The amount so received by Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower by depositing the same, in immediately available funds in an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower. If any Lender provides Agent with a Declining Lender Notice (pursuant to the terms hereof), Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower that one or more of the Lenders have elected not to fund further borrowings.

(i) Subject to Section 2.2(a), Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Agent in accordance with clause (b) below:

(1) elect, as of any Business Day, to convert any Loans (or any part thereof in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 a higher integral multiple of $500,000) into Loans of the other type; or

(2) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Term SOFR Interest Period, to continue any SOFR Loans bearing interest based on Term SOFR having Term SOFR Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $500,000) for a new Term SOFR Interest Period;

provided that after giving effect to any prepayment, conversion or continuation, the aggregate principal amount of each Group of SOFR Loans bearing interest based on Term SOFR shall be at least $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $500,000.

(ii) Borrower shall give written notice (each such written notice, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit F or telephonic notice (followed immediately by a Notice of Conversion/Continuation) to Agent of each proposed conversion or continuation not later than (i) in the case of conversion into Base Rate Loans, 10:00 A.M., Chicago time, on the proposed date of such conversion and (ii) in the case of conversion into or continuation of SOFR Loans, 10:00 A.M., Chicago time, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of such conversion or continuation, specifying in each case:

(1) the proposed date of conversion or continuation;

(2) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued;

(3) the type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

(4) in the case of conversion into, or continuation of, SOFR Loans bearing interest based on Term SOFR, the duration of the requested Term SOFR Interest Period therefor.

(iii) If upon the expiration of any Term SOFR Interest Period applicable to SOFR Loans, Borrower has failed to select timely a new Term SOFR Interest Period to be applicable to such SOFR Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such SOFR Loans into Base Rate Loans effective on the last day of such Term SOFR Interest Period.

(iv) Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a notice of conversion or continuation pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) or, if no timely notice is provided by Borrower, of the details of any automatic conversion.

(v) Any conversion of a SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of a Term SOFR Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section 8.4.

(d) Swing Line Facility.

(i) Agent shall notify the Swing Line Lender upon Agent’s receipt of any Notice of Borrowing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, ON AN UNCOMMITTED AND ABSOLUTELY DISCRETIONARY BASIS, make available from time to time until the Termination Date advances (each, a “Swing Line Loan”) in accordance with any such notice, notwithstanding that after making a requested Swing Line Loan, the sum of the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Outstandings and all outstanding Swing Line Loans, may exceed the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Facility. The provisions of this Section 2.2(d) shall not relieve Lenders of their obligations (if any) to make Revolving Loans under Section 2.1(b); provided that if the Swing Line Lender makes a Swing Line Loan pursuant to any such notice, such Swing Line Loan shall be in lieu of any Revolving Loan that otherwise may be made by the Lenders pursuant to such notice. The aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding shall not exceed at any time Swing Line Availability. Until the Termination Date, Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.2(d). Each Swing Line Loan shall be made pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing delivered by Borrower to Agent in accordance with Section 2.2(b). Any such notice must be given no later than 1:00 P.M., Chicago time, on the Business Day of the proposed Swing Line Loan. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice from the Required Lenders instructing it not to make a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender shall, notwithstanding the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 12.2 and notwithstanding the delivery of a Declining Lender Notice by any other Lender, be entitled to fund that Swing Line Loan ON AN UNCOMMITTED AND ABSOLUTELY DISCRETIONARY BASIS on the same Business Day on which such Notice of Borrowing is delivered, and to have each Lender with a Revolving Facility Portion make Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(d)(iii) or purchase participating interests in accordance with Section 2.2(d)(iv). Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined at the time such Swing Line Loan is made) of the amount of such Swing Line Loan. NEITHER THE SWING LINE LENDER NOR ANY OTHER LENDER SHALL HAVE ANY COMMITMENT OR OBLIGATION TO MAKE OR PARTICIPATE IN, AS APPLICABLE, ANY SWING LINE LOAN HEREUNDER UNLESS AND UNTIL THE SWING LINE LENDER OR SUCH OTHER LENDER AFFIRMATIVELY AGREES

OR IS DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED UNDER SECTION 2.7 TO MAKE OR PARTICIPATE IN, AS THE CASE MAY BE, SUCH REQUESTED SWING LINE LOAN. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each Swing Line Loan shall constitute a Daily Simple SOFR Loan. Borrower shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Loan on the earliest to occur of (A) the date that is ten (10) days after a REQUIRED LENDERS’ DEMAND is made or demand therefor by the Swing Line Lender or Agent and (B) the Termination Date.

(ii) The entire unpaid balance of each Swing Line Loan and all other noncontingent Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Termination Date if not sooner paid in full.

(iii) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time no less frequently than once weekly, shall on behalf of Borrower (and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so act on its behalf) request each Lender with a Revolving Facility Portion (including the Swing Line Lender and including any (I) Declining Lender in respect of Swing Line Loans made prior to the effectiveness of its Declining Lender Notice and (II) Demanding Lender in respect of Swing Line Loans made prior to the effectiveness of its Lender Demand) to make a Revolving Loan to Borrower (which shall be a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of all Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loan”) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Such request shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing for purposes hereof and shall be made without regard to the minimum amounts, integral multiples and advance notice periods specified in Section 2.2(b)(i). Unless any of the events described in Section 13.1(d) has occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.2(d)(iv) shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving Loan are then satisfied, each Lender shall disburse directly to Agent, its Pro Rata Share on behalf of the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, (x) prior to 2:00 P.M., Chicago time, on the date that notice is given, if such notice is given by 11:00 A.M., Chicago time, on such date, and (y) otherwise, prior to 2:00 P.M., Chicago time, on the Business Day immediately following the date that notice is given. The proceeds of those Revolving Loans shall be immediately paid to the Swing Line Lender and applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loan.

(iv) If, prior to refunding a Swing Line Loan with a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(iii), (A) one of the events described in Section 13.1(d) has occurred, (B) a REQUIRED LENDERS’ DEMAND has been made (or a Required Lenders’ Demand is deemed made pursuant to Section 2.7(d)), (C) the Termination Date has occurred or (D) any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan requested pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(iii), then, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(d)(v) below, each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made for the benefit of Borrower, fund its participation interest in the Swing Line Loan purchased pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(i) in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan. Upon request, each Lender shall promptly transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation interest.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(d)(iii) and to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section 2.2(d)(iv) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (iii) any inability of Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time or (iv) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made such amount available to Agent or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, by 2:00 P.M., Chicago time, the amount required pursuant to Sections 2.2(d)(iii) or 2.2(d)(iv), as the case may be, on the Business Day immediately

following the date on which such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives notice from Agent of such payment or disbursement (it being understood that any such notice received after noon, Chicago time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day), such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay interest on such amount to Agent for the Swing Line Lender’s account forthwith on demand, for each day from the date such amount was to have been delivered to Agent to the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to (a) for the first three days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and (b) thereafter, the Base Rate from time to time in effect.

(e) Agent Advances. Subject to the limitations set forth in this subsection, Agent is hereby authorized by Borrower and Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion (and subject to the terms of this paragraph, the making of each Agent Advance shall be deemed to be a request by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Lenders to make such Agent Advance), (i) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, will become an Event of Default, or (ii) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 12.2 hereof have not been satisfied (including without limitation the conditions precedent that the aggregate Revolving Outstandings do not exceed the Revolving Loan Availability), to make Revolving Loans to Borrower on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its sole discretion, determined in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the business conducted by any Loan Party, the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (C) to pay any amount chargeable to any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (any of the advances described in this subsection being hereafter referred to as “Agent Advances”); provided, that (x) the outstanding amount of Agent Advances does not exceed at any time the greater of (i) $30,000,000 and (ii) 10% of the Maximum Revolving Amount, (y) the aggregate Revolving Outstandings and Swing Line Outstandings does not exceed Revolving Loan Availability, and (z) Agent has not been notified by Required Lenders to cease making such Agent Advances. For all purposes in this Agreement, Agent Advances shall be treated as Revolving Loans and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan. Agent Advances shall be repaid on demand by Agent.

2.3 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 P.M., Chicago time, to the account of Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Presumption by Agent. Unless Agent shall have received a Declining Lender Notice pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.7 in respect of any Revolving Loan, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption but without any obligation to do so, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Revolving Loan available to Agent, then the applicable Lender on the one hand, and the Borrower on the other hand, severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, for the first three Business Days the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and thereafter at the Base Rate and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, 2% plus the Base Rate. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Loan to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving

Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. A notice of Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.3(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.4 Funding Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender (other than a Declining Lender) to make a requested Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make a Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by such other Lender.

2.5 Certain Conditions. WITHOUT LIMITING THE UNCOMMITTED, ABSOLUTELY DISCRETIONARY AND DEMAND NATURE OF THE REVOLVING FACILITY AND THE SWING LINE FACILITY, and except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.2(d) and 2.7, no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Loan, or to permit the continuation of or any conversion into any SOFR Loan bearing interest based on Term SOFR, if an Event of Default or Default exists. The satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 12.2, and the performance by the Loan Parties of their covenants hereunder, shall not obligate any Lender to make, or to participate in, any Loan.

2.6 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 15.1.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 13 or otherwise) or received by Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Agent; fourth, if so determined by Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or Swing Line Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Swing Line Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 12.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in

accordance with the Revolving Facility Portions without giving effect to clause (iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Facility Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee described in Section 5.1 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Facility Portion) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Facility Portion. Subject to Section 15.4, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, Agent and each Swing Line Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Facility Portions (without giving effect to Section 2.6(a)(iv) above), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Swing Line Loans. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swing Line Lender shall be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan.

