This CREDIT AGREEMENT (including all exhibits and schedules hereto, as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of September 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), is entered into by and among OVERSEAS ST HOLDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“XXXX”), OSG Endurance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OSG Endurance”), OSG DELAWARE BAY LIGHTERING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OSG DBL”), TAGALAK ISLAND LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tagalak Island”), MYKONOS TANKER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mykonos Tanker”), SANTORINI TANKER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Santorini Tanker”; and together with XXXX, OSG Endurance, OSG DBL, Tagalak Island and Mykonos Tanker, collectively, jointly and severally the “Borrowers”, and each individually a “Borrower”), and STONEBRIAR COMMERCIAL FINANCE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, the “Lender”). Capitalized terms used herein and defined in Article X hereof are used herein as therein defined.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Lender make available to them a senior secured term loan facility on the date hereof in the aggregate principal amount of $325,000,000, as more particularly set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Borrowers have agreed to secure their Obligations by granting the Lender a duly perfected lien on certain of their assets described herein and in the other Loan Documents;

WHEREAS, the Guarantors have agreed to guarantee all of the Borrowers’ Obligations to the Lender hereunder; and

WHEREAS, the Lender is willing to make available to the Borrowers such term loan facility on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants contained herein and in the other Loan Documents, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

THE TERM LOAN

1.1 Amount and Terms of the Term LoanTerm Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of the Borrowers contained herein, the Lender hereby agrees to lend to the Borrowers, on the Closing Date, an amount up to the lesser of (a) $325,000,000 and (b) 65% of the Appraised Value. Amounts borrowed under this subsection 1.1(a) are referred to as the “Term Loan.” The Lender shall disburse the proceeds of the Term Loan in accordance with the Term Loan Drawdown Notice. Subject to Sections 1.5 and 1.6, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Term Loan shall be paid in full no later than the Term Loan Maturity Date.

1.2 Evidence of the Term Loan; Term Loan Note.

(a) The Term Loan is evidenced by this Agreement and a Term Loan Note, dated the date hereof and payable to the order of the Lender, its successors and assigns, in an amount equal to the original principal amount of the Term Loan.

1.3 Interest.

(a) The Term Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate of interest equal to 7.75% per annum. In the event that any payment due under this Agreement, the Term Loan Note or any other Loan Document is not made within three (3) days of the date due thereof (whether at maturity, by acceleration, on demand or otherwise), the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender, in addition to the amount then due, a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such delinquent payment (in no event to exceed the maximum rate allowed by applicable law).

(b) Subject to subsections 1.3(c) and 1.3(d), the Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made until paid in full at the rate of interest set forth above. All computations of fees and interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and 30-day months. Interest and fees that accrue hereunder shall be computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

(c) At all times during which an Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the Term Loan, from and after the date of occurrence of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is either cured to the satisfaction of, or waived in writing by, the Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) twelve percent (12%) or (ii) the Maximum Lawful Rate (the “Default Rate”). All such interest shall be payable upon demand by the Lender.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrowers’ obligations to pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan from time to time hereunder at the rate specified above shall be subject to the limitation that such payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which the amount of interest contracting for hereunder would be contrary to the provisions of applicable law, and, in such event, the Borrowers shall pay interest on such sums then outstanding at, but not to exceed, the highest rate then allowed by applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Lender is equal to the total interest that would have been received by the Lender had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as provided herein.

1.4 Loan Account.

(a) The Lender shall record on its books and records the amount of the Term Loan made, the interest rate from time to time applicable thereto, all payments (including prepayments) of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. Such record shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Term Loan made by the Lender to the Borrowers and of the interest accrued and of payments made thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (and under the Term Loan Note) to pay all amounts owing with respect to the Term Loan or provide a basis for any claim against the Lender.

1.5 Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrowers may, at any time following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Lender) prior written notice by the Borrowers to the Lender, prepay, in whole, the Term Loan on any principal payment date; provided that on such date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender, in addition to the principal amount being prepaid, (i) all accrued but unpaid interest then due thereon, (ii) all amounts required pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof, and (iii) all other sums then due hereunder. With the prior written consent of the Lender (which consent may be granted or withheld in the Lender’s sole discretion), upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Lender) prior written notice by the Borrowers to the Lender, the Borrowers may partially prepay the Term Loan on a principal payment date in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of up to one Vessel or one ATB Unit sold or subject to another Disposition per calendar year, and the denominator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of all Vessels then securing the Borrowers’ Obligations immediately prior to such sale or other Disposition; provided that on such date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender, in addition to the principal amount being prepaid, (i) all accrued but unpaid interest then due thereon, (ii) all amounts required pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof, and (iii) all other sums then due hereunder. Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the Lender’s receipt of such partial prepayment (together with the other amounts required to be paid in connection therewith) in good collected funds, the Lender shall release the applicable Vessel or ATB Unit from the lien of the Vessel Mortgage(s) covering such Vessel or ATB Unit.

