From time to time the Agent shall render to the Borrower a statement setting forth the balance of the Loan Account, including principal, interest, expenses and fees. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by the Agent but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be presumed correct and binding upon the Borrower.

19

2.4 Interest; Benchmark Replacement.

(a) Interest. The Borrower shall jointly and severally pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be Paid in Full, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) four percent (4.00%), in each case payable monthly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each month during such periods and on the day such Advance is Paid in Full.

(b) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Benchmark Transition Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of the Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (Puerto Rico time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of the Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Borrower and the Lenders by the Agent without any amendment to, or further action or consent of the Borrower or any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of the Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of the Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from the Borrower or any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(d) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the benefit of Lenders interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the per annum rate of three percent (3.00%) plus the rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the Term Loan (the “Default Rate”).

(e) Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Term Loan Note falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next following Business Day, and additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

20

2.5 Method for Making Payments. All payments that the Borrower is required to make to the Agent or Lenders under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing Agreements shall be joint and several and shall be made in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of payment at the Agent’s office at Popular Bank, P.O. Box 4601, Oak Park, IL 60303-4601, or at such other place as the Agent directs in writing from time to time, or, in the Agent’s sole and absolute discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, by appropriate debits to the Loan Account. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs Agent to direct debit any of Borrower’s operating accounts with Popular Bank for all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder with respect to the Loan and the Liabilities. Payments made after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.

2.6 Term of this Agreement. The Borrower shall have the right to terminate this Agreement following prepayment of all of the Liabilities as provided under Section 2.7 hereof; provided, however, that all of the Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Liens created under Section 6.1 hereof and under any of the other Financing Agreements, shall survive such termination until all of the Liabilities have been Paid in Full (including, without limitation, all default interest and all interest accrued after commencement of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, whether or not the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any such insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding), and the Borrower requests in writing that the Term Loan Commitment be terminated. In addition, the Liabilities may be accelerated as set forth in Section 10.2 hereof. Upon the effective date of termination, all of the Liabilities shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand. Notwithstanding any termination, until all of the Liabilities shall have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be entitled to retain its Liens in and to all existing and future Collateral and the Borrower shall continue to remit collections of Accounts of the Borrower and proceeds as provided herein.

21

2.7 Optional Prepayment; Mandatory Prepayment.

(a) The Borrower may, at its option, permanently prepay, at any time during the term of this Agreement all or any portion of the Term Loan, subject to the following conditions: (i) not less than ten (10) days prior to the date upon which the Borrower desires to make such prepayment, Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a written notice of its intention to prepay all or such portion of the Term Loan, which notice shall be irrevocable and state the amount of the prepayment and the prepayment date, (ii) the Borrower shall jointly and severally pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders applicable Term SOFR Rate breakage fees, if any, and (iii) Borrower shall jointly and severally pay any amounts due under Section 3 in connection with such prepayment or due under any Hedging Agreement, including, but not limited to, any penalties resulting from the early termination of any Hedging Agreement, (iv) Borrower shall pay to Agent the Exit Fee, if applicable, and (v) provided that (1) no Default or Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (2) immediately after giving effect to such prepayment, the remaining balance of the Term Loan shall not exceed sixty-five percent (65%) of the appraised “leased fee” value of the remaining Facility or Facilities as determined by an appraisal satisfactory to the Agent (which shall be set forth on a new appraisal if such prepayment occurs after the three year anniversary of the Closing Date), and (3) the amount of the Term Loan which is being prepaid is at least the greater of (x) one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Term Loan which was original allocated to the Facility or Facilities as set forth on Schedule 2.7(a) being released and (y) 100% of the HUD Refinancing allocated to the Facility or Facilities being refinanced, the Agent shall release its Lien on the Real Estate and Collateral comprising such Facility or Facilities, and shall also release the Borrowers that are the owners and operators of such Facility or Facilities from all Liabilities under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to which such Borrower is a party. When the Term Loan is permanently repaid in whole for any reason and at any time (whether by voluntary prepayment by Borrower, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, upon the maturity of the Term Loan or otherwise) with funds provided by any Person, the Borrower shall jointly and severally pay to the Agent as compensation for the cost of the Agent making funds available to the Borrower under this Agreement, an Exit Fee, if applicable. Agent agrees that no Exit Fee will be charged to Borrower in connection with a HUD Refinancing so long as such HUD Refinancing occurs after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b) If at any time following the Closing Date (and provided the Borrower fails to comply with the financial covenants set forth in Section 9.17 hereof), the Agent elects to appraise the Real Estate and/or the Facility (the costs of which shall be borne by the Borrower) and the result of such appraisal is such that the outstanding Term Loan exceeds sixty-five percent (65.00%) of the loan to value on an appraised “leased fee” value basis as determined by Agent, then within thirty (30) days after completion of such appraisal, the Borrower shall prepay that portion of the Term Loan necessary to cause such loan to value requirements to be satisfied.

