(d)Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing with the Interest Payment Date on March 31, 2019; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection 3.1 shall be payable from time to time on demand in immediately available funds.  With respect to each Cash/PIK Calendar Quarter, the Borrower shall, by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit K (a “Cash/PIK Election Notice”) delivered to the Administrative Agent not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the Interest Payment Date in such Cash/PIK Calendar Quarter (for clarity, the initial Cash/PIK Election Notice would be due forty-five (45) days prior to March 31, 2019), elect whether interest payments for such Cash/PIK Calendar Quarter shall be paid in immediately available funds (the “Cash Option”) or paid in kind and capitalized (the “PIK Option”); provided that if the Borrower fails to deliver a Cash/PIK Election Notice pursuant to the foregoing terms, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected the Cash Option for such Cash/PIK Calendar Quarter.  If the Borrower elects (or is deemed to have elected) the Cash Option with respect to a Cash/PIK Calendar Quarter, all interest payments with respect to such Cash/PIK Calendar Quarter shall be paid in immediately available funds on the applicable Interest Payment Date set forth in this paragraph (d).  If the Borrower elects the PIK option with respect to a Cash/PIK Calendar Quarter, all interest payments with respect to such Cash/PIK Calendar Quarter shall be paid in kind and capitalized on the applicable Interest Payment Date set forth in this paragraph (d) by adding such amount to the outstanding principal amount of

the Loans.  Any capitalized amounts shall thereafter bear interest in accordance with this subsection 3.1.  With respect to the Interest Payment Date on March 31, 2019, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected the PIK Option.

(e)It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is stipulated and agreed that the aggregate of all amounts which constitute interest under applicable usury laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received, in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or any Notes, or any other document relating or referring hereto or thereto, now or hereafter existing, shall never exceed under any circumstance whatsoever the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable usury laws.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, on the last day of any accrual period (as defined in Section 1272(a)(5) of the Code) ending after the fifth anniversary of the issue date (as determined for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) of any Tranche 1 Term Loan, Tranche 2 Term Loan or Tranche 3 Term Loan, as applicable, (x) the aggregate amount that would be includible in income of the Lenders with respect to such Tranche 1 Term Loan, Tranche 2 Term Loan or Tranche 3 Term Loan, as applicable, for periods ending on or before such date (within the meaning of Section 163(i) of the Code) would, but for this paragraph, exceed an amount equal to the sum of (A) the aggregate amount to be paid (within the meaning of Section 163(i) of the Code) under such Loan (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) on or before such day and (B) the product of (i) the issue price (as defined in Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a) of the Code) of such Loan (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) multiplied by (ii) the yield to maturity (interpreted in accordance with Section 163(i) of the Code) of such Loan (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) the Borrower will prepay in cash on such day, without premium or penalty, the minimum amount of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Loan (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) as shall be necessary to prevent any of the accrued and unpaid interest and original issue discount on such Loan (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) from being disallowed or deferred as a deduction under Section 163(e)(5) of the Code to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all such payments shall be made to the Lenders on an equal and ratable basis. Each such prepayment shall be applied to any such Loan (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Total Credit Percentages.  This subsection 3.1(f) is intended to cause the Loans (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) issued hereunder to not be treated as applicable high yield discount obligations within the meaning of Section 163(i) of the Code and shall be interpreted consistent with such intent.

Conversion and Continuation Options

.

(a)The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans from Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior irrevocable written notice of such election by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such day.  The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans from ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior irrevocable written notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of

(b)Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then-current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving written notice to Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance of such continuation (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower that no such continuations may be made or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date, and provided further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this subsection 3.2(b) or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.  Upon receipt of any such written notice of continuation pursuant to this subsection 3.2(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof.

(c)All conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any Loan may be converted or continued in its entirety and (ii) there shall not be more than 3 Interest Periods in any one Tranche at any one time outstanding.  

Minimum Amounts and Borrowings

.  All Borrowings of Loans hereunder shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 and in a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall not be more than 3 Interest Periods in any one Tranche at any one time outstanding.

(ii)each partial prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Tranche of Loans may be prepaid in its entirety; and

(iii)in the case of any prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of any Lender, any amounts required pursuant to subsection 3.12; and

(iv)the prepayment of Loans provided for in this subsection 3.4(a) shall be accompanied by the payment of the premium required by subsection 3.4(i).

Upon the receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof.  Any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked or extended by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied or waived by the Borrower in its sole discretion.  If any such notice is given and is not revoked or extended, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  

(b)If on or after the Closing Date, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall incur Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant to subsection 7.1), then, in each case, the Borrower shall prepay, in accordance with subsections 3.4(e) and (f), the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof, in each case with such prepayment to be made on or before the fifth Business Day following delivery of the notice to the Administrative Agent as required by subsection 3.4(f).  Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this subsection 3.4(b) shall be accompanied by the payment of the premium required by subsection 3.4(i).

(c)(i)[***].

(ii)[***].

(d)The Borrower shall, in accordance with subsections 3.4(e) and 3.4(f), prepay the Loans to the extent required by subsection 7.4(b) (subject to subsection 7.4(a) and (c)).  Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this subsection 3.4(d) shall be accompanied by the payment of the premium required by subsection 3.4(i).

(e)Subject to the last sentence of subsection 3.4(f), each prepayment of Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(b), (c) or (d) shall be allocated pro rata among the Loans.  Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(a) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the respective installments of principal of the Loans.

