1.5 Certain Calculations and Tests.

1.5.1 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary (except as expressly set forth in the first proviso of Section 2.1.7 and the last sentence of Section 6.2), for purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision in this Agreement or any Loan Document that requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio), (ii) determining compliance with representations and warranties or the requirement regarding the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) or (iii) testing any cap expressed as a percentage of TTM EBITDA and any other availability of a “basket” or exception set forth in Section 10.2, in each case in connection with a Specified Transaction or other transaction permitted hereunder or Borrowing pursuant to Section 6.2, undertaken in connection

with the consummation of a Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, at the election of the Borrower Agent (such election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), will be deemed to be (x) the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (and if determined at such time, may be recalculated, at the election of the Borrower Agent, as of any Test Period ending immediately prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction) or (y) the date the irrevocable notice (which may be conditional) in respect of the prepayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other payment of Debt or Equity Interests is delivered (and if determined at such time, may be recalculated, at the election of the Borrower Agent, as of any Test Period ending immediately prior to the making of such prepayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other payment or at the time of the making of such prepayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other payment) (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recently completed Tests Period ending on or prior to the LCT Test Date, the Borrowers could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratios, representation, warranty, absence of Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) or “basket”, such ratio, representation, warranty, absence of Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower Agent has made an LCT Election and (x) any of the ratios or “baskets” for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or “basket” (including fluctuations resulting from the target of any Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such “baskets” or ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder and (y) in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or “basket” availability on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or “basket” availability shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof (but without netting the cash proceeds thereof)) had been consummated. For the further avoidance of doubt, in the absence of an LCT Election, unless specifically stated in this Agreement to be otherwise, all determinations of (x) compliance with any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Net Leverage Ratio test and/or Fixed Coverage Ratio Test) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of TTM EBITDA, (y) any representation and warranties, or any requirement regarding the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) or (z) any availability test under any “baskets” shall be made as of the applicable date of the consummation of the Specified Transaction.

1.5.2 Subject to Section 1.5.1, for purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that by the terms of the Loan Documents requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including the Net Leverage Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the amount of EBITDA, TTM EBITDA or Consolidated Net Income), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such

transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, for the applicable Test Period, and no Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.

1.6 Time References. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, all references to time of day refer to Pacific standard time or Pacific daylight saving time, as in effect in Los Angeles, California on such day. For purposes of the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to and including”; provided that, with respect to a computation of fees or interest payable to Agent or any Lender, such period shall in any event consist of at least one full day.

For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

1.8 Deliveries. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, whenever any financial statement required to be delivered under Section 10.1.2(a), Section 10.1.2(c) or the last paragraph of Section 10.1.2 is required to be delivered, made or completed on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

1.9 Pro Forma and Other Calculations

1.9.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and subject to Section 1.5, financial ratios and tests (including measurements of EBITDA, TTM EBITDA, Net Leverage Ratio, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (and to the extent necessary the component parts of such definitions)), shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.9. Further, with respect to any pro forma calculations to be made in connection with any Acquisition or other Investment in respect of which financial statements for the relevant target are not available for the same Test Period for which financial statements of the Borrowers are available, the Borrower Agent shall determine such pro forma calculations on the basis of the available financial statements (even if for differing periods) or such other basis as determined on a commercially reasonable basis by the Borrower Agent.

1.9.2 For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test (including EBITDA, TTM EBITDA, the Net Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (and to the extent necessary the component parts of such definitions)), Specified Transactions (with any incurrence or refinancing of Debt in connection therewith to be subject to Section 1.9.4 below) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) other than respect to the calculation of any Financial Covenant, subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), shall be

calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in EBITDA and TTM EBITDA and the respective component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of “unrestricted” cash and Cash Equivalents, on the last day of the applicable Test Period). If, since the beginning of any applicable Test Period, any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into Intermediate Holdco, the Borrower Agent or any of its Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.9, then such financial ratio or test (including EBITDA and TTM EBITDA) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.9; provided that, with respect to any pro forma calculations to be made in connection with any acquisition or Investment in respect of which financial statements for the relevant target are not available for the same Test Period for which financial statements of Intermediate Holdco are available, the Borrower Agent shall determine such pro forma calculations on the basis of the available financial statements (even if for differing periods) or such other basis as determined on a commercially reasonable basis by the Borrower Agent.

1.9.3 Whenever pro forma effect or a determination of pro forma compliance is to be given to a Specified Transaction (which, may have been undertaken or implemented prior to the consummation of the applicable transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, prior the Closing Date)), the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by the Borrower Agent and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any “run rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating improvements, revenue synergies and other synergies related to such Specified Transaction that are projected by the Borrower Agent in good faith to result from actions either taken or expected to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Borrower Agent) (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating improvements, revenue synergies or other synergies had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period, and “run rate” means the full recurring projected benefit (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of Public Company Costs) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such Test Period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of any financial ratio or test and during any applicable subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized relating to such Specified Transaction, and any such adjustment included in the initial pro forma calculations shall continue to apply to subsequent calculations of such financial ratio or test, including during any subsequent Test Periods in which the effects thereof are expected to be realizable; provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable (in the good faith determination of the Borrower Agent) and (B) no amounts shall be added back pursuant to this Section 1.9.3 to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing EBITDA (or any other component thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such Test Period and (C) that the aggregate amount of all addbacks pursuant to clause (xv)(x) of the definition of EBITDA, together with the aggregate amount of “run rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating improvements or other synergies (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any revenue synergies resulting from or related to new contracts or projects, increased pricing or volume in existing contracts and projects and other contract and project initiatives) increasing EBITDA pursuant to this Section 1.9.3 in such period, shall not exceed 25% of the EBITDA in any four consecutive Fiscal Quarter period (calculated after giving effect to all addbacks and adjustments) (but excluding from such amount addbacks and adjustments to the extent arising from or relating to any adjustment pursuant to clause (xviii) of the definition of EBITDA).

1.9.4 In the event that Intermediate Holdco, the Borrower Agent or any Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantee) or refinances (including by redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Debt, as in the calculations of any financial ratio or test, (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or refinancing of Debt (including pro forma effect to the application of the net proceeds therefrom), in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period.

1.9.5 Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Senior Officer of Borrower Agent. Interest on Debt that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a SOFR rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as Intermediate Holdco, the Borrower Agent or applicable Subsidiary may designate.

1.9.6 For the avoidance of doubt, any such pro forma calculation may include, without limitation, all adjustments of the type described in clauses (xv), (xvi) and (xviii) of the definition of “EBITDA” to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such Test Period.

Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, or an increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.

2.1.5 Overadvances. If the aggregate Revolver Loans exceed the Borrowing Base (“Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Borrowers within one (1) Business Day of request by Agent, but all such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. Agent may require Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required), and (ii) the Overadvance is not known by Agent to exceed 5% of the Borrowing Base; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (i) shall not be increased to an amount in excess of 5% of the Borrowing Base, and (ii) does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause the outstanding Revolver Loans and LC Obligations to exceed the aggregate Revolver Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by Agent or Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authority to make further Overadvances by written notice to Agent.

Absent such revocation, Agent’s determination that funding of an Overadvance or permitting an Overadvance is appropriate shall be conclusive. In no event shall any Borrower or other Obligor be deemed a beneficiary of this Section 2.1.5 nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

2.1.6 Protective Advances. Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, at any time that any conditions in Section 6 are not satisfied to make Adjusted Base Rate Revolver Loans (“Protective Advances”) (a) up to an aggregate amount of 5% of the Borrowing Base outstanding at any time, if Agent deems such Loans reasonably necessary or reasonably desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to enhance the collectability or repayment of Obligations, as long as such Loans do not cause the outstanding Revolver Loans and LC Obligations to exceed the aggregate Revolver Commitments; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Obligors under any Loan Documents, including interest, costs, fees and expenses. Each Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis. Required Xxxxxxx may at any time revoke Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances under clause (a) by written notice to Agent. Absent such revocation, Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. In no event shall any Borrower or other Obligor be deemed a beneficiary of this Section 2.1.6 nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

2.1.7 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Borrowers may request (i) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolver Commitments (an “Incremental Revolver Commitment”) and/or existing DDTL Commitments (an “Incremental DDTL Commitment”) and/or (ii) one or more new commitments of Term Loans which may be of the same class as any existing Term Loans (an “Incremental Term Loan Increase”) or a new class of term loans (together with any Incremental Term Loan Increase, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments” and, collectively with any Incremental Revolver Commitment and any Incremental DDTL Commitment, the “Incremental Commitments”), from time to time upon notice to Agent, as long as (a) the requested increase is in a minimum amount equal to the lesser of (i) $10,000,000, or (ii) the balance of the amount available under clause (c) of this Section, (b) the Incremental Commitments are offered on the same terms as the existing Commitments, as applicable, except for fees which shall be determined by the Borrowers and the applicable Lenders, (c) from and after the Closing Date, Incremental Commitments do not exceed $400,000,000 in the aggregate, (d) with respect to any Incremental Revolver Commitment, no reduction in Revolver Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1.4 has occurred prior to the requested increase, (e) no Default or Event of Default shall exist immediately before and after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such proposed Incremental Commitments, (f) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to any increase in Incremental Commitments, Borrowers’ Net Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 6.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis, (g) delivery of customary legal opinions if reasonably requested by the Lenders providing such increase, (h) the representations and warranties of the Obligors in the Loan Documentation being true and correct in all material respects (other than (i) with respect to any representations and warranties that are made as of an earlier date which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (ii) any such representations or warranties qualified by materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language which shall be accurate in all respects after giving effect to such qualification) and (i) any Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be

subject to FIRREA compliance as determined by Agent; provided, however, in the case of any Incremental Commitments the proceeds of which will be applied to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, (x) the condition set forth in clause (e) above shall be limited to no Event of Default under Section 11.1(a) or Section 11.1(j) existing on and as of the date of effectiveness of such increase in Incremental Commitments, immediately after giving effect to such increase in Incremental Commitments, (y) the condition set forth in clause (h) above shall be limited to (1) Specified Representations being true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of effectiveness of such increase in Incremental Commitments; provided that to the extent such Specified Representations expressly relate to an earlier date, such Specified Representations shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (2) Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations (if applicable) being true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects for such Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations are subject to materiality qualifiers) on and as of the date of effectiveness of such increase in Incremental Commitments; provided that, to the extent such Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations (if applicable) expressly relate to an earlier date, such Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations (if applicable) shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects for such Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations are subject to materiality qualifiers) as of such earlier date but, in each case, only to the extent that the Borrowers have (or their applicable affiliate has) the right to terminate (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) their (or its) obligations under such acquisition agreement or the right to decline to consummate the applicable Acquisition, in each case, pursuant to the terms of such acquisition agreement, as a result of a breach of such representations in such acquisition agreement (in each case, in accordance with the terms thereto) without any liability to the Borrowers (or it) and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, the condition set forth in clause (f) above shall be tested as of the LCT Test Date in accordance with Section 1.5.1; provided, further, that the Additional Lenders and the existing Lenders providing Incremental Commitments shall be permitted to, in connection with any Incremental Commitment the proceeds of which will be applied to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, waive (or not require the satisfaction of) in full or in part any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(b) (other than, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, the accuracy, to the extent required under Section 6.2(b), of any Specified Representations and Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations (if applicable) (as conformed to apply to such acquisition, including giving effect to any certain funds conditions with respect to the Collateral)).

