If Borrower fails to specify a Type of Portion in a Borrowing Request or if Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Portions shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Portions. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Portions shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBOR Portions. If Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of a LIBOR Portion in any such Borrowing Request, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any borrowing procedures set forth in this Article 2 conflict with the terms and provisions of a Sweep Agreement in effect, the terms and provisions of such Sweep Agreement shall control.

(d)Funding. Following receipt of a Borrowing Request, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Portions, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Portions as described in Section 2.1(c). Each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Request. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.1), Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to Borrower in like funds as received by Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Texas Capital Bank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Administrative Agent by Borrower.

(e)Continuations and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBOR Portion may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Portion. During the existence of a Default, (i) no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as LIBOR Portions without the consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Portion shall be converted to a Base Rate Portion at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(f)Notifications. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBOR Portions upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Portions are outstanding, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders of any change in Texas Capital Bank’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 32

(g)Interest Periods. After giving effect to all Credit Extensions, all conversions of Portions from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Portions as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect with respect to LIBOR Portions.

Section 2.2Swing Line Loans.

(a)The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.2, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date for the Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that (x) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Credit Lenders shall not exceed the lesser of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrowing Base, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Credit Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (z) Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be in its sole discretion) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.2, prepay under Section 2.7(b), and reborrow under this Section 2.2. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest as a Base Rate Portion. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b)Borrowing Procedures. Unless Borrower and Administrative Agent have entered into a Sweep Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans, each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Any telephonic request for a Swing Line Loan by Borrower shall be promptly confirmed by submission of a properly completed Swing Line Loan Request, signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower, to Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent, but failure to deliver a Swing Line Loan Request shall not be a defense to payment of any Swing Line Borrowing. Neither Swing Line Lender nor Administrative Agent shall have any liability to Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by Borrower as a result of Swing Line Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically, by facsimile or

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 33

electronically and purporting to have been sent to Swing Line Lender or Administrative Agent by Borrower and neither Swing Line Lender nor Administrative Agent shall have any duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the identity or authority of the Person sending it. Promptly after receipt by Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Request, Swing Line Lender will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Request and, if not, Swing Line Lender will notify Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.2(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article 5 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Request, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Borrower at its office by crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(c)Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i)Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Borrowing Request for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.1, subject to the unutilized portion of the Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2. Swing Line Lender shall furnish Borrower with a copy of the applicable Revolving Credit Borrowing Request promptly after delivering such notice to Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Revolving Credit Borrowing Request available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of Swing Line Lender at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Revolving Credit Borrowing Request, whereupon, subject to Section 2.2(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan to Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to Swing Line Lender.

(ii)If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.2(c)(i), the request for Revolving Credit Loans submitted by Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by Swing Line Lender that each Revolving Credit Lender fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 34

(iii)If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(c) by the time specified in Section 2.2(c)(i), Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d)Repayment of Participations.

(i)At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by Swing Line Lender.

(ii)If any payment received by Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 12.24 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of Swing Line Lender. The obligations of Revolving Credit Lenders

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 35

under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.2 to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of Swing Line Lender.

(f)Payments to Swing Line Lender or Revolving Credit Lenders. Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans to Administrative Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender or Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.

Section 2.3Fees.

(a)Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent and Arranger, for the account of Administrative Agent, Arranger and each Lender, as applicable, fees, in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b)Commitment Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance, subject to Section 12.22, with its Applicable Percentage a commitment fee on the daily average unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender for the period from and including the date of this Agreement to and including the Maturity Date (including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article 5 is not met), at a rate equal to 0.50%. For the purpose of calculating the commitment fee hereunder, the Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed utilized by the amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, but not by the amount of any outstanding Swing Line Loans, owing to such Revolving Credit Lender whether directly or by participation. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each April, July, October, and January during the term of this Agreement and on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.4Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a)General. All payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made to Administrative Agent for the account of Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender or the pro rata accounts of the applicable Lenders, as applicable, at the Principal Office in Dollars and immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, and free and clear of all taxes at the time and in the manner provided herein. Payments by check or draft shall not constitute payment in immediately available funds until the required amount is actually received by Administrative Agent in full. Payments in immediately available funds received by Administrative Agent in the place designated for payment on a Business Day prior to 12:00 noon at such place of payment shall be credited prior to the close of business on the Business Day received, while payments received by Administrative Agent on a day other than a Business Day or after 12:00 noon on a Business Day shall not be credited until the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment of principal or interest on the Notes shall become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 36

the next succeeding Business Day. Any such extension of time for payment shall be included in computing interest which has accrued and shall be payable in connection with such payment. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized upon notice to Borrower to charge the account of Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder. To the extent that any Loan payment procedures set forth in this Article 2 conflict with the terms and provisions of any Sweep Agreement then in effect, the terms and provisions of such Sweep Agreement shall control.

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

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

Section 2.5Evidence of Debt.

(a)The Loans made by Swing Line Lender and each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by Swing Line Lender or such Lender and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business; provided that such Lender or Administrative Agent may,

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 37

in addition, request that such Loans be evidenced by the Notes. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by Swing Line Lender, or any Lender and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(b)In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a) above, each Revolving Credit Lender and Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Credit Lender of participations in Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Credit Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.6Interest; Payment Terms.

(a)Revolving Credit Loans – Payment of Principal and Interest; Revolving Nature. The unpaid principal amount of each Portion of the Revolving Credit Loans shall, subject to the following sentence and Section 2.6(g), bear interest at the applicable Interest Rate. If at any time such rate of interest would exceed the Maximum Rate but for the provisions thereof limiting interest to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction shall not reduce the rate of interest on the Revolving Credit Loans below the Maximum Rate until the aggregate amount of interest accrued on the Revolving Credit Loans equals the aggregate amount of interest which would have accrued on the Revolving Credit Loans if the interest rate had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. All accrued but unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be payable on each Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, provided that interest accruing at the Default Interest Rate pursuant to Section 2.6(g) shall be payable on demand. The then Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. The unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans at any time shall be the total amount advanced hereunder by Revolving Credit Lenders less the amount of principal payments made thereon by or for Borrower, which balance may be endorsed on the Revolving Credit Notes from time to time by Revolving Credit Lenders or otherwise noted in Revolving Credit Lenders’ and/or Administrative Agent’s records, which notations shall be, absent manifest error, conclusive evidence of the amounts owing hereunder from time to time.

(b)Term Loan – Payment of Principal and Interest. The unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans shall, subject to the following sentence, bear interest at the applicable Interest Rate. If at any time such rate of interest would exceed the Maximum Rate but for the provisions thereof limiting interest to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction shall not reduce the rate of interest on the Term Loans below the Maximum Rate until the aggregate amount of interest accrued on the Term Loans equals the aggregate amount of interest which would have accrued on the Term Loans if the interest rate had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. All accrued but unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Term Loans shall be payable on each Payment Date

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 38

and on the Maturity Date, provided that interest accruing at the Default Interest Rate pursuant to Section 2.6(g) shall be payable on demand. To the extent not otherwise required to be paid earlier as provided herein, the Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal amount outstanding on the following dates in the amounts determined by multiplying the original principal amount of the Term Loans by the percentage set forth opposite such dates (which amounts may be reduced as a result of application of prepayments of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.7(d)):

Date	Amount

April 3, 2022	The remaining aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding on such date

(c)Application. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, all payments on the Obligations under the Loan Documents shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) the payment or reimbursement of any expenses, costs or obligations (other than the Outstanding Amount thereof and interest thereon) for which Borrower shall be obligated or Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, or any Lender shall be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents; (ii) the payment of accrued but unpaid interest thereon; and (iii) the payment of all or any portion of the principal balance thereof then outstanding hereunder as directed

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 39

by Borrower; provided that any prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to installments due thereon in the inverse order of maturity. If an Event of Default exists under this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents, any such payment shall be applied as provided in Section 10.3 below.

(d)Computation Period. Interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be. In computing the number of days during which interest accrues, the day on which funds are initially advanced shall be included regardless of the time of day such advance is made, and the day on which funds are repaid shall be included unless repayment is credited prior to the close of business on the Business Day received. Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(e)Unconditional Payment. Borrower is and shall be obligated to pay all principal, interest and any and all other amounts which become payable under any of the Loan Documents absolutely and unconditionally and without any abatement, postponement, diminution or deduction whatsoever and without any reduction for counterclaim or setoff whatsoever. If at any time any payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under any Debtor Relief Law, then the obligation to make such payment shall survive any cancellation or satisfaction of the Obligations under the Loan Documents and shall not be discharged or satisfied with any prior payment thereof or cancellation of such Obligations, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and such payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.

