ARTICLE II

THE FACILITY

Section 2.01 Loans.

(a) Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make a Loan to the Borrowers on the Closing Date in an amount equal to such Lender’s Loan Commitment. The Borrowers may make only one Borrowing under the Loan Commitments, which shall be made on the Closing Date. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) Borrowing Mechanics for Loans. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed Borrowing Notice no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date (which shall be a Business Day). The Borrowing request in the Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to make a Borrowing in accordance therewith. Promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Borrowing Notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Borrowing. Each Lender shall make its Loan available to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent shall cause an amount of same day funds in Dollars to be credited to the Interest Reserve Account and the Proceeds Account in accordance with the Closing Date Sources and Uses. The Loans will be deemed fully advanced on the Closing Date in the amount of Forty Million and No/100 Dollars ($40,000,000.00).

Section 2.02 Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares. The Loans shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall any commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan. Each Lender agrees that, in computing such Lender’s portion of any Loans to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Loans to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

(b) Availability of Funds. Each Lender shall make available the amount of its Loan to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make the Loans available to the Borrowers on the Closing Date, unless such corresponding amounts have been made available to the Administrative Agent by each Lender. If a Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers. In the event any Loan proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement are not delivered to the Borrowers as a result of any condition precedent herein specified not having been met, the Administrative Agent shall return the amounts so received to the Lenders who delivered such Loan proceeds to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.03 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations owed to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be prima facie evidence of the matters so recorded; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Borrowers’ Obligations in respect of any Loans.

(b) Register. The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrowers, maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Loans, each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans and each assignment thereof pursuant to Section 10.04(c), and any such recordation shall be prima facie evidence of the matters so recorded; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrowers’ Obligations in respect of any Loan. The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrowers’ representative solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.03(b), and the Borrowers hereby agrees that, to the extent the Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees”.

(c) Notes. The Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.04) a Note to evidence such Lender’s Loan.

Section 2.04 Interest on Loans. (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof at 10% per annum (the “Interest Rate”).

(b) [reserved].

(d) Computation. Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.04(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(e) Payment Dates. Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on (i) each Interest Payment Date, (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid, and (iii) at maturity, including final maturity.

(f) At least one (1) Business Day prior to each Interest Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Lenders a calculation of the interest required to be paid in cash with respect to the Loans (which calculation shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) on such Interest Payment Date. On each such Interest Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall cause investments held in the Interest Reserve Account, if any, to be liquidated and paid to the Lenders in accordance with this Section 2.04 in respect of the interest then due in cash as specified in such notice from the Administrative Agent. Except as set forth in this Agreement, in no event may amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account be used to pay any fees, indemnities or other amounts due hereunder or for any other purpose (other than interest on the Loans). In the event that there are insufficient funds in the Interest Reserve Account to pay any such required amount when due, the Borrowers shall, prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, deposit in Cash into the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to such deficiency; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall disburse an amount equal to such deficiency from the Proceeds Account to the Interest Reserve Account in the event such amounts are not received from the Borrowers on a timely basis. The Borrowers acknowledge that any failure by the Borrowers to deposit funds into the Interest Reserve Account as required in this Section 2.04 shall not in any way exonerate or diminish the Borrowers’ Obligations to make all payments under this Agreement as and when due.

(g) On each Disbursement Date, the Administrative Agent shall cause investments held in the Proceeds Account, if any, to be liquidated and for the applicable Disbursement to be transferred to the Additional Account(s) specified by the Borrowers, as more specifically described in Section 5.13(d) and subject to the satisfaction of all conditions therein.

Section 2.05 Reserved.

Section 2.06 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.01, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is equal to the lesser of (a) 3.0% per annum in excess of the Interest Rate otherwise payable hereunder and (b) the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law (such rate, the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.06 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 2.07 Fees.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent a monitoring fee in the amount equal to $50,000 per annum, which fee shall be paid in full on the Closing Date and, if applicable, on each anniversary of the Closing Date until the Obligations have been discharged in full (the “Administrative Fee”).

(b) Reserved.

(c) Any full or partial prepayment or repayment (including without limitation as a result of any voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the Loans, any acceleration of the Loans resulting from an Event of Default, any foreclosure and sale of Collateral, or any sale of Collateral in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) of the Loans prior to the Maturity Date shall be subject to a Yield Maintenance Premium (as liquidated damages and compensation for the cost of the Lenders making the Loans available during the scheduled term of this Agreement) for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in addition to the payment of the subject principal amount and all unpaid accrued interest and other amounts due thereon.