(d) Termination of Defaulting Lender. Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Facility Portion of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.6(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim Borrower, Agent, any Swing Line Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

2.7 The Election of Approving Lenders to Continue Funding; Lender Demands.

(a) If on any date one or more Lenders provides Agent with, and Agent has actually received, a written notice in the form of Exhibit O (a “Declining Lender Notice”) indicating that for reasons other than an Event of Default such Lender or Lenders have elected not to fund any additional Loans (in any such event, such Lender or Lenders to be referred to herein as a “Declining Lender” or “Declining Lenders”), Agent shall promptly distribute to the Borrower and the Lenders other than the Declining Lenders a written notice of such Declining Lenders. Any Declining Lender Notice received by Agent prior to 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on any Business Day from any Declining Lender shall be effective with respect to such Declining Lender on such Business Day, and any Declining Lender Notice received by Agent at or after 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on any Business Day, or on any day that is not a Business Day, shall be effective on the immediately succeeding Business Day. A Declining Lender shall not be required to fund any Revolving Loan requested pursuant to any Notice of Borrowing delivered to Agent on or after the date on which such Declining Lender Notice becomes effective; provided that no Declining Lender Notice shall relieve such Declining Lender of its obligations with respect to (i) any Revolving Loan requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing delivered to Agent prior to the effectiveness of such Declining Lender Notice, or (ii) the funding of Revolving Loans or the purchase and funding of participation interests in respect of any Swing Line Loan made prior to the effectiveness of such Declining Lender Notice, in each case pursuant to Section 2.2(d).

(b) On and after the date on which any Declining Lender Notice becomes effective, if the Lender or Lenders which are not the Declining Lenders desire, in their full and absolute discretion, they may (on a pro rata basis among the Lenders that have elected to continue funding in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares thereof) make the full amount or any part of any Revolving Loan requested on or after such date, irrespective of the Declining Lenders’ disapproval (in such case, the Lenders that provide written notice in the form of Exhibit P to Agent of their election to continue funding (each, an “Approving Lender Notice”) shall be referred to as the “Approving Lenders” and any Lender which does not provide such notice shall be deemed to be a Declining Lender); provided that no Lender’s Revolving Facility Portion shall be exceeded without its written consent. In such event, from the date on which such Declining Lender Notice becomes effective (each, a “Conversion to Approving Lenders Funding Date”) and each subsequent Business Day until the Termination Date, all subsequent Revolving Loans shall be made unilaterally by the Approving Lenders, no Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans thereafter made shall be participated in by the Declining Lenders, and the Pro Rata Share of each such Declining Lender with respect to each such Loan shall be 0%.

(c) Any Lender may at any time, whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists, and without providing any reason or cause therefore, DEMAND repayment of the entire outstanding principal amount of its Revolving Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (each such demand, a “Lender Demand”, and each such Lender that makes a Lender Demand, a “Demanding Lender”). Any Lender Demand received by Agent and Borrower prior to 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on any Business Day from any Demanding Lender shall be effective on such Business Day, and any Lender Demand received by Agent and Borrower at or after 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on any Business Day, or on any day that is not a Business Day, shall be effective on the immediately succeeding Business Day. Upon the effectiveness of any Lender Demand, (1) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, within ten (10) days of the date such Lender Demand becomes effective and for the account of such Demanding Lender, the entire outstanding principal amount of such Demanding Lender’s Revolving Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (2) the Revolving Facility Portion of such Demanding Lender shall automatically be reduced to $0 and its Pro Rata Share with respect to each Revolving Loan requested or made after such date shall be 0%, and (3) the Pro Rata Shares of the remaining Lenders shall be rebalanced in accordance with the definition of Pro Rata Shares to reflect the reduction of such Demanding Lender’s Revolving Facility Portion to $0 and its Pro Rata Share to 0%. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the

contrary, no Lender Demand shall relieve such Demanding Lender of its obligations with respect to the purchase and funding of participation interests in respect of any Swing Line Loan made prior to the effectiveness of such Lender Demand, in each case pursuant to Section 2.2(d).

(d) A Lender Demand shall not terminate the Revolving Facility or the Revolving Facility Portions of the other Lenders and shall not affect the right of the Required Lenders to make a Required Lenders’ Demand; provided that, if one or more Lenders whose aggregate Pro Rata Shares as of the Restatement Effective Date would constitute the Required Lenders deliver a Lender Demand, then a Required Lenders’ Demand shall be deemed to have been made for all purposes under this Agreement and the Revolving Facility and all Revolving Facility Portions shall automatically terminate and neither any Lender nor the Swing Line Lender shall have any obligation to consider making any further Loans hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7, the delivery of a Declining Lender Notice by any Lender shall not limit or condition the right of the Swing Line Lender to fund any Swing Line Loan on the Business Day on which the related Notice of Borrowing is delivered in accordance with Section 2.2(d).

Section 3.
EVIDENCING OF LOANS.

3.1 Notes. At a Lender’s request, the Loans of such Lender shall be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of such Lender in a face principal amount equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Facility Portion.

3.2 Recordkeeping. Agent, on behalf of each Lender, shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Loan made by each Lender, each repayment or conversion thereof and, in the case of each SOFR Loan bearing interest based on Term SOFR, the dates on which each Term SOFR Interest Period for such Loan shall begin and end. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the Loans owing and unpaid. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of Borrower hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans hereunder, together with all interest accruing thereon. In the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Lender and the records maintained by Agent in such matters, the records of Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Section 4.
INTEREST.

4.1 Interest Rates. Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full as follows:

(i) at all times while such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Base Rate Margin from time to time in effect; and

(ii) at all times while such Loan is not a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the SOFR Interest Rate plus the SOFR Margin from time to time in effect;

provided that at any time an Event of Default exists and is continuing, unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent, the interest rate applicable to each Loan shall be increased by 2% (and, in the case of

Obligations outstanding at that time, not bearing interest, such Obligations shall bear interest at the Base Rate applicable to Revolving Loans plus 2%), provided further that such increase shall thereafter be rescinded by the Required Lenders, notwithstanding Section 15.1, upon Borrower curing the Event of Default (if such Event of Default is capable of being cured). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 13.1(a) or 13.1(d), such increase shall occur automatically. In no event shall interest payable by Borrower to any Lender hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law, and if any such provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law, such provision shall be deemed modified to limit such interest to the maximum rate permitted under such law.

4.2 Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan and each SOFR Loan bearing interest based on Daily Simple SOFR shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar month and at maturity. Accrued interest on each SOFR Loan bearing interest based on Term SOFR shall be payable on the last day of each Term SOFR Interest Period (but in any event no less than quarterly) relating to such Loan, upon a prepayment of such Loan, and at maturity. After maturity, and at any time an Event of Default exists, accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand.

4.3 Setting and Notice of Interest Rates. The applicable Base Rate or SOFR rate shall be determined by Agent, and notice thereof shall be given by Agent promptly to Borrower and each Lender. Each determination of the applicable Base Rate or SOFR rate by Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of demonstrable error. Agent shall, upon written request of Borrower or any Lender, deliver to Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the computations used by Agent in determining any applicable SOFR rate hereunder.

4.4 Computation of Interest. Interest on any applicable portion of the outstanding principal balance of a Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (ii) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (or 365/366 day year in the case of a Base Rate Loan) by (iii) such portion of the outstanding principal balance of such Loan. Such interest shall be calculated on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination. The applicable Base Rate, Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR shall be determined by Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

4.5 Initial Interest Period for Term SOFR Loans. Borrower shall select a Term SOFR Interest Period for each SOFR Loan not later than 1:00 P.M. (Chicago time) on the day of the proposed commencement of such SOFR Loan. Such notice by Borrower of its selection shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone, in the form of a written notice of its selection, specifying (i) the proposed date of such proposed commencement of such SOFR Loan, and (ii) the duration of the selected Term SOFR Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each notice of its selection shall be irrevocable by and binding on Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a notice of its selection, Agent shall notify each applicable Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed selection. If Borrower fails to timely select such Term SOFR Interest Period as aforesaid, the Term SOFR Interest Period shall be a one-month Term SOFR Interest Period.

4.6 Continuation of Term SOFR Loans. So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall maintain a SOFR Loan as a SOFR Loan by selecting a new Term SOFR Interest Period for such SOFR Loan. Each new Term SOFR Interest Period selected under Section 2.2 shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Term SOFR Interest Period. Each selection of a new Term SOFR Interest Period shall be made by Borrower giving to Agent a written notice of Continuation not later than 1:00 P.M. (Chicago time) on the day of any such Continuation. Such notice

by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of a Continuation shall be by telephone: or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone, in the form of a written notice of Continuation, specifying (i) the proposed date of such Continuation, (ii) the SOFR Loans subject to such Continuation and (iii) the duration of the selected Term SOFR Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a notice of Continuation, Agent shall notify each applicable Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Continuation. If Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Term SOFR Interest Period for any such SOFR Loan in accordance with this Section 4.6, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Term SOFR Interest Period therefor, continue as a SOFR Loan with the Term SOFR Interest Period previously selected by Borrower for such Loan. If a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such SOFR Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Term SOFR Interest Period therefor, continue as a SOFR Loan with a one-month Term SOFR Interest Period.

Any such reduction shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. Concurrently with any reduction of the Revolving Facility to zero, Borrower shall pay all interest on the Revolving Loans, and all fees and reimbursable costs outstanding.

(ii) If on any day on which the Revolving Facility is reduced pursuant to Section 6.1 the Revolving Outstandings plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans exceeds the

6.3 Manner of Prepayments. Each voluntary partial prepayment shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a higher integral multiple of $50,000. Any partial prepayment of a Group of SOFR Loans shall be subject to the proviso to Section 2.2(c)(i). Any prepayment of a SOFR Loan bearing interest based on Term SOFR on a day other than the last day of a Term SOFR Interest Period therefor shall include interest on the principal amount being repaid and shall be subject to Section 8.4. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, all principal payments in respect of the Loans (other than the Swing Line Loans) shall be applied first, to repay outstanding Base Rate Loans, second to repay outstanding SOFR Loans bearing interest based on Daily Simple SOFR, and third to repay outstanding SOFR Loans bearing interest based on Term SOFR, in direct order of Term SOFR Interest Period maturities in the case of SOFR Loans bearing interest based on Term SOFR.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.2, Section 7.5 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any repayment of principal made pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be applied solely to the Revolving Loans of the Demanding Lender making such Lender Demand; provided that the application of payments and proceeds of Collateral following an Acceleration Event shall be governed by Section 7.2(iv). The Borrower’s obligation to pay the Revolving Loans upon DEMAND is absolute and unconditional and is not subject to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or to the satisfaction of any other condition.

