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

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

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

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

At any time after the Closing Date, the Company may elect (by written notice to the Administrative Agent) to change its financial reporting (both hereunder and for its audited financial statements generally) from GAAP to International Financial Reporting Standards (as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee and/or adopted by the European Union (“IFRS”)), as in effect from time to time, in which case all references herein to GAAP (except for historical financial statements theretofore prepared in accordance with GAAP) shall instead be deemed references to the IFRS and the related accounting standards as shown in the first set of audited financial statements prepared in accordance therewith and delivered pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, if the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that the Company requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring

-50-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

as a result of the adoption of IFRS or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as otherwise required above (and without regard to this sentence) until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 000-00-00 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company or any Subsidiary at “fair value,” as defined therein and (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.

Section 1.5 Rounding

Any financial ratios required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

Section 1.6 Certifications

All certifications to be made hereunder by an officer or representative of the Borrower shall be made by such person in his or her capacity solely as an officer or a representative of the Borrower, on the Borrower’s behalf and not in such Person’s individual capacity.

Section 1.7 Rates

Neither Agent warrants or accepts any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. Each Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. Each Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

SECTION II AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS

Section 2.1 Revolving Credit Commitments

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from time to time during the Availability Period:

(i) each Tranche A Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars (each such loan, a “Tranche A Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding that will not result in:

(A) the sum of such Xxxxxx’s Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitment, or

(B) the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments, or

(D) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Line Cap at such time; and

(ii) each Tranche B Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars (each such loan, a “Tranche B Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding that will not result in

(A) the sum of such Xxxxxx’s Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment, or

(B) the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments, or

(D) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Line Cap at such time.

(b) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the Availability Period. The outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall constitute Obligations and shall be due and payable (i) with respect to any Short-Term Borrowing, on the relevant Short-Term Borrowing Repayment Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they otherwise become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) otherwise, on the Latest Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they otherwise become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, each of the Collateral Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) at any time, in the exercise of their

-52-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

respective Permitted Discretion, to establish and increase or decrease Eligible Reserves against the Non-Residential Borrowing Base and/or the Residential Borrowing Base.

(d) Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, each Loan made hereunder (including any Extraordinary Advance) shall (i) consist of a Borrowing of both Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans, and (ii) be deemed apportioned (and registered) into a Tranche A Loan and a Tranche B Loan, in each case, on a ratable basis among the Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments and the Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments, to the extent that, as a result of such Borrowing, on a pro forma basis, the conditions of Section 2.1(a) are met. If the full amount of Loans to be drawn pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence cannot be drawn without violating the conditions set forth therein with respect to a Tranche (the “Affected Tranche”), the maximum amount available shall be drawn under the Affected Tranche and the remainder (the “Tranche Deficit”) shall be drawn under the other Tranche (the “Non-Affected Tranche”) to the extent that, as a result of the Borrowing of such Tranche Deficit, on a pro forma basis, the conditions of Section 2.1(a) are met.

(e) Within each Borrowing of Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans, such Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments under the initial Class of Revolving Credit Commitments under such Tranche and any Extended Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments extended therefrom.

Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures and Settlements

(a) Procedure for Borrowing Revolving Credit Loans. Each Borrowing shall be made by delivery of a Borrowing Request executed by a Responsible Officer to the Funding Agent (which may be delivered through the Funding Agent’s electronic platform or portal), which shall be received by the Funding Agent no later than (i) 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day that is one Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date in the case of a request for a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day that is three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date in the case of a request for a SOFR Loan. Each Borrowing Request shall specify (A) the amount of such Borrowing, (B) the requested Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) whether such Borrowing shall be a Short-Term Borrowing or a Long-Term Borrowing. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.3, Short-Term Borrowings can be drawn to repay other Short-Term Borrowings. All Borrowing Requests which are not made on-line via the Funding Agent’s electronic platform or portal shall be subject to (and unless the Funding Agent elects otherwise in the exercise of its sole discretion, such Borrowings shall not be made until the completion of) the Funding Agent’s authentication process (with results satisfactory to the Funding Agent) prior to the funding of any such requested Revolving Credit Loan.

(b) Making of Revolving Credit Loans.

(i) After receipt of a Borrowing Request pursuant to Section 2.2(a), the Funding Agent shall notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, email, or other electronic form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing; such notification to be sent on the Business Day or U.S. Government Securities Business Day, as applicable, that is (A) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date, or (B) in the case of a SOFR Loan, prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date. If the Funding Agent has notified the Lenders of a requested Borrowing on the Business Day that is one Business Day prior to the Funding Date, then each Lender shall make the amount of such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Funding Agent in immediately available funds, to the Funding Agent’s Account, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business

-53-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

Day that is the requested Funding Date. After the Funding Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans from the Lenders, the Funding Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to the Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by the Funding Agent to the Borrower Account designated by the Borrower for such purpose; provided, that subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(c)(ii), no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Revolving Credit Loan, if (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section IV will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would cause (i) the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed the Residential Line Cap at such time, or (ii) the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed the Non-Residential Line Cap at such time, as applicable.

(ii) Unless the Funding Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date relative to a requested Borrowing as to which the Funding Agent has notified the Lenders of a requested Borrowing that such Xxxxxx will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Funding Agent for the account of the Borrower the amount of that Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Funding Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to the Funding Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and the Funding Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If, on the requested Funding Date, any Lender shall not have remitted the full amount that it is required to make available to the Funding Agent in immediately available funds and if the Funding Agent has made available to the Borrower such amount on the requested Funding Date, then such Lender shall make the amount of such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Funding Agent in immediately available funds, to the Funding Agent’s Account, no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is the first Business Day after the requested Funding Date (in which case, the interest accrued on such Xxxxxx’s portion of such Borrowing for the Funding Date shall be for the Funding Agent’s separate account). If any Lender shall not remit the full amount that it is required to make available to the Funding Agent in immediately available funds as and when required hereby and if the Funding Agent has made available to the Borrower such amount, then that Lender shall be obligated to immediately remit such amount to the Funding Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day until the date on which such amount is so remitted. A notice submitted by the Funding Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.2(b)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If the amount that a Lender is required to remit is made available to the Funding Agent, then such payment to the Funding Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Funding Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, the Funding Agent will notify the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Funding Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Funding Agent for the Funding Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Credit Loans composing such Borrowing.

(i) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding (but subject to Section 2.2(c)(iii)), at any time (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section IV are not satisfied, each of the Collateral Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent are hereby authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time, in their sole discretion, to instruct the Funding Agent to make Revolving Credit Loans to, or for the

-54-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

benefit of, the Borrower, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, that each of the Collateral Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent, in their respective Permitted Discretion, deem necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Cash Management Obligations) or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, expenses and fees (the Revolving Credit Loans described in this Section 2.2(c)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that the Funding Agent shall not make any Protective Advance to the extent that at the time of the making of such Protective Advance, (A) the amount of such Protective Advance (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Protective Advances made to the Borrower at such time, would exceed 5.0% of the Aggregate Borrowing Base at such time or (II) when added to the Total Revolving Credit Exposure then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Protective Advance), would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments at such time; (B)(I) with respect to Protective Advances that are Tranche B Loans, the amount of such Protective Advance (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Protective Advances that are Tranche B Loans at such time, would exceed 5.0% of the Non-Residential Borrowing Base at such time or (II) when added to the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Protective Advance), would exceed the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure at such time; or (C) with respect to Protective Advances that are Tranche A Loans, the amount of such Protective Advance (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Protective Advances that are Tranche A Loans at such time, would exceed 5.0% of the Residential Borrowing Base at such time or (II) when added to the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Protective Advance), would exceed the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure at such time. If there is a disagreement among the Collateral Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent as to the size of any Protective Advance, the most restrictive (with respect to the Borrower) position shall control.

(ii) Each Protective Advance (each, an “Extraordinary Advance”) shall be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder, except that no Extraordinary Advance shall be eligible to be a SOFR Loan. Prior to Settlement of any Extraordinary Advance, all payments with respect thereto, including interest thereon, shall be payable to the Funding Agent solely for its own account. Subject to Section 2.1(d) hereof, each Revolving Lender shall be obligated to settle with the Funding Agent as provided in Section 2.2(d) for the amount of such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of any Extraordinary Advance. The Extraordinary Advances shall be repayable on demand by the Administrative Agent or the Funding Agent, secured by the Collateral Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans. The provisions of this Section 2.2(c) are for the exclusive benefit of the Funding Agent and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit the Borrower (or any other party) in any way.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Extraordinary Advance may be made by the Funding Agent if (A) such Extraordinary Advance would cause the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Aggregate Line Cap, (B) with respect to any Extraordinary Advance that is a Tranche B Loan, such Extraordinary Advance would cause the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed the Total Tranche B Revolving Commitment, and (C) with respect to any Extraordinary Advance that is a Tranche A Loan, such Extraordinary Advance would cause the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed the Total Tranche A Revolving Commitment.

(d) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Credit Loans is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving

-55-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

Credit Loans. Such agreement notwithstanding, the Funding Agent and the Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of the Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Revolving Credit Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) The Funding Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Funding Agent in its sole discretion (1) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Extraordinary Advances, and (2) with respect to the Borrower’s payments or other amounts received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.2(f)): (y) if the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then the Funding Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a deposit account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Extraordinary Advances), and (z) if the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to the Funding Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Extraordinary Advances). Such amounts made available to the Funding Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Extraordinary Advances and shall constitute Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the Funding Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, the Funding Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.

(ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, the Funding Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by the Funding Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by the Borrower and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.

