(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies: (i) those rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; provided that this Section 6.1(a) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default; (ii) those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a 17 509265-2041-00000000.14

bank's right of setoff or bankers’ lien and any credit bidding) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement; (iii) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Deposit Account Control Agreement and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral; (iv) without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 9.1 or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person, enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable; and (v) concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof. (b) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. (c) The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase (including by credit bidding) for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases. (d) Until the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. (e) Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Administrative Agent will give the Grantors reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time and place on or after which any private sale thereof is to be made. The requirement of reasonable notice conclusively shall be met if such notice is mailed, certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Grantors at the address set forth in Article X, or delivered or otherwise sent to the Grantors, at least ten (10) days before the date of the sale. The Grantors expressly waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right to receive notice of any public or private sale of any Collateral or other security for the Obligations except as expressly provided for in this paragraph. 18 509265-2041-31480247.14

The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Collateral may have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, except as required by applicable law, adjourn the sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice (except as required by applicable law), be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral. (g) To the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, partnership interests, membership interests, joint venture interests or the like, and whether or not any of such Collateral has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, sell all or any part of such Collateral at a private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in order that the sale may be lawfully conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may (i) approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers, and (ii) restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. In the event that any such Collateral is sold at a private sale, the Grantors agree to the extent permitted by applicable law that if such Collateral is sold for a price which is commercially reasonable, then (A) the Grantors shall not be entitled to a credit against the Obligations in an amount in excess of the purchase price, and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor the other Secured Parties shall incur any liability or responsibility to the Grantors in connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized at a public sale. The Grantors recognize that a ready market may not exist for such Collateral if it is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange, and that a sale by the Administrative Agent of any such Collateral for an amount less than a pro rata share of the fair market value of the issuer’s assets minus liabilities may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to sell a large amount of such Collateral or Collateral that is privately traded. 6.2 Grantor’s Obligations Upon Default.

IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE, UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. IN EACH CASE OF THE FOREGOING, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXYHOLDER AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL NOT BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT UNTIL THE APPLICABLE EVENT OF DEFAULT IS NO LONGER CONTINUING IN WHICH CASE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RIGHTS UNDER THIS SECTION 7.3 SHALL CEASE TO BE EFFECTIVE, SUBJECT TO REVESTING IN THE EVENT OF A SUBSEQUENT EVENT OF DEFAULT THAT IS CONTINUING. 7.4 Nature of Appointment; Limitation of Duty. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS ARTICLE VII IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 9.14. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, NOR ANY SECURED PARTY, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, NOR ANY OF THEIR OR THEIR AFFILIATES’ RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO (I) ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR (II) A MATERIAL BREACH BY IT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO A CLAIM INITIATED BY ANY GRANTOR, IN EACH CASE, AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THEY BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ARTICLE VIII COLLECTION AND APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS; DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS 8.1 Collection of Accounts. (a) On or before the date that is sixty (60) days following the Closing Date (or such later date agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, the 22 509265-2041-31480247.14

