(3) except as otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $5,000;

(4) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

(5) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(6) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless Issuing Bank has entered into satisfactory arrangements with Borrower or such Lender to eliminate Issuing Bank’s risk or, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, its Fronting Exposure with respect to such Lender.

(iv) Issuing Bank shall not amend any Letter of Credit if Issuing Bank would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (1) Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (2) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi) Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (1) provided to Administrative Agent in Section 9 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 9 included Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (2) as additionally provided herein with respect to Issuing Bank.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of Borrower delivered to Issuing Bank (with a copy to Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Senior Officer of Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by Issuing Bank and Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to Issuing Bank: (1) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (2) the amount thereof; (3) the expiry date thereof; (4) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (5) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (6) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (7) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (8) such other matters as Issuing Bank may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to Issuing Bank (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as Issuing Bank may reasonably require. Additionally, Borrower shall furnish to Issuing Bank and Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Bank will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from Borrower and, if not, Issuing Bank will provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Revolving Loan Lender, Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 4 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower (or the applicable Loan Party) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve (12) month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve (12) month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by Issuing Bank, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Loan Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (1) Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (2) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is thirty (30) days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from Administrative Agent that the Requisite Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from Administrative Agent, any Revolving Loan Lender or Borrower that one (1) or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing Issuing Bank not to permit such extension, or (3) from Borrower directing it, for any reason, not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, Issuing Bank will also deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the date of any payment by Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank through Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse Issuing Bank by such time, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Letter of Credit. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Loan Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing). Any notice given by Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Loan Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Loan Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to Issuing Bank.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from Issuing Bank a Letter of Credit Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Loan Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Revolving Loan Lender funds its Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of Issuing Bank.

(v) Each Revolving Loan Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Advances to reimburse Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Issuing Bank, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (3) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Loan Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing). No such making of a Letter of Credit Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Loan Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or Letter of Credit Advance in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Loan Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Loan Lender such Lender’s Letter of Credit Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if Administrative Agent receives for the account of Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Administrative Agent), Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.08 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Revolving Loan Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower or any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws; or

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any other Loan Party.

Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify Issuing Bank. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of Issuing Bank. Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent, any Administrative Agent-Related Persons nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of Revolving Loan Lenders or Requisite Lenders, as applicable; or (ii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at Law or under any other agreement. None of Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent, any Administrative Agent-Related Persons nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against Issuing Bank, and Issuing Bank may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to Issuing Bank by the beneficiary of a draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral.

(i) Upon the request of Administrative Agent, (1) if Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a Letter of Credit Borrowing, or if, as of the Maturity Date, any Letter of Credit Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations; and (2) if there shall exist any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Loan Lender, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. Section 2.15 and Section 8.02 set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder.

(ii) Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Loan Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, Deposit Accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at EWB. If at any time Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations (or in the case of the above clause (i)(2), the Minimum Collateral Amount), Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay to Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (1) such aggregate outstanding amount (or in the case of the above clause (i)(2), the Minimum Collateral Amount) over (2) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.

(iii) Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral pursuant to the above clause (i)(1), such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse Issuing Bank. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral pursuant to the above clause (i)(2), such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(iv) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure pursuant to the above clause (i)(2) shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) following (1) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (2) the determination by Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.18, the Person providing Cash Collateral and Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations, and provided further that, to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay (i) to Administrative Agent for the sole account of the Issuing Bank, a fronting fee calculated at the rate equal to the greater of (1) 0.15% per annum of the daily amount available to be drawn under each applicable Letter of Credit issued, extended, renewed, or increased by each applicable Issuing Bank, and (2) $500 per annum for each applicable Letter of Credit issued by each applicable Issuing Bank (“Fronting Fees”), and (ii) to Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Loan Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share for each Letter of Credit, an amount calculated at 5.00% per annum for the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (“Exposure Fees” and together with Fronting Fees, “Letter of Credit Fees”). For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (A) due and payable in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (B) computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all outstanding Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(j) Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Issuing Bank. Borrower shall pay directly to Issuing Bank for its own account the customary documentation, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof or any other Loan Document and the terms of Issuer Document, the terms hereof or of such other Loan Document shall control.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Loan Parties. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, another Loan Party, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Loan Parties inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Loan Parties.

(m) Illegality. If, at any time, it becomes unlawful for Issuing Bank to comply with any of its obligations under any Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, as a result of any Sanctions), the obligations of Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit shall be suspended (and all corresponding rights shall cease to accrue) until such time as it may again become lawful for Issuing Bank to comply with its obligations under such Letter of Credit, and Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any losses that Borrower, any other Loan Party may incur as a result.

2.04 Swingline Facility.

(a) Making of Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying on the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to Borrower at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date to, but not including, the Maturity Date or, if earlier, the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.20, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Swingline Commitment; provided, however, unless Borrower has complied with Section 2.19 with respect to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure, if at any time any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the making of Swingline Loans shall be at the sole discretion of the Swingline Lender. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. After giving effect to each Swingline Loan, (i) the Revolving Loan Exposure shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loan Exposure shall not exceed such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and (iii) the outstanding amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment. If at any time the aggregate principal balance of the Swingline Loans then outstanding exceeds the Swingline Commitment, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan Borrowing in the amount of the difference in the manner and pursuant to the terms of Section 2.04(b).

(b) Demands and Repayments; Funding of Participations.