(f)The Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(b), (c) or (d), within five Business Days of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness or the occurrence of such Royalty Transaction,

50

Collaboration Transaction, Asset Disposition or Recovery Event.  Such notice shall be in writing, shall specify the section of this Agreement pursuant to which such prepayment is being made and shall describe the event that has occurred and state that the Borrower will make such mandatory prepayment (x) on or before the date specified in subsection 3.4(b) or (c), as applicable, or (y) on or before the date specified in subsection 7.4 (any such date of prepayment, a “Prepayment Date”).  Any such notice of prepayment pursuant to subsection 3.4(b) or (d) may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked or extended by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied or waived by the Borrower in its sole discretion.  Subject to the foregoing, once given, such notice shall be irrevocable and all amounts subject to such notice shall be due and payable on the relevant Prepayment Date.  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to each Lender of the prepayment and the relevant Prepayment Date.

(g)Amounts prepaid on account of Loans may not be reborrowed.

(h)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.4, if any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), (b), (c) or (d) would result in the Borrower incurring breakage costs under subsection 3.12 as a result of Eurocurrency Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period, then the Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole discretion, deposit the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans with the Administrative Agent, to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower to make such prepayment, pursuant to a cash collateral agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with such cash collateral to be directly applied to such Eurocurrency Loans upon the end of the then-existing Interest Period (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower); provided that such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with subsection 3.1 until such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans have or has been prepaid.  In addition, if the Borrower reasonably determines in good faith that (i) any Net Available Cash or Net Cash Proceeds attributable to Non-Loan Parties that are required to be applied to prepay Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(b), (c) or (d) would be prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law, then the Borrower shall not be required to prepay an amount equal to the portion of such Net Available Cash or Net Cash Proceeds so affected; provided that the Loan Parties shall take or shall cause the applicable Non-Loan Party to take all commercially reasonable actions to permit repatriation of such cash proceeds and (ii) repatriation of any of or all the Net Available Cash or Net Cash Proceeds would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to all or any part of such cash proceeds, an amount equal to all or such portion of the cash proceeds may be retained by the applicable Non-Loan Party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require any Subsidiary to repatriate cash.

(i)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date the Borrower makes a prepayment pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), (b), (c) or (d), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender, the applicable Prepayment Premium with respect to the principal amount of the Loans so prepaid.  No

premium will be applicable if any such prepayment is made after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date.

(j)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to the Stated Maturity Date, the Prepayment Premium with respect to a prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(a) and the Repayment Premium (in each case, if applicable, and determined as of the date such Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to the Stated Maturity Date) will also be due and payable and shall constitute part of the Loan Document Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof.  Any Prepayment Premium and any Repayment Premium payable in connection with the foregoing sentence shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the acceleration and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing.  The premiums shall also be payable in the event the Loans (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means.  For purposes of the definitions of the terms Applicable Premium and Prepayment Premium, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall be deemed to have been prepaid on the date on which the Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to the Stated Maturity Date. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUMS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION.  The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that:  (A) the foregoing premiums are reasonable and are the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the foregoing premiums shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the foregoing premiums; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.  The Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the foregoing premiums to the Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Loans.

Administrative Agent’s Fee; Other Fees and Premiums

.

(a)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter, without duplication, on the payment dates set forth therein.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lenders the fees set forth in the Lender Fee Letter, without duplication, on the Closing Date.

(b)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a repayment premium (the “Repayment Premium”) equal to 4.0% of the funded principal amount of the Loans (without giving effect to any original issue discount), which repayment premium shall be due and payable on the first date on which the Commitments have been terminated and no Loans are outstanding, whether at maturity, as a result of mandatory or optional prepayment, upon acceleration or otherwise or, if earlier, upon acceleration of the Loans.

(c)In the event that the Product shall have received Regulatory Approval on or prior to December 31, 2020, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, the Regulatory Approval Premium, which Regulatory Approval Premium shall be earned on the date on which the Product shall have received Regulatory Approval and shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the first date on which the Commitments have been terminated and no Loans are outstanding, whether at maturity, as a result of mandatory or optional prepayment, upon acceleration or otherwise and (ii) the Interest Payment Date falling in the first full fiscal quarter of the Borrower following the date on which the Product shall have received Regulatory Approval; provided that the Regulatory Approval Premium shall not be payable in the event the Borrower borrows the full amount of the Tranche 2 Term Loan Commitment in accordance with the terms hereof.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Regulatory Approval Premium shall be payable in the event Payment in Full has occurred prior to the date the Product receives Regulatory Approval.

Computation of Interest and Fees

.

(a)All interest and fees hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366-day year, as the case may be) for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of each determination of an Adjusted LIBOR Rate.  Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Statutory Reserves shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b)Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

Inability to Determine Interest Rate

.  If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (the “Affected Rate”) for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic (or via other previously agreed electronic form) notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders.  If such notice is given (a) any Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based on the Affected Rate requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans and (b) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be made, converted or continued as such.  The foregoing shall apply during the pendency of any negotiation described in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” regarding the replacement of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

Pro Rata Treatment and Payments

.

