Except as provided in Section 2 above, this Amendment shall become effective when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. This Amendment may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including by electronic imaging) all with the same force and effect as if the same was a fully executed and delivered original manual counterpart.

Each of the parties represents and warrants to the other parties that it has the corporate capacity and authority to execute this Amendment through electronic means and there are no restrictions for doing so in that party’s constitutive documents.
7.Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Sections 12.15 (SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION) and 12.17 (JURY TRIAL) of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
8.Severability.

10.Reaffirmation.
Except as expressly amended hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally ratifies its guarantee of the Obligations and grant of security interest and pledge under the Guaranty and Security Agreement and each Loan Document and confirms that the liens, security interests and pledges granted thereunder continue to secure the Obligations, including, without limitation, any additional Obligations resulting from or incurred pursuant to this Amendment.
Each of the Loan Parties hereto, as debtor, grantor, mortgagor, pledger, guarantor, assignor, or in any other similar capacity in which such Loan Party grants liens or security interests in its property or otherwise acts as accommodation party, guarantor, or indemnitor, as the case may be, hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (after giving effect hereto) and (ii) to the extent such Loan Party granted liens on or security interests in any of its property pursuant to any such Loan Document as security for or otherwise guaranteed the Obligations under or with respect to the Loan Documents, ratifies and reaffirms such guarantee and grant of security interest and liens and confirms and agrees that such guarantee includes, and such security interests and liens hereafter secure, all of the Obligations as amended hereby.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the ratification and reaffirmation by the Loan Parties in this Section 10 shall not constitute a new grant of security interests and (ii) the consent of the Loan Parties (other than the Borrower) is not required for this Amendment.
11.Lender Direction.
Pursuant to Sections 11.1 and 12.5 of the Existing Credit Agreement, the undersigned Lenders, which constitute all Lenders, hereby instruct the Agent, not in its individual capacity, but solely as Agent, to execute this Amendment and to execute and deliver such other documents and instruments contemplated hereby or as otherwise reasonably requested by the Loan Parties in connection herewith.

3.Representations and Warranties.
In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower Agent represents and warrants to the Lenders, for itself and for each other Loan Party, as follows:
(a)the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower Agent of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, do not contravene the Borrower Agent’s Governing Documents and do not and will not contravene any Material Contract;
(b)this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower Agent;
(c)this Amendment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower Agent, enforceable against the Borrower Agent and the other Loan Parties in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, Debtor Relief Laws or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity;
(d)no Default or Event of Default exists or shall have occurred and be continuing on and as of the date hereof or, after giving effect to this Amendment, would result from this Amendment and the consummation of the Amendment No. 5 Transactions on the date hereof;
(e)the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that are already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) as of the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date as though made on such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties
- 5 -
12289736v6


that are already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) as of such earlier date); and
(f)(x) all written information concerning the Company and its subsidiaries (other than (i) financial projections, financial estimates, other forward-looking and/or projected information (the “Projections”) and/or (ii) information of a general economic or industry-specific nature (“Economic and Industry Information”)), in each case, that was made available to the Agent or the Lenders by the Borrower Agent, the other Loan Parties or any of their representatives (or on their behalf) in connection with the Amendment No. 5 Transactions (collectively, and excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Projections and Economic and Industry Information, the “Information”) is correct in all material respects, when taken as a whole, and does not, when taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto) and (y) all Projections, if any, were prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower Agent to be reasonable at the time furnished (it being recognized by the Agent and the Lenders that such Projections are not to be viewed as facts and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies many of which are beyond the Loan Parties’ control, that no assurance can be given that any particular financial projections will be realized, that actual results may differ from projected results and that such differences may be material).
4.Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns; Interpretation.
This Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Relevant Documents”) constitute the entire agreement among the parties, supersede any prior written and verbal agreements among them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and shall bind and benefit the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly drafted, and no provision of it shall be interpreted or construed for or against a party because such party purportedly prepared or requested such provision, any other provision or this Amendment as a whole. No promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not set forth in the Relevant Documents shall bind any party hereto, and no such party has relied on any such promise, condition, representation or warranty. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly stated in the Relevant Documents, no representations, warranties or commitments, express or implied, have been made by any party to any other party in relation to the subject matter hereof or thereof. None of the terms or conditions of this Amendment may be changed, modified, waived or cancelled
- 6 -
12289736v6


orally or otherwise, except in writing and in accordance with Section 12.5 (Amendments, Waivers and Consents) of the Credit Agreement.
5.Full Force and Effect of Credit Agreement.
This Amendment is a Loan Document (and the Borrower Agent agrees that the “Obligations” secured by the Collateral shall include any and all obligations of the Borrower Agent under this Amendment). Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect and nothing contained in this Amendment shall in any way impair the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, or alter, waive, annul, vary, affect, or impair any provisions, conditions, or covenants contained therein or any rights, powers, or remedies granted therein. This Amendment shall not constitute a modification of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or a course of dealing with Agent or the Lenders at variance with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents such as to require further notice by Agent or any Lender to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future, except in each case as expressly set forth herein. The Borrower Agent acknowledges and expressly agrees that Agent and the Lenders reserve the right to, and do in fact, require strict compliance with all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (subject to any qualifications set forth therein), as amended herein.
6.Counterparts; Effectiveness.
This Amendment may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Amendment shall become effective when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto and the other conditions precedent to this Amendment set forth in Section 2 shall have been satisfied (or waived). This Amendment may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including by electronic imaging) all with the same force and effect as if the same was a fully executed and delivered original manual counterpart.
The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to this Amendment or any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation assignment and assumptions, amendments or other borrowing requests, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-
- 7 -
12289736v6


based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Each of the parties represents and warrants to the other parties that it has the corporate capacity and authority to execute this Amendment through electronic means and there are no restrictions for doing so in that party’s constitutive documents.
7.Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. SECTIONS 12.15 (SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION) AND 12.17 (JURY TRIAL) OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE.
8.Severability.
In case any provision in or obligation under this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
9.References.
All references in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement and each reference to the “Credit Agreement”, (or the defined term “Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” of words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement) in the other Loan Documents shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby and giving effect to the amendments contained in this Amendment.
10.Reaffirmation.
Except as expressly amended hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally ratifies its grant of security interest and pledge under the Guaranty and Security Agreement and each Loan Document and confirms that the liens, security interests and pledges granted thereunder continue to
- 8 -
12289736v6


secure the Obligations, including, without limitation, any additional Obligations resulting from or incurred pursuant to this Amendment.
Each of the Loan Parties hereto, as debtor, grantor, mortgagor, pledger, guarantor, assignor, or in any other similar capacity in which such Loan Party grants liens or security interests in its property or otherwise acts as accommodation party, guarantor, or indemnitor, as the case may be, hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (after giving effect hereto) and (ii) to the extent such Loan Party granted liens on or security interests in any of its property pursuant to any such Loan Document as security for or otherwise guaranteed the Obligations under or with respect to the Loan Documents, ratifies and reaffirms such guarantee and grant of security interest and liens and confirms and agrees that such guarantee includes, and such security interests and liens hereafter secure, all of the Obligations as amended hereby.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the ratification and reaffirmation by the Loan Parties in this Section 10 shall not constitute a new grant of security interests and (ii) the consent of the Loan Parties (other than the Borrower Agent) is not required for this Amendment.
11.Release.
By its execution hereof and in consideration of the terms herein and other accommodations granted to the Loan Parties hereunder, each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, and its or their successors, assigns and agents, hereby expressly forever waives, releases and discharges any and all claims (including cross-claims, counterclaims, and rights of setoff and recoupment), causes of action (whether direct or derivative in nature), demands, suits, costs, expenses and damages (collectively, the “Claims”) any of them may, as a result of actions or inactions occurring on or prior to the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, have or allege to have as of the date of this Amendment or at any time thereafter (and all defenses that may arise out of any of the foregoing) of any nature, description, or kind whatsoever, based in whole or in part on facts, whether actual, contingent or otherwise, now known, unknown, or subsequently discovered, whether arising in law, at equity or otherwise, against the Agent or any Lender, their respective affiliates, agents, principals, managers, managing members, members, stockholders, “controlling persons” (within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws), directors, officers, employees, attorneys, consultants, advisors, agents, trusts, trustors, beneficiaries, heirs, executors and administrators of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Parties”) arising out of, or relating to, this Amendment, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any or all of the actions and transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any actual or alleged performance or non-performance of any of the Released Parties hereunder or under the Loan Documents (the “Released Matters”). In entering into this Amendment, each Loan
- 9 -
12289736v6


Party expressly disclaims any reliance on any representations, acts, or omissions by any of the Released Parties and hereby agrees and acknowledges that the validity and effectiveness of the releases set forth above does not depend in any way on any such representation, acts and/or omissions or the accuracy, completeness, or validity thereof. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Amendment and the Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents and all other amounts owing thereunder.

