ARTICLE II

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT FACILITIES

SECTION 2.01    Term Loans.

(a)    Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a loan or loans (each, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Funding Date in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. All such Term Loans in the aggregate shall not exceed the Total Term Loan Commitment. Such Term Loans may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, but once repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed.

(b)    Each Lender may, at its option, make any Term Loan in its entirety by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Term Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Term Loan in accordance with the terms hereof and (ii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it determines would be otherwise disadvantageous to it, and in the event of any Lender request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Loan Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.06 shall apply).

SECTION 2.02    Disbursement of Funds.

(a)    To request the initial funding of the Term Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall provide a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the Closing Date, or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree. Upon receipt of such Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its pro rata portion of the Term Loans. Each Lender will then make available its pro rata portion of the applicable Term Loans to be made by it in the manner provided below by no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Closing Date.

33

(b)    Each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, in Dollars, all amounts such Lender is required to fund to the Borrower, and, following receipt of all requested funds thereof in an account designated by the Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower in immediately available funds, in Dollars, the aggregate of the amounts so made available, by remitting such aggregate amount to an account designated by the Borrower to Administrative Agent in writing. The failure of any Lender to make available the amounts it is required to fund hereunder or to make a payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any payment required to be made by such other Lender under any Loan Document.

(c)    Nothing in this Section 2.02 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

SECTION 2.03    Payment of Loans; Notes.

(a)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September, and December of each year, commencing on March 31, 2020 (each, a “Term Loan Repayment Date”), an aggregate principal amount equal to 1.25% of the Term Loan Commitments outstanding on the Closing Date (each such quarterly payment, a “Term Loan Repayment Amount”).

(b)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on the Maturity Date, the principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding (subject to Section 3.01), together with all accrued interest thereon, and all fees, expenses and other Obligations accrued in respect thereof.

(c)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Loan Agreement.

(d)    The Borrower shall execute and deliver to any Lender that has made a request therefor, on the Closing Date, one or more Notes payable to such Lender and its registered assigns which in the aggregate equal the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, to the extent requested by such Lender.

(e)    The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Note(s) (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of, among other things, the date of, the outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to, the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations shall, to the extent not inconsistent with notations made by Administrative Agent in the Register, be conclusive and binding on each Loan Party absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of any Loan Party. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 12.06(b)(iii), in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to

34

become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(f)    The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and (e) shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records under Section 2.03(c) and (e), the recordations in the Register shall govern.

SECTION 2.04    Pro Rata Making of Term Loans. The Term Loans under this Loan Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Term Loan Commitments. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans, as applicable, provided to be made by it hereunder regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder.

SECTION 2.05    Interest.

(a)    Subject to Sections 2.05(c) and 2.05(f), the outstanding principal amount of each Term Loan shall accrue interest from the date of the making thereof to but excluding the date of any repayment in full thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)    On each Interest Payment Date, interest accrued on each Term Loan shall be payable in cash in arrears.

(c)    From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Sections 10.01(a), 10.01(f) and 10.01(g), the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans and all other outstanding Obligations, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, at the rate applicable to such Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a) plus two percent (2%) per annum. All such additional interest shall be payable in cash on demand, and such increase shall apply automatically upon the date of occurrence of such Event of Default.

(d)    All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 4.06.

(e)    The Administrative Agent’s determination of the interest rate applicable to any Term Loan shall be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(f)    In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Loan Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Each of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in executing and delivering this Loan Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Loan Agreement, the Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by applicable law, and payment received from the Borrower in excess of such legal maximum,

35

whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Loans and Obligations to the extent of such excess.

SECTION 2.06    Increased Costs, Illegality, etc..

(a)    In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender or any Agent, in each case, shall have determined (which determination shall, absent demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i)    on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (A) deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans are not generally available in the relevant market or (B) by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or

(ii)    at any time, after the later of the Closing Date and the date such Person became a Lender hereunder, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan, including costs arising from Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) because of (A) any change since the date hereof in any Applicable Law (or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new Applicable Law), such as, for example, without limitation, a change in official reserve requirements, and/or (B) other circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii)    at any time, that the making or continuance of any Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law (or would conflict with any such Applicable Law), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof that materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market,

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination, which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders. Thereafter (A) in the case of clause (i) above, Loans shall no longer accrue interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate pursuant to Section 2.05(a) and, in lieu thereof, shall accrue interest under Section 2.05(a) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when it becomes aware that such circumstances no longer exist), (B) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (C) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take the actions specified by Applicable Law as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by Applicable Law.

36

(b)    If, after the later of the date hereof and the date such entity becomes a Lender hereunder, the adoption of any Law, rule, guideline, request or directive (including, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, (i) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III)), whether or not having the force of law, regarding capital adequacy, or any change to any such Law, rule, guideline, request or directive, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any such Law rule, guideline, request or directive by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by a Lender (or its lending office) or its parent with any request or directive made or adopted after such date regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, association, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or its parent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such Applicable Law as in effect on the date hereof or the later date on which it becomes a Lender, as the case may be. Each Lender (on its own behalf), upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.06(b), will, as promptly as practicable upon ascertaining knowledge thereof, give written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts. The failure or delay to give any such notice with respect to a particular event shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) for amounts accrued or incurred prior to the date that such notice with respect to such event is actually given, unless such notice is given more than 180 days (or such longer period based on any retroactive effect as described in Section 2.06(a)) after Lender has knowledge of any such event.

SECTION 2.07    Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of a Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan as a result of a payment pursuant to Sections 2.03, 4.01 or 4.02, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Article X or for any other reason, or (b) any prepayment of principal of a Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Sections 4.01 or 4.02, the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Loan.