(i) Any outstanding Swingline Loan shall be payable by Borrower not later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the Swingline Payment Date applicable to such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest on such Swingline Loan. If Borrower fails to so repay the Swingline Lender, no Default shall exist hereunder as a result of such failure and the Swingline Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent who shall in turn promptly notify each Revolving Loan Lender of such failure to repay, the amount of the outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest (the “Unpaid Swingline Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Swingline Payment Date in an amount equal to the Unpaid Swingline Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing) and provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Revolving Loan Exposure shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments. Any notice given by the Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Loan Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i) make funds available (and Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) to Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unpaid Swingline Amount not later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(b)(iii), each Revolving Loan Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender.

(iii) With respect to any Unpaid Swingline Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing) or for any other reason, a Default shall be existing hereunder as a result of such failure and Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Swingline Lender a Swingline Repayment Borrowing in the amount of the Unpaid Swingline Amount that is not so refinanced, which Swingline Repayment Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Loan Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Swingline Repayment Borrowing and shall constitute a Swingline Advance from such Revolving Loan Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04.

(iv) Until each Revolving Loan Lender funds its Revolving Loan or Swingline Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) to reimburse the Swingline Lender for any Unpaid Swingline Amount, interest in respect of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender.

(v) Each Revolving Loan Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or Swingline Advances to reimburse the Swingline Lender for any Unpaid Swingline Amount, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(b), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Loan Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (3) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Loan Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing). No such making of a Swingline Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to repay the Swingline Lender for the outstanding principal balance of the Swingline Loan subject to the demand, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Loan Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Loan Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(b) by the time specified in Section 2.04(b)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Loan Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(vii) At any time after the Swingline Lender has made a demand which has not been paid and has received from any Revolving Loan Lender such Revolving Loan Lender’s Swingline Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with this Section 2.04(b), if Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Swingline Lender any payment in respect of the related Unpaid Swingline Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Administrative Agent), Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Loan Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s Swingline Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent.

(viii) If any payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(vii) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.08, each Revolving Loan Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Loan Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Loan Lenders under this clause (viii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Interest on Swingline Loans. All Swingline Loans shall accrue interest from the date made as a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender by such method and to such account or place as the Swingline Lender may from time to time designate in writing and the Swingline Lender shall make the funds of the Swingline Loans directly available to Borrower by such method and to such account or place as Borrower may from time to time designate in writing. To the extent that the Swingline Lender is not Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender shall promptly provide to Administrative Agent such information as it shall reasonably request with respect to the Swingline Loans.

(d) Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of a Swingline Loan shall be made upon irrevocable notice by Borrower to Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the requested date of the proposed Borrowing. Each telephonic notice by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.04(d) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing, appropriately completed and signed by a Senior Officer of Borrower. All Swingline Loans shall be made in a minimum amount of $50,000 and an integral multiple of $10,000 or, if less, in the unused amount of the Swingline Commitment. The proceeds of all Swingline Loans shall be used solely for the purposes described in Section 2.06 for Revolving Loans; provided that, no Swingline Loan shall be used to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan.

2.05 Pro Rata Shares. Each Class of Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders of that Class simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender in such Class shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that Class in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan of that Class requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Loan Commitment of any Lender of a particular Class be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that Class in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan of that Class requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

2.06 Use of Proceeds.

(a) The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used by Borrower to (i) repay amounts outstanding under the Opus Credit Agreement, (ii) pay fees and expenses associated with (x) this Agreement and (y) the repayment of the Opus Credit Agreement and, (iii) pay fees and expenses associated with the amendments to the Praesidian Facility being entered into on the Closing Date, (iv) partially fund the Acquisition of the Target Company, (v) pay fees and expenses associated with the Acquisition of the Target Company and (vi) pay fees and expenses associated with the equity issuance of Parent to the seller of the Target Company pursuant to the Target Acquisition Agreement.

(b) The proceeds of the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Facility shall be used by Borrower for general corporate purposes; provided however, such proceeds shall not be used in connection with any of the uses identified in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2.06.

2.07 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Class of Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be prima facie evidence of the matters set forth therein, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loan; and provided further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b) Notes. The obligation of Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans, Term Loans, and Swingline Loans made to Borrower by each Lender, together with interest thereon, shall, at the request of the applicable Lender, be evidenced by a Revolving Loan Note, a Term Loan Note, and a Swingline Loan Note, as the case may be, dated the Closing Date, the effective date, or the date of such request, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitment, and the Swingline Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay, to the order of each of the Lenders, Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank, as applicable, the Loans and other Obligations as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.08 Interest on Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Class of Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus two percent (2.00%) per annum;

(ii) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, at the LIBOR Rate plus five percent (5.00%) per annum.

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Class of Loans, and the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be selected by Borrower for the Term Loan or Revolving Loans, and, in each case, notified to Administrative Agent and the applicable Class of Lenders pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan of a particular Class is outstanding with respect to which a Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan until such date that a Conversion/Continuation Notice is delivered by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.09.

(c) In connection with LIBOR Rate Loans there shall be no more than six (6) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and the applicable Class of Lenders.

(d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.08(a)(i) shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366- day year, as the case may be), and interest payable pursuant to Section 2.08(a)(ii) 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 it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan of a particular Class, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such LIBOR Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such LIBOR Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

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

2.09 Conversion/Continuation.

(a) Subject to Section 3.04 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Loan of the applicable Class equal to $500,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, that a LIBOR Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan unless Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 3.04 in connection with any such conversion; or

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan of such Class equal to $500,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess of that amount as a LIBOR Rate Loan.