The Swingline Lender may, at any time, require the applicable Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan purchased hereunder, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Swingline Loan.

(i)Settlements. Each Lender’s funded portion of any Loan is intended to be equal at all times to such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all outstanding Loans under each Facility.

Such amounts made available to the Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swingline Loan, Protective Advance and Overadvance, and, together with the portion of such Swingline Loan, any Protective Advance and any Overadvance representing Agent’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) Business Days from and after such Settlement Date and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans.
(iii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one (1) Business Day after demand is made by the Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), each Revolving Credit Lender shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from the Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan, any Protective Advance and any Overadvance to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Pro Rata Share thereof, by paying to the Agent, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan, regardless of whether the conditions precedent specified in Section 5.2 have then been satisfied. If such amount is not made available to the Agent by any Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after such demand and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans.
(iv)From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender purchases an undivided interest and participation in any Swingline Loan, Protective Advance or Overadvance under clause (iii) above, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest received by the Agent in respect of such Swingline Loan, Protective Advance and Overadvance.

Interest, fees and other monetary Obligations (including Lender Group Expenses) due and owing under this Agreement may, in the Agent’s discretion, be charged to the Loan Account, and will thereafter be deemed to be Revolving Credit Loans and will bear interest at the same rate as other Revolving Credit Loans.
II.7Cash Management; Control Agreements; Lockboxes.
(a)On or prior to the Closing Date, each U.S. Loan Party and each Canadian Loan Party shall enter into a Control Agreement with each depository bank with which each U.S. Loan Party and each Canadian Loan Party maintains each deposit account into which collections of Receivables are deposited (such deposit accounts, collectively, the “North American Collection Accounts”); provided, however, that to the extent it is not possible to establish Control Agreements with respect to any North American Collection Account (other than any such North American Collection Account maintained with Citibank, N.A. or its affiliates or branches) by the Closing Date, each U.S. Loan Party and each Canadian Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to establish Control Agreements in respect thereof as promptly as possible following the Closing Date. On or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Agent may agree in its sole discretion), each Loan Party shall enter into a Control Agreement with (i) the depository bank which maintains such Loan Parties’ main concentration account (the “Concentration Account”) and (ii) each depository bank, securities intermediary or other financial institution with which such Loan Party maintains each deposit account, securities account or commodities account (the Concentration Account, each North American Collection Account, each Lockbox Account and each deposit account, securities account or commodities account at any time subject to a Control Agreement, other than Restricted Accounts, a “Blocked Account”) and shall at all times thereafter cause all such
-109-


accounts to be maintained as Blocked Accounts; provided, that, no Loan Party shall be required to enter into a Control Agreement with respect to Restricted Accounts. On or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Agent may agree in its sole discretion), each U.S. Loan Party shall have opened new North American Collection Accounts with an Acceptable Bank, and shall have complied with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence with respect to each such North American Collection Account and shall have instructed each of their applicable account debtors to direct payments in respect of Receivables to the appropriate new North American Collection Account.
(b)On or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Agent may agree in its sole discretion), each U.S. Loan Party and each Canadian Loan Party shall have entered into one or more agreements with an Acceptable Bank with respect to Receivables payable to such Loan Party (each, a “Lockbox Agreement” or, collectively, the “Lockbox Agreements”), pursuant to which the Loan Parties shall have established (or directed the applicable depositary bank to establish) one or more post office boxes to be used for the sole and exclusive purpose of receiving all checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment in respect of Receivables and other Collateral (each, a “Lockbox” or, collectively, the “Lockboxes”), and in connection therewith, the Loan Parties shall have opened with the applicable depositary bank one or more deposit accounts (each, a “Lockbox Account” and, collectively, the “Lockbox Accounts”).
(c)Unless the Agent has given contrary instructions to the applicable depositary bank, securities intermediary or financial institution during an Increased Reporting Period pursuant to the applicable Control Agreement, each Loan Party shall give instructions to cause all proceeds of Collateral and all other amounts otherwise constituting or received in respect of proceeds of Collateral received in Blocked Account of such Loan Party other than the Concentration Account, in each case to be transferred each Business Day (or with such other frequency as the Agent may agree) to the Concentration Account.
(d)During an Increased Reporting Period, unless the Agent has given contrary instructions to the applicable depositary bank, securities intermediary or financial institution pursuant to the applicable Control Agreement, each Loan Party shall give instructions to cause the wire transfer on each Business Day (whether or not there are at the time outstanding Loans) of all available amounts in Blocked Accounts to the Concentration Account (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, amounts held in Restricted Accounts), from:
(i)the sale of Inventory;
(ii)all proceeds of collections of Receivables; and
(iii)each Blocked Account (including all cash and other amounts held therein).
(e)Each Loan Party may close deposit accounts, securities accounts or commodities accounts and/or open new deposit accounts, securities accounts or commodities accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to the Agent of appropriate Control Agreements
-110-


to the extent required by the provisions of this Section 2.7. Each Loan Party shall furnish the Agent with prior written notice of its intention to close a Blocked Account or to open any deposit account, securities account or commodities account. In addition, upon the Agent’s request, the Borrower Agent shall provide such information with respect to Restricted Accounts as the Agent may reasonably request.
(f)Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party that (i) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account, all other Blocked Accounts shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations and (ii) during the existence and continuance of an Increased Reporting Period, such Loan Party shall have no right of withdrawal from the Concentration Account and the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account (and any other Blocked Account that are not being transferred to the Concentration Account) shall be transferred to the Agent’s Payment Account for application to the Obligations (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without any corresponding reduction in Commitments) as provided in this Agreement (except for (A) proceeds of assets, other than Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens, to the extent such proceeds are required to be applied to the payment of the applicable obligations secured thereby and (B) proceeds of assets required to be otherwise applied in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement). In the event that any Loan Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections in contravention of the provisions of this Section 2.7, such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Person for the Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Person’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Person and shall promptly be deposited into the Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Person may be instructed by the Agent.
(g)Any amounts received in the Concentration Account at any time when all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full shall, upon the request of Borrower Agent and subject to applicable law, be remitted to the operating account of the Borrower Agent.
(h)The Agent may give any notice of exclusive control or similar notice for any Blocked Account at such time as an Increased Reporting Period has occurred and is continuing. The Agent shall not give any notice of exclusive control or similar notice for any Blocked Account unless an Increased Reporting Period has occurred and is continuing. The Agent shall promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) furnish written notice to each Person with whom a Blocked Account is maintained of any termination of an Increased Reporting Period. So long as no Increased Reporting Period is continuing, the Loan Parties may direct, and shall have sole control over, the manner of disposition of funds in the Blocked Accounts, in each case subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(i)For purposes of determining the Borrowing Base, all amounts received by the Agent in satisfaction of the Obligations will be credited to the Loan Account and the Collateral balances to which they relate upon the Agent’s receipt of an advice from the Agent’s bank that such items have been credited to the Agent’s account at the Agent’s bank (or upon the Agent’s deposit thereof at the Agent’s bank in the case of payments received by the Agent in
-111-