SECTION 2.08    Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Sections 2.06(a)(ii), 2.06(a)(iii), or 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation will eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.06(a)(ii), 2.06(a)(iii), or 4.04, as the case may be, in the future; provided that such designation

37

(a) is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage or unreimbursed costs, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section and (b) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.06 or 4.04, as the case may be, in the future. Nothing in this Section 2.08 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.06 or 4.04.

SECTION 2.09    Conversion and Continuation Elections.

(a)    The Borrower shall have the option to (i) request that any Term Loan be funded as a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Term Loans from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, (iii) convert any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, subject to Section 12.28(e) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Term Loan as a LIBOR Rate or Base Rate Loan, as applicable, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Except with respect to the initial funding of the Term Loans on the Closing Date (which shall be governed by Section 2.02), any such election must be made by the Borrower by (a) 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed funding of a Base Rate Loan, (2) the end of each Interest Period with respect to any Base Rate Loan to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which the Borrower wishes to convert any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, and (b) 12:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed funding of a LIBOR Rate Loan, (2) the end of each Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which the Borrower wishes to convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period designated by the Borrower in such election. If no election is received with respect to any Term Loan by the time specified in the preceding sentence, (x) any Base Rate Loan shall be continued as such the end of its Interest Period and (y) any LIBOR Rate Loan shall be continued at the end of its Interest Period as a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one or three months as applicable. If the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period in its Notice of Conversion/Continuation for a LIBOR Rate Loan, the borrower shall be deemed to have elected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Borrower must make such election by notice to Administrative Agent in writing, including by electronic transmission. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit F or in a writing in any other form acceptable to Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Term Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders have determined not to make or continue any Term Loan as LIBOR Rate Loan as a result thereof.

(b)    Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof. In addition, Administrative Agent will, with reasonable promptness, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of the LIBOR Rate; provided that any failure to do so shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability hereunder or provide the basis for any claim against Administrative Agent. All conversions and continuations shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans held by each Lender with respect to which the notice was given.

(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Loan Agreement, after giving effect to any borrowing of Term Loans, or to any continuation or conversion of any Term Loans, there shall not be more than three (3) different Interest Periods in effect for Term Loans.

SECTION 2.10    Tax Treatment. The Borrower, Lenders and Agents each agree (a) that the Loans are debt for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, (b) that the Loans are not governed by the rules set

38

out in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4 and (c) to adhere to this Loan Agreement for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and not to take any action or file any Tax return, report or declaration inconsistent herewith. The inclusion of this Section 2.10 is not an admission by any Lender that it is subject to U.S. taxation.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.01    Funding Fee.

(a)    In connection with, and in consideration of the agreements contained in the Loan Agreement and the services in connection therewith, in addition to any other fees payable under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Borrower agrees that a funding fee (the “Funding Fee”) (which, at the option of the Lenders, may be netted from the disbursement of the Term Loans on the Funding Date and structured as original issue discount) in an amount equal to 2.00% of the Term Loan Commitments, shall be fully earned, due and payable on the Funding Date.

(c)    Subject to clause (d) below, if (x) no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, (y) the Effective Date has occurred and (z) all Loans outstanding at the time of the conclusion of the Chapter 11 Cases have been reinstated or unimpaired on the Effective Date, to the extent the Loans have not, as of such date, been fully repaid in cash, solely for purposes of the prepayment or repayment of all the Loans outstanding upon the sooner to occur of (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Loans the Borrower may choose to consummate after such date (provided that such voluntary prepayment would be of the entirety of the Loans outstanding on the date of such voluntary prepayment) or (ii) the repayment of the Loans on the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.03(b), the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall be reduced by $700,000 (separate and apart from the amount described in clause (b) above) and such amount shall be considered forgiven and discharged and shall no longer be considered Obligations for purposes of calculating the amount to be prepaid or repaid.

SECTION 4.01    Voluntary Prepayments.

(a)    The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Term Loans in whole (subject to Section 3.01) or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions:

Nothing in this Section 4.02(a)(i)

SECTION 4.03    Payment of Obligations; Method and Place of Payment.

(a)    The obligations of each Loan Party hereunder and under each other Loan Document are not subject to counterclaim, set-off, rights of rescission, or any other defense of any kind whatsoever (other than defense of payment). Subject to Section 4.04, and except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under any Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower, without counterclaim, set-off, rights of rescission, or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Secured Parties entitled thereto, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Secured Parties entitled thereto.

(b)    For purposes of computing interest or fees, any payments under this Loan Agreement that are made later than 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day may, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall continue to accrue during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

(c)    Pursuant to Section 4.03(a), the Borrower shall make each payment under any Loan Document by wire transfer to such U.S. account as the Administrative Agent may identify in a written notice to the Borrower from time to time.

SECTION 4.04    Taxes.

(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Law (as determined by 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 Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party 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 Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)    Payment of Other Taxes. The Loan Parties 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.

(c)    Indemnification by the Loan Parties. Without duplication of payments made pursuant to Section 4.04(a), the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the

43

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

(d)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after receipt of demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.06(c)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.04(d).

(e)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.04, such Loan Party 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.

(f)    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 Sections 4.04(f)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the relevant 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. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.04(f), the Administrative Agent will be included in the definition of “Lender”.

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Loan Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

44

(B)    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 prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Loan Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(w)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or, in the case of an entity, 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 (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or, in the case of an entity, 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;

(y)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (1) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (2) copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or, in the case of an entity, IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(z)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or, in the case of an entity, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-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 J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)    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 prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Loan Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), 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; and

(D)    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

45

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 that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Loan 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.