(a)Each payment (including each prepayment, but excluding payments made pursuant to subsection 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13(d), 3.14, 10.1(f) or 10.6) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Tranche of Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the respective Lenders.  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made on or prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time)), on the due date thereof by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent’s Account, for the account of the Lenders holding the relevant Loans or for the account of the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds (except as otherwise expressly set forth herein).  Payments received by the Administrative Agent after such time may, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments to such Lenders.  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.  If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the date of a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall be under no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower in respect of such Borrowing a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 3.8(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If such Lender’s share of such Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, (x) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder on demand, from the Borrower and (y) then the Borrower may borrow a like amount on an unsecured basis from any commercial bank.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay interest to the Administrative

Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Illegality

.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such Lender provides written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the obligation of such Lender hereunder to make, continue or convert such Affected Loans shall be suspended, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans (with such Lender then having an obligation only to make an ABR Loan when an Affected Loan is requested), and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods or within such earlier period as required by law.  If any such conversion of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12.

Requirements of Law

.

(a)If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, or compliance by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender or the Administrative Agent becomes a Lender or the Administrative Agent):

(i)shall subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (x) Non-Excluded Taxes, (y) Connection Income Taxes and (z) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition 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;

(ii)shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate); or

(iii)shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, such Lender shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, and such certificate shall certify (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describe in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to any additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof.  Such a certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

In any such case, the Borrower may elect to convert the Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of such election, in which case the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.10(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 3.10(a), the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.10(a) (i) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender delivers the certificate provided in this subsection 3.10(a) or (ii) for any amounts, if such Lender is applying this provision to the Borrower in a manner that is inconsistent with its application of “increased cost” or other similar provisions under other syndicated credit agreements to similarly situated borrowers.

(b)If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, and such certificate shall certify that (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (b) has occurred and describe in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction  Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 3.10(b), the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.10(b) (i) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender delivers the aforementioned certificate or

(ii) for any amounts, if such Lender is applying this provision to the Borrower in a manner that is inconsistent with its application of “increased cost” or other similar provisions under other syndicated credit agreements to similarly situated borrowers.

(c)This subsection 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, in each case shall be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable, subsequent to the Closing Date for all purposes herein.

Taxes

.

(a)Payment Free of Taxes.

(i)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law (which for purposes of this Section, includes FATCA).  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Non-Excluded Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this subsection 3.11(a)) the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(ii)The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(iii)The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this subsection 3.11(a)) payable or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or the Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded 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 the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the

Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this subsection 3.11(a), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(v)If any party 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 subsection 3.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 3.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this subsection 3.11 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subparagraph (v) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subparagraph (v), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subparagraph (v) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party 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 paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(vi)Each party’s obligations under this 3.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement if, a Lender, termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(vii)Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to subsection 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements pursuant to this subsection 3.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations herein), provided that in the case of a Participant the obligations of such Participant pursuant to this subsection 3.11 shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender except that such Participant shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(b)Status of Lenders.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (b)(ii), (b)(iii) and (d) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower, any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(4)to the extent Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(5)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(c)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 Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this subparagraph (c), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Indemnity

.  In the event of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (which notice has not been revoked in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement), or (c) the making of a payment or prepayment of or the conversion of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  Such compensation shall be deemed to include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan so prepaid, assigned or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in this subsection 3.12, it shall deliver to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, a certificate certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or (c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such Lender seeks indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof.  Such a certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five Business Days after receipt thereof. This subsection 3.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts

.

(a)Upon the request, and at the expense, of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender to which any additional amount is required to be paid pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall not be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent or such Lender their obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements and any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if the

Administrative Agent or such Lender in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.

(b)If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than pursuant to paragraph (c) below) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under subsection 3.10 or 3.11, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

(c)If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11 or result in Affected Loans or commitments to make Affected Loans being automatically converted to ABR Loans, as the case may be, pursuant to subsection 3.8, such Lender shall promptly after becoming aware of such event or condition notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans held by such Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(d)If (i) any additional amounts shall become payable pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for such payments, (ii) any of the events described in subsection 3.9 result in Affected Loans or commitments to make Affected Loans being automatically converted to ABR Loans, as the case may be, the Borrower shall have the right, (A) to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, and require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with subsection 10.6) all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11), or (B) so long as no Event of Default then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon at least four Business Days’ irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 3.12, without premium or penalty.  In the case of the substitution of a Lender, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to subsection 10.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by subsection 10.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Borrower or the substitute Lender.  In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under subsections 3.10 and 3.11 (as well as any other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts under this subsection 3.13) prior to such substitution or prepayment.  In the

case of the substitution of a Lender, if the Lender being replaced does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to such replaced Lender relating to the Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Lender being replaced, then the Lender being replaced shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Lender.

Defaulting Lenders

(b)the Borrower shall have the right, at its sole expense and effort (i) to seek one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to become a substitute Lender and assume all or part of the Commitment or the Loans of any Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any such substitute Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution or (ii) so long as no Event of Default then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the Loans and, at the Borrower’s option, terminate the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; and

(c)any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection 10.7) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (iv) fourth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (v) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of

any Loans, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans any Defaulting Lender.

(a)Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agents.

(b)Each of the Agents may perform any of its respective duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent (it being understood and agreed, for avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality

102

of the foregoing, that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any of their respective duties under the Security Documents by or through one or more of their respective affiliates).  Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each 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.

(c)Except for subsection 9.5 and subsections 9.8 and 9.9 (to the extent of the Borrower’s rights thereunder and the conditions included therein), the provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

The Administrative Agent and Affiliates

.  Each person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender, or as an Affiliate of a Lender, as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such person and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Action by Agent

.  In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, (a) each Agent shall act solely as an agent for the Lenders and, as applicable, the other Secured Parties, and (b) no Agent assumes any (and shall not be deemed to have assumed any) relationship of agency, fiduciary or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.  Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact (including the Collateral Agent in the case of the Administrative Agent), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel selected by it with reasonable care.

