trust for the benefit of the Agent and shall promptly deposit such items of payment in the Collection Accounts without setoff, counterclaim, or other deduction. Amounts paid into the Lock-Box will be credited thereto in accordance with the terms and conditions of the lock-box agreement between the Borrower and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas.

Section 2.11. Designation of New Eligible Obligors. (a) If the Borrower wishes to designate a Contingent Eligible Obligor as an Eligible Obligor (a “New Eligible Obligor”), it shall first notify the Agent of the designation of such customer as a New Eligible Obligor. Subject to (i) the prior written consent of the Required Lenders to the addition of such New Eligible Obligor, (ii) determination of the applicable Obligor Limits and Applicable Margin for such New Eligible Obligor by Required Lenders, (iii) compliance with the requirements for perfection of the ownership and security interest in the Receivables arising from sales to such Eligible Obligor, and legal opinions, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and the Lenders, and (iv) fulfillment by each Lender of the procedures specified in Section 2.11(b), such customer shall be deemed to be an Eligible Obligor for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Program Documents. The Borrower shall use its reasonable commercial efforts, consistent with its obligations of confidentiality, to provide such information concerning the New Eligible Obligors and their contractual relations with the Transferor as the Agent may reasonably request.

(b) In connection with its designation of a Contingent Eligible Obligor as a New Eligible Obligor hereunder, the Borrower shall request the establishment of Commitments in respect of such Contingent Eligible Obligor in an amount that, when added together with the then existing Commitments does not exceed $250,000,000. At the time of sending such request, the Borrower (in consultation with the Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than 15 Business Days from the date of delivery of such request to the Lenders). Each Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether it will establish a Commitment in respect of such New Eligible Obligor, and shall notify the Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to establish such a Commitment, it being understood that each Lender must agree to establish a Commitment for such New Eligible Obligor in an amount equal to its pro rata share of such requested amount for the Commitment to take effect with respect to such Lender; provided, however, that if any Lender declines to establish a Commitment accordingly (any such Lender being a “Non-Increasing Lender” with respect to such New Eligible Obligor), the other Lenders may agree to increase their Commitments in respect of such New Eligible Obligor by an aggregate amount equal to the full amount of what would have been such Non-Increasing Lender’s pro rata share of the requested increase (no such increase by the other Lenders being permitted in an aggregate amount of less than the full amount of such pro rata share). Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to establish a Commitment for such New Eligible Obligor and shall constitute a Non-Increasing Lender with respect to such New Eligible Obligor.

(c) If the Lenders agree to increase the Commitments in accordance with this Section, the Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date of such increase (an “Increase Effective Date”) and promptly notify the Lenders thereof. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate (i) certifying that before and after giving effect to such increase, the representations and warranties contained in Article 4 are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date and (ii) no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event exists. The Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule 1.1E (which shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement) to reflect the changes therein resulting from such increase.

(d) If the Borrower wishes to increase the Obligor Limits in respect of one or more Eligible Obligors from time to time, subject to (i) the prior written consent of the Lenders to the increase, and (ii) determination of the applicable Obligor Limits, the newly approved Obligor Limit shall be effective for all purposes

hereunder. The Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule 1.1E (which shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement) to reflect the changes therein resulting from such increase.

In connection with the request for an increase in Obligor Limits, at the time of sending such request, the Borrower (in consultation with the Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than 15 Business Days from the date of delivery of such request to the Lenders). Each Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether it will agree to such increase, and shall notify the Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to establish such a new Obligor Limit, it being understood that each Lender must agree in order for such new Obligor Limit to take effect.

(e) Under the terms of the Revolving Trade Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of June 26, 2008 (the “Sanmina Foreign Facility”) among the Agent, Sanmina-SCI Corporation and affiliates of Sanmina-SCI Corporation, the Originators thereunder are entitled to reduce their available Purchaser’s Investment Limit. In the event that the Originators under the Sanmina Foreign Facility reduce the Purchaser’s Investment Limit thereunder, then the Agent shall increase the Commitments hereunder by a corresponding amount, subject in all events to the Obligor Limits and other terms and conditions hereunder.

Section 2.12 Evidence of Debt. The Agent, on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.09(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the identity of each Lender, (ii) the amount of each Advance made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Advance, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) both the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from Borrower and each Lenders’ share thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the Program Documents and at law, including without limitation its right to withdraw Collections from the Collection Accounts and the Lock-Box and apply them as set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Proceeds of any of the Collateral and payments by Borrower during the existence of a Termination Event received by the Agent shall be applied by the Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.08(b). In the event that the proceeds of the Collateral are not sufficient to pay the Obligations in full, Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency.