(c) Optional and mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan shall be applied against installments payable under the Term Loan Note in the inverse order of maturity. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

(d) If at any time during the term of this Agreement a Facility is subject to any litigation or other dispute (including any threat of investigation) or any Operator or Facility loses its operating license or any material Permit required for the operation of the Facility, in each case as determined by the Agent, then Agent may require Borrower to remove such Facility from this Agreement and replace it with a new Facility acceptable to the Agent within sixty (60) days of Agent providing Borrower with written notice thereof (which may be provided via e-mail) (“Notice of Removal”); provided, that promptly (but no later than three (3) Business Days) upon Notice of Removal, Borrower shall deposit cash in a blocked account that is pledged in favor of the Agent in an amount equal to the portion of the Term Loan attributable to such Facility as determined by Agent and in the event such Facility is not replaced within sixty (60) days of the Notice of Removal, Agent shall apply such cash in the pledged blocked account to pay down such portion of the outstanding balance of the Term Loan. Agent agrees that no Exit Fee shall be charged in connection with such prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any new Facility, Borrower shall deliver to Agent such amendments, joinders, certificates, lien searches, appraisals and such other due diligence requirements Agent deems reasonably necessary at the sole cost and expense of Borrower. This provision shall in no way restrict or limit the Agent’s rights under this Agreement with respect to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

22

2.8 Limitation on Charges. It being the intent of the parties that the rate of interest and all other charges to the Borrower be lawful, if for any reason the payment of a portion of the interest or other charges otherwise required to be paid under this Agreement would exceed the limit which the Agent and Lenders may lawfully charge the Borrower, then the obligation to pay interest or other charges shall automatically be reduced to such limit and, if any amounts in excess of such limit shall have been paid, then such amounts shall at the sole option of the Agent (or otherwise at the direction of the Required Lenders in writing) either be refunded to the Borrower or credited to the principal amount of the Liabilities (or any combination of the foregoing) so that under no circumstances shall the interest or other charges required to be paid by the Borrower hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, and Borrower shall not have any action against Agent or the Lenders for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any such excess interest.

2.9 Setoff. (a) Borrower agrees that Agent and Lenders have all rights of setoff and banker’s liens provided by applicable law. The Borrower agrees that, if at any time (i) any amount owing by it under this Agreement or any Financing Agreement is then due and payable to the Agent or the Lenders, or (ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then each Lender or the holder of the Term Loan Note issued hereunder, in its sole discretion, may set off against and apply to the payment of any and all Liabilities, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter with such Lender or such holder. Agent or Lenders will use commercially reasonable best efforts to notify Borrower after exercising their rights of setoff but failure to do so shall not result in any liability for Agent and/or Lenders.

(b) Without limitation of Section 2.9(a) hereof, the Borrower agrees that, upon and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent is hereby authorized, at any time and from time to time, without prior written notice to the Borrower, (i) to set off against and to appropriate and apply to the payment of any and all Liabilities any and all amounts which the Agent or Lenders are obligated to pay over to the Borrower (whether matured or unmatured, and, in the case of deposits, whether general or special, time or demand and however evidenced), and (ii) pending any such action, to the extent necessary, to deposit such amounts with the Agent for the benefit of Lenders as Collateral to secure such Liabilities and to dishonor any and all checks and other items drawn against any deposits so held as the Agent in its sole discretion may elect.

(c) The rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Section 2.9 are in addition to all other rights and remedies which the Agent and Lenders may otherwise have in equity or at law.

(d) If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise), on account of (i) principal of or interest on the Term Loan or (ii) other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on the Loan (or such participation) then held by them, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loan held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.

23

2.10 Termination of Loan. The Term Loan and other Liabilities may, at Agent’s and Lender’s (as applicable) sole option, become immediately due and payable, without presentment of any kind in the event of an Event of Default described in Section 10.1.

2.11 Fees. On the Closing Date, as consideration for the Term Loan, the Borrower shall jointly and severally pay to the Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders a one-time closing fee in the amount equal to $682,500 in immediately available funds, which such fee shall be nonrefundable and deemed fully earned as of such date (the “Closing Fee”). The Borrower shall also pay to the Agent for its sole benefit an annual administrative fee of $10,000, which such fee shall be nonrefundable and deemed fully earned each year on the annual anniversary of the Closing Date.

2.12 Late Charges. In addition to any other rights granted to the Agent and Lenders hereunder, if any installment under the Term Loan Note is more than ten (10) days past due, then the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders shall have the right to collect a charge equal to the greater of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) or five percent (5.00%) of the late payment for the month in which it is late. This charge is a result of a reasonable endeavor by the Borrower, Agent and the Lenders to estimate the Lenders’ added costs and damages resulting from the Borrower’s failure to make timely payments under the Term Loan Note; hence the Borrower agrees that the charge shall be presumed to be the amount of damage sustained by the Agent and Lenders since it is extremely difficult to determine the actual amount necessary to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for damages.

3. IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

3.1 Yield Protection. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance of the Agent and Lenders therewith, or Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System:

(a) subjects the Agent or any Lender to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from the Borrower (excluding taxation of the overall net income of the Agent or Lenders), or changes the basis of taxation of payments to the Agent and Lenders in respect of its Loan or other amounts due it hereunder;

(b) imposes, modifies or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Agent and Lenders;

(c) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to the Agent and Lenders of making, funding or maintaining advances or reduces any amount receivable by the Agent and Lenders in connection with advances, or requires the Agent or Lenders to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of advances held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by the Agent;

24

(d) affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Agent or Lenders or any corporation controlling the Agent or Lenders and the Agent or such Lender determines the amount of capital required is increased by or based upon the existence of this Agreement or its obligation to make the Term Loan hereunder or of commitments of this type;

(e) then, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Agent, the Borrower agrees to pay the Agent for the benefit of Lenders that portion of such increased expense incurred (including, in the case of clause (d), any reduction in the rate of return on capital to an amount below that which it could have achieved but for such law, rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive and after taking into account the Agent and Lenders’ policies as to capital adequacy) or reduction in an amount received which the Agent determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining the Term Loan.

3.2 Taxes. All payments by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any present or future excise, income, stamp or other taxes, fees, levies, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever, now or hereafter imposed by any taxing authority, other than franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by the Agent or a Lender’s net income or receipts (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower shall:

(a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(b) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(c) pay to the Agent for the benefit of Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Agent and Lenders will equal the full amount the Agent and Lenders would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Agent or Lenders with respect to any payment received by the Agent or Lenders hereunder with respect to the Liabilities, the Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and the Borrower agrees to promptly pay such additional amounts (including, without limitation, any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by the Agent and Lenders after the payment of such Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount the Agent and Lenders would have received had not such Taxes been asserted.

3.3 Lender Statements. The Agent shall deliver a written statement to the Borrower as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, hereof. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which the Agent determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of demonstrable error. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of the written statement.

25

4. ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. The Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes and appoints the Agent on behalf of Lenders (and all Persons designated by the Agent in writing to the Borrower) as the Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and authorizes the Agent on behalf of Lenders, in the Borrower’s or the Agent’s name, after an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof to do all acts and things which are necessary, in the Agent’s reasonable discretion, to fulfill the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower hereby ratifies and approves all acts under such power of attorney and neither Agent, Lenders nor any other Person acting as Borrower’s attorney hereunder will be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law made in good faith except as result of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The appointment of Agent (and any of the Agent’s officers, employees or agents designated by the Agent) as Borrower’s attorney, and each and every one of Agent’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all of the Liabilities have been fully repaid and this Agreement shall have expired or been terminated in accordance with the terms hereunder.

(y) a Material Adverse Change or Change of Control shall occur; provided that subclause (b)(iii) of the definition of Material Adverse Change shall only be an Event of Default if such change, event, action, condition or effect giving rise to such Material Adverse Change would reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Borrower or Guarantor to repay the Liabilities when due or declared due or perform the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the Financing Agreements to which it is a party or impair the ability of Guarantor to perform the Guarantor’s obligations under its Guaranty and the Financing Agreements to which it is a party.

10.2 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(g), (h), (i) or (j), all of the Liabilities shall immediately and automatically, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived), be immediately due and payable; and upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default, the Agent may with the consent of the Required Lenders (or, upon written request of Required Lenders shall) declare the Term Loan Commitment (if it has not theretofore terminated) to be terminated and any or all of the Liabilities may, at the sole option of the Agent, and without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived), be declared, and thereupon shall become, immediately due and payable, whereupon the Term Loan Commitment shall immediately terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Swap Obligations shall be terminated only as set forth in the respective Hedging Agreement.

10.3 Rights and Remedies Generally. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, the Agent for and on behalf of the Lenders shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies contained in this Agreement and in any of the other Financing Agreements, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or other applicable laws, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and non-exclusive, to the extent permitted by law, including, without limitation, the right of Agent (with the consent or at the direction of Required Lenders) to sell, assign, or lease (as applicable) any or all of the Collateral or the Real Estate. Upon notice to Borrower after an Event of Default, Borrower at its own expense shall assemble all or any part of the Collateral as determined by Agent and make it available to Agent at the Facility or any location designated by Agent. In such event, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, store and keep any Collateral so assembled at such location pending further action by Agent and provide such security guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect and preserve such Collateral. In addition to all such rights and remedies, the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, by the Agent (with the consent of or at the direction of the Required Lenders) after an Event of Default may be for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and the Agent may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, and in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set-off the amount of such purchase price against the Liabilities of the Borrower then owing. Any sales of such Collateral may be adjourned from time to time with or without notice. The Agent may, in its sole discretion, cause the Collateral to remain on the Borrower’s premises, at the Borrower’s expense, pending sale or other disposition of such Collateral. The Agent shall have the right after an Event of Default to conduct such sales (with the consent of the Required Lenders) on the Borrower’s premises, at the Borrower’s expense, or elsewhere, on such occasion or occasions as the Agent may see fit.

10.4 Entry Upon Premises and Access to Information. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to enter upon the premises of the Borrower where the Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent to the Borrower, or any other place or places where such Collateral is believed to be located and kept, and remove such Collateral therefrom to the premises of the Agent or any agent of the Agent, for such time as the Agent may desire, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to obtain access to the Borrower’s data processing equipment, computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral and, subject to any state or federal privacy laws, including without limitation HIPAA, to use all of the foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner the Agent deems appropriate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to notify post office authorities to change the address for delivery of the Borrower’s mail to an address designated by the Agent and to receive, open and process all mail addressed to the Borrower.

