This PURCHASE MONEY LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of this 25th day of July, 2018, by and among SAExploration Acquisitions (U.S.), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors party hereto from time to time, the “Guarantors”), the Lenders party hereto from time to time (the “Lenders”) and Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities, in its capacities as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with any of its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Agent”).

WHEREAS, on June 25, 2018 (the “Petition Date”), Geokinetics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and certain of its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Geokinetics”) filed in the Bankruptcy Court (as hereinafter defined) a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as hereinafter defined) and continued in the possession of its assets and in the management of its business as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code;

WHEREAS, Geokinetics Inc., a Delaware corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, as debtors and debtors-in-possession under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, as sellers, agreed to sell certain property and assets to SAExploration, Inc., as buyer, pursuant to that certain asset purchase agreement dated as of June 26, 2018 by and among Geokinetics Inc., Geokinetics Holdings USA, Inc., Geokinetics Processing, Inc., Geokinetics USA, Inc., Advanced Seismic Technology, Inc., Geokinetics International Holdings, Inc., Geokinetics International, Inc., Geokinetics (Australasia) Pty. LTD., and Geokinetics Exploration, Inc., as the sellers and SAExploration, Inc., as buyer (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”; the acquisition to be consummated in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the “Geokinetics Acquisition”);

WHEREAS, SAExploration, Inc. assigned all of its right, title and interest in the Asset Purchase Agreement (and all related agreements between buyer and seller under the Asset Purchase Agreement) to Borrower pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated as of July 23, 2018 (“APA Assignment Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Asset Purchase Agreement has been approved and confirmed pursuant to the Sale Order (as hereinafter defined);

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide the Borrower with a $23,411,368.67 purchase money credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to fund the Geokinetics Acquisition and certain other related assets and expenses and the Lenders have agreed to provide the Credit Facility to so fund the Geokinetics Acquisition subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein ;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, as follows:

1.	DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.

1.1. Definitions, Code Terms, Accounting Terms and Construction. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1. Additionally, matters of (i) interpretation of terms defined in the Code, (ii) interpretation of accounting terms and (iii) construction, in each case, are set forth in Schedule 1.1.

2.	LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1. Loan Advances.

(a) Closing Date Advance. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein, upon Agent’s receipt of a written request from the Borrower for the Closing Date Advance in accordance with Section 2.3(a)(i) hereof (the “Closing Date Advance Request”), each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make, on the Effective Date, its portion of the Closing Date Advance to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Closing Date Advance Commitment, as set forth on Schedule 2.1 attached hereto. Each Lender’s Closing Date Advance Commitment shall terminate immediately upon such Lender funding its portion of the Closing Date Advance. Immediately after giving effect to the making of the Closing Date Advance, the aggregate principal amount of all Obligations outstanding hereunder, shall equal Twenty Three Million Four Hundred and Eleven Thousand Three Hundred Sixty-Eight Dollars and Sixty-Seven cents ($23,411,368.67). No Lender shall be required to fund more than its Closing Date Advance Commitment (as a result of another Lender refusing to fund its Closing Date Advance Commitment or otherwise).

(b) Reserved.

(d) Reserved.

(e) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 that are repaid or prepaid at any time during the term of this Agreement may not be reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of all Advances, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and any and all other Obligations, shall be due and payable on the Termination Date.

2.2. Evidence of Advances: Notes. Each Advance is evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Advances owed to such Lender and its registered assigns.

2.3. Borrowing Procedures.

(a) Procedure for Borrowing.

(i) The Closing Date Advance Request shall be made by a written request, in the form of the Borrowing Certificate, by an Authorized Person delivered to the Agent and the Lenders. Such Borrowing Certificate must be received by the Agent no later than 3:45 p.m. (New York City time) on the Effective Date, specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.4 shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereunder, and (iv) the wire instructions for which such funds are to be disbursed.

(ii) Reserved.

(iii) Reserved.

(iv) Reserved.

(b) Making of Loans. Each Lender shall make the Closing Date Advance to be made by it hereunder in accordance with Section 2.1(a) on the Effective Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Agent may designate not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the Effective Date and the Agent shall promptly credit and/or remit the amounts so received as specified in the wire instructions set forth in the Funds Flow Schedule attached to the Borrowing Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 2.3(a)(i) or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met or waived by the Required Lenders, promptly return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders; provided, that the Agent shall only be required to advance funds to Borrower with respect to an Advance to the extent that the Agent shall have received such funds from the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be obligated to make any Advance if one (1) or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived by the Required Lenders.