(b) Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any LIBOR Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

2.10 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Classes of Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any interest payments on all Classes of Loans and any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the applicable Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Debtor Relief Laws) payable on demand at the Default Rate; provided, any LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans at the election of Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence of such Event of Default (irrespective of whether the Interest Period in effect at the time of such conversion has expired) and thereupon shall become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at the Default Rate. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.10 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent, any Lender, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank.

2.11 Fees.

(a) Unused Commitment Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent:

(i) accruing from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, for the account of each Revolving Loan Lender according to its Pro Rata Share, a nonrefundable unused Revolving Loan Commitment fee (each a “Revolving Loan Facility Unused Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the average daily result during the relevant fiscal quarter of (1) the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments minus (2) the aggregate Revolving Loan Exposure; provided, however, that any Revolving Loan Facility Unused Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Loan Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Revolving Loan Facility Unused Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no Revolving Loan Facility Unused Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Revolving Loan Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Subject to the provisos in the directly preceding sentence, all Revolving Loan Facility Unused Commitment Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter and on the Maturity Date.

(ii) [Reserved].

(b) Other Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent such fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the Fee Schedule provided in the Commitment Letter.

2.12 Scheduled Payments.

(a) Commencing with the calendar month ending January 31, 2017, and continuing on the last Business Day of each calendar month thereafter through the Maturity Date, the Term Loans shall be repaid by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments (each, an “Installment”), (i), during the calendar year ending December 31, 2017, of $270,833.33 and (ii), during the calendar year ending December 31, 2018 and thereafter, of $541,666.67.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) such Installment shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13 and Section 2.14, as applicable; and (2) the Term Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.

(b) The Revolving Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.

2.13 Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) Any time and from time to time without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 3.04(c)):

(i) with respect to Base Rate Loans, Borrower may prepay any Loans of the applicable Class on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $250,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess of that amount (or such lesser amount as may be the aggregate outstanding amount of such Term Loans); and

(ii) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, Borrower may prepay any Loans of the applicable Class on any Business Day in whole or in part (together with any amounts due pursuant to Section 3.04(c)) in an aggregate minimum amount of $250,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess of that amount (or such lesser amount as may be the aggregate outstanding amount of such Loans).

(b) All such prepayments shall be made upon not less than one (1) Business Day prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and three (3) Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, in each case pursuant to a prepayment notice (the “Prepayment Notice”), substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, and given by Borrower to Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice for Loans by facsimile or telephone to each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans of the applicable Class specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as Borrower may elect; provided that, (i) if Borrower elects to apply any voluntary prepayment to the Term Loans, the same shall be applied in accordance with the first and second item of Section 2.15(a), (ii) if Borrower fails to make an election regarding the application of such voluntary prepayment, the same shall be applied as specified in Section 2.15 and (iii) all prepayments shall be accompanied by (1) any amounts due pursuant to Section 3.04(c) and (2) any accrued and unpaid interest upon the principal amount of such prepayment (provided that, Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to cause such amounts and interest payments to be due and payable on the earlier of (A) the Interest Payment Date immediately following such prepayment and (B) upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice from the Administrative Agent).

2.14 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Asset Sales. Promptly, but no later than five (5) Business Days following the date of receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds (or on the 361^st day if the first proviso hereto applies), Borrower shall prepay (and/or cash collateralize) the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.15 in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Asset Sales Proceeds; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Parties shall have the option, directly or through one or more of their Subsidiaries, to invest any Net Asset Sale Proceeds (the “Asset Sale Reinvestment Amounts”) in assets used or useful in the business of the Loan Parties (other than Parent), if such assets are purchased or constructed within three hundred sixty (360) days following receipt of such Net Asset Sale Proceed; provided, further, pending any such investment, all such Net Asset Sale Proceeds shall be invested in Cash or Cash Equivalents and deposited in an account at EWB and held therein until such time as such Net Asset Sales Proceeds are applied in payment of such investment. In the event that the Asset Sale Reinvestment Amounts are not reinvested by the Loan Parties, prior to the earlier of (i) the last day of such three hundred sixty (360) day period and (ii) the date of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall apply such Asset Sale Reinvestment Amounts to the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.15.

(b) Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. Promptly, but no later than five (5) Business Days following the date of receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or Administrative Agent as loss payee or lenders loss payee, of any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds (or on the 181^st day if the first proviso hereto applies) in excess of (A) $250,000 in the aggregate received in any fiscal year through the applicable date of determination with respect to any loss covered by a casualty insurance policy and (B) $500,000 with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions and less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate during any fiscal year with respect to any sales or other Dispositions as a result of the taking of any assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries by any Person pursuant to the power of eminent domain, condemnation or otherwise, or pursuant to a sale of any such assets to a purchaser with such power under threat of such a taking, Borrower shall prepay (and/or cash collateralize) the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.15 in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon delivery of a written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one (1) or more of their Subsidiaries to invest such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds within one hundred eighty (180) days of receipt thereof in assets used or useful in the business of the Loan Parties (other than Parent), which investment may include the repair, restoration or replacement of the applicable assets thereof; provided, further, pending any such investment, all such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds shall be invested in Cash or Cash Equivalents and deposited in an account at EWB and held therein until such time as such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds are applied in payment of such investment. In the event that any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds are not reinvested by the Loan Parties prior to the earlier of (i) the last day of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, and (ii) the date of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall apply such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds to the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.15.

