NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.	DEFINITIONS

1.1. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of the Loan Documents, capitalized terms shall have the meanings as defined in this Agreement (including, as applicable, each Annex to this Agreement and Appendix A to this Agreement). The following terms when used herein shall have the following meanings:

“Account Debtor” means any Person who may become obligated to a Loan Party under, with respect to, or on account of, an Account, any Chattel Paper, any General Intangibles or any Intangibles (including a payment intangible).

“Accounts” means all rights, titles and interests of each Loan Party in all of such Loan Party’s “accounts,” as such term is defined in the Code or the PPSA, as applicable, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, including (a) all accounts receivable, other receivables, book debts and other forms of obligations, (including any such obligations that may be characterized as an account or contract right under the Code, or the PPSA, as applicable), (b) all of each Loan Party’s rights in, to and under all purchase orders or receipts for goods or services, (c) all of each Loan Party’s rights to any Goods represented by any of the foregoing (including unpaid sellers’ rights of rescission, replevin, reclamation and stoppage in transit and rights to returned, reclaimed or repossessed Goods), (d) all rights to payment due to any Loan Party for property sold, leased, licensed, assigned or otherwise disposed of, for a policy of insurance issued or to be issued, for a secondary obligation incurred or to be incurred, for energy provided or to be provided, for the use or hire of a vessel under a charter or other contract, arising out of the use of a credit card or charge card, or for services rendered or to be rendered by such Loan Party or in connection with any other transaction (whether or not yet earned by performance on the part of such Loan Party), (e) all healthcare insurance receivables, and (f) all Supporting Obligations, guarantees and indemnities and other collateral security of any kind, now or hereafter in existence, given by any Account Debtor or other Person with respect to any of the foregoing.

“Adjusted EBITDA” means, for any period, net income from operations (and for the avoidance of doubt excluding the proceeds of Stock issuances) for such period, plus (a) without duplication and to the extent deducted in determining net income for such period, the sum of (i) interest expense for such period, (ii) income tax expense for such period, (iii) all amounts attributable to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for such period (inclusive of non-cash amortization expenses resulting from the amortization of the Borrowers’ software platforms which may be classified as cost of goods sold instead of amortization expense in the Borrowers’ consolidated Statement of Operations), (iv) any extraordinary charges for such period consistent with those which the Borrowers have historically presented as adjustments to EBITDA in its calculation of “EBITDA” in its public filings with the Commission, (v) any other noncash charges for such period (but, excluding any non-cash charge in respect of an item that was included in net income in a prior period), and any other accepted adjustments between the Borrowers and Agent, minus (b) without duplication and to the extent included in net income, any extraordinary or non-recurring gains and any non-cash items of income for such period, all calculated in accordance with GAAP.

“Adjusted Term SOFR Rate” means, for any Interest Period, the Term SOFR Rate plus 0.11% (11 Basis Points); provided that, if the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate as so determined would be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be equal to 1.00% for purposes of calculating such rate. The Adjusted Term SOFR Rate is subject to adjustment from time to time based on changes in the Term SOFR Rate.

“Advance” means any Revolving Credit Advance, Swing Line Advance, and/or the Term Loan, as the context may require.

“Affected Financial Institution” means (a) any EEA Financial Institution or (b) any UK Financial Institution.

“Affected Lender” has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 12.6(c) of this Agreement.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, (a) each Person that, directly or indirectly, owns or controls, whether beneficially, or as a trustee, guardian or other fiduciary, 10% or more of the Stock having ordinary voting power in the election of directors (or managers) of such Person, (b) each Person that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, (c) each of such Person’s officers, directors, members, managers, joint venturers and partners, and (d) in the case of a Loan Party, the immediate family members, spouses and lineal descendants of individuals who are Affiliates of such Loan Party. For the purposes of this definition, “control” of a Person shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of its management or policies, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; provided, however, that the term “Affiliate” shall specifically exclude Agent, L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender and each Lender.

“Agent” or “Administrative Agent” means First Merchants Bank, an Indiana bank, in its capacity as administrative agent under the Loan Documents or its successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.12 of this Agreement.

“Agreement” means this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among Borrowers, the other Loan Parties party thereto, First Merchants Bank, as Agent, L/C Issuer and a Swing Line Lender, and the Lenders from time to time party thereto.

“Amalco” shall mean Cineplex Digital Media Inc., the corporation resulting from the Permitted Amalgamation described under clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Amalgamation.

“Amalgamation Outside Date” shall mean November 12, 2025, or such other date as may be agreed to in writing by CRI and Agent.

“Anti-Terrorism Laws” means any Laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including Executive Order No. 13224 (effective September 24, 2001), the USA PATRIOT Act, the Laws comprising or implementing the Bank Secrecy Act, and the Laws administered by OFAC.

“Applicable Margin” means, as of any date, the applicable per annum rate set forth below in the applicable column in the table below based on the then Senior Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio.

For purposes of determining the Applicable Margins, the Senior Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio will, on and after the First Pricing Grid Determination Date, be determined as of the First Pricing Grid Determination Date and as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter of Borrowers ending on or after the First Pricing Grid Determination Date. The “First Pricing Grid Determination Date” occurring on and after the Closing Date will be December 31, 2025. On Agent’s receipt of the Financial Statements and Compliance Certificate for a Fiscal Quarter required to be delivered to Agent pursuant to the Agreement, the Applicable Margins will be subject to adjustment prospectively in accordance with the table set forth above based on the then Senior Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio so long as no Event of Default is existing as of the applicable effective date of adjustment (and, if any such Event of Default is then existing, any such adjustment to the Applicable Margins will be at Agent’s sole election). The foregoing adjustment, if applicable, will become effective on the Reset Date of the first calendar month after Agent’s receipt of the Financial Statements and Compliance Certificate required to be delivered to Agent pursuant to the Agreement until the next succeeding effective date of adjustment pursuant to this paragraph. Each of the Financial Statements and Compliance Certificate required to be delivered to Agent must be delivered to Agent in compliance with the Agreement. If, however, either the Financial Statements or the Compliance Certificate required to be delivered to Agent pursuant to the Agreement have not been delivered in accordance therewith, then, at Agent’s option or the Required Lenders’ written election to Agent, commencing on the date upon which such Financial Statements or Compliance Certificate should have been delivered in accordance with the Agreement and continuing until such Financial Statements or Compliance Certificate are actually delivered in accordance with the Agreement, for purposes of determining the Applicable Margins, the pricing and percentage associated with Pricing Grid Level II will be applicable. From the Closing Date until the first adjustment after the First Pricing Grid Determination Date in accordance with the terms hereof, the Applicable Margins shall be as set forth in Pricing Grid Level II. Notwithstanding that Pricing Grid Levels could include a Senior Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio that is in violation of the applicable ratio required by the Agreement (e.g., by providing for a Senior Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio in the table set forth above which is more than the then permitted covenant level set forth in the Credit Agreement), if Borrowers violate the Financial Covenant set forth in the Agreement for any Fiscal Quarter-end, then Agent may, without notice and in addition to any increase in the Applicable Margins pursuant to this paragraph, implement the Default Rate. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of Agent or the Lenders with respect to Section 2.4(c) and Section 9 hereof, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement until the payment in full in cash of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances.

“Applicable Rate” means: (a) with respect to Overadvances, Protective Advances, Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances, the Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin that then applies to the Revolving Credit Advances and (b) with respect to the Term Loan, the Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin that then applies to the Term Loan.

“Application Event” means the occurrence of (a) a failure by Borrowers to repay all of the Obligations in full on the Commitment Termination Date, or (b) an Event of Default and the election by Agent or the Required Lenders to require that payments and Proceeds of Collateral be applied pursuant to Section 9.3(b) of this Agreement.

“Approved Fund” means any (a) investment company, fund, trust, securitization vehicle or conduit that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business or (b) any Person (other than a natural person) which temporarily warehouses loans for any Lender or any entity described in the preceding clause (a) and that, with respect to each of the preceding clauses (a) and (b), is administered or managed by (i) a Lender, (ii) an Affiliate of a Lender, or (iii) a Person (other than a natural person) or an Affiliate of a Person (other than a natural person) that administers or manages a Lender.

“Bank Product” means any of the following products, services or facilities extended to any Loan Party from time to time by Agent, any Lender or any of Affiliate of Agent or any Lender or any Person who was Agent, a Lender or an Affiliate of Agent or a Lender at the time it provided such products, services or facilities: (a) any services in connection with operating, collections, payroll, trust, or other depository or disbursement accounts, including automated clearinghouse, e-payable, electronic funds transfer, wire transfer, controlled disbursement, overdraft, depository, information reporting, lockbox services, stop payment services, and other treasury management services; (b) commercial credit card and merchant card services; and (c) other banking products or services as may be requested by any Loan Party, other than Letters of Credit and Rate Contracts; provided, that no such products, services or facilities provided by any Lender (other than any Lender that is also Agent or an Affiliate of Agent) or any of its respective Affiliates shall be deemed to be “Bank Products” hereunder until Agent has been notified in writing by the applicable Lender thereof.

“Bankruptcy Code” means the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.

“Base Rate” means a variable per annum rate, as of any date of determination, equal to the Prime Rate. The Base Rate is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate actually charged to any customer. First Merchants Bank may make commercial loans or other loans at rates of interest at, above or below the Base Rate. Any change in the Base Rate shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement on the date of such change without notice to Borrowers.