kind), in each case subject to final payment and collection. However, during the continuance of each an Increased Reporting Period or at any time when proceeds are being applied pursuant to Section 10.5, for purposes of computing interest on the Obligations, such items shall be deemed applied by the Agent one (1) Business Day after the Agent’s receipt of advice of deposit thereof at the Agent’s bank.
II.8Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for a period from the Closing Date through and including the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall have no right to terminate this Agreement at any time that any Obligations are outstanding, except upon Payment in Full of all Obligations.
II.9Payment Procedures.
(a)Loan Account. Borrowers hereby authorize the Agent to charge the Loan Account with the amount of all principal, interest, fees, Lender Group Expenses and other payments to be made hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge Borrowers’ payment obligations hereunder by so charging the Loan Account.
(b)Time of Payment. Each payment by the Borrowers on account of principal, interest, fees or Lender Group Expenses hereunder shall be made to the Agent. All payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder and under the Notes, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 4:00 p.m. on the due date thereof to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares (except as expressly otherwise provided), at the Agent’s Payment Account in immediately available funds. Except for payments which are expressly provided to be made (i) for the account of the Agent or the Swingline Lender only or (ii) under the settlement provisions of Section 2.3(i), the Agent shall distribute all payments to the Lenders on the Business Day following receipt in like funds as received. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Lender or any of its Affiliates exercises its right of setoff under Section 12.3 or otherwise, any amounts so recovered shall promptly be shared by such Lender with the other Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(c)Next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest due hereunder.
(d)Application. Subject to Section 10.5, the Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right, if an Event of Default exists, to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or the Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower’s benefit, which is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to
-112-


such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Agent.
II.10Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, then such Lender (at the request of the Borrower Agent) shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.11, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
II.11Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10(a), or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.10, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice by the Borrower Agent to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender agrees to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and the consents required by, Section 12.7), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (a) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.7; (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.10) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and (e) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers or any Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender.
-113-


II.12Defaulting Lenders.
(a)The Agent may recover all amounts owing by a Defaulting Lender on demand, and all such amounts owing shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to two percent (2%) above the per annum rate that would otherwise be applicable to the Loans of such Lender until Paid in Full.
(b)The failure of any Defaulting Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing. Conversely, no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of another Lender to fund such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing.
(c)The Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by the Borrowers to the Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit; nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by the Agent. The Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, apply any or all of such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, or re-lend to the Borrowers the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. For purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender and such Lender’s Commitment or Loans, as applicable, for such purposes shall be deemed to be zero (0). This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until the Defaulting Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender or to relieve or excuse the performance by any of the Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder.
(d)The Agent, at its election, at any time, may require that the reimbursement obligations of a Defaulting Lender in respect of Letters of Credit be reallocated to, and assumed by, the other Revolving Credit Lenders based on their respective Revolving Pro Rata Shares (calculated as if the Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Pro Rata Share was zero (0)); provided that no Revolving Credit Lender shall be reallocated, or required to fund, any such amounts that could would cause the sum of such Revolving Credit Lender’s outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and outstanding reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit to exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment.
(e)If the Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that a Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the 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 Collateralization), that the Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders under the applicable Facility or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and the funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares under each applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.12(c) above) whereupon that Lender will cease to be a
-114-


Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 2.11, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
II.13Letters of Credit.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of the Borrower Agent (which shall be irrevocable) made in accordance herewith, Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to issue a requested Letter of Credit in Dollars for the account of the Borrowers of a tenor and containing terms acceptable to the Borrower Agent, the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, in a maximum aggregate face amount outstanding at any time not to exceed an applicable Letter of Credit Issuer Sublimit or the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided that (i) the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation to cause to be issued any Letter of Credit with a termination date after the Termination Date and (ii) if a Letter of Credit is issued with an expiration date after the Termination Date, the Borrowers shall Collateralize such Letter of Credit in full immediately. The term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of issuance, subject to renewal in accordance with the terms thereof (provided that any notice of extension shall be required at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit hereunder), but in no event to a date beyond the Termination Date. All Letters of Credit shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.5(a), and a sum equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be included in calculating outstanding amounts for purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.5(a). Without limitation of the foregoing, but for the avoidance of any doubt, the maximum amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit outstanding at any one time, when aggregated with (without duplication) all Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans shall not exceed Line Cap.
(b)Immediately upon issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of any Letter of Credit by the Letter of Credit Issuer in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.13, without any further action on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Revolving Credit Lenders, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, of the liability and obligations under and with respect to such Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Agreement (including all obligations of the Borrowers with respect thereto, other than amounts owing to the Letter of Credit Issuer or Agent pursuant to the first sentence of Section 4.5) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto.
(c)Whenever the Borrower Agent desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower Agent shall deliver to the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer a written notice no later than 2:00 p.m. at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) in advance of the proposed date of issuance of a
-115-


letter of credit, such notice to be substantially in the form provided by the Letter of Credit Issuer (a “Letter of Credit Request”). The transmittal by the Borrower Agent of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower Agent that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with and will not violate any of the requirements of this Section 2.13. Prior to the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower Agent shall provide to the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer a precise description of the documents and the text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit which, if presented by such beneficiary on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, would require the Letter of Credit Issuer to make payment under such Letter of Credit. Each of Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, in its Permitted Discretion, may require different forms or changes in any such documents and certificates. No Letter of Credit shall require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder prior to the second Business Day after the date on which such draft is presented.
(d)Upon any request for a drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, (i) the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Agent for a Revolving Credit Loan on the date on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and (ii) without regard to satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 and the other terms and conditions of borrowings contained herein, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall, on the date of such drawing, make Revolving Credit Loans in the amount of such drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Agent to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such drawing or payment. If for any reason, proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans are not received by the Agent on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, the Borrowers shall reimburse the Agent, on the Business Day immediately following the date of such drawing, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such drawing over the amount of such Loans, if any, which are so received, plus accrued interest on such amount at the rate set forth in Section 4.1(a) or 4.2, as applicable.
(e)As among the Borrowers, the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and each Lender, the Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (other than for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer) or misuse of the Letters of Credit by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders nor the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be responsible (i) for the accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under such Letters of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged, (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason, (iii) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher, (iv) for errors in interpretation of technical terms, (v) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof, (vi) for
-116-


the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, of the proceeds of any drawing honored under such Letter of Credit, and (vii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Agent or the Lenders, provided that the foregoing shall not release the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer for any liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, shall not create any liability of the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer to any Borrower or any Lender.
(f)The obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit and the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this Section 2.13 shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, or any Letter of Credit Agreement; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), the Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (v) failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of any drawing; or (vi) that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(g)Any Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder at any time upon notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Agent and the Borrower Agent, which notice shall be delivered (i) concurrently with any permitted assignment of such Letter of Credit Issuer’s interests hereunder as a Revolving Credit Lender, or (ii) otherwise, thirty (30) days in advance of its effective date. From and after the effective date of resignation, the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer shall continue to have all rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under the Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to extend or issue new Letters of Credit.
(h)Each Borrower irrevocably appoints each Letter of Credit Issuer as its attorney-in-fact and authorizes such Letter of Credit Issuer, without notice to Borrowers, to execute and deliver ancillary documents and letters customary in the letter of credit business that may include but are not limited to advisements, indemnities, checks, bills of exchange and issuance documents. The power of attorney granted by the Borrowers is limited solely to such actions related to the issuance, confirmation or amendment of any Letter of Credit and to
-117-


ancillary documents or letters customary in the letter of credit business. This appointment is coupled with an interest.
II.14Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of Obligations payable to such Lender hereunder at such time in excess of its applicable Pro Rata Share, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Appropriate Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) such participations in the Obligations payable to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such other Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
II.15Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.
(a)Subject to the limitations set forth below and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers, on behalf of all Lenders, which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans or other Obligations or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including fees and Lender Group Expenses) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Revolving Credit Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that (A) the aggregate amount of Protective Advances plus Overadvances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed ten percent (10.0%) of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, (B) after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Loans, the aggregate outstanding amount (without duplication) of Revolving Credit Loans and the undrawn amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit shall not exceed one hundred and ten percent (110.0%) of the Borrowing Base on such Borrowing Date, and (C) in no event shall the making of any Protective Advance cause the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Loans and the undrawn amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit to exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment on such Borrowing Date. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent to Borrowing set forth in Section 5.2 have not been satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.2(a), at any time that there is sufficient Excess Availability and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 have been satisfied, the Agent may request the Revolving Credit Lenders to make a Revolving Credit Loan to repay a Protective
-118-