(iii) Between Settlement Dates, the Funding Agent, to the extent Extraordinary Advances are outstanding, may pay over to the Funding Agent any payments or other amounts received by the Funding Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Credit Loans, for application to the Extraordinary Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Funding Agent with respect to Extraordinary Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans other than Extraordinary Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under

-56-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed the Funding Agent or the Lenders, as applicable.

(iv) Anything in this Section 2.2(d) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Funding Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 2.2(f).

(v) Notation. Consistent with Section 9.4(b)(iv), the Funding Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for the Borrower, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount and stated interest of the Revolving Credit Loans, owing to each Lender, and Extraordinary Advances owing to the Funding Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such register shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate.

(e) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(b)(iii), the Funding Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by the Borrower to the Funding Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, the Funding Agent shall transfer any such payments (A) first, to the Funding Agent to the extent of any Extraordinary Advances that were made by the Funding Agent and that were required to be, but were not, paid by Defaulting Lender, (B) second, to each Non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of a Revolving Credit Loan (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other Non-Defaulting Lender), (C) third, in the Funding Agent’s sole discretion, to a suspense account maintained by the Funding Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by the Funding Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of the Borrower (upon the request of the Borrower and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.3) as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Revolving Credit Loans (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (D) fourth, from and after the date on which all other Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (L) of Section 2.3(b)(iii). Subject to the foregoing, the Funding Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by the Funding Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Share in connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fee payable under Section 2.9(a), such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed to be zero; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any of the matters governed by Section 9.4(b)(i)(1) through (3). The provisions of this Section 2.2(e) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (y) the date on which all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall have waived, in writing, the application of this Section 2.2(e) to such Defaulting Lender, or (z) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to the Funding Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder (on which earlier date, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any remaining cash collateral held by the Funding Agent pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(ii) shall be released to the Borrower). The operation of this Section 2.2(e) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by the Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to the Agents or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle the Borrower, at its option, upon written notice to the

-57-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

Administrative Agent, to arrange for a substitute Xxxxxx to assume the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to the extent that consent by the Administrative Agent for an assignment would be required pursuant to Section 9.4. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Xxxxxx, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Assumption in favor of the substitute Xxxxxx (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Cash Management Obligations, but including all interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof); provided, that any such assumption of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Agent’s, Xxxxxxx’ or Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.2(e) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.2(e) shall control and govern.

(f) Independent Obligations. All Revolving Credit Loans (other than Extraordinary Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Credit Loan (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.

Section 2.3 Payments; Reductions of Commitments; Prepayments.

(a) Payments by the Borrower.

(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Funding Agent’s Account for the account of the Lenders and/or the Agents and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Funding Agent in immediately available funds in the Funding Agent’s Account later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been received (unless the Funding Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received) on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day.

(ii) Unless the Funding Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Funding Agent may assume that the Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to the Funding Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Funding Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower does not make such payment in full to the Funding Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to the Funding Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

(b) Apportionment and Application.

-58-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

(i) So long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders, (A) all principal and interest payments received by the Funding Agent shall be apportioned (i) (x) first to any Non-Affected Tranche to the extent of any Tranche Deficit then outstanding following the application of Section 2.1(d), then (y) ratably among the Lenders holding Revolving Credit Loans of different Tranches (to the extent of Revolving Credit Loans of each Tranche outstanding), (ii) ratably among each Tranche and any Extended Classes arising from such Tranche as the Originating Class, and (iii) in each case, within each Class, ratably among the Lenders holding Revolving Credit Loans of such Class (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and (B) all payments of fees and expenses received by the Funding Agent (other than fees or expenses that are for the Funding Agent’s separate account) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments or Obligations to which a particular fee or expense relates.

(ii) Subject to Section 2.3(b)(v) and Section 2.3(e), all payments to be made hereunder by the Borrower shall be remitted to the Funding Agent and all such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by any Agent, shall be applied, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders, to reduce the balance of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding and, thereafter, to the Borrower (to be wired to the Borrower Account designated for such purpose) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

(iii) At any time that an Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all payments remitted to the Funding Agent and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Funding Agent shall be applied as follows:

(A) first, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to any Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,

(B) second, to pay any fees or premiums then due to any Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,

(1) payments, collections and proceeds from Residential Accounts shall be applied to pay interest due in respect of Protective Advances that are Tranche A Loans, until paid in full,

(2) payments, collections and proceeds from Non-Residential Accounts shall be applied to pay interest due in respect of Protective Advances that are Tranche B Loans, until paid in full,

(D) fourth,

(vii) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.3(b) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it it’s the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, if the conflict relates to the provisions of Section 2.2(f) and this Section 2.3(b), then the provisions of Section 2.2(f) shall control and govern, and if otherwise, then the terms and provisions of this Section 2.3(b) shall control and govern.

(c) Reduction of Commitments. The Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments and the Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date applicable thereto or earlier termination thereof pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Borrower may reduce the Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments or the Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments (on a pro rata basis together with any Extended Classes arising from such Tranche as the Originating Class) to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (A) the Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure or the Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure, as applicable, as of such date, plus (B) the principal amount of all Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans, as applicable, not yet made as to which a request has been given by the Borrower under Section 2.2(a). Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is not less than $500,000 (unless the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments of a particular Class are being reduced to zero and the amount of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to such reduction are less than $500,000), shall be made by providing not less than ten Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, and shall be irrevocable. The Revolving Credit Commitments, once reduced, may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments or the Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments shall reduce the Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments or the Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments of each Tranche A Lender or Tranche B Lender, as applicable, proportionately in accordance with its ratable share thereof. In connection with any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments prior to the Latest Maturity Date, if the Borrower owns any Margin Stock, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated Form U-1 (with sufficient additional originals thereof for each Lender), duly executed and delivered by the Borrower, together with such other

-61-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, in order to enable the Agents and the Lenders to comply with any of the requirements under Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors.

(e) Mandatory Prepayments. If, at any time, (i) Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Line Cap, (ii) the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Residential Line Cap, or (iii) the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Non-Residential Line Cap, then the Borrower shall promptly, but in any event, within one Business Day prepay the Obligations of the affected Tranche(s) in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such excess; provided that, if a prepayment of Tranche B Loans is required as a result of the Aggregate Excess Availability condition for the applicability of the Government Receivables Basket not being met, the amount of Tranche B Loans to be prepaid shall be determined so that after giving pro forma effect to such prepayment, such condition is satisfied.

(f) Application of Payments. Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.3(e) shall, (1) so long as no Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied to the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Revolving Credit Loans until paid in full, and (2) if an Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.3(b)(iii). Subject to Section 2.1(d), all payments shall be deemed apportioned on a ratable basis among Tranches.

Section 2.4 Promise to Pay; Notes.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay the Lender Group Expenses not later than the applicable date required by Section 9.3(d). The Borrower promises to pay all of the Obligations (including principal, interest, premiums, if any, fees, costs, and expenses (including Lender Group Expenses)) in full on the Maturity Date applicable thereto or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations (other than the Cash Management Obligations) become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that its obligations contained in the first sentence of this Section 2.4(a) shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.

(b) Any Lender may request that any portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments or the Revolving Credit Loans made by it be evidenced by one or more Notes. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender the requested Notes payable to the order of such Lender in the form of Exhibit E hereof. Thereafter, the portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans evidenced by such promissory notes and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein.

Section 2.5 Interest Rates: Rates, Payments, and Calculations

(a) Interest Rates. Subject to Section 9.17, each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; each SOFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans.

(b) Default Rate. If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Loan, or (ii) any interest payable thereon or any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall automatically bear interest at a rate per annum that is (A) in the case of overdue principal of any Revolving Credit Loan, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2.00% per annum, (B) in the case of any other overdue amount, including overdue interest, the highest rate described in Section 2.5(a) plus 2.00% per annum, in

-62-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

each case, from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(c) Payment. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in Section 2.9, (i) all interest and all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable, in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date, and (ii) all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all other Lender Group Expenses shall be due and payable on (x) with respect to Lender Group Expenses outstanding as of the Closing Date, the Closing Date, (y) with respect to Lender Group Expenses outstanding as of the Effective Date, the Effective Date, and (z) otherwise, on the date the payment of the applicable costs, expenses or Lender Group Expenses is required pursuant to Section 9.3(d). The Borrower hereby authorizes the Funding Agent, from time to time without prior notice to the Borrower, to charge to the Loan Account (A) on each Interest Payment Date, all interest accrued during the prior Interest Period on the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, and (B) as and when incurred or accrued, all fees and costs provided for in Section 2.9(b) or (d), (C) on the fifth (5th) day of each January, April, July and October of each year, and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the last Business Day of the first full Fiscal Quarter ending after the Effective Date, the Commitment Fee accrued during the prior Fiscal Quarter pursuant to Section 2.9(a), (D) as and when due and payable, all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, (E) on the Closing Date and thereafter as and when due and payable pursuant to Section 9.3(d), all other Lender Group Expenses, and (F) as and when due and payable, all other payment obligations payable under any Loan Document or any agreement documenting Cash Management Obligations due and payable to Qualified Counterparties. Unless timely paid in accordance herewith (including any applicable cure period under Section 7.1), all amounts (including interest, fees, costs, expenses, Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any agreement documenting Cash Management Obligations) charged to the Loan Account shall thereupon constitute Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, shall constitute Obligations hereunder, and shall initially accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans (unless and until converted into SOFR Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

(d) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate.

(e) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. The Borrower and the Credit Parties, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, that anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, the Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment received from the Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

(f) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Funding Agent (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The

-63-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

Funding Agent will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Section 2.6 Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by the Funding Agent shall not be required to be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available funds made to the Funding Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then the Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by the Funding Agent only if it is received into the Funding Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time). If any payment item is received into the Funding Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day (unless the Funding Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received), it shall be deemed to have been received by the Funding Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.