(c) Issuance of Debt. On the date of receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.07), Borrower shall prepay (and/or cash collateralize) the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.15 in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, in each case, paid to non-Affiliates, including Attorney Costs.

(e) Excess Cash Flow. In the event that there shall be Excess Cash Flow for any fiscal year of Borrower (commencing with the fiscal year of Borrower ended December 31, 2017), Borrower shall, no later than the earlier of (i) one hundred (100) days after the end of such fiscal year and (ii) the date of delivery by Borrower of the financial statements described in Section 6.01(a), prepay (and/or cash collateralize) the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.15 in an aggregate amount equal to (1) seventy-five percent (75%) of such Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year if the Total Leverage Ratio, measured for such fiscal year before giving effect to such payment of Excess Cash Flow, is greater than 4.00:1.00 or (2) fifty percent (50%) of such Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year if the Total Leverage Ratio, measured for such fiscal year before giving effect to such payment of Excess Cash Flow, is less than or equal to 4.00:1.00.

(f) Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the applicable Class of Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(a) through Section 2.14(e) and Section 2.14(g), Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an authorized officer of Borrower demonstrating the calculation of the amount of Net Asset Sales Proceeds, Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, Excess Cash Flow, damages, refund, other payment and compensation or gross equity proceeds owing to the applicable Class of Lenders under, if any. In the event that Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the applicable Class of Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of a Senior Officer of Borrower demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

(g) Overadvance. If the Revolving Loan Exposure at any time exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitments, Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans (or Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations, if prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans is not sufficient) in such amounts as shall be necessary so that Revolving Loan Exposure does not exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment.

2.15 Application of Prepayments.

(a) Prepayments. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.14 shall be applied as follows:

first, to the payment of any Obligations due pursuant to Section 3.04(c) and to the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest upon the principal amount of each such mandatory prepayment on a pro rata basis (provided that, Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to not apply such mandatory prepayment to the payments described in this item first in which case such payments will be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Interest Payment Date immediately following the application of such mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.15 and (ii) upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice from Administrative Agent);

second, except with respect to prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.14(g), to the prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans on a pro rata basis (with the amount of such prepayment of Term Loans being applied to the remaining Installments in inverse order of maturity), subject to the application of Section 2.15(b);

third, to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans (with no permanent reduction in Revolving Loan Commitments) on a pro rata basis, subject to the application of Section 2.15(b);

fourth, to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans (with no permanent reduction in Revolving Loan Commitments) on a pro rata basis, subject to the application of Section 2.15(b);

fifth, to Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations;

eight, to cash collateralize Obligations pursuant to a Secured Treasury Management Agreement, on a pro rata basis, pursuant to an arrangement satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the applicable Secured Parties;

ninth, to any other Obligation that is due and payable; and

tenth, any amount remaining may be retained by Borrower.

(b) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans; Accompanying Amounts and Interest. Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment of the Swingline Loans, Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to LIBOR Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.04(c). All prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) any amounts owed pursuant to Section 3.04(c) and (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest upon the principal amount of such prepayment (provided that, Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to cause such amounts and interest payments to be due and payable on the earlier of (1) the Interest Payment Date immediately following such prepayment and (2) demand by Administrative Agent).

2.16 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations of the applicable Class shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Class of Lenders, not later than 12:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the date due via wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as Administrative Agent may designate from time to time; funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan of a particular Class shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

(c) Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender of the applicable Class at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due with respect thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any LIBOR Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

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

(f) Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 2:00 p.m. (Pacific time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower for payments and each Lender of the applicable Class (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.10 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(g) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.01(b), Section 2.02(b) and Section 2.04(b), as applicable, and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on such date. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.

(h) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or Issuing Bank hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

2.17 Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans of a particular Class made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the applicable Bankruptcy Code or other Debtor Relief Laws, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents for any Class of Loans (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender holding the same Class of Loans in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender holding the same Class of Loans of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders holding the same Class of Loans so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders holding the same Class of Loans in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, (i) if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.17 shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or its participations to any assignee or participant. Each Loan Party expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise against each Loan Party any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by any Loan Party to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of the participation held by that holder.

2.18 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.21 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.19; fourth, to Cash Collateralize the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.19; fifth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; sixth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and released pro rata in order to (1) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (2) Cash Collateralize Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.19; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; eighth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and ninth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans, Letter of Credit Advances or Swingline Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (B) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, or Letter of Credit Advances or Swingline Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Advances or Swingline Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Credit Facility without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(1) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Revolving Loan Facility Unused Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(2) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.19.

(3) With respect to any Revolving Loan Facility Unused Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, Borrower shall (A) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (B) pay to Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (C) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (1) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified Administrative Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (2) such reallocation does not cause any Non-Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Exposure to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (1) first, prepay the Swingline Obligations, (2) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19, and (3) third, Cash Collateralize the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19.