(ii) a public statement or publication of information by the NYFRB, the Federal Reserve Board, or, as applicable, the regulatory supervisor for the CME Term SOFR Administrator, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the CME Term SOFR Administrator, a Resolution Authority with jurisdiction over the CME Term SOFR Administrator, or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or Resolution Authority over the CME Term SOFR Administrator, in each case, which states that the CME Term SOFR Administrator (or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Rate, or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has ceased or will cease to provide the Term SOFR Rate (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Term SOFR Rate (or such component thereof); or

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Rate if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current available tenor of the Term SOFR Rate.

Any amount or rate of interest referred to in Section 2.4 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable credit remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of ‘‘interest’’ (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be prorated over the period from the Closing Date to the applicable maturity date, and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

(b) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of Borrowers, Agent may, in its discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to) and with the consent of all Lenders, make Revolving Credit Advances to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders in amounts that cause the outstanding balance of the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Lenders to exceed the Borrowing Base (any such excess Revolving Credit Advances are herein referred to collectively as “Overadvances”); provided, that (i) no such event or occurrence shall cause or constitute a waiver of Agent’s, the Swing Line Lender’s or Lenders’ right to refuse to make any further Overadvances, Swing Line Advances or Revolving Credit Advances, or incur any Letter of Credit Obligations at any time that an Overadvance exists, and (ii) no Overadvance shall result in a Default or Event of Default due to a Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 2.2(b)(i) for so long as Agent permits such Overadvance to remain outstanding, but solely with respect to the amount of such Overadvance. In addition, Overadvances may be made even if the conditions to lending set forth in Section 8.2 have not been met. All Overadvances may in Agent’s sole election (or otherwise at the written request of Required Lenders, shall) bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be payable on the earlier of demand or the Commitment Termination Date.

(c) Subject to the limitations set forth below, Agent is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion (but Agent shall have absolutely no obligation), to make Advances to Borrowers, on behalf of all Lenders, which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 10.1) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such advances are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided, that the aggregate amount of Protective Advances and Overadvances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed 10% of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment of all Lenders; provided, further, that (A) the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Lenders after giving effect to the Protective Advances being made shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments and (B) the Revolving Exposure of any Lender after giving effect to the Protective Advances being made shall not exceed such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Revolving Loan Commitment. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient Borrowing Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 have been satisfied, Agent may request the Lenders to make a Revolving Credit Advance to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations as described in this Section 2.1(c). Upon the making of a Protective Advance by Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitment. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all Proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

(d) The making of each Advance by Agent or any Lender, whether under Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(c) or Section 2.3, will be deemed to be a representation by each Borrower that (i) the Advance will not violate the terms of Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(c) or Section 2.3 and (ii) all Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory then comprising the Borrowing Base meet all of Agent’s criteria for Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory, respectively. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to follow, or any liability for, the application by any Borrower of any proceeds of any Advance.

Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.2(c) (but disregarding any requirement therein for prepayment of the Term Loan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Overadvance made pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.1(b).

(ii) Subject to Section 2.2(e), within two (2) Business Days after receipt by any Loan Party or Subsidiary of cash Proceeds (including insurance proceeds and proceeds from casualty losses or condemnations) of any voluntary or involuntary sale or disposition of, or any casualty or condemnation event with respect to, any property or assets of any Loan Party or Subsidiary (determined exclusive of any proceeds of sales of Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business solely for purposes of this Section 2.2(b)(ii)), Borrowers shall notify Agent of such Loan Party’s receipt of such cash Proceeds and shall prepay the Advances (and cash collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations) in an amount equal to all such cash Proceeds, net of (A) commissions and other reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and payable by Borrowers in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates), (B) transfer taxes, (C) amounts payable to holders of Liens that are senior to the Liens of Agent created under the Loan Documents on such assets (to the extent such Liens constitute Permitted Encumbrances hereunder), and (D) an appropriate reserve for income taxes in accordance with GAAP in connection therewith (it being understood that to the extent any such reserve is reversed or abandoned, the amount so reversed or abandoned shall constitute cash Proceeds payable pursuant to this Section). Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.2(c); provided, that so long as (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, (2) Borrowers shall have given Agent prior written notice of Borrowers’ intention to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the properties or assets that are the subject of such sale or disposition or the cost of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of such Loan Party or, in the case of Proceeds from casualty losses or condemnation, to the cost of repair and restoration of the affected assets, (3) the monies are held in a Deposit Account in which Agent has a perfected first-priority security interest, and (4) such Loan Party completes such replacement, purchase, or construction within 180 days (or 365 days in the case of any involuntary disposition resulting from a casualty loss or condemnation) after the initial receipt of such monies, then the Loan Party whose assets were the subject of such disposition shall have the option to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of such assets or the costs of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of such Loan Party or, in the case of Proceeds from casualty losses or condemnation, to the cost of repair and restoration of the affected assets, unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such replacement, purchase, or construction being made or completed, in which case, such net cash proceeds not so applied shall be paid to Agent and applied in accordance with Section 2.2(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any insurance proceeds (including business interruption insurance) are contractually required to be paid to any third party (including customers, vendors or other stakeholders) as a result of an operational disruption or casualty, such proceeds shall not be deemed available for mandatory prepayment under the Agreement.

(iii) If any Loan Party issues Stock in exchange for cash (other than the Permitted Preferred Stock Offering or cash payments to exercise any securities convertible into Stock) or receives a capital contribution in cash, no later than the Business Day following the date of receipt of the Proceeds thereof, Borrowers shall notify Agent of such Loan Party’s receipt of such Proceeds and shall prepay the Advances (and cash collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations) in an amount equal to all such Proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs paid to non-Affiliates in connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.2(c).

(iv) If any Loan Party incurs Indebtedness not permitted under the terms of this Agreement, no later than the Business Day following the date of receipt of the Proceeds thereof, Borrowers shall notify Agent of such Loan Party’s receipt of such Proceeds and shall prepay the Advances (and cash collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations) in an amount equal to all such Proceeds, net of reasonable costs paid to non-Affiliates in connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.2(c).

(v) Commencing for the fiscal year end December 31, 2026 and continuing annually thereafter, Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations on the date that is thirty (30) Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which Borrowers’ annual audited Financial Statements for the immediately preceding fiscal year are delivered or (ii) the date on which such annual audited Financial Statements were required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement in an amount equal to (each an “Excess Cash Flow Payment”): (I) zero percent (0.00%) of Borrowers’ Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding fiscal year if Borrowers’ Senior Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is less than 1.50 to 1, (II) twenty-five percent (25.00%) of Borrowers’ Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding fiscal year if Borrowers’ Senior Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1 but less than 2.50 to 1 and (III) fifty percent (50.00%) of Borrowers’ Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding fiscal year if Borrowers’ Senior Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1. Each Excess Cash Flow Payment shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by a financial officer of a Borrower certifying the manner in which Excess Cash Flow and the resulting prepayment were calculated, which certificate shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

(c) Application of Certain Mandatory Prepayments. So long as no Event of Default or Application Event has occurred and is continuing, any prepayments made by Borrowers (except for Excess Cash Flow Payments which shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan first) pursuant to Section 2.2(b) shall be applied as follows: first to prepay any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, second to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan, to the remaining principal installments thereof in the inverse order of maturity (including the “bullet” payment at maturity with respect thereto), third to prepay any Swing Line Advances that may be outstanding, fourth to prepay the remaining Advances without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitments, and fifth to cash collateralize outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth on Annex A. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but an Application Event is not in existence, such amounts shall be applied as provided in Section 9.3(b). If an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, such amounts shall be applied as provided in Section 9.3(c).

(d) Currency of Advances and All Payments. All Advances by the Lenders and all payments of interest, principal and fees by a Borrower are to be made in Dollars.

(e) No Implied Consent. Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be construed to constitute Agent’s or any Lender’s consent to any transaction that is not expressly permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or a waiver of any Event of Default arising therefrom.

2.3. Swing Line Advances.

(a) Swing Line Lender may, from time to time, at its sole election and without prior notice to or consent by any Lender or Borrowers, convert any request or deemed request by Borrowers for a Revolving Credit Advance into a request for an advance made by, and for the account of, Swing Line Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (each such advance, a “Swing Line Advance”). Each Swing Line Advance shall be advanced by Swing Line Lender in the same manner as Revolving Credit Advances are advanced hereunder, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1 or as otherwise permitted to Section 2.3(b), provided, that no Swing Line Advances shall be made at any time that an Event of Default under Sections 9.1(a), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing. The aggregate amount of Swing Line Advances outstanding shall not exceed at any time the lesser of (A) the Swing Line Maximum Amount or (B) an amount that results in (i) any Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment or (ii) the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Lenders exceeding the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolver Amount and (y) the Borrowing Base. If at any time the outstanding Swing Line Advances exceed the Swing Line Maximum Amount, then, on the next succeeding Business Day, Borrowers shall repay Swing Line Advances, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent and Swing Line Lender, in each case without any further written or oral request of any Borrower, to transfer funds automatically from the Collection Account to the Disbursement Account in amounts necessary for the payment of checks and other items drawn on, and debits by Agent of, the Disbursement Account as such checks and other items (“Presentments”) are presented to Agent or any of its Affiliates for payment, and debits are made by Agent, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and without the need for a Notice of Borrowing as provided in Sections 2.1(a) and 2.3(a). Each such funds transfer shall be deemed to be a Swing Line Advance requested by a Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement. If any Presentments in the Disbursement Account are paid by Agent in excess of funds available in the Collection Account for any reason, the amounts so paid by Agent will be deemed to be a Swing Line Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and are hereby ratified and approved by Borrowers; provided, that under no circumstances will Agent have any obligation to pay any Presentments in the Disbursement Account in excess of funds available in the Collection Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3(b), Agent may, in its discretion, at any time hereafter upon written notice to Borrowers, elect to discontinue the automatic sweeping of funds from the Collection Account to the Disbursement Account, including if Borrowing Availability is less than five precent (5.00%) of the lesser of (x) the Revolving Loan Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base. Furthermore, Agent reserves the right to discontinue providing Disbursement Accounts to its customers, including Borrowers.