(f)Partial or Incomplete Payments. Remittances in payment of any part of the Obligations under the Loan Documents other than in the required amount in immediately available funds at the place where such Obligations are payable shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Administrative Agent in full in accordance herewith and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Administrative Agent of any payment in an amount less than the full amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default.

(g)Default Interest Rate. For so long as any Event of Default exists, regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the Loans, and at all times after the maturity of the Loans (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and in addition to all other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder, (i) interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Amount of the Loans at the Default Interest Rate and (ii) interest shall accrue on any past due amount (other than the outstanding principal balance) at the Default Interest Rate, and such accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable. Borrower acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ actual damages resulting from any

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 40

late payment or Event of Default, and such accrued interest are reasonable estimates of those damages and do not constitute a penalty.

Section 2.7Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments; Prepayments.

(a)Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. Borrower may, upon written notice to Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Credit Lenders would exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders and (ii) the Borrowing Base. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Revolving Credit Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(b)Voluntary Prepayments. Subject to the conditions set forth below and except as set forth in any Sweep Agreement, Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, to prepay the principal of the Term Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans or the Swing Line Loans in full or in part. If there is a prepayment of all or any portion of the principal of the Term Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans or the Swing Line Loans on or before the Maturity Date, whether voluntary or because of acceleration or otherwise, such prepayment shall also include any and all accrued but unpaid interest on the amount of principal being so prepaid through and including the date of prepayment, plus any other sums which have become due to Lenders under the other Loan Documents on or before the date of prepayment, but which have not been fully paid.

(c)Mandatory Prepayment of Revolving Credit Facility. If at any time the Revolving Credit Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders exceeds the Borrowing Base then in effect, then Borrower shall immediately prepay the entire amount of such excess to Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of Revolving Credit Lenders. Each prepayment required by this Section 2.7(c) shall be applied, first, to any Base Rate Portions then outstanding, and, second, to any LIBOR Portions then outstanding, and if more than one LIBOR Portion is then outstanding, to such LIBOR Portions in such order as Borrower may direct, or if Borrower fails to so direct, as Administrative Agent shall elect.

(d)Mandatory Prepayment of Loans.

(i)Concurrently with the receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition pursuant to Section 8.7(e), Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 41

equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (or if appropriate, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds that remain after deducting any amount reinvested by Borrower and its Subsidiaries during the one hundred eighty (180)-day period described in Section 8.7(e).

(ii)Concurrently with the issuance by any Obligated Party of any Equity Issuance (other than to another Obligated Party or in connection with an Acquisition permitted hereunder), Borrower shall, unless otherwise waived with the prior written consent of Required Lenders, prepay the Loans in the amount equal to 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof.

(iii)Concurrently with the receipt by any Obligated Party of Net Cash Proceeds from a Casualty Event, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof other than Net Cash Proceeds that are used within 90 days of such Casualty Event to repair or replace the equipment, fixed assets or real property in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were received.

(iv)Each prepayment of the Loans under clauses (i) – (iii) above shall be applied as follows: first, to reduce in inverse order of maturity the remaining scheduled principal installments of the Term Loans; second, to the extent of any excess, to repay Swing Line Loans until paid in full; and third, to the extent of any excess, to repay any Revolving Credit Loans until paid in full.

Section 2.8Uncommitted Increase in Commitments.

(a)Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility or an increase to the Term Facility by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $20,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, and (ii) Borrower may make a maximum of two such requests. At the time of sending such notice, Borrower (in consultation with Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

(b)Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its applicable Commitment.

(c)Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and its counsel.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 42

(d)Effective Date and Allocations. If the Commitment of any Lender is increased in accordance with this Section, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. If such increase in Commitments results in an increase in the Term Loan Commitments of Term Lenders, the amount of the installments due on the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.6(b) shall be increased by Administrative Agent (but without the consent of any Lender) on a pro rata basis to reflect such increase.

(e)Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of each Obligated Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Obligated Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Obligated Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) in the case of Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article 6 and the other Loan Documents (i) that contain a materiality qualification, are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date and (ii) that do not contain a materiality qualification, are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, and, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (or in the case of such representations and warranties that are subject to a materiality qualification, in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.8, the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.2 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 7.1, and (B) no Default exists. Borrower shall prepay any Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any non-ratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

(f)Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 12.23 or 12.10 to the contrary.

ARTICLE 3TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND INDEMNITY

Section 3.1Increased Costs.

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

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

(ii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments,

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 43

or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender (or such other Recipient of participating in Swing Line Loans) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital or Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’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 capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Swing Line Loans held by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 3.1(a) or (b) and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.1 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) -month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.2Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law or regulation has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 44

Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to LIBOR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Portions or to convert Base Rate Portions to LIBOR Portions shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Portions the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Portions of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Portions of such Lender to Base Rate Portions (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Portions to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Portions and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon LIBOR, Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBOR component thereof until Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 3.3Inability to Determine Rates. If (a) Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBOR Portion or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Portion, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Portion or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Portion, or (iii) LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Portion does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such LIBOR Portion, or (b) by reason of any Change in Law any Lender would become subject to restrictions on the amount of a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold and notifies Administrative Agent of same, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Portions shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Portions or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Portions in the amount specified therein.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 45

Section 3.4Taxes.

(a)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)Payment Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower 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 Borrower 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 3.4) 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 Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.4) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than expenses attributable to the failure or delay by such Recipient to make such written demand to Borrower within nine (9) months of becoming aware that such Indemnified Taxes under this Section 3.4 have been levied, imposed or asserted against it), whether or not such Indemnified 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 Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.8 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 46

Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 3.4(e).

(f)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.4, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(g)Status of Lenders.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative 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 (2) sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.4(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in such 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 Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 47

payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W‑8BEN (or W‑8BEN-E, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W‑8BEN (or W-8BEN-E, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E, as applicable); or

(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 48

contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.4), 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 3.4 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 3.4(h) (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 3.4(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.4(h) 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 Section 3.4(h) 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.

(i)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative 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.

Section 3.5Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 49

(a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Portion on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b)any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to lend a LIBOR Portion) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any LIBOR Portion on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; or

(c)any assignment of a LIBOR Portion on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.6(b);

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.5, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Portion made by it at Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Portion was in fact so funded.

Section 3.6Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1, or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.4, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.4, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1, or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.4 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.6(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.8), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.4) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 50

obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i)Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.8;

(ii)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Outstanding Amount of its Loans, and accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.5) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.4, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

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

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

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

Section 3.7Survival. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Article 3 shall survive termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE 4SECURITY

Section 4.1Collateral. To secure full and complete payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower shall, and shall cause the other Obligated Parties to, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all of the Security Documents required by Administrative Agent covering the Collateral. Borrower shall execute and cause to be executed such further documents and instruments, including without limitation, UCC financing statements, as Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to create, evidence, preserve, and perfect its liens and security interests in the Collateral and maintain the priority thereof as required by the Loan Documents.

Section 4.2Setoff. If an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have the right to set off against the Obligations under the Loan Documents, at any time and without notice to Borrower, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) or other sums at any time credited by or owing from Administrative Agent or such Lender

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 51

to Borrower whether or not the Obligations under the Loan Documents are then due; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff: (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Secured Parties; and (b) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations under the Loan Documents owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each amount set off shall be paid to Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents in the order set forth in Section 10.3. As further security for the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Secured Parties a security interest in all money, instruments, and other Property of Borrower now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent or such Lender, including, without limitation, Property held in safekeeping. In addition to Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s right of setoff and as further security for the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Secured Parties a security interest in all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and other accounts of Borrower now or hereafter on deposit with or held by Administrative Agent or such Lender and all other sums at any time credited by or owing from Administrative Agent or such Lender to Borrower. The rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and each Lender hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.

Section 4.3Authorization to File Financing Statements.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 77

performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and including the date of such expenditure to but excluding the date such expenditure is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Administrative Agent shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any covenant, agreement, or other obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

ARTICLE 11AGENCY

Section 11.1Appointment and Authority.