(vi) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(vii) New Swingline Loans/ Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (1) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (2) Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

2.19 Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank (with a copy to Administrative Agent), Borrower shall Cash Collateralize Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(a) Grant of Security Interest. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a First Priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, Borrower will, promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.19 or Section 2.18 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein and (ii) Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.19 or Section 2.18 in respect of Swingline Obligations or the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall be held and applied in satisfaction of the Swingline Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.18, (1) any such release shall be without prejudice to, any other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, and (2) the Person providing Cash Collateral and Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided, further, that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by Borrower, such Cash Collateral remains subject to the security interests granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

2.20 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Loan Commitment.

Borrower may, upon irrevocable notice to Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Loan Commitments or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments; provided that (a) any such notice shall be received by Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (Pacific time) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (b) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $250,000 or any whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof, (c) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Loans would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments, and (d) if, after giving effect to any reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Loan Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments. Any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Loan Lender, in each case, according to its Pro Rata Share. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

SECTION 3

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all interest, additions to tax, penalties or other liabilities with respect thereto (“Taxes”), excluding the following (collectively, “Excluded Taxes”): (i) franchise Taxes and Taxes imposed or measured by Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s (as the case may be) overall net income, that are imposed on it by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) (1) under the Laws of which Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) is organized or maintains a lending office, or (2) with which Administrative Agent or such Lender otherwise has a present or former connection (other than any such connection arising solely from Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Document); (ii) any branch profits Tax imposed by the United States or any similar Tax imposed by another jurisdiction in which Borrower is located; (iii) any Taxes that are attributable to Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s failure or inability to comply with Section 3.01(f) below; (iv) United States withholding Taxes required to be imposed on amounts payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the Laws in force at the time Administrative Agent or such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except, if Lender designates a new lending office or becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an assignment, withholding Taxes shall not be Excluded Taxes to the extent that such Taxes were not Excluded Taxes with respect to Lender or its assignor, as the case may be, immediately before such designation of a new lending office or assignment; and (v) United States withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA. If Borrower is required by any Law to deduct any Taxes other than Excluded Taxes (“Indemnified Taxes”) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Lender, (1) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions of Indemnified Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (2) Borrower shall make such deductions, (3) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (4) as soon as possible, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent or such Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such taxation or other authority evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, excise, court, or documentary Taxes, charges or similar levies, which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, other than Taxes that are imposed with respect to an assignment and that are imposed as a result of a pre-existing connection between Administrative Agent or Lender and the jurisdiction imposing the Tax (other than any such pre-existing relationship arising solely from the Opus Credit Agreement) (such Taxes that Borrower agrees to pay hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) If Borrower shall be required by the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Lender, Borrower shall also pay to Administrative Agent (for payment to the applicable Lender), at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that such Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in United States (federal and state) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income, and taking into account any foreign tax credits available under Sections 901 through 903 of the Code or similar credit or exemption under a similar state law attributable to Borrower’s payment of such Indemnified Taxes) such Lender would have received if such deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had not been made. A certificate that such Lender delivers to Borrower as to any such additional amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Without duplication of any amounts payable under clauses (a), (b) or (c) above, Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Administrative Agent and/or such Lender; and (ii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall make payment under this subsection (d) as soon as practicable after the date Administrative Agent or Lender makes a demand therefor.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this subsection (e).

(f) Each Lender, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested in writing by Borrower, shall provide Borrower with (i) if such Lender is not a “United States Person” as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (“U.S. Person”) (a “Non- U.S. Lender”), a complete and properly executed IRS Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X, X-0XXX or W-8IMY (including all required accompanying information), as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS (including a United States taxpayer identification number), certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to benefits under an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding Tax on payments of interest, certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is eligible for the “portfolio interest exemption” or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) if Lender is a U.S. Person, an IRS Form W-9 or any successor form prescribed by the IRS. If a payment made by Borrower to Lender or Administrative Agent would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Administrative Agent has complied with such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. In addition, each Lender will (1) take all actions reasonably requested in good faith by Borrower in writing that are consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions to claim any available reductions or exemptions from Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and (2) otherwise cooperate with Borrower to minimize any amounts payable by Borrower under this Section 3.01; provided that, in each case, any out-of-pocket cost relating directly to such action or cooperation requested by Borrower shall be borne solely by Borrower, and no Lender shall be required to take any action that it determines in its sole good faith discretion may be adverse in any non de minimis respect to it and not indemnified to its satisfaction.

(g) If any party 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 pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

3.02 Increased Costs; Capital Requirements.

(a) Compensation For Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (1) Indemnified Taxes, (2) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (v) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (3) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, letters of credit or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender, Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Class of Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan of that Class, or to increase the cost to such Lender, Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing, entering or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue or enter into any Letter of Credit) or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan in such Class, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements; Certificates for Reimbursement; Delay in Requests.

