Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures. (a) Request for Equipment Loans. Except as the Administrative Agent may permit through its E-Systems, each request for a Borrowing of New Equipment Loans or Used Equipment Loans shall be made in writing by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the first Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing (except with respect to a Borrowing of Swing Loans for which notice shall be made no later than 10:00 a.m. on the same Business Day) in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 (a “Request for Equipment Borrowing”), duly completed, with such Request for Equipment Borrowing. Each Request for Equipment Borrowing with respect to a New Equipment Loan shall attach copies of the invoices to be paid with the proceeds of such Loan unless such invoices have previously been electronically submitted to the Administrative Agent. Each Request for Equipment Borrowing with respect to a Used Equipment Loan shall describe the used equipment to be purchased and the purchase price therefor, and shall attach copies of the certificates of title of the Inventory to be purchased with the proceeds of such Loan. The Administrative Agent is authorized to pay on behalf of any Borrower any invoices, or any electronic remittance advice, presented to the Administrative Agent from time to time that evidences the sale by a manufacturer or distributor of one or more items of Inventory. The Administrative Agent shall promptly determine in its sole discretion whether or not any Loans will be made in response to such Request for Equipment Borrowing, and will provide the Borrower Representative prompt notice of such determination. If the Administrative Agent approves such Request for Equipment Borrowing, it shall determine in its sole discretion whether such Request for Equipment Borrowing will be funded with Revolving A Loans (in which case it shall promptly notify the Revolving A Lenders of the details thereof), with Swing Loans (in which case it shall promptly notify the Swingline Lender of the details thereof), with Revolving B Loans (in which case it shall promptly notify the Revolving B Lenders of the details thereof) or with Revolving C Loans (in which case it shall promptly notify the Revolving C Lenders of the details thereof). Each submission of a Request for Equipment Borrowing by the Borrower Representative or any Borrower shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower Representative that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement and elsewhere in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct as of such date; and (ii) no Default is continuing.

(b) Notice to Swingline Lender. Upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent to fund a Request for Equipment Borrowing with Swing Loans subject to paragraph (a) above, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender will make a Swing Loan available to the Borrowers by making the proceeds thereof available to the applicable Borrower, to Administrative Agent (for further application to the applicable Borrower) or to directly pay any electronic remittance advice or invoices that are the subject of such Request for Equipment Borrowing.

(i) Upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent to fund a Request for Equipment Borrowing with Revolving A Loans subject to paragraph (a) above, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Revolving A Lender shall, before 10:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.11, such Revolving A Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based upon its Commitment A) of such proposed Borrowing (adjusted in accordance with Section 2.1(a)), and in turn, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make such funds available to the applicable Borrower or to directly pay any electronic remittance advice or invoices that are the subject of such Request for Equipment Borrowing.

(ii) Upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent to fund a Request for Equipment Borrowing with Revolving B Loans subject to paragraph (a) above, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Revolving B Lender shall, before 10:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.11, such Revolving B Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based upon its Commitment B) of such proposed Borrowing (adjusted in accordance with Section 2.1(a)), and in turn, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make such funds available to the applicable Borrower or to directly pay any electronic remittance advice or invoices that are the subject of such Request for Equipment Borrowing.

(iii) Upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent to fund a Request for Equipment Borrowing with Revolving C Loans subject to paragraph (a) above, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Revolving C Lender shall, before 10:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.11, such Revolving C Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based upon its Commitment C) of such proposed Borrowing (adjusted in accordance with Section 2.1(a)), and in turn, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make such funds available to the applicable Borrower or to directly pay any electronic remittance advice or invoices that are the subject of such Request for Equipment Borrowing.

(d) Request for Working Capital Loans. Each request for a Borrowing of Working Capital Loans shall be made in writing by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on (x) the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing if the proposed Borrowing is equal to or greater than $20,000,000 and (y) on the first Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing if the proposed Borrowing is less than $20,000,000, in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 (a “Request for Working Capital Borrowing”), duly completed. The Administrative Agent shall promptly determine in its sole discretion whether or not any Loans will be made in response to such Request for Working Capital Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent will provide the Borrower Representative and the Working Capital Lenders with prompt notice of such determination.

(e) Notice to Each Working Capital Lender. Upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent to fund a Request for Working Capital Borrowing with Working Capital Loans subject to clause (d) above, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Working Capital Lender shall, before 10:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.11, such Working Capital Lender’s ratable share of such proposed Borrowing based upon its Commitments, and in turn, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make such funds available to the applicable Borrower.

(f) Non-Funding Lenders.

(i) Non-Funding Lenders Responsibility. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the date such Lender is required to make any payment hereunder with respect to any Loan or any participation in any Swing Loan that such Lender will not make such payment (or any portion thereof) available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment available to the Administrative Agent on the date such payment is required to be made in accordance with this Article 2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount; provided, that nothing herein or in any other Loan Document or any Lender Interest Letter shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender. The Borrowers agree to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount (until repaid by such Lender) with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the Obligation that would have been created when the Administrative Agent made available such amount to the Borrowers had such Lender made a corresponding payment available; provided, however, that such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have to the Borrowers or the Swingline Lender. The failure of a Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Loan, to fund any purchase of any participation to be made or funded by it or to make any other payment required to be made by it under the Loan Documents, in each case on the date specified therefore, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such loan, fund the purchase of such participation or make any other such payment under any Loan Document on such date, but neither the Administrative Agent nor, other than as expressly set forth herein, any Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan, fund the purchase of a participation or make any other payment required under any Loan Document.

(ii) Reallocation. If any Revolving Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, all or a portion of such Non-Funding Lender’s reimbursement obligations with respect to Swing Loans shall, at the Administrative Agent’s election at any time or upon Swingline Lender’s written request delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default), be reallocated to and assumed by the Revolving Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Commitments (calculated as if the Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share was reduced to zero and each other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share had been increased proportionately); provided, that no Revolving Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any amounts that would cause (x) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving A Exposure to exceed its Commitment A, (y) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving B Exposure to exceed its Commitment B or (z) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving C Exposure to exceed its Commitment C, and any such amounts in excess of such Revolving Lender’s availability under its Commitments shall be reallocated as Working Capital Loans ratably to the Working Capital Lenders to the extent of availability under the Commitments of such Working Capital Lenders.

(iii) Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including Section 11.1, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” or a “Revolving Lender” (or be, or have its Loans or Commitments, included in the determination of “Required Lenders” or “Lenders directly affected” pursuant to Section 11.1) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document; provided, that (A) the Commitments of a Non-Funding Lender may not be increased, extended or reinstated, (B) the principal of a Non-Funding Lender’s Loans may not be reduced or forgiven and (C) the interest rate applicable to Obligations owing to a Non-Funding Lender may not be reduced, in each case without the consent of such Non-Funding Lender. For the purposes of determining Required Lenders, the Loans and Commitments held by Non-Funding Lenders shall be excluded from the total Loans and Commitments outstanding.

Section 2.3 Refinancing Swing Loans.