(a)Each of the Lenders and Swing Line Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Texas Capital Bank to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 11 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Swing Line Lender, and neither Borrower nor any other Obligated Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b)Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including for itself and its Affiliates in their capacities as potential Bank Product Providers) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Obligated Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.5 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 11 and Article 12 (including Section 12.1(b), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 11.2Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 78

or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.

Section 11.3Exculpatory Provisions.

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

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

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

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

(iv)shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

(b)Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.2 and 11.9), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. SUCH LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIABILITY ARISES FROM THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to Administrative Agent in writing by Borrower, a Lender or Swing Line Lender.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 79

(c)Neither Administrative Agent nor any Related Party thereof shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

Section 11.4Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Credit Extension, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or Swing Line Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Swing Line Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 11.5Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 11 shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of this facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

Section 11.6Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a)Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to Lenders, Swing Line Lender and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in Dallas, Texas, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in Dallas, Texas. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 80

after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of Lenders and Swing Line Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. After the Resignation Effective Date, the provisions of this Article 11 relating to or indemnifying or releasing Administrative Agent shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity, fee or expense payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, directly, until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 11, Section 12.1, and Section 12.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(d)Any resignation by Texas Capital Bank as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Swing Line Lender. If Texas Capital Bank resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 81

resignation, including the right to require Revolving Credit Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(c). Upon the appointment by Borrower of a successor Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender and (b) the retiring Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.7Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and Swing Line Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Administrative Agent nor any other Lender nor any Related Party thereto has made any representation or warranty to such Person and that no act by Administrative Agent or any other Lender hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other Lender. Each Lender and Swing Line Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders or Swing Line Lender by Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or Swing Line Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), or creditworthiness of Borrower or the value of the Collateral or other Properties of Borrower or any other Person which may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 11.8Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Obligated Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations under the Loan Documents that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders, Swing Line Lender, and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders, Swing Line Lender, and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders, Swing Line Lender, and Administrative Agent under Section 12.1 or Section 12.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 82

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Swing Line Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Section 12.1 or Section 12.2.

Section 11.9Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a)The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(i)to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (x) upon termination of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Bank Product Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Bank Product Provider shall have been made), (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (z) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, under Section 12.10;

(ii)to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.2; and

(iii)to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 11.9.

(b)Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Obligated Party in connection therewith, nor shall Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 11.10Bank Product Agreements. No Bank Product Provider who obtains the benefits of Section 10.3, any Guaranty Agreements or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 83

hereof or of any Guaranty Agreement or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) (or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty or any Security Document) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 11 to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Bank Product Obligations unless Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Bank Product Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Bank Product Provider. Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Bank Product Obligations arising under Bank Product Agreements upon termination of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations).

ARTICLE 12MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1Expenses.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PAYMENTS MAY BE IN RESPECT OF LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE, CONTRIBUTORY, COMPARATIVE, CONCURRENT OR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE PERSON (OR THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PERSON) TO WHOM SUCH PAYMENTS ARE TO BE MADE.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 85

DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE, CONTRIBUTORY, COMPARATIVE, CONCURRENT OR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON (OR THE REPRESENTATIVES OF SUCH PERSON). Any amount to be paid under this Section 12.2 shall be a demand obligation owing by Borrower and if not paid within ten (10) days of demand shall bear interest, to the extent not prohibited by and not in violation of applicable Law, from the date of expenditure until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Interest Rate. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 12.2 shall survive payment of the Revolving Credit Notes and other obligations hereunder and the assignment of any right hereunder.

Section 12.3Limitation of Liability. None of Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, or any Lender, or any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of any of the foregoing, shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Borrower or any other Obligated Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, or any Lender, or any Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents of any of the foregoing for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Administrative Agent, any Lender or Swing Line Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Administrative Agent or such Lender or Swing Line Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to Borrower or any of Borrower’s equity holders, Affiliates, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, or any other Person.

Section 12.5Lenders Not Fiduciary. The relationship between Borrower and Administrative Agent, Arranger and each Lender and Swing Line Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and none of Administrative Agent, Arranger, any Lender or Swing Line Lender has any fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and Administrative Agent, Arranger and each Lender and Swing Line Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

Section 12.6Equitable Relief. Borrower recognizes that in the event Borrower fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the Obligations, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Administrative Agent or Lenders or Swing Line Lender. Borrower therefore agrees that Administrative Agent, any Lender or Swing Line Lender, if Administrative Agent or such Lender or Swing Line Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 86

Section 12.7No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Administrative Agent, any Lender or Swing Line Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Obligated Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.2 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Swing Line Lender) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 4.2 (subject to the terms of Section 12.23), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Obligated Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.2 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 12.23, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Section 12.8Successors and Assigns.

The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 88

assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) Borrower, or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any other Obligated Party or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing persons described in this clause (B).

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

(vii)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to such assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by such Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to: (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.8(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.1 and Section 12.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any party hereunder arising from that Lenders’ having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.8(d). Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.8(b), if requested by the transferor or

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 89

transferee Lender, the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Revolving Credit Notes are issued to such transferor Lender (if applicable) and new Revolving Credit Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Revolving Credit Notes, are issued to the assignee.

(c)Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Dallas, Texas a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to a Participant in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.1(b) without regard to the existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 12.10 which requires the consent of all Lenders and affects such Participant. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.5 and 3.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.4(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.4(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.1 or 3.4, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.6 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.2 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to pay to Administrative Agent any amount set-off for application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents as required pursuant to Section 4.2; provided, further that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.23 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 90

sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a Participant Register; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (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) 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 Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f)Dissemination of Information. Borrower and each other Obligated Party authorizes Administrative Agent and each Lender to disclose to any actual or prospective purchaser, assignee or other recipient of a Lender’s Commitment, any and all information in Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s possession concerning Borrower, the other Obligated Parties and their respective Affiliates.

Section 12.9Survival. All representations and warranties made in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in connection with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no investigation by Administrative Agent or any Lender or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to rely upon them. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of Borrower hereunder, the obligations of Borrower under Sections 12.1 and 12.2 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments.

Section 12.10Amendment. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party may be amended or waived only by an instrument in writing signed by Required Lenders (or by Administrative Agent with the consent of Required Lenders) and Borrower and acknowledged by Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall:

(a)waive any condition set forth in Section 5.1 (other than Section 5.1(p)), without the written consent of each Lender;

(b)extend or increase any Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 10.2) without the written consent of such Lender;

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 91

(c)postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment (excluding mandatory prepayment) of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(d)reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of Required Lenders shall be necessary to adjust the Default Interest Rate or to waive any obligation of Borrower to pay interest at such rate;

(e)change any provision of this Section 12.10 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Revolving Credit Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Revolving Credit Lender, in the case of a change in the definition of Required Revolving Credit Lenders);

(f)change Section 10.3 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender; or

(g)release any material Guaranty or all or substantially all of the Collateral (in each case, except as provided herein) without the written consent of each Lender;

and, provided,further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent in addition to Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, only the prior written consent of Administrative Agent is required to amend or modify Schedule 1.1.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment(s) of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender; and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that Administrative Agent, any Lender or Swing Line Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)Waiver of Venue. Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 95

OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.18.

Section 12.19Additional Interest Provision. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the indebtedness evidenced by any Note, any Loan Document, and the Related Indebtedness (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits any Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under applicable law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (a) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to any Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and any Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (b) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by reason of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, or (c) Borrower will have paid or Administrative Agent or any Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s, Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Rate theretofore collected by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (or, if any Note and all Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of any Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if any Note or Related Indebtedness has been paid in full before the end of the stated term thereof, then Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, shall, with reasonable promptness after Administrative Agent or such Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against such Note and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Administrative Agent or such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Administrative Agent or such Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Administrative Agent or any Lender, advising Administrative Agent or such Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Note to which the alleged violation relates and/or the Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Administrative Agent or such Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Administrative Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 96

shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of such Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to such Note and/or the Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Notes and/or any of the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Administrative Agent or any Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

Section 12.20Ceiling Election. To the extent that any Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Rate payable on any Note and/or any other portion of the Obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303. To the extent United States federal law permits any Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, such Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, any Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

Section 12.21USA Patriot Act Notice. Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and each other Obligated Party, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and each other Obligated Party and other information that will allow Administrative Agent and such Lender to identify Borrower and each other Obligated Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, Borrower agrees to (a) ensure that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the OFAC, the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Order, (b) not to use or permit the use of proceeds of the Obligations to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of the OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, and (c) comply, or cause its Subsidiaries to comply, with the applicable Laws.