(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04, it shall pay to the applicable Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to the Loan Parties (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.04(g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Loan Parties pursuant to this Section 4.04(g) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender 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 giving rise to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 4.04(g) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Party.

(h)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.04 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any or all of the Agents or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 4.05    Right to Decline Payments. Borrower shall provide prior written notice of any prepayment under Section 4.02 to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to such proposed prepayment date (or such other date as agreed by the Administrative Agent). Any Lender in its sole discretion may decline, in whole or in part, any Term Loan Repayment Amount or any payment in respect of a mandatory prepayment under Section 4.02(a) without prejudice to such Lender’s rights hereunder to accept or decline any future Term Loan Repayment Amount or mandatory prepayment. If

46

any Lender chooses to decline, in whole or in part, payment in respect of a Term Loan Repayment Amount or mandatory prepayment, (i) the Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing three (3) Business Days prior to the prepayment date of its election to do so (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option in respect of any Term Loan Repayment Amount or any payment in respect of a mandatory prepayment shall be deemed as of such date not to exercise such option), and the Administrative Agent shall provide written notice thereof to each Lender and the Borrower thereof, and (ii) the amount of such declined payment shall be offered ratably to the Lenders that have accepted payment in respect of the Term Loan Repayment Amount or mandatory prepayment, as applicable, who shall provide written notice not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the prepayment date of its acceptance of any declined payment (it being understood that any Lender who does not notify the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option shall be deemed as of such date to exercise such option) and (iii) if such other Lenders decline the additional repayment amount offered pursuant to clause (ii) above, such declined amount may be retained by the Loan Parties.

SECTION 4.06    Computations of Interest and Fees. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days (or, in the case of interest on a Base Rate Loan, a 365/366 day year). Payments due on a day that is not a Business Day shall (except as otherwise required by) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment.

The Loan Parties shall not permit an Aircraft to be used for the carriage of any goods, materials, livestock or items of cargo which could reasonably be expected to cause damage to the Aircraft which would not be adequately covered by the Aircraft Insurances required hereby.

(b)    No Loan Party shall create or permit to arise or subsist any Lien (other than Permitted Aircraft Liens) over an Aircraft or any part thereof or over any rights derived from an Aircraft or any part thereof and, other than any Disposition permitted pursuant to the terms hereof or any other Loan Document or as permitted pursuant to a Disclosed Sublease, shall not sell or encumber, or permit the sale or encumbrance of, an Aircraft or any part thereof.

(c)    Except pursuant to a Disclosed Sublease, no Loan Party shall lease or sub-lease an Aircraft or any part thereof or otherwise allow any third party to operate or possess an Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any Part thereof without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent (acting reasonably) or as otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of a Loan Document. The Collateral Agent consents to the continued subleasing of an Aircraft pursuant to the Disclosed Subleases. Any sublease shall be expressly subject and subordinate to the Loan Documents. The Collateral Agent may require such other documents as it reasonably determines as a condition to its consent to any other requested sublease.

(d)    Notwithstanding the above, the parties hereto acknowledge that in the ordinary course of their operations, any of the Loan Parties or a Disclosed Sublessee (as the case may be) (“Relevant Party”), that Relevant Party may, from time to time, (i) remove any Engine(s) and install such Engine(s) on a leased airframe or helicopter (“Leased Aircraft”), which is subject to an operating lease agreement (“Operating Aircraft Lease”) between a Relevant Party, as operator, and a third-party lessor (“Aircraft Lessor”) where such Relevant Party is the operator under the Operating Lease, and (ii) remove any engine(s) on Leased Aircraft (a “Leased Engine”) and install such Leased Engine(s) on an Aircraft. Upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) the expiration of the term of an Operating Aircraft Lease, and (iii) the Maturity Date, where an Engine is installed on an Airframe or a Leased Engine is installed on an Aircraft, the Borrower, upon request of the Collateral Agent (acting in its sole discretion) will (x) obtain from the applicable Aircraft Lessor and each other party who has an interest in the Leased Aircraft (such other party, including any owner, other lessor, lender or security agent, an “Interested Person”) an acknowledgment in writing that such Aircraft Lessor and each Interested Person does not hold any right, title, or interest in and to the Engine, (y) physically remove the Engine and any Leased Engine and place them on an Aircraft or Leased Aircraft, respectively, or (z) request and use all reasonable best efforts to procure that the Aircraft Lessor and each other Interested Person enter into any documents (including without limitation a ▇▇▇▇ of sale and form of substitution agreement) to effectuate the substitution of the respective engines of record with the Aviation Authority, the International Registry or any other applicable register, such that the Owner becomes the owner of the Leased Engine free from any interest of an Interested Person and similarly, the Aircraft Lessor (or its nominee) becomes the owner of the Engine. In the event of (z) above, upon written request of the Loan Party, the Collateral Agent, so long as there shall exist no Event of Default, shall release from the respective Security Documents any Engine; provided however, that prior to such release, the Loan Party shall have created and perfected a first ranking security interest under the terms and conditions hereunder in the substituted Leased Engine (being the same make and model or an improved make and model and

73

suitable for installation on the Airframe, that is free and clear of all Liens, and which has a value at least equal to the Engine being replaced). Such substituted Leased Engine (“Substituted Engine”) shall thereafter be deemed an “Engine” and part of the Collateral for all purposes of this Loan Agreement. In connection with the Substituted Engine, the Loan Parties shall (i) execute and deliver for filing a supplement to the respective Security Documents subjecting the Substituted Engine thereto, and (ii) register the corresponding interests on the International Registry and any other registers considered necessary by the Collateral Agent to perfect title to, or an interest in, such Substituted Engine. Each Loan Party agrees to provide such information, including in respect of an Interested Person, a Leased Aircraft or a Substituted Engine, as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 8.22(d).