(a) The Swingline Lender may at any time, and shall at least one Business Day prior to each Settlement Date, forward a demand to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt, forward to each Revolving Lender) that each Revolving Lender pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all of the outstanding Swing Loans (as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.2(f)(ii)). Each Revolving Lender shall pay such Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Loans to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such payment (other than during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(e)), such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the applicable Borrowers, which, upon receipt of such payment by the Swingline Lender from the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed to have used in whole to refinance such Swing Loans. In addition, regardless of whether any such demand is made, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(e), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Loan. If any payment made by any Revolving Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a Revolving Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such Revolving Lender of such participation. Such participation shall not be otherwise required to be funded. Upon receipt by the Swingline Lender of any payment from any Revolving Lender pursuant to this clause (a) with respect to any portion of any Swing Loan, the Swingline Lender shall promptly pay over to such Revolving Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such Revolving Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such payment) received by the Swingline Lender with respect to such portion. The Swingline Lender shall be entitled to offset amounts owed by the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) against payments to be made to the Revolving Lenders on such Settlement Date. Notwithstanding anything set forth above, to the extent that there is insufficient availability under the applicable Commitment of any Revolving Lender to fund its entire Pro Rata Share of any requested new Revolving Loan or any requested purchase in any Swing Loan, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such requested new Revolving Loan and its interest in any Swing Loan that cannot be funded shall be reduced to the extent such Revolving Loan or purchase of an interest in Swing Loans will result in such Revolving Lender’s Revolving A Exposure being equal to (and not in excess of) its Commitment A, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving B Exposure being equal to (and not in excess of) its Commitment B or such Revolving Lender’s Revolving C Exposure being equal to (and not in excess of) its Commitment C, as applicable, and the remaining portion of such Revolving Loan or purchase of an interest in such Swing Loans shall be funded ratably by the Working Capital Lenders.

(b) Swing Loans refinanced pursuant to Section 2.3(a) shall be funded first from Revolving A Loans unless and until the aggregate Total Equipment Loans funded under the Commitments A equals the aggregate Commitments A, second, from Revolving B Loans unless and until the aggregate Total Equipment Loans funded under the Commitments B equals the aggregate Commitments B and thereafter from Revolving C Loans.

(c) Obligation to Fund Absolute. Each Lender’s obligations pursuant to clause (a) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including (A) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may have against the Swingline Lender or any other Person, and (B) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party.

Section 2.4 Reallocation of Loans. Upon the acceleration of the Loans, the foreclosure on any Liens securing the Obligations, the exercise of any other contractual remedies granted under the Loan Documents by the Administrative Agent or any Lenders or the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.1(e), (x) to the extent that the outstanding Revolving A Exposure of each Revolving A Lender is not equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments A, the Working Capital Lenders shall be deemed to have purchased ratably from all other Revolving A Lenders (the “Other A Lenders”), without recourse or warranty, a portion of the Revolving A Loans and participations in Swing Loans held by the Other A Lenders (or to the extent not permitted by law, an undivided interest and participation in the Revolving A Loans and participations in Swing Loans held by the Other A Lenders) to the extent necessary such that the Revolving A Loans are held ratably by all Revolving A Lenders and the participations in Swing Loans are held ratably by all Revolving A Lenders in accordance with portion of the outstanding Swing Loans that each Revolving A Lender could be required to refinance under Section 2.3 absent such Event of Default, (y) to the extent that the outstanding Revolving B Exposure of each Revolving B Lender is not equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments B, the Working Capital Lenders shall be deemed to have purchased ratably from all other Revolving B Lenders (the “Other B Lenders”), without recourse or warranty, a portion of the Revolving B Loans held by the Other B Lenders (or to the extent not permitted by law, an undivided interest and participation in the Revolving B Loans held by the Other B Lenders) to the extent necessary such that the Revolving B Loans are held ratably by all Revolving B Lenders and (z) to the extent that the outstanding Revolving C Exposure of each Revolving C Lender is not equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments C, the Working Capital Lenders shall be deemed to have purchased ratably from all other Revolving C Lenders (the “Other C Lenders” and, together with the Other A Lenders and Other B Lenders, the “Other Lenders”), without recourse or warranty, a portion of the Revolving C Loans held by the Other C Lenders (or to the extent not permitted by law, an undivided interest and participation in the Revolving C Loans held by the Other C Lenders) to the extent necessary such that the Revolving C Loans are held ratably by all Revolving C Lenders. Upon receipt by any Other Lender of any payment with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans or participations in Swing Loans sold or participated out to the Working Capital Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4, such Other Lender shall promptly pay over to such Working Capital Lender all payments of principal, interest and fees received by such Other Lender with respect to such portion.

Section 2.5 Reduction and Termination of the Commitments.

(a) Optional. The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Commitments in their entirety (but not in part); provided, that the Borrowers repays the outstanding principal balance of all Loans, together with all accrued fees and interest thereon and the Prepayment Processing Fee payable pursuant to Section 2.5(c).

(b) Mandatory. All outstanding Commitments shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the Scheduled Termination Date and (ii) the date 120 days after the Administrative Agent elects to terminate the Commitments by delivering written notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders.

(c) Prepayment Processing Fee. If (i) any Borrower allows another finance source to finance any Inventory, (ii) the Borrowers terminate the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or (iii) the Administrative Agent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, an amount (the “Prepayment Processing Fee”) equal to $300,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Prepayment Processing Fee (i) as a result of any Borrower financing Inventory for a limited period of time (not to exceed 180 days) with interest-free floor plan financing arranged or offered by the manufacturer of such Inventory, (ii) as a result of any Ford Motor Credit Financing, (iii) to the extent that the Borrower Representative has requested in writing that the Lenders increase the Commitments, the Lenders declined to do so and the aggregate Commitments are substantially fully funded, or (iv) to the extent the Borrower Representative terminates the Commitments within 90 days after any Person other than GE Capital or a Permitted Transferee becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 2.6 Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers jointly and severally promise to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of all Loans on the earlier of (i) the Scheduled Termination Date and (ii) the date that is 120 days following the delivery by the Administrative Agent of a notice terminating the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.5(b).

(b) New Equipment Curtailment Payments. Until each New Equipment Loan has been repaid in full, the Borrowers jointly and severally promise to make curtailment principal payments with respect to such New Equipment Loan in amounts equal to the original principal amount of each New Equipment Loan multiplied by the percentages set forth below (each such payment, a “New Equipment Curtailment Payment”):

DATE	AMOUNT
Date that is 12 months after the date of such New Equipment Loan	10%
Date that is 18 months after the date of such New Equipment Loan	5%
Date that is 24 months after the date of such New Equipment Loan and each monthly anniversary of the date of such New Equipment Loan thereafter	5%

Each New Equipment Curtailment Payment shall be accrued on the applicable date set forth in the table above and shall be due and payable on the fifteenth day after the date of the invoice setting forth such New Equipment Curtailment Payment. Each such New Equipment Curtailment Payment shall be deemed to reduce the principal amount of the related New Equipment Loan, and shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12.