Exculpatory Provisions

.

(a)No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

(i)shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that such

103

Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirement of Law; and

(iii)shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as such Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity.

(b)No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in subsection 8.1 or subsection 10.1, as applicable) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that, no action taken or not taken by any Agent in accordance with the direction of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Agent (for the avoidance of doubt, the preceding proviso shall only serve to limit the liability of an Agent as described therein and the liability of the Required Lenders shall not be limited thereby).  No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice conspicuously identified as a “notice of default” and describing such Default in sufficient detail is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

(c)No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

Acknowledgement and Representation by Lenders

.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender further represents and warrants to the Agents and each of the Loan Parties that it has had the opportunity to review each document made available to it on the Approved Electronic Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof.  Each Lender represents to the Agents and each of

.

Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and pay ratably according to their respective Total Credit Percentages on the date on which the

applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought under this subsection 9.6 such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party hereto or any third party); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) in their capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection 9.6 are subject to the provisions of subsection 3.8.

(b)Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Total Credit Percentages against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

(c)All amounts due under this subsection 9.6 shall be payable not later than three Business Days after demand therefor.  The agreements in this subsection 9.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Right to Request and Act on Instructions

.

(a)Each Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents an Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the requesting Agent shall be absolutely entitled as between itself and the Lenders to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Lender 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 the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of an Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), an Agent shall have no obligation to any Lender to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable law or exposes an Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of subsection 9.6.

(b)Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person.  Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by

telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may or may not be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with such advice.

Withholding Tax

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Loan Document Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under subsections 3.5 and 10.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding;

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the date of recordation in the Register of each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and bound by any related obligations under) subsections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 10.5, and bound by its continuing obligations under subsection 10.16).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this subsection.

(iv)The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent, solely for purposes of this subsection 10.6, to maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and interest and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower (and, solely with respect to entries applicable to such Lender, any Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is a Disqualified Lender.  

(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (unless such assignment is being made in accordance with subsection 3.13(d), subsection 3.14(b) or subsection 10.1(f), in which case the effectiveness of such Assignment and Acceptance shall not require execution by assigning Lender), all documentation and other information required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this subsection 10.6(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by this subsection 10.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment and recordation to the Borrower.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi)On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this subsection 10.6(b), the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned.  Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned to the Borrower marked “cancelled.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.6(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans and Commitments via an electronic settlement system as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”).  At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed Assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be consistent with the other provisions of this subsection 10.6(b).  Each assigning Lender and proposed Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loans and Commitments pursuant to the Settlement Service.  Assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein.  

Furthermore, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this subsection 10.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date under such subsections with respect to the rights assigned, shall be entitled to receive such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment.

(c)(i) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations (other than, to the extent the list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders, to a Disqualified Lender or a natural person) to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that, to the extent of such participation, such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clause (i) or (iii) of the second proviso to the second sentence of subsection 10.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(iii) of this subsection 10.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and

shall have the related obligations under) subsections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 10.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection 10.6.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to subsection 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to sell participations under this Agreement to any Disqualified Lender and any such participation shall be void ab initio, except to the extent the Borrower has consented to such participation in writing (in which case such Lender will not be considered a Disqualified Lender solely for that particular participation).  Any attempted participation which does not comply with this subsection 10.6 shall be null and void.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, the compliance of any Lender with the requirements of this subsection 10.6(c) (it being understood that each Lender shall be responsible for ensuring its own compliance with the requirements of this subsection 10.6(c)).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to, or the restrictions on any exercise of rights or remedies of, any Disqualified Lender.

(ii)Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amount) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans 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 or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit, Tax proceeding or any other governmental inquiry to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(iii)No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5, than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation.  No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 3.11 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with subsection 3.11 or to provide the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation and such failure increases the obligation of the Borrower under subsection 3.11.

(iv)Subject to paragraph (c)(iii), any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may also sell participations on terms other than the terms set forth in paragraph (c)(i) above, provided such participations are on terms and to Participants satisfactory to the Borrower and the Borrower has consented to such terms and Participants in writing.

(d)Any Lender, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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 or other similar central bank, and this subsection 10.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in subsection 10.6(b).  The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.  Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 10.6(e) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Without limiting the indemnification obligations of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this subsection 10.6(e), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate the Borrower for such claim, any Loans held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower, be assigned promptly to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void.

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.6, nothing in this subsection 10.6 is intended to or should be construed to limit the Borrower’s right to prepay the Loans as provided hereunder, including under subsection 3.4.

(g)(i) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, if any Lender or Participant at any time is a Disqualified Lender, then for so long as such Lender or Participant shall be a Disqualified Lender, the provisions of this subsection 10.6(g) shall apply with respect to such Disqualified Lender unless the Borrower shall have otherwise expressly consented in writing in its sole discretion (and regardless of whether the Borrower shall have consented to any assignment or participation to such Lender or Participant).

(ii)No Disqualified Lender shall have any right to approve, disapprove or consent to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any term hereof or thereof.  In determining whether the requisite Lender or Lenders have consented to any such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification, and in determining the Required Lenders for any purpose under or in respect of any Loan Document, any Lender that is a Disqualified Lender (and the Loans and Commitments) shall be excluded and disregarded.  Each such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification shall be binding and effective as to each Disqualified Lender.