(c) Swing Line Lender shall give Agent prompt notice of each Swing Line Advance made by Swing Line Lender. In the event that on any Business Day Swing Line Lender desires that all or any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Advances should be reduced, in whole or in part, Swing Line Lender shall notify Agent to that effect and indicate the portion of the Swing Line Advance to be so reduced. Swing Line Lender hereby agrees that it shall notify Agent to reduce the Swing Line Advance to zero at least once every week. Agent agrees to transmit to Lenders the information contained in each notice received by Agent from Swing Line Lender regarding the reduction of outstanding Swing Line Advances and shall concurrently notify such Lenders of each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the obligation to make a Revolving Credit Advance to repay outstanding Swing Line Advances (or the applicable portion thereof). Each Lender hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to fund to the Loan Account, for the benefit of Swing Line Lender, not later than noon (Indianapolis, Indiana time) on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of such notice from Agent (provided, that if any Lender shall receive such notice at or prior to 10:00 a.m. (Indianapolis, Indiana time) on a Business Day, such funding shall be made by such Lender on such Business Day), such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Credit Advance (which Revolving Credit Advance shall be deemed to be requested by Borrowers) in the principal amount equal to the portion of the Swing Line Advance which is required to be paid to Swing Line Lender under this Section 2.3. The proceeds of any such Revolving Credit Advances so funded shall be immediately paid over to Agent for the benefit of Swing Line Lender for application against then-outstanding Swing Line Advances. For purposes of this Section 2.3 Swing Line Lender shall be conclusively entitled to assume that, at the time of the advance of any Swing Line Advance, each Lender will fund its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Advances provided for in this Section 2.3.

(d) In the event that, at any time any Swing Line Advances are outstanding, either (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.1(h) or 9.1(i) has occurred or (ii) the Revolving Loan Commitment has been suspended or terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then in either case, each Lender (other than Swing Line Lender) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and immediately purchased and received from Swing Line Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Swing Line Advances in an aggregate amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Swing Line Advance outstanding. Any purchase obligation arising pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances whatsoever. In the event that on any Business Day Swing Line Lender desires to effect settlement of any such purchase, Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify Agent to that effect and indicate the payment amounts required by each Lender to effect such settlement. Agent agrees to transmit to Lenders the information contained in each notice received by Agent from Swing Line Lender and shall concurrently notify such Lenders of each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the required payment settlement amount. Each such Lender shall effect such settlement upon receipt of any such notice by transferring to Agent’s account specified by Agent to Lenders from time to time not later than noon (Indianapolis, Indiana) on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day of receipt of such notice (provided, that if any such Lender shall receive such notice at or prior to 10:00 a.m. (Indianapolis, Indiana) on a Business Day, such funding shall be made by such Lender on such Business Day), an amount equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s participation in the Swing Line Advance.

(e) In the event any Lender fails to make available to Agent when due the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s participation in the Swing Line Advances, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first three (3) days following the due date, and thereafter at the Applicable Rate in respect of Swing Line Advances. Any Lender’s failure to make any payment requested under this Section 2.3 shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to Agent such other ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s required payment hereunder. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 2.3 shall be deemed to be binding upon Agent, Swing Line Lender and Lenders notwithstanding the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, or any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding pertaining to Borrowers or any other Loan Party.

2.4. Interest and Applicable Margins; Fees; Term Loan Principal Payments.

(a) Subject to Sections 2.1(b), 2.1(c), 2.4(c) and 2.4(d), each Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate. Each determination of an interest rate by Agent shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. All computations of Fees and interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year (366 days in the case of a leap year) and actual days elapsed. Interest and Fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such Fees are computed from (and including) the first day thereof to (but excluding) the last day thereof.

(b) All as determined by Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents and Agent’s loan systems and procedures periodically in effect, interest shall be paid in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date and (ii) on the date of each payment or prepayment of Advances on and after the Commitment Termination Date. Agent may estimate the amount of interest that Borrowers will owe on Borrowers’ periodic statements and Agent may adjust the amount of interest owed on each subsequent statement provided to Borrowers to reflect any differential between the estimated amount of interest shown on Borrowers’ preceding statement and the actual amount of interest determined to have been due by Agent on the preceding Interest Payment Date. Borrowers agree to pay the amount shown due on the Interest Payment Date on each of Borrowers’ periodic statements on each Interest Payment Date.

(c) At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists (or automatically while any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), 9.1(h) or 9.1(i) exists), interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by Law) on the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fees shall increase, from and after the date of occurrence of such Event of Default, to a rate per annum which is determined by adding 2.0% per annum to the Applicable Margin or Letter of Credit Fee, as applicable, then in effect for such Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations, as applicable (the “Default Rate”). All such interest shall be payable on demand of Agent or the Required Lenders.

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Borrowers hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any Law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event Borrowers shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable Law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”) for such period; provided, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(e) Fees.

(i) Agent’s Fees. Borrowers agree to pay to Agent, for its own account and the account of other Lenders, as applicable, Fees payable in the amounts and at the times as set forth in the Fee Letter.

(ii) Unused Line Fees. Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, a non-usage Fee (the “Unused Line Fee”), which shall accrue at the 0.375% per annum on the average daily amount of the undrawn portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment during the period from and including the Closing Date to the date on which the Revolving Loan Commitments terminate; it being understood that the outstanding amount of Letter of Credit Obligations of a Lender shall be included and the Swing Line Exposure of a Lender shall be included in the drawn portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender for purposes of calculating the non-usage fee. The accrued Unused Line Fee shall be assessed on the first (1^st) day of every month, and payable in arrears on each subsequent Interest Payment Date, all as determined by Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents and Agent’s loan systems and procedures periodically in effect. Accruals of the Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed during the applicable period (including the first day but excluding the last day of such period).

(iii) Letter of Credit Fees. Borrowers agree to pay to Agent:

(A) For the account of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments, as compensation to such Lenders for their participation interest in the Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit (each a “Letter of Credit Fee”), with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, a Fee in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Advances in effect on such date of issuance on the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, which Fee shall be payable (as more specifically determined pursuant to the applicable Loan Documents with respect to such Letter of Credit and otherwise as determined by Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents and Agent’s loan systems and procedures periodically in effect) in advance on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(B) For the account of L/C Issuer, on demand, such Fees (including all current issuance, opening, closing, transfer, amendment, draw, renewal, negotiation and other letter of credit administration fees) and other charges and expenses of L/C Issuer in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of such Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued. Borrowers further agree to pay to Agent and each Lender all costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender on account of any Letter of Credit Obligations.

All such Fees are fully earned by the applicable Lenders when paid and non-refundable. The Letter of Credit Fee will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. If any Letter of Credit is cancelled for any reason before the stated expiry date thereof, the Letter of Credit Fee or any other Fee paid in advance will not be refunded and will be retained by the applicable Lenders solely for their account.

(iv) NSF Fees. In addition to, and without limiting, any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Agent may impose a non-sufficient funds fee for any check that is presented for payment that is returned for any reason.

(f) Borrowers hereby promise to pay to Agent, on each Principal Payment Date until the Term Loan has been paid in full, the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan in monthly installments equal to $300,000; provided that the last installment of principal of the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Termination Date applicable to the Term Loan (if not earlier paid) and shall be in an amount sufficient to pay in full the entire unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan. Borrowers may from time to time optionally prepay the principal balance of the Term Loan; provided that (i) Borrowers shall provide advance written notice to Agent of such prepayment at the latest by noon (Indianapolis, Indiana time) on the Business Day prior to the prepayment and (ii) each voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $50,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed by Agent). Any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan will be applied to the last to mature of the payments required under this Agreement.