Section 2.7 Designated Account. The Funding Agent is authorized to make the Revolving Credit Loans based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be a Responsible Officer or, without instructions, if pursuant to Section 2.5(c). The Borrower agrees to establish and maintain a Controlled Account designated for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrower and made by the Funding Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by the Funding Agent and the Borrower, any Revolving Credit Loan requested by the Borrower and made by the Funding Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to such designated account.

Section 2.8 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. The Funding Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the Borrower (the “Loan Account”) on which the Borrower will be charged with all Revolving Credit Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) made by the Funding Agent or the Lenders to the Borrower or for the Borrower’s account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.6, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by the Funding Agent from Borrower or for the Borrower’s account. The Funding Agent shall make available to the Borrower monthly statements regarding the Loan Account, including the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, interest accrued hereunder, fees accrued or charged hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and a summary itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses accrued hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and each such statement, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between the Borrower and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after the Funding Agent first makes such a statement available to the Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver to the Funding Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in such statement.

Section 2.9 Fees

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Funding Agent for the account of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lenders) in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, a commitment fee for the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have expired or terminated) equal to the Commitment Fee Rate divided by 360 days and multiplied by the number of days in the Fiscal Quarter and then multiplied by the amount, if any, by which the Average Facility Balance for such Fiscal Quarter (or portion thereof that the Revolving Credit Commitments are in effect) is less than the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that if the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated on a day other than the first day of a Fiscal Quarter, then any such fee payable for the Fiscal

-64-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

Quarter in which termination shall occur shall be paid on the effective date of such termination and shall be based upon the number of days that have elapsed during such period. All Commitment Fees shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent fees with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility described in the Fee Letter.

(c) Co-Collateral Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Co-Collateral Agent for its own account, the fees with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility described in the Co-Collateral Agent Fee Letter.

(d) Ticking Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Funding Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, a ticking fee for the period from July 9, 2024 to but excluding the earlier of the date that the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated and the Effective Date, equal to the Ticking Fee Rate divided by 360 days and multiplied by the number of days in such period. Accrued Ticking Fees shall be payable on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated, or (ii) the Effective Date.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Funding Agent for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees and Ticking Fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (except as otherwise expressly agreed).

Section 2.10 SOFR Option.

(a) Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, the Borrower shall have the option, subject to Section 2.11(b) below (the “SOFR Option”) to have interest on all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Loans be charged (whether at the time when made (unless otherwise provided herein), upon conversion from a Base Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan, or upon continuation of a SOFR Loan as a SOFR Loan) at a rate of interest based upon Term SOFR. Interest on SOFR Loans shall be payable on (i) each Interest Payment Date, (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. On each Interest Payment Date, unless the Borrower have properly exercised the SOFR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such SOFR Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that Revolving Credit Loans bear interest at a rate based upon Term SOFR.

(b) SOFR Election.

(i) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the SOFR Option by notifying the Funding Agent prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “SOFR Deadline”). Notice of the Borrower’s election of the SOFR Option for a permitted portion of the Revolving Credit Loans and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to the Funding Agent of a SOFR Notice received by the Funding Agent before the SOFR Deadline. Promptly upon its receipt of each such SOFR Notice, the Funding Agent shall provide a notice thereof to each of the affected Lenders.

-65-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

(ii) Each SOFR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In connection with each SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Funding Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by the Funding Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment or required assignment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on an Interest Payment Date, or (C) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any SOFR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”).

(iii) A certificate of the Funding Agent or a Lender delivered to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that the Funding Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such amount to the Funding Agent or the Lender, as applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate.

(iv) Unless the Funding Agent, in its sole discretion, agrees otherwise, the Borrower shall have not more than ten SOFR Loans of each Tranche in effect at any given time. The Borrower may only exercise the SOFR Option for proposed SOFR Loans of at least $1,000,000.

(c) Conversion; Prepayment. The Borrower may convert SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans or prepay SOFR Loans at any time; provided, that in the event that SOFR Loans are converted or prepaid on any date that is not an Interest Payment Date, including as a result of any prepayment through the required application by the Funding Agent of any payments or proceeds of Collateral in accordance with Section 2.3(b) or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, the Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Funding Agent and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(ii).

(d) Special Provisions Applicable to Term SOFR.

(i) Term SOFR may be adjusted by the Funding Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs (including any Taxes, other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes), in each case, due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, or pursuant to any Change in Law or change in the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at Term SOFR. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give the Borrower and the Funding Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and the Funding Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, the Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (A) require such Lender to furnish to the Borrower a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for adjusting Term SOFR and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (B) repay the SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans determined with reference to Term SOFR, in each case, of such Lender with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.10(b)(ii)).

(ii) Subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.10(d)(iii) below, in the event that any change in market conditions or any Change in Law shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain SOFR Loans (or Base Rate Loans determined with reference to Term SOFR) or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the Term SOFR

-66-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

Reference Rate, Term SOFR or SOFR, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to the Funding Agent and the Borrower, and the Funding Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y)(i) in the case of any SOFR Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, such SOFR Loans of such Lender will be deemed to have been converted Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period of such SOFR Loans, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans, and thereafter interest upon the SOFR Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans (and if applicable, without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof) and (ii) in the case of any such Base Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding and that are determined with reference to Term SOFR, interest upon the Base Rate Loans of such Lender after the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof and (z) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the SOFR Option and Base Rate Loans shall not be determined with reference to the Term SOFR component thereof, in each case, until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.

(iii) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(A) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Funding Agent (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.10(d)(iii) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

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

(C) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (1) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (2) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Funding Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.10(d)(iii)(D) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Funding Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.10(d)(iii), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion

-67-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.10(d)(iii).

(D) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (1) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Funding Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Xxxxxxxxx has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Funding Agent (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (2) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (1) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Funding Agent (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(E) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (1) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (2) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(e) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Reference Rate.

Section 2.11 Capital Requirements.

(a) If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) any Change in Law regarding capital, liquidity or reserve requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or (ii) compliance by such Lender, or its respective parent bank holding company, with any guideline, request or directive of any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s, or its holding company’s capital or liquidity as a consequence of such Xxxxxx’s commitments, Loans, participations or other obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender, or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s, or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender

-68-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

may notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, the Borrower agrees to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Xxxxxx’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Change in Law giving rise to such reductions and of such Xxxxxx’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further, that if such claim arises by reason of the Change in Law that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in Section 2.10(d)(i) or amounts under Section 2.11(a) or sends a notice under Section 2.10(d)(ii) relative to changed circumstances (such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then, at the request of the Borrower, such Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10(d)(i) or Section 2.11(a), as applicable, or would eliminate the illegality or impracticality of funding or maintaining SOFR Loans (or Base Rate Loans determined with reference to Term SOFR), and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. If, after such reasonable efforts, such Affected Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices or assign its rights to another of its offices or branches so as to eliminate the Borrower’s obligation to pay any future amounts to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(d)(i) or Section 2.1(a), as applicable, or to enable the Borrower to obtain SOFR Loans (or Base Rate Loans determined with reference to Term SOFR), then the Borrower (without prejudice to any amounts then due to such Affected Lender under Section 2.10(d)(i) or Section 2.11(a), as applicable) may, unless prior to the effective date of any such assignment the Affected Lender withdraws its request for such additional amounts under Section 2.10(d)(i) or Section 2.11(a), as applicable, or indicates that it is no longer unlawful or impractical to fund or maintain SOFR Loans (or Base Rate Loans determined with reference to Term SOFR), may designate or substitute a Lender or prospective Lender, in each case, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (to the extent that consent by the Administrative Agent for an assignment would be required pursuant to Section 9.4) to purchase the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and such Affected Lender’s commitments hereunder (a “Replacement Lender”), and if such Replacement Lender agrees to such purchase, such Affected Lender shall assign to the Replacement Lender its Obligations and commitments, and upon such purchase by the Replacement Lender, which such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” (as the case may be) for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” (as the case may be) for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the protection of Sections 2.10(d) and 2.11 shall be available to each Lender (as applicable) regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, judicial ruling, judgment, guideline, treaty or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, so long as it shall be customary for lenders affected thereby to comply therewith. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of

-69-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.

Section 2.12 Reallocation of Commitments.

(a) Reallocation Mechanism. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.12, the Borrower may request that certain Revolving Lenders (and such Revolving Lenders in their individual sole discretion may agree to) change the then current allocation of each such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments among the Tranches in order to effect an increase or decrease in the Revolving Credit Commitments of a particular Tranche, with any such increase or decrease in Revolving Credit Commitments for one Tranche to be accompanied by a concurrent and equal decrease or increase, respectively, in the Revolving Credit Commitments for the other Tranche (each, a “Reallocation”). In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 2.12(b), any such Reallocation shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the Borrower shall have provided to the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent a written request (in reasonable detail) at least 15 Business Days prior to the requested effective date therefor (which effective date must be a Business Day) (the “Reallocation Date”) setting forth the proposed Reallocation Date and the amounts of the proposed Reallocation to be effected, (ii) any such Reallocation shall increase or decrease, as the case may be, the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments in an amount equal to $5,000,000 and in increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent shall have received Reallocation Consents from Revolving Lenders having applicable Revolving Credit Commitments sufficient to effectuate such requested Reallocation, (iv) no more than one Reallocation may be requested in any Fiscal Quarter, (v) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either as of the date of such request or on the Reallocation Date (both immediately before and after giving effect to such Reallocation), (vi) any increase in a Revolving Credit Commitment of one Tranche shall result in a dollar-for-dollar decrease in the Revolving Credit Commitment of the other Tranche, (vii) in no event shall the Revolving Credit Exposure exceed the amount of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, (viii) after giving effect to such Reallocation, no Overadvance would exist or would result therefrom and (ix) at least three Business Days prior to the proposed Reallocation Date, a Responsible Officer of the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent a certificate certifying as to compliance with preceding clauses (v), (vii) and (viii) and demonstrating (in reasonable detail) the calculations required in connection therewith, which certificate shall be deemed recertified on and as of the Reallocation Date.