10.5 Sale or Other Disposition of Collateral by the Agent. Any notice required to be given by the Agent of a sale, lease or other disposition or other intended action by the Agent, with respect to any of the Collateral, which is deposited in the United States mails, postage prepaid and duly addressed to the Borrower at the address specified in Section 11.12 hereof, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to such proposed action shall constitute fair and reasonable notice to the Borrower of any such action. The net proceeds realized by the Agent upon any such sale or other disposition, after deduction for the expense of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like and the attorneys’ and paralegal fees and legal expenses incurred by the Agent in connection therewith, shall be applied as provided herein toward satisfaction of the Liabilities, including, without limitation, such Liabilities described in Sections 8.2 and 11.2 hereof. The Agent shall account to the Borrower for any surplus realized upon such sale or other disposition, and the Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. The commencement of any action, legal or equitable, or the rendering of any judgment or decree for any deficiency shall not affect the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral until the Liabilities are fully paid. The Borrower agrees that the Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral against any other Person. If and to the extent applicable, the Agent for the benefit of Lenders is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, the Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, tradestyles, trademarks, service marks and advertising matter or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any such Collateral, and the Borrower’s rights and benefits under all licenses and franchise agreements, if any, shall inure to the Agent’s and Lenders’ benefit until the Liabilities of the Borrower are Paid in Full.

54

10.6 Waiver of Demand. Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment are hereby waived by the Borrower. The Borrower also waives the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws.

10.7 Waiver of Notice. UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND HEARING OF ANY KIND PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY THE AGENT OF ITS RIGHTS TO REPOSSESS THE COLLATERAL WITHOUT JUDICIAL PROCESS OR TO REPLEVY, ATTACH OR LEVY UPON THE COLLATERAL WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR HEARING.

10.8 Advice of Counsel. The Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by its counsel with respect to this transaction and this Agreement, including, without limitation, all waivers contained herein.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

11.1 Waiver. The Agent’s or Lenders’ failure, at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by the Borrower of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of the Agent or Lenders’ thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Any suspension or waiver by the Agent and Lenders of an Event of Default under this Agreement or a default under any of the other Financing Agreements shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default under this Agreement or any other default under any of the other Financing Agreements, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different kind or character. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements and no Event of Default under this Agreement or default under any of the other Financing Agreements shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by the Agent and Lenders unless such suspension or waiver is in writing signed by an officer of the Agent and Lenders, and directed to the Borrower specifying such suspension or waiver.

55

Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, no amendment or modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to any covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and acknowledged by Borrower and either (i) Required Lenders, or (ii) Agent with a certification that consent from the Required Lenders has been obtained, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (a) extend or increase the Term Loan Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, as applicable, (b) extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal (exclusive of mandatory prepayments other than prepayments due on the Stated Maturity Date) of or interest on the Term Loan or any fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (c) extend the Stated Maturity Date of the Term Loan without the written consent of all Lenders, (d) reduce the principal amount of the Term Loan, the rate of interest thereon (including applicable margins and interest rate floors) or any fees payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except for any periodic adjustments of interest rates and fees as provided for in this Agreement), (e) release any party, including, without limitation, a guarantor or borrower from its obligations under any guaranty at any time hereafter provided or this Agreement as applicable, or all, or substantially all or any material portion of, the Collateral granted hereunder or under any of the Financing Agreements (except as otherwise specifically permitted or provided in this Agreement), change the payment application provisions set forth in Section 11.8 or the pro rata sharing provision in Section 2.9(d), the definition of Required Lenders, any provision of this Section 11.1 or reduce the pro rata share required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent, without, in each case with respect to this subsection (e), the written consent of all Lenders, (f) waive any material condition set forth in Section 5 without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (g) amend, modify or waive any covenant set forth in Section 9 without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (h) provide, or otherwise permit, the subordination of any portion of the Term Loan without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, or authorize Agent to subordinate its Lien in the Collateral to a third party without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders; or (i) increase the amount of the aggregate Term Loan Commitment without the prior written consent of the Lenders. No provision in this Agreement with respect to the timing or application of mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of Required Lenders. No provision of Section 12 or other provision of this Agreement affecting Agent as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the prior written consent of Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except for the matters set forth in this Section 11.1.

11.2 Costs and Attorneys’ Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent’s outside counsel, and all UCC filing and lien search fees, and, if applicable, real estate appraisal fees, survey fees, cash flow audit, recording, field examination and title insurance costs, and any environmental report or analysis) in connection with the structuring, syndicating, preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of: (i) this Agreement, the Financing Agreements and all other instruments, agreements, certificates or documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder, and (ii) any and all amendments, modifications, supplements and waivers executed and delivered pursuant hereto or any Financing Agreement or in connection herewith or therewith. The Borrower further agrees that the Agent, in its sole discretion, may deduct all such unpaid amounts from the aggregate proceeds of the Loan or debit such amounts from the operating accounts of the Borrower maintained with Popular Bank. The Borrower further agrees that the Agent, in its sole discretion, may conduct future field exams in its sole and absolute discretion; provided that absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred for field exams.