(b) Agent shall promptly notify Lenders of the requested increase and, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, each Lender shall notify Agent if and to what extent such Lender commits to increase its Commitment, as applicable. Any Lender not responding within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to have declined an increase. If Lenders fail to commit to the full requested increase, the Borrower shall then have (x) the right to offer the opportunity to provide such Incremental Commitments to any other Person (subject only to any such Person being an “Eligible Assignee”) and such person may become a Lender hereunder (such Person, and “Additional Lender”) and (y) no subsequent obligation to provide the existing Lenders the opportunity to provide such Incremental Commitments, even if the terms change (as a result of negotiations or otherwise in good faith) from those originally offered. Agent may allocate, in its reasonable

discretion, the increased Commitments, as applicable, among committing existing Lenders and, if applicable, Additional Lenders. No existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Commitment. Provided that the conditions in this Section 2.1.7 and in Section 6.2 are satisfied, total Commitments, as applicable, shall be increased by the requested amount (or such lesser amount committed by existing Lenders and, if any, Additional Lenders) on a date agreed upon by Agent and Borrower Agent, but no later than 45 days following Borrowers’ increase request. Agent, Borrowers, existing Lenders and, if any, Additional Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements as Agent deems appropriate to evidence the increase in and allocations of Commitments, as applicable. On the effective date of an increase, all outstanding Revolver Loans, LC Obligations and other exposures under the Commitments, as applicable, shall be reallocated among Lenders, and settled by Agent if necessary, in accordance with Lenders’ adjusted shares of such Commitments. The terms and provisions of the incremental DDTLs and Revolver Loans will be identical to the terms and conditions applicable to the existing DDTLs and Revolver Loans, as applicable. The terms and provisions of the incremental Term Loans shall be as set forth in a joinder agreement; provided that (a) the weighted average life to maturity of any incremental Term Loan shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the existing Term Loan, (b) the final maturity date of any incremental Term Loan shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (c) incremental Term Loans shall not participate on a greater (but may participate on a lesser) than pro rata basis with the existing Term Loan in any optional or mandatory prepayment hereunder, (d) the incremental Term Loans may be unsecured or secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis, (e) the all-in-yield (including interest rate margins, any interest rate floors, original issue discount and upfront fees (based on the lesser of a four-year average life to maturity or the remaining life to maturity), but excluding reasonable and customary arrangement, commitment, structuring, amendment and underwriting fees) applicable to any incremental Term Loan in the form of broadly syndicated term loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, will not be more than 0.50% higher than the corresponding all-in yield (determined on the same basis) applicable to the then outstanding initial Term Loans , unless the interest rate margin with respect to such initial Term Loans is increased by an amount equal to the difference between the all-in yield with respect to such incremental Term Loans and the all-in-yield with respect to such initial Term Loans minus 0.50%; it being agreed that to the extent the all-in yield with respect to such incremental Term Loan is greater than such all-in yield with respect to such initial Term Loans solely as a result of a higher interest rate floor, then the interest rate margin increase shall be effectuated solely by increasing the interest rate floor on such initial Term Loans and (f) all other terms of the incremental Term Loans, if not consistent with the terms of the existing Term Loan, must be reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

2.2 Term Loan Commitment.

2.2.1 Term Loan. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Prior Tranche One Term Loans, Prior Tranche Two Term Loans and Prior Capital Expenditure Loans, in each case, incurred under the Prior Agreement is equal to $112,445,143.29 and (ii) upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the aggregate outstanding Prior Tranche One Term Loans, the aggregate outstanding Prior Tranche Two Term Loans and the aggregate

outstanding Prior Capital Expenditure Loans, in each case, under the Prior Agreement are hereby deemed to have been, and hereby are, converted into outstanding Term Loans under this Agreement in like amount without constituting a novation, subject to reallocation among the Lenders holding a Term Loan Commitment in accordance with Section 4.9 (this clause (ii), the “Term Rollover Provision”) Further, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment under this Agreement agrees, severally on a pro rata basis up to its Term Loan Commitment, on the terms set forth herein, to make an additional Term Loan to Borrowers on the Closing Date. The Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall expire upon the funding by Lenders of the Term Loan. Once repaid, whether such repayment is voluntary or required, the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

2.2.2 Term Notes. The Term Loan made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such Lender. At the request of any Lender, Borrowers shall deliver to such Lender a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.2.2 evidencing its Term Loan.

2.2.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Term Loan shall be used by Borrowers solely (i) to consummate the Refinancing; (ii) to pay the Transaction Costs; and (iii) for lawful corporate purposes of Borrowers.

2.3 DDTL Commitment.

2.3.1 DDTLs. Each Lender agrees, severally on a Pro Rata DDTL basis up to its DDTL Commitment, on the terms set forth herein, to make delayed draw term loans (collectively, “DDTLs” and each a “DDTL”) to Borrowers from time to time from the Closing Date through the DDTL Commitment Termination Date.

2.3.2 Additional Conditions on DDTLs. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 6, no Lender shall have an obligation to make a DDTL if:

(a) the principal amount of the requested DDTL would exceed either (i) for the new Eligible Equipment to be purchased with the proceeds of such DDTL, (x) 100% of the appraised NOLV of Borrowers’ owned Eligible Equipment or, (y) 100% of the invoice price (of which, not more than 20% can constitute sales taxes, delivery charges and other “soft” costs related to such purchase) of the new Eligible Equipment to be purchased with the proceeds of such DDTL or (ii) for new Real Estate (including vineyards) to be purchased with the proceeds of such DDTL, 75% of appraised “as is” fair market value of the new Real Estate (including vineyards) to be purchased with the proceeds of such DDTL;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such requested DDTL, the aggregate amount of the outstanding DDTLs would exceed the DDTL Commitment;

(c) in the case of an Eligible Equipment purchase, the documents required to be delivered to Agent pursuant to clause (g) of the definition of Eligible Equipment either (i) have not been delivered to Agent five (5) Business Days prior to the date that the Notice of Borrowing requesting such DDTL has been delivered to Agent, or (ii) are not in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent; and

(d) in the case of a Real Estate purchase, the Borrowers have not delivered to Agent five (5) Business Days prior to the date that the Notice of Borrowing requesting such DDTL (i) an executed Mortgage in recordable form sufficient to create a first priority Lien in favor of Agent on such Real Estate subject to Permitted Liens, or (ii) all Related Real Estate Documents with respect to such Real Estate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

2.3.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of DDTLs shall be used by Borrowers solely to (i) finance any Permitted Acquisition or any other Investment not prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents, (ii) finance any Capital Expenditure (including any Equipment or Real Estate (including vineyards)), (iii) pay fees, costs and expenses in connection with the purposes described in clauses (i) and (ii) above and (iv) repay Revolver Loans or replenish cash on the balance sheet of the Obligors, in each case, used for the purposes described in the preceding clauses (i)-(iii).

2.3.4 DDTL Note. The DDTLs made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such Lender. At the request of any Lender, Borrowers shall deliver to such Lender a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.3.4 evidencing its DDTLs.

2.3.5 Voluntary Reduction or Termination of DDTL Commitment.

(a) The DDTL Commitment shall terminate on the DDTL Commitment Termination Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Upon prior written notice to Agent at any time, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the DDTL Commitments. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable (but may be conditional). On or prior to the date on which the DDTL Commitments are terminated, Borrowers shall make Full Payment of the outstanding DDTLs and all other Obligations in connection therewith.

(b) Borrowers may permanently reduce the DDTL Commitment, on a Pro Rata DDTL basis for each Lender, without penalty or premium, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.9, upon prior written notice to Agent delivered at any time, which notice shall specify the amount of the reduction and shall be irrevocable (but may be conditional). Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, or an increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.

2.4 Letter of Credit Facility.

2.4.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit. Issuing Bank shall issue Letters of Credit from time to time (or until the Revolver Commitment Termination Date), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank’s issuance of any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Issuing Bank’s receipt of a LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) Issuing Bank receives a LC

Request and LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender exists, Borrower or such Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Issuing Bank to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender. If, in sufficient time to act, Issuing Bank receives written notice from Required Lenders that a LC Condition has not been satisfied, Issuing Bank shall not issue the requested Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn in writing by the Required Lenders or until Required Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions.

(b) Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower to support obligations incurred for proper corporate purposes, or as otherwise approved by Agent. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new LC Application shall be required at the discretion of Issuing Bank.

(c) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter of Credit, none of Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon (so long as they appear on their face to comply with the Letter of Credit); the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank, Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit. In the event of a conflict between the terms of any LC Application and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.4.2 Reimbursement; Participations.

(a) If Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank, on the same day (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit and, to the extent not paid by Borrowers on the Reimbursement Date, such amount shall automatically be converted to a Revolver Loan and accrue interest at the Adjusted Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from the Reimbursement Date until paid by Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Adjusted Base Rate Revolver Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all LC Obligations relating to the Letter of Credit. If Issuing Bank makes any payment under a Letter of Credit and Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and each Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, the Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Lender, Issuing Bank shall furnish copies of any Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c) The obligation of each Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of Issuing Bank in connection with Issuing Bank’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Obligor may have with respect to any Obligations. Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents. Issuing Bank does not make to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, LC Documents or any Obligor. Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor.

(d) No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Letter of Credit or LC Document except as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Issuing Bank may refrain from taking any action with respect to a Letter of Credit until it receives written instructions from Required Lenders.

2.4.3 Cash Collateral. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default has occurred and the Obligations have been accelerated and/or the Commitments have been terminated, (b) after the Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (c) within 5 Business Days prior to the Revolver Termination Date then Borrowers shall, at Issuing Bank’s or Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and pay to Issuing Bank the amount of all other LC Obligations. Borrowers shall, if notified by 10:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) by Issuing Bank or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of any Defaulting Lender on the same Business Day (and otherwise on the Business Day following receipt of such notification). If Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6.2 are satisfied).

2.4.4 Resignation of Issuing Bank. Issuing Bank may resign at any time upon notice to Agent and Borrowers. On and after the effective date of such resignation, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Letter of Credit, but shall continue to have all rights and other obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder relating to any Letter of Credit issued by it prior to such date. Agent shall promptly appoint a replacement Issuing Bank, which, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrowers.

2.4.5 Existing Letters of Credit. On and after the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit, if any, shall be deemed for all purposes, including for purposes of the fees to be collected pursuant to Section 3.2.2 and reimbursement of costs and expenses to the extent provided herein, Letters of Credit outstanding under the LC Sublimit and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall be governed by the LC Documents pertaining thereto and by this Agreement.

SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

3.1 Interest.

3.1.1 Rates and Payment of Interest.

(a) The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if an Adjusted Base Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a

SOFR Loan, at Adjusted Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) if any other Obligation (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Adjusted Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for Adjusted Base Rate Revolver Loans.

(b) During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower or the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 11.1(a), Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment). Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is fair and reasonable compensation for this. Interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

(c) Interest shall accrue from the date a Loan is advanced or Obligation is incurred or payable, until Full Payment of the Obligations. If a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day’s interest shall accrue. Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans (other than Revolver Loans) being prepaid; and (iii) on the DDTL Maturity Date, the Revolver Termination Date or Term Loan Maturity Date. Interest accrued on SOFR Loans shall be due and payable in arrears on the last day of the Interest Period; provided that if any Interest Period exceeds three months, interest shall be due and payable every three months after the beginning of such Interest Period.

3.1.2 Application of SOFR to Outstanding Loans.

(a) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, elect to convert any portion of the Adjusted Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any SOFR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a SOFR Loan. During any Default or Event of Default, Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required Lenders) declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as a SOFR Loan.

(b) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as SOFR Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) at least three Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date. Promptly after receiving any such notice, Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified). If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any SOFR Loans, Borrowers shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, they shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loans into Adjusted Base Rate Loans.

3.1.3 Interest Periods. In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any SOFR Loans, Borrowers shall select an interest period (“Interest Period”) to apply, which interest period shall be one (1), three (3) or six (6) months; provided, however, that:

(a) the Interest Period shall begin on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or converted into, a SOFR Loan, and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;

(b) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is no corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such month; and if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the next Business Day;

(c) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Revolver Termination Date; and no Interest Period for a SOFR Term Loan may be established that would require repayment before the end of an Interest Period in order to make any scheduled principal payment on the Term Loan; and

(d) with respect to SOFR Loans, (i) Agent shall determine SOFR at the beginning of any Interest Period and such SOFR rate shall be fixed for such Interest Period, (ii) interest shall be paid at the end of an Interest Period, or in the case of Interest Periods greater than three (3) months, interest shall be paid at the end of each three (3) month period.