(b) Reallocation Generally. The Administrative Agent shall promptly inform the Funding Agent and the Revolving Lenders in each of the Tranches of any request for a Reallocation. Each Revolving Lender electing to participate in the Reallocation by decreasing its Revolving Credit Commitments under one Tranche and increasing its Revolving Credit Commitments in the other Tranche in an equal amount shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice of its election and the maximum amount of the respective Revolving Credit Commitment Reallocation to which it would agree (each, a “Reallocation Consent”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to agree to any such Reallocation of its Revolving Credit Commitment (and no consent by any Revolving Lender to any Reallocation on one occasion shall be deemed consent to any future Reallocation by such Revolving Lender), (ii) other than the Revolving Lenders consenting to such Reallocation, no consent of any other Revolving Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the consent of the Required Lenders) shall be required and (iii) the failure of any Revolving Lender to affirmatively consent to participate in any such Reallocation on or prior to the fifth Business Day after its receipt of notice thereof shall be deemed to constitute an election by such Revolving Lender not to participate in such Reallocation. If, at the end of such five Business Day period, the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent receive Reallocation Consents from Revolving Lenders in an aggregate amount greater than or equal to the required reallocation amounts, each such consenting Revolving Lender’s affected Revolving Credit Commitments for the applicable Tranche shall be increased

-70-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

or decreased on a pro rata basis based on the affected Revolving Credit Commitments of the participating Revolving Lenders. If the conditions set forth in Section 2.12, including, without limitation, the receipt of Reallocation Consents within the time period set forth above, are not satisfied on the applicable Reallocation Date (or, to the extent such conditions relate to an earlier date, such earlier date), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower in writing that the requested Reallocation will not be effectuated; provided that (A) the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely (without liability) on the certificate delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.12(a)(ix) in making its determination as to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.12(a)(v), (vii) and (viii), and (B) if the proposed Reallocation cannot be effected because sufficient Reallocation Consents were not received, then the Borrower may elect to consummate such Reallocation in the lesser amount of the Reallocation Consents that were received. On each Reallocation Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Funding Agent, the Revolving Lenders of the affected Tranche and the Borrower, on or before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) by e-mail or other electronic means, of the occurrence of the Reallocation to be effected on such Reallocation Date, the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans held by each such Revolving Lender as a result thereof and the amount of the affected Revolving Credit Commitments of each such Revolving Lender as a result thereof. The respective Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Lender shall thereafter, to the extent applicable, be determined based on such reallocated amounts (subject to any subsequent changes thereto and clause (c) of this Section 2.12), and the Agents and the affected Revolving Lenders shall make such adjustments as the Agents shall deem necessary so that the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of each Revolving Lender equals its Pro Rata Share thereof after giving effect to the Reallocation.

(c) Reallocation of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans. Following a Reallocation of Revolving Credit Commitments, outstanding Revolving Credit Loans shall be reallocated to align the pro rata nature of the Tranches as provided by, and to the extent of, Section 2.1(d) hereof.

(d) Trigger Adjustments. Following a Reallocation of Revolving Credit Commitments, the dollar amounts in (i) clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the definition of “Payment Conditions”, (ii) clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of “Covenant Trigger Event”, (iii) clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of “Liquidity Condition”, and (iv) clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 5.1(d), shall be adjusted on a ratable basis with such Reallocation of Revolving Credit Commitments among Tranches.

Section 2.16 Taxes

(a) All payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable withholding agent shall be required (as determined by such applicable withholding agent in its good faith discretion) by applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes in respect of any such payments, then (i) in the case of deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased by the Borrower as necessary so that after making all such required deductions or withholdings (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16(a)) each Lender (or, in the case of a payment made to any Agent for its own account, the Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make or cause to be made such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay or

-71-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

cause to be paid the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of any Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify any Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by the Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, and unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or Lender, any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such claim and the calculation of the amount of any such payment or liability including, if available, reasonably detailed supporting information, shall be delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or Agent (with a copy to the Funding Agent, as applicable) or by the Funding Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Agent, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall deliver to the Funding 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 Funding Agent.

(e)

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Funding Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Funding Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Funding Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Funding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Funding Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Funding Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

-72-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Funding 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 the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Funding Agent), two of whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, US federal withholding Tax pursuant to such Tax treaty;

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

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no payments under any Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Xxxxxx’s conduct of a US trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

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

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Funding 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 the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Funding Agent), two executed copies of any other documentation prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in US federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Funding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction, if any, required to be made; and

(D) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to US federal withholding Tax imposed pursuant to FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with any requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Funding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times

-73-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Funding Agent, such documentation prescribed by any applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Funding Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Funding Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(e)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) The Funding Agent and any successor thereto shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Funding Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower) (i) if the Funding Agent (or such successor to the Funding Agent) is a U.S. Person, one executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from US federal backup withholding, or (ii) if the Funding Agent (or such successor to the Funding Agent) is not a U.S. Person, (A) one executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable under any Loan Document to the Funding Agent for its own account, and (B) one executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable under any Loan Document to the Funding Agent for the account of any Lender, certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and may be treated as a U.S. Person for purposes of applicable U.S. federal withholding Tax or that it is a “qualified intermediary” and assumes primary withholding responsibility under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code and primary IRS Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding responsibility for payments it receives for the account of others.

(iv) Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Funding Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

(v) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Funding Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Funding Agent pursuant to this Section 2.16(e).

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16(e), no Agent nor any Lender shall be required to deliver any documentation that such Agent or Lender, as applicable, is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) Parties hereto agree that the Loans constitute debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and intend to treat the Loans as not governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4.

(g) If any Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund and shall promptly upon receipt pay over an amount equal to such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, shall promptly repay the amount paid over to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything

-74-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

to the contrary in this Section 2.16(g), in no event will any Agent or such Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16(g) the payment of which would place the Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.16(g) shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the Borrower from contesting or seeking a refund of any Indemnified Taxes after payment thereof has been made in accordance with this Section and each Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to take such steps as the Borrower shall reasonably request to assist the Borrower in contesting or seeking a refund of any Indemnified Taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Credit Party, result in any additional out-of-pocket costs or expenses not reimbursed by the Borrower or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Credit Party.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

Section 2.17 [Reserved]

Section 2.18 Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If (i) any action to be taken by the Lenders or Agents hereunder requires the consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby and if such action has received the consent, authorization, or agreement of the Required Lenders but not of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby, or (ii) any Lender makes a claim for compensation under Section 2.16, then Borrowers or Agent, upon at least five Business Days prior irrevocable notice, may permanently replace any Lender that failed to give its consent, authorization, or agreement (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) or any Lender that made a claim for compensation (a “Tax Lender”) with one or more Replacement Lenders, and the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder; provided that in the case of any such replacement resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16, such replacement will result in a reduction in such compensation. Such notice to replace the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given.

(b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption, subject only to the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, being repaid in full its share of the outstanding Obligations (without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever, but including (i) all interest, fees and other amounts that may be due in payable in respect thereof, and (ii) Funding Losses). If the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Assumption prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption in the name or and on behalf of the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, and irrespective of whether Agent executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption, the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption. The replacement of any Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall be made

-75-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

(b) So long as no Dominion Period then exists in respect of which the Collateral Agent or the Co-Collateral Agent has delivered notice thereof, the Borrower shall be permitted to withdraw Cash and Cash Equivalents from the Borrower Accounts to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the making of Permitted Payments. If a Dominion Period exists and the Collateral Agent or the Co-Collateral Agent has delivered notice thereof, all collected amounts held in the Controlled Accounts (other than, with respect to Intermediate Accounts, Excluded Amounts) shall be applied as provided in Section 2.21(c).

Revolving Credit Commitments and extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of such Originating Class and (2) at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder which have more than four different maturity dates), (ii) if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer and (iii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing. No more than three Extensions shall be permitted during the life of this Agreement.

The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (an “Extension Amendment”) with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments of each Tranche so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22 (including in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, or to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 9.2(b)).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.22.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, at any time and from time to time following the establishment of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower may offer any Lender of a Class that had been subject to an Extension Amendment (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) who had not elected to participate in such Extension Amendment the right to convert all or any portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments into such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class; provided that (i) such offer and any related acceptance shall be in

-78-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

accordance with such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent; (ii) such additional Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be on identical terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant Lenders) with the existing Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) any Lender which elects to participate in an Extension pursuant to this clause (e) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Extension Amendment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and executed by such Xxxxxx, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (iv) any such additional Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents.

Section 2.23 Increases in Revolving Credit Commitments

(a) Notice. At any time and from time to time, on one or more occasions, the Borrower may (on behalf of itself), by notice to the Administrative Agent, increase the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any then-existing Class with the then Latest Maturity Date (the “Incremental Revolving Facilities”; each such increase, an “Incremental Facility” and the loans or other extensions of credit made thereunder, the “Incremental Loans”).

(b) Ranking. Incremental Facilities will rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Credit Commitments and will be secured by the Collateral by Liens on a pari passu basis to the Liens that secure the Revolving Credit Commitments.