56

(b) The costs and expenses that the Agent incurs in any manner or way with respect to the following shall be part of the Liabilities, payable by the Borrower on demand if at any time after the date of this Agreement the Agent: (i) employs counsel in good faith for advice or other representation (A) with respect to the amendment, modification or enforcement of this Agreement or the Financing Agreements, or with respect to any Collateral securing the Liabilities hereunder, (B) to represent the Agent and Lenders in any work-out or any type of restructuring of the Liabilities, or any litigation, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding or to commence, defend or intervene or to take any other action in or with respect to any litigation, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding (whether instituted by the Agent, Lenders, the Borrower or any other Person) in any way or respect relating to this Agreement, the Financing Agreements, the Borrower’s affairs or any Collateral hereunder or (C) to enforce any of the rights of the Agent or Lenders with respect to the Borrower provided in this Agreement, under any of the Financing Agreements, or otherwise (whether at law or in equity); (ii) takes any action to protect, preserve, store, ship, appraise, prepare for sale, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in accordance with the terms hereunder; and/or (iii) seeks to enforce or enforces any of the rights and remedies of the Agent and Lenders with respect to the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such expenses, costs, charges and fees include: reasonable fees, costs and expenses of attorneys, accountants and consultants; court costs and expenses; court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; reasonable travel costs; and courier and telecopier charges.

(c) The Borrower further agrees to pay, and to save the Agent and Lenders harmless from all liability for, any documentary stamp tax, intangible tax, or other stamp tax or taxes of any kind which may be payable in connection with or related to the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the Financing Agreements, the borrowings hereunder, the issuance of the Term Loan Note or of any other instruments, agreements, certificates or documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for Agent’s or Lenders’ income tax liabilities.

(d) All of the Borrower’s obligations provided for in this Section 11.2 shall be Liabilities secured by the Collateral and shall survive repayment of the Term Loan or any termination of this Agreement or any Financing Agreements.

11.3 Expenditures by the Agent or Lenders. In the event the Borrower shall fail to pay taxes, insurance, audit fees and expenses, consulting fees, filing, recording and search fees, assessments, fees, costs or expenses which the Borrower is, under any of the terms hereof or of any of the other Financing Agreements, required to pay, or fails to keep the Collateral free from other Liens, except as permitted herein, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, pay or make expenditures for any or all of such purposes, and the amounts so expended, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (from the date the obligation or liability of Borrower is charged or incurred until actually Paid in Full to Agent) and shall be part of the Liabilities of the Borrower, payable on demand and secured by the Collateral.

57

11.4 Custody and Preservation of Collateral. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession if it takes such action for that purpose as the Borrower shall request in writing, but failure by the Agent to comply with any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure by the Agent to preserve or protect any right with respect to such Collateral against prior parties, or to do any act with respect to the preservation of such Collateral not so requested by the Borrower, shall of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of such Collateral.

11.5 Reliance by the Agent and Lenders. The Borrower acknowledges that the Agent and Lenders, in entering into this Agreement and agreeing to make the Loan and otherwise extend credit to the Borrower hereunder, have relied upon the accuracy of the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein by the Borrower and the information delivered by the Borrower to the Agent and Lenders in connection herewith (including, without limitation, all financial information and data).

11.6 Assignability; Parties. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Borrower (including by way of an LLC Division) without the prior written consent of the Agent and Required Lenders. Whenever in this Agreement there is reference made to any of the parties hereto, such reference shall be deemed to include, wherever applicable, a reference to the successors and permitted assigns of the Borrower and the successors and assigns of the Agent and Lenders.

11.7 Severability; Construction. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

11.8 Application of Payments. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Agreements, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by the Agent from the Borrower or with respect to any of the Collateral, and the Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that the Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all payments received at any time or times hereafter, whether with respect to the Collateral or otherwise, against the Liabilities in such manner as the Agent may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by the Agent upon any of its books and records.

58

11.9 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. The Agent shall be under no obligation to marshall any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Liabilities. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Agent for the benefit of Lenders or the Agent enforces its Liens or exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

11.10 Sections and Titles; UCC Termination Statements; Mortgage Releases. The sections and titles contained in this Agreement shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto. At such time as all of the Liabilities shall have been Paid in Full and this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with its terms, the Agent will, upon Borrower’s written request, promptly sign all UCC termination statements, releases of mortgages and such other releases, as the case may be, reasonably required by the Borrower to evidence the termination of the Liens in the Collateral and on the Real Estate, as the case may be, in favor of the Agent for the benefit of Lenders and the Agent and Lenders shall return to Borrower any Collateral in their possession.

11.11 Continuing Effect; Inconsistency. This Agreement, the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral, and all of the other Financing Agreements shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Liabilities shall be owed to the Agent or Lenders, and (even if there shall be no such Liabilities outstanding) so long as this Agreement has not been terminated as provided in Section 2.6 hereof. To the extent any terms or provisions contained in any Financing Agreement are inconsistent or conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern.

11.12 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any notice required or desired to be served, given or delivered hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered upon the earlier of (a) personal delivery to the address set forth below and (b) in the case of mailed notice, five (5) calendar days after deposit in the United States mails, with proper postage for certified mail, return receipt requested, prepaid, or in the case of notice by Federal Express or other reputable overnight courier service sent for next day delivery, one (1) Business Day after delivery to such courier service; provided, however, that if any notice is tendered to an addressee and delivery thereof is refused by such addressee, such notice shall be effective upon such tender unless expressly set forth in such notice.