7.1 Making of Payments. All payments of principal or interest on the Note(s), and of all fees, shall be made by Borrower to Agent in immediately available funds at the office specified by Agent not later than noon, Chicago time, on the date due; and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by Agent on the following Business Day. Subject to Section 2.6, Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its share of all such payments received in collected funds by Agent for the account of such Lender. All payments under Section 8.1 shall be made by Borrower directly to the Lender entitled thereto without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.

7.2 Application of Certain Payments.

(i) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (a) payments matching specific scheduled payments then due shall be applied to those scheduled payments and (b) voluntary and mandatory prepayments shall be applied as set forth in Sections 6.2 and 6.3. Concurrently with each remittance to any Lender of its share of any such payment, Agent shall advise such Lender as to the application of such payment.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of payments received from or on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees, as between Borrower on the one hand and Agent and Lenders on the other, that Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the Obligations as Agent may deem advisable excluding any previous entry by Agent in the loan account maintained by Agent with respect to the Loans or any other books and records.

(iii) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but absent the occurrence and continuance of an Acceleration Event, Agent shall apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations, and any and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, to the Obligations in the following order: first, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to Agent with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on Agent Advances; third, to Agent Advances; fourth, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to any Lender or its Affiliates with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral; fifth, to accrued and unpaid interest on all other Obligations; sixth, ratably to the principal amount of all other Obligations then due and owing and to the Obligations owing to any Lender or its Affiliates in respect of any Hedging Obligations (to the extent such Hedging Obligations constitute Obligations then due and owing to any Lender); seventh, to all other outstanding Obligations (other than those described in clauses eighth below); and eighth, to provide cash collateral to secure any contingent Obligations, including Obligations in respect of Hedging Obligations.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if an Acceleration Event shall have occurred, and so long as it continues, Agent shall apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations, and any and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, in the following order: first, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to Agent with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on Agent Advances; third, to Agent Advances; fourth, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to any Lender or its Affiliates with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral; fifth, to accrued and unpaid interest on all other Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); sixth, ratably to the principal amount of all other Obligations outstanding and to the Obligations owing to any Lender or its Affiliates in respect of any Hedging Obligations (to the extent such Hedging Obligations constitute Obligations then due and owing to any Lender); and seventh, to all other outstanding Obligations and contingent Obligations. Notwithstanding Section 6.4(a) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, and so long as it continues, (A) the provisions of this Section 7.2(iv) shall govern the application of all payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, (B) no amount shall be applied to the Revolving Loans of any Demanding Lender otherwise than ratably with the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders in accordance with clause sixth above, in each case notwithstanding any Lender Demand made prior to, on or after the occurrence of such Acceleration Event and whether or not the ten (10) day period referred to in Section 6.4(a)(ii) has expired,

and (C) any amount received by any Demanding Lender in respect of a Lender Demand on or after the occurrence of such Acceleration Event in excess of the amount to which such Demanding Lender is entitled under clause sixth above shall be subject to Section 7.5 as if the carve-out set forth in Section 6.4(a) did not apply.

(v) Any balance remaining after giving effect to the applications set forth in this Section 7.2 shall be delivered to Borrower or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out any of the applications set forth in this Section 7.2, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment or cash collateral in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.

(vi) Agent is authorized (but not obligated) to, and at its sole election may, charge to the Revolving Loan balance on behalf of Borrower and cause to be paid all fees, expenses, costs (including insurance premiums in accordance with Section 10.3) and interest and principal, owing by Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if and to the extent Borrower fails to promptly pay any such amounts as and when due, even if such charges would cause the balance of the aggregate Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Borrowing Base but not if such charges would cause the aggregate Advances to exceed the Maximum Revolving Amount. Any charges so made shall, unless prohibited by Applicable Law, constitute part of the Revolving Loan hereunder and may be made regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section 12.2 are then satisfied, including the existence of any Default or Event of Default either before or after giving effect thereto.

7.3 Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day (including any such amounts that are due following the delivery of a Demand under Section 2.1(d) or Section 2.7), then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a SOFR Loan bearing interest based on Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR, such immediately following Business Day is the first Business Day of a calendar month, in which case such due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day, subject to any applicable Benchmark Conforming Changes) and, in the case of principal, additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.

7.4 Setoff. Borrower and each other Loan Party, agrees that Agent and each Lender have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by Applicable Law, and in addition thereto, Borrower and each other Loan Party, agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists and is continuing, Agent and each Lender may apply to the payment of any Obligations of Borrower and each other Loan Party hereunder, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of Borrower and each other Loan Party then or thereafter with Agent or such Lender.

7.5 Proration of Payments. Except as provided in Section 2.6 and Section 6.4(a), if any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise), on account of principal of or interest on any Loan (but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 8 or 15.6) in excess of its applicable Pro Rata Share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on the Loans (or such participation) then held by them, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.4(a) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Borrower shall declare bankruptcy or be adjudicated bankrupt, or shall

otherwise become the subject of any proceeding under any debtor relief laws, within ninety (90) days after the date on which any payment is made to any Lender pursuant to a Lender Demand, then, to the extent such payment is not required to be returned, avoided or otherwise disgorged as a preferential payment or preferential transfer under the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to any order of any bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction, such Lender shall nonetheless return such payment to Agent forthwith upon demand by Agent, and Agent shall apply the amount so returned in accordance with Section 7.2, in each case as if such payment constituted a preferential transfer required to be returned under the Bankruptcy Code. The obligation of each Lender under this paragraph is absolute and unconditional, shall not be affected by the absence of any determination by any bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. Upon any return of a payment pursuant to this Section 7.5, the applicable Obligations shall automatically be reinstated to the extent of such returned payment and shall continue to constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to the benefits of the Loan Documents.

7.6 Advances by Agent. Each Lender shall make the amount of each borrowing to be made by it hereunder available to Agent in immediately available funds at Agent’s office not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the proposed date thereof. Agent will make all such funds so received available to Borrower in like funds, by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with the instructions provided in the applicable borrowing request. Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the specified date of borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to Agent the Loan to be made by such Lender on such date, Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Loan available to Agent on the date of the requested borrowing and Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower the amount of such Loan to be provided by such Lender and such Lender shall be liable to Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon Agent’s demand therefor, Agent will promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to Agent. Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan as provided in Section 4.1 or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Rate. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower does not waive any claim that it may have against a Defaulting Lender.

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

7.8 Deductions by Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it under this Agreement, then Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to Agent, until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and for application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under this Agreement, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by Agent in its discretion.

7.9 Taxes.

(i) All payments made by a Loan Party hereunder or under any Loan Documents shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all payments hereunder or under the Loan Documents (including any payment of principal, interest, or fees) to, or for the benefit, of any person shall be made by the Loan Party free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for, or account of, any Taxes now or hereinafter imposed by any taxing authority.

(ii) If a Loan Party shall be required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Agent) to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to any Recipient hereunder or any other Loan Document: (i) such Loan Party shall make such deductions; (ii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law; and (iii) if the Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased by the Loan Party as much as shall be necessary so that after making all the required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.9), the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it should have received had no such deductions been made. In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Loan Parties to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(iii) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify, and within ten (10) days of demand therefor, pay Agent and each other Recipient for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and other liabilities, out-of-pocket expenses and costs related thereto (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ or tax advisors’ fees and disbursements and Taxes imposed on amounts received under this Section 7.9) that are paid by, or imposed on, Agent or such other Recipient (and any of their respective affiliates), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A demand as to the amount of such payment or liability (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail) delivered to the Loan Parties by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Lender that is not a United States person within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30) (a “Non-U.S. Participant”) shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date (or in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee, on the date of such assignment to such Lender) two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable form prescribed by the IRS) certifying to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entitlement to a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate in, United States federal withholding tax on interest payments to be made hereunder or any Loan. If a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Participant is claiming exemption from withholding on interest pursuant to Code Sections 871(h) or 881(c), the Lender shall deliver (along with two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable) a certificate in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”). In addition, each Lender that is a Non-U.S. Participant agrees that from time to time after the Restatement Effective Date, (or in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee, after the date of the assignment to such Lender), when a lapse in time (or change in circumstances occurs) renders the prior certificates hereunder obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender shall, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, deliver to Borrower and Agent two new and accurate and complete original signed copies of an IRS

Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable forms prescribed by the IRS), and if applicable, a new U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender or Agent to an exemption from, or reduction in, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made hereunder or any Loan, or promptly notify Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement, whether made by any Loan Party or Agent, would be subject to United States federal withholding taxes imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their applicable obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with the such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(A) Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Participant shall provide two properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor or other applicable form) to Borrower and Agent certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding tax. To the extent that a form provided pursuant to this Section 7.9 is rendered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect as result of change in circumstances with respect to the status of a Lender, such Lender shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, deliver to Borrower and Agent revised forms necessary to confirm or establish the entitlement to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s or Agent’s exemption from United States backup withholding tax or promptly notify Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(v) Each Lender agrees to severally indemnify Agent and hold Agent harmless for the full amount of any and all present or future Taxes and related liabilities (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses, and any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to Agent under this Section 7.9) which are imposed on or with respect to principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender hereunder and which are not paid by a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 7.9, whether or not such Taxes or related liabilities were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 10 days from the date Agent makes written demand therefor. A demand as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this paragraph (e).

(vi) If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.9 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.9), it shall, so long as no Event of Default is occurring, pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 7.9(vi) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.9(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 7.9(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed

and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(vii) Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.9 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Facility Portions and the Loan Documents, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 8.
FUNDING LOSSES; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS.

8.1 Increased Costs.

(i) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender, (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, out of pocket cost or expense (other than Taxes) directly affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan outstanding, or to increase the out of pocket cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such request and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, not otherwise offset or reduced by any savings realized by such Change in Law.