2.5. Inability to Determine Rates; Illegality. If the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) or is advised by the Required Lenders that: (i) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate; (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of the Loans; or (iii) a Change in Law shall, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, make it unlawful or commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to use the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate as the index for purposes of determining the Applicable Rate, then: (A) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate shall be replaced with an alternative or successor rate or index chosen by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; and (B) the Applicable Margin may also be adjusted by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, giving due consideration to market convention for determining rates of interest on comparable loans and any related changes to any Rate Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, the Administrative Agent may, by notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, amend this Agreement to establish an alternate rate of interest for the Benchmark that gives due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) the then-evolving or prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then current Benchmark at such time (the “Alternate Rate”); Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledge that the Alternate Rate may include a mathematical adjustment using any then-evolving or prevailing market convention or method for determining a spread adjustment for the replacement of the Benchmark (which may include, if any Benchmark already contains such a spread, adding that spread to the Alternate Rate). The Administrative Agent may further amend this Agreement by such notice to Borrowers and the Lenders to make technical, administrative or operational changes (including, without limitation, changes to the definition of “Interest Period”, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, the timing of prepayment or conversion notices, the length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of the Alternate Rate. The Alternate Rate, together with all such technical, administrative and operational changes as specified in any notice, shall become effective at the later of (i) the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent has provided notice (including without limitation for this purpose, by electronic means) to the Borrowers and the Lenders (the “Objection Date”) and (ii) a date specified by the Administrative Agent in the notice, without any further action or consent of the Borrowers or the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 pm Eastern time on the Objection Date, written notice of objection to the Alternate Rate from the Required Lenders. If, on the date the Benchmark actually becomes permanently unavailable pursuant to a Benchmark Transition Event, an Alternate Rate has not been established in this manner, Advances will, until an Alternate Rate is so established, bear interest at the “prime rate” as publicly announced by the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the Alternate Rate be less than 1.00%.

2.6. Letters of Credit. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein and in Annex A, Borrowers shall have the right to request, and Lenders agree to incur, or purchase participations in, Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of Borrowers and its Subsidiaries.

2.7. General Provisions Regarding Payment. Borrowers shall make each payment under this Agreement not later than 2:00 p.m. (Indianapolis, Indiana) on the day when due in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Collection Account. For purposes of computing interest and Fees and determining Borrowing Availability as of any date, all payments shall be deemed received on the Business Day on which immediately available funds therefor are received in the Collection Account prior to noon Indianapolis, Indiana time. Payments received in the Collection Account after noon Indianapolis, Indiana time on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day so long as such funds are available funds. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s deposit accounts maintained with the Administrative Agent for the amounts from time to time necessary to pay any then due Obligations; provided that each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be under an obligation to do so and the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to any Borrower or any other Person for the Administrative Agent’s failure to do so.

2.8. Loan Account. Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books in accordance with the Register to record all Advances, all payments made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Advances or any other Obligations. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded on Agent’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders by Borrowers; provided, that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations. Agent shall render to Borrowers a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to the Advances setting forth the balance of the Loan Account for the immediately preceding month. Each and every such accounting shall be presumptive evidence of all matters reflected therein absent manifest error.

2.9. Taxes.

(a) Gross-up for Taxes. All payments of principal and interest on the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then the applicable Loan Party will (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted, (ii) promptly forward to Agent and any applicable Lender an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Agent or such Lender evidencing such payment to such authority, and (iii) if the Tax is an Indemnified Tax, pay to Agent for the account of Agent and each applicable Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Agent and each Lender will equal the full amount Agent and such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. If any Indemnified Taxes are directly asserted against Agent or any Lender (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to a payment received hereunder or any other Loan Document or with respect to, or arising from, the obligations of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document, the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify Agent or such Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Agent or such Lender and any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ or tax advisor fees and expenses), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

(b) Interest and Penalties. If any Borrower or any other applicable Loan Party fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent, for the account of Agent and the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify Agent and Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties and reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and tax advisor fees and expenses) that may become payable by Agent or any Lender (or any of its Affiliates) as a result of any such failure.

(c) Withholding Documentation. Each Lender that is organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States and is a party hereto on the Closing Date or purports to become an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 12.6(a) after the Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) (each such Lender a “Foreign Lender”) shall execute and deliver to each of Borrowers and Agent (as Borrowers or Agent may reasonably request) one or more United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or W-8IMY (with applicable attachment), as applicable, and other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by Agent certifying as to such Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding or deduction of U.S. federal withholding Taxes. Each Lender that is a U.S. Person on the Closing Date or purports to become an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 12.6(a) after the Closing Date (unless such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) shall execute and deliver to each of Borrowers and Agent (as Borrowers or Agent may reasonably request) one or more United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. In addition, if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrowers and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(d) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.9 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.9(d)), it shall, so long as no Event of Default is occurring, pay to Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender, Agent or their respective Affiliates and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Loan Parties, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such Lender or Agent the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender, Agent or their respective Affiliates is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.9(d), in no event will any Lender or Agent be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) the payment of which would place such Person (or its Affiliates) in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Person (or its Affiliates) would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.9(d) shall not be construed to require any Lender, Agent, or their Affiliates to make available its respective Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to a Loan Party or any other Person.

(e) Usage of Terms. For the purposes of this Section 2.9 and the definitions of Excluded Tax, Indemnified Tax, Taxes, and Other Taxes used therein, “Lender” means any Lender, Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer, and, subject to Section 12.6(b), any Participant.

2.10. Capital Adequacy; Increased Costs.

(a) If any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender shall reasonably determine that any Change in Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law, then from time to time, upon demand by such Lender, Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction.

(b) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Administrative Agent, or any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate); or

(ii) impose on the Administrative Agent, or any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender or any Letter of Credit; or

(iii) subject the Administrative Agent, the or any Lender to any Taxes other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, and (B) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, Excluded Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, or such Lender of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance) or to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, or such Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, or such Lender, hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to the Administrative Agent, or such Lender, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(c) If the Administrative Agent, or any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Administrative Agent, or such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of or the Advances made by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by a Lender, to a level below that which the Administrative Agent, or any Lender or their respective holding companies would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such party’s policies and the policies of such party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to the Administrative Agent, or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent, or such Lender or their respective holding companies for any such reduction suffered.

(d) A certificate of the Administrative Agent, or any Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate it or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent, or such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate the Administrative Agent, or any Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that the Administrative Agent, or any applicable Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.11. Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or requires Borrowers to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.9, then, upon the written request of Borrowers, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder (subject to the provisions of Section 12.6) to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to any such Section, as the case may be, in the future, (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, and (c) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (as determined in its sole discretion). Without limitation of the provisions of Section 10.1, Borrowers hereby agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

2.12. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 12.5(d).

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 9 of this Agreement or otherwise) or received by Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to a right of setoff available with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Agreement; fourth, as Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Agent; fifth, if so determined by Agent and Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Line Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee (other than its portion of the Letter of Credit Fee) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive its portion of the Letter of Credit Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

(C) With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Line Advances that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Line Advances shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. Subject to Section 12.17, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Advances. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Advances in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrowers, Agent and each Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitments (without giving effect to paragraph (a)(iv) above), whereupon, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Swing Line Advances/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swing Line Lender shall be required to fund any Swing Line Advances unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Advance and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, increase, reinstate or renew any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

2.13. Termination of Defaulting Lender. Borrowers may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.12(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim Borrowers, Agent, any L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

2.14. Notes. Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”). In such event, Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by Agent. Thereafter, subject to Section 2.8, the Advances evidenced by such Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.6) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if any such Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

3.2. Organization and Authorization; No Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the borrowings hereunder, the execution and delivery of all of the other Loan Documents and the performance by each Loan Party of its obligations under this Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents are within the organizational powers of such Loan Party, have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action, have received any required governmental or regulatory agency approvals and do not and will not contravene or conflict with any provision of law other than such contravention or conflict that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or of the Organizational Documents of such Loan Party or of any agreement binding upon such Loan Party other than such contravention or conflict that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

3.3. Binding Effect. Each of the Loan Documents to which any Loan Party is a party constitutes a valid and binding agreement or instrument of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

3.6. Litigation.

3.7. Ownership of Property. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary is the lawful owner of, has good and marketable title to and is in lawful possession of, or has valid leasehold interests in, all properties and other assets (real or personal, tangible, intangible or mixed) purported or reported to be owned or leased (as the case may be) by such Person, except as may have been disposed of in the Ordinary Course of Business or otherwise in compliance with the terms hereof.

Hours worked and payments made to the employees of the Loan Parties and the Subsidiaries have not been in material violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (Ontario) or any other applicable Law dealing with such matters. All payments due from the Loan Parties and the Subsidiaries, or for which any material claim may be made against any of them, on account of wages and employee and retiree health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on their books, as the case may be. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound.

None of the proceeds from the Advances have been or will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose which could reasonably be expected to cause any of the Advances to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

3.12. Compliance With Laws; Anti-Terrorism Laws.

(a) Laws Generally. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all applicable Laws.

(b) Foreign Assets Control Regulations and Anti-Money Laundering.

3.14. Compliance with ERISA.

(a) ERISA Plans. Each ERISA Plan (and the related trusts and funding agreements) complies in form and in operation with, has been administered in compliance with, and the terms of each ERISA Plan satisfy the requirements of, applicable Law including ERISA and the IRC in all material respects. Each ERISA Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC is so qualified, and the IRS has issued a favorable determination or opinion letter with respect to each such ERISA Plan which may be relied on currently. No Loan Party or any Subsidiary has incurred liability for any material excise tax under any of Sections 4971 through 5000A of the IRC.