3.1.4 Interest Rate Not Ascertainable.

(a) Subject to Section 3.1.4(b), in the event, prior to commencement of any Interest Period relating to a SOFR Loan, the Agent shall determine or be notified by Required Lenders that: (A) Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, (B) SOFR, Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding their SOFR Loans for such Interest Period, or (C) the making or funding of SOFR Loans has become impracticable; then, in any such case, the Agent shall promptly provide notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders (which shall be conclusive and binding on them), and (x) any request for a SOFR Loan or for a conversion to or continuation of a SOFR Loan shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for an Adjusted Base Rate Loan, (y) each SOFR Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating thereto, become an Adjusted Base Rate Loan, and (z) the obligations of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, in which event the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders; provided, however, that, in each case, the Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing with respect to a Borrowing of SOFR Loans that is pending when such notice is received.

(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision herein to the contrary, the provisions on Annex 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein shall apply to interest rates under this Agreement, as applicable.

3.1.5 Rates. The Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to Adjusted Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate,

Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any benchmark replacement determined pursuant to Annex 1 attached hereto), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any such benchmark replacement rate) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Adjusted Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark (as defined in Annex 1) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes (as defined in Annex 1). The Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions unrelated to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that affect the calculation of Adjusted Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any such benchmark replacement rate) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this sentence shall modify or supersede the express terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 14)). The Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain Adjusted Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any other benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

3.2 Fees.

3.2.1 Unused Line Fee for Revolver Loans. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders that have Revolver Commitments, a fee equal to the Unused Line Fee Rate in effect times the amount by which the Revolver Commitments exceed the average daily balance of Revolver Loans (excluding Swingline Loans) and stated amount of Letters of Credit during any month. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and on the Revolver Commitment Termination Date.

3.2.2 LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall pay (a) to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders with LC Obligations, a fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for SOFR Revolver Loans times the average daily stated amount of Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter; (b) to Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the stated amount of each Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable on the date of issuance; and (c) to Issuing Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred. At such time as the Obligations accrue interest at the Default Rate under Section 3.1.1(b), and without duplication of such increase, the fee payable under clause (a) shall be increased by 2% per annum.

3.2.3 Unused Line Fee for DDTLs. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders that have DDTL Commitments, a per annum fee equal to 0.15% of the

amount by which the DDTL Commitments exceed the average daily balance of DDTLs during any month. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and on the DDTL Commitment Termination Date.

3.2.4 Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay all fees set forth in the Fee Letter executed in connection with this Agreement.

3.3 Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days with respect to SOFR Loans, and 365 days with respect to Adjusted Base Rate Loans. Each determination by Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.10, submitted to Borrower Agent by Agent or the affected Lender, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 days following receipt of the certificate.

3.4 Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for all Extraordinary Expenses. Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses actually incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Agent’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral; and (c) subject to the limits of Section 10.1.1(b), each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral, prepared by a third party. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting on financial statements or a Compliance Certificate), it is reasonably determined prior to Full Payment of all of the Obligations that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then, following Agent’s consultation with Borrower, the proper Applicable Margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall within three (3) Business Days of request, pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper Applicable Margin and the amount actually paid. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 3.4 shall be due within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Borrower Agent of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expense in reasonable detail (other than with respect to fees and expenses accrued through the Closing Date, which shall be paid (a) on the Closing Date if such documentation reasonably supporting such fees and expenses is provided within three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, or (b) within three (3) Business Days after delivery of such supporting documentation if not timely delivered before the Closing Date). All such reimbursement obligations, including Extraordinary Expenses, shall be limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel to Agent, plus, if reasonably necessary, one primary counsel to the Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, plus, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction which, in each case, shall exclude allocated costs of in-house counsel and, in the case of other consultants and advisers, to the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such Person.

3.5 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund SOFR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue SOFR Loans or to convert Adjusted Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended until such Xxxxxx notifies Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrowers shall prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans of such Lender to Adjusted Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.6 Inability to Determine Rates. If Required Lenders notify Agent for any reason in connection with a request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, a SOFR Loan that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining Adjusted Term SOFR for the requested Interest Period, or (c) Adjusted Term SOFR for the requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then Agent will promptly so notify Borrower Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain SOFR Loans shall be suspended until Agent (upon instruction by Required Lenders) withdraws such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a SOFR Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have submitted a request for an Adjusted Base Rate Loan.

3.7 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

3.7.1 Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, 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 (except any reserve requirement reflected in calculating SOFR) or Issuing Bank;

(b) subject any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Taxes described in clause (a) of the definition of Excluded Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profit Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(c) impose on any Lender, Issuing Bank or interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Tax) affecting any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of Credit, participation in LC Obligations, or Commitment;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or Commitment, or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after written demand of such Lender or Issuing Bank (which shall set forth in reasonable detail the amount(s) due and the basis therefor), Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

3.7.2 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’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, Issuing Bank’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations, to a level below that which such Lender, Issuing Bank or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s and holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time upon receipt in reasonable detail (which detail shall not include any confidential or price sensitive information or any other information to the extent prohibited by law) of the amounts due and the basis therefor, Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

3.7.3 Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7.3 shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that the Lender or Issuing Bank notifies Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’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 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.8 Mitigation. If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts with respect to a Lender under Section 5.10, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or unlawful. Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.9 Funding Losses. If for any reason (other than default by a Lender) (a) any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, a SOFR Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of a SOFR Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, (c) Borrowers fail to repay a SOFR Loan when required hereunder, or (d) a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) is required to assign a SOFR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period pursuant to Section 13.4, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Lender all resulting losses and expenses, excluding loss of anticipated profits, but including any loss or expense arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds.

3.10 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (“maximum rate”). If Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

3.11 Replacement Lender. Borrower Agent may obtain, at Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for a Lender seeking payment or compensation under Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.10 of this Agreement (or that is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”)), which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent and the Issuing Bank. In the event Borrower Agent obtains a Replacement Lender that will purchase all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and assume its Revolver Commitment hereunder within ninety (90) days following notice to Agent and the Affected Lender of Borrower Agent’s intention to do so (the “Replacement Notice”), the Affected Lender shall sell and assign its Loans, Revolver Commitment and DDTL Commitment, without recourse, to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3; provided that, (a) Borrower Agent and Issuing Bank shall have consented thereto in writing, (b) such assignment will in fact result in a reduction in such compensation and payment then payable to the Affected Lender, (c) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws or regulations, (d) (i) Borrowers or the Replacement Lender have reimbursed such Affected Lender for any administrative fee payable by such Affected Lender to Agent pursuant to Section 13.3 and (ii) in any case where such replacement occurs as the result of a demand for payment of certain costs or Taxes pursuant to Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.10, Borrowers have paid all increased costs for and Taxes to which such Affected Lender is entitled to under such Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.10 through the date of such sale and assignment; provided, further, that, each Replacement Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee. Such Affected Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents through the date of assignment. An

Affected Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, on or before sixty (60) days after Agent’s and the Affected Xxxxxx’s receipt of the Replacement Notice, as a result of a waiver by such Affected Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower Agent to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 3.11 shall limit or impair (A) any rights that any Borrower or Agent may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender or (B) Agent’s rights to replace a Lender in accordance with Section 13.4.

SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1 Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans and DDTLs.

4.1.1 Notice of Borrowing – Revolver Loans.

(a) Whenever Borrowers desire funding of a Borrowing of Revolver Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) (i) at least one Business Day prior to the requested funding date, in the case of Adjusted Base Rate Loans (or on the requested funding date in the case of Adjusted Base Rate Loans to be made on the Closing Date), and (ii) at least three Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of SOFR Loans (or on the requested funding date in the case of Adjusted Base Rate Loans to be converted to SOFR Loans on the Closing Date). Notices received after 11:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as Adjusted Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans, and (D) in the case of SOFR Loans, the duration of the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one (1) month if not specified).

(b) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and Secured Bank Product Obligations but excluding Obligations other than principal, interest, scheduled fees and LC Obligations, which are being disputed by written notice to Agent and in good faith by Borrower and are not more than thirty (30) days past due) shall be deemed to be a request for Adjusted Base Rate Revolver Loans on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation. In addition, Agent may, at its option, charge such Obligations against any operating, investment or other account of a Borrower maintained with Agent or any of its Affiliates.

(c) If Borrowers maintain any disbursement account with Agent or any Affiliate of Agent, then presentation for payment of any Payment Item when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for an Adjusted Base Rate Revolver Loan on the date of such presentation, in the amount of the Payment Item. The proceeds of such Revolver Loan may be disbursed directly to the disbursement account.

4.1.2 Notice of Borrowing – DDTLs. Subject to Section 2.3.2, whenever Borrowers desire funding of DDTLs, Borrower Agent shall give Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) (i) at least one Business

Day prior to the requested funding date, in the case of Adjusted Base Rate Loans (or on the requested funding date in the case of Adjusted Base Rate Loans to be made on the Closing Date), and (ii) at least three Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of SOFR Loans (or on the requested funding date in the case of Adjusted Base Rate Loans to be converted to SOFR Loans on the Closing Date). Notices received after such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as an Adjusted Base Rate Loan or SOFR Loan, and (D) in the case of a SOFR Loan, the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one (1) month if not specified).

4.1.3 Fundings by Xxxxxxx. Each Lender shall timely honor its Revolver Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans that is properly requested hereunder. Except for Borrowings to be made as Swingline Loans, Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 12:00 noon (Los Angeles time) on the date prior to the proposed funding date for Adjusted Base Rate Loans or by 3:00 p.m. (Los Angeles time) at least three Business Days before any proposed funding of SOFR Loans. Each Lender shall fund to Agent such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by Agent in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (Los Angeles time) on the requested funding date, unless Agent’s notice is received after the times provided above, in which case Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by 11:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Revolver Loans as directed by Borrower Agent. Unless Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent, and Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers. If a Lender’s share of any Borrowing or of any settlement pursuant to Section 4.1.4(b) is not received by Agent, then Borrowers agree to repay to Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to the Borrowing.

4.1.4 Swingline Loans; Settlement.

(a) Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, advance Swingline Loans to Borrowers, up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $20,000,000, unless the funding is specifically required to be made by all Lenders hereunder. Each Swingline Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to Agent for its own account and shall accrue at the interest rate for Adjusted Base Rate for Revolver Loans (minus the Unused Line Fee Rate) from the date made until payment by Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to repay Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and need not be evidenced by any promissory note.

(b) Settlement of Swingline Loans and other Revolver Loans among Lenders and Agent shall take place on a date determined from time to time by Agent (but at least weekly), on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Agent to Lenders. Between settlement dates, Agent may in its reasonable discretion apply payments on Revolver Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by Borrower or any provision

herein to the contrary. Each Lender’s obligation to make settlements with Agent is absolute and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to a Borrower or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be settled among Lenders hereunder, then each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from Agent a Pro Rata participation in such Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to Agent, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after Agent’s request therefor.

4.1.5 Notices. Borrowers may request, convert or continue Loans, select interest rates and transfer funds based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions to Agent. Borrowers shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Agent a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs materially from the action taken by Agent or Lenders, the records of Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Borrower’s behalf.

4.2 Defaulting Lender.

4.2.1 Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations to fund or participate in Loans or Letters of Credit, Agent may exclude the Commitments and Loans of any Defaulting Lender(s) from the calculation of Pro Rata shares. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 14.1.1(c).

4.2.2 Payments; Fees. Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to Agent such amounts until Full Payment of the Obligations owing to Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties. Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, or readvance the amounts to Borrowers hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fees under Section 3.2.1 and 3.2.3. If any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Section 3.2.2 shall be paid to such Lenders. Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not reallocated.

