The Settlement Fund 34. The Escrow Account shall be established as a “qualified settlement fund” as defined in Section 1.468B-1(a) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations or other appropriate escrow account as agreed to by the Settling Parties. 35. After preliminary approval of the Settlement, Co-Lead Counsel may utilize up to $100,000 from the Notice Fund to provide notice of the Settlement to potential members of the Settlement Class and for notice administration, without an order from the Court. The amount spent or incurred for notice and notice administration is not refundable to Settling Defendants in the event the Settlement Agreement is disapproved, rescinded, or otherwise fails to become effective. 36. From the Notice Fund and the Settlement Fund shall be paid the cost of settlement notice, claims administration, class representatives’ incentive awards, attorneys’ fees, reimbursement of all actual expenses of the Action, any other litigation costs of Plaintiffs, and all applicable taxes, if any. The Settling Parties shall have the right to audit amounts paid from the Settlement Fund prior to the final approval of the Settlement. 37. The Settlement Fund shall be invested in United States Government Treasury obligations or United States Treasury money market funds. The Notice Fund may be deposited in a bank account, in which case it will be deposited in a federally insured interest-bearing account. 38. Settling Defendants shall not have any responsibility, financial obligation, or liability whatsoever with respect to the investment, distribution, use, or administration of the Settlement Fund, including, but not limited to, the costs and expenses of such investment, distribution, use or administration except as expressly otherwise provided in this Settlement Agreement. 39. Settling Defendants’ only payment obligation is to pay the Settlement Amount. Settling Defendants shall not be liable for any costs, expenses, or fees of any of Plaintiffs’ respective attorneys, experts, advisors, agents, or representatives. Payment of all such costs, expenses, and fees, as approved by the Court, shall be paid only out of the Settlement Fund or the Opt-Out Fee and Expense Account. No disbursements shall be made from the Notice Fund or the Settlement Fund prior to the Effective Date of this Settlement Agreement except as described in Paragraphs 35 and 36, above. 40. The distribution of the Settlement Fund shall be administered pursuant to a plan of allocation (the “Plan of Allocation”) proposed by Co-Lead Counsel and subject to the approval of the Court. If such approval is not obtained, Co-Lead Counsel shall revise the Plan of Allocation as necessary until approval of the Court is obtained. Settling Defendants shall have no participatory or approval rights with respect to the Plan of Allocation and the Court’s rejection of the Plan of Allocation shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Settlement Agreement. 41. Settling Defendants will take no position on any application for fees and reimbursement of expenses made by Co-Lead Counsel or by the Settlement Class Members or any application for class representatives’ incentive awards out of the Settlement Fund.

Extent of Liability; Contribution (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 5.11 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount. (b) If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 5.11 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 5.11 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law. (c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.11 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Borrower’s business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. Agent and Lenders shall have the right, at any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of such Loans and Letters of Credit to such Borrower.