(d) Protective Advances. One or more of the Lenders, acting through the Agent, may make an Advance for any reason at any time in its Permitted Discretion, without Borrower’s compliance with any of the conditions of this Agreement, and (i) disburse the proceeds directly to third Persons in order to protect the Agent’s interest in the Collateral or to perform any obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or otherwise to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations, or (ii) apply the proceeds to outstanding Obligations then due and payable (such Advance, a “Protective Advance”).

(e) [Intentionally Omitted].

2.4. Payments: Optional Prepayments.

(a) Payments by Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made by means as directed by the Agent for the account of each Lender from time to time.

(b) Proceeds of Collateral. If the Borrower or any other Loan Party receives a payment of the Proceeds of Collateral (including, without limitation, Proceeds of Collateral from the sale of Excluded Property), such Loan Party will promptly deposit the payment or proceeds into the Collection Account or another Deposit Account that is not an Excluded Account.

(c) Optional Prepayments Generally. Borrower may at any time upon written notice by Borrower to the Agent, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) three Business Days prior to the day of prepayment (which notice shall specify the amount and date of the prepayment), prepay the Advances in whole or in part in an amount greater than or equal to $1,000,000 (or the full remaining amount), in each instance, without penalty or premium (subject to the fees payable pursuant to Section 2.12). Any partial prepayments of Advances shall be applied as directed by Borrower.

(d) Notices. The notice of any prepayment pursuant to clause (c) above shall not thereafter be revocable by Borrower and the Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof; provided, however, that a notice of prepayment delivered by Borrower in connection with a prepayment of the Obligations in full may state that such prepayment is conditioned upon the consummation of equity offerings or the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in each case, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay the Obligations in whole or in part, in cash, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower

(by written notice provided to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date thereof) if such condition is not satisfied. The payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (except as provided in the foregoing proviso).

(e) Application of Payments.

(i) At all times during which an Event of Default is not continuing (unless otherwise specified herein), all amounts paid by Borrower to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in respect of the Obligations (other than (x) payments specifically earmarked by Borrower under Section 2.4(c) for application to certain principal, interest, fees or expenses hereunder and (y) regularly scheduled interest payments (whether at the Default Rate or otherwise)), shall be applied in the following order of priority:

FIRST, to the payment of fees and reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) of the Agent then due and payable hereunder or under any other Loan Documents;

SECOND, pro rata, to the payment of reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) of the Lenders to the extent reimbursable under the Loan Documents;

THIRD, pro rata to the payment of any other fees then due and payable to the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Documents;

FOURTH, pro rata to the payment of all Obligations consisting of accrued unpaid interest then due and payable to the Lenders hereunder;

FIFTH, pro rata, to the payment of principal then due and payable on the Obligations;

SIXTH, pro rata, to the payment of all other Obligations not otherwise referred to in this Section 2.4(e)(i) then due and payable.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Secured Parties entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth above. As payments are applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(i) or otherwise hereunder, payments shall be deemed applied as follows to the extent that an Event of Default is not then continuing:

(a)

FIRST to Obligations that (x) do not constitute “purchase money obligations” under Article 9 of the Code and were not incurred to fund the acquisition of Equipment and software (constituting “purchase money collateral” under Article 9 of the Code) pursuant to the Geokinetics Acquisition and (y) which are not secured by Liens on Equipment and software that constitute “purchase money collateral” (as defined in Article 9 of the Code) that were acquired with the Advances evidenced by such Obligations; and

(b)

SECOND to Obligations that (x) constitute “purchase money obligations” under Article 9 of the Code and were incurred to fund the acquisition of Equipment and software (constituting “purchase money collateral” under Article 9 of the Code) pursuant to the Geokinetics Acquisition and (y) which are secured by Liens on Equipment and software (constituting “purchase money collateral” under Article 9 of the Code) that was acquired with the Advances evidenced by such Obligations; provided, that Agent shall only maintain the Register in accordance with Section 2.8(b) and Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether any Obligations constitute “purchase money obligations” under Article 9 of the Code.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document which may be construed to the contrary, subsequent to the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payments and prepayments with respect to the Obligations (from realization on Collateral or otherwise) shall be applied as provided in Section 2.4(e)(i) or, with respect to any amounts remaining after the application of such payments and prepayments as set forth in clause FIRST of the first paragraph of Section 2.4(e)(i), as otherwise determined by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion; provided, that, upon satisfaction in full of all Obligations in cash, such amount shall be paid to Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law. Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and any Proceeds of Collateral.

2.5. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Scheduled Principal Payments. The principal amount of the Advances, together with all interest and fees due thereon, and all other outstanding Obligations shall be paid in full in cash on the Maturity Date.

(b) Overadvances. If at any time, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances made hereunder exceeds the Maximum Amount (such overage, the “Overadvance Amount”), then the Borrower shall immediately, upon demand of the Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) pay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to the Overadvance Amount.