Advance. At any other time the Agent may require the Revolving Credit Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.15(c) below. The Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Agent’s receipt thereof.
(b)Subject to the limitations set forth below and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as, after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Loans, the aggregate outstanding amount (without duplication) of Revolving Credit Loans and the undrawn amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit shall not exceed the lesser of (i) one hundred and ten percent (110.0%) of the Borrowing Base as of such Borrowing Date, and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment on such Borrowing Date. If any Overadvance remains outstanding for more than thirty (30) days, unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate all such Overadvances. The Agent’s authorization to make Overadvances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon Agent’s receipt thereof. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and the Agent and are not meant for the benefit of the Borrowers, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.5(a).
(c)Upon the making of a Protective Advance or an Overadvance by the Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Agent without recourse or warranty an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance or such Overadvance, as the case may be, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share. On any Business Day, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Lenders that the Lenders are required to fund their risk participation in Protective Advances and Overadvances, in which case each Lender shall fund its participation on the date specified in such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may also request Settlement of all Protective Advances and Overadvances in accordance with Section 2.3(i). From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving Credit Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance or Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Protective Advance or Overadvance.
(d)Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder, and, prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the Protective Advances and Overadvances, including interest thereon, shall be payable to the Agent solely for its own account. Protective Advances and Overadvances shall be repayable upon demand, shall be secured by the Collateral, shall constitute Loans and Obligations hereunder and shall bear interest at the rate in effect from time to time applicable to the Revolving Credit

Each Borrower hereby expressly agrees that: (a) each MRE Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (b) each MRE Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (c) there has been a course of conduct between the MRE Term Lenders and the Borrowers giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay each MRE Prepayment Premium subject to the terms hereof; and (d) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 4.6(b). Each Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges that the agreement to pay any applicable MRE Prepayment Premium as herein described is a material inducement to the MRE Term Lenders to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

IV.7Inaccuracies of Financial Information, Etc. If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to any Financial Statements or for any other reason, the Borrower Agent, the Agent or the Lenders determine that (a) EBITDA as calculated by the Borrower Agent as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (b) a proper calculation of EBITDA would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Agent (or, after the occurrence of Insolvency Event, automatically and without further action by the Agent or any Lender, an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This Section 4.6 shall not limit the rights of the Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Section 4.2 or under Article X. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 4.6 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the Payment in Full of the Obligations.
IV.8Fee Letter. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for its own account as and when due in accordance with the terms thereof all fees required to be paid to the Agent under the Fee Letter.
IV.9Computations. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, interest and fees payable pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which such interest or fees accrue. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure under such Act, wherever any interest to be paid under this Agreement is to be calculated on the basis of any period of time that is less than a calendar year (a “deemed year”), such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest for the deemed year by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the rate is to be ascertained and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate, fee or other payment hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each fee payable under this Agreement is fully earned and non-refundable on the date such fee is due and payable and that each such fee constitutes Obligations and is in addition to any other fees payable by the Borrowers under the Loan Document. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document would require a Loan Party to make any payment of interest or any other payment that by a court of competent jurisdiction construes to be interest in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in the Agent’s receipt of interest at a criminal rate (as those terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then despite that provision, that amount or rate will be deemed to have been adjusted retroactively to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or would not result in a receipt by the Agent of interest at a criminal rate. The adjustment will be made, to the extent necessary, first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid and thereafter by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums, and other amounts that would constitute interest for the purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

IV.10Certain Provisions Regarding SOFR Rate.
(a)Increased Costs.
(i)If any Change in Law shall:
(A)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer;
(B)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (1) Indemnified Taxes, (2) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (3) 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
(C)impose on any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(ii)Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital
-127-


adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(iii)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 4.10(a)(i) or (ii) and delivered to the Borrower Agent will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers will pay such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(iv)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.10(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section 4.10(a) for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(b)Inadequate or Unfair Basis. If the Agent or any Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank market or otherwise, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR, then the Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent (and the Agent, if applicable) thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) the Agent and/or such Lender shall be under no obligation to make any SOFR Loans and (ii) on the last day of the current calendar month, each SOFR Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.
(c)Illegality. If any change in market conditions or Change in Law, or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law or regulation by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, would make it (or in the good faith judgment of the Agent or the applicable Lender cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful or impractical for the Agent or such Lender to make, maintain or fund SOFR Loans, then the Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) the Agent or such Lender shall have no obligation to make any SOFR Loan and (ii) on the last day of the current calendar month for each SOFR Loan (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such SOFR Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.

(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. 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.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Agent by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.7 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the 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 the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 4.11(e).

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Agent as will enable the Borrower Agent or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.11(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Loan Party,
(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Agent or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.11(i) (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 4.11(i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
-132-


indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.11(i) 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.
(j)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(ii)Termination of Commitments. To declare any or all of the Commitments immediately terminated and, at all times thereafter, any Loan made by the
-176-


Lenders and any Letter of Credit Extension made by the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be made or issued in respective discretion of the applicable Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable; and
(iii)Cash Collateralization. With respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding at the time of the acceleration of the Revolving Obligations under Section 10.2(a) or otherwise at any time after the Termination Date, the Borrowers shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account established by or on behalf of the Agent sufficient funds to Collateralize the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent and applied by the Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account, after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon shall be applied to repay the other Obligations. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon and all Obligations have been Paid in Full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrowers or to such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto;
provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to a Loan Party specified in Section 10.1(d), (i) the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to make Letter of Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, (ii) all Obligations (including, any Revolving Credit Termination Premium, any Delayed Draw Prepayment Premium and any MRE Prepayment Premium) shall automatically become immediately due and payable, and (iii) the obligation of the Borrowers to Collateralize the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iii) shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Agent or any Lender.
(b)Delayed Draw Standstill Period. If at any time while any Delayed Draw Term Loan is outstanding any Delayed Draw Event of Default occurs and is continuing (unless the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders have waived such Delayed Draw Event of Default) and the Delayed Draw Standstill Period has expired, the Agent, at the written request of the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders shall, within a reasonable time after receipt of such written request (but in any event within three (3) Business Days with respect to clause (i) below, only) take any or all of the following actions:
(i)Acceleration. To declare all Delayed Draw Obligations to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other action or obligation of the Agent or any Lender, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower; and
(ii)Other Remedies. Whether or not the maturity of the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall have been accelerated pursuant hereto, proceed to exercise any and all other remedies available under the Loan Documents at law or in equity on behalf of the Delayed Draw Term Lenders solely with respect to the European Collateral, the Dutch Loan Parties and the UK Loan Parties, including commencing and prosecuting any suits,
-177-


actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction and collecting the European Collateral or any portion thereof and enforcing any other right in respect of any European Collateral, all in such manner as the Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders will not request or direct the Agent to commence or continue the exercise of any secured creditor remedies with respect to the European Collateral (or the Dutch Loan Parties and the UK Loan Parties) or direct or request the Agent to seek or continue any rights and remedies under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law on behalf of the Delayed Draw Secured Parties with respect to European Collateral (or the Dutch Loan Parties and the UK Loan Parties), in each case, so long as the Agent is diligently pursuing in good faith the exercise of its rights and remedies against substantially all of the Collateral, including through actions taken by the Loan Parties with the consent of the Agent (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall have no liability for a failure to follow any such request or direction). Upon the written request of any Delayed Draw Term Lender, the Agent shall provide a description of any ongoing exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent (i) an Event of Default under Section 10.1(n) occurs and is continuing (unless the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders have waived such Event of Default) and (ii) the Revolving Obligations have been Paid in Full (except in the case of an Event of Default under Section 10.1(n)(iii)), the Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders shall, exercise the remedies listed in clauses (i) and/or (ii) above, as applicable, without any regard to whether the Delayed Draw Standstill Period has expired.
(c)No Effect on Collateral. Notwithstanding the termination of any Commitment or the acceleration of any Obligations pursuant to this Article X, until all Obligations shall have been Paid in Full, the Agent and each Lender shall retain all rights under guaranties and all security in existing and future Receivables, inventory, general intangibles, investment property, real property and equipment of the Loan Parties and all other Collateral held by it hereunder and under the Security Documents, and the Loan Parties shall continue to turn over all Collections to the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