An Aircraft is arrested, confiscated, seized, taken in execution, impounded, forfeited or detained, in each case in exercise or purported exercise of any possessory lien or other claim or is otherwise taken from a Loan Party or applicable Disclosed Sublessee (otherwise than in circumstances which constitute or would with the passage of time constitute a Total Loss) and the Aircraft is not released within thirty (30) calendar days thereof.

(t)    Disclosed Subleases. An event of default (howsoever described) occurs and is continuing under a Disclosed Sublease as a result of any act or omission by any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries.

SECTION 10.02    Remedies Upon Event of Default.

(a)    [Reserved]

(b)    If any Event of Default shall occur for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and other Obligations to be due and payable applicable to the date such Event of Default occurs, and any commitments shall be terminated, whereupon the full unpaid amount of such Term Loans and other Obligations that shall be so declared due and payable shall be and become immediately due and payable, in each case, without further notice, demand or presentment.

(c)    Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and its representatives and agents, to the extent permitted by Law may:

(i)    take steps to effect the deregistration of the Aircraft with the Aviation Authority and the export of the Aircraft from the Country of Registration;

(ii)    have the right to enter upon any premises where they reasonably believes an Aircraft , the Airframe, any Engine, any Part or the Aircraft Documents to be located, including any premises owned by a Loan Party or under a Loan party’s control, and take immediate possession of and, at its sole option, remove the same (and any engine or part which is not an Engine or Part but which is installed on an Airframe, subject to the rights of the owner, lessor or secured person thereof) with or without any judicial proceedings;

(iii)    not be liable, in conversion or otherwise, for the taking of any personal property of a Loan Party or any other person which is in or attached to an Aircraft, an Airframe, an Engine or Part or included among the Aircraft Documents which is or are repossessed; provided, however, that it shall return to the Loan or such other person at the Loan Party’s

89

expense all such personal property belonging to the Loan Party or such other person in a condition in which it was so taken from the Loan Party or such other person; and

(iv)    not be liable or responsible, in any manner, for any inadvertent damage or injury to any of Loan Party property in repossessing and holding an Aircraft, an Airframe, any Engine, any Part or the Aircraft Documents, except for any damage caused by or in connection with its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d)    Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, which is continuing, if required by the Collateral Agent, each Loan Party shall make each Aircraft, each Airframe, any Engine, any Part and the Aircraft Documents available at a place designated by Collateral Agent within the Country of Registration for inspection and repossession.

(e)    Without prejudice to the remedies otherwise available hereunder or under any Loan Document or otherwise under applicable Law, the parties hereby agree that:

(i)    The Collateral Agent may apply any and all remedies available to lessors under the Cape Town Convention (including, without limitation, (i) the remedies provided under Article IX of the Aircraft Protocol and (ii) obtaining from a court speedy relief in the form of any one or more orders provided under the Cape Town Convention);

(ii)    Article 13(2) of the Cape Town Convention shall not apply to this Loan Agreement; and

(iii)    Collateral Agent may exercise the rights and remedies referred to in the Loan Documents but so that if any provision of a Loan Document conflicts any term of the Cape Town Convention which is not mandatory, the provisions of that Loan Document shall prevail.

(f)    The Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or pursuant to this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. The rights and remedies of the Lenders under this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

ARTICLE XI

THE AGENTS

SECTION 11.01    Appointments.

(a)    Each Lender and each other Secured Party hereby appoints Blue Torch Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as its Administrative Agent under and for purposes of each Loan Document, and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to act on behalf of such Secured Party under each Loan Document and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents received from time to time by the Administrative Agent, to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be incidental thereto.

90

(b)    Each Lender and each other Secured Party hereby appoints Blue Torch Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as (x) its Collateral Agent under and for purposes of each Loan Document, and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to act on behalf of such Secured Party under each Loan Document and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents received from time to time by the Collateral Agent, to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be incidental thereto and (y) its nominee for the purposes of section 153 of the PPSA, and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act on its behalf, in connection with any registration under the PPSA of any security interest in its favor in respect of any Loan Document or item of Collateral. The Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges that it holds (i) the sum of $10.00, (ii) all right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents (other than, in the case of other Loan Documents, those held in a personal capacity) including all money recovered under them (whether on enforcement or otherwise) and (iii) all other property acquired by the Collateral Agent and intended to be held for the benefit of a Lender or other Secured Party on the trust established under this deed (such property referred to in (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Trust Fund”) and will hold the Trust Fund on trust for each Lender and each other Secured Party from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement and each other Loan Document. The trust established under this document commences on the date of this document and, unless terminated at an earlier date, terminates on the eightieth anniversary of the date of this Loan Agreement.

(c)    Each Lender and each other Secured Party hereby directs the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the Loan Documents (including any intercreditor agreements and subordination agreements contemplated hereby and, in each case, any amendments, supplements and other modifications thereto not prohibited by the terms of the Loan Agreement) on behalf of such Secured Party, in all cases in such form as the applicable Agent shall determine. Upon execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by an Agent, each Secured Party shall be bound by the terms and conditions thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized to execute and deliver any and all such documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For purposes of determining compliance with, and satisfaction of, the conditions specified in Article V, each Lender that has signed this Loan Agreement (or an Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable) shall be deemed to have consented to, approved, accepted and be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to, approved by or otherwise satisfactory or acceptable to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the Closing Date specifying such Lender’s objection thereto.