(c) Asset Dispositions; Events of Loss. Subject to Section 2.5(g)(ii) and (iii) if a Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party shall at any time or from time to time:

(i)

make a Disposition; or

(ii)

suffer an Event of Loss;

and the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds received by the Loan Parties in connection with such Disposition or Event of Loss and all other Dispositions and Events of Loss occurring during such fiscal year exceed $250,000, then (A) Borrower shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10 Business Days) notify the Agent in writing (x) of such Disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Proceeds to be received by a Loan Party and/or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) and (y) whether Borrower intends to reinvest such Net Proceeds, and, if less than all such Net Proceeds, the amount to be reinvested, in accordance with this Section 2.5(c), and, upon receipt of such notice, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the same and (B) promptly following receipt by a Loan Party and/or such Subsidiary of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss Borrower shall deposit such Net Proceeds into a Deposit Account subject to a Control Agreement for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties (and such Net Proceeds shall remain in such Deposit Account until paid or reinvested in accordance with this Section 2.5(c)) and, unless Borrower intends to reinvest such Net Proceeds, Borrower shall offer in writing to deliver, or cause to be delivered, an amount equal to such excess Net Proceeds (or, if Borrower intends to reinvest only a portion of such Net Proceeds, any remaining Net Proceeds) to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders as a prepayment of the Advances, which prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.5(g). Within ten (10) Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of notice of the availability of such Net Proceeds (or remaining Net Proceeds), the Agent shall inform the Borrower whether one or more of the Lenders (based on the individual election of such Lender delivered in writing (including by email) to the Agent) shall require some or all of such Net Proceeds (or remaining Net Proceeds) to be

paid to the Agent as a prepayment of the Advances to be applied by the Agent in accordance with Section 2.5(g). Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing , such prepayment of Obligations shall not be required to the extent a Loan Party or such Subsidiary reinvests such Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss in capital assets then used or usable in the business of Borrower or such Subsidiary or to repair or replace the property subject to such Event of Loss, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such Disposition or Event of Loss; provided, that, (x) if the subject of such Disposition or Event of Loss is Collateral, then the Borrower shall use the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss to acquire assets that constitute Collateral and (y) upon consummation of such Disposition or the occurrence of such Event of Loss, all of the Net Proceeds from such Disposition are promptly remitted to a Deposit Account subject to a Control Agreement for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties and such Net Proceeds remain in such Deposit Account until the Net Proceeds are so reinvested or used to replace or repair the assets that are subject to such Event of Loss.

(d) [Intentionally Omitted].

(e) Alaska Tax Credits. Subject to Section 2.5(g)(ii) and (iii), within five (5) Business Days after receipt by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party of any payment or monetization with respect to Alaska Tax Credits, if any, Borrower shall notify the Agent in writing of its receipt of such funds (and Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the same), and if the Agent notifies the Borrower in writing of the Lenders’ desire that some or all of such payment be applied to reduce the Obligations hereunder (based on the direction of each individual Lender), the Borrower shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Agent an amount equal to such payment or monetization (or portion thereof, as applicable) requested by Agent for application to the outstanding Obligations in accordance with Section 2.5(g).

(f) Convertible Notes. Within one (1) Business Day after issuance of the Convertible Notes, Borrower shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent an amount equal to the Obligations then outstanding from Net Proceeds from the issuance of such Convertible Notes, for application to the outstanding Obligations in accordance with Section 2.5(g)(iv) and Parent agrees to cause such Net Proceeds to be remitted to Borrower promptly upon issuance of the Convertible Notes, to enable Borrower to timely comply with this clause (f). For the avoidance of doubt, all Obligations hereunder shall become due and payable one (1) Business Day after the Convertible Notes are issued.

(g) Application of Prepayments.

(i) Any prepayments pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or Section 2.5(e) shall be applied to prepay the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(e).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any Lender shall be permitted to waive all or any portion of its pro rata share of any such prepayments under this Section 2.5 (other than prepayments pursuant to Section 2.5(f) hereof, which shall not be waivable) by providing written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after receiving notice from Agent regarding a Disposition or Event of Loss pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or a notice of Borrower’s receipt of the Alaska Tax Credits pursuant to Section 2.5(e) provided that, in each case, if the Lender fails to timely waive such prepayment, such Lender shall be deemed to accept such payment.

(iii) Reserved.

(iv) Any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.5(f) shall be applied, pro rata, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Closing Date Advance, together with all unpaid interest and fees due thereon, until all of such Obligations have been paid in full in cash.

(h) No Implied Consent. Provisions contained in this Section 2.5 for the application of proceeds of certain transactions shall not be deemed to constitute consent of the Lenders to transactions that are not otherwise permitted by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents.