X.3Other Remedies. Subject in all events to Section 10.2(b),
(a)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have all rights and remedies with respect to the Obligations and the Collateral under applicable law (including the UCC and the PPSA) and the Loan Documents, and the Agent may do any or all of the following: (i) remove for copying all documents, instruments, files and
-178-

(b)The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) consent to the sale of, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or other similar provision of any Debtor Relief Law), (ii) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, or other applicable law, or (iii) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by the Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy, in each case, free from any right of redemption, which right is expressly waived by the Borrowers. If notice of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, it is agreed that ten (10) days’ notice shall constitute reasonable notification. The Borrowers will assemble the Collateral in their possession and make it available at such locations in the United States as the Agent may specify, whether at the premises of a Loan Party or elsewhere, and will make reasonably available to the Agent the premises and facilities of each Loan Party for the purpose of the Agent’s taking possession of or removing the Collateral or putting the Collateral in saleable form. The Agent may sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Loan Party hereby grants the Agent a license to enter and occupy (in each case, so long as no Event of Default then exists, at reasonable times and subject to reasonable procedures) any of Loan Parties’ leased or owned premises and facilities, without charge, to exercise any of the Agent’s rights or remedies. The proceeds received from any sale of Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 10.5. Each Delayed Draw Secured Party agrees not to object to such credit bid, so long as such credit bid does not exceed the amount of the Revolving Obligations.
-179-


X.4License for Use of Intellectual Property, Real Property and Other Property. The Borrowers hereby grants to the Agent a license or other right to use, without charge, all Intellectual Property, advertising materials, Real Property and other rights, assets and materials used by the Borrowers in connection with their businesses or in connection with the Collateral, in each case with respect to any exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents.

In determining the amount to be applied to Bank Product Obligations within any given category,
-187-


each Bank Product Provider’s pro rata share thereof shall be based on the lesser of (x) the amount presented in the most recent notice from such Bank Product Provider to the Agent (as contemplated in the definition of “Bank Product Obligations”) and (y) the actual amount of such Bank Product Obligations, calculated in accordance with a methodology presented to and approved by the Agent in its Permitted Discretion by such Bank Product Provider to the Agent. The Agent has no duty to investigate the actual amount of any Bank Product Obligations and, instead, is entitled to rely in all respects on the applicable Bank Product Provider’s reasonably detailed written accounting thereof. If such Bank Product Provider does not submit such accounting of its own accord and in a timely manner, the Agent, may instead rely on any prior accounting thereof. The allocations set forth in this Section 10.5 are solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Secured Parties among themselves and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party. No Loan Party is entitled to any benefit under this Section or has any standing to enforce this Section 10.5.
(e)Mixed Asset Dispositions.
(i)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 10.5 or Section 2.5, in the event that any sale or disposition includes (a) the Equity Interests issued by a Loan Party or any Subsidiary or (b) a combination of European Collateral and North American Collateral, then for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the Agent and the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders, the proceeds of any such sale or disposition received by the Agent shall be allocated to the North American Collateral in an amount equal to the sum of (1) with respect to any North American Collateral included in any such sale or disposition consisting of assets of the type included in the Borrowing Base, the Value of such assets, (2) with respect to any North American Collateral included in any such sale or disposition consisting of cash or Cash Equivalents, the aggregate amount of such cash and Cash Equivalents and (3) with respect to any other North American Collateral included in any such sale or disposition, an amount jointly determined in good faith by the Agent and the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders. In the event the Agent and the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the amount of the proceeds referred to in clause (3) of the preceding sentence, the Agent or the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to make a determination as to the settlement of such claims, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon all Secured Parties.
(ii)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 10.5 and Section 2.5, in the event that any sale or disposition includes (a) the Equity Interests issued by a Loan Party or any Subsidiary that owns MRE Collateral or (b) a combination of North American Collateral and MRE Collateral, then for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, the Required MRE Term Lenders and the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders, the proceeds of any such sale or disposition received by the Agent shall be allocated to the MRE Collateral in an amount equal to the Appraised Value of such MRE Collateral.
-188-


X.6No Marshaling; Deficiencies; Remedies Cumulative. The Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any Collateral or to seek recourse against or satisfaction of any of the Obligations from one source before seeking recourse against or satisfaction from another source. The net cash proceeds resulting from the Agent’s exercise of any of the foregoing rights to liquidate all or substantially all of the Collateral, including any and all Collections (after deducting all of the Agent’s expenses related thereto), shall be applied by the Agent to such of the Obligations and in such order as the Agent shall elect in its discretion, whether due or to become due. The Borrowers shall remain liable to the Agent and the Lenders for any deficiencies, and the Agent and the Lenders in turn agree to remit to the applicable Loan Party or its successor or assign any surplus resulting therefrom. All of the Agent’s and the Lenders’ remedies under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative, may be exercised simultaneously against any Collateral and any Loan Party or in such order and with respect to such Collateral or such Loan Party as the Agent or the Lenders may deem desirable, and are not intended to be exhaustive.
X.7Waivers. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein or in any other Loan Document, the Borrowers hereby waive any right to a judicial or other hearing with respect to any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by the Agent to take possession, exercise control over, or dispose of any item of Collateral in any instance (regardless of where the same may be located) where such action is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by applicable law or of the time, place or terms of sale in connection with the exercise of the Agent’s or any Lender’s rights hereunder and also waives any bonds, security or sureties required by any statute, rule or other law as an incident to any taking of possession by the Agent of any Collateral. The Borrowers also waive any damages (direct, consequential or otherwise) occasioned by the enforcement of the Agent’s or any Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document including the taking of possession of any Collateral or the giving of notice to any account debtor or the collection of any Receivable of the Borrowers. The Borrowers also consent that the Agent and the Lenders may enter upon any premises owned by or leased to it without obligations to pay rent or for use and occupancy, through self-help, without judicial process and without having first obtained an order of any court (in each case, in connection with the remedies hereunder). These waivers and all other waivers provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated by the parties, and the Borrowers acknowledge that it has been represented by counsel of its own choice, has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights hereunder and has freely and voluntarily entered into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the result of arm’s-length negotiations.
X.8Further Rights of Agent and the Lenders. If the Borrowers shall fail to purchase or maintain insurance (where applicable), or to pay any tax, assessment, governmental charge or levy, except as the same may be otherwise permitted hereunder or which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP, or if any Lien prohibited hereby shall not be paid in full and discharged or if a the Borrowers shall fail to perform or comply with any other covenant, promise or obligation to the Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Agent may (but shall not be required to) perform, pay, satisfy, discharge or bond the same for the
-189-