(iii)The Borrower shall have the right (A) at the sole expense of any Lender that is a Disqualified Lender and/or the Person that assigned its Commitments and/or Loans to such Disqualified Lender, to seek to replace or terminate such Disqualified Lender as a Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign any or all of its Commitments and/or Loans and its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that (1) the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to the Borrower to find such a replacement Lender, (2) the Borrower shall not have any obligation to such Disqualified Lender or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender or accept or consent to any such assignment to itself or any other Person and (3) the assignee shall pay to such Disqualified Lender concurrently with such assignment an amount (which payment shall be deemed payment in full) equal to the lesser of (x) the face principal amount of the Loans so assigned, (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Commitments and/or Loans and (z) the most recently available quoted price for such Commitments and/or Loans (as determined by the Borrower in good faith, the “Trading Price”), in each case without interest thereon (it being understood that if the effective date of such assignment is not an Interest Payment Date, such assignee shall be entitled to receive on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date interest on the principal amount of the Loans so assigned that has accrued and is unpaid from the Interest Payment Date last preceding such effective date (except as may be otherwise agreed between such assignee and the Borrower)) or (B) to prepay any Loans held by such Disqualified Lender, in whole or in part, by paying an amount (which payment shall be deemed payment in full) equal to the lesser of (x) the face principal amount of the Loans so prepaid, (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Loans and (z) the Trading Price for such Loans (in each case without interest thereon), and if applicable, terminate the Commitments of such Disqualified Lender, in whole or in part.  In connection with any such replacement, (1) if the Disqualified Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary or appropriate (in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower) to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which the Disqualified Lender shall be paid by the assignee Lender (or, at its option, the Borrower) the amount required pursuant to this subsection 10.6(g)(iii)(B), then such Disqualified Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Disqualified Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall record such

(d)The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of (i) the first date on which all the Loans, all other Borrower Obligations (other than any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due and any Borrower Obligations owing to a Non-Lender Secured Party) then due and owing, and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 then due and owing shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Borrower Obligations, (ii) as to any Subsidiary Guarantor, a sale or other disposition of all the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor (other than to the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor), or any other transaction or occurrence as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower, in each case that is permitted under the Credit Agreement and (iii) as to any Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary.

respective payment is made) of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder that has not paid its proportionate share of such payment.

Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to any of the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all defenses (other than any claim alleging breach of a contractual provision of any of the Loan Documents or payment in full of Borrower Obligations other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) that it may have arising out of or in connection with any and all of the following: (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower against the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) any change in the time, place, manner or place of payment, amendment, or waiver or increase in any of the Obligations, (d) any exchange, non-perfection, taking, or release of Security Collateral, (e) any change in the structure or existence of the Borrower, (f) any application of Security Collateral to any of the Obligations, (g) any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any Obligation or the rights of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto, including, without limitation: (i) the application of any such law, regulation, decree or order, including any prior approval, which would prevent the exchange of any currency (other than Dollars) for Dollars or the remittance of funds outside of such jurisdiction or the unavailability of Dollars in any legal exchange market in such jurisdiction in accordance with normal commercial practice, (ii) a declaration of banking moratorium or any suspension of

(b)Subject to the Credit Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give one Business Day’s prior written notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Pledgor or Pledgors (which notice shall automatically be deemed to have been given in the case of an Event of Default pursuant to subsection 8.1(f) of the Credit Agreement), (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and make application thereof to the Obligations of the relevant Pledgor as provided in the Credit Agreement consistent with subsection 6.5, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to register any or all of the Pledged Stock in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Stock at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Stock as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Stock upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by the relevant Pledgor or the Collateral Agent, of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Stock, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine, all without liability to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law (other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct) except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing, provided that the Collateral Agent shall not exercise any voting or other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Stock in any way that would constitute an exercise of the remedies described in subsection 6.6 other than in accordance with subsection 6.6.  In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto, each Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent all proxies and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Pledgor shall have the right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a) of this subsection 6.3.

payments of Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, subject to the Credit Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and the Collateral Agent shall have instructed any Grantor to do so, all Proceeds of Collateral received by such Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other Cash Equivalent items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent, in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent).

Application of Proceeds

.  It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all Proceeds of the relevant Granting Party’s Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) received by the Collateral Agent (whether from the relevant Granting Party or otherwise) shall be held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations of the relevant Granting Party (whether matured or unmatured), and/or then or at any time thereafter may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, subject to the Credit Agreement, be applied by the Collateral Agent against the Obligations of the relevant Granting Party then due and owing in the order of priority set forth in subsection 9.12 of the Credit Agreement.

Code and Other Remedies

.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the Credit Agreement, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Granting Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Security Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith, subject to any existing reserved rights or licenses, sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Security Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. To the extent permitted by law and subject to the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right, upon any such sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Security Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in such Granting Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Granting Party further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request (subject to the Credit Agreement), to assemble the Security Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Granting Party’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this subsection 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Security Collateral or in any way relating to the Security Collateral or the rights of

the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations of the relevant Granting Party then due and owing, in the order of priority specified in subsection 6.5 above, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the Code, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to such Granting Party. To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) such Granting Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Security Collateral, other than any such claims, damages and demands that may arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), and (ii) if any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Security Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

Registration Rights

.  

(a)[Reserved].