(ii) If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a direct result of and to the extent of Lender’s obligations hereunder, to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), by an amount deemed by Lender or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, upon demand by Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for any such reduction actually suffered, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is nine months prior to the date on which the Lender first made demand therefore, (except that, if the Change in Law giving

rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

8.2 Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 15.24, (i) if Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Daily Simple SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on or prior to the first day of any Term SOFR Interest Period, or (ii) Agent or Required Lenders (by notice to Agent) determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR for any requested Term SOFR Interest Period, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of funding such Loan, Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by Agent to Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Term SOFR Interest Periods) until Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Term SOFR Interest Periods) or, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Term SOFR Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 8.4.

8.3 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower (through Agent), any obligation of such Lender to make or continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended, in each case until such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ notifies Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 8.4.

8.4 Compensation for Losses. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan or the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the payment date therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default) or the last day of the Term SOFR Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), or (b) the failure to convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any net loss, out of pocket cost and expense directly attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth the basis for any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, accompanied by a statement setting for the basis for the amount being claimed, shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

8.7 Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement of Lenders.

(i) Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and

not, in such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Sections 7.9 or 8.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 8.2 or 8.3 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify Borrower and Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender will designate a different funding office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to Borrower of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and such designation will not, in such Lender’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(ii) If (i) Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Sections 7.9 or 8.1, or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 8.2 or 8.3 and in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 8.7, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 15.1, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Agent, designate another bank which is acceptable to Agent in its reasonable discretion (such other bank being called a “Replacement Lender”) to purchase the Loans of such Lender, such Lender’s rights hereunder (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 7.9 or Section 8.1), and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, provided that: (A) the purchase price is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Lender and any other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement (including any amounts under Section 8.4), and to assume all the obligations of such Lender hereunder, and, upon such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), such Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Lender prior to the date of such purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to Borrower hereunder, and the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder; (B) in the case of any such purchase resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 7.9 or Section 8.1, such purchase will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (C) such purchase does not conflict with Applicable Law; and (D) in the case of any purchase resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the Replacement Lender shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver, or consent.

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

8.8 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Sections 8 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 8.1 and 8.4, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Obligations, cancellation of any Note(s) and termination of this Agreement.

Agent shall promptly advise Borrower of any such declaration, but failure to do so shall not impair the effect of such declaration.

13.3 Credit Bidding. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to Credit Bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (and the Loan Parties shall approve Agent as a qualified bidder and such Credit Bid as qualified bid) at any sale thereof conducted by Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, under any provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as part of any sale or investor solicitation process conducted by any Loan Party, any interim receiver, receiver, receiver and manager, administrative receiver, trustee, agent or other Person pursuant or under any insolvency laws; provided, however, that (i) the Required Lenders may not direct Agent in any manner that does not treat each of the Lenders equally, without preference or discrimination, in respect of consideration received as a result of the Credit Bid, (ii) the acquisition documents shall be commercially reasonable and contain customary protections for minority holders, such as, among other things, anti-dilution and tag-along rights, (iii) the exchanged debt or equity securities must be freely transferable, without restriction (subject to applicable securities laws) and (iv) reasonable efforts shall be made to structure the acquisition in a manner that causes the governance documents pertaining thereto to not impose any obligations or liabilities upon the Lenders individually (such as indemnification obligations).

For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “Credit Bid” shall mean, an offer submitted by Agent (on behalf of the Lender group), based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to acquire the property of any Loan Party or any portion thereof in exchange for and in full and final satisfaction of all or a portion (as determined by Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) of the claims and Obligations under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

Section 14.
THE AGENT.

14.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 14.9) appoints, designates and authorizes CIBC Bank USA to take such action on its behalf as Agent under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan

Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in other Loan Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 14, the provisions of this Section 14 are solely for the benefit of Agent, the Lenders and any letter of credit issuing banks hereunder, and Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

14.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys‑in‑fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney‑in‑fact that it selects in the absence of a finding by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment that Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.

14.3 Exculpation of Agent. None of Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), (b) not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any debtor relief law or (c) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

14.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, electronic mail message, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall

in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 12, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Restatement Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.

14.5 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 13; provided that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

14.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower which may come into the possession of Agent.

14.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to its applicable Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any Agent Advances and any costs or out‑of‑pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs and Taxes) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect

of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

14.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. CIBC Bank USA and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Loan Parties and Affiliates thereof as though CIBC Bank USA were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, CIBC Bank USA or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), CIBC Bank USA and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though CIBC Bank USA were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include CIBC Bank USA and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

14.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and (so long as no Event of Default is then continuing) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated (except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent). After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 14 and Sections 15.5 and 15.16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ appoint a successor agent as provided for above. If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (c) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on such date.

14.10 Collateral Matters. Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents for the benefit of Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Collateral Document (i) upon

termination of the Revolving Facility and payment in full of all Loans and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder (including the release of any guarantor); or (iii) subject to Section 15.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; or (b) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by Section 11.2(iv)(i) or (iv)(iii) (it being understood that Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower in determining whether the Debt secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 11.1(ii)). Upon request by Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.10. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to give blockage notices in connection with any Subordinated Debt at the direction of Required Lenders and agrees that it will not act unilaterally to deliver such notices.

14.11 Swiss Security Agreements. In respect of the Swiss Security Agreements under which security of (i) a non-accessory (nicht-akzessorische) nature is granted (each a “Swiss Non-Accessory Security Agreement”) each present and future Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to hold any security created or evidenced under or pursuant to such Swiss Non-Accessory Security Agreement as its indirect representative (indirekter Stellvertreter) in its own name but for the account of all relevant Lenders which have the benefit of such security in accordance with this Agreement and the respective Swiss Non-Accessory Security Agreement or (ii) an accessory (akzessorische) nature is granted (each a “Swiss Accessory Security Agreement”) each present and future Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to do all acts in the name and for the account of such Lender as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter), including, without limitation, (a) to accept and execute and hold, administer and, if necessary, enforce the security granted under any of the Swiss Accessory Security Agreements, (b) to agree to amendments, re-statements and other alterations of the Swiss Accessory Security Agreements, (c) to effect any release of the security under, and the termination of, any Swiss Accessory Security Agreements, and (d) to exercise such other rights powers, authorities and discretions granted to the Agent hereunder or under the relevant Swiss Accessory Security Agreement.

14.12 Restriction on Actions by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and shall, upon the written request of Agent (to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so), set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to a Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken, any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to foreclose any loan or otherwise enforce any security interest in any of the Collateral or to enforce all or any part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. All enforcement actions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any third party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral may only be taken by Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) or by its agents at the direction of Agent.

14.13 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Agent under Sections 5, 15.5 and 15.17) allowed in such judicial proceedings; and

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under Sections 5, 15.5 and 15.17.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

14.14 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger”, if any, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

14.15 Payments Sent in Error.

(i) If Agent notifies a Lender, secured party, or any other Person that has received funds on such Person’s behalf (each, a “Payment Recipient”) that Agent has determined at any time in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient, whether or not known to such Payment Recipient (any such funds or portion thereof, however received or characterized, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Agent, be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of Agent, and such Payment Recipient shall (or shall cause any Payment Recipient on its behalf to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon rom and including the date such Erroneous Payment was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (however received or characterized) from Agent (or any of its Affiliates) that (x) is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates) relating thereto, (y) was not preceded or accompanied by such a notice, or (z) such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in

100

part), in each case (i) an error shall be presumed to have been made absent written confirmation from Agent to the contrary and (ii) such Payment Recipient shall (or shall cause any Payment Recipient on its behalf to) promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day of its knowledge of such error, notify Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof in reasonable detail and that it is so notifying Agent pursuant to this Section 14.15(ii).

(iii) Each Payment Recipient hereby authorizes Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(iv) In the event that any Erroneous Payment is not recovered by Agent from or on behalf of a Lender for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Revolving Facility Portion) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Agent may specify) (such assignment, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to Borrower or Agent, (ii) Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Revolving Facility Portion which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in such Loans. Agent may, in its discretion, sell all or any portion of the Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by such net proceeds, and Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against any applicable Payment Recipient. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Revolving Facility Portion of any Lender and such Revolving Facility Portion shall remain available (on an uncommitted basis) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether Agent may be equitably subrogated, Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Payment Recipient under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(v) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, solely to the extent such Erroneous Payment is comprised of funds received by Agent from Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(vi) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and each Payment Recipient hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any

101

demand, claim or counterclaim by Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(vii) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 14.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender the termination of the Revolving Facility Portions and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any or all Obligations under any Loan Document.

14.16 Certain ERISA Matters. For the benefit of Agent, and not for Borrower or any other Loan Party, each Lender (x) represents and warrants as of the date it became a Lender and (y) covenants from the date it became a Lender to the date it ceases being a Lender:

(i) that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more benefit plans for such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration and performance of the Loans, Revolving Facility Portions or this Agreement; (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14, PTE 95-60, PTE 90-1, PTE 91-38 or PTE 96-23, is applicable to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration and performance of the Loans, Revolving Facility Portions and this Agreement, (iii) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14) which made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, Revolving Facility Portions and this Agreement, and the entrance into, participation in, administration and performance of the Loans, Revolving Facility Portions and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84- 14 and, to the best knowledge of such Lender, subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender; and

(ii) unless either (i) sub-clause 14.16(i)(i) is true with respect to such Lender or (ii) such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause 14.16(i)(iv), that Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration and performance of the Loans, Revolving Facility Portions and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Section 15.
GENERAL.

15.1 Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and acknowledged by Lenders having an aggregate Pro Rata Shares of not less than the aggregate Pro Rata Shares expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement, by the Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (a) extend or increase the Revolving Facility Portion of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (b) extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal (excluding mandatory prepayments) of or interest on the Loans or any fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (c) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the rate of interest thereon or any fees payable hereunder, without the consent of each

102

Lender directly affected thereby (except for periodic adjustments of interest rates and fees resulting from a change in the Applicable Margin as provided for in this Agreement); (d) release Borrower or any guarantor from its obligations hereunder or under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, other than as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder, or subordinate the obligations of Borrower or any guarantor hereunder or under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement to any other indebtedness for borrowed money, or release or subordinate to the lien in favor of any other indebtedness for borrowed money all or any substantial part of the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents (except as permitted by Section 14.10), change the definition of Required Lenders, any provision of Section 7.2 or Section 7.5, any provision of this Section 15.1, any provision of Section 13.3 or reduce the aggregate Pro Rata Share required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent, without, in each case set forth in this clause (d), the written consent of all Lenders; (e) amend the definition of “Borrowing Base” or any defined term used therein without the written consent of all Lenders (except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any schedule hereto); (f) amend the definition of “Revolving Loan Availability” or any defined term used therein without the written consent of all Lenders (except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any schedule hereto); or (g) amend, modify or waive Section 2.7 or any rights or obligations of Declining Lenders or Demanding Lenders without the consent of each Lender. No provision of Section 14 or other provision of this Agreement affecting Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of Agent. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Swing Line Lender. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights and duties of any Lender to which Bank Product Obligations are owed (including Hedging Obligations) shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of such Lender.