(c) Unless and except to the extent expressly provided for to the contrary herein, the rights of the Agent specified herein shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, Agent’s rights under the UCC, or any other statute or rule of law or equity, or under any other provision of any of the Program Documents, or under the provisions of any other document, instrument or other writing executed by Borrower or any third party in favor of the Agent all of which may be exercised successively or concurrently.

Section 6.03. Power of Attorney. Borrower irrevocably designates and appoints the Agent its true and lawful attorney, during the existence of a Termination Event, either in its name or in the name of Borrower to ask for, demand, xxx for, collect, compromise, compound, receive, give receipt for, and give acquittances for any and all sums owing or which may become due upon any items of the Assigned Receivables, their Related Rights and Property, and the other Collateral and, in connection therewith, to take any and all actions as the Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to realize upon the same, including, without limitation, power to endorse in the name of Borrower, any checks, drafts, notes, or other instruments received in payment of or on account of the Assigned Receivables, their Related Rights and Property, and the other Collateral, but the Agent shall be under no duty to exercise any such authority or power or in any way be responsible for the collection thereof.

ARTICLE 7.
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES; COMPENSATION

Section 7.01. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If any Change of Law:

(i) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or

(ii) shall impose on any Lender or on the United States market for certificates of deposit any other condition affecting the Aggregate Advances, or on any Lender’s obligation to make Advances; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Advance or the Aggregate Advances, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement with respect thereto, then, in accordance with Section 7.01(c), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined in good faith that after the date hereof that any Change in Law affecting such Lender regarding capital requirements would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of their obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, in accordance with 7.01(c), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) Each affected Lender will promptly notify Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section. A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

ARTICLE 9.
THE AGENT

Section 9.01. Designation. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Program Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Agent, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Program Documents to which it is a party or by which it is bound and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Program Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, without limitation, (a) receiving all applicable notices referred to in this Agreement or in the other Program Documents on behalf of such Lender, (b) giving all applicable notices referred to in this Agreement or the other Program Documents to or on behalf of such Lender, (c) maintaining the Register pursuant to Section 10.09(d) and (d) receiving payments and deposits from Borrower or the Transferor, as the case may be, and giving release and acquittance therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Agent, not individually or personally, but solely as Agent in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under this Agreement, (b) the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Lenders are made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by the Agent but are made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Lenders, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on the Agent, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties who are signatories to this Agreement and any other Program Document in which the Agent is bound to exercise any powers or perform any obligations of the Lenders and by any person claiming by, through or under such parties and (d) under no circumstances shall the Agent be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Lenders or be liable for the actions or omissions of the Lenders or the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Program Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Program Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Program Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. The provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact and affiliates, and no other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. The Agent shall perform its obligations hereunder with reasonable care, using a degree of skill and attention no less than that which the Agent (i) exercises with respect to comparable duties that it performs when holding comparable assets for itself and (ii) exercises with respect to comparable administrative duties that it performs for comparable assets for others, and in a manner consistent with the standard of care exercised by similar administrators relating to the duties to be performed hereunder. The Agent shall have no obligations, duties or responsibilities except for those set forth in this Agreement.

Section 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Program Documents by or through agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 9.03. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Program Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have proximately resulted from its or such Person’s own negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any Person (including without limitation any of Lenders) for (A) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Person (other than an Agent or any of their respective

officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates) contained in this Agreement or any other Program Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Program Document, (B) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, collectability, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Program Document, (C) any Liens or guarantees granted by, or purported to be granted by, any of the Program Documents or otherwise, (D) ascertaining or inquiring as to the existence or possible existence of any Termination Event, or (E) any failure of any party hereto or thereto (other than an Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates) to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Program Document, to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or the Transferor, or to take any action that may subject the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 9.04. Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon (i) any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and (ii) advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Advance as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent, as the case may be. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Program Document unless it shall first receive such written advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with any direction given by Lenders or any other party authorized to direct the Agent hereunder and in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Program Documents in accordance with a request or direction of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders.

Section 9.05. Notice of Termination. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Termination Event unless a Senior Officer of the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower, the Transferor or Servicer referring to this Agreement, describing such Termination Event and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Lenders and the Agent. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Termination Event as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Termination Event as they shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

Section 9.06. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of Borrower, or any affiliate of Borrower or Sanmina-SCI Corporation shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower, Sanmina-SCI Corporation and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its purchases hereunder and enter into this Agreement and the other Program Documents to which it is a party or by which it is bound. Each Lender also represents and covenants that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates or any other Lender, and based on such documents and

information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Program Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower, Servicer, Sanmina-SCI Corporation and their respective affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Borrower, or any affiliate of any of them or of Sanmina-SCI Corporation that may come into the possession of Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section 9.07. Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Lender’s Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.07 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Lender’s Commitments shall have terminated and the Advances shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Lender’s Commitments immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates in any way relating to or arising out of, the Lender’s Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Program Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in its opinion, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall require Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any Program Document, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder or thereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any indemnification under this Section 9.07, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party. The agreements in this Section 9.07 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