(b)Such Pledgor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all such Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Such Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, to the extent permitted by applicable law, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(c)Such Pledgor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of such Pledged Stock pursuant to this subsection 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law; provided, that no Granting Party shall be required under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to take any action or cause any Issuer of Pledged Stock to take any action to register any portion of any Pledged Stock to be sold under the provisions of the Securities Act. Such Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this subsection 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the Collateral Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this subsection 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an

action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Credit Agreement.

Waiver; Deficiency

.  Each Granting Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Security Collateral are insufficient to pay in full the Loans and, to the extent then due and owing, all other Obligations of such Granting Party and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 7.THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

.  

(a)Each Granting Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any authorized officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Granting Party and in the name of such Granting Party or in its own name for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law, provided that the Collateral Agent agrees not to exercise such power except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and in accordance with and subject to the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the Credit Agreement), (x) each Pledgor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without prior notice or assent by such Pledgor, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in subsection 6.6 or 6.7, any endorsements, assessments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral, and (y) each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without prior notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i)in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Accounts Receivable of such Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral of such Grantor and file any claim or take any other action or institute any proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Accounts Receivable of such Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral of such Grantor whenever payable;

(ii)in the case of any Copyright, Patent, or Trademark constituting Collateral of such Grantor, execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to such Grantor to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in such Copyright, Patent, or Trademark and the

goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii)pay or discharge taxes and Liens, other than Liens permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, levied or placed on the Collateral of such Grantor, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and

(iv)(A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral of such Grantor to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (B) ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral of such Grantor; (C) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral of such Grantor; (D) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral of such Grantor or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral of such Grantor; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor; (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (G) assign, transfer or license any Intellectual Property constituting Collateral of such Grantor (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Intellectual Property pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral of such Grantor as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral of such Grantor and the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

(b)The reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this subsection 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due ABR Loans, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Granting Party, shall be payable by such Granting Party to the Collateral Agent on demand.

(c)Each Granting Party hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this

Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable as to the relevant Granting Party until this Agreement is terminated as to such Granting Party, and the security interests in the Security Collateral of such Granting Party created hereby are released.

Duty of Collateral Agent

.  The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Security Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Security Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Security Collateral upon the request of any Granting Party or any other Person or, except as otherwise provided herein, to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Security Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Security Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Granting Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein or for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision).

Financing Statements

.  Pursuant to any applicable law, each Granting Party authorizes the Collateral Agent (or its designee) to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to such Granting Party’s Security Collateral without the signature of such Granting Party in such form and in such filing offices as the Collateral Agent (or its designee) reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Granting Party authorizes the Collateral Agent (or its designee) to use any collateral description reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, the collateral description “all personal property” or “all assets” or words of similar meaning in any such financing statements. The Collateral Agent agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the relevant Granting Party of any financing or continuation statement filed by it (or its designee), provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such filing.

Authority of Collateral Agent

.  Each Granting Party acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement or any amendment, supplement or other modification of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Granting Parties, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and

valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Granting Party shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

SECTION 8.NON-LENDER SECURED PARTIES

Rights to Collateral

.  

(a)The Non-Lender Secured Parties shall not have any right whatsoever to do any of the following: (i) exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral (such term, as used in this Section 8, having the meaning assigned to it in the Credit Agreement) or to direct the Collateral Agent to do the same, including, without limitation, the right to (A) enforce any Liens or sell or otherwise foreclose on any portion of the Collateral, (B) request any action, institute any proceedings, exercise any voting rights, give any instructions, make any election, notify account debtors or make collections with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral or (C) release any Guarantor under this Agreement or release any Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document or consent to or otherwise approve any such release; (ii) demand, accept or obtain any Lien on any Collateral (except for Liens arising under, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement); (iii) vote in any Bankruptcy Case or similar proceeding in respect of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (any such proceeding, for purposes of this clause (a), a “Bankruptcy”) with respect to, or take any other actions concerning, the Collateral; (iv) receive any proceeds from any sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Collateral (except in accordance with this Agreement); (v) oppose any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral; (vi) object to any debtor-in-possession financing in any Bankruptcy which is provided by one or more Lenders among others (including on a priming basis under Section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code); (vii) object to the use of cash collateral in respect of the Collateral in any Bankruptcy; or (viii) seek, or object to the Lenders or Agent seeking on an equal and ratable basis, any adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay with respect to the Collateral in any Bankruptcy.

(b)Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, agrees that in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, with the consent of the Collateral Agent, may enforce the provisions of the Security Documents and exercise remedies thereunder and under any other Loan Documents (or refrain from enforcing rights and exercising remedies), all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole business judgment. Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights to collect, sell, dispose of or otherwise realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such collection, sale, disposition or other realization and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in any applicable jurisdiction. The Non-Lender Secured Parties by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents hereby agree not to contest or otherwise challenge any such collection, sale, disposition or other realization of or upon all or any of the Collateral. Whether or not a Bankruptcy Case has been commenced, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any sale or other disposition of any property, business or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the release of any or all of the Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document in connection therewith.

(d)Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, agrees that the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may deal with the Collateral, including any exchange, taking or release of Collateral, may change or increase the amount of the Borrower Obligations and/or the Guarantor Obligations, and may release any Guarantor from its Obligations hereunder, all without any consent of or any liability or obligation (except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein) to the Non-Lender Secured Parties.