(c) Size and Currency. The aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities on any date commitments with respect thereto are first received, assuming such commitments are fully drawn only on the date of receipt thereof, will not exceed, an amount equal to, the Incremental Amount; provided that if the Incremental Amount is being determined on such date by reference to clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the Incremental Amount by which a specific Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments may be increased shall reference the Borrowing Base applicable to that Tranche. Each Incremental Facility will be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or such lesser minimum amount approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that such amount may be less than such minimum amount or integral multiple amount if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the Incremental Amount at such time. Any Incremental Facility shall be denominated in Dollars.

(d) Incremental Lenders. Incremental Facilities may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender shall have an obligation to make, or provide commitments with respect to, an Incremental Loan) or by any Additional Lender. While existing Lenders may (but are not obligated to unless invited to and so elect) participate in any syndication of an Incremental Facility and may (but are not obligated to unless invited to and so elect) become lenders with respect thereto, the existing Lenders will not have any right to participate in any syndication of, and will not have any right of first refusal or other right to provide all or any portion of, any Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan except to the extent the Borrower and the arrangers thereof, if any, in their discretion, choose to invite or include any such existing Lender (which may or may not apply to all existing Lenders and may or may not be pro rata among existing Lenders). Final allocations in respect of Incremental Facilities will be made by the Borrower together with the arrangers thereof, if any, in their discretion, on the terms permitted by this Section 2.24; provided that the lenders providing the Incremental Facilities will be reasonably acceptable to (i) the Borrower and (ii) the Administrative Agent (except that, in the case of clause (ii), only to the extent such Person otherwise would have a consent right to an assignment of such loans or commitments to such lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

-79-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

(e) Incremental Facility Amendments; Use of Proceeds. Each Incremental Facility will become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower and each Person providing such Incremental Facility and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Amendment. Incremental Amendments may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, advisable or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, will be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Facility and the Incremental Loans evidenced thereby. This Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 9.2 to the contrary. The Borrower may use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) Conditions. The effectiveness of Incremental Facilities under this Agreement will be subject to the following conditions and any other conditions required by the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility of any Class, and measured on the date of the receipt of commitments under (assuming such commitments are fully drawn only on the date of receipt) such Incremental Facility:

(i) no Event of Default (with respect to the Borrower and the Originators) shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; and

(ii) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents will be true and correct in all material respects (except for representations and warranties that are already qualified by materiality, which representations and warranties will be true and correct in all respects) immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the receipt of commitments in respect of such Incremental Facility.

(g) Terms. Each Incremental Amendment will set forth the amount and terms of the relevant Incremental Facility. Each Incremental Facility will be documented as an increase to the applicable Class and shall be on terms identical to those applicable to such Class except with respect to any commitment, arrangement, upfront or similar fees that may be agreed to among the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility.

(h) Adjustments to Revolving Credit Loans. On the effective date of each Incremental Facility, if there are Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay such Revolving Credit Loans (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.11 in connection therewith), and borrow Revolving Credit Loans from the Lender(s) providing such Incremental Revolving Facility, as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to such prepayments and borrowings, all Revolving Credit Loans will be held ratably by the Revolving Lenders (including the Lender(s) providing such Incremental Revolving Facility) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility.

SECTION VIII THE AGENTS

Section 8.1 Appointment

Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints (i) Barclays as the Administrative Agent, as Funding Agent and Collateral Agent, and (ii) Xxxxx Fargo, National Association, as Co-Collateral Agent, respectively of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes such Agents, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Funding Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender (and by entering into an agreement with respect to Cash Management Obligations, each Qualified Counterparty shall be deemed to authorize) hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into each Security Document on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. Each Lender hereby further authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the secured party under each of the Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, neither Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against each such Agent.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that such Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Funding Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent, the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Funding Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, payments and proceeds of Collateral, and related matters, (b) with respect to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, or to take any other action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect, and maintain perfected, the security interests and Liens upon Collateral pursuant to the Loan Documents, (c) with respect to the Funding Agent, make Revolving Credit Loans, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) with respect to the Funding Agent, exclusively

-104-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

receive, apply, and distribute payments as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) with respect to the Collateral Agent, receive, apply and distribute proceeds of the Collateral, (f) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as the relevant Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes, (g) with respect to the Collateral Agent, perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Secured Parties with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (h) incur and pay Lender Group Expenses as any such Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.

Section 8.2 Delegation of Duties

Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 8.3 Exculpatory Provisions

No Agent nor any of its respective Agent-Related Persons shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any other Credit Party (or Qualified Counterparty) for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any officer or director thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of the Borrower or other party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or (iii) responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents or the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any other Credit Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower. No Agent-Related Person shall have any liability to any Credit Party or the Borrower, or any of their respective Affiliates if any request for a Revolving Credit Loan or other extension of credit was not authorized by the Borrower. Each Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law or regulation.

Section 8.4 Reliance by Agents

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice

-105-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all affected Lenders) as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, such Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If any Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders (and, if it so elects, by the Qualified Counterparties) against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all affected Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (and Qualified Counterparties) and all future holders of the Loans.

Section 8.5 Notice of Default or Event of Default

No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower 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, the Collateral Agent and/or the Co-Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all affected Lenders); provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or the Co-Collateral 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 8.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders

Each Lender (and Qualified Counterparty) expressly acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender (or Qualified Counterparty). Each Lender hereby (and by entering into an agreement with respect to Cash Management Obligations, each Qualified Counterparty) represents and warrants to each Agent that: (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) in participating as a Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities laws), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person, any Arranger, any other Lender, or any Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Affiliates and made its own decision to make, acquire or hold its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement, and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender also represents (and by entering into an agreement with respect to Cash Management Obligations, each Qualified Counterparty) that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person, any Arranger or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,

-106-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent hereunder, no Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower that may come into the possession of such Agent or its Agent-Related Persons. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, each Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register, as it is related to the Administrative Agent), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. The motivations of the Agents are commercial in nature and not to invest in the general performance or operations of the Borrower or its Affiliates.

Section 8.7 Indemnification

The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and each other Agent-Related Persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Credit Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 8.8 Each Agent in Its Individual Capacity

Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The other Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into an agreement with respect to Cash Management Obligations, each Qualified Counterparty shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, each Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders (or Qualified Counterparties), and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into an agreement with respect to Cash Management Obligations, each Qualified Counterparty shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver the relevant Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), no Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise

-107-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

the same as though it were not an Agent xxxxxxxxx, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

All payments to be made by the Funding Agent to the Lenders (or Qualified Counterparties) shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Funding Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Funding Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations.

Section 8.9 Successor Agent

(a) Any Agent may resign as an Agent hereunder upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If any Agent shall resign as Agent, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to written approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such successor is a commercial bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $5.0 billion and otherwise may be withheld in the Borrower’s sole discretion, which approval shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent”, “Collateral Agent”, “Funding Agent” or “Co-Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent, as applicable, effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Funding Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has been appointed as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Funding Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such retiring Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, subject to written approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Funding Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Section VIII and of Section 9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

(b) If any Agent or a controlling Affiliate meets any part of the definition of Lender Default (in its capacity as Lender or otherwise), it may be removed by the Borrower or the Required Lenders. The Borrower shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to written approval by the Required Lenders (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent”, “Collateral Agent”, “Funding Agent” or “Co-Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent, as applicable, effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has been appointed as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Funding Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable by the date that is ten days following the Agent’s removal, the Agent’s removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Borrower, subject to written approval by the Required Lenders (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoints a successor agent as provided for above. After any Agent’s replacement as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Funding Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Section VIII and of Section 9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

Section 8.10 Erroneous Payment

-108-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

(a) Each Lender (and each Participant, by its acceptance of a participation) hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the Funding Agent notifies such Lender that the Funding Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Lender (any of the foregoing, a “Payment Recipient”) from the Funding Agent (or any of its Affiliates) were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) and demands the return of such Payment, such Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Funding Agent the amount of any such Payment as to which such a demand was made. A notice of the Funding Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 8.10 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

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

(c) Any Payment required to be returned by a Payment Recipient under this Section 8.10 shall be made in same-day funds in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Funding Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Funding Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. Each Payment Recipient hereby agrees that it shall not assert and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of setoff or recoupment or similar right to any demand by the Funding Agent for the return of any Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(d) The Borrower and each other Subsidiary hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Funding Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Subsidiary except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary; provided that this Section 8.10 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Payment not been made by the Funding Agent.

(e) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Funding Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

US-DOCS\148017393.28

Section 8.11 Withholding Tax

To the extent required by any applicable Law, any Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Funding Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), or if any Taxes paid or payable by the Agent are attributable to a Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.4(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, such Lender shall, within ten days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) from and against all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from any other sources, against any amount due the Agent under this Section 8.11. The agreements in this Section 8.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. For purposes of this Section 8.11, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

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

(d) Platform. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Agents will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) hereunder by posting such materials the Platform.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT-RELATED PERSONS DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.