(d) Once paid, none of the fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.08 Repayment of Loans. On the Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans, together with unpaid interest, fees and costs (including amounts required to be paid under Section 2.04(e) or Section 2.07).

Section 2.09 Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) At any time and from time to time, the Borrowers may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in additional sums of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

(b) All such prepayments shall be made upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice, such notice given to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such notice to each applicable Lender). Such notice shall specify the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid and accrued interest and fees to be paid in connection therewith, and the applicable prepayment date. Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice (together with any additional amounts required to be paid in connection therewith under Section 2.04(e)) shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.11. For the avoidance of doubt, such voluntary prepayment Loans shall be accompanied by the Yield Maintenance Premium (or applicable part thereof in the event of a partial repayment) attributable to such prepayment amount.

Section 2.10 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Not later than one Business Day following the completion of (i) any Asset Sale (other than an Excluded Asset Sale) or (ii) the occurrence of any Recovery Event, the Borrowers shall apply an amount equal to the Required Prepayment Percentage of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.11.

(b) Not later than one Business Day following Borrower’s issuance or other incurrence of Indebtedness of any such Borrower (other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), the Borrowers shall apply an amount equal to the Required Prepayment Percentage of such net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.11.

(c) Not later than one Business Day following the completion of any Equity Issuance, the Borrowers shall apply an amount equal to the Required Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.11.

(d) The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.10, (i) a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three days prior written notice. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, in each case in accordance with Section 2.11. In the event that the Borrowers shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrowers shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11 in an amount equal to such excess, and the Borrowers shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

(e) Any such prepayment or repayment of Loans shall be accompanied by the applicable Administrative Fee and the Yield Maintenance Premium (or applicable part thereof in the event of a partial repayment) attributable to such prepayment amount.

Section 2.11 Application of Prepayments. Any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.10 shall be applied to the Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof). Any prepayment or repayment of Loans shall be accompanied by the applicable Administrative Fee and Yield Maintenance Premium attributable to such prepayment amount.

Section 2.12 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office for the account of the Lenders.

(b) All payments (whether at scheduled maturity, by acceleration, voluntary or mandatory) in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid through the date of repayment or prepayment, the Yield Maintenance Premium and Administrative Fee.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including, without limitation, all the Yield Maintenance Premium and all other fees payable with respect thereto, but excluding the Administrative Fee (or, to the extent any such amounts are paid with respect to any such Lender’s interests individually, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender such amounts), to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.

(d) [reserved].

(e) Subject to the proviso set forth in the definition of “Interest Period”, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder.

(f) The Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to charge the Borrowers’ accounts in order to cause timely payment to be made to the Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

(g) The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrowers and each applicable Lender if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Article VII. Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.06 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Article VII, all payments or proceeds received by the Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations, shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 7.02.

Section 2.13 Ratable Sharing. Except to the extent that this Agreement or any other Loan Document provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or Lenders and as provided in the Security Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral), the Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrowers expressly consent to the foregoing arrangement and agree that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by any Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against any Borrower and, in the event the treatment of Obligations held by Affiliated Lenders (or Assignees of any such Affiliated Lender) is disproportionately adverse treatment (i.e. results “less than ratable treatment” or “proportionately lesser payment”) for such Persons than the treatment of, or payment on, Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders (or Assignees of any such Affiliated Lender), then, in such event, (x) the Affiliated Lenders (or Assignees of any such Affiliated Lender) shall not be entitled to the benefit of this Section 2.13, (y) Affiliated Lenders (or Assignees of any such Affiliated Lender) shall not object to receiving proportionately lesser payment and (z) any payment received by any Affiliated Lender (or Assignees of any such Affiliated Lender) in excess of less than ratable treatment (or proportionately lesser payment) provided for such Person in such proceeding shall be deemed “proportionately greater payment” to such Person and shall be turned over to the Administrative Agent for application to Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders (or Assignees of any such Affiliated Lender); provided, however, the sentence shall not be applicable to the Affiliated Lender (Guarantor).

Section 2.14 Reserved.