4.2.3 Cure. Borrowers, Agent and Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Xxxxxx’s Commitments and Loans, and all outstanding Revolver Loans, LC Obligations and other exposures under the Revolver Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares. Unless expressly agreed by Xxxxxxxxx, Agent and Issuing Bank, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

4.3 Number and Amount of SOFR Loans; Determination of Rate. Each Borrowing of SOFR Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, plus any increment of $500,000 in excess thereof. No more than 15 Borrowings of SOFR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all SOFR Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose. Upon determining Adjusted Term SOFR for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by Xxxxxxxxx, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

4.4 Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby designates Borrower Agent as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base Certificates and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender. Borrower Agent xxxxxx accepts such appointment. Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. Agent and Xxxxxxx may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Xxxxxxxx. Each of Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

4.5 One Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and are secured by Agent’s Lien on all Collateral; provided, however, that Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.

4.6 Effect of Termination. On the effective date of the termination of all Commitments, the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and any Lender may terminate its and its Affiliates’ Bank Products (including, only with the consent of Agent, any Cash Management Services). Until Full Payment of the Obligations, all undertakings of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall continue, and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens unless it receives Cash Collateral or a written agreement, in each case reasonably satisfactory to it, protecting Agent and Lenders from the dishonor or return of any Payment Items previously applied to the Obligations. Sections 2.4, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.10, 14.2, this Section, and each indemnity or waiver given by an Obligor or Lender in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations.

4.7 Exiting Lenders. Immediately prior to the Closing Date, each Exiting Lender has the commitments set forth on Schedule 1.1 of the Prior Agreement (the “Exiting Lender Commitments”). On the Closing Date, each Exiting Lender (if any) will receive payment in cash in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Exiting Lender’s Prior Loans, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (iii) any and all other Obligations (as defined in the Prior Loan Agreement) due and owing to such Exiting Lender under the Prior Agreement on the Closing Date (excluding any contingent indemnification or expense reimbursement obligations or which no claim has been asserted) (with respect to each Exiting Lender, collectively, its “Payoff Amount”). Each Exiting Lender represents and warrants to the Agent and the Borrowers that its (i) final Payoff Amount as of the Closing Date is as set forth on Schedule 1.1 attached hereto under the heading “Payoff Amounts” and (ii) the Payoff Amount should be sent to it using its wire transfer instructions currently on file with the Agent. Upon receipt by each Exiting Lender of its Payoff Amount, its Exiting Lender Commitments and all of its Prior Loans shall immediately and automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect, each Exiting Lender shall have no further obligation to make Prior Loans or otherwise extend credit to the Borrowers under the Prior Agreement, and each Exiting Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” under the Loan Documents. A wire confirmation and federal reference number shall be conclusive evidence that each Exiting Lender has received its respective Payoff Amount, absent manifest error.

4.8 Existing Lenders. Immediately prior to the Closing Date, each Existing Lender (other than any Exiting Lender) has the commitments set forth on Schedule 1.1 of the Prior Agreement (the “Existing Lender Commitments”). Each Existing Lender agrees (on a several and not joint basis) that on the Closing Date, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 6.1, (i) its Existing Lender Commitments shall be of no further force and effect and (ii) instead, after giving effect to any reallocation in accordance with Section 4.9 below, its Commitments are as set forth on Schedule 1.1 under the heading “Closing Date Commitments”.

4.9 Reallocation of Loans. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that, on the Closing Date, immediately after giving effect to the Revolver Rollover Provision and Term Rollover Provision the outstanding Loans shall be adjusted by the Agent to the extent necessary (including by prepaying a portion of such outstanding Loans) such that, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereunder (including the funding of any Loans and application of the proceeds therefrom), each Lender shall hold its pro rata share of the outstanding Loans. As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to any reallocation in accordance with this Section 4.9, each Lender’s Commitments are as set forth on Schedule 1.1 attached hereto under the heading “Closing Date Commitments”.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS

5.1 General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, and subject to Section 5.10, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon (Los Angeles time) on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Borrower Agent on behalf of Xxxxxxxxx, may, at the time of payment, specify to Agent the Obligations to which such payment is to be applied, but Agent shall in all events retain the right to apply such payment in such manner as Agent, subject to the provisions

hereof, may determine to be appropriate. If any payment under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in any computation of interest and fees. Any payment of a SOFR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.9. Any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Adjusted Base Rate Loans and then to SOFR Loans (unless otherwise requested by the Borrowers); provided, however, that as long as no Event of Default exists, prepayments of SOFR Loans may, at the option of Borrower and Agent, be held by Agent as Cash Collateral and applied to such Loans at the end of their Interest Periods.

5.2 Repayment of Revolver Loans. Revolver Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Revolver Termination Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder. Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.9.

5.3 Repayment of Term Loan and DDTLs.

5.3.1 Payment of Principal on the Term Loan. The principal amount of the Term Loan shall be repaid on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, in equal quarterly installments of $2,430,353.57, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ending April 30, 2023 and ending on the Term Loan Maturity Date, on which date all principal, interest and other amounts owing with respect to the Term Loan shall be due and payable in full. Each installment shall be paid to Agent for the pro rata benefit of Lenders. Once repaid, whether such repayment is voluntary or required, the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

5.3.2 Payment of Principal on DDTLs. Commencing on the first day of the Fiscal Quarter following each DDTL Semi-Annual Period and continuing until the DDTL Maturity Date (on which date all principal, interest and other amounts owing with respect to such DDTLs shall be due and payable in full), the principal amount of all DDTLs disbursed in the immediately preceding DDTL Semi-Annual Period shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments, each of which shall be in an amount equal to (a) the original principal amount of such DDTLs, times (b)(i) in respect of DDTLs used to purchase or finance Eligible Equipment, 1/28^th, and (ii) in respect of DDTLs used to purchase any Real Estate, 1/100^th. Each installment shall be paid to Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders having DDTL Commitments or DDTLs. Once repaid, whether such repayment is voluntary or required, such DDTLs may not be reborrowed.

Borrowers may, at their option from time to time, prepay in whole or in part the Term Loan or DDTLs, without penalty or premium, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.9. Borrower Agent shall give written notice to Agent of an intended prepayment of the Term Loan or DDTLs, which notice shall specify the amount of the prepayment, shall be irrevocable once given, shall be given at least two (2) Business Days prior to such prepayment, provided that a notice of prepayment of the Term Loan or DDTLs delivered by the Borrower Agent may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of another credit facility or other transaction.

After the Reinvestment Period has expired, to the extent not reinvested in accordance with this Section 5.4.2, such Net Proceeds shall be applied as follows:

(a) any mandatory prepayments made hereunder related solely to the Exclusive Revolver Loan/Letter of Credit Collateral (including without limitation any casualty or condemnation related thereto), shall be applied:

(i) FIRST, to the then-outstanding principal balance of Revolver Loans pro rata (without a permanent reduction of the Revolver Commitments), unless at such time of repayment, the Borrowers provide a Borrowing Base Certificate and is in compliance with the Borrowing Base at such time; provided, that to the extent the outstanding Revolver Loans include Adjusted Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans, the mandatory prepayments shall first be applied to the Adjusted Base Rate Loans and remaining balance shall be held as cash collateral in Cash Collateral Account until the end of the Interest Periods applicable to such outstanding SOFR Loans and then shall be applied to such SOFR Loans,

(ii) SECOND, to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent the undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit exceed the Borrowing Base,

(iii) THIRD, to the then-outstanding principal balance of Term Loans and DDTLs pro rata provided, that to the extent the outstanding Term Loans and DDTLs include Adjusted Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans, the mandatory prepayments shall first be applied to the Adjusted Base Rate Loans and remaining balance shall be held as cash collateral in Cash Collateral Account until the end of the Interest Periods applicable to such outstanding SOFR Loans and then shall be applied to such SOFR Loans; and

(iv) LAST, to all remaining Obligations.

(b) any mandatory prepayments made hereunder related solely to Primary Term Loan and DDTL Collateral (including without limitation any casualty or condemnation related thereto), shall be applied:

(i) FIRST, to the then-outstanding principal balance of Term Loans and DDTLs, pro rata to all remaining payments; provided, that to the extent the outstanding Term Loans and DDTLs include Adjusted Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans, the mandatory prepayments shall first be applied to the Adjusted Base Rate Loans and remaining balance shall be held as cash collateral in Cash Collateral Account until the end of the Interest Periods applicable to such outstanding SOFR Loans and then shall be applied to such SOFR Loans,

(ii) SECOND, to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent the undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit exceed the Borrowing Base,

5.4.4 Within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of any Debt by a Borrower (other than Debt permitted under this Agreement), Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds of such Debt;

5.4.5 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the aggregate Revolver Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolver Commitments, Borrowers shall, promptly, following Agent’s notice of such occurrence, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days, prepay the outstanding Revolver Loans (or, if no such Revolver Loans are outstanding, deposit Cash Collateral in a Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 7.2.2.) in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Overadvance exists, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolver Loans to the extent required by Section 2.1.5.

5.4.6 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Term Loan Maturity Date or DDTL Maturity Date (as applicable), Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan and all DDTLs (unless sooner repaid hereunder); and

5.6 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender, or Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

5.7 Application and Allocation of Payments.

5.7.1 Application. Payments made by Borrowers hereunder shall be applied (a) first, as specifically required hereby; (b) second, to Obligations then due and owing; (c) third, to other Obligations specified by Xxxxxxxxx; and (d) fourth, as determined by Agent in its reasonable discretion.

5.7.2 Post-Default Allocation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Revolver Loans, whether arising from payments by Obligors, realization on the Exclusive Revolver Loan/Letter of Credit Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

(i) FIRST, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Agent (other than costs and expenses in respect of Secured Bank Product Obligations) incurred in connection with Revolver Loans;

(ii) SECOND, to all amounts owing to Agent on Swingline Loans;

(iii) THIRD, to all amounts owing to Issuing Bank;

(iv) FOURTH, to all Obligations constituting fees incurred in connection with Revolver Loans (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations);

(v) FIFTH, to all Revolver Loans constituting interest (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations);

(vi) SIXTH, to Cash Collateralization of LC Obligations;

(vii) SEVENTH, to all Revolver Loans, and to Secured Bank Product Obligations arising under Hedging Agreements (including Cash Collateralization thereof) up to the amount of Availability Reserves existing therefor;

(viii) EIGHTH, to all other Secured Bank Product Obligations up to the amount of Availability Reserves existing therefor;

(ix) NINTH, pro rata to the Term Loan and DDTLs to the scheduled principal installments pro rata; and

(x) LAST, to all remaining Obligations;

(b) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Term Loan and DDTLs, whether arising from payments by Obligors, realization on the Primary Term Loan and DDTL Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

(i) FIRST, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Agent incurred in connection with the Term Loan and DDTLs;

(ii) SECOND, to all Obligations constituting fees incurred in connection with the Term Loan and DDTLs;

(iii) THIRD, to the Term Loan and DDTLs constituting interest;

(iv) FOURTH, pro rata to all principal owing on the Term Loan and DDTLs (and pro rata to the scheduled principal installments of the Term Loan); and

(v) LAST, to all remaining Obligations other than Revolver Loans and LC Obligations.

provided, that any unified realization on the Exclusive Revolver Loan/Letter of Credit Collateral and Primary Term Loan and DDTL Collateral, monies to be applied to the Obligations shall be allocated based on the par value of the Exclusive Revolver Loan/Letter of Credit Collateral and the appraised value of the Primary Term Loan and DDTL Collateral. To the extent the monies received from such unified realization is less than the par value of the Exclusive Revolver Loan/Letter of Credit Collateral and the appraised value of the Primary Term Loan and DDTL Collateral, the difference (expressed as a percentage) shall be applied equally to the Exclusive Revolver Loan/Letter of Credit Collateral and the Primary Term Loan and DDTL Collateral and such monies shall be allocated accordingly;

provided, further, that amounts shall be applied to payment of each category of Obligations only after Full Payment of all preceding categories. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, Obligations in the category shall be paid on a pro rata basis. Amounts distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligation shall be calculated using the methodology reported to Agent for such Obligation (but no greater than the maximum amount reported to Agent). Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount of any Secured Bank Product Obligation and may request a reasonably detailed calculation thereof from the applicable Secured Bank Product Provider. If the provider fails to deliver the calculation within five Business Days following request, Agent may assume the amount is zero. The allocations set forth in this Section 5.7 are solely to determine the rights and priorities among Secured Parties, and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Obligor. This Section 5.7 is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Obligor, and each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds subject to this Section 5.7.