Section 9.08. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, Sanmina-SCI Corporation or its Affiliates as though such Agent were not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any other Person. With respect to its Advances, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Program Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 9.09. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 20 days’ written notice to Lenders and Servicer. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Program Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor agent for Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless a “Termination Event” shall occur under Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(i) hereunder and be continuing, in which instance any such appointment shall be immediately effective and shall not require any prior notice to or approval of Servicer or any other Person) be subject to approval by Servicer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent under this Agreement and the Program Documents, and the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Documents, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and

duties as Agent, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent, any of the parties to this Agreement or any Program Document, or any holders of the Advances. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent, as the case may be, by the date that is 20 days following a resigning Agent’s notice of resignation, the resigning Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any resigning Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 shall continue to apply to it with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent, under this Agreement and the other Program Documents, including, without limitation, the liability of the Agent under Section 9.03 for (and the exclusion from any liability of any Lender to indemnify the Agent under Section 9.07 in respect of) any such actions or omissions that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.10. Determination Pursuant to Program Documents. In each circumstance where, under any provision of a Program Document or this Agreement, the Agent shall have the right to grant or withhold any consent, exercise any remedy, make any determination or direct any action by Agent under such Program Document, Agent shall act in respect of such consent, exercise of remedies, determination or action, as the case may be, only with the consent of and at the direction of the Required Lenders unless unanimity is required by the relevant agreement; provided, however, that no such consent of the Required Lenders shall be required with respect to any consent, determination or other matter that is, in Agent’s reasonable judgment, ministerial or administrative in nature or provided for in this Agreement, and provided that Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of Lenders, without the necessity of any further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to a Termination Event, to release portions of the Collateral from the security interests and Liens imposed by the Program Documents in connection with any dispositions of such portions of the Collateral permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the Program Documents or as may be required by law. In each circumstance where any consent of or direction from the Required Lenders is required, Agent shall send to Lenders a notice setting forth a description in reasonable detail of the matter as to which consent or direction is requested and Agent’s proposed course of action with respect thereto.

Section 9.11. Additional Information. In order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (“Applicable Law”), the Agent is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Agent. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Agent upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Agent to comply with Applicable Law.

ARTICLE 10.

Each such notice, request, or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopier, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopier number specified in this Section and the confirmation is received (provided that the party giving such notice shall deliver a copy of such notice to the receiving party by overnight delivery or U.S. mail); if given by U.S. mail, when shown on the “return receipt” delivered to the sender via U.S. mail; or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Agent under Article 2 shall not be effective until received.

Section 10.02. No Waivers. The failure of Borrower to satisfy, or the waiver by the Lenders or the Agent on behalf of the Lenders of, any condition set forth in Article 8 shall not constitute a waiver of any such condition with respect to any subsequent Advance, unless such waiver is expressly agreed to in writing as required by Section 10.07. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder or under any other Program Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.

The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 10.03. Expenses; Documentary Taxes. Borrower shall pay or reimburse (a) all out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances (including, without limitation, all attorney and paralegal fees and expenses, recording costs, recording or intangible taxes, and title insurance, if any) of the Agent reasonably incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Program Documents, including, without limitation, (i) all costs, fees, and taxes pertaining to the obtaining, preparation, or filing of all Lien searches and Financing Statements (including, without limitation, any release thereof), all costs and fees incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, administration, and execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Program Documents, and any waiver or consent hereunder or thereunder or any amendment hereof or thereof or any Termination Event or alleged Termination Event hereunder or thereunder, (ii) sums paid or incurred to pay for any amount or to take any action required of Borrower hereunder or under any other Program Document that Borrower fails to pay or take; and (iii) in connection with a Termination Event, the reasonably documented costs (an invoice shall be sufficient documentation) and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral; and (b) during the existence of a Termination Event, all costs and expenses (including out-of-pocket attorney and paralegal fees and expenses) reasonably incurred to obtain payment of the Obligations, enforce the Lien in the Collateral, sell or otherwise realize upon the Collateral, and otherwise enforce the provisions hereof or of any Program Document or to defend any claim made or threatened against Lender arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, preparations for and consultations concerning any such matters). The foregoing shall not be construed to limit any other provisions hereof, or of any Program Document regarding costs and expenses to be paid by Borrower or any other Person. In the event Borrower becomes a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Agent’s and each Lender’s secured claim in such case shall include interest on the Obligations and all fees, costs, and charges provided for herein (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees), all to the extent allowed by the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender against any transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments, or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Program Documents. The obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.04. Taxes. (a) All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of or in addition to net income taxes) imposed on the Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Agent or any Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Program Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or other taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and other taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. The obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Each Lender shall deliver to Borrower two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that the Lender is entitled to a complete exemption from deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes with respect to payments under this Agreement. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or other taxes are payable by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter Borrower shall send to the affected Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrower showing payment thereof. If Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or other taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify such Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.

