Section 2
AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS

2.1Commitments; Repayment.

(a)Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lenders agree to make a term loan on the Closing Date in the aggregate initial principal amount of $55,000,000 (the “Term Loan”). Once repaid, no portion of the Term Loan may be re-borrowed. Upon the funding on the Closing Date, the Term Loan Commitment shall be immediately terminated and reduced to $0.

(b) Notes. The Advances made by each Lender may, upon request by each Lender, be evidenced by a promissory note payable to the order of Agent, for the benefit of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit D (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Note”), executed by Borrower and delivered to such Lender. Each Note shall be in a stated maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, as applicable.

(c)Mandatory Repayments.

(i)To the extent not previously paid, the then outstanding Term Loan and all other Obligations shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations to be paid to and including the date of payment and any Make Whole Premium and other Obligations.

(ii)Upon receipt by Borrower of the proceeds of any Prepayment Event, Borrower shall make a prepayment of principal of the Term Loan in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Prepayment Event, together with any accrued interest on such amount and any Make Whole Premium payable pursuant to Section 2.1(e) in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the case of any event of the type described in either clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, such prepayment shall not be required to the extent Borrower reinvests the Net Cash Proceeds of such Prepayment Event, in assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of Borrower and in which Agent has a first-priority perfected Lien within ninety (90) days (with respect to clause (a)) and one hundred eighty (180) days (with respect to clause (b)) after the date of such Disposition or enters into a binding commitment thereof within such period and subsequently makes such reinvestment, provided until such date of reinvestment such Net Cash Proceeds are deposited into a Controlled Account over which Agent has a first-priority perfected Lien.

(d)Voluntary Prepayment. With thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, Borrower may at any time voluntarily prepay, in whole or in part, the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loan, provided that (i) all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect to the outstanding Obligations are paid simultaneously with such voluntary principal payment; provided, further, that to the extent such voluntary principal payment occurs on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, such payment shall be accompanied by payment in full in cash of the Make Whole Premium on the amount of the Term Loan repaid and all other earned and unpaid fees.

24

(e) Make Whole Premium. To the extent any payment pursuant to Sections 2.1(c) or 2.1(d) occurs on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, any prepayment made (i) pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(ii) as a result of a Prepayment Event described in clauses (a), (c), (d) or (e) thereof, or Section 2.1(d), shall be accompanied by payment in full in cash of the Make Whole Premium. Any Make Whole Premium payable in accordance with this Agreement shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders as the result of the occurrence of any event triggering the prepayment of such Make Whole Premium and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Make Whole Premium shall survive acceleration of the Obligations and/or the occurrence of any insolvency proceeding, and shall automatically accrue to the principal amount of the Term Loan pro rata and shall constitute part of the Obligations for all purposes herein. If the Term Loan is accelerated for any reason pursuant to the terms herein, the Make Whole Premium shall be calculated as if the date of acceleration of the Term Loan was the date of prepayment of the Term Loan. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING MAKE WHOLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACCELERATION. The Borrower expressly agrees that: (A) the Make Whole Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Make Whole Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Make Whole Premium; (D) Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph; (E) Borrower’s agreement to pay the Make Whole Premium is a material inducement to Lenders to extend the Term Loan; and (F) the Make Whole Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to Lenders or profits lost by Lenders as a result of such event triggering payment of the Make Whole Premium.

2.2Advances.

(a)Procedure for Borrowing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow the Term Loan on the Closing Date; provided, that Borrower shall give Agent a Notice of Borrowing specifying the principal amount of the requested Term Loan to be made, the requested Borrowing Date, and instructions for remittance of the proceeds of the requested Term Loan (which notice must be received by Agent prior to 11:00 am (New York City time) on the Closing Date). The Term Loan shall be in an initial principal amount equal to $55,000,000 on the Closing Date. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 4, Lenders will fund the principal amount of the requested Advance pursuant to the wiring instructions provided in the Notice of Borrowing on the requested Borrowing Date.

(b)Making of the Term Loan.

(i)Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.2(a), Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the requested Advance. Each Lender shall make the amount of its applicable portion of the Term Loan available to Agent in immediately available funds at Agent’s office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the related Borrowing Date. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.1, Agent shall remit, or cause to be remitted, all funds so received as directed by the Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing.