Section 12.22Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and in Section 12.10.

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 97

(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 10 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, with respect to a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, with respect to a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Credit Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fourth, with respect to a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to Lenders or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans are held by Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 12.22(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.3(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(iv)Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 98

Administrative Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 12.27, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

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

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative 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, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 12.22(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 12.23Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it or other obligations hereunder, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall:

(a)notify Administrative Agent of such fact; and

(b)purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

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

CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 99

(ii)the provisions of this Section 12.23 shall not be construed to apply to: (A) any payment made by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender); or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 12.23 shall apply).

Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 12.24Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.25Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or any Governmental Authority, quasi-Governmental Authority or legislative committee, (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to its being under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than this Section 12.25, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any Hedge Agreement relating to Borrower and its obligations, (iii) any actual or prospective purchaser of a Lender or its holding company, (iv) any rating agency or any similar organization in connection with the rating of

For purposes of this Section 12.25, “Information” means all information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses which is clearly identified as confidential, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or a Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.25 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 12.26Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Administrative 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-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.

Section 12.27Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 12.28Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement; Closing Date Assignments.

GUARANTY

GUARANTY (this agreement, together with all amendments and restatements hereto and all Guaranty Supplements, this “Guaranty”), dated as of _____, 2017, made by each of the parties listed on the signature pages hereof and each other Person that may from time to time become a party to this Guaranty pursuant to Section 24 (collectively, the “Additional Guarantors,” and each, an “Additional Guarantor,” and together with each of the signatories party hereto, collectively the “Guarantors,” and each, a “Guarantor”), in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Guaranteed Parties.

BACKGROUND.

Texas Capital Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), and BG Staffing, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), have entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of ______, 2017 (such agreement, together with all amendments, modifications, supplements, and restatements thereto, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Borrower and each of the Guarantors are members of the same consolidated group of companies and are engaged in operations that require financing on a basis in which credit can be made available from time to time to the Borrower, and the Guarantors will derive direct and indirect economic benefit from the Loans under the Credit Agreement and the financial accommodations under Bank Product Agreements.

It is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans under the Credit Agreement and to extend other financial accommodations under the Loan Documents, and of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates to provide financial accommodations pursuant to any Bank Product Agreement, that Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.

Each Lender, the Administrative Agent, each Bank Product Provider that is owed any Bank Product Obligation, the Administrative Agent, and each beneficiary of each indemnification obligation undertaken by any Obligated Party under any Loan Document are herein referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Parties.”

AGREEMENT.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration and to induce the Guaranteed Parties to (a) make Loans under the Credit Agreement and extend other credit and financial accommodations under the Loan Documents, and (b) make financial accommodations under Bank Product Agreements, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1.    Guaranty. Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantee the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of, and the performance of, the Obligations (herein, the “Guaranteed

EXHIBIT D – Guaranty – 1

Obligations”); provided that “Guaranteed Obligations” shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations. Upon failure of the Borrower to pay or perform any of the Guaranteed Obligations when due after the giving by the Administrative Agent and/or the Guaranteed Parties of any notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period in each case provided for in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any Bank Product Agreements (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree to promptly pay the same to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and perform the same, without any other demand or notice whatsoever, including without limitation, any notice having been given to any Guarantor of either the acceptance by the Guaranteed Parties of this Guaranty or the creation or incurrence of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty is an absolute guaranty of payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and not a guaranty of collection, meaning that it is not necessary for any Guaranteed Party, in order to enforce payment or performance by the Guarantors, first or contemporaneously to accelerate payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, to institute suit or exhaust any rights against any Obligated Party, or to enforce any rights against any Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document or in any Bank Product Agreement to the contrary, in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate or organizations Law, or any Debtor Relief Law or other Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if, as a result of applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers, including Section 548 of Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state Law (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), the obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 1 would otherwise, after giving effect to (a) all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor in respect of intercompany Indebtedness to the Borrower to the extent that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder) and (b) to the value as assets of such Guarantor (as determined under the applicable provisions of such Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights held by such Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable requirements of Law, (ii) Section 10 hereof or (iii) any other contractual obligations providing for an equitable allocation among such Guarantor and other Obligated Parties or Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Borrower of obligations arising under this Guaranty or other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations by such parties, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under this Section 1, then the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Guaranteed Party, or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 2.    Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and the Bank Product Agreements, without set‑off or counterclaim, and regardless of any applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Guaranteed Parties with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

EXHIBIT D – Guaranty – 2

(a)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any provision of any other Loan Document, any Bank Product Agreement, any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing or avoidance or subordination of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(b)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, or any increase in the amount of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of any term of, or any consent to departure from any requirement of, the Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or any Bank Product Agreement;

(c)    any exchange, release or non‑perfection of any Lien on any Collateral for, or any release of any other Obligated Party or amendment or waiver of any term of any other guaranty of, or any consent to departure from any requirement of any other guaranty of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d)    the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Guaranteed Obligations from the Borrower or from any other Obligated Party or any other action to enforce the same or the election of any remedy by any of the Guaranteed Parties;

(e)    any waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by any of the Guaranteed Parties with respect to any provision of any other Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement (except to the extent any written waiver, consent, forbearance or indulgence executed in accordance with the Credit Agreement or Bank Product Agreement, as applicable, expressly modifies or terminates the obligations of such Guarantor);

(f)    the election by any of the Guaranteed Parties in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(g)    any borrowing or grant of a Lien by Borrower or the grant of a Lien by any other Obligated Party, as debtor‑in‑possession, under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(h)    any other circumstance that otherwise constitutes a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Obligated Party other than payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 3.    Waiver.

(a)    Each Guarantor hereby (i) waives (A) promptness, diligence, and, except as otherwise provided herein, notice of acceptance and any and all other notices, including, without limitation, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration, with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty, (B) any requirement that any of the Guaranteed Parties protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest in or other Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person or any Collateral, (C) the filing of any claim with a court in the event of receivership or bankruptcy of the Borrower or any other Person, (D) except as otherwise provided herein, protest or notice with respect to nonpayment of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (E) except as otherwise provided herein, all demands whatsoever (and any requirement that demand be made on the Borrower or any other

EXHIBIT D – Guaranty – 3

Person as a condition precedent to such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder), (F) all rights by which any Guarantor might be entitled to require suit on an accrued right of action in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or require suit against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or Person, whether arising pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, as amended, Section 17.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, as amended, Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, as amended, Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code, as amended, or otherwise, (G) any defense based upon an election of remedies by any Guaranteed Party, or (H) notice of any events or circumstances set forth in clauses (a) through (h) of Section 2; and (ii) covenants and agrees that, except as otherwise agreed by the parties, this Guaranty will not be discharged except by complete and final payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations of such Guarantor contained herein.

(b)    If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies in accordance with the provisions of applicable Law, any of the Guaranteed Parties shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including, without limitation, its right to enter a deficiency judgment against the Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Guarantor hereby consents to such action by such Guaranteed Party and waives any claim based upon such action. Any election of remedies that, by reason of such election, results in the denial or impairment of the right of such Guaranteed Party to seek a deficiency or other judgment against the Borrower or any other Person shall not impair the obligation of such Guarantor to pay and perform the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligation of such Guarantor contained herein.

(c)    In the event any of the Guaranteed Parties shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by Law or under any of the Loan Documents or Bank Product Agreements, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, such Guaranteed Party may bid all or less than the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations and the amount of such bid, if successful, need not be paid by such Guaranteed Party but shall be credited against the Guaranteed Obligations.

(d)    Each Guarantor agrees that notwithstanding the foregoing and without limiting the generality of the foregoing and if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the Guaranteed Parties are prevented by applicable Law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, to collect interest on the Guaranteed Obligations, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, or any Guaranteed Party is prevented from taking any action to realize on any Collateral, such Guarantor agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Guaranteed Parties, upon demand therefor, for application to the Guaranteed Obligations, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Guaranteed Parties.