(d)    Each Lender and each other Secured Party hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each Agent as the agent of such Lender. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Loan Agreement, (i) each Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Secured Parties and with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the terms “Administrative Agent,” “Collateral Agent,” “Agent,” and “agent,” which terms are used for title purposes only, and (ii) no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or other Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty and Security Agreement or any other Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder or thereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in accordance

91

with the terms hereof or thereof, as applicable, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, any Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and each Agent as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations (including Obligations owed to any other Secured Party) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by such Agent at such sale or other disposition, the Lenders hereby agreeing that they may not exercise any right to credit bid at any public or private foreclosure sale or other disposition of Collateral unless instructed to do so by the applicable Agent in writing.

SECTION 11.02    Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact 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 selected by it with reasonable care.

SECTION 11.03    Exculpatory Provisions. Neither an Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (including that any Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Code), except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s (as applicable) own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made or deemed made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any officer thereof in this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party or other Person to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

SECTION 11.04    Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agents. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Loan Agreement, all or other requisite Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under

92

this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Loan Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans and all other Secured Parties.

SECTION 11.05    Notice of Default. No Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Loan Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Collateral Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Loan Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that an Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to the other Agent and the Lenders. Each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Loan Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Loan Agreement); provided that unless and until the applicable Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as such Agent shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Secured Parties.

SECTION 11.06    Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Secured Party. Each Lender represents to the Agents that such Lender has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to enter into this Loan Agreement and make its Loans hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent hereunder, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any other Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates.

SECTION 11.07    Indemnification by Lenders. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 11.07 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Total Credit Exposure immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or

93

disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 11.07 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 11.08    Agents in their Individual Capacities. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party, and any Affiliate of any Loan Party, all as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Secured Party” and “Secured Parties” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 11.09    Successor Agents.

Either Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Lenders, the other Agent and the Borrower; provided that either Agent may resign as an Agent immediately upon written notice to the Lenders, the other Agent and the Borrower if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If either Agent shall resign as such Agent in its applicable capacity under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, conditioned or burdened), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such Agent in its applicable capacity, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall thereafter mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent in its applicable capacity shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the other parties to this Loan Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as such Agent in its applicable capacity by the date upon which such retiring Agent’s notice of resignation is effective in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 11.09, such retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless become effective on the applicable date and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Article XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 11.10    Agents Generally. Except as expressly set forth in this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

SECTION 11.11    Restrictions on Actions by Secured Parties; Sharing of Payments.

94

(a)    Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of the Collateral Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent otherwise consents in writing, take or cause to be taken any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any Loan Document or any right or remedy against any Loan Party or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. The provisions of this Section 11.11(a) are for the sole benefit of the Secured Parties and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party or other Person.

(b)    Subject to Section 12.09(b), if at any time or times any Lender receives (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Loan Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Administrative Agent in excess of such Lender’s pro rata share of all such distributions by the Agents, then in each such case such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the applicable Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Loan Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other applicable Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their pro rata shares; provided that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

SECTION 11.12    Agency for Perfection. The Collateral Agent hereby appoints each other Secured Party as its agent and bailee and as sub-agent for the other Secured Parties (and each Secured Party hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including with respect to assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable state can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Secured Party obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Secured Party shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent and take such other actions as agent or sub-agent in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized or directed by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 11.13    Credit Bid. Each Loan Party, each Lender and the Collateral Agent each hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent or its designee, based upon the written instruction of Required Lenders, to bid and purchase for an amount approved by Required Lenders (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted (i) by any Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, (ii) under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 363, 365 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) by any Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise, including a foreclosure sale) in accordance with Applicable Law (any such sale described clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Collateral Sale”), and in connection with any Collateral Sale, the Administrative Agent or its designee may (with the consent of Required Lenders) accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued

95

by such acquisition vehicle under the direction or control of any Agent and the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of Required Lenders) offset all or any portion of the Obligations against the purchase price for such Collateral.

SECTION 11.14    One Lender Sufficient. This Loan Agreement shall be and shall remain in full force and effect, and all agency provisions shall be and shall remain effective, notwithstanding the fact that from time to time (including on the Closing Date) there may be only one Lender hereunder and the fact that such Lender may be the same Person that is serving as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder.

ARTICLE XII

(C)    [reserved],

(D)    amend or modify any provisions of Section 4.02(b), Section 11.11(b), Section 12.09(a) or any other provision that provides for the pro rata nature of disbursements by or payments to Lenders, or

(iv)    if to any other Lender, to it at its address, facsimile number or email address set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance by which such Lender becomes a party hereto, as applicable.

(b)    Any party hereto may change its address, facsimile number or email address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice delivered to all of the other parties hereto in accordance with Section 12.02(a) above.

(c)    All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall be deemed to have been given (i) in the case of notices and other communications delivered by hand or overnight courier service, upon actual receipt thereof, (ii) in the case of notices and other communications delivered by certified or registered mail, upon the earlier of actual delivery and the third Business Day after the date deposited in the U.S. mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed, (iii) in the case of notices and other communications delivered by telefacsimile, upon receipt by the sender of an acknowledgment or transmission report generated by the machine from which the telefacsimile was sent indicating that the telefacsimile was sent in its entirety to the recipient’s telefacsimile number and (iv) in the case of notices and other communications delivered by email, upon receipt by the sender of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, a return email or other written acknowledgement); provided, however, that in each case, if a notice or other communication would be deemed to have been given in accordance with the foregoing at any time other than during the recipient’s normal business hours on a Business Day for such recipient, such notice or other communication shall be deemed given on the next succeeding Business Day for such recipient.

(d)    Each Loan Party and each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the use of electronic transmission in general, and email in particular, is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with the use thereof, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse, and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the use of electronic transmission.

(e)    The Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.