(c) Used Equipment Curtailment Payments. Until each Used Equipment Loan has been repaid in full, the Borrowers jointly and severally promise to make curtailment principal payments with respect to such Used Equipment Loan in amounts equal to the original principal amount of such Used Equipment Loan multiplied by the percentages set forth below (each such payment, a “Used Equipment Curtailment Payment”):

DATE	AMOUNT

The Borrowers may prepay the Working Capital Loans in whole or in part at any time (together with any breakage costs that may be owing pursuant to Section 2.16(a) after giving effect to such prepayment). All such partial prepayments shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12, but shall not be deemed to reduce any New Equipment Loans or Used Equipment Loans.

Section 2.8 Mandatory Repayments.

(a) Excess Outstandings. On any date on which the aggregate Revolving A Exposure exceeds the aggregate Commitments A, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess, allocated first to any Working Capital Loans outstanding under the Commitments A until paid in full, then to any outstanding Swing Loans (to the extent that such Swing Loans would be refinanced with Revolving A Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(a) if refinanced on such date) until paid in full, and then to any outstanding Revolving A Loans. On any date on which the aggregate Revolving B Exposure exceeds the aggregate Commitments B, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess, allocated first to any Working Capital Loans outstanding under the Commitments B until paid in full, second to any outstanding Swing Loans (to the extent that such Swing Loans would be refinanced with Revolving B Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(a) if refinanced on such date) and then to any outstanding Revolving B Loans. On any date on which the aggregate Revolving C Exposure exceeds the aggregate Commitments C, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess, allocated first to any Working Capital Loans outstanding under the Commitments C until paid in full, second to any outstanding Swing Loans (to the extent that such Swing Loans would be refinanced with Revolving C Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(a) if refinanced on such date) and then to any outstanding Revolving C Loans. On any date on which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Working Capital Loans exceeds the Working Capital Subfacility Amount, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess, allocated first to any Working Capital Loans outstanding under the Commitments C until paid in full, second to any Working Capital Loans outstanding under the Commitments B until paid in full, and then to any Working Capital Loans outstanding under the Commitments A until paid in full.

(b) Sale, Loss or Destruction of Inventory. Subject to the terms of Section 2.10, if any Inventory is Sold, the Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the principal amount of the New Equipment Loan or Used Equipment Loan borrowed to purchase such Inventory (less any curtailment payments paid with respect to such New Equipment Loan or Used Equipment Loan pursuant to Section 2.6), together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the earlier of the date a Borrower receives payment for such item of Inventory or the date possession of such item of Inventory is delivered to the purchaser thereof, notwithstanding that the relevant purchase order or invoice may list an earlier date of sale.

Should the franchises representing more than twenty-five percent (25.0%) of the Total Equipment Loans to Borrowers by dollar volume be terminated or the licenses to operate a motor vehicle dealer at locations representing more than twenty-five percent (25.0%) of the Total Equipment Loans to Borrowers by dollar volume be terminated, the Administrative Agent may demand payment of all Loans then outstanding, in which event such Loans, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, shall be paid by the Borrowers no later than thirty (30) days after such demand.

Section 2.9 Interest; Fees. (a) Interest Rate. Except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, all Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus 2.03% per annum.

(b) Working Capital Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Working Capital Lenders, a fee on the actual daily amount by which the Total Equipment Loans exceeds the sum of (i) the Net Equipment Loans plus (ii) all outstanding Working Capital Loans, measured from the date hereof through the Scheduled Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to 0.35%, payable in arrears (x) on the last day of each calendar month and (y) on the Scheduled Termination Date.

(c) Payments. Interest accrued shall be payable in arrears jointly and severally by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent (i) if accrued on the principal amount of any Loan, (A) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and (B) within fifteen days after the date of any monthly invoice delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Representative setting forth the amount of interest due and payable, and (ii) if accrued on any other Obligation, on demand from any Lender after the time such Obligation is due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise). On the last day of each calendar month, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender interest on the principal amount of the Loans and other Obligations owed to such Lender for the period of time for which such interest was paid by the Borrowers at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Lender Margin for such Lender; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount due to any Lender exceed such Lender’s pro rata share (based upon the aggregate Credit Exposure of such Lender) of the interest received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers during such calendar month. The remaining interest shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to GE Capital for its own account on such Settlement Date, subject to the terms of any Assignment to which GE Capital is a party as an assignee Lender or assignor Lender.

(d) Delinquency Charges. To the extent any charge or amount is due hereunder, and are not paid within 10 days of its due date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a delinquency charge calculated thereon at the rate of 1½% per month for the period of delinquency or, at the Administrative Agent’s option, 5% of such past due amounts, provided that such delinquency charge is not prohibited by law, otherwise at the highest rate the Borrowers can legally obligate themselves to pay and/or the Administrative Agent or Lenders can legally collect (provided such delinquency charges may not exceed those set out herein).

(e) Savings Clause. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrowers shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Section 2.10 Delayed Payment Privilege.

(a) The Borrowers have requested the privilege of delaying payment of a Loan in the limited instances where Collateral is sold by a Borrower to a purchaser for whom both the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent have agreed to a delayed payment period (the "Delayed Payment Privilege") and the portion of the purchase price for such Collateral (the “Collateral Amount Financed”) subject to such Delayed Payment Privilege. In no event shall the Collateral Amount Financed exceed $60,000,000 without the consent of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent’s security interest in any and all vehicles sold to a customer, and in which event the full payment thereof by cash or on the basis of a properly perfected retail installment contract or other security agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent is not made contemporaneous with the delivery of such Collateral by the Borrowers (the "Delayed Payment Collateral"), shall remain in full force and effect in such Delayed Payment Collateral and shall not be relinquished, extinguished, released or terminated as a consequence of such sale or delivery unless and until the payment is thereafter made directly to the Administrative Agent or jointly to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. Moreover, Borrowers are expressly prohibited and shall not have any express, implied or apparent authority to sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Delayed Payment Collateral. The terms of this Section 2.10 shall not be altered, modified, supplemented, qualified, waived or amended by reason of any agreement (unless in writing executed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent), or by the course of performance, course of dealing, or usage of trade by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or any of them.

(b) Any previously executed Agreement for the Delayed Payment Privilege for New Floor Plan Units among the Borrowers and General Electric Capital Corporation is superseded by the terms and conditions of this Agreement for all transactions arising on or after the effective date thereof.

(c) The Borrower Representative shall advise the Administrative Agent of each and every potential transaction in which the Borrower Representative requests the Administrative Agent to grant the Delayed Payment Privilege, and the period of time for which the Delayed Payment Privilege is being requested. Such request shall be made of the Administrative Agent in writing and on a form of the type and kind provided by the Administrative Agent from time to time. Upon receipt of request from the Borrower Representative to grant a Delayed Payment Privilege in accordance with the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative within one Business Day if it does not consent to the requested grant of a Delayed Payment Privilege or needs additional information in order to evaluate the requested grant of a Delayed Payment Privilege. If Borrower Representative does not receive a response from the Administrative Agent to any request to grant a Delayed Payment Privilege within one Business Day of such request, then Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to such request and the Borrower Representative may grant the Delayed Payment Privilege. The Administrative Agent’s express or deemed consent, if any, to the Borrower Representative’s request to grant a Delayed Payment Privilege must be obtained prior to the sale, transfer or delivery of any vehicles proposed by the Borrowers to be disposed by the Delayed Payment Privilege (the "Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral").

