LEGAL_US_E # 180603948.7 17 duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.1), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose it to liability or be contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties or exercise of any of its rights or powers under any Loan Document if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the 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. The Administrative Agent may request that the Required Lenders or other parties deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to the Loan Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, 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. 7.4 Appointment of Sub-Agents.

The exculpatory provisions of this Section 7 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any of its sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 7.5 Resignation and Replacement. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such. In connection with such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to resign to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law now or hereafter in effect, the 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 the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the 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 that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (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 proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender (and shall be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have been authorized by each other Secured Party) to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents. 7.9 Action by the Agent. Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, no Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, in each case, on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof. 7.10 Lender Communications. The Borrower and each Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, DebtX or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The


 
LEGAL_US_E # 180603948.7 21 Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Administrative Agent does not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise), arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform, except as to the Administrative Agent, to the extent that any such direct damages (as opposed to indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein that is distributed to the Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications, including through the Platform. 7.11 Erroneous Payments. (a) If the Administrative Agent (x) 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 the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative 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 (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 7.11 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative 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 one (1) Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative 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 the Administrative 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


 
LEGAL_US_E # 180603948.7 22 notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative 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 the Administrative 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 the Administrative 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 use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within three (3) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (b). For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to clause (a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made. (c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a). (d) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative 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, the Administrative 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, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 7.11 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 the Borrower 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 the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Loan Document), the Borrower for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations. (e) 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 the


 
LEGAL_US_E # 180603948.7 23 Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. (f) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 7.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. SECTION 8. GUARANTY 8.1 The Guaranty. (a) In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by each Guarantor from the extensions of credit hereunder, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally guaranties as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all Obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. If any or all of the Obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders becomes due and payable hereunder, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on order, or demand, together with any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in collecting any of the Obligations, and which are required to be reimbursed by the Loan Parties hereunder. The guaranty of each Guarantor contained in this Section 8 is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, to the extent the obligations of any Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including any Debtor Relief Law). 8.2 Insolvency Proceeding. Additionally, each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guaranties the payment of any and all Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 6.1(e), and unconditionally promises to pay such Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, or order, on demand. Each Loan Party further agrees that to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to the Administrative Agent or any Lenders, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to the Borrower or such Guarantor, the estate of the Borrower or such Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made. 8.3 Nature of Liability. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guarantee of the indebtedness of the Borrower and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guarantee, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the indebtedness of the Borrower, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guarantee or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase,


 
LEGAL_US_E # 180603948.7 24 decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the indebtedness which the Administrative Agent or such Lenders repay the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate liability of the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Obligations. 8.4 Independent Obligation. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or the Borrower and whether or not any other Guarantor or the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. 8.5 Waiver. (a) Each Guarantor waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable law that cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lenders to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other party, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party (other than the defense of payment in full), including any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the indebtedness or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower. (b) Each Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the indebtedness and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which each Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks. (c) Until payment in full in cash of the Obligations, each Guarantor hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of Title 11, United States Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Lenders against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the indebtedness of the Borrower owing to the Lenders hereunder (collectively, the “Other Parties”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty. Until payment in full in cash of the Obligations, each Guarantor hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the indebtedness of the Borrower and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Lenders to secure payment of the indebtedness of the Borrower. 8.6 Limitation on Enforcement. The Lenders agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions (or with the consent) of the Required Lenders and that no Lenders shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty,


 
LEGAL_US_E # 180603948.7 25 it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the terms of this Agreement. SECTION 9. GRANT OF SECURITY 9.1 As security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations, the Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in all right, title and interest of the Grantor in, to and under any and all of the following assets now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by the Grantor or in, to or under which the Grantor now has or at any time hereafter may acquire any right, title or interest: (i) the Finished Goods Inventory Collateral; (ii) all books and records pertaining to the Finished Goods Inventory Collateral; and (iii) all Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, subject to the immediately succeeding proviso, the “Collateral”). 9.2 The Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent (or its designee) at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) describe the Collateral covered thereby in any manner that the Collateral Agent reasonably determines is necessary or advisable to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted under this Agreement, and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the UCC for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including whether the Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to the Grantor; provided that nothing herein shall require the Collateral Agent to file financing statements or continuation statements, or be responsible for maintaining the security interests in the collateral (except for the safe custody of any collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document), and such responsibility shall be solely that of the Grantor. The Grantor agrees to provide the information required for any such filing to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request. 9.3 The Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Collateral against all Persons, and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not permitted pursuant to this Agreement. 9.4 The Security Interest granted pursuant to this Section 9 is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Loan Party with respect to or arising out of the Collateral. 9.5 The Collateral Agent is not responsible for, and makes no representation as to, the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral, for the legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Loan Document, or for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any liens created under the Loan Documents, or any ratings applicable to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall exercise reasonable care in respect of the custody and preservation of the collateral in its possession. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the collateral in its possession if such collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. 9.6 The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to insure any of the Collateral, to require any other person to maintain any insurance, to verify any person or third party’s obligation to arrange or maintain insurance or to otherwise monitor the status or sufficiency of any insurance on any


 
LEGAL_US_E # 180603948.7 26 collateral (including flood insurance). The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any loss which may be suffered by any person as a result of the lack of or inadequacy of any insurance on any Collateral. Where the Collateral Agent is named on any insurance policy as a loss payee or an insured party, it shall not be responsible for any loss which may be suffered by reason of, directly or indirectly, its failure to notify the insurers of any material fact relating to the collateral, the risk assumed by the insurers or any other information of any kind. 9.7 The Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall be entitled to (i) release any Collateral upon payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Loan Documents; or (ii) release any Collateral that is sold or transferred by the Grantor as permitted under the Loan Documents upon receipt of an officer’s certificate from the Grantor certifying that such sale or transfer is permitted under the Loan Documents. The Collateral Agent shall entitled to rely on the validity of any officer’s certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 9.7 without liability. 9.8 The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any action with respect to the Collateral if such action would (i) subject the Collateral Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii) require the Collateral Agent to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where the Collateral Agent is not already qualified. 9.9 For all purposes herein, the Collateral Agent shall have the same rights, privileges and indemnities as the Administrative Agent as set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement. SECTION 10. GENERAL. 10.1 Waiver; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.1, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. (b) None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment that has been terminated pursuant to the terms hereof) or increase the amount of Loans of any Lender, in any case, or change the currency in which Loans are available thereunder, without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce any fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (other than any waiver of any applicable default interest), (iii) postpone the scheduled final maturity of any

All notices and requests hereunder shall be in writing (including email or facsimile transmission) and shall be sent to any party to the address of such party most recently provided to the other party hereto or to such other address as such party may, by written notice to the other party, have designated as its address for such purpose.

The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 10.3 Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of- pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders (which, in the case of this clause (i), shall include, without limitation, Paul Hastings LLP, a single local counsel in the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Subsidiary and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each other relevant jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)), in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.


 
LEGAL_US_E # 180603948.7 28 10.4 Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, penalties, damages, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (which shall be limited to a single U.S. counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole (provided that the Agents shall collectively be entitled to retain their own separate counsel), a single local counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole in the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Subsidiary and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each other relevant jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, a single U.S. counsel to all affected Indemnitees (similarly situated taken as a whole), a single local counsel to all affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole in the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Subsidiary and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel to all affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole in each other relevant jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or any former Subsidiary), or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether initiated against or by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, or (y) result from a claim not involving an act or omission of the Borrower or any Subsidiary and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than against the Administrative Agent). To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party shall not assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet and Electronic Systems), except to the extent such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