If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, Borrower may appoint a Replacement Lender pursuant to Section 8.7(ii).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent that by its terms requires the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Revolving Facility Portion of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, or the maturity of any of its Loan may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of its Loans may not be reduced and the principal amount of any of its Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) a Declining Lender shall not have any right to (1) consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver or (2) direct, or consent to or approve any direction to, Agent to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder, in each case which does not directly affect either (x) such Declining Lender or any Loan made by it or (y) any Collateral securing Obligations owed to such Declining Lender or guarantees thereof and, (B) the preceding clause (A) shall not limit any right of a Declining Lender to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver referred to in Section 15.1 solely to the extent relating to a Revolving Loan made by such Declining Lender.

In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, if Agent and Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then Agent and Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision,

103

and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to Agent within ten Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

15.2 Confirmations. Borrower and each holder of a Note agree from time to time, upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to Agent) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding under such Note.

15.3 Notices.

(i) Generally. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.2(b) and 2.2(c), or clauses (b) and (c) below, all notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission and email) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Annex B or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to have been given when sent during normal business hours (or the following Business Day if sent outside normal business hours); notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given five Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier service shall be deemed to have been given when received. For purposes of Sections 2.2(b) and 2.2(c), Agent shall be entitled to rely on telephonic instructions from any person that Agent in good faith believes is an authorized officer or employee of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and Borrower shall hold Agent and each other Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance.

(ii) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including email, and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Agent provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2 if such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has notified Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return email or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its email address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

(iii) Platform.

(A) Each Loan Party agrees that Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on the Platform.

(B) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors

104

or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall Agent or any of its Affiliates or the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives of Agent or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s, any Loan Party’s or Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

(iv) Public Information. Borrower hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the materials and information provided by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (1) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (2) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes of U.S. Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent that such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be subject to Section 15.9); (3) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (4) Agents shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information”. Each Public Lender will designate one or more representatives that shall be permitted to receive information that is not designated as being available for Public Lenders.

15.4 [Reserved]

15.5 Costs and Expenses. Each Loan Party, jointly and severally agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Agent (including Attorney Costs) in connection with the preparation, execution, syndication, delivery and administration (including perfection and protection of any Collateral and the costs of Intralinks (or other similar service), if applicable) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith (including any amendment, supplement or waiver to any Loan Document), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated, and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by Agent and each Lender after an Event of Default in connection with the collection of the Obligations or the enforcement of this Agreement the other Loan Documents or any such other documents or during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof.

All Obligations provided for in this Section 15.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes and termination of this Agreement.

105

15.6 Assignments; Participations.

(a) Assignments.

(i) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Loans and Revolving Facility Portion, with the prior written consent of Agent (for an assignment of the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Facility Portion) and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or an Affiliate of a Lender (other than an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender)) or an Approved Fund (other than an Approved Fund of a Defaulting Lender). Except as Agent may otherwise agree, any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000 or, if less, the remaining Revolving Facility Portion and Loans held by the assigning Lender (provided that an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum assignment limitations). Borrower and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no assignment may be made to (i) Borrower, (ii) any other Loan Party, (iii) or any other Person that owns, directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more of any class of equity in Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any other Loan Party, (iv) any holder of Subordinated Debt or any Debt that is secured by Liens that have been contractually subordinated to the Liens securing the Obligations or (v) any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld in Agent’s sole discretion and, in any event, if granted, may be conditioned on such terms and conditions as Agent shall require in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, a limitation on the aggregate amount of Loans and Revolving Facility Portion which may be held by such Person and/or its Affiliates and/or limitations on such Person’s and/or its Affiliates’ voting and consent rights and/or rights to attend Lender meetings or obtain information provided to other Lenders. Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 15.6(a) shall be treated as the sale of a participation under Section 15.6(b). Borrower shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless Borrower has expressly objected to such assignment within three Business Days after notice thereof. In no event shall any assignment be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person).

(ii) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) a Note in the principal amount of the Assignee’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Facility (and, as applicable, a Note in the principal amount of the Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Facility retained by the assigning Lender). Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Upon receipt by Agent of such Note(s), the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower any prior Note held by it.

(iii) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge

106

or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(b) Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, Revolving Facility Portion or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations hereunder, (c) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender and (d) each Lender granting a participation hereunder shall maintain, as a non-fiduciary agent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, a register (the “Participation Register”) as to the participations granted and transferred under this Section 15.6.2 containing the same information specified in Section 15.7 on the Register as if the each participant were a Lender, and no participation may be transferred except as recorded in such Participation Register; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of its Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Facility Portion, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Facility Portion, Loans or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 15.1 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ enters into with any Participant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no participation may be sold to any equity holder of a Loan Party, any Affiliate of any equity holder of a Loan Party, any Loan Party, any holder of Subordinated Debt, any holder of any Debt that is secured by Liens that have been contractually subordinated to the Liens securing the Obligations or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld in Agent’s sole discretion and, in any event, if granted, may be conditioned on such terms and conditions as Agent shall require in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, a limitation on the aggregate amount of Loans and Revolving Facility Portions which may be participated such Person and/or its Affiliates and/or limitations on such Person’s and/or its Affiliates’ voting and consent rights and/or rights to attend Lender meetings or obtain information provided to other Lenders. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement; provided that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 7.5. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.9 or 8 as if it were a Lender (provided that on the date of the participation no Participant shall be entitled to any greater compensation pursuant to Section 7.9 or 8 than would have been paid to the participating Lender on such date if no participation had been sold and that each Participant complies with Section 7.9(iv) as if it were a Lender).

15.7 Register. Agent shall maintain as a non-fiduciary agent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered and accepted by it and register (the “Register”) for the recordation of names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Facility Portion of each Lender and principal and stated interest of each Loan owing to each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is the original Lender or the Assignee. No assignment shall be effective unless and until the Assignment Agreement is accepted and registered in the Register. All records of transfer of a ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s interest in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the ownership of the interests in the Loans. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon

107

reasonable prior notice. Agent shall not incur any liability of any kind with respect to any Lender with respect to the maintenance of the Register. This Section and Section 15.6.2 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” for the purposes of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

15.8 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

15.24 Benchmark Replacement Setting; Benchmark Conforming Changes.

No such replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. In connection with Term SOFR or the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and the effectiveness of any Benchmark Conforming Changes. Agent will promptly notify Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to this Section. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (other than any Hedging Agreement), at any time, (a) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (i) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Agent in its reasonable discretion or (ii) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor, and (b) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (a) above either (i) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark or (ii) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark, then Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

The following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination with respect to the then-current Benchmark, (a) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (b) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” or similar term pursuant to Section 15.24.

“Benchmark” means, initially, Term SOFR and Daily Simple SOFR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Term SOFR and/or Daily Simple SOFR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable

“Benchmark Conforming Changes” means, with respect to Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR or any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including (a) changes to the definition of “Business Day” or other definitions, (b) the addition of concepts such as “interest period”, (c) changes to timing and/or frequency of determining rates, making interest payments, giving borrowing requests, prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, or length of lookback periods, (d) the applicability of Section 8.4 (Compensation for losses) and (e) other technical, administrative or operational matters) that Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR or such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or determines that no such market practice exists, in such other manner as Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by Agent giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, if such Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than the Floor, such Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Available Tenor, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by Agent giving due consideration to any selection or recommendation by the Relevant Governmental Body, or any evolving or then-prevailing market convention at such time, for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for such type of replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities.

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earlier to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark: (a) in the case of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or (b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

115

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark: (a) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); (b) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official or resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority, which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or (c) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative. For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Start Date” means, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 15.24 and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 15.24.

15.25 Alternative Pricing Techniques. In any case under this Agreement where a calculation is to be made using the COMEX Price for a Precious Metal (in the form of gold or silver) or the NYMEX Price for a Precious Metal (in the form of platinum or palladium), if the Borrower determines for any reason that such COMEX Price or NYMEX Price cannot be determined on the date required, then the Borrower shall immediately so notify the Agent and in lieu thereof the applicable price shall be the settlement price per ▇▇▇▇ ounce at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such date for a contract traded on an exchange, operated by CME Group Inc. and acceptable to the Agent, to sell the relevant quantity of such Precious Metal for delivery in the nearest subsequent month for which such a contract is offered for sale; provided, however, if the Borrower shall determine for any reason that the value of such Precious Metal cannot be determined on the date required, then the Borrower shall immediately so notify

116

the Agent, and in lieu thereof the Borrower, with the written concurrence of the Agent, shall use its good faith judgment in determining the value of such Precious Metal for the purposes hereof.

(b) The amendment and restatement contained herein shall not, in any manner, be construed to constitute payment of, or impair, limit, cancel or extinguish, or constitute a novation in respect of, the Obligations of Borrower and each other Loan Party evidenced by or arising under any of the Existing Loan Documents, including, without limitation each of the Swiss Security Agreement, the German Security Agreement, the Canadian Security Agreement, the Hong Kong Security Agreement, the Singapore Security Agreement, the English Law Security Agreement and each of the other Collateral Documents, and the Liens and security interests of Agent for the benefit of the Lenders securing such Obligations and other obligations and liabilities, which shall not in any manner be impaired, limited, terminated, waived or released, but shall continue in full force and effect in favor of Agent.

(c) All loans, advances and other financial accommodations under any of the Existing Loan Documents and all other Obligations of Borrower and each other Loan Party to Agent and the Lenders outstanding and unpaid as of the date hereof pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed Obligations of Borrower and each other Loan Party pursuant to the terms hereto.