“Control Agreement Deadline”), each Grantor shall (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent Deposit Account Control Agreements for each Collateral Deposit Account, which Collateral Deposit Accounts as of the Closing Date are identified as such on Exhibit B, and (ii) establish lock box service (the “Lock Boxes”) with banks at which lock boxes are maintained (which banks as of the Closing Date are set forth in Exhibit B), which Lock Boxes shall be subject to irrevocable lockbox agreements (which may be set forth in Deposit Account Control Agreements) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall be accompanied by (A) an acknowledgment by the bank where such Lock Box is located of the Lien of the Administrative Agent granted hereunder and (B) such bank’s agreement to comply with irrevocable instructions to wire all amounts collected therein to the Collection Account or any other Deposit Account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement (a “Lock Box Agreement”). After the Closing Date, each Grantor will comply with the terms of Section 8.2 and Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement. (b) During any Full Cash Dominion Period, (i) each Grantor shall direct all of its Account Debtors to forward payments directly to lock boxes which shall be Lock Boxes subject to Lock Box Agreements or a Deposit Account that shall be a Collateral Deposit Account, in each case in accordance with Section 8.1(a) or 8.2, (ii) each Grantor shall ensure that all net cash proceeds received by such Grantor in respect of any Disposition (other than a Disposition pursuant to Section 7.5(b) of the Credit Agreement) of assets included in the Borrowing Base shall be deposited into a Collateral Deposit Account and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to exercise exclusive control over any Collateral Deposit Accounts at all times and no Grantor will be permitted to remove any item from a Lock Box or from a Collateral Deposit Account without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees that (A) except as provided in Section 6.1, it will not deliver a notice exercising exclusive control over a Collateral Deposit Account unless a Full Cash Dominion Period has commenced and is continuing or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (B) it will promptly deliver a notice rescinding its exclusive control over any Collateral Deposit Account with respect to which it has previously delivered a notice exercising exclusive control if such Full Cash Dominion Period shall have ended and no Event of Default is then continuing. If any Grantor should refuse or neglect to notify any Account Debtor to forward any payments directly to a Lock Box subject to a Lock Box Agreement or Collateral Deposit Account after written notice from the Administrative Agent thereof, the Administrative Agent shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, be entitled to make such notification directly to such Account Debtor. If notwithstanding the foregoing instructions during any Full Cash Dominion Period (or when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), any Grantor receives any proceeds of any Receivables, or net cash proceeds from Dispositions of assets included in the Borrowing Base, such Grantor shall receive such payments as the Administrative Agent’s trustee, and shall promptly deposit all cash, checks or other similar payments related to or constituting payments made in respect of Receivables or net cash proceeds received by it to a Collateral Deposit Account. During any Full Cash Dominion Period, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to require that all funds deposited into any Lock Box subject to a Lock Box Agreement or a Collateral Deposit Account be swept on a daily basis into a collection account maintained by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent (the “Collection Account”). The Administrative Agent shall hold and apply funds received into the Collection Account as provided by the terms of Section 8.3. 8.2 Covenant Regarding New Deposit Accounts; Lock Boxes. (a) No Grantor may open a new Lock Box or Collateral Deposit Account after the Closing Date unless (i) such Grantor shall have provided, within three (3) Business Days following the opening thereof (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), notice of the opening of such Lock Box or Collateral Deposit Account to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the bank or financial institution at which such Grantor seeks to open such Lock Box or Collateral Deposit Account has entered into, within sixty (60) days following the opening thereof (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), a Lock Box Agreement or a Deposit Account Control Agreement giving the Administrative Agent Control 23 509265-2041-31480247.14