2.6. Interest Rates, Rates, Payments and Calculations.

(a) Interest Rates. Subject to Sections 2.6(b) and 2.6(d), all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate.

(b) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and at any time following the Termination Date, at the reasonable discretion of the Required Lenders and upon written notice by the Required Lenders to the Agent and the Borrower, the principal amount of all Obligations shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to two (2) percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder (the “Default Rate”). For avoidance of doubt, the Lenders may assess the Default Rate commencing on the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default irrespective of the date of reporting or declaration of such Event of Default. All such interest shall be payable in cash on demand of the Agent or the Required Lenders.

(c) Payment. Except as otherwise provided under Section 2.5, Section 2.6(b) and this Section 2.6(c), interest on the outstanding Obligations shall be paid in arrears not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the last Business Day of each calendar month. All payments received by the Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Interest shall also be paid with respect to any payment or prepayment of Obligations on the date so paid. If the Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by the Agent from Borrower and such related payment is not received by the Agent, then the Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(d) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue.

(e) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this 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. Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders, in executing and delivering this 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, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

(a) The Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall record on its books and records the amount of each Advance made, the interest rate applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. The Agent shall deliver to Borrower on a monthly basis a loan statement setting forth the amount of the principal balance of the Advances and the interest payment due on the next interest payment date. Such record and such loan statement shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Advances made by the Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon unless, within thirty (30) calendar days after Borrower’s request to inspect such record or Borrower’s receipt of a loan statement, as applicable. Borrower shall deliver to the Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in such record or loan statement, as applicable. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so, or any failure to deliver such loan statement shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation on Borrower hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Advances or provide the basis for any claim against the Agent.

(b) The Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.8(b) shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 12 (or at such other U.S. address as the Agent may notify Borrower) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of each Lender in the Advances, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Advance, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders (and each change thereto pursuant to Section 14.1, (2) Reserved, (3) the amount of each Advance and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, (4) the amount of any principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Advance owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time, and (5) any other payment received by the Agent from Borrower and its application to the Obligations. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Advances (including any Notes evidencing such Advances) are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Advances shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 2.8 and Section 14 shall be construed so that the Advances are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the IRC.

(d) The Loan Parties, the Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to this Section 2.8 as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for access by Borrower, the Agent or such Lender during normal business hours and from time to time upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

2.10. Effect of Maturity. On the Termination Date, all obligations of the Lenders to provide Advances and any other additional credit hereunder shall automatically be terminated and all of the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without notice or demand and Borrower shall immediately repay all of the Obligations in full in cash. No termination of the obligations of the Lenders (other than cash payment in full of the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations)) or termination of the Commitments and/or any other obligation of the Lenders to provide additional credit hereunder shall relieve or discharge any Loan Party of its duties, obligations, or covenants hereunder or under any other Loan Document and the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral shall continue to secure the Obligations and shall remain in effect until all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) have been paid in full in cash and the Lenders’ obligations to provide additional credit hereunder shall have been terminated.

The Agent shall have no duty to investigate whether there is any suit, action, proceeding or claim pending or threatened against an Indemnified Person under this Agreement with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities, and shall be fully protected and shall have no liability to any Indemnified Person or any other Person for releasing or terminating any filings or other agreements that perfect the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral in accordance with this Section 2.10.

2.11. [Intentionally Omitted].

2.12. Fees.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(d) Non-Funding Lenders. Nothing in this Section 2.13(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the remaining provisions of Section 2.13, shall be deemed to require the Agent or any other Lender to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Agent, any Lender or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(i) Responsibility. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to fund any Advance hereunder on the date specified herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Advance and neither the Agent nor, any other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Advance hereunder.

(ii)

[Intentionally Omitted].

(iii) Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be, or have its Advances and Commitments, included in the determination of “Required Lenders” or “Lenders directly affected” pursuant to Section 15) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document; provided, that (A) the Commitment of a Non-Funding Lender may not be increased, extended or reinstated, (B) the principal of a Non-Funding Lender’s Advances may not be reduced or forgiven, and (C) the interest rate applicable to Obligations owing to a Non-Funding Lender may not be reduced, in each case, without the consent of such Non-Funding Lender. Moreover, for the purposes of determining Required Lenders, the Advances and Commitments held by Non-Funding Lenders shall be excluded from the total Advances and Commitments outstanding.

(iv) Borrower Payments to a Non-Funding Lender. The Agent shall be authorized to use all portions of any payments received by the Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Secured Parties thereof (or Borrower). The Agent shall be entitled to hold as cash collateral in a non-interest bearing account up to an amount equal to such Non-Funding Lender’s pro rata share, until the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) are paid in full in cash and all Commitments have been terminated. Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, the Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. In the event that the Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures its status as a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (v) below or ceases to be a Non- Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, the Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender. The “Aggregate Excess Funding Amount” of a Non-Funding Lender shall be the aggregate amount of all unfunded or unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to the Agent and other Lenders under the Loan Documents.