5.7.3 Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to this Section 5.7 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to Agent by such Defaulting Lender), 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) SECOND, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank hereunder;

(iii) THIRD, if so determined by Agent or requested by the Issuing Bank, to be held as Cash Collateral for future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit;

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

(v) FIFTH, if so determined by Agent and Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund future Loans, and participations in Letter of Credit under this Agreement;

(vi) SIXTH, to the payment of any amounts owing to Lenders or the Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

(vii) SEVENTH, so long as no Default or 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 Xxxxxx’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(viii) LAST, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise conferred thereunder or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;

provided, however, that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the LC Conditions were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Obligations owed to, all Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations are held by Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 5.7.2. 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 or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.7.3 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

5.7.4 Erroneous Application. Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any other Lender, such Xxxxxx hereby agrees to return it).

5.8 [Reserved].

5.9 Account Stated. The Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices account(s) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers hereunder. Any failure of Agent to record anything in a loan account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder. Entries made in a loan account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in a loan account is provided to or inspected by any Person, the information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent in writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.10 Taxes.

5.10.1 Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by Obligors of Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith of an applicable Agent) requires any Obligor or Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax (including backup withholding or withholding Tax), the withholding or deduction shall be based on information provided pursuant to Section 5.11 (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) and the Obligor or Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. If the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased so that Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received if no such withholding or deduction (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.10) had been made. Without limiting the foregoing and without duplication of other amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Section 5.10, Borrowers shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities in accordance with Applicable Law.

5.10.2 Tax Indemnification by Xxxxxxxxx. Borrowers shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 30 days after demand therefor) Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including those attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.10) withheld or deducted by any Obligor or Agent, or paid by Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank, with respect to any Obligations, Letters of Credit or Loan Documents, whether or not such Taxes were properly asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and including all penalties, interest and reasonable expenses relating thereto; provided that if the Borrower Agent reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower Agent to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which shall be repaid to the Borrowers) so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Agent or such Lender, result in any additional out-of-pocket costs or expenses not reimbursed by such Agent or Lender or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Agent or such Lender, as applicable. A certificate as to the calculations of any such payment or liability shall be delivered to Borrower Agent by Agent, or by a Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to Agent), shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower to a relevant Governmental Authority, Borrower Agent shall deliver to Agent a receipt from the Governmental Authority evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

5.10.3 Refunds. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 5.10, it shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Section 5.10 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund) to such Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expense of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Borrower, upon the request of Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund, plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed on such party by the relevant Governmental Authority, to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be

construed to require any Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person.

5.11 Lender Tax Information.

5.11.1 Status of Lenders. Each Recipient shall deliver documentation and information to Agent and Borrower Agent, at the times and in form required by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower Agent, sufficient to permit Agent or Borrowers to determine (a) whether or not payments made with respect to Obligations are subject to Taxes or information reporting requirements, (b) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (c) such Recipient’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes for such payments or otherwise to establish such Recipient’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

5.11.2 Documentation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,

(a) any Recipient that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Agent and Borrower Agent two duly signed and properly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by Applicable Law on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder, upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any previously delivered form and after the occurrence of any change in circumstance relating to the Lender requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower Agent (and from time to time thereafter upon request by Agent or Borrower Agent), in each case certifying that such Xxxxxx is entitled to receive payments hereunder without deduction or withholding of any United States federal backup withholding tax;

(b) if any Foreign Lender is entitled to any exemption from or reduction of withholding tax for payments with respect to the Obligations, it shall deliver to Agent and Borrower Agent (i) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder, (ii) upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any previously delivered form, and (iii) after the occurrence of any change in circumstances relating to the Lender requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower Agent (and from time to time thereafter upon request by Agent or Borrower, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), (a) two duly signed and properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party; (b) two duly signed and properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (c) two duly signed and properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation; (d) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, two duly signed and properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E and a certificate showing such Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Obligor within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (iii) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; or (e) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in

withholding tax, together with such supplementary documentation necessary to allow Agent and Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, including, if applicable, any documentation necessary to prevent withholding under Sections 1471 or 1472 of the Code (as of the date hereof, and any regulations promulgated thereunder and any interpretation or other guidance issued in connection therewith); and

(c) if payment of an Obligation to a Lender would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower Agent and Agent at the time(s) prescribed by Applicable Law and otherwise as reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Agent as may be necessary for them to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (c), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

(d) On or before the date the Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, the Agent shall provide to the Borrower Agent two duly-signed, properly completed copies of the documentation prescribed in clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable (together with all required attachments thereto): (i) IRS Form W-9 or any successor thereto, or (ii) (A) IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto, and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Lender, a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY or any successor thereto evidencing its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person for U.S. federal withholding purposes. At any time thereafter, the Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Borrower.

Each Lender and Agent 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, provide such successor form, or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

5.11.3 Lender Obligations. Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Borrowers and Agent of any change in circumstances that would change any claimed Tax exemption or reduction. Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after demand therefor) Borrowers and Agent for any Taxes, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by or asserted against a Borrower or Agent by any Governmental Authority due to such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s failure to deliver, or inaccuracy or deficiency in, any documentation required to be delivered by it pursuant to this Section 5.11. Each Lender and Issuing Bank authorizes Agent to set off any amounts due to Agent under this Section 5.11 against any amounts payable to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document.

5.12 Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.

5.12.1 Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Lenders the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations and all agreements under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 5.12) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any Lender with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by Agent or any Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any Lender against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of the Obligations.

5.12.2 Waivers.

(a) Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of the Obligations and waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to revoke any guaranty of any Obligations as long as it is a Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and Lenders that the provisions of this Section 5.12 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent and Xxxxxxx would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) Agent and Xxxxxxx may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or nonjudicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.12. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any

Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to Full Payment of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Xxxxxxxx’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. Agent may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure, trustee or other sale, including any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.12, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

5.12.3 Extent of Liability; Contribution.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 5.12 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount.

(b) If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 5.12 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 5.12 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.12 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Borrower’s business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.

5.12.4 Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to

their mutual advantage. Xxxxxxxxx acknowledge that Agent’s and Xxxxxxx’ willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

5.12.5 Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Obligor, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of the Obligations.

SECTION 6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

The obligation of each Lender to make any extensions of credit on the Closing Date provided for hereunder is subject to the fulfillment (or waiver by Agent and each Lender), to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent and each Lender, of each of the following conditions precedent (the making of such initial extensions of credit by a Lender being conclusively deemed to be its satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent):

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL

7.1 Grant of Security Interest.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, (i) Obligations in respect of Revolver Loans and LC Obligations issued under Revolver Commitments shall be secured by the Exclusive Revolver Loan/Letter of Credit Collateral on a senior priority basis to all other Obligations (meaning that proceeds of the Exclusive Revolver Loan/Letter of Credit Collateral shall first be applied to the Obligations in respect of Revolver Loans and LC Obligations issued under Revolver Commitments and following the Full Payment of the Obligations in respect of Revolver Loans and LC Obligations issued under Revolver Commitments, the remaining proceeds of the Exclusive Revolver Loan/Letter of Credit Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in respect of the Term Loans, DDTLs and any other outstanding Obligations), and (ii) Obligations in respect of Term Loans and DDTLs shall be secured by the Primary Term Loan and DDTL Collateral on a senior priority basis to all other Obligations (meaning that proceeds of the Primary Term Loan and DDTL Collateral shall first be applied to the Obligations in respect of Term Loan and DDTLs, pro rata, and following the Full Payment of the Obligations in respect of Term Loan and DDTLs, the remaining proceeds of the Primary Term Loan and DDTL Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in respect of the Revolver Loans and LC Obligations issued under Revolver Commitments and any other outstanding Obligations.

7.2 Lien on Deposit Accounts; Cash Collateral.

7.2.1 Deposit Accounts. To further secure the prompt payment and performance of all Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all amounts credited to any Deposit Account (other than any Excluded Account), including any sums in any blocked or lockbox accounts or in any accounts into which such sums are swept. Each Borrower hereby agrees to provide to the Agent, within ninety days (90) days (or such longer period agreed to by Agent in its Permitted Discretion) after request by the Agent, a Deposit Account Control Agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent) duly executed on behalf of each financial institution holding a Deposit Account (other than any Excluded Account or any account maintained at Bank of the West for so long as Bank of the West is the Agent hereunder). Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Bank of the West or any other applicable bank or depository institution to deliver to Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), upon request, all balances in any such Deposit Account, without inquiry into the authority or right of Agent to make such request; provided, however, that Agent agrees not to make such a request or otherwise deliver a notice of exclusive control under any Deposit Account Control Agreement unless a Trigger Period then exists. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.2.1 shall not apply to any Excluded Accounts.

7.2.2 Cash Management; Cash Dominion.

(a) Other than with respect to Excluded Accounts, each Borrower shall (i) from and after the date that is (x) ninety (90) days (or such longer period as Agent may agree in its Permitted Discretion) after the Closing Date or (y) ninety (90) days (or such longer period as Agent may agree in its Permitted Discretion) after the opening or acquisition of any Deposit Account (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Account), enter into a

Deposit Account Control Agreement with each account bank (each a “Controlled Account Bank”) at which such Deposit Account is maintained (such Deposit Account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement, a “Controlled Account”), in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and the Borrowers; (ii) from and after the date that is ninety (90) days (or such longer period as Agent may agree in its Permitted Discretion) after the Closing Date instruct all of its Account Debtors to forward payment of the amounts owed by them directly to, and otherwise deposit or cause to be deposited promptly (and in any event no later than the tenth (10th) Business Days after the date of receipt thereof) all of such Xxxxxxxx’s collections (including those sent directly by their Account Debtors to a Loan Party) into, a Controlled Account of such Borrower designated for such purpose at a Controlled Account Bank (such account, the “A/R Controlled Account”); and (iii) instruct such Controlled Account Bank at which the A/R Controlled Account is maintained to forward by ACH or wire transfer, no less frequently than daily (unless the Agent otherwise agrees in its Permitted Discretion), all amounts on deposit in such A/R Controlled Account to a concentration account maintained by and under the sole dominion and control of Agent (the “Concentration Account”).

(b) The Deposit Account Control Agreement referred to in this Section 7.2.2 shall provide (unless the Agent otherwise agrees in its Permitted Discretion), among other things, that the Controlled Account Bank will comply with any instruction (an “Activation Instruction”) originated by the Agent directing the disposition of the funds in such Controlled Account without further consent by the applicable Loan Party; provided that, the Agent agrees not to issue an Activation Instruction or other instruction with respect to any Controlled Account unless there is a Trigger Period in effect at the time such Activation Instruction or other instruction is issued; provided, further, that the Agent agrees to provide prompt notice (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) to the applicable Controlled Account Bank instructing such Controlled Account Bank that any Activation Instruction or other instruction has been rescinded (the “Rescission”) if no Trigger Period is continuing on the date of the Rescission.

(c) The Concentration Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of Agent, subject to the Borrowers’ right to use of the account as set forth in clause (d) below. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the Borrowers have no right of withdrawal from the Concentration Account to the extent a Trigger Period is in effect, (ii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall at all times be collateral security for all of the Obligations and (iii) during the continuance of any Trigger Period, the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall be applied to repay the applicable Obligations as set forth in Section 5.4.3. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.2.2, during the continuation of any Trigger Period, any Borrower receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any Cash Receipts which are not on deposit in the Concentration Account, such Cash Receipts shall be held in trust by such Borrower for Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in a Controlled Account and such amounts shall be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereto) forward by ACH or wire transfer to the Concentration Account or dealt with in such other manner as such Borrower may be reasonably instructed by Agent.