US-DOCS\148017393.28

Section 9.2 Waivers; Amendments

(a) No failure or delay by an Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereunder or thereunder may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) solely with the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but without the necessity of obtaining the consent of the Required Lenders, other than in the case of clause (1) below, which shall require the consent of each Lender increasing its Revolving Credit Commitments if such increase is effectuated other than pursuant to the provisions under this Agreement specifically permitting increases of commitments without the further approval of Required Lenders (including in connection with a Reallocation pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof)), any such agreement may:

(1) increase the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender, it being understood that (y) a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.3, or (z) the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall not constitute an increase of any Revolving Credit Commitments of any Lender;

(2) reduce or forgive (or have the effect of reducing or forgiving) the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees or premiums payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-Default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders), it being understood that (y) the waiver of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness of principal, and (z) any change in Historical Excess Availability, Historical Average Utilization or any other definition used in the calculation of such rate of interest or fees (or any component definition thereof) shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or any fee for purposes of this clause (2));

(3) postpone (or have the effect of postponing) the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees or premiums payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Credit Commitment; it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.3 or the waiver of any Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a postponement of the

-114-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

scheduled date of payment of principal of any Loan or expiration of any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender;

(4) change Section 2.3(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) or Section 2.21(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or change the application of proceeds provision in Section 6.4 of the Borrower Collateral Agreement; or

(5) (x) contractually subordinate the Obligations hereunder to any other Indebtedness or other obligations or (y) contractually subordinate the Liens securing the Obligations to Liens securing any other Indebtedness or other obligations;

(ii) solely with the written consent of the Supermajority Required Lenders of the respective Class, any such agreement may amend Section 2.1(a)(i) or (ii), as applicable, or increase advance rates or make other modifications to the applicable Borrowing Base (or any constituent definitions to the extent used therein) that have the effect of increasing availability thereunder (including changes in eligibility criteria), it being understood that increases or decreases in Reserves implemented by the Collateral Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent in their Permitted Discretion shall require only the consent of the Collateral Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent;

(iii) solely with the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), any such agreement may:

(1) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.2 or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Supermajority Required Lenders”, or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or grant any consent hereunder;

(2) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 9.14 or in the Borrower Collateral Agreement, release a portion of the Collateral with a fair market value equal to or in excess of $1,000,000; or

(iv) except as otherwise expressly permitted, consent to the assignment of the Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, only the consent of the parties to the Administrative Agent Fee Letter or the Co-Collateral Agent Fee Letter, as applicable, shall be required to amend, modify or supplement their respective terms.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower may enter into Extension Amendments in accordance with Section 2.22 and joinder agreements with respect thereto in accordance with such sections, and such Extension Amendments and joinder agreements may effect such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the existence and the terms of the Extension, as applicable, and will be effective to amend the terms of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents (including to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents with the other Revolving Credit Loans, and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders), in each case, without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

-115-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2 or any other Loan Document, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Collateral Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Agent or Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local requirements of Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes, errors, defects or inconsistencies or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. In addition, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision without further action or consent by any other party; provided that the Required Lenders shall not have objected to such amendment within five Business Days after receiving a copy thereof.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (2) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly and adversely affected Lender that by its terms materially and adversely affects any Defaulting Lender to a greater extent than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

provided, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the affected Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, directly and adversely affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, such Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (ii) no Lender consent is required to effect an Extension Amendment (except as expressly provided in Section 2.22 or in the following clause), and in connection with an Extension Amendment, only the consent of the Lenders that will continue as a Lender in respect of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, subject to such Extension Amendment shall be required for such Extension Amendment.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each other Agent-Related Party (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and related expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of (i) one primary outside legal counsel to the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, (ii) in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional outside legal counsel in each of the United States for each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated, taken as a whole, in each appropriate jurisdiction and (iii) if necessary, one local or foreign legal counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)), which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any such Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (w) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (x) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (y) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower (including any predecessor entities), or any Environmental Liability relating to the Borrower (including any predecessor entities) or (z) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates, their respective creditors or any other Person; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (1) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, (2) arise out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (provided that in the event of such a claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding involving a claim or proceeding brought against any Agent (in its capacity as such) by other Indemnitees, such Agent, as the case may be (in its capacity as such), shall be entitled (subject to the other limitations and exceptions set forth above) to the benefit of the indemnities set forth above), (3) arise from any settlement entered into by any Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties in connection with the foregoing without the Borrower’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or (4) are in respect of indemnification payments made pursuant to Section 8.7, to the extent the Borrower would not have been or was not required to make such indemnification payments directly pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.3(b). This Section 9.3(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc., arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Borrower or any Indemnitee shall assert, and each of the Borrower and each Indemnitee hereby waives, any claim against the Borrower or its Related Parties or any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower and each Indemnitee hereby waive, release and agree not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor; provided that nothing contained in this paragraph shall limit the obligations of the Borrower under Section 9.3(b) in respect of any such damages claimed against the Indemnitees by Persons other than Indemnitees. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 9.3(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(d) All amounts due under this Section 9.3 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower to such Indemnitee for fees, expenses or damages to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 9.4 Successors and Assigns

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.4. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.4) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 9.4, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of:

(A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate or branch of a Lender or an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Eligible Assignee; provided, further, that (x) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent not later than the tenth Business Day following the date a written request for such consent is made and (y) the withholding of consent by the Borrower to any assignment to any Disqualified Lender shall be deemed reasonable (for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligations to determine or notify the Borrower with respect to whether any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Xxxxxx, and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability with respect to any assignment made to a Disqualified Xxxxxx); and

(B) the Administrative Agent;

provided that, with respect to foregoing clause (B), no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required with respect to an assignment to any Person that satisfies clause (i) of the definition of Eligible Assignee; provided, further, any assignment made to a Disqualified Lender shall not be null and void but shall instead be subject to Section 9.4(e).

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

-118-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

(A) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Revolving Credit Commitment or Loans or assignments to a Lender or an Affiliate or branch of a Lender, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless (x) such assignee shall be an existing Lender or (y) each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with (unless waived by the Funding Agent in its sole discretion) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Funding Agent (treating, for purposes of such fee, multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved Funds as a single assignment); and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Company and their Subsidiaries and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including federal and state securities laws.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 9.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits, and subject to the obligations, of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 9.4.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amount (and related interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (with respect to its own Revolving Credit Commitments and Loans only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon

-119-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

reasonable prior notice. No assignment will be effective unless and until the Assignment and Assumption is registered in such Register. This Section 9.4 is intended so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related US Treasury Regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such US Treasury Regulations).

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Xxxxxx and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless such assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.2(b), (c), (d) or 8.7, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable ratable share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full ratable share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(c)

(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than an Excluded Participant (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.2(b)(iii) that

-120-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

adversely affects the Participant; provided, however, in no event shall an Excluded Participant be a Participant. The Borrower agrees that, subject to paragraph (c)(ii) and (c)(iii) of this Section 9.4, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 and subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections including the requirements under Section 2.16(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(e) shall be delivered by the Participant solely to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.4(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Credit Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the US Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended, successor or final version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, including payments of interest and principal, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10(d), 2.11 or 2.16, with respect to any participation sold to such Participant, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to such participation, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the participation.

(iii) A Participant shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(b) as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4.

(iv) Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.10(b) with respect to any Participant.

(v) No participation may be sold to the Borrower, any Affiliate of the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.4 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

-121-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

(i) no assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Xxxxxx as of the date on which the assigning Xxxxxx entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment or participation). Any assignment in violation of this Section 9.4(e)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this Section 9.4(e) shall apply.

(ii) if any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Lender without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, the Borrower may, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Disqualified Lender and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Lender in connection with such Revolving Credit Commitment, and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign (and the signature of such Disqualified Lender shall not be required on any such assignment), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.4), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interest, rights and obligations, in each case, plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall not have any obligation to such Disqualified Lender or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender or accept or consent to any such assignment to itself or any other Person subject to the Borrower’s consent in accordance with Section 9.4).

(iii) Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to request any information, reports or other materials or receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings or inspections attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent or request such meetings or inspections, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisers of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders, all affected Lenders, or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.2); provided that (I) the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Disqualified Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (II) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Disqualified Lender adversely and in a manner that is disproportionate to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Disqualified Lender, and (y) for purposes of voting on any bankruptcy plan, each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such bankruptcy plan, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such bankruptcy plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such bankruptcy plan in accordance with Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the bankruptcy court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(iv) the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce compliance with the provisions hereof

-122-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

relating to Disqualified Xxxxxxx. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.

(f) Any Credit Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.4, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential Information received by it from such Credit Party in accordance with Section 9.12 to the same extent as if it were a Credit Party.

Section 9.5 Survival

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, 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 is outstanding and unpaid is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Credit Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.3 and Section VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the resignation or replacement of any Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.6 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness

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. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agents and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., “PDF” or “TIFF”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or 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

-123-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

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.

Section 9.7 Severability

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.8 Right of Setoff

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be required in connection with customary setoffs in connection with Cash Management Obligations), to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.8 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agent and the Borrower promptly after any such setoff. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise any right of setoff in respect of any Controlled Account other than the Administrative Agent acting in their capacity as such.

such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 9.12 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 9.12), (vii) to the extent that such information is independently developed by it, (viii) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (ix) to the extent such Information (A) becomes available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or (B) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of improper disclosure by any Agent or any Lender or any of their Affiliates or any related parties thereto in violation of any confidentiality obligations owing to the Borrower or any of its affiliates, (x) on a confidential basis to (A) market data collectors, similar services, providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and (xi) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurement. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Related Parties relating to the Borrower, Intermediate SPV, the Servicer, any Originator, or any of their respective businesses and all customer information in relating to any Originator’s customers, including, without limitation, information received from the Borrower or any of its Related Parties pursuant to Section 5.6 and 5.7 of this Agreement, other than any such information that is available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information which shall in no event be less than commercially reasonable care.

Section 9.13 PATRIOT Act

Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

Section 9.14 Release of Liens; Secured Parties

(a) In the event that the Borrower conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise Disposes of all or any portion of any of the Capital Stock or assets of the Borrower to a Person that is not (and is not required hereunder to become) the Borrower in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, the Liens created by the Loan Documents in respect of such Capital Stock or assets shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Capital Stock or assets.