(b) Pension Plans and Multiemployer Plans. During the thirty-six (36) month period prior to the Closing Date or the making of any Advance or the issuance of any Letter of Credit, (i) no steps have been taken to terminate any Pension Plan that could reasonably be expected to result in a material payment liability to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary and (ii) no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a Lien under ERISA or the IRC. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any ERISA Plan or Multiemployer Plan which could result in the incurrence by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any material liability, fine, Tax or penalty. No Loan Party or any Subsidiary has incurred liability to the PBGC (other than for current premiums) with respect to any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a material payment liability to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, all contributions (if any) have been made on a timely basis to any Multiemployer Plan that are required to be made by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate under the terms of the plan or of any collective bargaining agreement or by applicable Law. No Loan Party, Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has withdrawn or partially withdrawn from any Multiemployer Plan, incurred any withdrawal liability with respect to any such plan or received notice of any claim or demand for withdrawal liability or partial withdrawal liability from any such plan, and no condition has occurred which, if continued, could result in a withdrawal or partial withdrawal from any such plan. No Loan Party, Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has received any notice with respect to any Multiemployer Plan, that increased contributions may be required to avoid a reduction in plan benefits or the imposition of any excise Tax, that any such plan is or has been funded at a rate less than that required under Section 412 of the IRC, that any such plan is or may be terminated, or that any such plan is or may become insolvent.

For any Canadian Pension Plan hereafter adopted or contributed to by a Canadian Loan Party which is required to be registered under the ITA or any other applicable laws, such Canadian Loan Party shall use its best efforts to seek and receive confirmation in writing from the applicable regulatory authorities to the effect that such plan is unconditionally registered under the ITA and such other applicable laws. For any existing Canadian Pension Plan and Canadian Benefit Plan hereafter adopted or contributed to by a Canadian Loan Party, such Canadian Loan Party shall in a timely fashion perform in all material respects all obligations (including fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations) required to be performed in connection with such plan and the funding therefore.

3.15. Brokers. Except for fees contractually incurred by a Loan Party or Affiliate of a Loan Party and payable in full on or prior to the Closing Date, no Loan Party or Affiliate of a Loan Party has any obligation to any broker, finder or other intermediary in respect of any finder’s or brokerage fees in connection with any Loan Document.

3.16. Material Contracts. No Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement to which it is a party, which default would reasonably be expected to cause or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Hazardous Materials. Except in each case as set forth on Schedule 3.17, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, (i) no Hazardous Materials are located on any properties now or previously owned, leased or operated by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or have been released into the environment, or deposited, discharged, placed or disposed of at, on, under or near any of such properties in a manner that would require the taking of any action under any Environmental Law and have given rise to, or could reasonably be expected to give rise to, remediation costs and expenses on the part of the Loan Parties in excess of $250,000; (ii) no portion of any such property is being used for the disposal, storage, treatment, processing or other handling of Hazardous Materials in violation of any Environmental Law nor is any such property affected by any Hazardous Materials Contamination; and (iii) all oral or written notifications of a release of Hazardous Materials required to be filed by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary under any applicable Environmental Law have been filed or are in the process of being timely filed by or on behalf of the applicable Loan Party or Subsidiary.

(d) Underground Storage Tanks. Except in each case as set forth on Schedule 3.17, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, there are no underground storage tanks located on any property owned or leased by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary that are not properly registered or permitted under applicable Environmental Laws or that are leaking or disposing of Hazardous Materials.

(e) Environmental Liens. Except in each case as set forth on Schedule 3.17, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, there are no Liens under or pursuant to any applicable Environmental Laws on any real property or other assets owned or leased by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, and no actions by any Governmental Authority have been taken or are in process which could subject any of such properties or assets to such Liens.

For purposes of this Section 3.17, each Loan Party and each Subsidiary shall be deemed to include any business or business entity (including a corporation) which is, in whole or in part, a predecessor of such Loan Party.

3.18. Intellectual Property. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.18, each Loan Party owns, is licensed to use or otherwise has the right to use, all Intellectual Property that is material to the condition (financial or other), business or operations of such Loan Party. All Intellectual Property of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries existing as of the Closing Date and registered with any United States, Canadian or other foreign Governmental Authority is set forth on Schedule 3.18. All Intellectual Property of each Loan Party is fully protected and/or duly and properly registered, filed or issued in the appropriate office and jurisdictions for such registrations, filings or issuances.

3.20. Full Disclosure. None of the information (financial or otherwise) furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary to Agent or any Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents or in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made. All Projections delivered to Agent and Lenders have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions stated therein. Such Projections represent the Loan Parties’ best estimate of the future financial performance of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and such assumptions are believed by the Loan Parties to be fair and reasonable in light of current business conditions; provided, that the Loan Parties can give no assurance that such Projections will be attained.

(d) During the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by each Loan Party at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to a Borrower (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (i) balances held by such Lender or any of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Affiliates at any of its offices for the account of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Loan Party or Subsidiary), and (ii) other property at any time held or owing by such Lender or any of such Lender’s Affiliates to or for the credit or for the account of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, against and on account of any of the Obligations; except that no Lender or any of such Lender’s Affiliates shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Agent. Any Lender exercising a right to set off (including through an Affiliate) shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share of the Obligations. Each Loan Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that any Lender or any of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Affiliates may exercise its right to set off with respect to the Obligations as provided in this Section 9.2.

9.3. Application of Proceeds.

(a) As to Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Agent from or on behalf of any Borrower or any Guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between the Loan Parties on the one hand and Agent and Lenders on the other, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Agent.

(b) After Application Event. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but absent the occurrence and continuance of an Application Event, Agent shall apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations, and any and all Proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, in such order as Agent may from time to time elect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if an Application Event shall have occurred, and so long as it continues, Agent shall apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations, and any and all Proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, in the following order: first, to all Fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to Agent with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral; second, to all Fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to any Lender with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and/or Canadian Insolvency Laws, as applicable, would have accrued on such amounts); fourth, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding and Obligations owing to any Eligible Swap Counterparty in respect of any Rate Contract, but excluding any Obligations owing in respect of any Bank Products; fifth, to the Obligations owing in respect of any Bank Products; sixth, to provide cash collateral to secure any and all Letter of Credit Obligations and future payment of related Fees, as provided for in Annex A; seventh to any other indebtedness or obligations of any Loan Party owing to Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents; and eighth, to Obligations owing to any Eligible Swap Counterparty in respect of any Swap Contracts other than a Rate Contract.

(c) Residuary. Any balance remaining after giving effect to the applications set forth in this Section 9.3 shall be delivered to Borrowers or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out any of the applications set forth in this Section 9.3, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until paid in full prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment or cash collateral in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.

9.4. Actions in Concert. For the sake of clarity, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent or Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

9.5. Waivers by Loan Parties. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or by applicable Law, each Loan Party waives: (a) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which any Loan Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Agent may do in this regard, (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Agent’s taking possession or control of, or to Agent’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, the Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any of its remedies, and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal, marshaling and exemption Laws.

11.

AGENT

11.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to enter into each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (other than this Agreement) on its behalf and to take such actions as Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the terms of Section 12.5 and to the terms of the other Loan Documents, Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on behalf of Lenders. The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties and neither Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower or any other Loan Party. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, by or through its own agents or employees.

11.2. Agent and Affiliates. Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Agent, and Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, provide Bank Products to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of business with each Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party as if it were not Agent hereunder.

11.3. Action by Agent; Actions through Sub-Agents. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or other Person. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent. Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 11 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Persons of Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

11.4. Consultation with Experts. Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

11.5. Liability of Agent. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Loan Documents, except that Agent shall be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder, but only to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge thereof as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder or the contents of any certificate, financial statement or other report or document delivered under or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified in any Loan Document, (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document, any Lien purported to be created or perfected thereby or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith, (v) the existence or non-existence of any Default or Event of Default; or (vi) the financial condition of any Loan Party or the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral. Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile or electronic transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

11.6. Indemnification. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid to Agent under Sections 10.1 or 10.2 (but without affecting the Loan Parties’ reimbursement and indemnification obligation hereunder), each Lender shall, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, pay to Agent such Lender’s portion of such unpaid amount (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share at such time). If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by Required Lenders until such additional indemnity is furnished.

11.7. Right to Request and Act on Instructions. Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from Required Lenders or all or such other portion of Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of Lenders), Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable Law or exposes Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6.

11.8. Credit Decision. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer represents to Agent that it has, has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, such lender's compliance with section 510 of the Bank Act (Canada) in entering into and performing its obligations under this Agreement), and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder.

11.9. Collateral Matters. Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to (i) release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Collateral Document (A) upon termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations, the expiration, termination or cash collateralization (to the satisfaction of Agent) of all Letter of Credit Obligations and, to the extent required by Agent in its sole discretion, the expiration, termination or cash collateralization (to the satisfaction of Agent) of all Rate Contract Obligations and all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness in respect of Bank Products in each case secured, in whole or in part, by any Collateral, or (B) constituting property sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under any Loan Document (it being understood and agreed that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in full compliance with the provisions of the Loan Documents), (ii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents (A) upon termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations, the expiration, termination or cash collateralization (to the satisfaction of Agent) of all Letter of Credit Obligations and, to the extent required by Agent in its sole discretion, the expiration, termination or cash collateralization (to the satisfaction of Agent) of all Rate Contract Obligations and all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness in respect of Bank Products in each case secured, in whole or in part, by any Collateral, or (B) upon such Guarantor ceasing to be a Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction permitted by this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the sale or other disposition being made in full compliance with the provisions of the Loan Documents), and (iii) release or subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Collateral Document constituting property described in Section 5.7(c) (it being understood and agreed that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the identification of any property described in Section 5.7(c)). Upon request by Agent at any time, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will confirm Agent’s authority to release and/or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.9.