(d) The Administrative Agent’s consent to any request for disposition of Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral shall be in the Administrative Agent’s sole and exclusive discretion and further subject and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions:

(i) The Administrative Agent may, in its sole and exclusive discretion limit the number of items of Collateral, amount outstanding and terms and conditions for which the Delayed Payment Privilege requested by the Borrower Representative is approved.

(ii) The Administrative Agent may, in its sole and exclusive discretion withdraw, cancel, or suspend the Delayed Payment Privilege at any time and for any reason upon a ten-day advance written notice and immediately if any Event of Default exists; provided, however, that such withdrawal, cancellation or suspension shall not affect the rights, interests and duties under this Agreement prior thereto.

(e) Borrowers shall complete, execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, immediately upon the delivery of Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral, a form of the type and kind provided by Administrative Agent from time to time (the "Delivery Schedule").

(f) Borrowers shall immediately pay Administrative Agent the Collateral Amount Financed upon the earliest of (i) demand by Administrative Agent; or (ii) receipt of the amount due from the disposition of each of the Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral; or (iii) the "Purchaser Payment Date" set forth on the applicable Delivery Schedule; or (iv) with respect to any particular vehicle as to which the Borrowers have exercised the Deferred Payment Privilege, sixty (60) days after such vehicle was sold (unless the Required Lenders consent to an extension of such 60-day period).

(g) Upon Administrative Agent’s request, Borrowers shall obtain from the person acquiring the Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral a duly authorized and executed acknowledgement from the Purchaser confirming that the terms of sale including the continuation of Administrative Agent's security interest in the Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral. The acknowledgement shall be in writing and on a form of the type and kind provided by Administrative Agent from time to time, which shall be delivered to Administrative Agent prior to any sale, transfer or delivery of any Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral to such person (the "Acknowledgement of Purchaser").

(h) The grant and exercise of the Delayed Payment Privilege by Borrowers shall in no way extinguish, release or terminate Administrative Agent's security interest in the Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral unless and until the conditions described in the clause (d) above and the aforesaid Acknowledgement of Purchaser are first fulfilled, which shall then and thereafter continue in the proceeds thereof.

(i) Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to examine, review or consider the creditworthiness of any proposed or actual customer of Borrowers for which Borrowers seeks Administrative Agent's consent to the Delayed Payment Privilege and any such examination, review or consideration by Administrative Agent shall be for its sole and exclusive use and purposes.

(j) Borrowers' obligation to pay Administrative Agent for the Collateral Amount Financed shall be absolute, unconditional and primary, notwithstanding (a) Administrative Agent consenting to the Delayed Payment Privilege; or (b) default in the payment or acquisition terms by the customer of the Borrowers for Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral, or that of any of customer's surety, guarantor, co-obligor or lender; or (c) rejection or revocation of acceptance of any Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral by such customer; or (d) the acceptance by Administrative Agent of any assignment or proceeds from any Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.10 is intended to permit payment to Administrative Agent of any more than the greater of (i) the Collateral Amounts Financed or (ii) the value of Administrative Agent's security interest in the Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the fact that any Collateral is subject to the Delayed Payment Privilege, any Loans made to finance the purchase price of such Collateral subject to the Delayed Payment Privilege shall remain outstanding until paid in full in accordance with the terms hereof and such Loans shall be included, as applicable, in the calculation of the aggregate amount of Loans, New Equipment Loans and Used Equipment Loans outstanding and in the calculation of the Total Equipment Loans, Net Equipment Loans and Total Loans.

(k) Upon demand by Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall provide Administrative Agent with an assignment of all right, title, and interest of the Borrowers in and to the accounts, contract rights, sale proceeds or any other interest Borrowers may then or thereafter have in the Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral. Said assignment shall be for the purpose of additional security only and shall be on a form of the type and kind provided by Administrative Agent from time to time.

(l) Administrative Agent may take such actions as it reasonably deems appropriate to assure and enforce compliance with this Agreement, including requesting, for audit purposes, verification from Borrowers' customers the fact of delivery, possession, and amount, date and circumstances of payment of any Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral, and the notification to appropriate persons of any security interest, assignment or other claim in the Delayed Payment Privilege Collateral of Administrative Agent.

Section 2.11 Settlement Dates. On each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall pay to all Lenders, in accordance with Section 2.12, their share of all principal repayments received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers since the prior Settlement Date (or with respect to the first Settlement Date following the Restatement Date, since the Restatement Date). On each Settlement Date, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Swingline Lender, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan to be made on such Settlement Date to refinance Swing Loans in accordance with Section 2.3. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to offset such fundings and fund or receive payment on a net basis.

Section 2.12 Application of Payments.

(a) Application of Payments During an Event of Default. Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees to cause each Loan Party and each other Group Member to waive, the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and any proceeds of Collateral and agrees that the Administrative Agent may apply all payments in respect of any Obligation and all proceeds of Collateral to the Obligations in accordance with this Section 2.12 or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent and all Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon the direction of the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving A Lenders or the Required Revolving B Lenders, or upon the acceleration of any Obligation pursuant to Section 9.2, the Administrative Agent shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligation and all proceeds of Collateral (i) first, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent, (ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Lenders, (iii) third, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans, (iv) fourth, to repay the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and (v) fifth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations. If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12(a), the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such Obligations in the applicable priority level ratably based on the proportion of the Secured Parties’ interest in such Obligations. Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12 that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding.

(b) Application of Payments under Sections 2.6(b), 2.6(c), 2.8(b) and 2.8(c). All repayments of the Obligations made by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.6(b), Section 2.6(c), Section 2.8(b) or Section 2.8(c) shall be allocated (i) first, to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Loans, (ii) second, to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving C Loans in proportion to each Revolving C Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based on its Commitments C), subject to Section 2.13(e), (iii) third, to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving B Loans in proportion to each Revolving B Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based on its Commitments B), subject to Section 2.13(e), and (iv) fourth, to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving A Loans in proportion to each Revolving A Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based on its Commitments A), subject to Section 2.13(e). If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12(b), the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such Obligations in the applicable priority level ratably based on the proportion of the Secured Parties’ interest in such Obligations. Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12 that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding.

(c) Application of Voluntary Partial Prepayments under Section 2.7. All voluntary partial prepayments of the Obligations made by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be allocated (i) first, to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Working Capital Loans, (ii) second, to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Loans (which shall be deemed to reduce the interests of the Working Capital Lenders therein but not the interests of any other Lenders), (iii) third, to pay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving C Loans made by the Working Capital Lenders (but not any other Lenders), (iv) fourth, to pay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving B Loans made by the Working Capital Lenders (but not any other Lenders), and (v) fifth, to pay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving A Loans made by the Working Capital Lenders (but not any other Lenders). If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12(c), the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such Obligations ratably based on the proportion of the Secured Parties’ interest in such Obligations. Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12(c) that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding.