Section 2.15 Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the Administrative Agent;

(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.16 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Taxes payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Administrative Agent any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to maintain any such Loan) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to be material, then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity and capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, or such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s holding company, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity and capital requirements), then from time to time the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, or such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s holding company, for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the amount or amounts shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or the Administrative Agent under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 for increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is more than 365-days prior to such request if such Lender or the Administrative Agent knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided, further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 365-day period. The protection of this Section 2.15 shall be available to each Lender and the Administrative Agent regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

Section 2.16 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers or any other Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrowers or such other Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholding (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers or such other Borrower shall make (or cause to be made) such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers or such other Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, without limiting the foregoing provisions, the Borrowers and each other applicable Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, or any of their respective Affiliates, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers or any other Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) and any penalties, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) As soon as practicable (and in any event within 30 days) after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers or any other Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (i) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in the rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty, (ii) an accurate and complete U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI (or successor form), (iii) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8IMY (or successor form) (and required attachments), or (iv) in the case of any Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Tax Code and is relying on the so-called “portfolio interest exemption,” a “Non-Bank Certificate” in the form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) certifying, in each case, to such Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all interest payments hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision in this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) Any Lender that is a United States person, as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Tax Code, and is not an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c) shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such person is exempt from United States back-up withholding.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This clause (f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of all amounts due hereunder.

Section 2.17 Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.15 or 2.16, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts (at the request of the Borrowers so long as the Borrowers have received notice of such occurrence or existence) to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Loans through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, (i) would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or the interests of such Lender and (ii) would not require such Lender to disclose any information such Lender deems confidential and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender; provided that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.17 unless the Borrowers agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described in clause (a) above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.17 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.18 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrowers that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.15 or 2.16, (b) the circumstances which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (c) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrowers’ request for such withdrawal; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrowers may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.04 and the Borrowers shall pay any reasonable fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided that (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Sections 2.07 and 2.12 (including the Yield Maintenance Premium or applicable portion thereof); and (2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrowers shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

Section 2.19 Reserved.

Section 2.20 Borrower Representative. Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby designates the Lead Borrower as its representative and agent (in such capacity, the “Borrower Representative”) for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of financial reports, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the applicable Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the Borrower Representative 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 the Borrower Representative shall be binding upon and enforceable against it. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower (other than the Borrower Representative) shall be authorized to request any Loan or disbursement hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lead Borrower.

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Borrowers ), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.08).

Section 8.04 Notice of Default. None of the Agents shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such direction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 8.05 Agents Entitled to Act as Lenders. Being an Agent shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 8.06 Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgement.

(a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers in connection with its Loans hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrowers. None of the Agents shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and none of the Agents shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent or the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such approvals), as applicable, on the date of delivery of such signature page.

(c) Each Lender shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

Section 8.07 Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Borrower, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided, further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 8.08 Successor Agents. At any time from and after the earliest of (a) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (b) Investors Heritage Life Insurance Company or any of its Affiliates do not hold any Loans, (c) it becomes illegal or practically impossible for Aquarian Credit Funding LLC to remain as an Administrative Agent, (d) the Lenders unanimously vote to remove Aquarian Credit Funding LLC as the Administrative Agent, Aquarian Credit Funding LLC shall have the right to resign as the Administrative Agent by giving thirty days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers, and Aquarian Credit Funding LLC may be removed at any time the Administrative Agent with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and signed by the Required Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrowers, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by an applicable successor, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor all sums, Capital Stock and other items of Collateral held under the Security Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor of the security interests created under the Security Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit, as well as to the benefit of its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties, as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither any Affiliated Lender (nor any Assignee of any Affiliated Lender) shall be appointed (and such Person shall not accept the appointment) as the Administrative Agent, as a Supplemental Agent (or as an Agent).

Section 8.09 Loan Documents.

(a) Agents under Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Obligations and the Loan Documents. Without further written consent or authorization from the Lenders or any other Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) release any Lien encumbering any other item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale, lease or other disposition of assets permitted hereby or to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.08) have otherwise consented, or (ii) release any Borrower (other than a Borrower) from its Security Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof or with the consent of Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.08).

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Loan Documents. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents (other than Section 10.06) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Loan Documents, including any Security Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Administrative Agent, as representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale.

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

Section 8.10 Withholdings. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 2.16(d) are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

Section 8.11 Appointment of Supplemental Agents. Each Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by such Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Agents”). In the event that any Agent appoints a Supplemental Agent with respect to any of its powers, rights, privileges, remedies or duties under the Loan Documents, including with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to such Agent with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges and to perform such duties, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Agent shall run to and be enforceable by any of the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article VIII and of Section 10.05 shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Agent, as applicable, and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Agent, as the context may require. Should any instrument in writing from a Borrower or any other Borrower be required by any Supplemental Agent so appointed by an Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the applicable Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Borrower, to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Agent, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Agent.