11.10. Agency for Perfection. Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Code and the PPSA 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, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Collateral Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Advances unless instructed to do so by Agent (or consented to by Agent, as provided in Section 9.2(d)), it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent.

11.11. Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify each Lender 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 Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) in accordance with the terms hereof. 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 interests of Lenders.

11.12. Successor Agent.

(a) Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender, and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, to appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder and notice of such acceptance to the retiring Agent, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall become immediately effective and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (if such resignation was not already effective and such duties and obligations not already discharged, as provided below in this paragraph). The Fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrowers and such successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender (but without any obligation) appoint a successor Agent, which appointment shall not be subject to consent by Required Lenders or any Loan Party. From and following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Agent shall have the exclusive right, upon one (1) Business Days’ notice to Borrowers and Lenders, to make its resignation effective immediately. From and following the effectiveness of such notice, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of any retiring Agent and its sub-agents after the effectiveness of its resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (x) while the retiring Agent was acting or was continuing to act as Agent and (y) after such resignation for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the holders of the Obligations and in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Agent.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time Agent assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to (and in accordance with) the terms and conditions hereof, Agent may terminate Borrowers’ ability to request Swing Line Advances. In the event of such termination: (i) Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint another Lender to act as the successor Swing Line Lender hereunder (with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s consent); provided, however, that the failure of Borrowers to appoint a successor shall not affect the resignation of Agent as the Swing Line Lender; and (ii) Agent shall retain all of the rights of the maker of Swing Line Advances provided hereunder with respect to Swing Line Advances made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such termination, including the right to require Lenders to make Revolving Loans or fund participations in outstanding Swing Line Advances pursuant to Section 2.3.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time Agent assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to (and in accordance with) the terms and conditions hereof, Agent may terminate its commitment pursuant to Section 2.6 to issue Letters of Credit. In the event of such termination: (i) Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint another Lender to act as the successor L/C Issuer hereunder (with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s consent); provided, however, that the failure of Borrowers to appoint a successor shall not affect the resignation of Agent as the L/C Issuer; and (ii) Agent shall retain all of the rights of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such termination, including the right to require Lenders to fund their Pro Rata Share of such Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.6.

11.13. Disbursements of Term Loan and Revolving Credit Advances; Payment and Sharing of Payment.

(a) Funding of Term Loan on Closing Date; Revolving Credit Advances, Payments and Settlements; Interest and Fee Payments.

(i) Each Term Loan Lender shall remit to Agent the amount of the Term Loan to be advanced by such Term Loan Lender to Borrowers on the Closing Date, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on or prior to 4:00 p.m. (Indianapolis, Indiana time) on the Closing Date or such other time after 4:00 p.m. (Indianapolis, Indiana time) on the Closing Date as determined by Agent in Agent’s sole discretion. Agent shall be conclusively entitled to assume, for purposes of the preceding sentence, that each Lender will fund its Pro Rata Share of all Revolving Credit Advances requested by a Borrower. Each Lender shall reimburse Agent on demand, in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following paragraph, for all funds disbursed on its behalf by Agent pursuant to the first and second sentences of this clause (i), or if Agent so requests, each Lender will remit to Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Credit Advance before Agent disburses the same to Borrowers. If Agent elects to require that each Lender make funds available to Agent, prior to a disbursement by Agent to Borrowers, Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone, facsimile or e‑mail of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Advance requested by Borrowers no later than noon (Indianapolis, Indiana time) on the date of funding of such Revolving Credit Advance, and each such Lender shall pay Agent on such date such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of such requested Revolving Credit Advance, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Agent’s account specified by Agent to Lenders from time to time. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share within 1 Business Day after Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers, and Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Any repayment required by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment at the rate of interest then applicable to Revolving Credit Advances. Nothing in this Section 11.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Agent or Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(ii) On a Business Day of each week as selected from time to time by Agent, or more frequently (including daily), if Agent so elects (each such day being a “Settlement Date”), Agent will advise each Lender by telephone, facsimile or e‑mail of the amount of each such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s percentage interest of the Revolving Credit Advance balance as of the close of business of the Business Day immediately preceding the Settlement Date. In the event that payments are necessary to adjust the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s actual percentage interest of the Revolving Credit Advances balance to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s required percentage interest of the Revolving Credit Advances balance as of any Settlement Date, the party from which such payment is due shall pay Agent, without setoff or discount, to Agent’s account specified by Agent to Lenders from time to time not later than 3:00 p.m. (Indianapolis, Indiana time) on the Business Day following the Settlement Date the full amount necessary to make such adjustment. Any obligation arising pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever. In the event settlement shall not have occurred by the date and time specified in the second preceding sentence, interest shall accrue on the unsettled amount at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first three (3) days following the scheduled date of settlement, and thereafter at the Applicable Rate for Revolving Credit Advances.

(iii) On the Closing Date, Agent, on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, may elect to advance to Borrowers the full amount of the Advances to be made on the Closing Date prior to receiving funds from Lenders, in reliance upon each ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s commitment to make its Pro Rata Share of such Advances to Borrowers in a timely manner on such date. If Agent elects to advance such Advances to Borrowers in such manner, Agent shall be entitled to receive all interest that accrues on the Closing Date on each ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of such Advances unless Agent receives such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of such Advances on the Closing Date.

(iv) The provisions of this Section 11.13(a) shall be deemed to be binding upon Agent and Lenders notwithstanding the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, or any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding pertaining to Borrowers or any other Loan Party.

(b) Return of Payments.

(i) 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 Borrowers and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will 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.

(ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrowers 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 Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will 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 Borrowers or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(c) Defaulting Lenders. The failure of any Defaulting Lender to make any Advances or any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Advances or payment, but neither any other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make Advances or make any other payment required hereunder.

(d) Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Advance (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 2.10) in excess of its pro rata share of payments entitled pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 11.13, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in extensions of credit made by such other Lenders (without recourse, representation or warranty) as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter required to be returned or otherwise recovered from such purchasing Lender, such portion of such purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such return or recovery, without interest. Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this clause (d) may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 9) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this clause (d) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of Lenders entitled under this clause (d) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

11.16. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Law, Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify Agent (to the extent that Agent has not already been reimbursed by a Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

11.17. Agent May File Proof of Claim.

(a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance or any Revolving Exposure 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 a Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances or the Revolving Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders, Swing Line Lender and Agent and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders, Swing Line Lender and Agent under Section 10.1) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

(b) Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Swing Line Lender to make such payments to Agent and, if Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders and Swing Line Lender, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under Section 10.1.

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

11.18. Agent in Individual Capacity. First Merchants Bank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire Stock in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Document as though First Merchants Bank were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other Lenders. The other Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into an agreement regarding Bank Products, each provider of Bank Products shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, First Merchants Bank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Loan Parties or their Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of a Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders (or providers of Bank Products), and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into an agreement regarding Bank Products, each provider of Bank Products shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include First Merchants Bank in its individual capacity.

11.20. Acknowledgments Regarding Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby agrees that (x) if Agent notifies such Lender or such L/C Issuer that Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or such L/C Issuer from Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or such L/C Issuer (whether or not known to such Lender or such L/C Issuer), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or such L/C Issuer to the date such amount is repaid to Agent at the Federal Funds Rate, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of Agent to any Lender or such L/C Issuer under this Section 11.20 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or a L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

11.21. Appointment of Hypothecary Representative. Without limiting the powers of the Agent, for the purposes of holding any hypothec granted to the Attorney (as defined below) pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure the payment and performance of any and all Obligations by any Loan Party, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative of the creditors as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec (in such capacity, the “Attorney”), and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any related deed of hypothec.

Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Attorney as the person acting as hypothecary representative holding the aforesaid hypothecs as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity. The substitution of the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.21 hereof also constitutes the substitution of the Attorney.

12.

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1. Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in every other Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of Sections 2.9, 2.10 and 2.11 and Sections 10, 11 and 12 shall survive the payment of the Obligations (both with respect to any Lender and all Lenders collectively) and any termination of this Agreement.

12.2. No Waivers. No failure or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein and therein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law. Any reference in any Loan Document to the “continuing” nature of any Event of Default shall not be construed as establishing or otherwise indicating that any Borrower or any other Loan Party has the independent right to cure any such Event of Default, but is rather presented merely for convenience should such Event of Default be waived in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents.

12.3. Notices.

(a) All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including prepaid overnight courier, e‑mail, electronic submissions or similar writing, but not facsimile transmission (except by Agent with respect to operational or administrative matters)) and shall be given to such party at its address or e‑mail address set forth on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of any such Lender who becomes a Lender after the date hereof, in an Assignment Agreement or in a notice delivered to a Borrower and Agent by the assignee Lender forthwith upon such assignment) or at such other address or e‑mail address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to Agent and a Borrower; provided, that notices, requests or other communications shall be permitted by e‑mail or other electronic submissions only in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3(b). Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by e‑mail or other electronic submissions, as set forth in Section 12.3(c) or (ii) if given by mail, prepaid overnight courier or any other means, when received at the applicable address specified by this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and for the avoidance of any doubt, notices, requests and other communications delivered by facsimile transmission do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 12.3.

(b) Notices and other communications to the parties hereto may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e‑mail and Internet or intranet websites); provided, that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to notices sent directly to any party hereto if such party has notified Agent that it has elected not to receive notices by electronic communication (which election may be limited to particular notices) and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or any notices regarding request for advances hereunder shall be delivered or furnished by Borrowers by electronic communication in accordance with all procedures established by or otherwise acceptable to Agent from time to time in its sole discretion.