59

11.13 Equitable Relief. The Borrower recognizes that, in the event the Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Agent and Lenders; therefore, the Borrower agrees that the Agent for the benefit of Lenders, if the Agent so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

11.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Financing Agreements executed in connection herewith, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior written or oral understandings, discussions and agreements with respect thereto (including, without limitation, any term sheet or commitment letter). This Agreement may be amended or modified only by mutual agreement of the parties evidenced in writing and signed by the party to be charged therewith.

11.15 Participations and Assignments. The Agent and Lenders shall have the right, without the consent of the Borrower, to sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or any portion of its rights, obligations, and interest under this Agreement and any of the Financing Agreements. The Agent and Lenders shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) to assign all of a portion of its rights, obligations, and interest under this Agreement and any of the Financing Agreement; provided that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s prior written consent shall not be required for an assignment. Agent and Lenders may furnish any information concerning the Borrower in the possession of the Agent and Lenders from time to time to participants (including prospective participants). In connection with any such participation or assignment, the Borrower will pay to the Agent for its sole benefit any annual administrative fee imposed by Agent in connection with the Agent’s duties hereunder on behalf of any participant or assignee lender. The Lenders shall have the right to assign this Agreement and the Loan to any banking regulatory authority.

60

11.16 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender and each and all of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Indemnified Parties in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Indemnified Parties shall be designated by a party thereto), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party (whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal or state laws or other statutory regulations, including, without limitation, securities, environmental and commercial laws and regulations, under common law or at equitable cause, or on contract or otherwise) in any manner directly relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the making and the management of the Term Loan (including, without limitation, any liability under federal, state or local environmental laws or regulations) or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Term Loan hereunder; provided, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all matters incurred by the Indemnified Parties. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense incurred by the Indemnified Parties shall be paid to the Indemnified Parties within five (5) days of demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by the Indemnified Parties until paid by the Borrower, be added to the Liabilities, and be secured by the Collateral. The provisions of and undertakings and indemnifications set out in this Section 11.16 shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the Liabilities of the Borrower and the termination of this Agreement.

11.17 Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and the making of the Term Loan and the repayment of the Liabilities hereunder, other than the financial statement deliveries under Section 8 that relate to a specific date.

11.18 Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement and any amendment or supplement hereto or any waiver granted in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. A signature hereto sent or delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as legally binding and enforceable as a signed original for all purposes.

11.19 Limitation of Liability of Agent and Lenders. It is hereby expressly agreed that:

(a) Agent and each Lender may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document, instrument, certificate, instruction or signature believed to be genuine and may assume and shall be protected in assuming that any Person purporting to give any notice or instructions in connection with any transaction to which this Agreement relates has been duly authorized to do so. Agent and each Lender shall not be obligated to make any inquiry as to the authority, capacity, existence or identity of any Person purporting to have executed any such document or instrument or have made any such signature or purporting to give any such notice or instructions;

61

(b) Agent and each Lender shall not be liable for any acts, omissions, errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, including, without limitation, acts, omissions, errors or mistakes with respect to the Collateral, except for those arising out of or in connection with Agent’s or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent and Lenders shall be under no obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Collateral against any other parties, but may do so at its option, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower; and

(c) Agent and Lenders shall not be liable for any action taken in good faith and believed to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred by this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.

11.20 Borrower Authorizing Accounting Firm. Borrower shall authorize its accounting firm and/or service bureaus to provide Agent with such information as is requested by Agent in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower authorizes Agent upon prior written notice to the Borrower to contact directly any such accounting firm and/or service bureaus to obtain such information.

11.21 Confidentiality. Agent and each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding the Borrower and obtained by Agent pursuant hereto in accordance with Agent’s or such Lender’s customary procedures for handling information of such nature, except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to Agent’s or such Lender’s agents, employees, subsidiaries, Affiliates, attorneys, auditors, professional consultants, rating agencies, insurance industry associations and portfolio management services, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Term Loan or Liabilities, and to prospective contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) in any Hedging Agreement permitted hereby, provided that any such Persons shall have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.21, (iii) as required by law, subpoena, judicial order or similar order and in connection with any litigation, investigation or proceeding, (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of such Person and (v) to a Person that is a trustee, investment advisor, collateral manager, servicer, noteholder or secured party in a Securitization (as hereinafter defined) in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for such Securitization. For the purposes of this Section, “Securitization” shall mean a public or private offering by Agent, any Lender or any of its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, of securities which represent an interest in, or which are collateralized, in whole or in party, by the Term Loan. Confidential information shall not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to such Person through no fault of such Person, or (ii) is disclosed to such Person by a Person other than the Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower (or such Borrower’s accountants, attorneys or other advisors or agents), provided Agent or such Lender does not have actual knowledge that such Person is prohibited from disclosing such information. The obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Section 11.21 shall supersede and replace the obligations of Agent or Lenders under any confidentiality agreement in respect of this financing executed and delivered by Agent or Lenders prior to the date hereof.