account of the Borrowers, and all amounts so paid by the Agent shall be treated as a Revolving Credit Loan and shall constitute part of the Obligations.
X.9Interest and Letter of Credit Fees After Event of Default. The Borrowers agree and acknowledge that the additional interest and fees that may be charged under Section 4.2 are (a) an inducement to the Lenders to make Loans and to the Letter of Credit Issuer to cause Letters of Credit to be issued hereunder and that the Lenders and the Agent would not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the inclusion of such provisions, (b) fair and reasonable estimates of the Lenders’ and the Agent’s costs of administering the credit facility upon an Event of Default, and (c) intended to estimate the Lenders’ and the Agent’s increased risks upon an Event of Default.
X.10Receiver. In addition to any other remedy available to it, the Agent shall also have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during its continuation, to seek and obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and operate and/or dispose of the business and assets of the Borrowers.
X.11Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy provided for herein or in any other Loan Document or otherwise provided by law from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during its continuation, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.
X.12Insolvency Financings; Proceedings under Debtor Relief Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if any Loan Party shall be subject to any proceeding with respect to any Debtor Relief Laws:
(a)Insolvency Financings. If the Agent, any Revolving Secured Party or any MRE Secured Party shall seek to provide any Loan Party with, or the Agent shall seek to consent to a third party providing, any Insolvency Financing, with such Insolvency Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or other applicable law) would be Collateral), each Delayed Draw Secured Party agrees and confirms that it shall be deemed to have consented to such Insolvency Financing and to the Liens securing such Insolvency Financings (or securing any claim for diminution in value in connection therewith) and that it shall not object to any such Insolvency Financing or to the Liens securing such Insolvency Financing (or securing any claim for diminution in value in connection therewith) (nor support any other Person objecting to such Insolvency Financing or to the Liens securing Insolvency Financing (or securing any claim for diminution in value in connection therewith) or request the Agent make any such objection), on any grounds whatsoever so long as the Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the Delayed Draw Obligations, subordinate to the Liens securing such Insolvency Financing (and any Lien securing any claim for diminution in value in connection therewith), but otherwise with the same relative priority as existed immediately prior to the commencement of such proceeding with respect to Debtor Relief Laws (provided that, if in connection with any Insolvency Financing provided by any Revolving Secured Party or any MRE Security Party, or consented to by the Agent, any Liens on the Collateral held by the Agent, or any Liens securing such
-190-


Insolvency Financing, are subject to a surcharge or are subordinated to an administrative priority claim or are subject to a Carve Out, court ordered charge, fee or other similar interest or right, and so long as the amount of such surcharge, claim, Carve Out, court ordered charge, fee or other similar interest or right is reasonable under the circumstances, then the Liens of the Agent on the Collateral securing the Delayed Draw Obligations, shall also be subordinated to such surcharge, claim, Carve Out, court ordered charge, fee or other similar interest or right to the same extent as the Revolving Obligations and/or Insolvency Financing, as applicable (an Insolvency Financing complying with the provisions of this paragraph referred to herein as a “Conforming Insolvency Financing”). For the avoidance of any doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Delayed Draw Term Lender agrees that, other than with respect to amounts payable pursuant to Section 10.12(c), the payment of principal, interest and fees on account of Delayed Draw Obligations may be limited in connection with the provision of any Insolvency Financing that is a Conforming Insolvency Financing or is otherwise consented to by the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders.
(b)Delayed Draw Insolvency Financings. The Delayed Draw Term Lenders hereby agree that they shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate controlled by any of them to, (i) provide or offer to provide any Insolvency Financing to the Loan Parties, without the prior consent of the Agent; provided, however, that, to the extent the Agent hereunder is not an Eclipse Affiliate, such prior consent of the Agent shall not be required, or (ii) endorse (except for an Insolvency Financing provided by the Agent, any Revolving Secured Party or any MRE Security Party (or any third party with consent of the Agent)) the provision of any Insolvency Financing to the Loan Parties in any proceeding with respect to Debtor Relief Laws.
(c)Adequate Protection; No Contest.
(i)All adequate protection granted to the Agent in any proceeding with respect to Debtor Relief Laws, including all Liens granted to the Agent in any proceeding with respect to Debtor Relief Laws as adequate protection, are intended to be for the benefit of all Secured Parties and shall be subject to Section 10.5, subject to any court order affecting the rights and interests of the parties hereto not in conflict with the terms hereof. Each Delayed Draw Term Lender agrees that it shall not contest (or support any other Person contesting) (A) any request by the Agent for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (or any similar request under any applicable foreign Debtor Relief Laws) or (B) any objection by the Agent to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the Agent that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (as contemplated in the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to any similar concept under any applicable foreign Debtor Relief Laws), so long as any Liens granted to the Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to the priorities set forth in Section 10.5, subject to any court order affecting the rights and interests of the parties hereto not in conflict with the terms hereof.
(ii)Each Delayed Draw Term Lender agrees that it will not seek or accept any form of adequate protection (as contemplated in the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to any similar concept under any applicable foreign Debtor Relief Laws) with
-191-


respect to the North American Collateral or the MRE Collateral or payable with proceeds of North America Collateral or the MRE Collateral, except as may be consented to in writing by the Agent in its sole discretion.
(iii)Subject to Section 10(c)(ii), the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders may instruct the Agent to seek adequate protection of any of the Delayed Draw Term Lenders’ interest in the Collateral (or any similar request under any applicable foreign Debtor Relief Laws), so long as (A) any Liens to be granted as adequate protection of the Delayed Draw Term Lenders’ interests are granted to the Agent, on behalf of the Delayed Draw Term Lenders, and are subject to the priorities set forth in Section 10.5 and (B) except as may be consented to in writing by the Agent in its sole discretion, any such adequate protection is not paid with proceeds of North America Collateral or MRE Collateral; provided that if adequate protection is provided in respect of the Agent’s and Delayed Draw Term Lenders’ interest in the European Collateral that is consistent with the foregoing clause (A) of this Section 10.12(c)(iii) and otherwise equivalent to the adequate protection provided in respect of the Agent’s and Revolving Credit Lenders’ interest in the North American Collateral, then such adequate protection shall be deemed satisfactory to the Delayed Draw Term Lenders, and the Delayed Draw Term Lenders shall have no further right of instruction hereunder.
(iv)The Agent, on behalf of itself, the other Revolving Secured Parties and the MRE Secured Parties, agrees that neither it or they will seek or accept any form of adequate protection (as contemplated in the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to any similar concept under any applicable foreign Debtor Relief Laws) with respect to the European Collateral, except as provided in clause (i) and (iii) above or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the Delayed Draw Term Lenders in their sole discretion.
(d)Relief from Stay. Each Delayed Draw Term Lender agrees not to (i) seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any proceeding with respect to Debtor Relief Laws in respect of any Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Agent, or (ii) oppose any request by the Agent, any Revolving Secured Party, any MRE Secured Party, or, in the case of any Insolvency Financing consented to by the Agent, any Revolving Secured Party or any MRE Secured Party, any Person providing such Insolvency Financing for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any proceeding with respect to Debtor Relief Laws in respect of any Loan Party.
X.13Separate Classification. Whether or not it is held that the Revolving Obligations, the Delayed Draw Obligations and/or the MRE Obligations together constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of secured claims), the Revolving Secured Parties, the Delayed Draw Secured Parties and the MRE Secured Parties hereby agree that in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws of any Loan Party, all payments and distributions shall applied as if the Revolving Obligations, the Delayed Draw Obligations and the MRE Obligations were separate classes of secured claims against the Loan Parties in respect of the Collateral with the effect that the Revolving Secured Parties, the Delayed Draw Secured Parties and the MRE Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment of all amounts owing to them in accordance
-192-