(c) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 7.01 or Section 10.04, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances 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 would reduce or eliminate amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.01 or Section 10.04, as the case may be.

Section 10.05. Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Agent, each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all Losses to which any of them may become subject, insofar as such Losses arise out of or result from any actual or proposed use by Borrower of the proceeds of any Advance or breach by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Program Document or from any investigation, litigation (including, without limitation, any actions taken by the Agent to enforce this Agreement or any of the other Program Documents), or other proceeding (including, without limitation, any threatened investigation or proceeding) relating to the foregoing, and Borrower shall reimburse such Persons upon demand for any expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses of external counsel) reasonably incurred in connection with any such investigation or proceeding; but excluding any such Losses incurred by reason of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. The obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Program Documents.

Section 10.06. Adjustments; Set off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set off, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such Collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral ratably with each of Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 10.07. Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement or any other Program Documents to which the Agent is a party, may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified except in writing signed by the parties hereto and the Agent acting on behalf of the Lenders.

Section 10.08. Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement.

Section 10.09. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent, all future holders of the Advances and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender and Lenders may assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights under this Agreement to banks or financial institutions reasonably acceptable to Agent in accordance with this Section 10.09.

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Advance owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Program Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Advance for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Program Documents, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Program Document, or any consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Advances, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Advances outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or Lender Affiliate (without the consent of the Borrower and the Agent) or to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent, which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (each, an “Assignee”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, executed by such Assignee, such Assignor and any other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this paragraph, and delivered to the Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any Lender Affiliate) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000, in each case except in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement. For purposes of the proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and any other Lenders that are Affiliates of such Lender, if any. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and/or Advances as set forth therein and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.09, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs when a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing.

(d) The Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders and the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to on the signature page hereto a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advances and any Notes evidencing the Advances recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Advance, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Advance evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Advance, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, and thereupon one or more new Notes shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Agent to the Borrower marked “cancelled.” The Register shall be available for inspection by any Lender or Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor, an Assignee and any other Person whose consent is required by Section 10.09(c), together with payment to the Agent of a registration and processing fee of $1,500, the Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto.

(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 10.09 concerning assignments relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

(g) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (f) above, subject to the delivery to the Borrower of the old Note or Notes for cancellation and provided that the amount of each Note or Notes to be so issued is not less than $5,000,000.

Section 10.10. New York Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, without regard for its conflicts of law principles (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Laws).

Section 10.11. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any of the other Program Documents should be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Section 10.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH LENDER EACH (A) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER PROGRAM DOCUMENT; (B) SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE XXXXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER PROGRAM DOCUMENTS; (C) WAIVES ANY AND ALL PERSONAL RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION TO OBJECT ON ANY BASIS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INCONVENIENCE OF FORUM) TO JURISDICTION OR VENUE WITHIN THE STATE AND DISTRICT DESCRIBED ABOVE FOR THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATION TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE OTHER PROGRAM DOCUMENTS; AND (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON IT IN THE MANNER PRESCRIBED IN SECTION 10.01 FOR THE GIVING OF NOTICE BY AGENT. NOTHING HEREIN CONTAINED, HOWEVER, SHALL PREVENT LENDER FROM BRINGING ANY ACTION OR EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS AGAINST ANY SECURITY AND AGAINST BORROWER PERSONALLY, AND AGAINST ANY ASSETS OF BORROWER, WITHIN ANY OTHER STATE OR JURISDICTION.

Section 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

Section 10.14. Consequential Damages. NO PARTY SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER PROGRAM DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 10.15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Program Documents, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede and replace any agreement, written or oral, existing between or among the parties hereto in respect of such subject matter.

Section 10.16. Non-Petition; Limitation on Payments. The Agent hereby covenants and agrees that prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Obligations it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, Borrower any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

Section 10.17. USA Patriot Act. The Agent hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), the Agent is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Transferor, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Transferor and other information (including, but not limited to, Form W-8, Form W-9 and other relevant tax certification) that will allow the Lenders to identify the Borrower and the Transferor in accordance with the Act.