(e)    Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of each other Obligated Party, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment and non‑performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guaranteed Parties shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor or any other Obligated Party of information known to any of the Guaranteed Parties regarding such condition or any such

EXHIBIT D – Guaranty – 4

circumstance. In the event that any of the Guaranteed Parties in its sole discretion undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Guarantor or other Obligated Party, no Guaranteed Party shall be under any obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable banking or commercial finance practices, such Guaranteed Party wishes to maintain as confidential, or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to such Guarantor or other Obligated Party.

(f)    Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Guaranteed Parties shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or any other Obligated Party or otherwise in connection with obtaining payment or performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations from any Person or source.

Section 4.    Representations and Warranties.

(a)    Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Guaranteed Parties that the representations and warranties set forth in Article 6 of the Credit Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor or to the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party are true and correct in all material respects in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement and the Guaranteed Parties shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein.

(b)    All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Guaranteed Parties, regardless of any investigation made by any Guaranteed Party and notwithstanding that the Guaranteed Parties may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Guaranteed Obligations shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

Section 5.    Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Obligated Party, as the case may be and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 6.    Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be effectuated in the manner provided for in Section 12.11 of the Credit Agreement; provided, that if a notice or communication hereunder is sent to a Guarantor, said notice shall be addressed to such Guarantor, in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s then current address (or facsimile number) for notice under the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.    No Waiver; Remedies.

(a)    No failure on the part of any Guaranteed Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any

EXHIBIT D – Guaranty – 5

other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by applicable Law or any of the other Loan Documents or Bank Product Agreements.

(b)    No waiver by the Guaranteed Parties of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or the same default on a future occasion, and no action by any of the Guaranteed Parties permitted hereunder shall in way affect or impair any of the rights of the Guaranteed Parties or the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, under any of the other Loan Documents, or under any Bank Product Agreement, except as specifically set forth in any such waiver. Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of any principal and/or interest or other amount constituting any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be conclusive and binding on each Guarantor irrespective of whether such Guarantor was a party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.

Section 8.    Right of Set‑off. If an Event of Default exists, each of the Guaranteed Parties is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set‑off and apply any and all deposits (general or special (except trust and escrow accounts), time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Guaranteed Party to or for the credit or the account of each Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Guaranteed Party shall have made any demand under this Guaranty and although such obligations may be contingent and unmatured; provided, however, such Guaranteed Party shall promptly notify such Guarantor and the Borrower after such set‑off and the application made by such Guaranteed Party; provided, further, any failure to deliver such notice shall not invalidate any such action. The rights of each Guaranteed Party under this Section 8 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set‑off) such Guaranteed Party may have.

Section 9.    Effectiveness of Guaranty; Transfer of Notes. This Guaranty (a)(i) shall remain in full force and effect until the date upon which all of the Guaranteed Obligations are fully, indefeasibly, absolutely and unconditionally paid and performed, the Commitments are terminated, and all Bank Product Agreements with respect to all Bank Product Obligations have expired, been terminated or secured on terms that are reasonably satisfactory to the parties to such Bank Product Agreement (the “Release Date”) and (ii) is binding upon each Guarantor, its permitted successors and assigns, and (b) inures to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors, permitted transferees, and permitted assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (b), each of the Guaranteed Parties may assign or otherwise transfer any Note held by it or the Guaranteed Obligations owed to it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the rights in respect thereof granted to such Guaranteed Party herein or otherwise with respect to such of the Notes and the Guaranteed Obligations so transferred or assigned. Except as the result of the consummation of a transaction permitted under Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement, no Guarantor may assign any of its obligations under this Guaranty without first obtaining the written consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.    Reimbursement. To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Guarantor from the Loans and Bank Product

EXHIBIT D – Guaranty – 6

Agreements and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by Borrower) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth at the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all Guarantors at the date enforcement is sought hereunder, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worths of such other Guarantors at the date enforcement hereunder is sought. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing its guaranty herein or effecting the rights and remedies of the Guaranteed Parties hereunder. This Section 10 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 10 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay to the Guaranteed Parties the Guaranteed Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 11.    Application of Payments. All amounts and property received by the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Parties pursuant to this Guaranty (including amounts and property received or applied pursuant to Section 8 or application of other rights of set‑off) shall be applied as provided in Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 12.    Reinstatement; Termination. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Obligated Party for liquidation or reorganization, should any Obligated Party become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Obligated Party’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable Law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligees of the Guaranteed Obligations or such part thereof, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Guaranteed Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. Subject to the reinstatement provisions of this Section 12, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Release Date.

Section 13.    Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Submission to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.

(ii)    Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (i), the Borrower and each other Obligated Party may pay to such Guarantor and such Guarantor may request, demand, accept and receive and retain from the Borrower payments, credits or reductions of all or any part of the amounts owing under the Obligated Party Debt or any security therefor on the Obligated Party Debt; provided, that the Borrower’s and other Obligated Party’s right to pay and such Guarantor’s right to receive any such amount shall automatically and be immediately suspended and cease (A) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) if, after taking into account the effect of such payment, an Event of Default would exist. Such Guarantor’s right to receive amounts under this clause (ii) (including any amounts that theretofore may have been suspended) shall automatically be reinstated at such time as the Event of Default that was the basis of such suspension has been cured or waived (provided that no subsequent Event of Default has occurred) to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and such number of the Lenders as may be required by the Credit Agreement or such earlier date, if any, as the Administrative Agent gives notice to Guarantors of reinstatement by the Administrative Agent, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion.

(iii)    If any Guarantor receives any payment on the Obligated Party Debt in violation of this Guaranty, such Guarantor will hold such payment in trust for the Guaranteed Parties and will promptly deliver such payment to the Administrative Agent; and

(iv)    In the event of the commencement or joinder of any suit, action or proceeding of any type (judicial or otherwise) or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law against Borrower or any other Obligated Party (an “Insolvency Proceeding”) and subject to court orders issued pursuant to the applicable Debtor Relief Law, the Guaranteed Obligations shall first be paid, discharged and performed in full before any payment or performance is made upon the Obligated Party Debt notwithstanding any other provisions that may be made in such Insolvency Proceeding. In the event of any Insolvency Proceeding, each Guarantor will at any time prior to the Release Date (A) file, at the request of any Guaranteed Party, any claim, proof of claim or similar instrument necessary to enforce the Borrower’s or such other Obligated Party’s obligation to pay the Obligated Party Debt, and (B) hold in trust for and pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, any and all monies, obligations, property, stock dividends or other assets received in any such proceeding on account of the Obligated Party Debt in order that the Guaranteed Parties may apply such monies or the cash proceeds of such other assets to the Guaranteed Obligations.

EXHIBIT D – Guaranty – 10

Section 20.    Guarantor Insolvency. Should any Guarantor voluntarily seek, consent to, or acquiesce in the benefits of any Debtor Relief Law or become a party to or be made the subject of any proceeding provided for by any Debtor Relief Law (other than as a creditor or claimant) that could suspend or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any Guaranteed Party granted hereunder, then, the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be, as between such Guarantor and such Guaranteed Party, a fully‑matured, due, and payable and performable obligation of such Guarantor to such Guaranteed Party (without regard to whether there is an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or whether any part of the Guaranteed Obligations is then due and owing by the Borrower to such Guaranteed Party), payable and performable in full by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Guaranteed Party, upon demand, which shall be the estimated amount owing in respect of the contingent claim created hereunder.

Section 21.    Rate Provision. It is not the intention of any Guaranteed Party to make an agreement in violation of the Laws of any applicable jurisdiction relating to usury. Regardless of any provision in this Guaranty, no Guaranteed Party shall ever be entitled to receive, collect or apply, as interest on the Guaranteed Obligations, any amount in excess of the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate. In no event shall any Guarantor be obligated to pay any amount in excess of the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate. If from any circumstance any Guaranteed Party shall ever receive, collect or apply, as interest, any such excess, such amount as would be excessive interest shall be deemed a partial repayment of principal of the Loans and then a payment of principal of any other Guaranteed Obligations. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate, the Guarantors and Guaranteed Parties shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Guaranteed Obligations so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the entire term of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or allocate interest among portions of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however, that if the Guaranteed Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate, the Guaranteed Parties shall refund to the payor the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the total principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations owing, and, in such event, no Guaranteed Party shall be subject to any penalties provided by any Laws for contracting for, charging or receiving interest in excess of the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate. This Section shall control every other provision of all agreements pertaining to the transactions contemplated by or contained in the Loan Documents.