(v) Cure. A Lender may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender if such Lender (A) fully pays to the Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon and (B) timely makes the next reimbursement required to be made by such Lender. Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder.

(vi) Procedures. The Agent is hereby authorized by each Loan Party and each other Secured Party to establish procedures (and to amend such procedures from time to time) to facilitate administration and servicing of the Advances and other matters incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent is hereby authorized to establish procedures to make available or deliver, or to accept, notices, documents and similar items on, by posting to or submitting and/or completion, on Debtdomain or IntraLinks systems.

3.	SECURITY INTEREST.

3.1. Grant of Security Interest. Borrower and each Loan Party hereby unconditionally grants, assigns, and pledges to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure payment and performance of the Obligations, a continuing security interest (hereinafter referred to as the “Security Interest”) in all of such Borrower’s and Loan Party’s right, title, and interest in and to the Collateral, as security for the payment and performance of all Obligations. Borrower and each Loan Party shall also grant the Agent a Lien and security interest in all Commercial Tort Claims that it may have from time to time against any Person. The Security Interest created hereby secures the payment and performance of the Obligations, whether now existing or arising hereafter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by Borrower or any other Loan Party to the Secured Parties, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable (in whole or in part) as a claim in an Insolvency Proceeding involving Borrower or any other Loan Party due to the existence of such Insolvency Proceeding. The parties hereto intend to create a perfected purchase money security interest in the Collateral (including without limitation, in the Equipment and software) acquired pursuant to the Geokinetics Acquisition.

3.2. Borrower Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) Borrower and each other Loan Party shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral to perform all of the duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Secured Parties of any of the rights hereunder shall not release Borrower or any other Loan Party from any of its duties or obligations under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, and (c) the Secured Parties shall not have any obligation or liability under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Secured Parties be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Borrower or any other Loan Party thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

3.3. Assignment of Insurance. As additional security for the Obligations, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby collaterally assigns to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties all rights of Borrower and such Loan Party under every policy of insurance covering the Collateral and all other assets and property of Borrower and each other Loan Party (including, without limitation business interruption insurance and proceeds thereof) and all business records and other documents relating to it subject to Section 2.5(c) hereof, and all monies (including proceeds and refunds) that may be payable under any policy, and, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby directs the issuer of each policy to pay all such

monies directly and solely to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. At any time, whether or not a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in the Agent’s or Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s name, execute and deliver proofs of claim, receive payment of proceeds and endorse checks and other instruments representing payment of the policy of insurance, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release claims against the issuer of any policy. Any monies received under any insurance policy collaterally assigned to the Agent, other than liability insurance policies, or received as payment of any award or compensation for condemnation or taking by eminent domain, shall be paid to the Agent and, as determined by the Required Lenders in their Permitted Discretion, may be applied to prepayment of the Obligations or disbursed to Borrower under payment terms reasonably satisfactory to the Agent for application to the cost of repairs, replacements, or restorations of the affected Collateral which shall be effected with reasonable promptness and shall be of a value at least equal to the value of the items or property destroyed.

3.4. Financing Statements and Intellectual Property Filings.

Borrower and each other Loan Party authorizes the Agent:

(a) (i) to perfect the Agent’s Security Interest in the Collateral, by filing or authorizing the filing of, at the expense of the Loan Parties UCC-1 financing statements naming the Agent, as secured party and describing the Collateral as “all personal property” or “all assets” and/or describing specific items of Collateral including without limitation any Commercial Tort Claims. All financing statements, filed in favor of the Agent, filed before the date of this Agreement to perfect the Security Interest in the Collateral were authorized by Borrower and each other Loan Party and are hereby ratified.

(b) to file or authorize the filing or recording, as applicable of, at the expense of the Loan Parties, one or more Copyright security agreements or Patent and Trademark security agreements (and/or any amendments or supplements to the foregoing) to further evidence the Agent’s Lien on such Loan Party’s Patents, Trademarks, or Copyrights (if any), and the General Intangibles of such Loan Party relating thereto or represented thereby.

Notwithstanding the foregoing authorization, in no event shall the Agent be obligated to prepare or file any financing statements, Copyright security agreements or Patent and Trademark security agreements whatsoever, or to maintain the perfection of the security interest hereunder, which shall be the sole obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties; provided, that Agent shall file or authorize the filing of financing statements, Copyright security agreements and Patent and Trademark security agreements and take steps to perfect liens in accordance with the direction of the Required Lenders.

3.5. [Intentionally Omitted].