1.6 Mandatory Prepayments of Loans and Commitment Reductions.

(a) Scheduled Payments.

(i) Scheduled Term Loan Payments. The Term Loan shall be repaid in accordance with the Term Loan Note.

(b) Disposition of a Vessel; Total Loss with Respect to a Vessel.

(i) Disposition of a Vessel. Immediately upon the Disposition of any Vessel (other than a Vessel comprising part of an ATB Unit), the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender, upon the date of such Disposition of the Vessel(s), an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of the Vessel sold or subject to such other Disposition, and the denominator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of all Vessels then securing the Borrower’s Obligations immediately prior to such sale or other Disposition (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in which case the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender on such date, an amount equal to the greater of (x) the net sales proceeds received as a result of such sale or other Disposition, or (y) the product obtained by multiplying the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of the Vessel subject to such sale or other Disposition, and the denominator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of all Vessels then securing the Borrower’s Obligations immediately prior to such sale or other Disposition), plus all accrued but unpaid interest due thereon, the applicable Prepayment Fee, and all other sums then due hereunder. Immediately upon the Disposition of a Vessel comprising part of an ATB Unit, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender, upon the date such Vessel is subject to such Disposition, an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of the Vessels comprising the ATB Unit, and the denominator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of all Vessels then securing the Borrower’s Obligations immediately prior to such sale or other Disposition (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in which case the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender on such date, an amount equal to the greater of (x) the net sales proceeds received as a result of such sale or other Disposition, or (y) the product obtained by multiplying the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of the Vessels comprising the ATB Unit, and the denominator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of all Vessels then securing the Borrower’s Obligations immediately prior to such sale or other Disposition), plus all accrued but unpaid interest due thereon, the applicable Prepayment Fee, and all other sums then due hereunder.