(d) Application of Payments Generally. Subject to Section 2.12(a), Section 2.12(b) and Section 2.12(c), all payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be allocated (i) first, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent, (ii) second, to pay accrued and unpaid interest and fees due and payable to the Lenders, (iii) third, to pay the outstanding principal amount of Swing Loans, (iv) fourth, to pay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving C Loans allocated ratably based on each Revolving C Lender’s Pro Rata Share, (v) fifth, to pay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving B Loans allocated ratably based on each Revolving B Lender’s Pro Rata Share, (vi) sixth, to pay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving A Loans allocated ratably based on each Revolving A Lender’s Pro Rata Share, (vii) seventh, to pay the outstanding principal amount of Working Capital Loans allocated as the Administrative Agent shall determine and (viii) eighth, to pay any other Obligations then due and payable. If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12, the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such Obligations ratably based on the proportion of the Secured Parties’ interest in such Obligations. Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12 that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding.

Section 2.13 Payments and Computations. (a) Procedure. The Borrowers shall make each payment under any Loan Document not later than 11:00 a.m. on the day when due to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer or ACH transfer (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder) to the following account (or at such other account or by such other means to such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower Representative in writing within a reasonable time prior to such payment) in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim:

ABA for ach - 000000000

Acct – 4427782703 – lockbox# 32282

Reference: GE Capital Commercial Inc./Rush Enterprises

(b) Computations of Interests and Fees. All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of 12 30-day months (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by the Administrative Agent (including determinations of a LIBOR Rate in accordance with the definitions of “LIBOR Rate”) and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Payment Dates. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day without any increase in such payment as a result of additional interest or fees; provided, however, that such interest and fees shall continue accruing as a result of such extension of time.

(d) Advancing Payments. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrowers shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to the Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent. The Lenders shall make any payment under any Loan Document in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim.

(e) Non-Pro Rata Payments. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that (x) the outstanding Revolving A Loans are not held ratably among the Revolving A Lenders and the payments to be allocated to any Revolving A Lender under this Agreement exceed its outstanding Revolving A Loans, (y) the outstanding Revolving B Loans are not held ratably among the Revolving B Lenders and the payments to be allocated to any Revolving B Lender under this Agreement exceed its outstanding Revolving B Loans or (z) the outstanding Revolving C Loans are not held ratably among the Revolving C Lenders and the payments to be allocated to any Revolving C Lender under this Agreement exceed its outstanding Revolving C Loans, such excess payments shall be applied first to any outstanding Working Capital Loans of such Lender (whether outstanding under Commitments A, Commitments B or Commitments C), and then refunded to the Borrowers in the form of a Working Capital Loan; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating Total Equipment Loans, the entire payment amount (including any portion that is retained by or returned to the Borrowers) shall be deemed to have been paid and shall reduce Total Equipment Loans.

(f) Non-Pro Rata Funding of Loans. To the extent that the outstanding Revolving A Loans are not held ratably among the Revolving A Lenders and there is insufficient availability under the Commitment A of any Revolving A Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any requested new Borrowing of Revolving A Loans, such Revolving A Lender shall fund a portion of such Borrowing equal to the unfunded amount of its Commitment A, and the remaining portion of such Borrowing shall be funded ratably by the remaining Revolving A Lenders. To the extent that the outstanding Revolving B Loans are not held ratably among the Revolving B Lenders and there is insufficient availability under the Commitment B of any Revolving B Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any requested new Borrowing of Revolving B Loans, such Revolving B Lender shall fund a portion of such Borrowing equal to the unfunded amount of its Commitment B, and the remaining portion of such Borrowing shall be funded ratably by the remaining Revolving B Lenders. To the extent that the outstanding Revolving C Loans are not held ratably among the Revolving C Lenders and there is insufficient availability under the Commitment C of any Revolving C Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any requested new Borrowing of Revolving C Loans, such Revolving C Lender shall fund a portion of such Borrowing equal to the unfunded amount of its Commitment C, and the remaining portion of such Borrowing shall be funded ratably by the remaining Revolving C Lenders.

(g) Allocation of Payments to New Equipment Loans and Used Equipment Loans. The Administrative Agent may maintain books and records associating each New Equipment Loan and each Used Equipment Loan with specific items of Inventory. The principal amount of each New Equipment Loan shall be deemed reduced by each New Equipment Loan Curtailment Payment associated with such New Equipment Loan and each repayment thereof required under Section 2.8(b), regardless of how such payments are allocated pursuant to Section 2.12. The principal amount of each Used Equipment Loan shall be deemed reduced by each Used Equipment Loan Curtailment Payment associated with such Used Equipment Loan and each repayment thereof required under Section 2.8(b), regardless of how such payments are allocated pursuant to Section 2.12. None of the New Equipment Loans or Used Equipment Loans will be deemed to be reduced as a result of any prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.7.

Section 2.14 Evidence of Debt. (a) Records of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. In addition, each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations to the Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrowers solely for this purpose and solely for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative) a record of ownership (the “Participant Register”), in which such Lender shall register by book entry (A) the name and address of each such participant (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (B) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any payment hereunder.

(b) Records of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrowers solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.14, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower Representative) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, their Commitments, their Loans, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders (and each change thereto pursuant to Section 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders) and Section 11.2 (Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect)), (2) the Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (a) above, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid and (5) any other payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers and its application to the Obligations.

(c) Registered Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 2.14 and Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

(d) Prima Facie Evidence. The entries made in the Register and in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of any Loan Party to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In addition, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register and the Participant Register with respect to any Lender or any participant shall be available for access by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such Lender at any reasonable time during normal business hours and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice of at least three Business Days. No Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent.

(e) Notes. Upon any Lender’s reasonable request, the Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver notes to such Lender evidencing the Loans of such Lender. Each note, if issued, shall only be issued as means to evidence the right, title or interest of a Lender or a registered assignee in and to the related Loan, as set forth in the Register, and in no event shall any note be considered a bearer instrument or obligation.

Section 2.15 Suspension of LIBOR Rate Option. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article 2, the following shall apply:

(a) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the LIBOR Rate is determined, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make or to continue LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative that the Required Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(b) Illegality. If any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower Representative through the Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until such Lender shall, through the Administrative Agent, notify the Borrower Representative that it has determined that it may lawfully make LIBOR Rate Loans.