(a) Create, incur, assume, suffer to exist, guarantee, or otherwise become or remain, directly or indirectly, liable with respect to any Indebtedness, except for Permitted Indebtedness.

(b) Incur any Permitted Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of a Loan Party unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Borrower solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior Lien basis.

For purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.1, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.1(a), Borrower will be permitted to classify and divide such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, and later reclassify and redivide all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness among any one or more of such clauses and/or Section 7.1(a), in any manner that complies with Section 7.1.

10.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

10.1. Rights and Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent or its authorized representatives (at the written direction of the Required Lenders) may in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document or by applicable law, do any one or more of the following:

(i) declare the Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any of the other Loan Documents, immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable and Borrower shall be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and each other Loan Party;

(ii) declare the Closing Date Advance Commitments and any other funding obligations of each Lender under this Agreement terminated, whereupon such Closing Date Advance Commitments or other funding obligations shall immediately be terminated together with any obligation of any Lender hereunder to make Advances or extend any other credit hereunder;

(iii) give notice to an Account Debtor or other Person obligated to pay an Account, a General Intangible, Negotiable Collateral, or other amount due, notice that the Account, General Intangible, Negotiable Collateral or other amount due has been assigned to the Agent for security and must be paid directly to the Agent and the Agent may collect the Accounts, General Intangible and Negotiable Collateral of Borrower and each other Loan Party directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of the Obligations under the Loan Documents;

(iv) without notice to or consent from any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and without any obligation to pay rent or other compensation, take exclusive possession of all locations where any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries conduct its business or has any rights of possession and use the locations to store, process, manufacture, sell, use, and liquidate or otherwise dispose of items that are Collateral, and for any other incidental purposes deemed appropriate by the Required Lenders in good faith, including, without limitation, the right, in the Required Lenders’ Permitted Discretion, through any Person or otherwise, to enter upon any job site and complete any portion of any of Borrower’s projects as the Required Lenders deem necessary to collect or realize on any Collateral; and

(v) in the Agent’s name or in each Loan Party’s name, as such Loan Party’s agent and attorney-in-fact, notify the United States Postal Service to change the address for delivery of mail

to any address designated by the Required Lenders, otherwise intercept mail, and receive, open and dispose of such Loan Party’s mail, applying all Collateral as permitted under this Agreement and holding all other mail for such Loan Party’s account or forwarding such mail to such Loan Party’s last known address;

(vi) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower and each other Loan Party expressly agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i) The Agent or its authorized representatives (at the written direction of the Required Lenders), without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral, including with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the applicable Loan Party to the Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Required Lenders shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained) and (i) require Loan Parties to, and Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of the Agent (at the written direction of the Required Lenders) forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Agent and make it available to the Agent at one or more locations designated by the Agent where such Borrower or other Loan Party conducts business, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Agent’s or Loan Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as the Required Lenders may deem commercially reasonable. Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that Borrower and each Loan Party’s Equipment is highly specialized and not widely marketable, and as such, the Agent shall not be required to widely or generally advertise any private or public sale of such Equipment. Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days’ notice to such Borrower or such other Loan Party of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Agent (at the written direction of the Required Lenders) may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time, and such sale may be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code. Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that any sale of Collateral to a counterparty to a Material Contract, or to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and Borrower or such other Loan Party, is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Code;

(ii) The Agent or its authorized representatives (at the written direction of the Required Lenders) may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon any Loan Party or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), (i) with respect to any Loan Party’s Deposit Accounts in which the Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the Code, instruct the bank

maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Loan Party to remit the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Agent, and (ii) with respect to any Loan Party’s Securities Accounts in which the Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-106 of the Code, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the applicable Loan Party to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of the Agent, or (B) liquidate any financial assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of the Agent;

(iii) any cash held by the Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 10.5. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Obligations in full, Borrower and each other Loan Party shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency; and

(iv) the Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and that if an Event of Default shall occur the Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. The Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for each Loan Party or for the properties and assets of each Loan Party, and Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Borrower or such other Loan Party may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Agent, and further agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such receiver may be granted the power to sell any Collateral, subject only to the Agent’s rights therein. Borrower acknowledges that the nature of its business, which includes progress billing, technical contracts, and the use of Equipment in varied and remote locations, renders the appointment of a receiver reasonably necessary and, makes other remedies inadequate for the liquidation of the Collateral, to the extent the Agent elects to proceed with such appointment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.1(a), upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.4 or Section 9.5, in addition to the remedies set forth above, without any notice to Borrower or any other Person or any act by the Agent or the Lenders, all obligations of the Lenders to provide any further Advances or extensions of credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall automatically and immediately become due and payable and Borrower shall be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

10.2. Pledged Collateral.

(a) Voting Rights. During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Agent to the relevant Loan Party or Loan Parties, the Agent or its nominee (at the written direction of the Required Lenders) may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate or other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any Pledged Collateral upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of Pledged Stock, the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Agent (at the written direction of the Required Lenders) may reasonably determine), all without liability (except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or Lenders as

determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal) except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Agent shall have no duty to any Loan Party to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(b) Proxies. In order to permit the Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto during the continuance of an Event of Default and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, upon an Event of Default (i) each Loan Party shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Loan Party hereby grants to the Agent (subject to the terms of Section 10.3) an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).