THE BORROWER AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW (i) SHALL BE DEEMED IN EVERY RESPECT EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON THE BORROWER IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND (ii) SHALL BE TAKEN AND HELD TO BE VALID PERSONAL SERVICE UPON AND PERSONAL DELIVERY TO THE BORROWER.

11.24 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ALL RESPECTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND ENFORCED AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAWS.

11.25 JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COUNTERCLAIM) ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING (A) TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (B) ARISING FROM ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE FINANCING AGREEMENTS. THE AGENT, LENDERS AND THE BORROWER AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT A JURY.

11.26 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY.

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that it will enjoy significant benefits from the business conducted by the other Borrower because of, inter alia, their combined ability to bargain with other Persons including, without limitation, their ability to receive the credit facilities hereunder and other Financing Agreements which would not have been available to an individual Borrower acting alone. Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest to procure the Term Loan with the credit support of the other Borrower as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. Each Borrower has determined that it has and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements (including, without limitation, the inter-Borrower arrangement set forth in this Section) will have, assets having a fair saleable value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they fall due for payment and that the sum of its debts is not and will not then be greater than all of its property at a fair valuation, that such Borrower has, and will have, access to adequate capital for the conduct of its business and the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature and that the value of the benefits to be derived by such Borrower from the access to funds under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the inter-Borrower arrangement set forth in this Section) is reasonably equivalent to the obligations undertaken pursuant hereto.

64

(b) As used in this Agreement, the term Borrower is defined collectively to include all Persons constituting Borrower; provided, however, that any references herein to “the Borrower”, “any Borrower”, “each Borrower” or similar references, shall be construed as a reference to each individual Person comprising Borrower; provided, further, in case of any question as to which particular Person is to be deemed a Borrower in any given context for purposes of any term or provision contained in this Agreement, Agent shall reasonably make such determination in good faith.

(c) The liability and obligations of each Borrower for payment and performance of the Liabilities to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and under or pursuant to any of the Financing Agreements to which any Borrower is a party shall be joint and several. Such joint and several liability of each Borrower shall to the fullest extent permitted by law remain and exist regardless of whether a Borrower actually receives loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such loans received or the manner in which Agent or any Lender accounts for such loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower’s Liabilities with respect to loans made to it and related fees, costs and expenses, and each Borrower’s Liabilities arising as a result of the joint and several liability of Borrower hereunder, with respect to loans made to the other Borrower hereunder together with the related fees, costs and expenses, shall be separate and distinct Liabilities, all of which are primary Liabilities of each Borrower.

(d) Each Borrower’s Liabilities arising as a result of the joint and several liability of Borrower hereunder with respect to loans or other extensions of credit made to the other Borrower hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the Liabilities of the other Borrower or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all of any part of the Liabilities of the other Borrower, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Liabilities from the other Borrower, any guarantor, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by Agent or Lenders with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Liabilities of the other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by the other Borrower and delivered to Agent and Lenders, (iv) the failure by Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Liabilities of the other Borrower, (v) Agent’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of Agent’s or any Lender’s claims for repayment of the Liabilities of any other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (viii) any other circumstance which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor of any other Borrower, other than that such Liabilities have been Paid in Full. With respect to each Borrower’s Liabilities arising as a result of the joint and several liability of Borrower hereunder with respect to loans or other extensions of credit made to any other Borrower hereunder, each such Borrower waives, until the Liabilities shall have been Paid In Full and this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against such Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Liabilities, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Agent for the benefit of Lenders to secure payment of the Liabilities or any other liability of a Borrower to Agent and Lenders, whether any such right arises by way of suretyship or otherwise.

65

(e) To the extent that applicable law otherwise would render the full amount of the joint and several obligations of any Borrower hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements invalid or unenforceable, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements shall be limited to the maximum amount which does not result in such invalidity or unenforceability, provided, however, that each Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to their fullest extent in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as if this Section were not a part of this Agreement.

(f) Any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Liabilities for which any of Borrower (which Liabilities are not direct borrowings or direct obligations of such Borrower (the “Non-Direct Obligations”)) shall be liable shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Borrower can be liable without rendering such Non-Direct Obligations, as they relate to such Borrower, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer. To the extent that any Borrower shall be required hereunder to pay a portion of its Non-Direct Obligations which shall exceed the greater of (i) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Borrower from any of the loans evidenced hereby in respect of such Non-Direct Obligations, and (ii) the amount which such Borrower would otherwise have paid if such Borrower had paid the aggregate amount of the Non-Direct Obligations of such Borrower (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the other Borrower) in the same proportion as such Borrower’s net worth at the date of any applicable borrowing hereunder is sought bears to the aggregate net worth of all of Borrower at the date of such applicable borrowing hereunder is sought, then such Borrower shall be reimbursed by the other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based on the respective net worth of each Borrower at the date of such applicable borrowing with respect hereto is sought.

12. AGENCY.

12.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 12.9) appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Financing Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Financing Agreement, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or otherwise exist against Agent. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in other Financing Agreements with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

66

12.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of legal counsel and other consultants, independent public accountants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined in a non-appealable judicial proceeding.