Appointment of Agent

.  Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, shall be deemed irrevocably to make, constitute and appoint the Collateral Agent, as agent under the Credit Agreement (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Person’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for the Non-Lender Secured Parties and in each such Person’s name or otherwise, to effectuate any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Non-Lender Secured Parties for the purposes set forth herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. It is understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent has appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent for purposes of perfecting certain of the security interests created hereunder and for otherwise carrying out certain of its obligations hereunder.

Waiver of Claims

.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Non-Lender Secured Party waives any claim it might have against the Collateral Agent or the Lenders with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Lenders or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any such exercise described in subsection 8.1(b) above), except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Collateral Agent or any Lender or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any Non-Lender Secured Party or any other Person or to take any other action or forbear from doing so whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person.

Designation of Non-Lender Secured Parties

.  The Borrower may from time to time designate a Person as a “Bank Products Provider” or a “Hedging Provider” hereunder by written notice to the Collateral Agent. Upon being so designated by the Borrower, such Bank Products Provider or Hedging Provider (as the case may be) shall be a Non-Lender Secured Party for the purposes of this Agreement for as long as so designated by the Borrower.

SECTION 9.MISCELLANEOUS

Amendments in Writing

.  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Granting Party and the Collateral Agent; provided that (a) any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Granting Party may be waived by the Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the Collateral Agent and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, no such waiver and no such amendment or modification shall amend, modify or waive the definition of “Secured Party” or subsection 6.5 if such waiver, amendment, or modification would directly and adversely affect a Secured Party without the written consent of such affected Secured Party.

Notices

No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies

.  None of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to subsection 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification

.

(b)Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, (x) any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Security Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement (collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), in each case to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 10.5 of the Credit Agreement, and in any event excluding any taxes or other indemnified liabilities arising from bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision.

(c)The agreements in this subsection 9.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party under this subsection 9.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may have.

FORM OF SUBORDINATED INTERCOMPANY NOTE

SUBORDINATED INTERCOMPANY NOTE

[DATE]

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned listed on the signature page hereto, to the extent a borrower from time to time from any other person listed on the signature page hereto (each, in such capacity as a lender to the applicable Payee, a “Payor”), hereby promises to pay to the order of such other person listed below (each, in such capacity, a “Payee”), in lawful money of the United States of America, or in such other currency as agreed to by such Payor and such Payee, in immediately available funds, at such location as such Payee shall from time to time designate, the unpaid principal amount of all Indebtedness of such Payor to such Payee on such date or dates as shall be agreed upon from time to time by such Payor and such Payee (or, if no such dates are specified, on demand).  Each Payor promises also to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of all such loans and advances in like money at said location from the date of such loans and advances until paid at such rate per annum as shall be agreed upon from time to time by such Payor and such Payee.

Capitalized terms used in this intercompany promissory note (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Note”) but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them, as the context may require, in that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of January 3, 2019 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as Administrative Agent (together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders and Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties.  

The Indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor that is the Borrower or another Loan Party to any Payee that is a Non-Loan Party (each such Payor or Payee referred to in this sentence hereinafter referred to as a “Loan Party Payor” and a “Subordinated Payee”, respectively) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to  all Loan Document Obligations (the “Senior Indebtedness”); and each reference in clauses (i) through (ix) below and the other subordination provisions in this Note to a Payor or a Payee shall be deemed to be a reference only to each Loan Party Payor and each Subordinated Payee, respectively), until Payment in Full (the “Payoff Date”); provided that each such Payor may make payments to the applicable Payee unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and such Payor shall have received written notice from the Administrative Agent (provided

1

that no such notice shall be required to be given in the case of any Event of Default arising under subsection 8.1(f) of the Credit Agreement).

(i)In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relating to any Payor or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for involuntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Payor, or any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Payor that violates the terms of the Credit Agreement, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, until the Payoff Date shall have occurred, (x) no Payee shall be entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or make any demand for, any payment or distribution from such Payor on account of any Indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by such Payor to such Payee and (y) any such payment or distribution to which such Payee would otherwise be entitled, whether in cash, property or securities (other than a payment of debt securities of such Payor that are subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness to at least the same extent as the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note is subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (such securities being hereinafter referred to as “Restructured Debt Securities”)) shall instead be made to the Administrative Agent.

(ii)If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and after written notice from the Administrative Agent (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given in the case of any Event of Default arising under subsection 8.1(f) of the Credit Agreement), then until the earliest to occur of (x) the Payoff Date, (y) the date on which such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived and (z) the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have rescinded such notice, no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of any Payor, or any other person on its behalf, with respect to any amounts evidenced by this Note.

(iii)If any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Debt Securities), and whether directly, by purchase, redemption, exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise, with respect to any amounts evidenced by this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Payee in violation of clause (i) or (ii) above prior to the occurrence of the Payoff Date, such payment or distribution shall be held by such Payee in trust (segregated from other property of such Payee) for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and shall be paid over or delivered to the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt.

(iv)Each Payee agrees to file all claims against each relevant Payor in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Senior Indebtedness, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of such Payee’s rights thereunder.  If for any reason a Payee fails to file such claim at least five Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Payee hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Payee’s name to file such claim or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to assign such

claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee.  In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Payee hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent all of such Payee’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Payee otherwise would be entitled.  If the amount so paid is greater than the amount to payment in full of Senior Indebtedness (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due), the Administrative Agent shall pay the excess amount to such Payee.  