Exhibit K-1 to Second Amended and Restated Uncommitted Credit Agreement

herein (including, without limitation, under Section 5 below). Each Creditor and the Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Collateral constituting possessory or control Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee and agent for the benefit of each other Creditor who holds (or as a result of such bailee or agent having possession or control of such Collateral on their behalf, would hold) a Security Interest in such possessory or control Collateral, solely for the purpose of perfecting the Security Interest granted in such Collateral; provided that, other than perfection of an existing Security Interest by possession or control, nothing in this Section 2 shall be deemed to expand the scope of any Creditor’s Security Interest beyond that granted to such Creditor under its respective Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any provision of any Credit Document or any action taken by the Debtor or the Creditors to the contrary, all Loan/Trading Assets consisting of Precious Metal that have been consigned, leased or otherwise delivered by a Metals Lender to the Debtor, and the products and proceeds thereof, shall, for the purposes of this Agreement’s treatment of the interests of each Creditor in relation thereto, be treated by the Creditors as if it were included in the Collateral under each Credit Document to the same extent as if the Debtor had been the purchaser of such Precious Metal outright for cash at the date of consignment, even if title thereto has not passed to the Debtor, and the Creditors hereby agree to deal with such Precious Metal as between them under the terms of this Agreement and each Credit Document on the same basis and in the same manner as all Precious Metal included in the Collateral and, for such purposes, the term “Collateral” shall be deemed to include all Loan/Trading Assets consisting of Precious Metal consigned, leased or otherwise delivered by a Metals Lender to the Debtor, and provided further that nothing in the foregoing shall provide, or be deemed to provide, the Debtor any new or additional interest in such Precious Metal to the extent not provided for under such Credit Documents.

This Section 2 shall be applicable before and after the commencement of a case by or against the Debtor under the Bankruptcy Code and references herein to Debtor shall be deemed to apply to a trustee, liquidator or similar entity of Debtor in such case.

The priority of each Security Interest provided for under Section 2 above is and shall be applicable irrespective of and without regard to (a) the time or order of attachment or perfection of the respective Security Interests, (b) the method of perfection or the time or order of filing of financing statements in connection therewith or the taking of possession thereof, (c) the giving or failure to give notice by one ICA Party to each other ICA Party of the acquisition or expected acquisition of purchase money or other Security Interests, or (d) any other fact or factor or circumstance affecting a determination of the priority of the Security Interests of the Creditors. The Collateral Agent, each Creditor, and the Syndicated Group (as applicable), shall refrain from taking any action, directly or indirectly, to enforce its rights against or collect out of the Collateral that is subject to the Security Interest of any other Creditor, except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and hereby agrees not to challenge or contest the validity or perfection of any Security Interest held by any other Creditor or the Syndicated Group (as applicable), or do or perform any act or institute (or join or otherwise support) any proceeding which would be contrary to the terms of this Agreement and their respective rights and interests in the Collateral. Each Creditor’s, and the Syndicated Group’s (as applicable), respective Security Interest shall for the purposes hereof be presumed to be valid, perfected and enforceable unless such Security Interest is challenged by a third person and such Security Interest is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unperfected or unenforceable. For the purposes hereof, such issues shall be deemed to have been finally determined in the event there is a judicial determination to such effect by a court of competent jurisdiction and all applicable appeals periods have expired or if the holder of the Security Interest being challenged consents to, admits, or acquiesces in such challenge, or fails in a timely manner to defend against, any such challenge. Each Creditor hereby agrees to cooperate in the defense of any action contesting the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of such liens or security interests consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement.

Except as specifically provided herein, the priority of Security Interests in the Collateral shall be determined in accordance with applicable law.

Exhibit K-1 to Second Amended and Restated Uncommitted Credit Agreement

Net Realizations of Collateral of the Debtor or any portion thereof or under Security Instruments executed by the Debtor received by or the possession of which is obtained by the Collateral Agent, the Syndicated Group or any Metals Lender after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be delivered to and held by the Collateral Agent in trust for the benefit of all Creditors who hold a Security Interest in such Collateral or any portion thereof, irrespective of the relative priority of the Security Interests of each Creditor in such Collateral or any portion thereof under applicable law. Each of the Syndicated Group and Metals Lenders shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of Net Realizations attributable to the Collateral in which such Creditor has a Security Interest in an amount equal to the ratio of (i) the principal amount of Outstanding Obligations owed to the Syndicated Group or such Metals Lender, as applicable and without duplication, by the Debtor to (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Obligations owed by the Debtor to all Creditors (said ratio, as determined from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the “Ratio”). If the principal amount of Outstanding Obligations owed by the Debtor to all Creditors shall at any time be paid in full, the Ratio after such payment in full, and until all interest, fees and other amounts owing in respect of Outstanding Obligations owed by the Debtor have been paid in full, shall be the Ratio in effect on the first date of distributions of Net Realizations under this Section 5(a).

If the contingent liability of the Syndicated Group or any Metals Lender in respect of a letter of credit, letter of indemnity, steamship guaranty or a banker’s acceptance that is outstanding as of the date of any distribution of Net Realizations shall thereafter be terminated in whole or in part without full payment by, or further exposure to, the applicable Creditor, then the Outstanding Obligations shall be appropriately adjusted by eliminating the amount of such terminated contingent liability from the Outstanding Obligations to such Creditor and from the aggregate Outstanding Obligations to all Creditors, and the Ratio and any prior distribution of Net Realizations or purchase of participations under Section 15 shall also be appropriately adjusted and accounted for between the Creditors.

The Creditors agree that Net Realizations shall be delivered to, collected and held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of all Creditors entitled thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that such Net Realizations shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent to each Creditor entitled to a portion thereof as set forth in Section 8 hereof.

The Collateral Agent and each Creditor shall hold all documents of title, letters of credit and other Collateral, liens upon which are perfected by possession, for itself and as agent for the other Creditors who have a Security Interest therein for the sole limited purpose of perfecting the Security Interest of the other Creditors who have a Security Interest therein, but shall have no duty, liability or responsibility to the other Creditors in so acting as agent except to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 6.

To the extent that any Metals Lender or any of its Affiliates is or becomes a member of the Syndicated Group pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, such Metals Lender shall be deemed for purposes hereof to have a Security Interest under any Security Instruments executed by the Debtor in favor of the Agent, the Agent shall act on behalf of such Metals Lender as collateral agent under such Security Instruments in respect thereof, and such Metals Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as its agent for purposes of perfecting, acquiring, holding, and enforcing any Security Interest in the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement. Such Metals Lender, upon it or any of its Affiliates becoming a member of the Syndicated Group, hereby acknowledges and agrees (i) to all of the provisions of Section 14 of the Credit Agreement in respect of the Agent’s capacity as such collateral agent therefor, and (ii) to be bound to such provisions in the same capacity as if it were a Syndicated Lender thereunder as of the date such Metals Lender or any of its Affiliates becomes Syndicated Lender.

Except as provided for in Section 15 hereof, this Agreement shall terminate as to the Syndicated Group on the one hand or any Metals Lender on the other hand (hereinafter referred to as the “Terminating Creditor”) ten (10) days from the date on which such Terminating Creditor (the Agent, on behalf of the Syndicated

Exhibit K-1 to Second Amended and Restated Uncommitted Credit Agreement

Group, or such Metals Lender, on its own behalf, as applicable) gives written notice to the non-Terminating Creditor(s) of its intention to terminate; provided, however, that such termination shall be effective only as to Obligations to the non-Terminating Creditor(s) arising after the effective date of such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, termination of this Agreement by and with respect to any Terminating Creditor in accordance with the terms hereof will not impair the priority provided for herein of all Security Interests which secure Obligations arising before or, in accordance with the final sentence of this Section 7, after termination, nor will such termination be effective as to (a) Obligations incurred pursuant to legal commitments existing on the effective date of such termination or (b) Obligations in existence on the effective date of such termination, and all extensions, renewals or refinancings of such Obligations (including any financings of reimbursement obligations due under letters of credit or in connection with bankers acceptances issued prior to the effective date of such termination). Except for Security Interests of the Terminating Creditor which secure Obligations in existence as of the effective date of termination by the Terminating Creditor and the Obligations referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above, the Security Interests of the Terminating Creditor securing Obligations arising after the effective date of such termination shall be subordinate to the Security Interests of the non–Terminating Creditor(s).

Whenever the Collateral Agent receives any Net Realizations, the Collateral Agent shall apply (to the extent permitted by law) the same first to the payment of its reasonable costs of collecting, seizing, storing, selling, leasing, or otherwise disposing of the Collateral attributable to such Net Realizations, together with its reasonable costs of enforcing its rights under any Security Instrument and/or Credit Document relating thereto, and shall then remit to each Creditor entitled thereto under Section 5(a) its pro rata portion, in accordance with the Ratio, of the balance of such Net Realizations. Any Net Realizations received by the Syndicated Group or any Metals Lender from the Collateral Agent shall be applied promptly to the payment of the Obligations owed to such applicable Creditor by the Debtor in accordance with the express provisions of the instruments and agreements from time to time evidencing or securing the Obligations owed to such Creditor, provided, however, that for purposes of determining the Ratio, such Net Realizations shall be deemed to be applied, first, to the principal of Outstanding Obligations, second, to interest thereon, and, third, to any other Obligations. In the event that any Creditor, or the Syndicated Group (as applicable), shall receive or hold any Net Realizations in excess of what it is entitled to receive hereunder, such Net Realizations shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be immediately paid over or delivered and transferred or otherwise turned over to the Collateral Agent to be remitted by the Collateral Agent to the other Creditors entitled thereto in accordance with this Section 8 (and Section 15 shall apply with respect to any excess Net Realizations which are not turned over to the other Creditors entitled thereto). Each ICA Party shall (a) permit reasonable inspection and copying by each other ICA Party of all books and records maintained by such ICA Party pertaining to the Collateral in which it holds a Security Interest or any portion thereof and the Obligations to such ICA Party and the Syndicated Group (as applicable) and (b) provide a statement of account with respect to the Obligations of the Debtor to each other ICA Party and the Syndicated Group (as applicable) if such a statement is requested in writing by such other ICA Party.