Section 22.    Severability. If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

EXHIBIT D – Guaranty – 11

Section 23.    No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that it is incorporated or formed, and resides in, the United States of America. All payments by each Guarantor hereunder shall be paid in full, without setoff or counterclaim (other than mandatory) or any deduction or withholding whatsoever, including, without limitation, for any and all present and future Taxes other than Excluded Taxes (collectively, “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If a Guarantor must make a payment under this Guaranty, such Guarantor agrees, represents and warrants that it will make the payment from one of its U.S. resident offices to the Administrative Agent or each other Guaranteed Party so that no withholding tax is imposed on the payment. If notwithstanding the foregoing, such Guarantor makes a payment under this Guaranty to which withholding Tax (other than a Non-Excluded Tax) applies, or any Non-Excluded Taxes are at any time imposed on any payments under or in respect of this Guaranty including, but not limited to, payments made pursuant to this Section 23, each Guarantor shall pay all such Non-Excluded Taxes to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable Law such that the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party receives the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made and shall also pay to the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party, on demand, all additional amounts the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party specifies as necessary to preserve the after‑tax yield the Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Party would have received if such Non-Excluded Taxes had not been imposed. Each Guarantor shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party with an original receipt or certified copy issued by the relevant authority evidencing the payment of any such amount required to be deducted or withheld.

Section 24.    Additional Guarantors. Upon the execution and delivery by any other Person of a Guaranty Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), such Person shall become a “Guarantor” hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any Guaranty Supplement shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Guaranty.

Section 25.    Keepwell. Each Obligated Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor (as defined below) at the time this Guaranty or the grant of the security interest under the Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Obligated Party, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Obligated Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligated Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 25 voidable under applicable Fraudulent Transfer Law, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 25 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section 25 to constitute, and this Section 25 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Obligated Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act. As used in this Guaranty, (a) “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means each Obligated

EXHIBIT D – Guaranty – 12

Party with total assets exceeding $10,000,000 or that qualifies at such time as an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act and can cause another Person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time under § 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act and (b) “Specified Obligated Party” means each Obligated Party that is not an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act (determined prior to giving effect to this Section 25).

Section 26.    Amendment and Restatement. Guarantors previously executed and delivered a Guaranty, dated as of August 21, 2015 in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement (such Guaranty, as amended and modified, the "Existing Guaranty"). This Guaranty is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Guaranty. Each Guarantor affirms its obligations pursuant to the Existing Guaranty, and agrees that this Guaranty amends and restates the Existing Guaranty in its entirety. This Guaranty is not intended as, and shall not be construed as, a release or novation of an obligation of any Guarantor pursuant to the Existing Guaranty.

Section 27.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

3.1    Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor represents and warrants to Secured Party and each other Secured Creditor with respect to itself and the Collateral owned by it that:

(a)    Upon the filing of the financing statements in the filing offices listed on Schedule 1, Section (e) and delivery of any certificates evidencing Pledged Equity Interests, this Agreement and the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Agreement in the Collateral create a valid first priority (except for Permitted Liens) security interest (other than such Collateral that would require the execution of a control agreement for such first priority security interest) in favor of Secured Party for the benefit of Secured Creditors in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. All filings and other actions necessary to perfect and protect such security interest and such priority have been duly taken (or will be taken upon each Grantor obtaining rights in Collateral after the date hereof) and, upon the filing of UCC‑1 financing statements for each Grantor, in the form delivered by each Grantor to Secured Party on or prior to the date of this Agreement and in the filing offices listed on Schedule 1, Section (e), and delivery to and continuing possession by Secured Party of all certificates evidencing the Pledged Equity Interests (together with undated stock powers executed in blank), if any, all filings and other actions reasonably necessary to perfect and protect such security interest and such priority have been duly taken (or will be taken upon each Grantor obtaining rights in Collateral after the date hereof); subject, however, with respect to Proceeds, to the provisions of Section 9.315 of the UCC.

(b)    The execution, delivery and performance by each Grantor of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action, and do not and will not (i) contravene the terms of any of such Grantor’s Constituent Documents; (ii) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, or require any payment to be made under (A) any Contractual Obligation to which such Grantor is a party or affecting such Grantor or the properties of such Grantor or any of its

EXHIBIT G – Security Agreement –8

Subsidiaries or (B) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which Debtor or its property is subject; or (C) violate any Law.

(c)    This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document to which each Grantor is a party, when delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered by each such Grantor. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Grantor, enforceable against each such Grantor in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement of remedies to any Debtor Relief Laws and to general equitable principles.

(d)    Each Grantor has good and indefeasible title to all of the Collateral free and clear of any Lien, except for Permitted Liens. No Grantor has granted a security interest or other Lien in or made an assignment of any of the Collateral (except for Permitted Liens). Each Grantor has neither entered into nor is it or of its property subject to any agreement limiting the ability of such Grantor to grant a Lien in any of the Collateral, or the ability of such Grantor to agree to grant or not grant a Lien in any of the Collateral. None of the Collateral is consigned Goods, subject to any agreement of repurchase, or subject to any dispute, defense, or counterclaim. No effective financing statement or other similar effective document used to perfect and preserve a security interest or other Lien under the Laws of any jurisdiction covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed (i) pursuant to this Agreement or other Loan Document, or (ii) relating to Permitted Liens. No Grantor has sold any interest in any of its Accounts, Chattel Paper, promissory notes, or Payment Intangibles, or consigned any of its Goods or been a party to a securitization of any of its property. No control agreement in favor of anyone other than Secured Party exists with respect to any Collateral.

(e)    All of the Pledged Equity Interests have been duly and validly issued, and the Pledged Stock, if any, is fully paid and nonassessable. None of the Pledged Equity Interests were issued in violation of the preemptive rights of any Person or any agreement to which any Grantor or the issuer thereof is a party or the Pledged Equity Interest is subject. All capital contributions required to be made by the terms of each partnership agreement for each partnership any interest in which is a Pledged Partnership Interest have been made. All of the Pledged Equity Interests consisting of certificated securities, if any, have been delivered to Secured Party. Other than Pledged Partnership Interests and Pledged LLC Interests constituting General Intangibles, there are no Pledged Equity Interests other than that represented by certificated securities in the possession of Secured Party. The Pledged Equity Interests include (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower, and (ii) 65% of the issued and outstanding capital stock and other Equity Interests of each Controlled Foreign Corporation. There are no restrictions in any Constituent Document governing any Pledged Equity Interest or any other document related thereto which would limit or restrict (i) the grant of a Lien in the Pledged Equity Interests, (ii) the perfection of such Lien, (iii) the exercise of remedies in respect of such perfected Lien in the Pledged Equity Interests as contemplated by this Agreement or (iv) the admission of any transferee of the Collateral as a shareholder, member, partner or equity holder of the issuer of such Collateral. The Constituent Documents of each issuer which is a partnership or limited liability company do not provide that any interest in such issuer is a security governed by Chapter 8 of the UCC and no equity interest of such issuer is evidenced by a certificate or other instrument. Each Grantor has delivered to Secured Party complete and correct copies of all Constituent Documents for each issuer of Collateral owned by it. Upon the exercise of remedies in respect of Pledged Partnership Interests and Pledged LLC Interests, a transferee or assignee of a partnership interest or membership interest, as the case may be, of such partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, shall become a partner or member, as the case may be, of such partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, entitled to participate in the management thereof and, upon the transfer of the entire interest of such Grantor, such Grantor ceases to be a partner or member, as the case may be.

Each Grantor hereby appoints Secured Party as its attorney‑in‑fact to execute and file any writing for the foregoing purposes.

(k)    The parties acknowledge and agree that rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property are the sole and exclusive property of the respective Grantor, subject to the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement. Other than in connection with any security interest in the Intellectual Property that each Grantor has granted to Secured Party, or any rights and remedies of Secured Party and other Secured Creditors under Laws, Secured Party shall not challenge any Grantor’s ownership of the Intellectual Property. Each Grantor expressly retains all rights, at such times when no Event of Default exists, to license third parties to use the Intellectual Property for any purpose whatsoever not in violation of the Loan Documents and which are not exclusive as to prevent Secured Party from using any of the Intellectual Property.