of such Lock Box or Collateral Deposit Account in a manner consistent with the requirements set forth in Section 8.1(a)(i) and (ii); provided that (A) no such agreement will be required to be effective prior to the Control Agreement Deadline and (B) after the Control Agreement Deadline, the Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable sole discretion, with respect to any Lock Box or Collateral Deposit Account that is not subject to a Lock Box Agreement or a Deposit Account Control Agreement defer delivery of a Lock Box Agreement or a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such Lock Box or Collateral Deposit Account (it being understood and agreed that, prior to the opening of such new Lock Boxes or Collateral Deposit Accounts referenced in this clause (B) (but only after the Control Agreement Deadline), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to establish a Reserve with respect to those Lock Boxes or Collateral Deposit Accounts referenced in this clause (B) for which a Lock Box Agreement or a Deposit Account Control Agreement has not yet been executed and delivered). (b) If any Grantor opens an additional Lock Box or Collateral Deposit Account with a bank that is already party to a Lock Box Agreement or Deposit Account Control Agreement or such Grantor transfers or otherwise assigns any Lock Box or Collateral Deposit Account subject to an existing Lock Box Agreement or Deposit Account Control Agreement to a different Grantor party to such Lock Box Agreement or Deposit Account Control Agreement, such Grantor or the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days following the opening or transfer thereof and the Administrative Agent shall have the authority to enter into, on behalf of itself and the applicable Grantor or Grantors, an amendment, supplement or other modification to such Lock Box Agreement or Deposit Account Control Agreement to reflect the addition or change in ownership, as the case may be, of such Lock Box Agreement or Collateral Deposit Account for the purpose of ensuring that such Lock Box Agreement or Collateral Deposit Account is subject to the control arrangement evidenced thereby. (c) In the case of Lock Boxes or Collateral Deposit Accounts maintained with any Lender, the terms of each Lock Box Agreement and Deposit Account Control Agreement entered into with such Lender shall be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement regarding setoff. 8.3 Application of Proceeds; Deficiency All amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall be deemed received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.17(b) of the Credit Agreement and shall, after having been credited to the Collection Account, be made available to and applied (and allocated) by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.11(c) of the Credit Agreement, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that during any Full Cash Dominion Period, after such application, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the balance, if any remaining shall be deposited into an account of the Borrower designated for such purposes by written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (the “Designated Account”); provided, further, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no Full Cash Dominion Period is in effect, collections which are received into the Collection Account shall be deposited into the Designated Account rather than being used to reduce amounts owing under the Credit Agreement. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may require all cash proceeds of the Collateral which are not required to be applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of the Credit Agreement (including any such proceeds not required to be swept into the Collection Account) to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Administrative Agent and held there as security for the Obligations. No Grantor shall have any control whatsoever over said cash collateral account. Any such proceeds of the Collateral, and any other proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be applied, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, in the order set forth in Section 2.17(b) of the Credit Agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise direct. The balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been satisfied, shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent into the Borrower’s general operating account with the Administrative Agent. The Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all 24 509265-2041-31480247.14

Obligations, including any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency. ARTICLE IX GENERAL PROVISIONS 9.1 Waivers. Except as set forth in Section 6.1(e), each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article X, at least ten days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise out of (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party, as applicable, or (ii) a material breach by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party, as applicable, of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant to a claim initiated by any Grantor, in each case, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral. 9.2 Limitation on Administrative Agent’s and Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. So long as the Administrative Agent exercises reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its possession, custody or control, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any liability for any loss of or damage to any Collateral, and in no event shall the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties have liability for any diminution in value of the Collateral occasioned by economic or market conditions or events. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care within the meaning of the preceding sentence if the Collateral in the possession, custody or control of the Administrative Agent is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords similar property for its own account, it being understood that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 9.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 9.2. 9.3 Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Grantors and the Administrative Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in 25 509265-2041-31480247.14

part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action. 9.4 [Reserved]. 9.5 [Reserved]. 9.6 [Reserved]. 9.7 No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders required under Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies contained in this Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties until the Obligations have been paid in full. 9.8 Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law or the Intercreditor Agreement (so long as the Intercreditor Agreement is in effect), and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law and the Intercreditor Agreement (so long as the Intercreditor Agreement is in effect) that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in any this Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable. 9.9 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 26 509265-2041-31480247.14

9.10 Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, hereunder. 9.11 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. 9.12 Expenses. The Grantors shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for its expenses in accordance with Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement, the terms of which shall apply as if each Grantor were the Borrower thereunder. Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors. 9.13 Headings. The headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 9.14 Termination. This Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Obligations outstanding) until (i) the Credit Agreement has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than indemnification or reimbursement obligations under Sections 2.18, 2.19(a), 2.19(d) or 2.20 of the Credit Agreement for which the Borrower has not been notified and contingent indemnification obligations, Banking Services Obligations and Secured Swap Obligations) shall have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent). 9.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Grantors and the Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral. 9.16 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. (b) Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof (and, to the extent necessary to enforce the Secured Parties’ rights under the Loan Documents, courts where Collateral may be located or deemed to be located and any appellate court thereof), in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court; provided, that nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document will prevent any Lender or the Administrative Agent from bringing any action to enforce any award or judgment or exercise any right under the Security Documents or against any 27 509265-2041-31480247.14

Collateral or any other property of any Grantor in any other forum in which jurisdiction can be established. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Lenders or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Grantors or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. (c) Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 9.20 Severability.