(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 9:30 a.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Borrowing Date relative to a requested Advance as to which Agent has notified the Lenders of a requested Advance that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Advance, Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Borrowing Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If, on the requested Borrowing Date, any Lender shall not have remitted the full amount that it is required to make available to Agent in immediately available funds and if Agent has made available to Borrower such amount on the requested Borrowing Date, then such Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Advance available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s designated account, no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is the first Business Day after the requested Borrowing Date (in which case, the interest accrued on such Lender’s portion of such Advance for the Borrowing Date shall be for Agent’s separate account). If any Lender shall not remit the full amount that it is required to make available to Agent in immediately available funds as and when required hereby and if Agent has made available to Borrower such amount, then that Lender shall be obligated to immediately remit such amount to Agent, together with interest at the Interest Rate for each day until the date on which such amount is so remitted. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.3(b)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If the amount that a Lender is required to remit is made available to Agent, then such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Advance for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Borrowing Date, Agent will notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances composing such Advance.

25

(c)Independent Obligations. All Advances shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Applicable Percentages. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Term Loan Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.

2.3Fees. As compensation for the Term Loan Commitment and Agent’s commitment to perform its obligations hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Agent the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

2.4Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a)Each Term Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate, subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 2.4.

(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding Obligations shall, at the election of the Agent (or automatically upon an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.1(a), (d) or (e)) bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus five percent (5%) and (ii) the maximum rate allowed by applicable Law (the “Default Rate”). The terms of this paragraph shall not be construed as Agent’s consent to Borrower’s failure to pay any amounts in strict accordance with this Agreement, and Agent’s charging any such fees and/or acceptance of any such payments shall not restrict Agent’s exercise of any remedies arising out of any such failure.

(c)Accrued interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that, on or prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, a portion of the interest payable on each Interest Payment Date equal to the applicable PIK Limit may be paid on such Interest Payment Date as PIK Interest if not less than five (5) Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date, Borrower notifies Agent in writing of its intention to pay a portion of such interest in kind on such Interest Payment Date. All PIK Interest shall be compounded on the applicable Interest Payment Date by capitalizing the amount of such PIK Interest and adding the same to the principal balance of the Term Loan, after which such PIK Interest shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate and otherwise constitute principal under the Term Loan for all purposes (including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating interest on the principal amount thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, all accrued and unpaid PIK Interest, together with all other Obligations hereunder, shall be payable by Borrower on the Maturity Date. All interest payable in cash shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.6.

2.5Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed and shall be calculated on the beginning of day principal balance of the Term Loan outstanding for each day of the relevant calendar month. Each determination of an interest rate by Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, Advances shall be included in the daily principal balance on the date they occur.

2.6Payments.

(a)Unless otherwise specified herein or in any other Loan Document, prior to (or simultaneously with) making any principal payment on the Term Loan, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a Payment Notice (which such Payment Notice shall be irrevocable and binding unless Borrower otherwise notifies Agent in writing) with respect thereto.

(b)All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff and shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time), on the due date thereof to Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds. Any payment received by Agent after 2:00 P.M. (New York City time), shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment hereunder (other than the capitalization of accrued PIK Interest) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, other than with respect to the payment to be made on the Maturity Date, which, if not a Business Day, shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

26

(c) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate Agent or any Lender to obtain the funds for the Term Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by Agent or any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for the Term Loan in any particular place or manner.

(d)All payments, prepayments or repayments of the Term Loan shall be accompanied by payment in full of all accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of such Term Loan being paid, prepaid or repaid to the date of payment, prepayment, or repayment, including the Make Whole Premium as applicable, all other earned and unpaid fees, and all other amounts due and owing hereunder, including without limitation all costs associated with such payment, prepayment, or repayment.