(d) Agent and the other Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that so long as no Trigger Period is continuing (or, if any Trigger Period is continuing, following the Full Payment of the Obligations), the Borrowers shall have the right to withdraw all of the funds remaining on deposit in the Concentration Account.

7.2.3 Cash Collateral. Cash Collateral may be invested in Cash Equivalents, at Agent’s discretion (and with the consent of Borrowers, as long as no Event of Default exists), but Agent shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement or course of dealing with any Borrower, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss. Each Borrower hereby grants to Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), as security for the Obligations, a security interest in all Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof, whether held in a Cash Collateral Account or otherwise. Agent may apply Cash Collateral to the payment of Obligations as they become due and payable, in such order as Agent may elect. Each Cash Collateral Account and all Cash Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of Agent, and no Borrower or other Person shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of the Obligations.

7.3 Real Estate Collateral.

7.3.1 Lien on Real Estate. The Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of Revolver Loans and LC Obligations) shall also be secured by Mortgages upon all Real Estate owned by Obligors, other than Real Estate owned by Obligors that constitutes an Excluded Asset. The Mortgages shall be duly recorded, at Borrowers’ expense, in each office where such recording is required to constitute a fully perfected Lien on the Real Estate covered thereby. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that if pursuant to the applicable state law a mortgage tax will be owed on the full amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, then the amount secured by the applicable Mortgage shall be limited to an amount mutually agreed upon by Agent and Borrowers, but not less than 100% of the fair market value of the applicable Real Estate at the time the applicable Mortgage is delivered. If any Borrower acquires Real Estate hereafter, other than Real Estate that constitutes an Excluded Asset, Borrowers shall, within sixty (60) days (as such date may be extended in writing from time to time by Agent) after such acquisition, execute and deliver a Mortgage in recordable form sufficient to create a first priority Lien in favor of Agent on such Real Estate subject to Permitted Liens, and shall deliver all Related Real Estate Documents (except as may be waived by the Agent at the direction of the Supermajority Lenders).

7.3.2 Collateral Assignment of Leases. To further secure the prompt payment and performance of all Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of Revolver Loans and LC Obligations), each Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to Agent all of such Xxxxxxxx’s right, title and interest in, to and under all now or hereafter existing leases of Real Estate to which such Borrower is lessor (as a fee owner of such Real Estate), and all extensions, renewals, modifications and proceeds thereof, except to the extent such interest constitutes an Excluded Asset.

7.4 Other Collateral.

7.4.1 Commercial Tort Claims. Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent in writing if any Borrower has a Commercial Tort Claim for which a claim has been asserted (other than a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $750,000), shall promptly amend Schedule 9.1.16 to include such claim, and shall take such actions as Agent deems appropriate to subject such claim to a duly perfected, first priority Lien in favor of Agent.

7.4.2 Certain After-Acquired Collateral. Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent in writing if, after the Closing Date, any Borrower obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting of Deposit Accounts, Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments, Intellectual Property, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights, in each case having a fair market value in excess of $250,000, and shall promptly take such actions as Agent deems appropriate to effect Agent’s duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such Collateral, including using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any appropriate possession, control agreement or Lien Waiver. If any Collateral having a fair market value in excess of $250,000 is in the possession of a third party, at Agent’s request, Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds the Collateral for the benefit of Agent.

7.5 No Assumption of Liability. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject Agent or any Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of Borrowers relating to any Collateral.

7.6 Further Assurances. All Liens granted to Agent under the Loan Documents are for the benefit of Secured Parties. Promptly upon reasonable request, Borrowers shall deliver such instruments and agreements, and shall take such actions, as Agent reasonably deems appropriate under Applicable Law to evidence or perfect its Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement. Each Borrower authorizes Agent to file any financing statement that describes the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” of such Borrower, or words to similar effect, and ratifies any action taken by Agent before the Closing Date to effect or perfect its Lien on any Collateral.

7.7 Foreign Subsidiary Stock. Notwithstanding Section 7.1, the Collateral shall include only 65% of the voting stock of any Foreign Subsidiary, and any stock in excess of such percentage shall be an Excluded Asset.

SECTION 8. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

8.1 Borrowing Base Certificates. By the 25^th day of each month (or the third Business Day of each week, during a Collateral Trigger Period), Borrower Agent shall deliver to Agent (and Agent shall promptly deliver same to Lenders) a Borrowing Base Certificate prepared as of the close of business of the previous month (or week and month, during a Collateral Trigger Period). All calculations of Availability in any Borrowing Base Certificate shall originally be made by Borrowers and certified by a Senior Officer, provided that to the extent the calculation is not made in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the Availability Reserve, the Agent may from time to time (in consultation with the Borrower Agent) adjust such calculation in its Permitted Discretion.

8.2 Administration of Accounts.

8.2.1 Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts, including all payments and collections thereon, and shall submit to Agent sales, collection, reconciliation and other reports in form reasonably satisfactory

Each Borrower shall also provide to Agent, on or before the last Business Day of each month (or the third Business Day of each week, during a Collateral Trigger Period), a detailed aged trial balance of all Accounts as of the end of the preceding month, or week, as the case may be, specifying each Account’s Account Debtor name, amount, invoice date and due date, showing any discount, allowance, credit, authorized return or dispute, and other information as Agent may reasonably request. Each Borrower shall also provide to Agent, annually (or more frequently if reasonably requested by Agent) addresses for each of such Borrower’s Account Debtors. If Accounts in an aggregate face amount of $100,000 or more cease to be Eligible Accounts, Borrowers shall notify Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) after any Borrower has knowledge thereof.

8.2.2 Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any material, past due Taxes, Agent is authorized, in its reasonable discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided, however, that neither Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due from Borrowers or with respect to any Collateral.

8.2.3 Account Verification. Concurrently with any field examination or upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent or any Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of Borrowers by mail, telephone or otherwise. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

8.3 Administration of Inventory.

8.3.1 Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Inventory, including costs and daily withdrawals and additions, and shall submit to Agent on the last Business Day of each month inventory and reconciliation reports in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent, as of the last day of the preceding calendar month. Each Borrower shall conduct a physical inventory at least once per calendar year and periodic cycle counts consistent with historical practices, and shall provide to Agent a report based on each such inventory and count promptly upon completion thereof, together with such supporting information as Agent may reasonably request. Agent may participate in and observe each physical count.

8.3.2 Returns of Inventory. No Borrower shall return any Inventory to a supplier, vendor or other Person, whether for cash, credit or otherwise, unless (a) such return is in the Ordinary Course of Business; (b) no Event of Default or Overadvance exists or would result therefrom and (c) Agent is promptly notified if the aggregate Value of all Inventory returned in any month exceeds $250,000.

8.3.3 Acquisition, Sale and Maintenance. Each Borrower shall take all steps to assure that all Inventory is produced in accordance with all material requirements of Applicable Law, including the FLSA.

Borrowers shall use, store and maintain all Inventory with reasonable care and caution,

in accordance with applicable standards of any insurance and in conformity with all material requirements of Applicable Law, and shall make current rent payments (within applicable grace periods provided for in leases and except in the case of a bona fide dispute) at all locations where any Collateral is located.

8.4 Administration of Equipment.

8.4.1 Records and Schedules of Equipment. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Equipment, including kind, quality, quantity, cost, acquisitions and dispositions thereof, and shall submit to Agent, on such periodic basis as Agent may reasonably request, a current schedule thereof, in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

Each Borrower shall ensure that the Equipment material to its business is mechanically and structurally sound, and capable of performing the functions for which it was designed, in accordance with manufacturer’s published and recommended specifications. No Borrower shall permit any Equipment having a fair market value in excess of $250,000 to become affixed to Real Estate leased by such Borrower unless such Borrower has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Lien Waiver or similar instrument from the applicable landlord to the extent required by Section 8.6 below.

8.5 Administration of Deposit Accounts. Schedule 8.5 sets forth all Deposit Accounts maintained by Borrowers as of the Closing Date. Each Borrower shall take all actions necessary to establish Agent’s control of each such Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Account).

Each Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account having funds on deposit, either individually or in the aggregate with other Deposit Accounts not subject to control by the Agent, in excess of $1,000,000, and the Borrower Agent may (subject to prior notice to the Agent) amend Schedule 8.5 to reflect same.

All tangible items of Collateral, (other than Inventory in transit or delivered for repair or Inventory located outside of the United States or Canada and having an aggregate retail value not in excess of $100,000), shall at all times be kept by Borrowers at the business locations set forth in Schedule 8.6.1, (as such Schedule 8.6.1 may from time to time be updated by Borrower Agent providing written notice to Agent; provided, however, that any location outside of the United States or Canada must be approved in advance

and in writing by Agent) except that Borrowers may (a) make sales or other dispositions of Collateral in accordance with Section 10.2.6; (b) move Collateral to another location in the United States, upon 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent (or such shorter period as Agent may agree); provided, however, that if there was a Lien Waiver for the prior location, Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Lien Waiver for the new location; and (c) maintain Collateral at other locations having an aggregate retail value not to exceed $100,000 at any single location ($500,000 with respect to grape crush facilities). Upon the request of Agent, each Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Lien Waiver (i) for all Collateral having an aggregate retail value in excess of $100,000 located on leased premises in the United States, in a warehouse or subject to a bailment arrangement ($500,000 with respect to grape crush facilities) and (ii) for any leased premises where any Obligor maintains its books and records.

8.6.2 Insurance of Collateral.

(a) Each Borrower shall maintain insurance with respect to tangible items of Collateral, covering casualty, hazard, theft, malicious mischief, flood and other risks, in amounts, with endorsements and with insurers (with a Best’s Financial Strength Rating of at least A 7 at the time of obtaining insurance from the relevant insurer, unless otherwise approved by Agent) as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent. From time to time upon request (but no less frequently than annually), Borrowers shall deliver to Agent the originals or certified copies of its insurance policies and updated flood plain searches. Unless Agent shall agree otherwise, each policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Agent as lender loss payee, mortgagee under a standard mortgage clause or additional insured, as appropriate; (ii) requiring 30 days’ prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason (or in the case of non-payment, at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice); and (iii) specifying that the interest of Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Borrower or the owner of the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by the policy. While no Event of Default exists, Borrowers may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the proceeds thereof do not exceed $2,500,000 in the aggregate; provided that, in the event any such proceeds exceeds $2,500,000 in the aggregate, Borrower Agent shall consult the Agent prior to settling, adjusting or compromising such insurance claim. If an Event of Default exists, only Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.

8.6.3 Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes payable with respect to any Collateral (including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made by Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral, shall be borne and paid by Borrowers. Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in Agent’s actual possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers’ sole risk.

Agent, or Agent’s designee, may, without notice and in either its or a Borrower’s name, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers:

10.3.3 Curative Equity.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in clause (d) below, any holder of Equity Interests of any Borrower or any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower Agent shall have the right to cure (and shall be deemed to have cured) an Event of Default arising out of a breach of any Financial Covenant (any such breach a “Financial Covenant Default”) if Borrowers receive the cash proceeds of an investment of Curative Equity within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date on which the financial statements referred to in Section 10.1.2(a) are required to be delivered in respect of the Test Period for which such financial covenant is being measured in accordance with Section 10.1.2 (the “Cure Expiration Date”).

(b) Borrower Agent shall promptly notify Agent of its receipt of any proceeds of Curative Equity (and shall immediately apply the same to the payment of first to the Term Loan (on a pro rata basis to all remaining installments based upon the respective amounts thereof), second to the DDTLs (on a pro rata basis to all remaining installments based upon the respective amounts thereof), third to the Revolver Loans (without reduction of the Revolver

118

Commitment), fourth to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit, and finally to other Obligations) by any Borrower; provided that failure to notify the Agent thereof shall not affect the validity of any Curative Equity received by any Borrower on or before the Cure Expiration Date; provided, further, that Agent may exercise remedies under Section 11.2 after the Cure Expiration Date if Agent has not received notice of the Curative Equity until the Agent is so notified.