(c) Effect of Suspension. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans is suspended, (A) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan at any time such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make a LIBOR Rate Loan, (B) the Borrower Representative may revoke any pending request for a LIBOR Rate Loan and (C) each LIBOR Rate Loan of such Lender shall automatically and immediately (or, in the case of any suspension pursuant to clause (a) above, on the last day of the current calendar month) be converted into a Base Rate Loan. For purposes of this Section 2.15(c) and Section 2.16, a “Base Rate Loan” means any Loan that bears interest based on the Base Rate, and “Base Rate” means, for any day, the sum of a rate per annum equal to the higher of (a) the rate last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the United States or, if The Wall Street Journal ceases to quote such rate, the highest per annum interest rate published by the Federal Reserve Board in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (Selected Interest Rates) as the “bank prime loan” rate or, if such rate is no longer quoted therein, any similar rate quoted therein (as determined by the Administrative Agent) or any similar release by the Federal Reserve Board (as determined by the Administrative Agent) and (b) the sum of 3.50% per annum and the Federal Funds Rate. Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in any of the foregoing shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the “Prime Rate”, “bank prime loan” rate or the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.16 Breakage Costs. The Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, upon demand from such Lender to the Borrower Representative (with copy to the Administrative Agent), for all Liabilities (including, in each case, those incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to prepare to fund, to fund or to maintain the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender to the Borrowers) that such Lender may incur (A) to the extent, for any reason other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender, a proposed Borrowing does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Request for Equipment Loan Borrowing or a Request for Working Capital Borrowing or in a similar request made by telephone by the Borrower Representative, (B) to the extent any LIBOR Rate Loan is paid (whether through a scheduled payment, optional prepayment or mandatory repayment) or converted to a Base Rate Loan (but excluding because of Section 2.15) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable calendar month or (C) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrowers to repay LIBOR Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. For purposes of this Section 2.16, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Rate Loan made by it using a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market. Each demand for compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Lender claiming such compensation, setting forth the amounts to be paid hereunder, which certificate shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 2.17 Taxes. (a) Payments Free and Clear of Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.17, each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, but excluding the taxes set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below, the “Taxes”) other than for (i) taxes measured by net income (including branch profits taxes) and overall receipts, total capital or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, in each case imposed on any Secured Party as a result of a present or former connection between such Secured Party and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than such connection arising solely from any Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Document), (ii) taxes that are directly attributable to the failure (other than as a result of a change in any Requirement of Law in effect as of the date such Secured Party becomes a party to this Agreement) by any Secured Party to deliver the forms, certificates or other documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (e) below or (iii) taxes imposed by FATCA on any payment under a Loan Document to a Secured Party.

(b) Gross-Up. Except as provided in this Section 2.17(b), if any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Secured Party (i) such amount shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 2.17), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment; provided, however, that no such increase shall be made with respect to, and no Loan Party shall be required to indemnify any such Secured Party pursuant to clause (d) below for, withholding taxes to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts existed on the date that such Secured Party became a “Secured Party” under this Agreement in the capacity under which such Secured Party makes a claim under this clause (b), except in each case to the extent such Secured Party is a direct or indirect assignee (other than pursuant to Section 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders)) of any other Secured Party that was entitled, at the time the assignment of such other Secured Party became effective, to receive additional amounts under this clause (b).

(c) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay, and authorize the Administrative Agent to pay in their names, any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other Taxes”). Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.11, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(d) Indemnification. Except as provided in Section 2.17(b), the Borrowers shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Administrative Agent), each Secured Party for all Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Each Secured Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to make any claim for payment to which it is entitled under this Section 2.17(d) within a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of its entitlement thereto. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrowers with copy to the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e) Tax Forms.

(i) Each Lender shall (A) on the Restatement Date and on or prior to becoming a Secured Party, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (e) and (D) from time to time if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (or, in the case of a participant, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.

(ii) Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations to the Administrative Agent shall collect from such participant the documents described in this clause (e) and provide them to the Administrative Agent.

(f) If any Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Secured Party shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by any Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to such Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Secured Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that, the Borrowers, upon the request of such Secured Party, shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Secured Party in the event the Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Secured Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other person.

Section 2.18 Substitution of Lenders. (a) Substitution Right. In the event that any Lender (an “Affected Lender”), (i) notifies the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.15(b) (Illegality) that it becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or make any LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.17(b) (Taxes - Gross Up) or (iii) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of such Lender, the Borrowers may either pay in full such Affected Lender with respect to amounts due with the consent of the Administrative Agent or substitute for such Affected Lender any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender or any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to a Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain a Substitute Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender at any time with three Business Days’ prior notice to such Non-Funding Lender (unless notice is not practicable under the circumstances) and cause such Lender’s Loans and Commitments to be sold and assigned, in whole or in part, at par.

(b) Procedure. To substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender as described in the first sentence of clause (a) above, the Borrower Representative shall deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender. The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender, (ii) in the case of a payment in full of the Obligations owing to such Affected Lender, payment of any amount that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitment of such Affected Lender, is required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.8(a) (Excess Outstandings) and (iii) in the case of a substitution, (A) payment of the assignment fee set forth in Section 11.2(c) and (B) an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents and assume the Commitment of the Affected Lender.

(c) Effectiveness. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above or in the case of a substitution of a Non-Funding Lender as described in the last sentence of clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full, such Affected Lender’s Commitments shall be terminated and (ii) in the case of any substitution, (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the relevant Lender Interest Letter, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, (B) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment and (C) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment to evidence such substitution; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as an Affected Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 11.2. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any assignment agreement or other documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 11.2 on behalf of an Affected Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 11.2.

Section 2.19 Incremental Commitments C. (a) The Borrower Representative may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the Revolving C Lenders increase their Commitments C in an aggregate amount equal to $50,000,000. Such notice shall set forth the date on which such increase in the Commitments C is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice). If the Revolving C Lenders agree in their sole discretion to increase their Commitments C, then the Borrowers and the Revolving C Lenders shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Commitment C Increase Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the increase in Commitment C. The terms and provisions of such incremental Commitment C and Revolving C Loans made thereunder shall be identical to those of the existing Commitments C and Revolving C Loans, respectively.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Commitment C Increase Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Commitment C Increase Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the incremental Commitment C and additional Revolving C Loans evidenced thereby and the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, upon the effectiveness of each additional Commitment C, Revolving C Loans made under such incremental Commitment C are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Revolving C Loans on a pro rata basis.

ARTICLE 3
Security INTEREST

To secure payment of all Obligations, Holdings and each Borrower grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, a security interest in all present and future Inventory of Holdings or such Borrower, together with all attachments, accessories, exchanges and additions to (including replacement parts installed in or repairs to) any such Inventory, and all chattel paper, documents, certificates of title, certificates of origin, general intangibles, instruments, accounts and contract rights now existing or hereafter arising with respect thereto, and all cash and non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Collateral").

Borrowers agree that Administrative Agent may directly collect any amount owed to Borrowers with respect to the Collateral (hereafter referred to as an "Account") and credit Borrowers with all sums received by Administrative Agent. With the consent of the Borrower Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent may contact any customer of any Borrower to confirm and verify the terms of sale, payments made on an Account, and any modifications claimed to be made by the Borrowers with such customer of Borrower. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers agree that Administrative Agent may at any time notify any customer of any Borrower of the assignment of said Account and revoke the authority of the Borrowers to collect the same and should the Administrative Agent at any time receive any checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments or orders for money payable to a Borrower to apply to an Account, Administrative Agent is irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact for each such Borrower to endorse each such instrument with the name of the applicable Borrower and collect the same.

(c) To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Administrative Agent, a successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and the Lender Interest Letters.