(e)Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 7.3, any payment, prepayment or repayment of the Term Loan shall be made by the Loan Parties to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on a pro rata basis based upon each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such payment, prepayment or repayment. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to Agent or any Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied in accordance with the Lenders’ Applicable Percentage or as otherwise determined by Agent in its sole discretion.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Agent or any Lender may, in its discretion at any time or from time to time, without Borrower’s request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 would not be satisfied, make a Term Loan in an amount equal to the portion of the Obligations constituting overdue interest, fees, indemnification payments or any other Obligations from time to time due and payable to itself and apply the proceeds of any such Term Loan to those Obligations.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Agent, in its sole discretion shall have the right, but not any obligation, at any time that Borrower fails to do so, and from time to time, without prior notice, to: (i) discharge (at Borrower’s expense) taxes or Liens affecting any of the Collateral that have not been paid in violation of any Loan Document or that jeopardize the Agent’s Lien priority in the Collateral; or (ii) make any other payment (at Borrower’s expense) reasonably necessary for the administration, servicing, maintenance, preservation or protection of the Collateral (each such advance or payment set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Protective Advance”). The Agent shall be reimbursed for all Protective Advances pursuant to Section 2.4 and any Protective Advances shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the Interest Rate plus ten percent (10%) per annum, and (ii) the maximum rate permitted by Law (the “Protective Advance Rate”), payable in cash, from the date the Protective Advance is paid by Agent until it is repaid. No Protective Advance by Agent shall be construed as a waiver by Agent, or any Lender of any Default, Event of Default or any of the rights or remedies of Agent or any Lender. Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Agent, without any further action on the part of the Agent or any Lender, the Agent will be deemed to have granted to each Lender, and each Lender will be deemed to have acquired from the Agent, without recourse or warranty, a participation in such Protective Advance equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such Protective Advance. Each Lender shall transfer (each such transfer, a “Transfer”) the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Protective Advance with respect to such acquired interest and participation promptly when requested to the Agent, to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, but in any case not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time), on the Business Day requested (if notice is provided by the Agent prior to noon (New York City time) on such Business Day) or otherwise on the immediately following Business Day (each such transfer date, as to the applicable Transfer, a “Transfer Date”). Transfers may occur during the existence of a Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Agent will be applied against the amount of the Protective Advance and, together with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Protective Advance, will constitute Advances of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Agent by any Lender on the applicable Transfer Date, then the Agent may recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Protective Advance in accordance with this Agreement.

If any Requirement of 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 any Requirement of Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. The applicable Recipient and each relevant Loan Party shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the relevant Loan Party to obtain authorization to make payments without any deduction or withholding on account of tax.

(c)Payment of Other Taxes by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with any Requirement of Law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification of Agent and Lenders. Loan Parties shall indemnify any Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand thereof, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.8) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to Agent, as applicable), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Indemnification of Agent. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.6(b) 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 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 Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to Lenders from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this Section 2.8(e).

28

(f)Certification. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.8, the Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the applicable Withholding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by any Requirement of Law or reasonably requested by the applicable Withholding Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than the documentation in Section 2.8(a)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) Any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable Withholding Agent) properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor or other applicable form) certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

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

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

29

(C) any Foreign Recipient shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by a Requirement of 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 Requirement of Law to permit Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(D) If a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the applicable Withholding Agent at the time or times prescribed by Requirement of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent such documentation prescribed by any Requirement of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.8(g)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii)Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Section 2.8(g) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the applicable Withholding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient 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 by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.8 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.8), it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.8 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, shall repay to the Recipient the amount paid over to such Loan Party by such Recipient pursuant to this Section 2.8(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.8(h), in no event will any Recipient be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.8(h), the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Recipient 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 2.8(h) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to a Loan Party or any other Person.

(i)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.8 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

2.9Collections. Each Loan Party shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries (other than its Immaterial Subsidiaries) to:

(a)Make (or direct any payor to make) all Collections to a Deposit Account which is, subject to Section 5.13(b), the subject to a Control Agreement (a “Controlled Account”);

(b)If any Loan Party shall receive any Collections in any manner other than by deposit into the Controlled Account, such Loan Party shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of Agent and deposit such Collections into the Controlled Account within three (3) Business Days following such Loan Party’s receipt thereof; and

(c)Prevent the deposit into any Deposit Account (other than Excluded Deposit Accounts) of any funds other than the funds to be deposited into such Deposit Accounts under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (provided that, this covenant shall not be breached to the extent that funds are inadvertently deposited into any of such Deposit Accounts and are promptly segregated and removed such Deposit Account to the Controlled Account).

(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; or

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

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the portion of the Term Loan made by such Lender or participation therein

(b)Capital 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 Term Loan Commitments of such Lender or the Term Loan made 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), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender or holding company 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 in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.10(a) or (b) and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d)Delays in Request. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 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 or other Person pursuant to this section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or other Person, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Person’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).

2.11Mitigation Obligations.