(i) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender, Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Class of Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(ii) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank (A) setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section 3 and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error and (B) certifying that Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, is generally taking comparable action with respect to its other borrowers in similar circumstances. Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(iii) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to Section 3.02(a) or Section 3.02(b)(i) shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.02(a) or Section 3.02(b)(i) for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.03 Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02(a) or Section 3.02(b), or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.02(a), Section 3.02(b) or Section 3.01, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02(a) or Section 3.02(b), or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.03(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.02(a), Section 3.02(b) or Section 3.01) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if any other Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.04;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, participations in Letter of Credit Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.04(c)) from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.02(a) or Section 3.02(b) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereof;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

3.04 Making or Maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans.

(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties absent manifest error), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of “LIBOR Rate”, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans of the applicable Class may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders of that Class that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Borrower with respect to the applicable Class of Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower, as the case may be. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders when the circumstances giving rise to a notice pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) no longer exist.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that (i) any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties absent manifest error, but shall be made only after consultation with Borrower) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its LIBOR Rate Loans (1) has become unlawful or impossible as a result of a Change in Law or as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of Law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (2) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market or (ii) any Lender shall have determined that LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such LIBOR Rate Loan, then, and in any such event, any such affected Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Upon receipt of such notice by Borrower, (A) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans of the affected Class as, or to convert Loans of the affected Class to, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (B) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a LIBOR Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (C) unless and until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, such Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by Law, and (D) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a LIBOR Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.04(c), to rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders of the affected Class by giving notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender of such affected Class). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 3.04(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender of a particular Class other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans of that Class as, or to convert Loans of that Class to, LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Affected Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent when the circumstances giving rise to a notice pursuant to this Section 3.04(b) no longer exist.

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or calculated to be due and payable by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds and including loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a Borrowing of any such LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request for Borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any such LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its LIBOR Rate Loans occurs on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); (iii) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans are not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower; or (iv) any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period thereof as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.03.

(d) Booking of LIBOR Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer LIBOR Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 3.04 and under Section 3.02 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Rate Loans through the purchase of a LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the “LIBOR Rate” in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such LIBOR deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States; provided that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.04 and under Section 3.02.

3.05 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. Administrative Agent, or any Lender, if claiming compensation under this Section 3, shall deliver to Borrower a certificate (i) setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error and (ii) certifying that Administrative Agent, or Lender, as applicable, is generally taking comparable action with respect to its other borrowers in similar circumstances. In determining such amount, Lenders may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

3.06 Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction, discharge or cash collateralization of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

8.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default. Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or Lenders provided for elsewhere in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, or by applicable Law, or in equity, or otherwise:

(a) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 8.01(i) and (j), in respect of which Section 8.02(b) shall apply), Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of Requisite Lenders shall, terminate the Commitments and/or:

(i) declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, any unpaid fees and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable to Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Lender without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower; and/or

(ii) require Borrower to, and Borrower shall thereupon, Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit, and Borrower hereby pledges to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and grants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders a security interest in, all such Cash Collateral as security for such Obligations; and/or

114

(iii) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.01(i) or Section 8.01(j):

(i) the Commitments shall automatically terminate without notice to or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower; and

(ii) the unpaid principal of all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, any unpaid fees and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be immediately due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower; and

(iii) Administrative Agent may enforce any and all Liens and security interests created pursuant to the Security Documents.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent, without notice to or demand upon Borrower, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower, may proceed to protect, exercise and enforce its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents against Borrower and its Subsidiaries and such other rights and remedies as are provided by Law or equity (including, without limitation, the provisions of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code).

(d) Except as permitted by Section 10.21, no Lender may exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Obligations. The order and manner in which Administrative Agent’s and Secured Parties’ rights and remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. Regardless of how a Lender may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing the Obligations hereunder, after the exercise of remedies provided for in this Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the Letter of Credit Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in Section 8.02(a)(ii)), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by Administrative Agent in the following order:

first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Section 3) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting indemnities, expenses, and other amounts (other than principal, interest and fees (including Letter of Credit Fees)) payable to the Lenders and Issuing Bank (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and Issuing Bank and amounts payable under Section 9), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause second payable to them;

115

third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting (i) accrued and unpaid interest on (1) the Loans, (2) Letter of Credit Borrowings and (3) other Obligations (other than Obligations pursuant to any Secured Hedging Obligation and Secured Treasury Management Agreements), (ii) constituting fees and scheduled periodic payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any Secured Hedging Obligation entered into by Borrower with respect to any Class of Loans, and (iii) fees (including Letter of Credit Fees), ratably among the Lenders, Hedging Banks and Issuing Bank in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause third payable to them;

fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting (i) unpaid principal of the Loans and Letter of Credit Borrowings and (ii) breakage, termination or other payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any Secured Hedging Obligation entered into by Borrower with respect to any Class of Loans, ratably among the Lenders, Issuing Bank and Hedging Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause fourth payable to them;

fifth, to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank, to Cash Collateralize that portion of Letter of Credit Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit;

sixth, to (i) payment of that portion of the Obligations due under any Secured Hedging Obligation not described in clause fourth and (ii) payments of amounts due under any Secured Treasury Management Agreement, ratably among the applicable Hedging Banks and Treasury Management Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause sixth payable to them;

seventh, to payment of all other Obligations, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause seventh held by them; and

eighth, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Loan Parties or as otherwise required by law.

Subject to Sections 2.03(g) and 2.19, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or such Guarantor’s assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 8.02(d).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Treasury Management Agreements and Secured Hedging Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if Administrative Agent has not received a Secured Party Designation Notice, together with such supporting documentation as Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Treasury Management Bank or Hedging Bank, as the case may be. Each Treasury Management Bank or Hedging Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 9 for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

116

No application of payments will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at Law or in equity.

(e) FCC Licenses; PUC Licenses; Related Collateral.