(c) Authorization of Issuers. Each Loan Party hereby expressly irrevocably authorizes and instructs, without any further instructions from such Loan Party, each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Loan Party to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Agent in writing that states that an Event of Default is continuing and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each Loan Party agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected from liabilities to such Loan Party in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, during the continuance of an Event of Default pay any dividend or make any other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Agent.

(d) Sale of Pledged Collateral.

(i) Each Loan Party recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other filings, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(ii) Each Loan Party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts (other than registering securities for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws) as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 10 valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. Each Loan Party further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained herein will cause

irreparable injury to the Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained herein shall be specifically enforceable against such Loan Party, and such Loan Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under this Agreement. Each Loan Party waives any and all rights of contribution or subrogation upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral by the Agent.

10.3. Agent Appointed Attorney in Fact. Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and such Loan Party and in the name of Borrower or such Loan Party or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Agent has been directed in writing by the Required Lenders to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:

(i) to ask, demand, collect, ▇▇▇ for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Accounts or any other Collateral of such Borrower or such other Loan Party;

(ii) to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents. Negotiable Collateral or Chattel Paper;

(iii) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Agent (at the written direction of the Required Lenders) may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of such Borrower or such other Loan Party or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Secured Parties with respect to any of the Collateral;

(iv) to repair, alter, or supply Goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Person obligated to Borrower or such other Loan Party in respect of any Account of such Borrower or such other Loan Party;

(v) to use any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of such Borrower or such other Loan Party including but not limited to any labels. Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs. Copyrights, or advertising matter, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale, or selling Inventory or other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Borrower or such other Loan Party;

(vi) to take exclusive possession of all locations where Borrower or any other Loan Party conducts its business or has rights of possession, without notice to or consent of Borrower or any Loan Party and to use such locations to store, process, manufacture, sell, use, and liquidate or otherwise dispose of items that are Collateral, without obligation to pay rent or other compensation for the possession or use of any location;

(vii) the Agent shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name or in the applicable Loan Party’s name, to enforce the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if the Agent shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Borrower or such other Loan Party shall, at the request of the Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by the Agent in aid of such enforcement; and

(viii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all Commitments of the Lenders to provide Advances are terminated and all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) have been paid in full in cash.

10.4. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Agent and the Lenders shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by applicable law, or in equity. No exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Agent or Lenders of any Default or Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Agent or the Lenders shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

10.5. Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or the Agent or the Lenders have exercised any remedy set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments received by the Agent or the Lenders upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(e).

10.6. Marshaling. The Agent or the Lenders shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Agent or the Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

10.7. License. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby grants to the Agent an irrevocable (so long as Obligations remain outstanding), non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license or sublicense to use or otherwise exploit all Intellectual Property rights of Borrower and such Loan Party now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used in the compilation or printout thereof (subject to any confidentiality provisions applicable to such Intellectual Property rights), for the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 10, including: (a) completing the manufacture of any in-process materials following any Event of Default so that such materials become saleable Inventory, all in accordance with the same quality standards previously adopted by Borrower or such other Loan Party for its own manufacturing; and (b) selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any or all Collateral following any Event of Default.

11.

WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

Demand, Protest, etc. Borrower and each other Loan Party waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default (except as expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document) or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guaranties at any time held by the Agent or any Lender on which Borrower or such other Loan Party may in any way be liable.

(iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower and such other Loan Parties.

11.3. Indemnification. Borrower and each other Loan Party shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Lenders, the Lender-Related Parties, the Agent and Agent-Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, losses, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution and delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring, forbearance or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and the transactions related to the Loan Documents as set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of compliance by Borrower and each other Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries with the terms of the Loan Documents, (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions related to the Loan Documents as set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto, (c) in connection with the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) with respect to the failure by Borrower or any other Loan Party to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent or Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and (f) in connection with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities or Remedial Actions related in any way to any such assets or properties of such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (each and all of the foregoing, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or its officers, directors, employees, or attorneys as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower or any other Loan Party was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower or such other Loan Party with respect thereto.

ASSIGNS; SUCCESSORS; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS.