12.3 Exculpation of Agent. None of Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates or agents shall (a) be liable to any Lender or any other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any Affiliate, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Financing Agreement, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Financing Agreement to perform its obligations and Liabilities hereunder or thereunder, or be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or verify the satisfaction of any conditions specified in this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, except receipt of items required to be delivered to Agent. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or its Affiliates.

12.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, electronic mail message, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including legal counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be required elsewhere in this Agreement as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be required elsewhere in this Agreement and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 5, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

67

12.5 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 10.2; provided that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.

12.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower which may come into the possession of Agent.

68

12.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless upon demand Agent and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to its applicable pro rata share, from and against any and all indemnified liabilities, provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the indemnified liabilities to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance with the directions of Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorney costs and Taxes) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Financing Agreement, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional reasonable indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by Required Lenders until such additional reasonable indemnity is furnished. The undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the Term Loan and other Liabilities, cancellation of any promissory notes, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Financing Agreements, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

12.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. Popular Bank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrower and its Affiliates as though Popular Bank were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any Lender; provided, however, if Popular Bank acquires equity interests in Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower and such equity interests are not publicly traded, Popular Bank will provide written notice to the Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, Popular Bank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such Affiliates) and acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its portion of the Term Loan, Popular Bank and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though Popular Bank were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Popular Bank and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

12.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Lenders. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) the consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), appoint from among Lenders a successor agent for Lenders. Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing sentence, if no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and Borrower, a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” or “administrative agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12.9 and Sections 12.2 and 12.16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

69

12.10 Collateral Matters; Restriction on Lenders.

(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the other Financing Agreements for the benefit of Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, to take any action with respect to any Collateral and any of the other collateral pursuant to Financing Agreements that may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral and the other collateral pursuant to the other Financing Agreements. Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (i) to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under this Agreement and any other Financing Agreement (x) upon the Term Loan being Paid in Full; (y) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of, financed or refinanced, as part of or in connection with any sale, disposition, financing or refinancing which is expressly permitted by this Agreement at any time; or (z) subject to Section 12.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders; or (ii) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is expressly permitted by this Agreement at any time. Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will promptly confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.10. Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s security interest in assets and Collateral (and other collateral pursuant to other Financing Agreements) which, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets or Collateral, such Lender shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing, and, promptly upon Agent’s written request therefor, shall deliver such assets or Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or to realize upon any Collateral for the Liabilities unless instructed in writing to do so by Agent, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent.

(b) Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and shall, upon the written request of Agent (to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so), set off against the Liabilities, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrower or any deposit accounts of any Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken, any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to foreclose any loan or otherwise enforce any security interest in any of the Collateral or to enforce all or any part of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements. All enforcement actions under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements against the Borrower or any third party with respect to the Liabilities or the Collateral may only be taken by Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) or by its agents at the direction of Agent.

70

12.11 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Term Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, 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 Term Loan, and all other Liabilities that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Agent and their respective agents and attorneys and all other amounts due Lenders and Agent under this Agreement) allowed in such judicial proceedings; 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 judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and attorneys, and any other amounts due Agent under this Agreement.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, affecting the Liabilities or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

12.12 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of Lenders or other Persons identified herein as and if applicable, a “joint arranger,” “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “joint lead lender”, “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger”, if any, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on Agent, any of Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

71

12.13 Payments to the Agent.

(a) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, together with interest accruing on a daily basis at the Federal Funds Rate (as defined below). If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender shall repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(b) As used herein, the term “Federal Funds Rate” means for any day, a fluctuating interest rate equal for each day during such period to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published for such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, for the next preceding Business Day) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for such day on such transactions received by Agent from three Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by Agent; provided, Agent’s determination of such rate shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error.

12.14 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) Any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Agent hereunder, (ii) second, if so determined by Agent and Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations (if any) of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (iii) third, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower, Agent or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower, Agent or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) fourth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the portion of the Term Loan of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of the portion of the Term Loan of any Defaulting Lender.

72

(b) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Required Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement except with respect to items which require the vote or consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, and no Defaulting Lender shall have any other right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, consent or any other action the Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 11.1), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(c) The failure of any Defaulting Lender to make any portion of the Term Loan on the Closing Date, advance or any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Term Loan, advance or payment, but neither any Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make the Term Loan, advance or make any other payment required hereunder.

(d) At Borrower’s written request, Agent or a Person reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right with Agent’s written consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but without no obligation whatsoever on Agent) to purchase from any Defaulting Lender, and each Defaulting Lender agrees that it shall, at Agent’s written request, promptly sell and assign to Agent or such Person, all of the lending commitments and commitment interests of that Defaulting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of the portion of the Term Loan held by such Defaulting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated (if at all upon Agent’s election) pursuant to an executed assignment agreement.

12.15 Inspection Deliveries. In the event Agent exercises its right to conduct an inspection of Borrower’s properties, assets and/or Facilities pursuant to Section 8.2 above, Agent agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver (at the sole cost and expense of Borrower) copies of any and all written documentation or written information received by the Agent in connection with such inspection to each Lender; provided, however, that failure of Agent to so deliver any of the foregoing for any reason shall not impose any liability on Agent whatsoever.

12.16 Conflict with Financing Agreements.