(a) any Subsidiary of any Borrower from its guaranty of any Obligation of any Loan Party if all of the Securities of such Subsidiary owned by any Group Member are Sold in a Sale permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such Sale, such Subsidiary would not be a Borrower hereunder or required to guaranty any Obligations; and

ARTICLE 11
Miscellaneous

Section 11.1 Amendments, Waivers, Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers (or by the Borrower Representative with the consent of the Borrowers); provided, however, that no amendment, consent or waiver shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of such Lender), in addition to any other Person the signature of which is otherwise required pursuant to any Loan Document, do any of the following:

(i) increase any Commitment of such Lender or subject such Lender to any additional obligation;

(ii) reduce (A) the principal amount of, the interest rate on, or any obligation of the Borrowers to repay (whether or not on a fixed date), any outstanding Loan owing to such Lender, (B) any accrued interest payable to such Lender or (C) any other amount payable to such Lender; provided, however, that this clause (ii) does not apply to (x) any change to any provision increasing any interest rate or fee during the continuance of an Event of Default or to any payment of any such increase or (y) any modification to any financial covenant set forth in Article 5 or in any definition set forth therein or principally used therein;

(iii) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, waive or postpone any scheduled maturity date or other scheduled date fixed for the payment, in whole or in part, of principal of or interest on any Loan, fee or other amount owing to such Lender or for the reduction of any Commitment of such Lender;

(iv) except as provided in Section 10.10, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or any Guarantor from its guaranty of any Obligation of the Borrowers;

(v) reduce or increase the proportion of Lenders required for the Lenders (or any subset thereof) to take any action hereunder or change the definition of the terms “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving A Lenders”, “Required Revolving B Lenders”, or “Pro Rata Share”;

(vi) amend Section 2.4 (Reallocation of Loans), Section 2.7 (Optional Prepayments), Section 2.8 (Mandatory Repayments), Section 2.12 (Application of Payments), Section 10.10 (Release of Collateral or Guarantors), Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) or this Section 11.1; or

(vii) amend Section 7.9 to permit a Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower Representative to become a Borrower hereunder without the prior written consent of all Lenders;

and provided, further, that (y) no amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties under any Loan Document of, or any payment to, the Administrative Agent (or otherwise modify any provision of Article 10 or the application thereof), unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to any signature otherwise required and (z) the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required to change any order of priority set forth in Section 2.12.

(b) Each waiver or consent under any Loan Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated, such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and such Lender shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect. (a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Holdings, the Borrowers (in each case except for Article 10), the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 10.9 hereof), none of Holdings, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.

(b) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans) to (i) any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender), (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender), (iii) any Permitted Transferee or (iv) any other Person (other than the Borrower Representative or its Affiliates) acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower Representative; provided, however, that (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans, and Commitments subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest or is made with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and (y) such Sales by Lenders who are Non-Funding Lenders due to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent in all instances, unless in connection with such sale, such Non-Funding Lender cures, or causes the cure of, its Non-Funding Lender status. The Administrative Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale to a Loan Party, an Affiliate of a Loan Party, or to a Person that would be (or could reasonably be expected to become) a Non-Funding Lender, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon Sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable.

(c) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by the Administrative Agent (or if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the assignment) evidencing such Sale, any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17(e) and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500, provided that (1) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale, (2) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Sale and (3) if a Sale by GE Capital or a Permitted Transferee is made to a Permitted Transferee, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such assignment is made in accordance with Section 11.2(b)(iv), upon the Administrative Agent consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment.

(d) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.14(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that each Lender agrees to remain bound by Article 10, Section 11.8 (Right of Setoff) and Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments).

(e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to the Administrative Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Securities by notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 11.3 Costs and Expenses. Any action taken by any Loan Party under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request of any Secured Party, shall be at the expense of such Loan Party, and no Secured Party shall be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Loan Party or Group Member therefor except as expressly provided therein. In addition, the Borrowers and Holdings agree to pay or reimburse upon demand (a) the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any Lender Interest Letter, any commitment or proposal letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any transaction contemplated therein (including periodic audits in connection therewith and environmental audits and assessments), in each case including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent or such Related Persons, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with COMS^® or any other E-System and allocated to the credit facilities contemplated by this Agreement by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and fees, charges and disbursements of the auditors, appraisers, printers and other of their Related Persons retained by or on behalf of any of them or any of their Related Persons, (b) the Administrative Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with internal audit reviews, field examinations and Collateral examinations (which shall be reimbursed, in addition to the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such examiners, at the per diem rate per individual charged by the Administrative Agent for its examiners), (c) each of the Administrative Agent and its Related Persons for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out”, (ii) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to the Collateral or any other related right or remedy or (iii) the commencement, defense, conduct of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any proceeding (including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related to any Group Member, Loan Document, Obligation (or the response to and preparation for any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) and (d) fees and disbursements of one law firm on behalf of all Lenders (other than the Administrative Agent) incurred in connection with any matters referred to in clause (c) above.

Section 11.4 Indemnities. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any Loan Document, any Disclosure Document, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan, or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Group Member, (ii) any commitment letter, proposal letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of any Group Member or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with any of the foregoing and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any E-Systems or other Electronic Transmissions, (iii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of Securities or creditors (and including attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise, or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that no Borrower shall have any liability under this Section 11.4 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. Furthermore, each of Holdings and each Borrower waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person.

Section 11.5 Survival. Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to any Loan Document (including pursuant to Section 2.17 (Taxes), Section 2.16 (Breakage Costs), Article 10 (The Administrative Agent), Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses), Section 11.4 (Indemnities) or this Section 11.5) and all representations and warranties made in any Loan Document shall (A) survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of other Obligations and (B) inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns.

Section 11.6 Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages. In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). Each of Holdings and each Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive, release and agree) not to xxx upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 11.7 Lender-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of lender and creditor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Loan Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

Section 11.8 Right of Setoff. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by Holdings and the Borrowers), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or any Borrower against any Obligation of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 11.8 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates and other Secured Parties may have.

Section 11.9 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Loan Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Sections 2.16 (Breakage Costs), 2.17 (Taxes), 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders) and 11.2 (Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect) and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents and the Lender Interest Letters, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Secured Parties such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Secured Parties to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrowers, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. If a Non-Funding Lender receives any such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall turn over such payments to Agent.

Section 11.10 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from any Borrower, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

Each of Holdings, each Borrower and each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees, and each of Holdings and each Borrower shall cause each other Group Member to acknowledge and agree, that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions.

(b) Signatures. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.11(a), (i)(A) no posting to any E-System shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically, (B) each PDF or other digital signature on any such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature” and (C) each such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “writing”, in each case including pursuant to any Loan Document, any applicable provision of any UCC, the federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and any substantive or procedural Requirement of Law governing such subject matter, (ii) each such posting that is not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such posting, a PDF or other digital signature, upon which each Secured Party and Loan Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or a PDF or other digital signature shall, for all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original and (iv) each party hereto or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any posting on any E-System or PDF or other digital signature on any such posting under the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit such party’s or beneficiary’s right to contest whether any posting to any E-System or PDF or other digital signature has been altered after transmission.