If any Lender requires the 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 2.8, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loan 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 2.8, 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 agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

7.2Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Agent may take any or all of the following actions:

(a)if such event is an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(d), the Term Loan Commitment shall immediately terminate automatically and the Term Loan (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall automatically immediately become due and payable, without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, with such rights are hereby waived by the Loan Parties; and

(b)if such event is any other Event of Default, Agent may, or at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall: (i) immediately terminate the Term Loan Commitment; (ii) declare the Term Loan (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Obligations and other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable, without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, which such rights are hereby waived by the Loan Parties; and (iii) exercise all rights and remedies available to it hereunder and under any other Loan Document, under the UCC or at Law or in equity (in each case, in compliance with all applicable law), including, without limitation the right to (A) apply any property of any Loan Party held by Agent or any Lender to reduce the Obligations, (B) foreclose the Liens created under the Loan Documents, (C) realize upon, take possession of and/or sell any Collateral, with or without judicial process, (D) exercise all rights and powers with respect to the Collateral as such Loan Party might exercise, (E) collect and send notices regarding the Collateral, with or without judicial process, (F) by its own means or with judicial assistance, enter any premises at which Collateral is located, or render any of the foregoing unusable or dispose of the Collateral on such premises without any liability for rent, storage, utilities, or other sums, and no Loan Party shall, or permit any Subsidiary or Affiliate to, resist or interfere with such action, (G) at the Loan Parties’ expense, require that all or any part of the Collateral be assembled and made available to Agent at any place designated by Agent in its sole discretion, and/or (H) relinquish or abandon any Collateral or securities pledged or any Lien thereon.

Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, at any time that any Loan Party fails to do so, after an Event of Default, without prior notice, to: (A) obtain insurance covering any of the Collateral to the extent required hereunder; (B) pay for the performance of any of the Obligations; (C) discharge Taxes, levies and/or Liens on any of the Collateral that are in violation of any Loan Document; and (D) pay for the maintenance, repair and/or preservation of the Collateral. Such expenses and advances (1) shall be deemed loans hereunder and added to the Obligations until reimbursed to Agent and the Lenders, (2) shall be secured by the Collateral, and (3) at Agent’s discretion, shall be deemed a Protective Advance, and such payments by Agent or any Lender shall not be construed as a waiver by Agent or any Lender of any Event of Default or any other rights or remedies of Agent or any Lender. Each Loan Party agrees that notice received at least ten (10) calendar days before the time of any intended public sale, or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that (A) a private sale may result in a lower price than if such sale were a public sale, and notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that such lower price shall not make such private sale unreasonable, and (B) Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities Laws, even if such registration would result in a higher price than a private sale. If permitted by applicable law, any perishable Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Agent without prior notice to any Loan Party. At any sale or disposition of Collateral or securities pledged, Agent may (to the extent permitted by applicable law) purchase all or any part thereof on behalf of itself and the Lenders free from any right of redemption by any Loan Party which right is hereby waived and released. Each Loan Party covenants and agrees not to, and to cause its Subsidiaries and Agents not to, interfere with or impose any obstacle to Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. In dealing with or disposing of the Collateral or any part thereof, Agent shall not be required to give priority or preference to any item of Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Collateral with judicial process. Presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind with respect to the remedies provided in this Section 7.2 are hereby expressly waived by each Loan Party. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact for the limited purpose of taking any action permitted under the Loan Documents that Agent deems necessary or desirable (in Agent’s sole discretion) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to protect and realize upon Agent’s Lien in the Collateral, including the execution and delivery of any and all documents or instruments related to the Collateral in each Loan Party’s name, and said appointment shall create in Agent a power coupled with an interest. Such power of attorney, and proxy with respect thereto, is irrevocable and coupled with an interest and may not be terminated or revoked until all Obligations are paid in full in cash (other than inchoate indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and all Term Loan Commitments have expired or terminated.

55

7.3Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 7.2, any amounts received by Agent or any Lender on account of the Obligations shall be applied by Agent in the following order:

(a)First, to Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, an amount equal to any interest owed with respect to all Protective Advances until paid in full;

(b) Second, to Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, an amount equal to any principal owed with respect to all Protective Advances until paid in full;

(c)Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, reimbursements under Section 8.5, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, and the Monitoring Fee (as defined in the Fee Letter)) payable to Agent and Lenders (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel required to be paid hereunder) until paid in full;

(d)Fourth, to Agent, any accrued and unpaid Monitoring Fee;

(e)Fifth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest;

(f)Sixth, to payment of any Make Whole Premium, if applicable;

(g)Seventh, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal and all other Obligations; and

(h)Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full (other than inchoate indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), to Borrower or as otherwise required by applicable law.

Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto or thereto, Indemnitees under Section 8.5(b), their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby or thereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby or thereby, Affiliates of each of Agent and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or such other Loan Document. Upon notice to Agent, Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any other Person (other than (w) a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or (x) Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or another Loan Party, (y) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a direct competitor of Borrower as specifically identified in writing by the Borrower to the Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the applicable sale, assignment, or transfer, or (z) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a vulture fund or distressed debt fund), including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment or the Term Loan owing to it or other Obligations; provided, that an assignment pursuant to Section 8.7 shall not require prior notice to Agent. Upon Agent’s receipt and acceptance of a duly executed and completed assignment agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent), any forms, certificates or other evidence required by this Agreement in connection therewith, Agent shall record the information contained in such assignment agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to Borrower and shall maintain a copy of such assignment agreement.

(b)Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment and assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Term Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, 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.

(c)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or another Loan Party) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and/or the Term Loan owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) Borrower, 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 and the other Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 8.5(b) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

61

(d)Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under 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.

(e) Retained Rights Following Sale of Participations. 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 the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.8 and Section 2.10 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.8(g) and Section 8.6(a)(ii) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.8(g) and Section 8.6(a)(ii) 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 (a) of this Section; provided, that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.8 or Section 2.10, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive.

8.7[Reserved].

8.8Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Lenders shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Term Loan or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by any Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

8.9Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals, and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Agreement (and each duplicate original) also may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together constitute a fully executed Agreement even though all signatures do not appear on the same counterpart. Receipt of an executed signature page to this Agreement by portable document format (.pdf) attachment to an email, other electronic transmission or as any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or the New York Electronic Signature and Records Act or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form shall be valid and effective for all purposes to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing also applies to any amendment, extension or renewal of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that it has the corporation or limited liability capacity and authority to execute this Agreement through electronic means and there are no restrictions for doing so in such party’s constitutive documents, including having the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system.

8.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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, which degree of care is no less than a reasonable degree of care.

8.16Beneficial Ownership Regulation; Patriot Act. Agent and Lenders hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Person, which information includes the names and addresses and other information that will allow Agent or such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

At any time while an Event of Default exists, without demand or notice (any such notice being expressly waived by such Loan Party), Agent or such Lender may set-off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of such Loan Party even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other Collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHTS OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

9.5Delegation of Rights and Duties. Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through any Lender or their Related Parties.

65

9.6Reliance and Liability. Neither Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable or responsible to any Lender or any of its Related Party or to the Loan Parties for (a) any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any other such Person hereunder or under any related agreement, instrument or document, except in the case of resulting primarily from its gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a non-appealable court of competent jurisdiction or (b) any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any such Related Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders, nor shall Agent or any of its Related Parties be liable or responsible for (i) the execution, legality, validity, effectiveness, sufficiency, enforceability or enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any instrument or document delivered hereunder or thereunder or relating hereto or thereto, or the value of any Collateral, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) the title of any Loan Party to any of the Collateral or the right to grant a security interest therein; (iii) the determination, verification or enforcement any Loan Party’s compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) the failure by any Loan Party to deliver any instrument or document required to be delivered pursuant to the terms hereof or any other Loan Document; or (v) the receipt, disbursement, waiver, extension or other handling of proceeds made or received with respect to the Collateral, or the payment thereof, the servicing of the Collateral or the enforcement or the collection of any amounts owing with respect to the Collateral.

66

9.11 Release of Collateral. Lenders hereby consent to the automatic release and hereby directs Agent to release any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders against (a) any Collateral that is sold by a Loan Party as permitted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in the proceeds of such Collateral after giving effect to such sale have been granted and (b) all of the Collateral of the Loan Parties upon (i) payment and satisfaction in full of all obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (ii) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent obligations in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to Agent and each Related Party that is owed such obligations and (iii) to the extent requested by Agent, receipt by Lenders of liability releases from the Loan Parties each in form and substance acceptable to Agent.

9.12Erroneous Payments

(a)If Agent (i) notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (ii) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 9.12 and held in trust for the benefit of Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds. A notice of Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying Agent pursuant to this Section 9.12(b).

67

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to Agent pursuant to this Section 9.12(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.12(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c)Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Term Loan (but not its Term Loan Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Term Loan (but not Term Loan Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest), and is hereby (together with Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing the such portion of the Term Loan to Borrower or Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Term Loan Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) Agent and Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Term Loan subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Term Loan Commitments of any Lender and such Term Loan Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii)Subject to Section 8.6 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from Borrower or otherwise)), Agent may, in its discretion, sell any portion of the Term Loan acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Term Loan (or portion thereof), and Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by Agent on or with respect to such portion of the Term Loan acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that such Term Loan is then owned by Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

68

(e)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender to the rights and interests of such Lender) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of any portion of the Term Loan that have been assigned to Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by Borrowers or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 9.12 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of Borrowers relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Agent from Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