(i) Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder (and the rights of any receiver appointed by reason of the exercise of remedies hereunder) with respect to the FCC Licenses and the PUC Licenses and any Collateral subject to such FCC Licenses and PUC Licenses, are expressly subject to, and limited by any obligations and/or restrictions imposed by, the Communications Law. Borrower agrees to, and to cause each Loan Party and Subsidiary of a Loan Party to, take any action which Administrative Agent may request in order to obtain and enjoy the full rights and benefits granted to Administrative Agent by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the use of its best efforts to assist in obtaining Consent of the FCC or any PUC for any action or transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Documents which Consent is then required by Law.

(ii) Prior to the exercise by Administrative Agent (or any receiver appointed by reason of the exercise of remedies hereunder) of any power, rights, privilege, or remedy pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document which requires any Consent of the FCC or any PUC, Borrower will, and will cause each Loan Party and Subsidiary of a Loan Party, at the request of Administrative Agent, execute and deliver, or cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, and other documents and papers that Administrative Agent determines may be required to obtain such Consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Loan Party or Subsidiary will promptly upon request by Administrative Agent (or any such receiver so appointed) execute and deliver the appropriate portions of applications to the FCC or PUC for its Consent to the assignment of or the direct or indirect transfer of control of the FCC Licenses and PUC Licenses issued to such Loan Party or Subsidiary and/or any Collateral subject to such FCC Licenses and PUC Licenses and use its best efforts, upon the request of Administrative Agent (or any receiver so appointed) to assist in obtaining from the FCC or PUC the necessary Consent, if any, for the assignment of or the direct or indirect transfer of control of such FCC Licenses, such PUC Licenses, and any Collateral subject to the such FCC Licenses or PUC Licenses to Administrative Agent or its designee upon or following an Event of Default.

(iii) If any Loan Party or Subsidiary shall refuse to prepare, execute or file any such application or portion thereof within three (3) Business Days of being requested to do so by Administrative Agent, any court of competent jurisdiction may (1) direct such Loan Party or Subsidiary to provide such information to the receiver or the court, as the case may be, as will permit the filing of the application and (2) authorize the clerk of the court or any other designee of the court to prepare, execute and file any such application or portion thereof on behalf of such Loan Party or Subsidiary. Borrower acknowledges, and will cause each Loan Party to acknowledge, that the assignment of the FCC Licenses and the PUC Licenses, or change of control over any Loan Party or Subsidiary, is integral to Administrative Agent’s realization of the value of their Collateral, that there is no adequate remedy at Law for failure by any Loan Party to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.02(e), and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore, agree that the agreements contained in this Section 8.02(e) may be specifically enforced.

117

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document but without waiving or limiting any obligations of any Loan Party or Subsidiary hereunder, neither Administrative Agent nor any receiver appointed by reason of the exercise of remedies hereunder shall control, supervise, direct, or manage, or attempt to control, supervise, direct, or manage, the business of any Loan Party or Subsidiary, in any case that would constitute or result in any assignment of any FCC License or PUC License or any Collateral subject to such FCC Licenses or PUC Licenses, or a direct or indirect transfer of control of any Loan Party or Subsidiary, any FCC License or any PUC License, whether de jure or de facto, if such assignment or such direct or indirect transfer of control would require under the Communications Law, the prior Consent of the FCC or any PUC without first obtaining such Consent.

SECTION 9

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender hereby irrevocably appoints EWB to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as expressly set forth in Section 9.08, the provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, the Lenders, Issuing Bank, and Swingline Lender and neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to Administrative 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of Parent as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

118

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.03), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to Administrative Agent in writing by Borrower, a Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender.

(c) Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent

119

9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of a Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

9.06 Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent (or sub-agent thereof) and any Administrative Agent-Related Persons (each, an “Indemnitee Agent Party”), to the extent that such Indemnitee Agent Party shall not have been reimbursed by any Loan Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee Agent Party in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Indemnitee Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory, or sole negligence of such INDEMNITEE Agent PARTY; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Indemnitee Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order. If any indemnity furnished to any Indemnitee Agent Party for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Indemnitee Agent Party, be insufficient or become impaired, such Indemnitee Agent Party may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Indemnitee Agent Party against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Indemnitee Agent Party against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

120

9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.08 Successor Administrative Agent; Resignation of Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender.

(a) Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment or such appointment is to a Lender, to appoint a successor.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or to a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

133

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. 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 Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata 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 (1) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank, and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (2) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. 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.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, 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 Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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 of Sections 3 and 10.02 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from the Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04(b) 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 (d) below.

(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated 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 Borrower, 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

134

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than to (i) Parent or any of Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (ii) the Subordinated Praesidian Agent or any holder of the Subordinated Debt or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (iii) a natural Person (or to a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person)) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (1) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, and (3) Borrower, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.02 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

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 10.04(b) that affects such Participant. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) and Section 10.02 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, Section 3.02(a) and Section 3.02(b), with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.04 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.21 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.04 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

135

(e) Certain Pledges. 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 or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

10.05 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.06 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of each Class of Loans and Letter of Credit Extensions. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Loan Party set forth in Sections 3.02, 3.04(c), 3.01, 10.02, and 10.09 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.17, 9.03(b) and 9.06 shall survive the payment of each Class of Loans and of the other Obligations, the termination of the Commitments and the termination hereof.