(ii) Total Loss with Respect to a Vessel. Upon the occurrence of a Total Loss of any Vessel, the Borrowers shall promptly notify the Lender thereof, whether or not then covered by insurance. If, at any time prior to repayment in full of the Term Loan any Vessel (other than a Vessel comprising part of an ATB Unit) sustains a Total Loss, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender upon the earlier of (x) ten (10) days following receipt of insurance proceeds or (y) one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such loss (in no event to extend beyond the maturity date of the Term Loan), an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value(s) of the Vessel(s) lost, and the denominator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of all Vessels then securing the Borrower’s Obligations immediately prior to such Total Loss (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in which case the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender on such date, an amount equal to the greater of (x) all insurance proceeds payable as a result of such Total Loss up to but not to exceed the amount then outstanding under the Term Loan, or (y) the product obtained by multiplying the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value(s) of the Vessel(s) lost, and the denominator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of all Vessels then securing the Borrower’s Obligations immediately prior to such Total Loss), plus all accrued but unpaid interest due thereon, and all other sums then due hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall not be required in the event that a Vessel (other than a Vessel comprising an ATB Unit) suffers a Total Loss (the “Lost Non-ATB Vessel”) provided that (i) within ninety (90) days after the date of such Total Loss, the applicable Vessel Owner acquires a substitute vessel for the Lost Non-ATB Vessel that (1) has a fair market value (as verified by an Approved Appraiser), remaining useful life and utility at least equal to or greater than the Lost Non-ATB Vessel at the time of the substitution (provided that the Lost Non-ATB Vessel was maintained in the condition required by the Loan Documents), and is in good operating condition, working order and repair as the Lost Non-ATB Vessel, (2) if classed, is classed and in class without any recommendations or conditions affecting her class; (3) is duly documented (or is being documented concurrently with the release of the Non-ATB Vessel Insurance Proceeds Deposit) in the name of the applicable Vessel Owner under the laws and flag of the United States qualified to engage in the coastwise and foreign trade of the United States to the same extent as the Lost Non-ATB Vessel, (4) is (or concurrently with the release of the Non-ATB Vessel Insurance Proceeds Deposit, will be) subject to a Vessel Mortgage, Assignment of Earnings, and Assignment of Insurances in favor of the Lender, and in connection therewith, the Lender shall have received such opinions, abstracts, certificates and due diligence items as the Lender shall require, (5) is free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances (other than the Vessel Mortgage and Permitted Maritime Liens), and (6) is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Lender (each an “Approved Substitute Non-ATB Vessel”), and (ii) all reasonable and documented expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with such substitution (including, without limitation, all search fees, legal fees and recordation costs) shall be borne by the Borrowers and paid to the Lender upon demand. Any insurance proceeds received by any Borrower pending replacement of the Lost Non-ATB Vessel with an Approved Substitute Non-ATB Vessel shall promptly be delivered to the Lender (the “Non-ATB Vessel Insurance Proceeds Deposit”) to be deposited in a non-interest-bearing account to be held by the Lender or by such other Person as may be approved by the Lender. The Non-ATB Vessel Insurance Proceeds Deposit shall constitute a part of the Collateral, and the Borrowers’ hereby grant to the Lender a security interest therein. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon satisfaction of each of the foregoing conditions, the Lender shall release the Non-ATB Vessel Insurance Proceeds Deposit to the Borrowers concurrently upon the replacement of the Lost Non-ATB Vessel with the Approved Substitute Non-ATB Vessel. If, at any time prior to repayment in full of the Term Loan any Vessel(s) comprising part of an ATB Unit sustains a Total Loss, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender upon the earlier of (x) ten (10) days following receipt of insurance proceeds or (y) one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such loss (in no event to extend beyond the maturity date of the Term Loan), an amount equal the product obtained by multiplying the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Allocated Percentage Values of the Vessels comprising such ATB Unit, and the denominator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of all Vessels then securing the Borrower’s Obligations immediately prior to such Total Loss (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in which case the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender on such date, an amount equal to the greater of (x) all insurance proceeds payable as a result of such Total Loss up to but not to exceed the amount then outstanding under the Term Loan, or (y) the product obtained by multiplying the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Allocated Percentage Values of the Vessels comprising such ATB Unit, and the denominator of which is the Allocated Percentage Value of all Vessels then securing the Borrower’s Obligations immediately prior to such Total Loss), plus all accrued but unpaid interest due thereon, and all other sums then due hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall not be required in the event that the one of the Vessel’s comprising an ATB Unit suffers a Total Loss (the “Lost ATB Vessel”) provided that (i) within ninety (90) days after the date of such Total Loss, the applicable Vessel Owner acquires a substitute vessel for the Lost ATB Vessel that (1) has a fair market value (as verified by an Approved Appraiser), remaining useful life and utility at least equal to or greater than the Lost ATB Vessel at the time of the substitution (provided that the Lost ATB Vessel was maintained in the condition required by the Loan Documents), and is in good operating condition, working order and repair as the Lost ATB Vessel, (2) if classed, is classed and in class without any recommendations or conditions affecting her class; (3) is duly documented (or is being documented concurrently with the release of the ATB Vessel Insurance Proceeds Deposit) in the name of the applicable Vessel Owner under the laws and flag of the United States qualified to engage in the coastwise and foreign trade of the United States to the same extent as the Lost ATB Vessel, (4) is (or concurrently with the release of the Insurance Proceeds Deposit, will be) subject to a Vessel Mortgage, Assignment of Earnings, and Assignment of Insurances in favor of the Lender, and in connection therewith, the Lender shall have received such opinions, abstracts, certificates and due diligence items as the Lender shall require, (5) is free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances (other than the Vessel Mortgage and Permitted Maritime Liens), (6) is able to be connected to the remaining Vessel that comprised the ATB Unit to allow such substitute vessel and the remaining Vessel to be operated as a complete articulated tug and barge unit to the same extent as the original ATB Unit, and (7) is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Lender (each an “Approved Substitute ATB Vessel”), and (ii) all reasonable and documented expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with such substitution (including, without limitation, all search fees, legal fees and recordation costs) shall be borne by the Borrowers and paid to the Lender upon demand. Any insurance proceeds received by any Borrow pending replacement of the Lost ATB Vessel with an Approved Substitute ATB Vessel shall promptly be delivered to the Lender (the “ATB Vessel Insurance Proceeds Deposit”) to be deposited in a non-interest-bearing account to be held by the Lender or by such other Person as may be approved by the Lender. The ATB Vessel Insurance Proceeds Deposit shall constitute a part of the Collateral, and the Borrowers’ hereby grant to the Lender a security interest therein. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon satisfaction of each of the foregoing conditions, the Lender shall release the ATB Vessel Insurance Proceeds Deposit to the Borrowers concurrently upon the replacement of the Lost ATB Vessel with the Approved Substitute ATB Vessel. No Prepayment Fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment made under this Section 1.6(b)(ii).