(f)    Each Loan Party acknowledges, understands and agrees that: (a) some or all of the Lenders from time to time borrow funds from one or more lenders pursuant to loan agreements with notice provisions that are strictly enforced by such lenders; and (b) the provisions in this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents requiring delivery of notices and governing delivery of such notices (i) are of the essence of this Loan Agreement and such other Loan Documents, and without such provisions the Lenders would not enter into this Loan Agreement, (ii) require technical compliance in all respects, not just notice in fact, whether or not there is any prejudice to a Lender or any other Person, and (iii) will not be waived, amended or adjusted in any way in the absence of reasons deemed compelling by the Lenders

99

in their sole and absolute discretion (compelling reasons shall not include the desire of a Loan Party to save money), which discretion shall be subject to no standard of reasonableness or review and shall be evidenced only by a formal written instrument (and not by an email or series of emails).

SECTION 12.03    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

SECTION 12.04    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder.

The Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees: (a) to pay or reimburse each Agent and each Lender for all their reasonable and documented costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the development, negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of, and any amendment, supplement, or other modification to, and any waiver of any provision of, and any consent under, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including without limitation such costs, fees and expenses related to due diligence, lien searches and filing fees and such costs, fees and expenses in relation to any payoff letter or other termination agreement and associated lien releases, and including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of internal and external counsel to the Agents and internal and external tax professionals, accounting professionals, and other consultants and advisors, in all cases whether or not the Closing Date occurs and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated; (b) to pay to each Agent and each Lender the allocated, reasonable and documented costs, fees and expenses of internal counsel to thereto in connection with any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent delivered hereunder, in addition to any other applicable fee that may be payable in connection with any such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent; (c) to pay or reimburse each Agent and each Lender for all of their properly documented costs, fees and expenses incurred thereby and by their Affiliates in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof, in connection with any action to protect, collect, sell, liquidate or dispose of any Collateral, and in connection with any litigation, arbitration or other contest, dispute, suit, or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, including in each case the fees, disbursements and other charges of internal and external counsel to each Agent, internal and external counsel to each Lender, and internal and external tax professionals, accounting professionals, and other consultants and advisors of each Agent and of each Lender; (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Agent and each Lender from any and all Other Taxes (without duplication of amounts referenced in Section 4.04), if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents; (e) to pay or reimburse each Agent and each Lender for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in exercising their rights under Section 8.02 and Section 8.16 and to pay and reimburse each Lender for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in exercising its rights under Section 8.17; and (f) to pay, indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Lender, each other Secured Party, and the respective Related Parties of each of them, from and against

100

any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and reasonable and documented costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of internal and external counsel, with respect to the negotiation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to (x) any Environmental Claim that relates to any Loan Party or any property owned or leased by any Loan Party, the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law by any Loan Party or any property owned or leased by any Loan Party or any actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property owned or leased by any Loan Party or resulting from any Loan Party in connection with the operations of any Loan Party, Subsidiary of any Loan Party or any of their Real Property and (y) liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments or suits with respect to or arising directly or indirectly in any manner or for any cause or reason whatsoever out of an Aircraft, an Airframe, any Engine or engine installed on an Aircraft, any Part, any Aircraft Documents, the capacity, age, airworthiness, value, durability, description, specific configuration, design, workmanship, materials, manufacture, construction, testing, delivery, import to the initial or any other Country of Registration, export (including, without limitation, any export at re-delivery following an Event of Default), ownership, registration, possession, control, use, operation (including, without limitation, airport charges), leasing, sub-leasing, insurance, maintenance, repair, refurbishment, condition (whether of an Aircraft, any Engine, any part or the Aircraft Documents), performance, fitness for any particular use or purpose or suitability of any Aircraft or any part thereof, service, overhaul, modification, change, alteration, loss, damage, removal, storage or re-delivery of, in or to an Aircraft or the Aircraft Insurances, or otherwise in connection with an Aircraft, or relating to loss or destruction of or damage to any property, or death or injury of, or other loss of whatsoever nature suffered by, any person caused by, relating to, or arising from or out of (in each case whether directly or indirectly and whether arising on or prior to the date hereof) any of the foregoing matters (all the foregoing in this clause (f), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall have no obligation under this clause (f) to any Agent, any Lender, any other Secured Party, or any Related Party of any of them, for Indemnified Liabilities arising from (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified, as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) any Claim resulting from one party to be indemnified against any other party to be indemnified and that does not involve an act or omission of Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The agreements in this Section 12.05 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Loan Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Agent, any Lender, any other Secured Party, and the Related Parties of each of them, on any theory of liability, for any general or consequential damages, or direct or indirect damages, in each case of any kind, and in each case whether special, reliance, punitive, compensatory, benefit of the bargain, “cover”, expectancy, exemplary, incidental, “lost profits”, or similar or other damages (including, but not limited to, damages resulting from loss of profits, revenue or business opportunity, business impact or anticipated savings) or multiples of damages, other than direct, foreseeable, actual out-of-pocket damages, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Lender, no Agent, no other Secured Party, and no Related Party of any of them shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, in the absence of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 12.06    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

101

(a)    This Loan Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto and of the Related Parties and other indemnified Persons hereunder and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and the obligations and liabilities assumed in this Loan Agreement by the parties hereto shall be binding upon their respective successors and permitted assignees, except that (i) except as permitted under Section 9.03, no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender, and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void, and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.06. Nothing in this Loan Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 12.06) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) any Lender shall be permitted to pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of such Lender’s rights hereunder including, but not limited to, any Loans (without the consent of, or notice to or any other action by, any other party hereto) to secure the obligations of such Lender or any of its Affiliates to any Person providing any loan, letter of credit or other extension of credit to or for the account of such Lender or any of its Affiliates and (b) the Agents shall be permitted to pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of their respective rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, rights to payment (without the consent of, or notice to or any other action by, any other party hereto), to secure the obligations of such Agent or any of its Affiliates to any Person providing any loan, letter of credit or other extension of credit to or for the account of such Agent or any of its Affiliates.