If an “event of default” (howsoever defined under such ICA Parties’ Credit Document) with respect to the Debtor occurs and is continuing under a Credit Document or under or with respect to a Security Instrument, or the Syndicated Group or any Metals Lender proposes to take or commence any proceedings or actions (whether or not through judicial process or the filing of suit) to take possession of (other than receipt of Precious Metal, documents of title and letters of credit or payments delivered to a Creditor in the ordinary course and prior to the occurrence of an “event of default” under such ICA Parties’ Credit Document or the delivery or receipt by such Creditor of a Notice of Extraordinary Action), seize, perfect (other than by filing of financing statements) its Security Interest in, dispose of, collect upon, set-off, sell, compromise or take other extraordinary action under its Security Instruments, with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral in which any other Creditor has a Security Interest or otherwise exercise or commence any enforcement or collection action or proceeding (including, without limitation, institution of litigation) under any Credit Document or Security Instrument (hereinafter referred to as “Extraordinary Actions”), the applicable ICA

Exhibit K-1 to Second Amended and Restated Uncommitted Credit Agreement

Party shall reasonably promptly after it has knowledge of such default and/or before the taking of such Extraordinary Action give the Collateral Agent and each other ICA Party written notice of the occurrence of such default and/or of the proposed taking of such Extraordinary Action (a “Notice of Extraordinary Action”). The foregoing shall not apply to any Creditor’s exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or similar right, but any Creditor which exercises such right, shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the other Creditors thereafter and any amounts realized therefrom shall be subject to the provisions of Section 15 hereof regardless of whether such exercise occurs before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default.

An Event of Default hereunder shall be deemed to have occurred upon the receipt of a Notice of Extraordinary Action as provided for in Section 9(a) by Collateral Agent and each ICA Party, or upon such other date on which the Required ICA Parties agree in writing (herein referred to as an “Event of Default”).

Upon receipt of a Notice of Extraordinary Action, the Collateral Agent shall give notice to each other Creditor and to the Debtor of its receipt of a Notice of Extraordinary Action and shall poll each other Creditor as to whether each such Creditor wishes to foreclose upon the Collateral. If another Creditor wishes to foreclose, such Creditor shall send to the Collateral Agent a Notice of Extraordinary Action. Upon receipt of a Notice of Extraordinary Action from Creditors constituting the Required ICA Parties, the Collateral Agent shall take action to foreclose upon the Collateral as shall be directed by the Required ICA Parties, provided, however, that unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the ICA Parties in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if the Collateral Agent determines in its sole discretion that an emergency situation exists, then the Collateral Agent is authorized to act in the manner as it reasonably determines in its sole discretion to collect, enforce against, realize upon or otherwise preserve the value of the Collateral for the benefit of the Creditors.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Creditor agrees that, in the event that the Collateral Agent receives a Notice of Extraordinary Action from any Creditor, then:

i. for a period of 120 days from the date the Collateral Agent received a Notice of Extraordinary Action, each other Creditor shall not take any Extraordinary Action or any other action to realize upon or interfere with the Collateral or any portion thereof or commence, join in or maintain any action, case or other legal proceeding against the Debtor in respect of any of the Outstanding Obligations; and if, after such 120 day period, the Outstanding Obligations owing to any such Creditor shall not have been paid in full, then such Creditor may commence, join in and maintain actions, cases and other legal proceedings against the Debtor to obtain payment of the Outstanding Obligations owing to such Creditor, and such Creditor may instruct the Collateral Agent to realize upon such Collateral or any portion thereof as may be necessary to repay fully such Outstanding Obligations owing to such Creditor, and the Collateral Agent shall thereupon seek to take such actions.

ii. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, the occurrence of an Insolvency Event shall terminate the 120-day standstill period provided in Section 9(d)i.

Exhibit K-1 to Second Amended and Restated Uncommitted Credit Agreement

the Required ICA Parties may direct the Collateral Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such sale or other disposition, the Creditors hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, unless caused by the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided that the Collateral Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Collateral Agent reasonably believes the Collateral Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.

If all or any portion of the Net Realizations received by any Creditor is held to constitute a preference under any applicable bankruptcy or similar laws, or if for any other reason any Creditor is required to refund or disgorge part or all of any Net Realizations or otherwise pay part or all of any Net Realizations to any person or entity not a party hereto (the amount of such refund, disgorgement or payment being referred to hereinafter as “Refunded Net Realizations”), then for all purposes hereunder Net Realizations shall be deemed to exclude such Refunded Net Realizations and the allocation of Net Realizations provided for hereunder shall be rescinded and the amount thereof restored to such Creditor by the other Creditors to the extent necessary to compensate such Creditor for such refund, disgorgement or payment made by it, but without interest thereon (other than interest included in the Refunded Net Realizations) and to the date upon which demand is made for any payment required to be made in order to effectuate the provisions of this Section 10. Interest shall accrue on any amount for which a demand is made hereunder and payment is not made within 2 Business Days after demand from the date that is 2 Business Days after such demand until (but not including) the date such payment is made at the overnight federal funds rate for the first 3 Business Days and thereafter at such rate plus 2%.

Any notice hereunder may be given in writing and mailed by certified or registered mail, delivered by hand or overnight courier service, or sent by email. Notices mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by hand or overnight courier service shall be deemed to have been given when delivered.

To the extent that any Creditor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Creditor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Creditors and their successors, designees or assigns, and no other person or persons (including the Debtor) shall have any right, benefit, priority or interest under, or as a result of the existence of, this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Debtor and the Creditors; shall constitute a continuing agreement, applying to all future as well as existing transactions, whether or not of the character contemplated at the date of this Agreement, and if all transactions between the Creditors and the Debtor shall be at any time terminated, shall be equally applicable to any new transaction thereafter until this Agreement is terminated.

This Agreement may be executed and delivered in counterparts and each of the executed several counterparts of this Agreement shall be deemed an original and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures may appear on separate counterparts. Telecopied signatures on this Agreement or any amendment shall be binding on the parties to the same extent as original signatures.

If the Syndicated Group or any Metals Lender shall obtain a payment on account of any Obligations of the Debtor to the Syndicated Group or such Metals Lender, as applicable, after the occurrence of an Event of Default (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 9(a) and whether before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default in the case of clauses (a) and (c) below) (a) through a banker’s lien, right of set-off or counterclaim, (b) from any security for such Obligations other than the Collateral or any security from any guarantor or surety referred to in the following clause (c), (c) from any guarantor or surety of such Obligations, (d) pursuant to any subordination agreement or other credit support document, (e) through a payment, including, without limitation, a regularly scheduled or other voluntary payment of such an Obligation, or (f) as a result of any other payments in respect of such Obligations, such Creditor (the “Purchasing Creditor”) shall, after payment of reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Purchasing Creditor in obtaining such payment, promptly turnover such excess payment or Net Realizations in accordance with Section 8 or, alternatively, purchase from the other Creditors (the Syndicated Group and other Metals Lenders, as applicable) an undivided participating interest in the Outstanding Obligations (including undrawn letters of credit and unmatured bankers acceptances) owing to such other Creditors, in such amount as will ensure that all Creditors share such payment (after deducting such expenses) in accordance with the Ratio, provided that if all or any portion of such payment received and so distributed by the Purchasing Creditor is thereafter rescinded or otherwise restored or recovered, the other Creditors which shall so share such payment shall by repurchase of the participating interest theretofore sold or other equitable adjustments, return its share of that payment to the Purchasing Creditor together with its ratable share of any interest payable by the Purchasing Creditor on the amount recovered. The Outstanding Obligations in which such participating interest shall be purchased shall be, to the extent possible, Outstanding Obligations which have the same terms and conditions as the Obligations paid pursuant to clauses (a) through (f) above, including, without limitation, obligor, interest rate, maturity, collateral and guaranties and such participating interest shall afford to the Purchasing Creditor the right to receive a pro

Exhibit K-1 to Second Amended and Restated Uncommitted Credit Agreement

rata share of all payments and collections received by the selling Creditor in respect of the Outstanding Obligations in which such participating interest was purchased.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Creditor acknowledges that Obligations to a Creditor excluded from Outstanding Obligations pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of such term herein (the “Excluded Obligations”) shall be disregarded in computing the Ratio and such Creditor’s pro rata share of any Net Realizations and recoveries under Section 15. After all principal, interest, fees and other amounts due in respect of Outstanding Obligations have been paid in full, Net Realizations shall be applied to, and participations in accordance with Section 15 shall be purchased in, Excluded Obligations and other Obligations ratably in accordance with the principal amount of all such Excluded Obligations and other Obligations due to Creditors and outstanding from time to time.

No ICA Party shall sell, assign, or transfer its Security Interest in any Collateral unless it shall first have (a) given notice thereof to each other ICA Party, (b) delivered a copy of this Agreement to the prospective transferee, and (c) delivered to each other ICA Party an agreement, in form, scope and substance satisfactory to each such other ICA Party, to the effect that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided therein, each Creditor may, without notice to or consent of the other Creditors, amend, modify, waive any term of, exercise any rights under, and otherwise deal with any Credit Documents, including without limitation, any other note, loan agreement, lease or consignment agreement, guaranty agreement, security agreement or other agreement which it may have entered into with the Debtor or any other party in connection with any Obligations of the Debtor to such Creditor; provided, however, that except as permitted under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect on the date hereof, no Metals Lender shall be permitted to amend its Credit Documents to expand the scope of its security interest beyond Loan/Trading Assets and each Metals Lender agrees that it shall not be permitted to create, receive or obtain a lien or security interest in any Collateral or other assets of the Debtor other than Loan/Trading Assets without the prior written consent of the Agent. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as obligating any Creditor to make, renew, continue or extend any financial accommodations to the Debtor or its affiliates or subsidiaries or as modifying the provisions of any note or other instrument evidencing or creating any indebtedness or other liability or obligation of the Debtor or its affiliates or subsidiaries or any lien or security interest granted by the Debtor or its affiliates or subsidiaries.