with the priorities in Section 10.5 (whether or not allowed in such proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, and including in respect of post-petition interest and expenses) that would be owing to them as if the Revolving Obligations, the Delayed Draw Obligations and the MRE Obligations were so classified as a separate claim and secured by a separate Lien, with the Revolving Secured Parties, the Delayed Draw Secured Parties and the MRE Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Delayed Draw Obligations, the Revolving Obligations or the MRE Obligations, as applicable, payments or proceeds of Collateral otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this Section 10.13.
X.14Avoidance and Reinstatement. If a Revolving Secured Party, a Delayed Draw Secured Party or an MRE Secured Party receives payment or property on account of the Revolving Obligations, the Delayed Draw Obligations or the MRE Obligations, and the payment is subsequently invalidated, avoided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or otherwise required to be transferred to a trustee, receiver or the estate of any Loan Party (in each instance, to the extent required by applicable law, a “Recovery”), then, to the extent of the Recovery, the Revolving Obligations, the Delayed Draw Obligations or the MRE Obligations intended to have been satisfied by the payment will be reinstated as Revolving Obligations, Delayed Draw Obligations or MRE Obligations, as applicable, as of the date of such payment, and no payment with respect to, or discharge of the Revolving Obligations, the Delayed Draw Obligations or the MRE Obligations, as applicable, will be deemed to have occurred for all purposes hereunder. If this Agreement is terminated prior to a Recovery, this Agreement will be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination will not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Loan Parties from the date of reinstatement. Upon such reinstatement of the Obligations, each Revolving Secured Party, Delayed Draw Secured Party and MRE Secured Party will disgorge and deliver to the Agent any Collateral or proceeds thereof received in payment of, or to discharge, the Obligations to effect the reinstatement required pursuant to the terms hereof. No Revolving Secured Party, Delayed Draw Secured Party or MRE Secured Party may benefit from a Recovery, and any distribution made to a Revolving Secured Party, a Delayed Draw Secured Party or an MRE Secured Party as a result of a Recovery will be paid over to the Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 10.5 (after application to any Insolvency Financing that is a Conforming Insolvency Financing or is otherwise consented to by the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders).
X.15Payments Over. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Article X, payments or proceeds of Collateral shall be received by any Revolving Secured Party, any Delayed Draw Secured Party or any MRE Secured Party in violation of the priorities set forth herein, such payments or proceeds of Collateral shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over to or delivered to the Agent upon the Agent’s or the Required Lenders’ written demand.
X.16Asset Sales. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 10.3(b)) or any other Loan Document, each Delayed Draw Secured Party agrees that it will not raise any objection to, or oppose, and shall be deemed to have consented to
-193-


the release of any Loan Party from its obligations under any Loan Document or to any private or public sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral (and any post-petition or post-filing assets subject to adequate protection Liens or comparable Liens under any Debtor Relief Law in favor of the Agent) free and clear of any Liens and other claims (a) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default if the Agent has consented to such release or sale; provided, however, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement and prior to the commencement of any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws involving any Loan Party, any such sale by the Agent shall be made in accordance with applicable law and the Agent shall provide not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to the Delayed Draw Term Lenders of any proposed sale, or (b) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or other similar provision of any Debtor Relief Law) in each case under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), if the Agent has consented to such release or sale, and in connection with each of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), each Delayed Draw Secured Party shall be deemed to have consented to such release and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to release any Lien on any of the Collateral; provided that any Lien of the Agent on such Collateral attaches to the net proceeds of such sale or other disposition of the Collateral received by the Agent and that all proceeds of the Collateral received by the Agent from such sale or other disposition are, after application to any Insolvency Financing that is a Conforming Insolvency Financing or is otherwise consented to by the Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders, applied in accordance with Section 10.5.
Article XI
THE AGENT

(a)Each Lender hereby designates the Agent as its agent and irrevocably authorizes it to take action on such Lender’s behalf under the Loan Documents and to exercise the powers and to perform the duties described therein and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent may perform any of its duties by or through its agents or employees or by or through one or more sub-agents appointed by it.
(b)The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and except as expressly set forth herein, Loan Parties shall not have any rights with respect to any of the provisions hereof.

The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Agent does not have a fiduciary relationship with or any implied duties to any Lender or any participant of any Lender.
XI.3Lack of Reliance on Agent.
-194-


(a)Independent Investigation. Independently and without reliance upon Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial or other condition and affairs of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties in connection with taking or not taking any action related hereto and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the initial Loans or the issuance of the initial Letter of Credit or at any time or times thereafter.
(b)No Obligation of Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or the Notes or the financial or other condition of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. The Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the financial condition of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.
XI.4Certain Rights of Agent. The Agent may request instructions from the Required Lenders at any time. If Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or inaction, it shall be entitled to await instructions from the Required Lenders.

XI.7Agent in Its Individual Capacity. In its individual capacity, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender or holder of a Note or participation interest and may exercise the same as though it was not performing the duties specified herein. The terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving Credit Lenders”, “Required Supermajority Revolving Credit Lenders”, “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrowers or any Affiliate of the Borrowers as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrowers for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

XI.9Successor Agent.
(a)Resignation. The Agent may, upon twenty (20) Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers, resign by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If, at the time that the Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, and it shall automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit, or to make Swingline Loans.
(b)Replacement of Agent after Resignation. Upon receipt of notice of resignation by the Agent, the Required Lenders, with, so long as no Event of Default then exists, the consent of the Borrower Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) may appoint a successor agent which shall also be a Lender. If a successor agent has not accepted its appointment within fifteen (15) Business Days, then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor agent which, so long as no Event of Default then exists, shall be subject to the written approval of the Borrower Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be delivered to the retiring Agent and the Lenders within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower Agent’s receipt of notice of a proposed successor agent.
(c)Removal of Agent. If the Person serving as the Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrowers and such Person as the Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor thereto.
(d)Discharge. Upon its acceptance of the agency hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
-196-


retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. The retiring Agent shall continue to have the benefit of the provisions of this Article for any action or inaction while it was the Agent.
XI.10Collateral Matters.
(a)Exercise Binding. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any action or exercise of powers by the Agent provided under the Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be deemed authorized by and binding upon all of the Lenders. At any time and without notice to or consent from any Lender, the Agent may take any action necessary or advisable to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Liens upon the Collateral.
(b)Releases. The Agent is authorized to release any Lien granted to or held by it upon any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full of all of the Obligations, (ii) in connection with permitted sales or other dispositions of Collateral hereunder, as set forth in Section 11.10(c) or (iii) if the release can be and is approved by the Required Lenders. The Agent may request, and the Lenders will provide, confirmation of Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral.
(c)Sale of Collateral. Upon any sale or transfer of Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request (or such shorter period as the Agent may agree to in its sole discretion) by Borrower Agent, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent herein or under any of the other Loan Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred, provided that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any document on terms which would reasonably expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrowers, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral in the exercise of remedies, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.
(d)No Obligation for Agent. The Agent shall not have any obligation to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower, that the Collateral is cared for, protected or insured, or that the Liens on the Collateral have been created or perfected or have any particular priority. With respect to the Collateral, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders, and it shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders with respect thereto, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.
-197-


XI.11Actions with Respect to Defaults. In addition to the Agent’s right to take actions on its own accord as permitted under this Agreement, the Agent shall take such action with respect to an Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders. Until Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may act or not act as it deems advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders.
XI.12Delivery of Information. The Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Agent from Borrowers, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

XII.5Amendments, Waivers and Consents.
-205-


(a)Generally. No failure or delay by the Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom ,shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.5(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b)Voting Rights. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless (x) in the case of this Agreement, the same shall be made pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders (or by the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) or (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, the same shall be made pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are party thereto and the Required Lenders (or by the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing:

(A)releases all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees made pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement or any other Loan Document (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents);
(B)releases all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents); or
(C)contractually subordinate the Agent’s Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as provided by operation of applicable law or as expressly provided in the Loan Documents);
(ii)the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the consent of the Required Lenders) shall be required for any amendment, modification, waiver or consent that:
-206-


(A)increases the Commitment of such Lender (it being understood that (1) a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.2 and (2) the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of any Commitment shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

-209-


Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, and not required in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender), assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to one or more other Persons) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents upon execution and delivery to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, of an Assignment and Acceptance, together with surrender of any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee payable to the Agent for its account of $3,500; provided that (i) with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, no consent of the Agent or the Borrower Agent shall be required with respect to any such assignment which is to a Revolving Credit Lender, an Affiliate or branch of a Revolving Credit Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Revolving Credit Lender, (ii) with respect to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, no consent of the Agent or the Borrower Agent shall be required with respect to any such assignment which is to a Delayed Draw Term Lender, an Affiliate or branch of a Delayed Draw Term Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Delayed Draw Term Lender or in accordance with Section 12.7(m), and (iii) with respect to the MRE Term Loan Facilities, no consent of the Agent or the Borrower Agent shall be required with respect to any such assignment which is to an MRE Term Lender, an Affiliate or branch of an MRE Term Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such MRE Term Lender.