(b)    Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 12.06(b)(i) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that, except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (x) such Lender shall have provided the Borrower with at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of the proposed assignment or participation, including the amount thereof and the proposed assignee or participant, and (y) the Borrower shall have the right for five (5) Business Days following such notice provide an irrevocable written offer to purchase all of the rights and obligations that will be the subject of such proposed assignment or participation (so long as (A) such purchase is made at par value as to such rights and obligations, (B) such purchase is actually consummated within five (5) Business Days of the Borrower providing such irrevocable written offer and (C) the Borrower, immediately upon consummating such purchase, permanently cancels such rights and obligations (which rights and obligations include, for the avoidance of doubt, the Loans such Lender proposed to assign or participate and the Liens securing such Loans); and

(i)    Assignments by Lenders shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the (i) Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $500,000, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, conditioned or burdened; provided, however, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by affiliated Lenders or related Approved Funds, and contemporaneous assignments by a

102

single assignor to affiliated Lenders or related Approved Funds, shall in each case be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

(B)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement as to the Loans or Commitments so assigned; provided that this paragraph shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect its Commitments or Loans;

(C)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and all requested “know your customer” documentation required by regulatory authorities under applicable anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved Funds; and

(D)    no assignments may be made (i) to a Permitted Holder or an Affiliate of a Permitted Holder, (ii) except as described in proviso to Section 12.06(b)(i) above (and to the extent immediately and permanently canceled), to a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party or (iii) to any natural person, and any such assignment described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) shall be null and void.

(ii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 12.06(b)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in 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 Loan 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 Loan Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.06, 2.07, 4.04 and 12.05 to the extent of any amounts owed to such Lender under any of such provisions). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Loan Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.06 shall be treated for purposes of this Loan Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.06(c).

(iii)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower for tax purposes and solely with respect the actions described in this Section 12.06(b)(iii), shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States 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 principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall contain the name and address of each Lender and the lending office through which each Lender acts under this Loan Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Agents 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 Loan Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register, as in effect at the close of business on the preceding Business Day, shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (and any other Person to the extent necessary to cause

103

the Loans to be maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code) at any reasonable time and from time to time on any Business Day upon reasonable prior written notice; provided that no Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. This Section 12.06(b)(iii) shall be construed such that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(iv)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing fee, any requested “know-your-customer” documents, and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 12.06(b)(i), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Loan Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agents, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Agents 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 Loan Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Loan Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Sections 12.01(b)(i), 12.01(b)(ii), 12.01(b)(iii) or 12.01(b)(iv). Subject to Section 12.06(c)(i), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 4.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.06(b). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.09(b) as if it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.09(a) as if it were a Lender.

(i)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.06, 2.07 or 4.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.04 so long as the documentation required by Section 4.04(f) is delivered by the participant to the participating Lender.

(ii)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in such Lender’s Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in each Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the applicable Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Loan Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any

104

Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under United States Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c). The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining any Participant Register, and any notices or other documents required to be delivered by the Loan Parties shall be deemed to be delivered to a Participant upon actual delivery to the Lender that sold the participation to such Participant.

(d)    Nothing herein is intended to prevent, impair, limit or otherwise restrict the ability of a Lender to collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its interests in the Loans and the other rights and benefits under the Loan Documents to an unaffiliated third party lender of such Lender (each such Person, a “Collateral Assignee”); provided that unless and until the Borrower receives notification from a Collateral Assignee of such assignment directing payments to be made to such Collateral Assignee, any payment made by the Borrower for the benefit of such Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations thereunder to the extent of such payment. Any such Collateral Assignee, upon foreclosure of its security interests in the Loans pursuant to the terms of such assignment and in accordance with Applicable Law, shall succeed to all the interests of or shall be deemed to be a Lender, with all the rights and benefits afforded thereby, and such transfer shall not be deemed to be a transfer for purposes of and otherwise subject to the provisions of this Section 12.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender shall remain responsible for all obligations and liabilities arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in any applicable pledge or assignment, nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to impose any obligations upon or constitute an assumption by a Collateral Assignee thereof.

SECTION 12.07    Replacements of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

The Administrative Agent, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, shall be permitted to replace any Lender or any Participant that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 12.06, Section 2.08, or Section 4.04 if such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.08, or (ii) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.06(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section 2.06(a)(iii) is required to be taken; provided that (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Applicable Law, (B) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) all Loans and other amounts (including any applicable fees, but excluding any disputed amounts) owing to such replaced Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement shall be paid or purchased at par, (D) the replacement bank or institution (if not already a Lender), and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and the withholding of consent by the Administrative Agent to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party becoming a replacement Lender shall be deemed to be reasonable and not unreasonable, (E) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.06 (except that such replaced Lender shall not be obligated to pay any processing and recordation fee required pursuant thereto), (F) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, any Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, and (G) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 12.06 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