(c) Unless Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e‑mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e‑mail or other written acknowledgment), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e‑mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided, that if any such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during normal business hours, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

12.4. Severability. In case any provision of or obligation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

12.5. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) General Provisions. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letter) may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by Borrowers, Agent and Required Lenders (and, if any amendment, waiver or other modification would increase a Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, by such Lender); provided, that no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, unless signed or otherwise approved in writing by Agent, Borrowers and all Lenders directly affected thereby, (A) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or any Fees with respect to any Advance or Reimbursement Obligation or forgive any principal, interest or Fees with respect to any Advance or Reimbursement Obligation, (B) postpone the date fixed for, or waive, any payment (other than a payment pursuant to Section 2.2(b)) of principal of any Advance, or of any Reimbursement Obligation or of interest on any Advance or any Reimbursement Obligation or any Fees hereunder or postpone the date of termination of the commitment of any Lender hereunder, (C) change the definition of the term Required Lenders or the percentage of Lenders which shall be required for Lenders to take any action hereunder, (D) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, authorize any Borrower or any other Loan Party to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantors, except, in each case with respect to this clause (D), as otherwise may be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder and including as provided in Section 11.9) in each case as in effect on the Closing Date), (E) modify Section 9.3 or 11.13(d) or any other provision providing for the pro rata sharing of payments, (F) amend, waive or otherwise modify this Section 12.5(a) or the definitions of the terms used in this Section 12.5(a) insofar as the definitions affect the substance of this Section 12.5(a); (G) consent to the assignment, delegation or other transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document or release any Borrower or any other Loan Party of its payment obligations under any Loan Document, except, in each case with respect to this clause (G), pursuant to a merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other transaction permitted pursuant to this Agreement; (H) (i) subordinate or have the effect of subordinating any of the Obligations to any other Indebtedness or (ii) subordinate or have the effect of subordinating the Liens securing any of the Obligations on the Collateral to any other Lien securing any other Indebtedness; (I) amend the Agreement to add definitions of “restricted subsidiary”, “unrestricted subsidiary”, or any related or similar definitions or any other provision related thereto without the written consent of each Lender; or (J) amend or waive the definition of “Eligible Assignee” or any other provision in a manner that would permit the assignment of Loans to any Loan Party or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries. It is hereby understood and agreed that all Lenders shall be deemed directly affected by an amendment, waiver or other modification of the type described in the preceding clauses (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), (I) and (J) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of Borrowers and Agent) if upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Revolving Loan Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9, Section 10.1, Section 10.2 and Section 11.13(d)), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist (and shall be deemed to be continuing) until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.5 notwithstanding (i) any attempted cure or other action taken by any Borrower or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any Lender prior to or subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default (other than the granting of a waiver in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section).

Without limitation of the provisions of the preceding Section 12.5(a), no amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by Agent and Lenders (or by Agent with the consent of the Lenders): (i) amend or modify the definitions of Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory or Borrowing Base, including any increase in the percentage advance rates in the definition of Borrowing Base, in a manner which would increase the availability of credit under the Revolving Loan Commitment or (ii) amend or waive the conditions set forth in Section 8.2.

No amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, in addition to the Required Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby, as the case may be (or by Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders directly affected thereby, as the case may be), affect the rights or duties of Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(d) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be, or have its Advances and Revolving Loan Commitments, included in the determination of “Required Lenders”, or “Lenders directly affected” pursuant to this Section 12.5) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document, except that a Defaulting Lender shall be treated as an “affected Lender” solely with respect to an increase in or extension of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments, a reduction of the principal amount owed to such Defaulting Lender or, unless such Defaulting Lender is treated the same as the other Lenders holding Advances of the same type, a reduction in the interest rates applicable to the Advances held by such Defaulting Lender, and any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. Moreover, for the purposes of determining Required Lenders, the Advances and Revolving Loan Commitments held by Defaulting Lenders shall be excluded from the total Advances and Revolving Loan Commitments outstanding.

(e) Certain Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.5, (i) Agent may amend Annex C to reflect any assignments entered into pursuant to Section 12.6, and (ii) Agent and Borrowers may amend or modify this Agreement and any other Loan Document to (1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein, and (2) grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties, extend an existing Lien over additional property for the benefit of the Secured Parties or join additional Persons as Loan Parties; provided, that no Accounts or Inventory of such Person shall be included as Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory until a field examination (and, if required by Agent, an Inventory appraisal) with respect thereto has been completed to the satisfaction of Agent, including the establishment of Reserves required in Agent’s Permitted Discretion.

(f) Eligible Swap Counterparty and Bank Product Consent Rights. Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.5, no waiver, amendment or other modification to this Agreement shall, unless signed by each Eligible Swap Counterparty and each provider of Bank Products then in existence, modify the provisions of Section 9.3 in any manner adverse to the interests of each such Eligible Swap Counterparty and/or such provider of Bank Products.

(g) Correction of Errors. Each Loan Party and each of the Lenders hereby authorizes Agent to (i) correct any patent (or scrivener’s) errors or other erroneous content in the Loan Documents, (ii) date any dates and fill in any blanks or other missing content in any of the Loan Documents, and (iii) replace or substitute pages, as applicable, in each Loan Document that were changed to correct such errors or fill in such dates, missing content or blanks (each a “Corrected Document”), in each case, without the need for a written amendment signed by the parties; provided that Agent shall send a copy of any such Corrected Document to Loan Parties and the Lenders (which copy may be given by electronic mail). Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, each Borrower further covenants that it shall, and shall cause each of the other Loan Parties to, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged or delivered (or, as applicable, re-execute, re-acknowledge and re-deliver), (A) each agreement, instrument or other document that was incorrectly drafted and signed at the Closing Date and (B) all such further assurances and other agreements, instruments or documents, and take or cause to be taken all such other actions, as Agent shall request from time to time to permit Agent to evidence or give effect to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including to perfect (or continue the perfection of) and protect Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral, and shall take such other action as may be requested by Agent to give effect to or carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

12.6. Assignments; Participations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Assignments.

(i) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Advances and interest in the Revolving Loan Commitments, together with all related obligations of such Lender hereunder. Except as Agent may otherwise agree, the amount of any such assignment (determined as of the date of the applicable Assignment Agreement or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in such Assignment Agreement, as of such Trade Date) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000 or, if less, the assignor’s entire interests in the Revolving Loan Commitments and outstanding Advances; provided, that, in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Affiliates or Approved Funds, such Affiliates and Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignee for purposes of determining compliance with the minimum assignment size referred to above. Borrowers and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Eligible Assignee until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, such other information regarding such Eligible Assignee as Agent reasonably shall require and a processing fee of $3,500; provided, only one processing fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Affiliates and Approved Funds.

100

(ii) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (A) such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent of the interests assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights and obligations hereunder (other than those that survive termination pursuant to Section 12.1). Upon the request of the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) Notes in the aggregate principal amount of the Eligible Assignee’s percentage interest in the Revolving Loan Commitment and the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan (and, as applicable, Notes in the principal amount of that portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment and the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan retained by the assigning Lender). Upon receipt by the assigning Lender of such promissory note, the assigning Lender shall return to Borrowers any prior promissory note, if any, held by it.

(iii) Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at its offices located in Indianapolis, Indiana, a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amount and stated interest of the Advances owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to Agent. It is intended that the Register be maintained such that the Advances are in “registered form” for the purposes of the IRC.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.6(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

101

(b) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or Agent, sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Advances, commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) each Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations hereunder, and (iii) all amounts payable by a Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender, provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower hereby agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.10 (subject to the requirements and limitations set forth in Section 2.11) and the requirements under Section 2.9 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.9 shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 12.6; provided, further, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Law, regulation ruling, treaty or other action or doctrine of a Governmental Authority that occurs after the date the Participant acquired the applicable participation. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 12.5 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and with respect to any Letter of Credit to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided, that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with Lenders, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 9.2(d). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c) Replacement of Lenders.

In the event Borrowers or Agent, as applicable, obtains a Replacement Lender within ninety (90) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell, at par, and assign all of its Advances and funding commitments hereunder to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 12.6(a); provided, that (A) Borrowers shall have, as applicable, reimbursed such Lender for its increased costs and additional payments for which it is entitled to reimbursement under any of Sections 2.9 or 2.10, as applicable, of this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment and (B) Borrowers shall pay to Agent the $3,500 processing fee in respect of such assignment.

Upon any such assignment and payment, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof, other than with respect to such rights and obligations that survive termination as set forth in Section 12.1.

12.13. Publication; Advertisement.

(a) Publication. No Loan Party will directly or indirectly publish, disclose or otherwise use in any public disclosure, advertising material, promotional material, press release or interview, any reference to the name, logo or any trademark of First Merchants Bank or any of its Affiliates or any reference to this Agreement or the financing evidenced hereby, in any case except (i) as required by Law, subpoena or judicial or similar order, in which case the applicable Loan Party shall give Agent prior written notice of such publication or other disclosure or (ii) with First Merchants Bank’s prior written consent.

(b) Advertisement.