ARTICLE IX

CO-BORROWERS

Section 9.01 Guarantee of the Borrowers. Each of the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally Guarantees as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code) on the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers, and all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Borrower under any Loan Document strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees that if any Borrower or other Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Obligations, the such Borrower will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Section 9.02 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Borrower hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Obligations it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its Guarantee in Section 9.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any Borrower or any other Borrower or any security for any of the Obligations. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any Indebtedness of any Borrower or any other Borrower (or any such Borrower) now or hereafter owing to any Borrower by reason of any payment by such Borrower under the Guarantee in this Article IX is hereby subordinated to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. In addition, any Indebtedness of the Borrowers now or hereafter held by any Borrower is hereby subordinated in right of payment in full in cash to the Obligations. Each Borrower agrees that it will not demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any such Indebtedness of any Borrower until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Borrower shall, prior to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such Indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the Secured Parties and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of such Borrower under the other provisions of the Guarantee contained herein.

Section 9.03 Remedies. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree that, as between the Borrowers and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VII, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by any Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Borrowers under their Guarantee set forth in Section 9.01.

Section 9.04 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Guarantee in this Article IX constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Borrower in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

Section 9.05 Authority to Bind. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be the joint and several Obligations of both Borrowers, and any notice given, request made, act taken or certification, representation, warranty or covenant made by any Borrower under or in connection with the Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been made, taken or given by both Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints the other Borrower its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to give such notices, makes such request, take such actions and make such certifications, representations, warranties and covenants, and further hereby directs such other Borrower to do such things and instructs and advises the parties hereto that any such thing done by such other Borrower in connection with the Transactions shall be deemed to have been done on behalf of both Borrowers in accordance with this power of attorney. This power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including any Assignment and Assumption) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent and the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Requirement of Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

It is expressly understood and agreed that posting documents to a data room or a data site or similar platforms shall not, BY ITSELF, be deemed to be notice to the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 10.02 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the documents, certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid. The agreements of the Borrowers set forth in Sections 2.15, 2.16, this Article X and the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Sections 2.13, 8.03(b) and 8.07 shall remain operative and in full force and effect in perpetuity regardless of the expiration this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent, any Lender.

Section 10.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the parties hereto and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrowers, the Agents or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or any other Person, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more Eligible Assignees (which Eligible Assignee may not be an Affiliated Lender unless the Lender selling such participating interest is also an Affiliated Lender) (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrowers and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.06), provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 2.13 as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrowers also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 and 2.16 with respect to its participation in the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided, that, in the case of Section 2.16, such Participant complies with the requirements of said Section at the time such participant directly requests the benefits of Section 2.16 and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender, any Affiliate of the assigning Lender or of another Lender or any Approved Fund or, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (and to the extent no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the Lead Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment if it has not responded within 5 Business Days after request for such consent) to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity that, in each case, is an Eligible Assignee (which Eligible Assignee may not be any Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof) (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance (or the Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance), executed by such Assignee and such Assignor and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, together with a processing fee of $3,500 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent or the assignment is to Affiliated Lender Guarantor); provided, that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any Affiliate of the assigning Lender or of another Lender or any Approved Fund) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (provided, that for purposes of the foregoing limitations only, any two or more Funds that concurrently invest in Loans and are managed by the same investment advisor, or investment advisors that are Affiliates of one another, shall be treated as a single Assignee or Assignor). Any such assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan so assigned. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance (or the Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance), (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance (or the Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance), have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with respect to the Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance (or the Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance), be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance (or the Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance)covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto).

(d) Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Upon any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note, if requested of the Borrower and upon the return of the old Notes to the Borrower marked “canceled,” the Borrower shall issue one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount to the designated Assignee.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance (or the Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.04(c), by each such other Person) the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance (or the Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrowers. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrowers, at their own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for any Note of the assigning Lender) a new Note or Notes to such Assignee or its registered assigns in an amount equal to the applicable share of outstanding Loans assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance (or the Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) and, if the Assignor has retained any share of outstanding Loans upon request, a new Note or Notes to the Assignor or its registered assigns in an amount equal to such share of outstanding Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated as of the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 10.04 concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

(g) No assignment (or participation) shall be made to any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Subsidiaries.

(h) The Borrowers shall ensure that no Borrower assigns or delegates any of its rights or duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.04 or Section 10.08 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders or all Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Borrower therefrom unless the action in question affects any Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than its effect on the other Lenders, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action and:

(i) all Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions; and