(b) Upon the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination or expiration of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, all Liens created by the Loan Documents shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of Liens created by the Loan Documents (including by way of assignment) shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the

US-DOCS\148017393.28

Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination.

(c) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.8 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and 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 Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. In furtherance of the foregoing, no agreements the obligations under which constitute Cash Management Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such agreement in respect of Cash Management Services shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent, as applicable, under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

Section 9.15 Payments Set Aside

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the relevant Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by such Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

Section 9.16 No Fiduciary Duty

Each Agent, each Lender, and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender Parties”) may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Borrower acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender Parties have assumed any advisory

-127-

US-DOCS\148017393.28

or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Parties have advised, are currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) the Lender Parties are acting solely as principals and not as the agents or fiduciaries of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that the Lender Parties have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 9.17 Interest Rate Limitation

In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. The Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided that anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, the Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment received from the Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

Section 9.18 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions

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

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

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

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

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

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

US-DOCS\148017393.28

Section 9.19 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs

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

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

(b) As used in this Section 9.19, the following terms have the following meanings:

The Collateral Agent may at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing require the Grantor to notify the Account Debtor or counterparty on any Account constituting Collateral of the security interest of the Collateral Agent therein.

6.2 Pledged Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given prior notice to the Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.2(b) (which notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(f) of the Credit Agreement), the Grantor shall be permitted to (i) receive all dividends, interest, principal or other payments or distributions paid or made in respect of the Pledged Securities, to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Capital Stock or Pledged Debt Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding equity interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Collateral, and, if received by the Grantor shall be held for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or instrument of assignment), and (ii) exercise all voting and corporate or other ownership rights with respect to the Pledged Securities; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership right exercised or other action taken which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement or any other

-10-

Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same or which would violate any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given prior notice to the Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to execute its rights pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) (which notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(f) of the Credit Agreement): (i) all rights of the Grantor to receive and retain all dividends, interest, principal or other payments paid or made in respect of the Pledged Securities shall cease and shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, who shall have the sole right to receive any and all dividends, interest, principal or other payments or distributions paid in respect to the Pledged Securities included in the Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.4, (ii) all rights of the Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent which shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice to the Grantor, to transfer all or any portion of the Investment Property included in the Collateral to its name or the name of its nominee or agent or the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank in favor of the Collateral Agent, and the Grantor will, upon request, promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities included in the Collateral registered in the name of the Grantor. In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, without notice to the Grantor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Investment Property included in the Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request, and the Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth herein. All dividends, interest, principal or other payments or distributions received by the Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6.2(b) shall be held for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent promptly following demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent).

(c) Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to the Grantor under this Section 6.2 (i) shall be given in writing (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes Electronically) and (ii) may suspend the rights of the Grantor under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6.2 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(d) The Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by the Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without any other or further instructions from the Grantor, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Collateral Agent.

-11-

US-DOCS\148919012.9

Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if reasonably required). All such Proceeds of Collateral received by the Collateral Agent under this Section 6.3 shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its control (as defined in and subject to Section 9-104 of the New York UCC). All such Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by the Grantor for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.4.

6.4 Application of Proceeds. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement, apply all or any part of the net Proceeds (after deducting out-of-pocket fees and expenses as provided in Section 6.5 below) of Collateral realized through the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account in payment of the Obligations in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting out-of-pocket fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest and Cash Management Obligations but including attorneys’ fees payable under the Credit Agreement) payable to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting (or constituting guarantees of) fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest, Cash Management Obligations and, to the extent payable under clause First, attorneys’ fees) payable to the Secured Parties (including attorneys’ fees payable under the Credit Agreement), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting (or constituting guarantees of) accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Credit Loans, ratably among the holders of such Obligations in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fifth, to the payment of amounts (or constituting guarantees of amounts) then due and payable under Cash Management Obligations for which no Reserve has been taken that are then due and payable and all other Obligations that are then due and payable to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

Last, the balance, if any, after the Discharge of Obligations, to the Grantor or as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of proceeds in the amount agreed upon by the Collateral Agent or by the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

-12-

US-DOCS\148919012.9

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising in connection with Cash Management Services shall be excluded from the application described above if the Collateral Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Collateral Agent may request, from the applicable Qualified Counterparty and the Borrower.

6.5 Code and Other Remedies. (a) Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and (ii) the Collateral Agent’s notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the Grantor, the Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent promptly after written demand therefor, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable Law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by Law referred to below) to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses (other than the defense of payment or performance or the Discharge of Obligations), advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent permitted by applicable Law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or consent to the use by the Grantor of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Collateral Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the Secured Parties, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, it being understood that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.5 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards under the UCC with respect to any disposition of Collateral. Each Secured Party 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 the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold to it absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted. The Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law, at least ten days’ notice to the Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, this procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which the Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at

-13-

US-DOCS\148919012.9

law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, as agent for and 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 Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof and the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and the Grantor shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations Discharged. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any of their rights hereunder. The Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.5, after deducting all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.4 and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of Law, including Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to Indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by each such Person of any rights hereunder.

to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers (including a single potential purchaser) to effect such sale. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a limited number of purchasers (or a single purchaser) were approached. The provisions of this Section 6.5 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

6.6 Remedies for Intellectual Property. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all of the following actions at the same or different times with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the security interest granted hereunder to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the applicable Grantor to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Collateral on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained).

(b) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, the Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantor), to use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, provided that such license shall automatically terminate upon the Discharge of Obligations. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided, however, that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default or the Discharge of Obligations.

6.7 Waiver; Deficiency. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 7. THE COLLATERAL AGENT

7.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) The Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof in its capacity as an officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this

-15-

US-DOCS\148919012.9

Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on its behalf, without notice to or assent by the Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of the Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account constituting Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and record or have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of the Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing the Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of the Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents;

(iv) execute, in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy provided for in Section 6, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral and to give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (5) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (6) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (7) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (8) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Trademark pertains and subject to the covenant set forth in Section 6.6(b)) included in the Collateral, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (9) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to, or consent to any use of cash collateral arising in respect of, or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and the Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the

-16-

US-DOCS\148919012.9

Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that, except as expressly provided in Section 7.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If the Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise this power without first making written demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to comply therewith within a reasonable period of time after such receipt of such written demand.

(c) The reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1 shall be payable by the Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

(d) Each Secured Party, by its authorization of the Collateral Agent’s entering into this Agreement, consents to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any power, right or remedy provided for herein. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the termination of this Agreement.

7.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and unappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (including a material breach of their obligations under the Loan Documents).

7.3 Execution of Financing Statements; Intellectual Property Filings. (a) The Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral and the Assignment in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. The Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the undersigned, whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired by the undersigned or such other description as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines is necessary or advisable. The Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

-17-

US-DOCS\148919012.9

(b) The Collateral Agent is authorized to file with the USPTO or the USCO, as applicable, such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest in each item of Intellectual Property of the Grantor included in the Collateral that is subject to registration or an application to register in the USPTO or the USCO, and naming the Grantor as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party and shall provide written notice to the Grantor prior to filing any such documents.

7.4 Authority of Collateral Agent. The Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Grantor shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

7.5 Qualified Counterparties. No Qualified Counterparty that obtains the benefits of the Security Documents or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions of the Credit Agreement or of the Security Documents, shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action under any Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

SECTION 8. [RESERVED]

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that the Schedules to this Agreement may be amended or supplemented by the Grantor at any time by delivering such amended or supplemented schedule to the Collateral Agent.

9.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or the Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.

9.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

9.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Lender for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Grantor is a party to the extent the Grantor would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Credit

9.6 Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (which consent shall not be required in connection with customary set-offs in connection with Cash Management Obligations), to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (excluding any trust, withholding or other fiduciary account) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the applicable Grantor against any and all obligations of the applicable Grantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.

Each Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent and the Grantor promptly after any such setoff. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise any right of set off in respect of any Controlled Account other than the Collateral Agent acting in their capacity as such.

-19-

US-DOCS\148919012.9

this Agreement or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or 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 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.

9.8 Severability.

The Grantor is (x) a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of a US Person that is a corporation for US federal income tax purposes and (y) a “disregarded entity” within the meaning of US Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3 for US federal income tax purposes.

is a corporation for US federal income tax purposes and (y) a “disregarded entity” within the meaning of US Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3 for US federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

6.1 [Reserved].

6.2 [Reserved].

6.3 Proceeds to be Turned Over to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default under the ABL Credit Agreement (including a “Purchase and Contribution Termination Event” under the Borrower Purchase Agreement) shall occur and be continuing, at the written request of the Collateral Agent, all Proceeds of Collateral received by the Grantor consisting of cash, Cash Equivalents and checks shall forthwith upon receipt by the Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by the Grantor (duly endorsed by the Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if reasonably required). All such Proceeds of Collateral received by the Collateral Agent under this Section 6.3 shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its control (as defined in and subject to Section 9-104 of the New York UCC). All such Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by the Grantor for the Secured Parties) shall, at the election of the Collateral Agent, be held as collateral security for all Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied.

6.4 Application of Proceeds. (a) If an Event of Default under the ABL Credit Agreement (including a “Purchase and Contribution Termination Event” under the Borrower Purchase Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of the net Proceeds (after deducting out-of-pocket fees and expenses as provided in Section 6.5 below) of Collateral realized through the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account in payment of the Secured Obligations.