In addition, each Lender and each Loan Party agrees that First Merchants Bank may provide lending industry trade organizations with information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements after the Closing Date. With respect to any of the foregoing, First Merchants Bank shall submit an initial copy of any Publication to the Loan Parties for its prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that First Merchants Bank shall not be required to submit any Publication to the Loan Parties which is substantially similar to a Publication previously approved by any Loan Party.

12.14. Counterparts; Integration; Restatement; Release. (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Signatures by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including “pdf” or “tif” format) shall bind the parties hereto. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Certain Loan Parties and First Merchants Bank entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of May 23, 2024 (as previously amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which First Merchants provided a revolving credit facility to certain Borrowers. This Agreement amends, restates, supersedes and replaces the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety. This Agreement represents in part a renewal of, and is issued in substitution and exchange for, and not in satisfaction or novation of, the Indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem such Indebtedness paid, or to release or terminate any Lien given to secure such Indebtedness or any guaranty thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, all letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall hereafter be deemed issued under this Agreement. All references to the Credit Agreement or words of like import in the other Loan Documents, or any instrument or agreement executed and delivered in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement as it may be further amended, amended and restated, modified or extended. Each Loan Party hereby reaffirms the grant of a Lien in the Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations for the benefit of Lenders and ratifies and reaffirms its continuing liability with respect to the Obligations and under each of the other Loan Documents. The amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default under the Existing Credit Agreement.

105

(b) Each Loan Party represents and warrants that it has no claims, counterclaims, setoffs, actions or causes of actions, damages or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever whether at law or in equity, in contract or in tort, existing as of the Closing Date (collectively, “Borrower Claims”) against Administrative Agent, any Lender, their respective direct or indirect parent corporations or any direct or indirect Affiliates of such parent corporations, or any of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and legal representatives, or the heirs, administrators, successors or assigns of any of them (collectively, “Lender Parties”) that directly or indirectly arise out of, are based upon or are in any manner connected with any Prior Related Event. As an inducement to the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, each Loan Party on behalf of itself, and all of its respective successors and assigns hereby knowingly and voluntarily releases and discharges all Lenders from any and all Borrower Claims, whether known or unknown in existence as of the Closing Date, that directly or indirectly arise out of, are based upon or are in any manner connected with any Prior Related Event. As used herein, the term “Prior Related Event” means any transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act, occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown, which occurred, existed, was taken, permitted or begun (i) at any time prior to the Closing Date and (ii) in accordance with, pursuant to or by virtue of any of the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement or which was related to or connected in any manner, directly or indirectly to the extension of credit represented by the Existing Credit Agreement.

12.15. No Strict Construction. 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 provisions of this Agreement.

12.16. USA PATRIOT Act Notification. Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) and each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record certain information and documentation that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and such other information that will allow Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. The Loan Parties agree to, promptly following a request by Agent or any Lender, provide all such other documentation and information that Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

106

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any applicable Resolution Authority.

12.18. Joinder of Cineplex DM and DDC Group. Upon the consummation of the Cineplex Share Purchase, the signature of Cineplex DM and DDC Group to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party shall be deemed to confirm its agreement to each of the following provisions: Each of Cineplex DM and DDC Group shall, and do hereby, become a Canadian Borrower under this Agreement as if an original signatory thereto, and agree to execute and deliver any such additional agreements, documents and instruments as Agent shall reasonably request. Each of Cineplex DM and DDC Group hereby ratify and confirm their respective obligations under this Agreement, all in accordance with the terms thereof, and shall be deemed to have made each representation and warranty set forth herein to the extent applicable to it (other than any representation or warranty that expressly speaks only of a different date, in which case, it shall be true and correct in all material respects of such other date). Each of Cineplex DM and DDC Group (i) acknowledge and agree that it has been afforded the opportunity to completely read and understand this Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Documents executed in connection therewith; (ii) consent to all of the provisions of this Agreement and the Notes and any other Loan Documents executed in connection therewith relating to Cineplex DM and DDC Group; and (iii) acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party have been freely executed without duress and after an opportunity was provided to it for review by competent legal counsel of its choice.

107

12.19. Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower agrees as follows:

(a) It is jointly and severally, directly, and primarily liable to Lenders for payment in full of the Obligations and that such liability is independent of the duties, obligations and liabilities of each Borrower. This Agreement, the Notes and each other Loan Document are a primary and original obligation of each Borrower, are not the creation of a surety relationship, and are an absolute, unconditional, and continuing promise of payment and performance which shall remain in full force and effect without respect to future changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity with respect to the Loan Documents. Each Borrower acknowledges that the obligations of such Borrower undertaken herein might be construed to consist, at least in part, of the guaranty of obligations of persons or entities other than such Borrower (including any other Borrower party hereto) and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower consents and agrees that Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, whether before or after any actual or purported termination, repudiation, or revocation of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents by any one or more Borrowers, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof as to each Borrower: (i) supplement, restate, modify, amend, increase, decrease, extend, renew, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon; (ii) supplement, restate, modify, amend, increase, decrease or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval, or consent with respect to, the Obligations or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder; (iii) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Obligations or any part thereof; (iv) accept partial payments on the Obligations; (v) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Obligations or any part thereof; (vi) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer, or enforce any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion may determine; (vii) release any Person from any personal liability with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (viii) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Lenders or by operation of applicable laws, or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Obligations and any security therefor or guaranty thereof in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; or (ix) consent to the merger, amalgamation, change, or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate or partnership existence of any Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the Obligations, and any such merger, amalgamation, change, restructuring, or termination shall not affect the liability of any Borrower or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the Obligations.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lenders may enforce this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents independently as to each Borrower and independently of any other remedy or security Lenders at any time may have or hold in connection with the Obligations, and it shall not be necessary for Agent, or any Lender, to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed upon or against or exhaust any security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to require Agent, or any Lender, to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against any other Borrower or any Collateral provided by any Person, and agrees that Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may proceed against Borrowers or any Collateral in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c) Agent may file a separate action or actions against any Borrower, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any security or against any other person, or whether any other person is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower agrees that Agent and any Borrower and any affiliate of any Borrower may deal with each other in connection with the Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the continuing efficacy of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents.

108

(d) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that a Borrower is deemed a guarantor, each Borrower expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (i) any disability or other defense of any other Borrower with respect to the Obligations, (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Obligations or lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations, (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Obligations), (iv) any failure of the Agent to marshal assets in favor of Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, or any Borrower or any other person, (v) any failure of Agent to give notice of sale or other disposition of collateral to any Borrower or any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of collateral, (vi) any failure of Lenders to comply with applicable law in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligations, including any failure of Agent to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligations, (vii) any act or omission of Agent or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any Borrower or the Obligations or any security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (viii) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (ix) any failure of Agent to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person, (x) the election by Agent of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or the equivalent thereof in Canadian Insolvency Laws, as applicable, (xi) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or the equivalent thereof in Canadian Insolvency Laws, as applicable, (xii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or the equivalent thereof in Canadian Insolvency Laws, as applicable, (xiii) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (xiv) the avoidance of any lien in favor of Agent or any Lender for any reason, or (xv) any action taken by Agent or any Lender that is authorized by this Agreement or any other provision of any Loan Document. Until such time as all of the Obligations have been fully, finally, and indefeasibly paid in full in cash: (A) each Borrower hereby waives and postpones any right of subrogation it has or may have as against any other Borrower with respect to the Obligations; and (B) in addition, each Borrower also hereby waives and postpones any right to proceed or to seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of any other Borrower. Each Borrower expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations.

(e) In the event that all or any part of the Obligations at any time are secured by any one or more deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments creating or granting liens on any interests in real property, each Borrower authorizes Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at its sole option, without notice or demand and without affecting the obligations of any Borrower, the enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or the validity or enforceability of any liens of Lenders, to foreclose any or all of such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments by judicial or nonjudicial sale.

(f) Without limiting the generality of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that such Borrower may have because the Obligations is secured by real property. This means, among other things:

(i) Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may collect from any Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property pledged as Collateral by any other Borrower to secure the Obligations.

109

(ii) If Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, forecloses on any real property pledged as Collateral by any Borrower:

(A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and

(B) Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may collect from any Borrower even if Agent, on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, by foreclosing on the real property pledged as Collateral, has destroyed any right that Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Borrower may have because the Obligations is secured by real property.

(g) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the extent that a Borrower is deemed a guarantor, each Borrower expressly waives any defenses to the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any rights of Lenders created or granted hereby or to the recovery by Lenders against any Borrower or any other Person liable therefor of any deficiency after a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale, even though such a foreclosure or sale may impair the subrogation rights of Borrowers and may preclude Borrowers from obtaining reimbursement or contribution from other Borrowers. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower expressly waives any suretyship defenses or benefits that it otherwise might or would have under applicable law. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH BORROWER WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES ARISING OUT OF AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, EVEN THOUGH THAT ELECTION OF REMEDIES, SUCH AS A NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, HAS DESTROYED SUCH ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’S RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION AND REIMBURSEMENT AGAINST THE OTHER BORROWERS BY OPERATION OF LAW.

12.20. Judgment Currency.

(a) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due to the Agent or any Lender in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such Agent or Lender could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given or, if permitted by applicable law, on the day on which the judgment is paid or satisfied.

(b) The obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to the Agent or the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, the Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent in the Original Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment, to indemnify the Agent, against any loss, and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Agent in the Original Currency, the Agent shall remit such excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