(v)Each Payee waives the right to compel that any property of any Payor or any property of any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person be applied in any particular order to discharge such Senior Indebtedness.  Each Payee expressly waives the right to require the Administrative Agent or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness to proceed against any Payor, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person, or to pursue any other remedy in its or their power that such Payee cannot pursue and that would lighten such Payee’s burden, notwithstanding that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any such other holder to do so may thereby prejudice such Payee.  Each Payee agrees that it shall not be discharged, exonerated or have its obligations hereunder reduced by the delay of the Administrative Agent or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness in proceeding against or enforcing any remedy against any Payor, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person; by the delay of the Administrative Agent or any holder of Senior Indebtedness in releasing any Payor, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person from all or any part of the Senior Indebtedness; or by the discharge of any Payor, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person by an operation of law or otherwise, with or without the intervention or omission of the Administrative Agent or any such holder.

(vi)Each Payee waives all rights and defenses (other than Payment in Full) arising out of an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, even though that election of remedies, including any nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any property securing any Senior Indebtedness, has impaired the value of such Payee’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, or contribution against any Payor, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person.  Each Payee expressly waives any rights or defenses it may have by reason of protection afforded to any Payor, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person with respect to the Senior Indebtedness pursuant to any anti‑deficiency laws or other laws of similar import that limit or discharge the principal debtor’s indebtedness upon judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of property or assets securing any Senior Indebtedness.

(vii)Each Payee agrees that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against it, and without notice to or further assent by it, any demand for payment of any Senior Indebtedness made by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness may be rescinded in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent or such holder, and any Senior Indebtedness may be continued, and the Senior Indebtedness or the liability of any Payee, any guarantor thereof or any other person obligated thereunder, or

any right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, in each case without notice to or further assent by such Payee, which will remain bound hereunder, and without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination provided for herein.

(viii)Each Payee waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any Senior Indebtedness, and any and all notice of or proof of reliance by holders of Senior Indebtedness upon the subordination provisions set forth herein.  The Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have been created, contracted or incurred, and the consent to create the obligations of any Payee evidenced by this Note shall be deemed conclusively to have been given, in reliance upon the subordination provisions set forth herein.

(ix)To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Payee waives any claim it might have against the Administrative Agent or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of the Administrative Agent or any such holder, or any of their Related Parties, with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, except to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any such holder, as the case may be, or any of its Related Parties, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment.  None of the Administrative Agent, any other holder of Senior Indebtedness or any of their Related Parties shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any guarantee of any Senior Indebtedness, or for any delay in doing so, or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any property upon the request of any Payor, any Payee or any other person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any such guarantee or any other property.

Each Subordinated Payee and each Loan Party Payor hereby agree that the subordination provisions set forth in this Note are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other holders of Senior Indebtedness, and that as between each Subordinated Payee and each holder of Senior Indebtedness, such subordination provisions constitute a “subordination agreement: within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  The Administrative Agent and the other holders of Senior Indebtedness are obligees under this Note to the same extent as if their names were written herein as such and the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of itself and such other holders, proceed to enforce the subordination provisions set forth herein.

All rights and interests of the Administrative Agent and the other holders of Senior Indebtedness hereunder, and the subordination provisions and the related agreements of the Loan Party Payors and Subordinated Payees set forth herein, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(iii)any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of or consent to departure from, any guarantee of any Senior Indebtedness; or

(iv)any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Payor in respect of any Senior Indebtedness or of any Payee or any Payor in respect of the subordination provisions set forth herein.

Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or will impair, as between each Payor and each Payee, the obligations of such Payor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of such Payee and other creditors of such Payor other than the Administrative Agent and the other holders of Senior Indebtedness, in each case subject to any applicable intercreditor agreement.

Each Payee is hereby authorized to record all Indebtedness made by it to any Payor (all of which shall be evidenced by this Note except as provided below), and all repayments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein.

Each Payor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind whatsoever in connection with this Note.  All payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

This Note shall be binding upon each Payor and its successors and assigns, and the terms and provisions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of each Payee and its successors and assigns, including subsequent holders hereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in any other Loan Document or in any other promissory note or other instrument, (a) if any Indebtedness made on or before the date hereof by any Payee to any Payor is evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument or agreement in existence as of the date hereof (an “Existing Note”), it is agreed between such Payee and such Payor that the obligations under such Existing Note are hereafter to be evidenced by this Note, and that this Note replaces and supersedes any promissory note or instrument in respect of such other Indebtedness and (b) it is agreed between the Payor and Payee that the agreements in existence as of the date hereof with respect to any existing obligations (including agreements contained in any Existing Note) as to principal, amortization, currency, payment location and interest rate (if any) will continue to have effect under this Note until modified by agreement between such Payor and such Payee. For the avoidance of doubt, this Note as between each Payor and each Payee contains additional terms to any intercompany loan agreement between them and this Note does not in any way replace

such intercompany loans between them nor does this Note in any way change the principal amount of any intercompany loans between them.

From time to time after the date hereof, additional subsidiaries of the Borrower may become parties hereto (as a Payor and/or a Payee, as the case may be) by executing a counterpart signature page to this Note (each additional subsidiary, an “Additional Party”).  Upon delivery of such counterpart signature page to the Payees, notice of which is hereby waived by the other Payors, each Additional Party shall be a Payor and/or a Payee, as the case may be, and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Party were an original signatory hereof.  Each Payor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Payor or Payee hereunder.