(c) The Curative Equity shall be treated on a dollar-for-dollar basis as EBITDA or Capitalization, as applicable, of the Borrowers for the applicable Fiscal Quarter in which the applicable Event of Default has occurred (and for any subsequent Test Period which includes such Fiscal Quarter) with no further action required by any party to this Agreement. Neither the Agent nor any Lender may take any action to foreclose on, or take possession of, the Collateral, accelerate any Obligations, terminate any Commitments or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies under Section 11.2 (or under any other Loan Document) or under any Applicable Laws on the basis of any actual or purported Financial Covenant Default until the date on which the Cure Expiration Date has occurred without the Curative Equity having been received by any Borrower; provided that, during such time, no Lender shall be required to make any Loan hereunder and no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder. Upon receipt by any Borrower of the Curative Equity, each applicable Financial Covenant shall be deemed to be satisfied and complied with as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply with such Financial Covenant and any Financial Covenant Default that would have occurred as a result of the failure to satisfy such Financial Covenant shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of the Loan Documents. In the event no Borrower receives the Curative Equity on or before the Cure Expiration Date, an applicable Financial Covenant Default shall be deemed to have occurred and will continue unless waived in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance herewith.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing or this Agreement, (i) Borrowers’ rights under this Section 10.3.3 may be exercised not more than five times during the term of this Agreement; (ii) in each trailing four Fiscal Quarter period there shall be at least two Fiscal Quarters in respect of which no Curative Equity is made, (iii) the amount of any Curative Equity shall not exceed the amount required to cause Borrowers to be in compliance with Financial Covenants, (iv) any Curative Equity will be disregarded for purposes of determining the availability of any baskets, pricing or other items governed by reference to EBITDA contained in the loan documentation, and (v) no reduction in indebtedness with the proceeds of any Curative Equity shall be considered for purposes of recalculating compliance with the Financial Covenants for the initial quarter during such period. For the avoidance of doubt, Curative Equity which is applied to the calculation of both Financial Covenants set forth in Section 10.3.1 and 10.3.2 shall be considered a single instance of the exercise of the cure right set forth in this Section 10.3.3.

SECTION 12. AGENT

12.1 Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent.

12.1.1 Appointment and Authority. Each Secured Party appoints and designates Bank of the West as Agent under all Loan Documents. Agent may, and each Secured Party authorizes Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for the benefit of Secured Parties. Any action taken by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document; (c) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (e) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or under any Loan Documents; Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of Agent are ministerial and administrative in nature only, and Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by reason of any Loan Document or any transaction relating thereto. Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Account or Inventory constitutes an Eligible Account or Eligible Inventory, whether to impose or release any reserve, or whether any conditions to funding or to issuance of a Letter of Credit have been satisfied, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent from liability to any Secured Party or other Person for any error in judgment.

12.1.2 Duties. Agent shall not have any duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. The conferral upon Agent of any right shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

123

12.1.3 Agent Professionals. Agent may perform its duties through agents and employees. Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.

12.1.4 Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders or other Secured Parties with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents or Collateral, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against Claims that could be incurred by Agent. Agent may refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting pursuant to instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section 14.1.1. In no event shall Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

12.2 Agreements Regarding Collateral and Borrower Materials.

12.2.1 Lien Releases; Care of Collateral. Secured Parties authorize Agent to release (and Agent shall release) any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (b) that is the subject of a disposition or Lien that Borrowers certify in writing is an Asset Disposition not prohibited by Section 10.2.6 or a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Agent’s Liens (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry); (c) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral; or (d) subject to Section 14.1, with the consent of Required Lenders. Secured Parties authorize Agent to subordinate its Liens to any Purchase Money Lien or other Lien entitled to priority hereunder. Agent shall have no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by an Obligor, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral; provided that, solely with respect to the Borrowers (and without any obligation to the Secured Parties), the Agent shall use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided, further, that the Agent shall be deemed to have used reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar to the treatment that the Agent accords its own property.

12.2.2 Possession of Collateral. Agent and Secured Parties appoint each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or controlled by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control. If any Lender obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with it in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

124

12.2.3 Reports. Agent shall promptly provide to Lenders, when complete, any field audit, examination or appraisal report prepared for Agent with respect to any Obligor or Collateral (“Report”). Reports and other Borrower Materials may be made available to Lenders by providing access to them on the Platform, but Agent shall not be responsible for system failures or access issues that may occur from time to time. Each Lender agrees (a) that Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Agent or any other Person performing an audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Obligations or Collateral and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ books, records and representations; (b) that Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Borrower Materials and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Borrower Materials, including any Report; and (c) to keep all Borrower Materials confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, not to distribute any Report or other Borrower Materials (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Xxxxxx’s Participants, attorneys and accountants), and to use all Borrower Materials solely for administration of the Obligations. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Borrower Materials, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of Agent furnishing same to such Lender, via the Platform or otherwise.

12.2.4 [Reserved].

12.3 Reliance By Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act upon any instruction, notice or other communication under any Loan Document, and shall not be liable for any delay in acting.

12.4 Action Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any conditions in Section 6, unless it has received written notice from a Borrower or Required Lenders specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure of such conditions, it shall promptly notify Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Secured Party agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations), or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other dispositions of Collateral, or to assert any rights relating to any Collateral.

12.5 Ratable Sharing. If any Lender obtains any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of such Obligation, determined on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.7.2, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from Agent, Issuing Bank and the other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.7.2, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

125

if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the amount thereof to Agent for application under Section 4.2.2 and it shall provide a written statement to Agent describing the Obligation affected by such payment or reduction.

12.6 Indemnification. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES AND ISSUING BANK INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS, ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE; PROVIDED, THAT ANY CLAIM AGAINST (I) AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF AGENT), AND (II) AN ISSUING BANK INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR ISSUING BANK (IN THE CAPACITY OF ISSUING BANK); PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY LENDER HAVE ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER TO INDEMNIFY OR HOLD HARMLESS AN AGENT INDEMNITEE OR ISSUING BANK INDEMNITEE WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM THAT IS DETERMINED IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO RESULT FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. In Agent’s discretion, it may reserve for any Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee or Issuing Bank Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to Secured Parties. If Agent is sued by any receiver, trustee or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Agent by each Lender to the extent of its Pro Rata share to the extent not reimbursed by Xxxxxxxx.

12.7 Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent. Agent shall not be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor, Lender or other Secured Party of any obligations under the Loan Documents. Agent does not make any express or implied representation, warranty or guarantee to Secured Parties with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or Obligor. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents or Borrower Materials; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or Account Debtor. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance by any Obligor of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.

126

12.8 Successor Agent and Co-Agents.

12.8.1 Designation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent xxx resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’ written notice thereof to Xxxxxxx and Borrowers. Upon receipt of such notice, Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower Agent, to appoint a successor Agent which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders and (provided no Default or Event of Default exists) Borrowers. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of Agent’s resignation, the retiring Agent may appoint a successor agent that is a financial institution acceptable to it and that meets the qualifications set forth above, which shall be a Lender unless no Lender accepts the role; provided that (i) the successor Agent shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii) and (ii) in no event shall any such successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Upon acceptance by a successor Agent of its appointment hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Agent without further act, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.6 and 14.2. Notwithstanding any Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Agent. Any successor to Bank of the West by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be Agent hereunder without further act on the part of any Secured Party or Obligor.

12.8.2 Co-Collateral Agent. If necessary or appropriate under Applicable Law, Agent may appoint a Person to serve as a co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent under any Loan Document. Each right and remedy intended to be available to Agent under the Loan Document shall also be vested in such agent. Secured Parties shall execute and deliver any instrument or agreement that Agent may request to effect such appointment. If the agent shall die, dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Agent until appointment of a new agent.

12.9 Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it feels necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and Obligors. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Agent or its Affiliates.

127

12.10 Remittance of Payments and Collections.

12.10.1 Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by Agent and request for payment is made by Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. (Los Angeles time) on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time), then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) on the next Business Day. Payment by Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.

12.10.2 Failure to Pay. If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due by it to Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest, from the due date until paid in full, at the rate determined by Agent as customary for interbank compensation for two Business Days and thereafter at the Default Rate for Adjusted Base Rate Revolver Loans. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to Agent, nor shall any Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts held by Agent pursuant to Section 4.2.

12.10.3 Recovery of Payments. If Agent pays an amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be received by Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received, then Agent may recover such amount from the Secured Party. If Agent determines that an amount received by it must be returned or paid to an Obligor or other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Secured Party. If any amounts received and applied by Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, each Lender shall pay to Agent, on demand, such Xxxxxx’s pro rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

12.11 Individual Capacities.

Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Obligors and their Affiliates, as if they were not Agent or Lenders hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to any Secured Party. In their individual capacities, Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates may receive information regarding Obligors, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and shall have no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party.

12.12 Joint Lead Arrangers. Each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, in such capacities, shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility, or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to it in its capacity as a Lender, as Agent, as Swingline Lender, or as Issuing

128

Bank. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, in such capacities, shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or any Obligor. Each Lender, Agent, Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank, and each Obligor acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Joint Lead Arrangers in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. Each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, in such capacity, shall be entitled to resign at any time by giving notice to Agent and Borrowers.

12.13 Bank Product Providers. Each Secured Bank Product Provider, by delivery of a notice to Agent of a Bank Product, agrees to be bound by Section 5.7 and this Section 12. Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Obligors, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations.

12.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 12 (except with respect to Borrowers’ rights under Section 12.8) is an agreement solely among Secured Parties and Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. This Section 12 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person. As between Borrowers and Agent, any action that Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by Secured Parties.

SECTION 13. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS

13.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Agent, Lenders, Secured Parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that (a) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3. Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 13.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.

13.2 Participations.

13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Subject to Section 13.3.3, any Lender may sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, it shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, it shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if it had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.10 unless Borrowers agree otherwise in writing. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h)

129

and 881(c)(2) of the Code and Treasury regulations issued thereunder on which is entered the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “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 commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under the Code or Treasury Regulations, including without limitation Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations, or is otherwise required thereunder. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

13.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Revolver Termination Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date or the DDTL Maturity Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases any Borrower, Guarantor (except in an Asset Disposition not prohibited by Section 10.2.6 of such Borrower or Guarantor) or substantially all Collateral.

13.2.3 Benefit of Set-Off. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 12.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.

13.3 Assignments.

13.3.1 Permitted Assignments.

(a) A Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its reasonable discretion) and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of those amounts; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is at least $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its reasonable discretion); and (c) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including a pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from its obligations hereunder nor substitute the pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

130

(b) Upon written request by any Lender to the Agent (with such written request being concurrently delivered to the Borrower Agent) in connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.3 or any participation pursuant to Section 13.2, the Agent shall make available to such Lender the list of Disqualified Institutions at the relevant time, and such Lender may provide the list to any potential assignee or participant on a confidential basis in accordance with Section 14.12 for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Institution.

13.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to Agent of an assignment notice in the form of Exhibit B and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this Section 13.3. From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment subject to recordation in the Register pursuant to Section 13.3.4, the transferor Lender, Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new notes, if applicable. The transferee Lender shall comply with Section 5.11 and deliver, upon request, an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to Agent.

13.3.3 Certain Assignees. No assignment or participation may be made to a Borrower, Affiliate of a Borrower, Defaulting Lender, Disqualified Institution or natural person. Any assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall be effective only upon payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other compensating actions as Agent deems appropriate), to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities then owing by the Defaulting Lender hereunder. If an assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall become effective under Applicable Law for any reason without compliance with the foregoing sentence, then the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until such compliance occurs.