EXHIBIT G – Security Agreement –17

4.10    Rights to Dividends and Distributions. With respect to any certificates, bonds, or other Instruments or Securities constituting a part of the Collateral, Secured Party shall have authority if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing either to have the same registered in Secured Party’s name or in the name of a nominee, and, with or without such registration, to demand of the issuer thereof, and to receive and receipt for, any and all dividends and distributions (including any stock or similar dividend or distribution) payable in respect thereof, whether they be ordinary or extraordinary. If a Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any interest in or certificate (including, without limitation, any interest in or certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase, or reduction of capital, or issued in connection with any reorganization), or any option or rights arising from or relating to any of the Collateral, whether as an addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for any of the Collateral, or otherwise, such Grantor agrees to accept the same as Secured Party’s agent and to hold the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Party and other Secured Creditors, and to deliver the same promptly to Secured Party in the exact form received, with appropriate undated stock or similar powers, duly executed in blank, to be held by Secured Party, subject to the terms hereof, as Collateral. Unless an Event of Default occurs and is continuing or will result therefrom and subject to the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends distributions not representing a return of capital or liquidating dividend paid or distributed with respect to the Pledged Equity Interest, other than dividends or distributions or interests payable in Equity Interests of the issuer of such Pledged Equity Interest which, if evidenced by certificated securities, shall be delivered to Secured Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, whether or not an Event of Default exists). Secured Party shall be entitled to all dividends and distributions, and to any sums paid upon or in respect of any Collateral, upon the liquidation, dissolution, or reorganization of the issuer thereof which shall be paid to Secured Party to be held by it as additional collateral security for and application to the Secured Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents. All dividends, distributions and Proceeds paid or distributed in respect of the Collateral which are received by a Grantor in violation of this Agreement shall, until paid or delivered to Secured Party, be held by such Grantor in trust as additional Collateral for the Secured Obligations.

EXHIBIT G – Security Agreement –18

4.11    Right of Secured Party to Notify Issuers. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and at such other times as Secured Party is entitled to receive dividends, distributions and other property in respect of or consisting of any Collateral which is or represents a Security or Equity Interest, Secured Party may notify issuers of such Security or Equity Interest to make payments of all dividends and distributions directly to Secured Party and Secured Party may take control of all Proceeds of any Securities and Equity Interests. Until Secured Party elects to exercise such rights, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, each Grantor, as agent of Secured Party, shall collect, segregate and hold in trust all dividends and other amounts paid or distributed with respect to Securities and Equity Interests.

4.12    Insurance. Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, maintain insurance in accordance with the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement. All such policies of insurance shall name Secured Party as loss payee or additional insured, as its interests may appear, and shall provide for at least twenty (20) Business Days’ prior written notice of cancellation (or such lesser time as Secured Party may agree) to Secured Party. Upon reasonable request by Secured Party, each Grantor shall promptly furnish to Secured Party evidence of such insurance in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party. If any Grantor fails to perform or observe any applicable covenants as to insurance, Secured Party may at its option obtain insurance on only Secured Party’s and other Secured Creditors’ interest in the Collateral, any premium thereby paid by Secured Party to become part of the Secured Obligations, bear interest prior to the existence of an Event of Default, at the then applicable Base Rate, and during the existence of an Event of Default, at the Default Rate. If Secured Party maintains such substitute insurance, the premium for such insurance shall be due on demand and payable by such Grantor to Secured Party. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Grantor grants and appoints Secured Party its attorney in fact to endorse any check or draft that may be payable to such Grantor in order to collect any payments in respect of insurance, including any refunds of unearned premiums in connection with any cancellation, adjustment, or termination of any policy of insurance. Secured Party shall provide such Grantor with a copy of each such item endorsed by Secured Party; provided, any failure to provide any such copy shall not impair any right or action of Secured Party or any other Secured Creditor. Any such sums collected by Secured Party shall be credited, except to the extent applied to the purchase by Secured Party of similar insurance, to any amounts then owing on the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

4.13    Transfers and Other Liens. Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, no Grantor shall (a) sell, assign (by operation of Law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral (other than in the ordinary course of business), or (b) create or permit to exist any Lien, option, or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for Permitted Liens.

4.14    Secured Party Appointed Attorney in Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party such Grantor’s attorney in fact (exercisable if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing), with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise to take any action and to execute any instrument which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation (provided, Secured Party shall not have any duty to take any such action or execute any instrument):

(a)    to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to Secured Party pursuant to Section 4.12;

(b)    to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive, and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Collateral;

EXHIBIT G – Security Agreement –19

(c)    to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents, and Chattel Paper, in connection therewith; and

(d)    to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of any Collateral or the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral.

EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY GRANTS TO SECURED PARTY SUCH GRANTOR’S PROXY (EXERCISABLE IF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS AND IS CONTINUING) TO VOTE ANY SECURITIES INCLUDED IN COLLATERAL (INCLUDING ANY PLEDGED EQUITY INTEREST) AND APPOINTS SECURED PARTY SUCH GRANTOR’S ATTORNEY‑IN‑FACT (EXERCISABLE IF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS AND IS CONTINUING) TO PERFORM ALL OBLIGATIONS OF SUCH GRANTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND TO EXERCISE ALL OF SECURED PARTY’S AND EACH OTHER SECURED CREDITOR’S RIGHTS HEREUNDER. THE PROXY AND EACH POWER OF ATTORNEY HEREIN GRANTED, AND EACH STOCK POWER AND SIMILAR POWER NOW OR HEREAFTER GRANTED (INCLUDING ANY EVIDENCED BY A SEPARATE WRITING), ARE COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND ARE IRREVOCABLE PRIOR TO THE RELEASE DATE.

TEXAS FINANCE CODE SECTION 307.052 COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE NOTICE (IF A GRANTOR IS A “DEBTOR” AS DEFINED IN SUCH SECTION): (A) SUCH GRANTOR IS REQUIRED TO: (i) KEEP THE COLLATERAL INSURED AGAINST DAMAGE IN THE AMOUNT SECURED PARTY AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SPECIFY; AND (ii) NAME SECURED PARTY AS THE PERSON TO BE PAID UNDER THE POLICY OR POLICIES IN THE EVENT OF A LOSS; (B) SUCH GRANTOR MUST, IF REQUIRED BY SECURED PARTY OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, DELIVER TO SECURED PARTY A COPY OF EACH POLICY AND PROOF OF THE PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS; AND (C) IF SUCH GRANTOR FAILS TO MEET ANY REQUIREMENT LISTED IN CLAUSES (A) OR (B), SECURED PARTY MAY OBTAIN COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE ON BEHALF OF SUCH GRANTOR AT SUCH GRANTOR’S EXPENSE.

4.15    Dilution of Ownership. As to any Pledged Equity Interests, no Grantor will consent to or approve of the issuance of (a) any additional shares or units of any class of Equity Interests of such issuer that reduce the percentage of Pledged Equity Interests pledged and delivered to Secured Party by such Grantor pursuant to the terms hereof to less than 100% of such issuer’s outstanding securities or other Equity Interests owned by such Grantor, (b) any instrument convertible voluntarily by the holder thereof or automatically upon the occurrence or non‑occurrence of any event or condition into, or exchangeable for, any such securities or other Equity Interests, or (c) any warrants, options, contracts or other commitments entitling any third party to purchase or otherwise acquire any such securities or other Equity Interests.

4.16    Waiver. To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, each Grantor agrees that any provision of any Constituent Document of any issuer of any Collateral, any applicable Law, any certificate or instrument evidencing Collateral or any other governance document that in any manner restricts, prohibits or provides conditions to (a) the grant of a Lien on any interest in such issuer or any other Collateral, (b) any transfer of any interest in such issuer or any other Collateral, (c) any change in management or control of such issuer or any other Collateral, (d) the admission of any transferee of any Collateral as a shareholder, member, partner or other equity holder of the issuer of such Collateral, or (e) any other exercise by Secured Party or any other Secured Creditor of any rights pursuant to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or

EXHIBIT G – Security Agreement –20

Law shall not apply to (i) the grant of any Lien hereunder, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by any Grantor, or (iii) the foreclosure or other realization upon any interest in any Collateral. Furthermore, no Grantor will permit any amendment to or restatement of any Constituent Document or any other governance document or enter into or permit to exist any agreement that in any manner adversely affects Secured Party’s ability to foreclose on any Collateral or which conflicts with the provisions of this Section 4.16 without the prior written consent of Secured Party.