105

SECTION 12.08    Securitization. The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may (i) pledge all or a portion of the Loans as collateral security for loans to such Lenders or their Affiliates, (ii) sell all or a portion of the Loans to a third party, (iii) issue direct or indirect interests in the Loans to their controlled Affiliates or (iv) otherwise securitize all or a portion of the Loans (any transaction described in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Securitization”), and that the Lenders and their Affiliates may seek to have such loans to such Lenders or their Affiliates, such sold Loans, such direct or indirect interests or such securitization rated by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, S&P or one or more other rating agencies (each, a “Rating Agency”). The Loan Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect any and all Securitizations and to obtain a public or unpublished loan rating or a corporate rating from any Rating Agency requested by any Lender, including, without limitation, if so requested by a Lender, by (i) meeting with representatives of such Rating Agency and discussing its business and affairs with such representatives to the extent required to obtain such rating, (ii) amending this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by such Lenders, in connection with any Securitization and (iii) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by such Lenders, in connection with the rating of the Obligations or any Securitization; provided that (a) the Loan Parties shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses in connection with any action taken at the request of a Lender pursuant to this Section 12.08 unless such Lender reimburses the Loan Parties for such costs and expenses and (b) the Loan Parties shall not be required to take any action at the request of a Lender pursuant to this Section 12.08 that would (x) add any new, expand the scope of any existing, representations and warranties made or to be made by the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries, (y) impose any additional covenants, events of default or obligations on the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries or (z) impose any new, or expand any existing, conditions on the ability to draw Loans under this Loan Agreement or take other actions otherwise permitted under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No Securitization shall (i) release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, (ii) restrict or limit an Agent’s discretion in connection with any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of any of the terms of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iii) substitute any pledgee, secured party or any other party to such Securitization for such Lender as a party hereto, and no change in ownership of the Loans may be effected, in each case except pursuant to Section 12.06.

SECTION 12.09    Adjustments; Set-Off.

(a)    If any Lender at any time receives any payment of all or part of its Loans or interest thereon, or receives any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to Insolvency Proceedings or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Term Loans or interest thereon, such recipient Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such recipient Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such recipient Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.09 shall not apply to payments made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)    After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the Loan Parties to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated

106

maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agents after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

SECTION 12.10    Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and signed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic means. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders.

SECTION 12.11    Counterparts. Any number of counterparts of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including facsimiles and other electronic copies, may be executed by the parties hereto. Each such counterpart shall be, and shall be deemed to be, an original instrument, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 12.12    Severability. All provisions of this Loan Agreement are severable, and the unenforceability or invalidity of any of the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Loan Agreement. Should any part of this Loan Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the invalid or unenforceable portion or portions shall be removed (and no more) only in that jurisdiction, and the remainder shall be enforced as fully as possible (removing the minimum amount possible) in that jurisdiction. In lieu of such invalid or unenforceable provision, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to add as a part of this Loan Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

SECTION 12.13    Integration. This Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings with respect thereto, both written and oral.

SECTION 12.20    Releases of Guaranties and Liens.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Secured Party (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured Party except as expressly required by Section 12.01) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 12.01 or (ii) under the circumstances described in Section 12.20(b).

(b)    At such time as the Loans and the other Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) shall have been paid in full, (i) following a written request therefor from the Borrower and at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, the Collateral Agent shall terminate the Security Documents and release the Collateral from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and (ii) all obligations of the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents shall terminate without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

SECTION 12.21    USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each Loan Party agrees to provide all such information to the Lenders upon request by any Agent at any time, whether with respect to any Person who is a Loan Party on the Closing Date or who becomes a Loan Party thereafter.

SECTION 12.22    No Fiduciary Duty. Each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents and any communications in connection herewith and therewith, the Loan Parties, their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders, the other Secured Parties, and all of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

SECTION 12.23    Reliance on Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely and act upon any certificate, notice or other document delivered

110

by or on behalf of any Person purporting to be an Authorized Officer of a Loan Party, and shall have no duty to inquire as to the actual incumbency or authority of such Person.

SECTION 12.24    No Waiver. A Secured Party’s failure to insist at any time upon strict compliance with this Loan Agreement or with any of the terms of this Loan Agreement or any continued course of such conduct on its part will not constitute or be considered a waiver by such Secured Party of any of its rights or privileges. A waiver or consent, express or implied, of or to any breach or default by any party in the performance by that party of its obligations with respect to this Loan Agreement is not a waiver or consent of or to any other breach or default in the performance by that party of the same or any other obligations of that party.

SECTION 12.25    The Borrower as the Loan Parties’ Representative. Each Loan Party (other than the Borrower) hereby irrevocably appoints the Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Loan Parties, which appointment is coupled with an interest and shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent (i) in its sole discretion shall have consented in writing to the revocation of such appointment and (ii) received prior written notice signed by the Loan Parties that such appointment has been revoked and that another Loan Party has been appointed.

Each Loan Party acknowledges that the handling of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Collateral in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, is done solely as an accommodation to the Loan Parties in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Loan Parties in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that no Agent or Lender shall incur liability to any Loan Party as a result thereof. Each Loan Party expects to derive substantial benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Collateral in a combined fashion because the successful operation of each Loan Party is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Agents and Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Loan Party hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender against, and hold each Agent and each Lender harmless from, any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury made against any Agent or Lender by any Loan Party or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (x) the handling of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Collateral as provided herein, or (y) an Agent or a Lender relying on any instructions of the Borrower, except that the Loan Parties will have no liability to any Agent or Lender pursuant to this Section 12.25 with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or such Lender, as applicable.

SECTION 12.26    Intercreditor Agreements. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, this Loan Agreement is subject in all respects to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Loan Agreement and such Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

111

that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

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

SECTION 12.28    Funding Losses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any documented loss or expense (but excluding lost profits) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a direct consequence of:

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, with respect to the expenses described in clauses (d) and (e) above, such Lender shall have notified Agent of any such expense within two (2) Business Days of the date on which such expense was incurred. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 12.28 and under Section 2.06(a)(ii): each LIBOR Rate Loan that is made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR Rate used in determining the interest rate for

112

such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan is in fact so funded.