(iii) OSG Endurance Refinance Event. If there occurs an OSG Endurance Refinance Event or a sale or other Disposition of the vessel named “OSG ENDURANCE”, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender upon the occurrence of such event, an amount equal to the Allocated Vessel Amount for the “OSG ENDURANCE”, plus all accrued but unpaid interest then due with respect to the principal amount to be prepaid, the applicable Prepayment Fee, and all other sums then due hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, any Total Loss of the “OSG ENDURANCE” shall be governed by the provisions of Section 1.6(b)(ii).

(c) Loan to Value; Appraisals. If, at any time after the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, but prior to the payment in full of the Term Loan, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan is greater than seventy-two percent (72%) of the Appraised Value, the Borrowers shall, within thirty (30) days following notice thereof from the Lender to the Borrowers, pay to the Lender, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount necessary to cause the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan to be equal to or less than seventy-two percent (72%) of the Appraised Value (“LTV Payment”). The Lender shall have the right to obtain a Vessel Appraisal one time during each twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date (or more often as the Lender may elect in its sole discretion at any time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) in order to determine the Appraised Value, which Vessel Appraisals shall be addressed to Lender. If, following its receipt of such notice from the Lender, the Borrower disputes the value assigned to the Vessels, the Borrower shall have the right to have the Vessels reappraised at its own cost and expense by a qualified nationally recognized marine appraiser selected by it and approved and engaged by the Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In such event, the then Appraised Value shall be the arithmetic average of the Vessel Appraisals. All appraisal costs and fees incurred by Lender with respect to any such Vessel Appraisals shall be paid by the Borrowers promptly upon demand by the Lender. Any LTV Payment shall be made without the payment of a Prepayment Fee. All amounts received by the Lender pursuant to this Section 1.6(c) shall be applied by the Lender to prepay the outstanding principal installments due under the Term Loan Note in the inverse order of maturity.

(d) No Implied Consent. Provisions contained in this Section 1.6 for the application of proceeds of certain transactions shall not be deemed to constitute consent of the Lender to transactions that are not otherwise permitted by the terms hereof or by the other Loan Documents.

1.7 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay to the Lender on the Closing Date a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in the amount of $3,250,000. The Commitment Fee, once paid, shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable.

(b) Prepayment Fee. Upon any prepayment of the Term Loan (including, without limitation, any prepayment required by Section 1.6(b)(i) or Section 1.6(b)(iii) but excluding any prepayment required by Section 1.6(b)(ii) or Section 1.6(c), in addition to all other amounts then payable, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender the applicable Prepayment Fee, if any.

1.8 Payments by the Borrowers.

(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account of principal, interest, fees (including, without limitation, any Prepayment Fee) and other amounts required hereunder shall (i) be made without set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or deduction of any kind, (ii) be made to the Lender at its address specified in the signature page hereof (or such other address as the Lender may from time to time specify in accordance with Section 8.2), including payments utilizing the ACH system, and (iii) be made in Dollars by wire transfer or ACH transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder), no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the due date thereof. Any payment which is received by the Lender after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) may, in the Lender’s sole discretion, be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon.

(b) If any payment due hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender shall apply any and all payments received by the Lender in respect of any Obligation in accordance with clauses first through fifth below. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, all payments made by any of the Credit Parties to the Lender after any or all of the Obligations have been accelerated (so long as such acceleration has not been rescinded), including proceeds of Collateral, shall be applied as follows:

first, to payment of fees, costs and expenses, including Attorney Costs, of the Lender payable or reimbursable by the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents;

second, to payment of all accrued but unpaid interest then due on the Obligations and all fees then owed to the Lender;

third, to payment of principal of the Obligations then due and payable;

fourth, to payment of any other amounts owing constituting Obligations; and

fifth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled thereto.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided above until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (ii) no payments made by any Guarantor shall be applied to Excluded Rate Contract Obligations of any such Guarantor.