13.3.4 Register. Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain (a) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it, and (b) a register for recordation of the names, addresses and Commitments of, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Obligations owing to, each Lender (the “Register”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, entries in the register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall treat each lender recorded in such register as a Lender and the owner of the amounts owing to it under the Loan Documents as reflected in the register for all purposes under the Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender, from time to time upon reasonable notice.

13.4 Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender (a) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, (b) makes a claim for payments under Section 3.7 or 5.10, or (c) is a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, Agent or Borrowers

131

(at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s), pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Acceptance(s), within 20 days after the notice provided that at the time of such replacement, each such replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination. Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents through the date of assignment.

SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Consents, Amendments and Waivers.

14.1.1 Amendment. No modification of any Loan Document, including any extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of Agent (with the consent of Required Lenders) and each Obligor party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that:

(a) without the prior written consent of Agent, no modification shall be effective with respect to any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of Agent;

(b) without the prior written consent of Issuing Bank, no modification shall be effective with respect to any LC Obligations, Section 2.4 or any other provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of Issuing Bank;

(c) without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, including a Defaulting Lender, no modification shall be effective that would (i) increase the Commitment of such Lender; (ii) reduce the amount of, or waive or delay a scheduled payment of, any principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender (except as provided in Section 4.2); (iii) extend the Revolver Termination Date, Term Loan Maturity Date or the DDTL Maturity Date, applicable to such Lender’s Obligations; (iv) with respect to Lenders with Revolver Exposure, release all or substantially all of the Exclusive Revolver Loan/Letter of Credit Collateral; (v) with respect to Lenders with outstanding Term Loans and DDTLs, release all or substantially all of the Primary Term Loan and DDTL Collateral; (vi) amend the definitions of Pro Rata DDTL, Pro Rata Revolver or Pro Rata Term Loan; or (vii) amend this clause (c);

(d) without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except any Defaulting Lender), no modification shall be effective that would (i) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 3.1.1(b)) or any fee payable hereunder (ii) alter Section 5.7.2, 7.1 (except to add Collateral), 12.5 or 14.1.1; (iii) release all or substantially all Collateral; (iv) except in connection with a merger, disposition or similar transaction expressly permitted hereby, release any Obligor from liability for any Obligations, (v) contractually subordinate any of Agent’s Liens, or (vi) amend the definitions of Pro Rata, Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders;

132

(e) without the prior written consent of Supermajority Lenders, no modification shall be effective that would (i) amend the definition of Borrowing Base (or any defined term used in such definition) to the extent the effect of such amendment would be to increase Availability; or (ii) increase any advance rate; and

(f) without the prior written consent of a Secured Bank Product Provider, no modification shall be effective that affects its relative payment priority under Section 5.7.2.

14.1.2 Limitations. The agreement of Borrowers shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, Agent and/or Issuing Bank as among themselves. Only the consent of the parties to any agreement relating to fees or a Bank Product shall be required for modification of such agreement, and no Bank Product provider (in such capacity) shall have any right to consent to modification of any Loan Document other than its Bank Product agreement. Any waiver or consent granted by Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified.

14.1.3 Payment for Consents. No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a pro rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

14.2 Indemnity. EACH BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS (AS HEREIN DEFINED) THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY OBLIGOR OR OTHER PERSON OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE; provided, however, that in no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim to the extent that such Claim (x) is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents or the material breach by a Lender of its obligations under the Loan Documents and such breach resulted in such claim; (y) arises out of, or in connection with, any Claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by Equity Sponsor, Intermediate Holdco, the Borrowers or any of its or their respective affiliates and that is brought by any such indemnified person against any other indemnified person (other than an Indemnitee acting in its capacity as agent, arranger or any other similar role in connection with the Loans unless such claim would otherwise be excluded pursuant to clause (x) above) and (z) settlements effected without Borrower Agent’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but no consent of Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that Borrowers shall have no obligation to reimburse any Indemnitee for fees and expenses unless such Indemnitee provides an undertaking in which such Indemnitee agrees to refund and return any and all amounts paid by Borrowers to such Indemnitee to the extent any of the foregoing items in clause (x) through (z) above occurs. The foregoing shall be limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the

133

reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the indemnified persons taken as a whole and if necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction (and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the affected indemnified persons, taken as a whole, and if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction), in each case, excluding allocated costs of in-house counsel, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Borrowers’ use or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans or the commitments and any other transactions connected therewith. This Section 14.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

14.3 Notices and Communications.

14.3.1 Notice Address. Subject to Section 4.1.5, all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Borrower, at Borrower Agent’s address shown on Schedule 14.3.1, and to any other Person at its address shown on Schedule 14.3.1 (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Acceptance), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 14.3. Each communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Any written communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed received by all Borrowers.

14.3.2 Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. Electronic mail and internet websites may be used only for routine communications, such as delivery of Borrower Materials, administrative matters, distribution of Loan Documents, and matters permitted under Section 4.1.5. Agent and Lenders make no assurances as to the privacy and security of electronic communications. Electronic and voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.

14.3.3 Platform. Borrower Materials shall be delivered pursuant to procedures approved by Agent, including electronic delivery (if possible) upon request by Agent to an electronic system maintained by Agent (“Platform”). Borrowers shall notify Agent of each posting of Borrower Materials on the Platform and the materials shall be deemed received by Agent only upon its receipt of such notice. Borrower Materials and other information relating to this credit facility may be made available to Lenders on the Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information on the Platform nor the adequacy or functioning of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for any errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials or any issues involving the Platform. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY AGENT WITH RESPECT TO BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. Lenders acknowledge that Borrower Materials may include material non-

134

public information of Obligors and should not be made available to certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) who may have personnel who do not wish to receive such information or who may be engaged in investment or other market-related activities with respect to any Obligor’s securities. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any liability to Borrowers, Lenders or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform or delivery of Borrower Materials and other information through the Platform.

The Borrower Agent hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (a) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC,” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (b) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of U.S. federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they will be treated as set forth in Section 14.12); (c) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Side Information”; and (d) the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated as “Public Side Information”.

14.3.4 Non-Conforming Communications. Agent and Lenders may rely upon any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if they were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any electronic or telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower.

14.4 Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations. Agent may, in its discretion, with two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower Agent at any time when a Default exists, or at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Borrowers’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of a Borrower under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Agent under this Section 14.4 shall be reimbursed to Agent by Xxxxxxxxx, with interest from the date incurred until paid in full, at the Default Rate applicable to Adjusted Base Rate Revolver Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Agent under this Section 14.4 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

14.5 Credit Inquiries. Agent and Lenders may (but shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Obligor or Subsidiary.

135

14.6 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

14.7 Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

14.8 Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when Agent has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement.

14.9 Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to all Loan Documents and Obligations. The Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, among the parties relating to the subject matter thereof.

14.10 Relationship with Xxxxxxx. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, joint venture or similar arrangement, nor to constitute control of any Obligor.

14.11 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrowers and such Person; (ii) Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrowers, any of their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrowers and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of

136

such interests to Borrowers or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

14.12 Confidentiality. Each of Agent, Xxxxxxx and Issuing Bank (collectively, the “Restricted Persons” and, each a “Restricted Person”) shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section 14.12, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product; (g) with the consent of Borrower Agent; or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 14.12 or (ii) is available to Agent, any Lender, Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information concerning this credit facility for league table, tombstone and advertising purposes, and may use Borrowers’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials. As used herein, “Information” means all information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary or Affiliates relating to it or its business, other than any such information that is available to Agent or any Lender thereof on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by an Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section 14.12 shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a degree of care similar to that which it accords its own confidential information. Each of Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank acknowledges that (i) Information may include material non-public information; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law.

14.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

14.14 Consent to Forum. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER NEW YORK, NEW YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO

137

SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 14.3.1. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

14.15 Waivers by Xxxxxxxxx. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES (A) THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE OF ANY KIND RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, OBLIGATIONS OR COLLATERAL; (B) PRESENTMENT, DEMAND, PROTEST, NOTICE OF PRESENTMENT, DEFAULT, NON-PAYMENT, MATURITY, RELEASE, COMPROMISE, SETTLEMENT, EXTENSION OR RENEWAL OF ANY COMMERCIAL PAPER, ACCOUNTS, DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, CHATTEL PAPER AND GUARANTEES AT ANY TIME HELD BY AGENT ON WHICH A BORROWER MAY IN ANY WAY BE LIABLE, AND HEREBY RATIFIES ANYTHING AGENT MAY DO IN THIS REGARD; (C) NOTICE PRIOR TO TAKING POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF ANY COLLATERAL; (D) ANY BOND OR SECURITY THAT MIGHT BE REQUIRED BY A COURT PRIOR TO ALLOWING AGENT TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES; (E) THE BENEFIT OF ALL VALUATION, APPRAISEMENT AND EXEMPTION LAWS; (F) ANY CLAIM AGAINST AGENT, ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) IN ANY WAY RELATING TO ANY ENFORCEMENT ACTION, OBLIGATIONS, LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING THERETO; AND (G) NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE HEREOF. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVERS ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO EACH OTHER PARTY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND SUCH OTHER PARTY IS RELYING UPON THE FOREGOING IN THEIR DEALINGS THEREWITH. EACH PARTY HERETO HAS REVIEWED THE FOREGOING WAIVERS WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVED ITS JURY TRIAL AND OTHER RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

14.16 Patriot Act Notice. Agent and Lenders subject to the Patriot Act hereby notify Borrowers, Agent and Lenders that they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act. Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Borrowers’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. In addition, if Agent or any Lender is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Obligors and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the Obligors’ senior management and key principals, and Borrowers agree to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall constitute expenses hereunder for which the Borrowers shall be liable.

138

14.17 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document , 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:

14.17.1 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

14.17.2 the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(b) 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

(c) 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.

14.18 Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends, restates, and supersedes in its entirety, without substitution or novation, the Prior Agreement. This Agreement does not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Prior Agreement nor does it discharge or release any of the other obligations under the Prior Agreement, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Prior Agreement or instruments securing the same, which (notwithstanding the refunding of the same on the Closing Date) shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any Obligor under the Prior Agreement from any of its obligations and liabilities thereunder, as modified hereby. Each Obligor hereby confirms and agrees that, except as modified or amended and restated hereby or by a Loan Document or other instruments executed concurrently herewith, each “Loan Document” (as defined in the Prior Agreement) to which it is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects except that on and after the Closing Date all references in any such Loan Document to the “Agreement,” “thereto,” “thereof,” “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Prior Agreement shall mean this Agreement. Each Obligor hereby confirms and agrees that all outstanding principal, interest and fees and other obligations under the Prior Agreement immediately prior to the date hereof shall, from and after the date hereof, be, without duplication, obligations owing and payable pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect from time to time, shall accrue interest thereon as specified in this Agreement, and shall be secured pursuant to the Security Documents.

Annex 1

Benchmark Replacement Setting

(a)

Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 2:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this clause (a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b)

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c)

Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) of this Annex 1 and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Annex 1, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Annex 1.

(d)

Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Bexxxxxxx xas provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition

of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)

Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Adjusted Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Adjusted Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Adjusted Base Rate.

(f)	Definitions. As used in this Annex 1 the following terms have the meaning specified below:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (d) of this Annex 1.

“Benchmark” means, initially, Term SOFR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to Term SOFR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (a) of this Annex 1.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark

Replacement Adjustment; provided that, if such Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than the Floor, such Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(a) in the case of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(a) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to

provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(b) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Board of Governors, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(c) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Start Date” means, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Annex 1 and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Annex 1.

“Conforming Changes” means, with respect to the use, administration, adoption or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative

or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Adjusted Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “U.S. Government Securities Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period” or any similar or analogous definition, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of Annex 1 and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of any such rate or to permit the use and administration thereof by the Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, determines that no market practice for the administration of any such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

“Floor” means a rate of interest equal to 0%

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Board of Governors or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.

“SOFR Borrowing” means, as to any Borrowing, the SOFR Loans comprising such Borrowing.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