Each of Holdings, each Borrower and each Secured Party agrees (and each of Holdings and the Borrowers shall cause each other Loan Party to agree) that the Administrative Agent has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System.

The parties hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such jurisdictions.

Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Section 11.18 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents and Lender Interest Letters embody the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter thereof and any prior letter of interest, commitment letter, fee letter, confidentiality and similar agreements involving any Loan Party and any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates relating to a financing of substantially similar form, purpose or effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern (unless such terms of such other Loan Documents are necessary to comply with applicable Requirements of Law, in which case such terms shall govern to the extent necessary to comply therewith).

Section 11.19 Use of Name. Each of Holdings and each Borrower agrees, and shall cause each other Loan Party to agree, that it shall not, and none of its Affiliates shall, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority (i) relating to a public offering of the Securities of any Loan Party or (ii) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to GE Capital or of any of its Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated therein to which the Secured Parties are party without at least 2 Business Days’ prior notice to GE Capital and without the prior consent of GE Capital except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with GE Capital prior thereto (any such consultation not to be required more than once with respect to duplicate references).

Section 11.20 Non-Public Information; Confidentiality. (a) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information hereunder concerning the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and Securities and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and Contractual Obligations and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state security laws and regulations).

(b) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document and designated in writing by any Loan Party as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrower Representative’s consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.20 or (B) available to such Lender or the Administrative Agent or any of their Related Persons, as the case may be, from a source (other than any Loan Party) not known to them to be subject to disclosure restrictions, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements or in any tombstone or other advertising materials (and the Loan Parties consent to the publication of such tombstone or other advertising materials by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Related Persons), (vi) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Loan Parties, (vii) to current or prospective assignees, grantees of any option described in Section 11.2 or participants, direct or contractual counterparties to any swap agreement permitted hereunder and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, participants, counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 11.20 (and such Person may disclose information to their respective Related Persons in accordance with clause (ii) above), (viii) to any other party hereto and (ix) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent or any of their Related Persons is a party or bound, to the extent necessary to respond to public statements or disclosures by Loan Parties or their Related Persons referring to a Lender or the Administrative Agent or any of their Related Persons. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 11.20 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Loan Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 11.20 shall govern. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of information as provided in this Section 11.20 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent may receive from and disclose to any individual, corporation, business trust, association, company, partnership, joint venture, or other entity (herein collectively, the "Entity"), including, without limitation, Administrative Agent's parent or any affiliate or any subsidiary of Administrative Agent and any credit reporting agency or other entity whether or not related to Administrative Agent for any purpose, information about any Loan Party’s accounts, credit application and credit experience with Administrative Agent and each Loan Party authorizes any Entity to release to Administrative Agent any information related to such Loan Party’s accounts, credit experience and account information regarding such Loan Party. This shall be continuing authorization for all present and future disclosures of the Loan Parties’ account information, credit application and credit experience on the Loan Parties made by Administrative Agent, or any Entity requested to release such information to Administrative Agent.

Section 11.21 Actions in Concert. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights against any Loan Party arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, it being the intent of the Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

Section 11.22 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender subject to the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (31 U.S.C. 5318 et seq.) hereby notifies the Borrowers that, pursuant to Section 326 thereof, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, including the name and address of each Borrower and other information allowing such Lender to identify each such Borrower in accordance with such act.

Section 11.23 Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. On the Restatement Date, the Original Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and (i) all references to the Original Credit Agreement in any Loan Document other than this Agreement (including in any amendment, waiver or consent) shall be deemed to refer to the Original Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby, (ii) all references to any section (or subsection) of the Original Credit Agreement in any Loan Document (but not herein) shall be amended to be, mutatis mutandis, references to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, and (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be reference to the Original Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby. This Agreement is not intended to constitute, and does not constitute, a novation of the obligations and liabilities under the Original Credit Agreement (including the Obligations) or to evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities. Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document, this Agreement (i) shall not cure any breach of the Original Credit Agreement or any “Default” or “Event of Default” thereunder existing prior to the Restatement Date and (ii) is limited as written and is not a consent to any other modification of any term or condition of any Loan Document, each of which shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall not in any way release or impair the rights, duties, Obligations (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) or Liens (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) created pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined therein) or affect the relative priorities thereof, in each case to the extent in force and effect thereunder as of the Restatement Date and except as modified hereby or by documents, instruments and agreements executed and delivered in connection herewith and all of such rights, duties, Obligations and Liens are assumed, ratified and affirmed by each of the Loan Parties. All Liens created under the Original Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document. As amended hereby, all terms of the Original Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect and shall constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Loan Parties party thereto.

Section 11.24 Reaffirmation of Guaranty. Holdings consents to the execution and delivery by all Borrowers of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions described herein, and ratifies and confirms the terms of its guarantee of all Obligations with respect to the indebtedness now or hereafter outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement as amended hereby. Holdings acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other document evidencing any indebtedness of any Borrower to the Lenders or any other obligation of any Borrower, or any actions now or hereafter taken by the Lenders with respect to any obligation of any Borrower, the guarantee by Holdings of all Obligations (i) is and shall continue to be a primary obligation of Holdings, (ii) is and shall continue to be an absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable guaranty of payment, and (iii) is and shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained herein to the contrary shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Holdings with respect to the Obligations as amended hereby.

ARTICLE 12
CROSS-GUARANTY

Section 12.1 Cross-Guaranty. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by each other Borrower (“Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Article 12 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Article 12 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:

(a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower is or may become a party;

(b) the absence of any action, against any Person other than such Borrower, to enforce this Agreement (including this Article 12) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

(c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

(d) the insolvency of any Loan Party; or

(e) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 12.2 Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Loan Party, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Article 12 and such waivers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.

Section 12.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Article 12 are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.

Section 12.4 Subordination of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 12.7, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Obligations are paid in full in cash and the applicable preference period has passed. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower's liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Article 12, and that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 12.4.

Section 12.5 Election of Remedies. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving the Administrative Agent or such Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non judicial sale or enforcement, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Article 12. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to "election of remedies" or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that such Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower's obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee's sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether the Administrative Agent, Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Article 12, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which the Administrative Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

Section 12.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Borrower's liability under this Article 12 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable under Article 2) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of:

(a) the net amount of all Loans advanced to any other Borrower under this Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower; and

(b) the amount that could be claimed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from such Borrower under this Article 12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower's right of contribution and indemnification from each other Borrower under Section 12.7.

Section 12.7 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.

(a) To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Article 12 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a "Guarantor Payment") that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower's "Allocable Amount" (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following payment in full in cash of the Obligations, termination of the Commitments and the passage of the applicable preference period, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

(b) As of any date of determination, the "Allocable Amount" of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Article 12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

(c) This Section 12.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 12.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 12.1. Nothing contained in this Section 12.7 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to such Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

(d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Borrowers to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(e) The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Loan Parties under this Section 12.7 shall be exercisable upon the full and final payment of the Obligations, the termination of the Commitments and the passage of the applicable preference period.

Section 12.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of the Borrowers under this Article 12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.