Furthermore, each Borrower waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Credit Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person.

(b) Right to Assign.

(c) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 8.8, the Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal and/or interest due on payment of the Term Loan), to any Person other than a Disqualified Institution.

(d) Participants. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 8.8, the Lender may, without notice to or consent from the Borrowers or any Guarantor, sell participations to one or more Persons other than a Disqualified Institution in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loan); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) the Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Borrowers towards the Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with the Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations, except that each such participant shall be entitled to the benefit of Article IX, but, with respect to Section 9.1, only to the extent such participant delivers the Tax forms the Lender is required to collect pursuant to subsection 9.1(f) and then only to the extent of any amount to which the Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation.

(e) Matters Pertaining to Disqualified Institutions. Should the Lender assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or sell a participation interest hereunder, the Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the representation of such assignee or participant in the relevant assignment agreement or participation agreement, as applicable, that it is not a Disqualified Institution, unless such assignee or purchaser is (i) a person that has been identified by the Borrowers to the Lender in writing as a Disqualified Institution or (ii) an Affiliate of such a Disqualified Institution that is clearly identifiable as an Affiliate of a Disqualified Institution on the basis of such Affiliate’s name.

8.9 Non-Public Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Non-Public Information. The Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information (“MNPI”) hereunder concerning one or more of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates and agrees to use such information only in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States Federal and state securities laws and regulations).

(b) Confidential Information. The Lender further agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices and procedures, the confidentiality of all information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document which by any Credit Party designates in writing as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrowers’ consent, (ii) to Related Persons of the Lender, as the case may be, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.9 or (B) available to the Lender or any of its Related Persons, as the case may be, from a source (other than any Credit Party) not known by them to be subject to disclosure restrictions, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) (A) to any nationally recognized rating agency, or (B) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify the Credit Parties, (vi) to current or prospective lenders, assignees, or participants, and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, investors, participants, counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 8.9 (and such Person may disclose information to their respective Related Persons in accordance with clause (ii) above), (vii) to any other party hereto, and (viii) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which the Lender or any of its Related Persons is a party or bound, or to the extent necessary to respond to public statements or disclosures by Credit Parties or their Related Persons referring to the Lender or any of its Related Persons.

The Credit Parties agree that by identifying such Borrower Materials as “PUBLIC” or publicly filing such Borrower Materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the Lender shall be entitled to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of U.S. federal and state securities laws. The Credit Parties further represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that the following documents and materials shall be deemed to be PUBLIC, whether or not so marked, and do not contain any MNPI: (A) the Loan Documents, including the schedules and exhibits attached thereto, and (B) administrative materials of a customary nature prepared by the Credit Parties or the Lender.

8.10 Set-off; Sharing of Payments. Right of Setoff.

The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such setoff and application made by the Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 8.10 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Lender and its Affiliates may have.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This Agreement and any other Loan Document containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original.

Each Borrower agrees that if this guaranty, or any liens securing this guaranty, would, but for the application of this sentence, be unenforceable under applicable law, this guaranty and each such lien shall be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent that would not cause this guaranty or such lien to be unenforceable under applicable law, and this guaranty and such lien shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times.

ARTICLE IX.
TAXES

9.1 Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.1, each payment made by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents shall be free and clear of all Taxes (excluding Excluded Taxes).

(b) If any Taxes shall be required by any Requirements of Law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to the Lender (i) such amount shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 9.1), the Lender receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after such payment is made, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(c) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay, and hereby authorizes the Lender to pay in its name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirements of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other Taxes”). Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes by any Borrower, such Borrower shall furnish to the Lender, at its address referred to in Section 8.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(d) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, reimburse and indemnify, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor accompanied by the certificate described below, the Lender for all Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 9.1) paid by the Lender and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A reasonably detailed certificate of the Lender claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e) If the Lender claims any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.1, it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of the Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.

(f) If the Lender sells a participation interest in any of its Obligations and if requested by the Borrowers, the Lender shall collect from such participant a completed original copy of Form W-9 (certifying that such participant is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax)or any successor form.

(g) If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 9.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to subsection 9.1(b)), it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 9.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Borrowers, upon the request of the Lender, shall repay to the Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection 9.1(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 9.1(g), in no event shall the Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrowers (or any of them) pursuant to this subsection 9.1(g) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection 9.1(g) shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.