THE CREDITORS IRREVOCABLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Each Creditor acknowledges that (i) the Collateral may be commingled by the Debtor and (ii) the terms of this Agreement shall apply and be binding as among the Creditors whether or not any Collateral is commingled and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law in respect of commingled assets.

Purchase Money Notice. The parties hereby acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes written notice to it for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code that the Metal Lenders are leasing Precious Metal to the Debtor from time to time and have obtained a purchase money security interest therein.

other documents or agreements executed or delivered in connection herewith and any related documents delegated to the Collateral Agent together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Collateral Agent accepts such appointment and shall in good faith exercise reasonable care and skill in the performance of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement or in any Security Instrument. No duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or in any Security Instrument shall be implied to have been assumed by the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no other obligation to the Creditors. The relationship between the Collateral Agent and the Creditors is and shall be that of agent only, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other documents or agreements executed or delivered in connection herewith and any related documents shall be construed to constitute the Collateral Agent as a trustee for any Creditor nor shall the Collateral Agent have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Creditor by reason of this Agreement or any of the other documents or agreements executed or delivered in connection herewith.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Collateral Agent is required to exercise, and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Debtor that is communicated to or obtained by the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Collateral Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and under any other documents or agreements executed or delivered in connection herewith and any related documents. The Collateral Agent may utilize the services of such employees and agents as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion may reasonably determine.

Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other entity assisting them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall be liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other documents or agreements executed or delivered in connection herewith and any related documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Collateral Agent or such other person may be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Exhibit K-1 to Second Amended and Restated Uncommitted Credit Agreement

refraining. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under or any of the other documents or agreements executed or delivered in connection herewith (i) if such action would, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, be contrary to law or the terms of this Agreement or any of the other documents or agreements executed or delivered in connection herewith; (ii) if it shall not receive such advice or concurrence of the Required ICA Parties as it deems appropriate; or (iii) if it shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Creditors against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Creditor shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the other documents or agreements executed or delivered in connection herewith in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders.

The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of the Security Instruments, any of the other documents or agreements executed or delivered in connection herewith and any related documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Credit Documents, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Credit Documents or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other documents or agreements executed or delivered in connection herewith and any related documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Debtor, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Credit Documents.

The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Debtor shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete.

The Collateral Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Creditors, with respect to the credit worthiness or financial condition of the Debtor.

Each Creditor acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or another Creditor, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into its respective Credit Documents. Each Creditor also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or another Creditor and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon its respective Credit Documents or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, resolution, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile transmission, or telecopier message, paper or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Collateral Agent, which counsel may be an employee of the Collateral Agent.

The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Creditors and the Debtor. Upon any such resignation, another Creditor shall be appointed Collateral Agent consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other documents or agreements

Exhibit K-1 to Second Amended and Restated Uncommitted Credit Agreement

executed or delivered in connection herewith and any related documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent.

Collateral Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification.

The Creditors agree to reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Ratio of Outstanding Obligations for and against (i) any amounts not reimbursed by the Debtor for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Debtor under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith; (ii) any other reasonable, documented, expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Creditors, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith; and (iii) any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in performing its duties under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof, provided that no Creditor shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent.

If in the opinion of the Collateral Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder or under any of the other documents or agreements executed or delivered in connection herewith and any related documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Collateral Agent is to be repaid, each entity to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall promptly either repay to the Collateral Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such entities as shall be determined by such court.

The Debtor shall not incur any lien or security interest encumbering any of its Precious Metals unless such lien or security interest shall be subject to the terms of (1) this Agreement and the holder thereof shall have become a Creditor party hereto or (2) any other intercreditor agreement contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

No provision hereof shall be modified, amended or waived except by a written agreement expressly referring hereto signed by each of the ICA Parties with a copy to (but without the consent or approval of) the Debtor (provided, that any failure to provide a copy to the Debtor shall not impact the effectiveness or enforceability thereof). Any such modification, amendment or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance given.

Each Metals Lender, upon it or any of its Affiliates becoming a member of the Syndicated Group, hereby authorizes the Agent:

to (i) accept and execute in its name and for its account as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) the Swiss law pledge created or evidenced or expressed to be created or evidenced under or pursuant to the Swiss Security Agreement for the benefit of such Metals Lender and (ii) hold, administer and, if necessary, enforce any such security on behalf of such Metals Lender which has the benefit of such security;

to agree as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) to amendments and alterations to the Swiss Security Agreement in accordance with the Credit Agreement;

Exhibit K-1 to Second Amended and Restated Uncommitted Credit Agreement

to effect as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any release of a security created or evidenced or expressed to be created or evidenced under the Swiss Security Agreement in accordance with the Credit Agreement; and

to exercise as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) such other rights granted to the Agent hereunder or under the Swiss Security Agreement.

Prior to any Additional Metals Lender becoming party to a Metals Lease Agreement with Debtor, the Debtor agrees that it shall procure and cause such Additional Metals Lender to, and such Additional Metals Lender shall, execute a joinder to this Agreement (in substantially the form and substance of the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, a “Joinder”) and deliver the same to each other ICA Party and Debtor, pursuant to which such Additional Metals Lender agrees to be bound by, and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (and no third party, including, without limitation, any additional metal lessor or consignor, shall be entitled to any of the benefits of this Agreement unless it becomes an ICA Party hereto). Upon satisfactory execution and delivery of a Joinder hereto, all references in this Agreement to (A) “Metals Lender” shall be deemed to include such Additional Metals Lender, (B) “Metals Lease Agreement” shall be deemed to include the Metals Lease Agreement between such Additional Metals Lender and Debtor, and (C) “Creditors” shall be deemed to include such Additional Metals Lender; and this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

This Agreement amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety (i) that certain Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2023, by and between CIBC US and RBC and (ii) that certain Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2021, by and between CIBC US and CIBC CA.

Re: Stack’s Auction Advance and Assignment No. ____________

Gentlemen:

The undersigned SBG FINANCE, LLC, a California limited liability company (“SBG”), has [entered into a Promissory Note and Security Agreement dated ___________] with ______________ (the “Stack’s Auction Advance Consignor”), as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (the “Stack’s Auction Advance Consignment Agreement”).

SBG hereby acknowledges that in order to enable it to make the Stack’s Auction Advance, ▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, Inc. (the “Borrower”) has from time to time made funds available to SBG, which funds are proceeds of Loans made to the Borrower, pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Uncommitted Credit Agreement dated as of September 29, 2026 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), the loan parties from time to time parties thereto (the “Loan Parties”) and CIBC Bank USA, as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”). All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning given each such term in the Credit Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein.

As a condition to the inclusion of the Stack’s Auction Advances in excess of $1,000,000 in the Borrowing Base, SBG has agreed (and if not, it hereby agrees) to (a) enter into this Stack’s Auction Advance Assignment, (b) the reassignment by the Borrower of all of SBG’s rights in and to the Stack’s Auction Advance, the Stack’s Auction Advance Documents, [the Stack’s Auction Advance Note] and the Stack’s Auction Advance Collateral, pursuant to the terms of an assignment executed by the Borrower in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders (the “Borrower Assignment”), and (c) the exercise by the Agent of SBG’s rights under the Stack’s Auction Advance Documents in the event of default by the Stack’s Auction Advance Consignor.

The Borrower and SBG each hereby agree as follows:

SBG hereby represents, covenants and agrees that:

SBG has delivered to the Borrower [(i) a copy of the applicable Stack’s Auction Advance Allonge, (ii) the originally executed Borrower Assignment (or, on the Restatement Effective Date, a copy thereof with the originally executed Borrower Assignment to follow promptly thereafter) and (iii) if requested by the Agent, copies of (w) the executed Stack’s Auction Advance Consignment Agreement, (x) the Stack’s Auction Advance Note duly endorsed by SBG, (y) each other Stack’s Auction Advance Document and (z) a UCC-1 Financing Statement filed with respect

Exhibit N to Second Amended and Restated Uncommitted Credit Agreement

SBG shall promptly notify the Agent in writing of any default in the payment of any installment of principal under [each Stack’s Auction Advance Note][the Stack’s Auction Advance Consignment Agreement] by the applicable Stack’s Auction Advance Consignor, beyond any applicable notice and cure period (a “Default Notice”);

SBG shall not (i) enter into any transaction with the Stack’s Auction Advance Consignor, (ii) terminate any of the Stack’s Auction Advance Documents, or (iii) amend any of the Stack’s Auction Advance Documents, if such transaction, termination or amendment might result in a set-off against or deduction from amounts payable under the Stack’s Auction Advance Documents, without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Lenders it being acknowledged, for the avoidance of doubt, that other than as set forth above, SBG may amend or modify the Stack’s Auction Advance Documents in the ordinary course without the prior written consent of the Agent;

SBG shall not release Stack’s Auction Advance Collateral prior to the payment in full of all obligations owed to it by the applicable Stack’s Auction Advance Consignor under the Stack’s Auction Advance Documents, without the prior written consent of the Agent, except (i) in the case of a partial pay down of the Stack’s Auction Advance, SBG may release a ratable portion of Stack’s Auction Advance Collateral pertaining to such repaid amount, (ii) SBG may exchange Stack’s Auction Advance Collateral for Stack’s Auction Advance Collateral of equivalent or greater value (as reasonably determined by SBG), and (iii) SBG may return to any Stack’s Auction Advance Consignor Stack’s Auction Advance Collateral to the extent its value (as reasonably determined by SBG) exceeds the amount of the obligations owing by such Stack’s Auction Advance Consignor to SBG at such time, provided that in each case, immediately after such release, the remaining Stack’s Auction Advance Collateral with respect to such Stack’s Auction Advance shall continue to satisfy the requirements of an Eligible Stack’s Auction Advance;

SBG shall promptly notify the Agent in writing in the event that the Appraisal Value of the Collateral is less than the then outstanding Stack’s Auction Advance for any period of two consecutive Business Days;

SBG hereby covenants that (a) at all times the Stack’s Auction Advance Collateral shall be physically stored only at a CFC Approved Depository, (b) the Agent shall be named as additional