4.17    Restrictions on Securities. No issuer of any Pledged Equity Interests which is either a partnership or limited liability company shall amend or restate its Constituent Documents to provide that any Equity Interest of such issuer is a security governed by Chapter 8 of the UCC or permit any Equity Interest of such issuer to be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument (unless any such certificate is promptly delivered to Secured Party, together with any appropriate endorsements). No certificate or other instrument evidencing or constituting any Pledged Equity Interest shall contain any restriction on transfer or other legend not acceptable to Secured Party. With respect to each certificate that contains any such legend that is not acceptable to Secured Party, each Grantor shall cause the issuer of each such certificate to be reissued in a form acceptable to Secured Party.

4.18    Changes to Representations, Schedules. To the extent any information disclosed on any Schedule to this Agreement changes during any fiscal quarter of any Grantor (other than (i) information on Schedules 10, 11, 13 and 14 and (ii) Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts held with the Secured Party), such Grantor shall deliver to Secured Party an updated Schedule in connection with the delivery of the compliance certificate required by Section 7.1(c) of the Credit Agreement, which updated Schedule shall replace the former Schedule for all purposes of this Agreement (provided, the delivery of an updated Schedule shall not be deemed a waiver of any obligation of any Grantor under any Loan Document). Each Grantor shall promptly notify Secured Party of any change in any representation herein and any information on any Schedule hereto if such change could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Event.

ARTICLE V
RIGHTS AND POWERS OF SECURED PARTY.

5.1    Secured Party May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable and documented expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under Section 5.7. Secured Party shall provide such Grantor with notice of any action by Secured Party pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided, any failure to provide any such notice shall not impair any right or action of Secured Party or any other Secured Creditor.

5.2    Secured Party’s Duties. The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect Secured Party’s and other Secured Creditors’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by Secured Party and other Secured Creditors hereunder, neither Secured Party nor any other Secured Creditor shall have any duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Secured Party or any other Secured Creditor has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property. Except as provided in this Section 5.2, neither Secured Party nor any other Secured Creditor shall

EXHIBIT G – Security Agreement –21

have any duty or liability to protect or preserve any Collateral or to preserve rights pertaining thereto. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring or obligating Secured Party or any other Secured Creditor, and neither Secured Party nor any other Secured Creditor shall be required or obligated, to (a) present or file any claim or notice or take any action, with respect to any Collateral or in connection therewith or (b) notify any Grantor of any decline in the value of any Collateral.

5.3    Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default (each, an “Event of Default”):

(a)    Any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of any Grantor in this Agreement shall be false in any material respect as of the date on which made.

(b)    The breach by any Grantor of any of the terms or provisions of Sections 4.2 or 4.15.

(c)    The breach by any Grantor (other than a breach that constitutes an Event of Default under Section 5.3(a) or (b)) of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement that is not remedied within 30 days after first to occur of (i) the giving of written notice to Borrower by Secured Party, and (ii) any Grantor having knowledge of the existence of such breach.

(d)    The existence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

5.4    Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:

(a)    Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it or any other Secured Creditor pursuant to any applicable Law, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Texas at that time (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may require each Grantor to, and each Grantor will at its expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties at public or private sale, at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law, ten (10) days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party 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.

(b)    All cash proceeds received by Secured Party upon any sale of, collection of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

(c)    All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall be forthwith paid or delivered over to Secured Party in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(d)    Because of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and other Laws, including without limitation state “blue sky” Laws, or contractual restrictions or agreements, there may be legal restrictions or limitations affecting Secured Party in any attempts to dispose of the Collateral and the

EXHIBIT G – Security Agreement –22

enforcement of rights under this Agreement. For these reasons, Secured Party is authorized by each Grantor, but not obligated, if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral at private sale, subject to an investment letter, or in any other manner which will not require the Collateral, or any part thereof, to be registered in accordance with the Securities Act, or any other Law. Secured Party is also hereby authorized by each Grantor, but not obligated, to take such actions, give such notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things as Secured Party may deem required or appropriate under the Securities Act or other securities Laws or other Laws or contractual restrictions or agreements in the event of a sale or disposition of any Collateral. Each Grantor understands that Secured Party may in its discretion approach a restricted number of potential purchasers and that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Collateral than would otherwise be obtainable if same were registered and/or sold in the open market. No sale so made in good faith by Secured Party shall be deemed to be not “commercially reasonable” because so made. Each Grantor agrees that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and Secured Party sells the Collateral or any portion thereof at any private sale or sales, Secured Party shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of appraisers and other Persons, which appraisers and other Persons are acceptable to Secured Party, as to the best price reasonably obtainable upon such a private sale thereof. In the absence of actual fraud or gross negligence, such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Secured Party and the other Secured Creditors handled such matter in a commercially reasonable manner under applicable Law. To the extent required by applicable Law, Secured Party shall provide notice to each Grantor of an action taken by Secured Party pursuant to this Section 5.4(d).

(e)    After notice to each Grantor after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party and such Persons as Secured Party may reasonably designate shall have the right, at each Grantor’s own cost and expense, to verify under reasonable procedures, the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition, and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors or the third person possessing such Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification. Secured Party shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Creditor.

(f)    For purposes of enabling Secured Party to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement, each Grantor grants (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by a license with respect thereto) to Secured Party an irrevocable, non‑exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor or any other Person; provided, that if the license granted to Secured Party is a sublicense, each Grantor shall be solely responsible for, and indemnify Secured Party against, any royalty or other compensation payable to each such Grantor’s licensor or other Person) to (i) use all of each such Grantor’s Software, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded and all related manuals, and (ii) use, license, or sub-license any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software used for the use, compilation, or printout thereof. The use of each such license by Secured Party shall be exercised, at the option of Secured Party, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing; provided, that any license, sub‑license, or other transaction entered into by Secured Party in accordance herewith after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure or waiver of an Event of Default. Secured Party shall endeavor to provide such Grantor with notice of exercise of any rights with respect to such license; provided, any failure to provide any such notice shall not impair any right or action of Secured Party or any other Secured Creditor. In connection with each such license, each Grantor shall execute and deliver a license agreement to Secured Party to evidence the grant of such license.

EXHIBIT G – Security Agreement –23

5.5    Appointment of Receiver or Trustee. In connection with the exercise of Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Secured Party may, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, obtain the appointment of a receiver or trustee to assume, upon receipt of any necessary judicial or other Governmental Authority consents or approvals, control of or ownership of any Collateral. Such receiver or trustee shall have all rights and powers provided to it by Law or by court order or provided to Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Upon the appointment of such trustee or receiver, each Grantor shall cooperate, to the extent necessary or appropriate, in the expeditious preparation, execution, and filing of an application to any Governmental Authority or for consent to the transfer of control or assignment of such Collateral to the receiver or trustee. To the extent required by applicable Law, Secured Party shall provide to each Grantor notice of the request for or appointment of such receiver or trustee.

5.6    Further Approvals Required.

(a)    In connection with the exercise by Secured Party of rights under this Agreement that affects the disposition of or use of any Collateral (including rights relating to the disposition of or operation under any Permit), it may be necessary to obtain the prior consent or approval of Governmental Authorities and other Persons to a transfer or assignment of Collateral. Each Grantor shall execute, deliver, and file, and hereby appoints (to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law) Secured Party as its attorney (exercisable if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing), to execute, deliver, and file on each such Grantor’s behalf and in each such Grantor’s name, all applications, certificates, filings, instruments, and other documents (including without limitation any application for an assignment or transfer of control or ownership) that may be necessary or appropriate, in Secured Party’s reasonable opinion, to obtain such consents or approvals. Each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the foregoing consents, waivers, and approvals, including receipt of consents, waivers, and approvals under applicable agreements regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default exists.

(b)    Each Grantor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at Law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.6 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that this Section 5.6 may be specifically enforced.