10.07 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each of Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of Law or in any of the other Loan Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

10.08 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. None of Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or any Lender (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties), or Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or any Lender enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Laws, any other state, provincial or federal Law, common Law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

136

10.09 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Note or other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.10 Obligations Several; Actions in Concert. The obligations of Lenders and Issuing Bank hereunder are several and no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders or Issuing Bank pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders and/or Issuing Bank as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. Anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby agrees with each other Lender and Issuing Bank that no Lender or Issuing Bank shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations without first obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and/or the Requisite Lenders (as applicable), it being the intent of Lenders and Issuing Bank that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and any Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Administrative Agent and/or the Requisite Lenders (as applicable).

10.11 Headings. Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

10.12 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING SECTION 10.14) AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of The New York General Obligations Law).

10.13 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

(a) ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN XXX XXXXX, XXXXXX XXX XXXX XX XXX XXXX. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; PROVIDED THAT BORROWER AGREES, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES, ON A JOINT AND SEVERAL BASIS THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LENDERS, SWINGLINE LENDER AND ISSUING BANK RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IF SUCH PROCEEDINGS ARE BEING BROUGHT IN ORDER TO REALIZE UPON ANY COLLATERAL. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND BROUGHT IN ANY COURT SPECIFIED ABOVE. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

137

(b) BORROWER HEREBY AGREES THAT PROCESS MAY BE SERVED ON IT BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE ADDRESS PROVIDED IN APPENDIX B HERETO. ANY AND ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ANY OTHER NOTICE IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO IF GIVEN BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OR BY ANY OTHER MEANS OR MAIL WHICH REQUIRES A SIGNED RECEIPT, POSTAGE PREPAID, MAILED AS PROVIDED ABOVE. IN THE EVENT THE ADDRESSEE SPECIFIED IN APPENDIX B HERETO SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE AND FORWARD SERVICE OF PROCESS AS AFORESAID AND IF BORROWER SHALL NOT MAINTAIN AN OFFICE IN NEW YORK CITY, BORROWER SHALL PROMPTLY APPOINT AND MAINTAIN AN AGENT QUALIFIED TO ACT AS AN AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS WITH RESPECT TO THE COURTS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 10.13.

10.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING HERETO OR THERETO OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.

138

10.15 Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall hold all Information regarding Parent and its Subsidiaries and their businesses in accordance with such Administrative Agent’s, Issuing Bank’s, Swingline Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s, as applicable, customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by each Loan Party that, in any event, Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, any Lender or Issuing Bank may make (a) disclosures of such Information to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.15, disclosures of such Information reasonably required by (i) any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank or a Lender of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any bona fide or potential party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivate or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (c) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, (d) disclosure to any Lender’s financing sources; provided that prior to any disclosure, such financing source is informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential, (e) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process or other legal proceeding; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable Law or court order, the applicable Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or Lender by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such Information, (f) to any other party hereto, (g) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, and (h) with the consent of Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or after the Closing Date, Administrative Agent may, at its own expense disseminate privately to current and potential borrowers and current and potential lending partners with respect to other transactions “tombstone” advertisements and other announcements relating to this transaction (which may include use of logos of one or more of the Loan Parties). No Loan Party shall issue any news releases or publish “tombstone” advertisements or other announcements relating to this transaction in newspapers, trade journals or in other appropriate media or otherwise except (i) disclosures required by applicable law, regulation, legal process or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or (ii) with the prior approval of Administrative Agent.

139

10.16 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable Law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the applicable Obligations hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the applicable Obligations hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by Law, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury Laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the applicable Obligations hereunder or be refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.17 Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Administrative Agent, 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.

10.18 Effectiveness; Electronic Execution for Assignments.

(a) Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties and receipt by Borrower and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

(b) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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.

140

10.19 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

10.20 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA 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 EEA 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 an EEA 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 an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA 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 EEA 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 any EEA Resolution Authority.

10.21 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender or any assignee or participant of Lender or any Affiliate thereof (each, a “Proceeding Party”) provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Proceeding Party is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being waived by Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to proceed directly, by right of set-off, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of any Loan Party and their Subsidiaries which may be in the possession of such Proceeding Party (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Proceeding Party to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) and apply such assets against the Obligations, irrespective of whether such Proceeding Party shall have made any demand therefor and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

141

10.22 Sharing of Payments.

(a) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (1) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and (2) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

(b) Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party’s rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

10.23 Nonliability of Lender.

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) Any inspections of any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries made by or through Administrative Agent or any Lender are for purposes of administration of the Loan Documents only, and any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Borrower);

142

(b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by Administrative Agent or such Lender;

(c) The relationship between Borrower and each Lender is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender; no Lender shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or its Affiliates; no Lender undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their property or the operations of Borrower or its Affiliates; Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon its or their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by such Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of such Lender and neither Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and

(d) No Lender shall be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.

10.24 Further Assurances. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries shall, at their expense and without expense to Administrative Agent or Lenders, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably requires for the assuring and confirming unto Administrative Agent of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document (including, without limitation, any matters set forth in any supplement agreement regarding post-closing deliveries or filings entered into with Administrative Agent).

10.25 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitment Letter represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties or prior, contemporaneous or subsequent written agreement of the parties unless such subsequent written agreement conforms to the requirements of Section 10.03. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