Upon the execution and delivery to the Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance and the payment of the recordation fee to the Agent, from and after the date specified as the effective date in the Assignment and Acceptance (the “Acceptance Date”), (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto, and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it under such Assignment and Acceptance, such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it under such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than any rights it may have under Sections 4.10, 4.11 and 12.4, which shall survive such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(c)Agreements of Assignee. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder confirms and agrees as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee and has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the Financial Statements referred to in Section 6.1(i), the

(d)Agent’s Register. The Agent, as non-fiduciary agent shall maintain a register of the names and addresses of the Lenders, their Commitments and the principal amount (and stated interest) of their Loans (the “Register”). The Agent shall also maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and modify the Register to give effect to each Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  It is intended that the Register be maintained such that Loans are in “registered form” for the purposes of the Code.  Upon its receipt of each Assignment and Acceptance and surrender of the affected Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent will give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower Agent.  Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Agent a new Note to the order of the assignee in the amount of the applicable Commitment or Loans assumed by it and to the assignor in the amount of the applicable Commitment or Loans retained by it, if any.  Such new Note or Notes shall re-evidence the indebtedness outstanding under the surrendered Note or Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes and shall be dated as of the Acceptance Date.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Register exclusively for purposes of identifying the Lenders hereunder.
(e)Securitization. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may securitize their Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans to their controlled Affiliates, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody’s, S&P or one or more other rating agencies. The Loan Parties shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect any and all Securitizations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Securitization shall release any Lender party thereto from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any pledgee, secured party or any other party to such Securitization for such Lender as a party hereto and no change in ownership of the Loans may be effected except pursuant to subsection (b) above.
-211-


(f)Lender Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more parties (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding a Lender’s sale of a participation interest, such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged.  The Borrowers, the Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender.  No Lender shall grant any Participant the right to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) increase the Commitment of the Lender from which the Participant purchased its participation interest; (ii) reduce the principal of, or rate or amount of interest on, the Loans or participations in Letters of Credit subject to such participation interest; or (iii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or participations in Letters of Credit subject to such participation interest.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10, 4.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.11(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.11(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) and 12.4 as if it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the last sentence of Section 2.9(b) as if it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of each Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under the Code including Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations (or its successor). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as the Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(g)Securities Laws. Each Lender agrees that it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan, Note or other Obligation under the securities laws of the United States or of any other jurisdiction.

In connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 12.21, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.
(i)Pledge to Federal Reserve Bank. 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
-212-


Obligations of such Lender, including any pledge 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.
(j)Affiliated Lenders. Any Delayed Draw Term Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Delayed Draw Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender (and a Delayed Draw Term Lender), in each case subject to the following limitations:
(i)Affiliated Lenders (A) will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Delayed Draw Term Loans required to be delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Article II or (B) will not make any challenge to the Agent’s or any other Lender’s attorney-client privilege on the basis of its status as a Delayed Draw Term Lender;
(ii)each Affiliated Lender that purchases any Delayed Draw Term Loans will clearly identify itself as an Affiliated Lender in any Assignment and Acceptance executed in connection with such purchases or sales; and
(iii)as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this subsection (j), the Agent and the Borrower Agent shall have been provided a notice in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon the effectiveness of such assignment the assignee would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as such) shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Loans against the Agent, in its capacity as such.
(k)Affiliated Lender Rights. Notwithstanding anything in Section 12.5 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom or, subject to Section 12.7(l), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar arrangement under any other Debtor Relief Laws), (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action, and:
(i)all Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions; and
-213-


(ii)all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to have been voted in the same proportion as non-Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter.
(l)Plan Voting. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, and each Assignment and Acceptance from an Affiliated Lender shall provide a confirmation that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against any Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in the same proportion as non-Affiliated Lenders voting on any matter, unless the Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Agent directs.
XII.8Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement and any waiver or amendment hereto may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including by electronic imaging) all with the same force and effect as if the same was a fully executed and delivered original manual counterpart.
XII.9Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
XII.10Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the parties hereto hereby agree that all agreements between them under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to the Borrowers and evidenced hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the maximum non-usurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the Obligations, under the laws of the State of New York (or the laws of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), or under applicable federal laws which may presently or hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum non-usurious interest rate than under the laws of the State of New York (or such other jurisdiction), in any case after taking into account, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all relevant payments or charges under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith, and any available exemptions, exceptions and exclusions (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents at the time
-214-


performance of such provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or reduced to the extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such circumstance the Agent or any Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of any other then outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other then outstanding Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrowers. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations and other Indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Agent and the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness, until Payment in Full thereof, so that the actual rate of interest on account of all such Indebtedness does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate throughout the entire term of such Indebtedness. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other agreements among the parties hereto.
XII.11Borrower Agent; Borrowers, Jointly and Severally.

The joint and several liabilities of the Borrowers hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been Paid in Full.
(f)Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the amount of the Obligations for which each Borrower is jointly and severally liable hereunder shall be the aggregate amount of the Obligations unless a court of competent jurisdiction adjudicates such Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement (or the amount thereof) to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state, provincial or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), in which case the amount of the Obligations payable by such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount of the Obligations that could be incurred by such Borrower without rendering such Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement invalid or unenforceable under such applicable law.

NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TEAM, INC. ANNOUNCES AMENDMENT AND MATURITY EXTENSION OF ITS ABL CREDIT FACILITY
Amendment Provides Additional Liquidity and Improved Pricing

SUGAR LAND, TX – September 30, 2024 – Team, Inc. (NYSE: TISI) (“TEAM” or the “Company”), a global, leading provider of specialty industrial services offering clients access to a full suite of conventional, specialized, and proprietary mechanical, heat-treating, and inspection services, announced today that it has executed an amendment to its existing ABL credit facility, which consists of a $130 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and a $27.4 million term loan secured by certain real estate and machinery and equipment of the Company (together with the Revolver, the “Eclipse Loans”) provided by Eclipse Business Capital LLC ( “Eclipse”), and a $35 million delayed draw term loan (the “DDTL”) provided by funds managed by J.F. Lehman & Company (“JFL”) and Corre Partners Management, LLC (“Corre”).

Among other things, the amendment extends the maturity date of the Eclipse Loans and the DDTL from August 11, 2025, to September 30, 2027, and lowers the interest rate spread adjustment. Additionally, the terms of the Revolver were amended to provide expanded availability based upon the Company’s improving financial and operating performance by, among other things, increasing the borrowing base advance rate and providing for a $7.5 million minimum availability covenant under the Revolver being tested only if the fixed charge coverage ratio is not satisfied.

“We are pleased to have successfully amended our ABL credit facility on improved terms and extended its maturity,” said Keith D. Tucker, TEAM’s Chief Executive Officer. “This transaction strengthens our balance sheet and available borrowing capacity and would not have been possible without the hard work of our employees and the tangible progress made over the last two years in our ongoing program to improve operating and financial performance. As we continue to drive topline and EBITDA improvement, we are also focused on identifying opportunities to further improve our capital structure and view this ABL renewal as a successful first step. I would like to thank Eclipse, JFL and Corre for their continued support and confidence in the Company.”