US-DOCS\148935905.18

Discharge of Obligations), advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent permitted by applicable Law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or consent to the use by the Grantor of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Collateral Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the Secured Parties, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, it being understood that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.5 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards under the UCC with respect to any disposition of Collateral. Each Secured Party 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 the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold to it absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted. The Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law, at least ten days’ notice to the Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, this procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which the Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any lender thereof may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders, as agent for and 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 Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof and the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and the Grantor shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations Discharged. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and

-8-

US-DOCS\148935905.18

demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any of their rights hereunder. The Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, if an Event of Default under the ABL Credit Agreement (including a “Purchase and Contribution Termination Event” under the Borrower Purchase Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.5, after deducting all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by Section 10.1 of the Borrower Purchase Agreement, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 6.4 and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of Law, including Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to Indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by each such Person of any rights hereunder.

(c) In view of the position of the Grantor in relation to the Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Collateral permitted hereunder. The Grantor understands that compliance with the Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Collateral under applicable “blue sky” or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. The Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers (including a single potential purchaser) to effect such sale. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a limited number of purchasers (or a single purchaser) were approached. The provisions of this Section 6.5 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

6.6 Waivers. (a) All rights of Collateral Agent hereunder, and all obligations of the Grantor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, shall not be affected by, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and the Grantor hereby waives all, rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) with respect to, each of the following (whether or not the Grantor has knowledge thereof):

(i) the validity or enforceability of the ABL Credit Agreement, the Borrower Purchase Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the obligations thereunder, or any right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any party thereto;

(iv) any change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Grantor or its Affiliates, and any corresponding restructuring of the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Borrower Purchase Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(v) any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Borrower Purchase Agreement or any other Loan Document or any subordination of the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Borrower Purchase Agreement or any other Loan Document to any other obligations;

(vi) the validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or Lien, the release of any or all collateral securing, or purporting to secure, the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Borrower Purchase Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other impairment of such collateral;

(vii) any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Borrower Purchase Agreement or any other Loan Document(including, without limitation, any collateral, including the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Borrower Purchase Agreement or any other Loan Document) at such time and in such order and in such manner as the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that the Grantor would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions hereof, the Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Grantor under applicable Law; and

-10-

US-DOCS\148935905.18

(viii) any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Grantor as an obligor in respect of the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Borrower Purchase Agreement or any other Loan Document or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the applicable debtor for the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Borrower Purchase Agreement or any other Loan Document, or of any security interest granted by the applicable debtor, whether in a Bankruptcy Event or in any other instance.

(b) In addition the Grantor further waives any and all other defenses, set-offs or counterclaims (other than the defense of payment or performance or the Discharge of Obligations) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it, the Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury.

(c) The Grantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, marshaling, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of nonpayment to or upon itself. Except for notices provided for herein, the Grantor hereby waives notice (to the extent permitted by Law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any collateral securing the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the Collateral. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Grantor, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Person or against any collateral security for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Collateral Agent to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Person or any such collateral security or right of offset, shall not relieve the Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent against the Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

6.7 Deficiency. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 7. THE COLLATERAL AGENT

(ii) [reserved];

(iii) pay or discharge taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance, and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing the Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of the Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents;

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral and to give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) [reserved]; (5) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (6) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (7) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (8) [reserved]; and (9) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to, or consent to any use of cash collateral arising in respect of, or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and the Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the CA Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do.

(b) If the Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default under the ABL Credit Agreement (including a “Purchase and Contribution Termination Event” under the Borrower Purchase Agreement) has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise this power without first making written demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to comply therewith within a reasonable period of time after such receipt of such written demand.

7.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the CA Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the CA Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The CA Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and unappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (including a material breach of their obligations under the Loan Documents).

7.3 Execution of Financing Statements. The Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. The Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the Collateral in this Agreement or such other description as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines is necessary or advisable. The Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

7.4 Authority of Collateral Agent. The Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other CA Secured Parties, be governed by the ABL Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the CA Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Grantor shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

9.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.

9.6 [Reserved].

9.7 Counterparts.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., “PDF” or “TIFF”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or 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 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.

The Grantor is not required to obtain the consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval, registration, authorization or declaration of or with any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party that has not already been obtained or the failure of which to obtain could not reasonably be expected to have a Grantor Material Adverse Effect.

The Grantor hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged LLC Interests are at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then it shall (i) cause the Borrower to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an acknowledgment of the pledge of such Pledged LLC Interests substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto or such other form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the ABL Credit Agreement (including a “Purchase and Sale Termination Event” under the Borrower Purchase Agreement), upon request by the Collateral Agent and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (A) cause the Organization Documents of the Borrower to be amended to provide that such Pledged LLC Interests shall be treated as “securities” for purposes of the UCC and (B) cause such Pledged LLC Interests to become certificated and delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5.5(b) above.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under the ABL Credit Agreement (including a “Purchase and Sale Termination Event” under the Borrower Purchase Agreement) and the Collateral Agent shall have given prior notice to the Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to execute its rights pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) (which notice shall be deemed to have been given (x) if given to the Borrower or (y) immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(f) of the ABL Credit Agreement): (i) all rights of the Grantor to receive and retain all dividends, interest, principal or other payments paid or made in respect of the Pledged LLC Interests shall cease and shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, who shall have the sole right to receive any and all dividends, interest, principal or other payments or distributions paid in respect to the Pledged LLC Interests included in the Collateral and make application thereof to the payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 6.4 (except to the extent of any distributions or dividends permitted to be made under the ABL Credit Agreement), (ii) all rights of the Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent which shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice to the Grantor, to transfer all or any portion of the Pledged LLC Interest in its name or the name of its nominee or agent or the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank in favor of the Collateral Agent, and the Grantor will, upon request, promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged LLC Interests included in the Collateral registered in the name of the Grantor.

All such Proceeds of Collateral received by the Collateral Agent under this Section 6.3 shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its control (as defined in and subject to Section 9-104 of the New York UCC). All such Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by the Grantor for the CA Secured Parties) shall, at the election of the Collateral Agent, be held as collateral security for all Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.4 of the ABL Collateral Agreement.

US-DOCS\149536231.6

6.5 Code and Other Remedies. (a) Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the ABL Credit Agreement (including a “Purchase and Contribution Termination Event” under the Borrower Purchase Agreement), and (ii) the Collateral Agent’s notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the Grantor, the Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent promptly after written demand therefor, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the CA Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable Law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by Law referred to below) to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses (other than the defense of payment or performance or the Discharge of Obligations), advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent permitted by applicable Law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or consent to the use by the Grantor of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Collateral Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the CA Secured Parties, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any CA Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, it being understood that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.5 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards under the UCC with respect to any disposition of Collateral. Each CA Secured Party 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 the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold to it absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted. The Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law, at least ten days’ notice to the Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, this procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which the Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other

-10-

US-DOCS\149536231.6

disposition, the Collateral Agent or any lender thereof may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, as agent for and representative of the CA 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 Collateral Agent on behalf of the CA Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof and the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and the Grantor shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations Discharged. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any CA Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any of their rights hereunder. The Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, if an Event of Default under the ABL Credit Agreement (including a “Purchase and Contribution Termination Event” under the Borrower Purchase Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.5, after deducting all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the CA Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by Section 9.3 of the ABL Credit Agreement, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 6.4 (which, in turn, may be applied in whole or in part in payment of the Obligations of the Borrower under the ABL Credit Agreement, including to the extent permitted under Section 9.3 thereof, to the payment of any remaining reasonable and document out-of-pocket attorney’s fees and disbursements) and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of Law, including Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to Indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other CA Secured Party arising out of the exercise by each such Person of any rights hereunder.

-11-

US-DOCS\149536231.6

among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers (including a single potential purchaser) to effect such sale. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a limited number of purchasers (or a single purchaser) were approached. The provisions of this Section 6.5 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

(i) the validity or enforceability of the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the obligations thereunder, or any right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any party thereto;

(ii) any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the foregoing;

(iii) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other security for the payment of such obligations;

(v) any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any subordination of the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to any other obligations;

(vi) the validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or Lien, the release of any or all collateral securing, or purporting to secure, the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other impairment of such collateral;

-12-

US-DOCS\149536231.6

(vii) any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document(including, without limitation, any collateral, including the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document) at such time and in such order and in such manner as the Collateral Agent and the CA Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that the Grantor would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions hereof, the Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Grantor under applicable Law; and

(viii) any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Grantor as an obligor in respect of the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the applicable debtor for the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or of any security interest granted by the applicable debtor, whether in a Bankruptcy Event or in any other instance.

(b) In addition the Grantor further waives any and all other defenses, set-offs or counterclaims (other than the defense of payment or performance or the Discharge of Obligations) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it, the Borrower or any other Person against any CA Secured Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury.

6.7 Deficiency. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any CA Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 7. THE COLLATERAL AGENT

-13-

US-DOCS\149536231.6

any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on its behalf, without notice to or assent by the Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of the Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of money due constituting Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) [reserved];

(iii) pay or discharge taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance, and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing the Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any CA Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of the Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents;

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral and to give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) [reserved]; (5) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (6) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (7) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (8) [reserved]; and (9) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to, or consent to any use of cash collateral arising in respect of, or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and the Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the CA Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that, except as expressly provided in Section 7.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of

-14-

US-DOCS\149536231.6

attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If the Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default under the ABL Credit Agreement (including a “Purchase and Contribution Termination Event” under the Borrower Purchase Agreement) has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise this power without first making written demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to comply therewith within a reasonable period of time after such receipt of such written demand.

(d) Each CA Secured Party, by its authorization of the Collateral Agent’s entering into this Agreement, consents to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any power, right or remedy provided for herein. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the termination of this Agreement.

7.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other CA Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the CA Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the CA Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any CA Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The CA Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and unappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (including a material breach of their obligations under the Loan Documents).

9.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No act, delay, indulgence or omission of the Collateral Agent, or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default hereunder or under the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Person would otherwise have on any future occasion.