14.1. Binding Effect, Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Borrower, the other Loan Parties hereto (in each case except for Section 17), the Agent and each Lender receiving the benefits of the Loan Documents and each other Secured Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 15.1), none of Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein. No consent to assignment by the Required Lenders shall release Borrower nor any other Loan Party from its Obligations.

14.2. Assignments and Participations.

(a) [Intentionally Omitted].

(b) Right to Assign. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 14.2(b), each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a “Sale”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of Closing Date Advance Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Advances) to (i) any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender), (ii) any Affiliate, Lender Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender) or (iii) any other Person with the prior written consent (which consent shall, in each case, not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Agent and, as long as no Event of Default under Sections 9.1, 9.4 or 9.5 is continuing, Borrower (which consent shall be deemed to have been given if Borrower has not responded in writing within ten (10) Business Days after any request for such consent); provided, however, that (w) such Sales must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to the Advances and Closing Date Advance Commitments, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Advances and Closing Date Advance Commitments subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate, Lender Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates, Lender Affiliate and Approved Funds) entire interest in the Credit Facility or is made with the prior written consent of Borrower (to the extent Borrower’s consent is otherwise required) and the Agent and (y) such Sales by Lenders who are Non-Funding Lenders due to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall be subject to the Agent’s prior written consent in all instances, unless in connection with such sale, such Non-Funding Lender cures, or causes the cure of, its Non-Funding Lender status as contemplated in Section 2.13(d)(v). The Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale to a Loan Party, or to a Person that would be a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon Sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable. It being understood that notwithstanding anything else to the contrary provided herein (but subject to the last paragraph of this clause (b)), the Initial Lenders are permitted to sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of their rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of Closing Date Advance Commitments and their rights and obligations with respect to Advances) in any amount, at any time, and to any Person at the sole discretion of Initial Lenders, without the consent of Agent (other than to the extent that indemnification obligations owed by an assigning Lender to Agent were accrued prior to the date of such assignment and Agent has made demand upon such Lender in writing for indemnity prior to such assignment, in each case, in accordance with the provisions hereof, in which case, such assignment shall be subject to the consent of the Agent, which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld provided that Agent shall have no such consent right in regards to any assignment or prospective assignment that Agent was aware of on the date hereof), any other Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary provided herein, as long as no Event of Default under Sections 9.1, 9.4 or 9.5 is continuing, no Lender (including the Initial Lenders) shall be permitted to assign any Advances or Closing Date Advance Commitments to any Disqualified Person, Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender. The Agent and each assignor of Closing Date Advance Commitments or an Advance hereunder shall be entitled to rely conclusively on a representation of the assignee Lender in the relevant Assignment that such assignee is not a Disqualified Person, Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, provided, that such reliance by such assignor is in good faith and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of the Sale. Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of, or enforcing provisions relating to Disqualified Persons, Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders.

(d) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (f) or (g) below) shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by the Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the Assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Agent), a completed administrative questionnaire in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent (other than to the extent that the assignee is already a Lender), any Tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 16.1 and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to the Agent, unless waived or reduced by the Agent in its sole discretion; provided, that (i) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate, Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale, and (ii) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate, Lender Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates, Lender Affiliates or Approved Funds of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Sale (unless waived or reduced by the Agent). Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such Assignment is made in accordance with clause (iii) of Section 14.2(b) upon the Agent (and Borrower, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment.

(e) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by the Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.8(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, subject to the requirements of Section 16.1 and to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment and those obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Section 19.8(a) (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(f) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 14.2, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Advances), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to the Agent or Borrower or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Indebtedness or equity securities, by notice to the Agent and Borrower; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder and the Agent and the Loan Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender.

(g) Participants. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 14.2 each Lender may, without notice to or consent from the Agent or Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Advances); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such participation, (i) no such participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Advances hereunder, and none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder and such Lender shall remain liable for the making of all Advances hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that each such participant shall be entitled to the benefit of Section 16, but, with respect to Section 16.1, only to the extent such participant delivers the Tax forms required pursuant to Section 16.1(f) (it being understood that the documentation required thereunder shall be delivered to the participating Lender) and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such participation, provided, however, that in no case shall a participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, (iii) each such participant shall be subject to the provisions of Section 14.3 and Section 16.1(e) as if it were an assignee under Section 14.2(b) and (iv) the consent of such participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except that the agreement pursuant to which the Lender sells such participation may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such participant, agree to any amendments, waivers or consents described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 15.1 (with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled) or those described in clause (vii) of Section 15.1(a). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any such Advance, Closing Date Advance Commitment or obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person other than the Agent except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Advance or obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.l03-l(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as the Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary provided herein, no Lender shall be permitted to sell participations with respect to Advances to a Disqualified Person. Each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on a representation of the participant in the applicable participation agreement that such participant is not a Disqualified Person, provided, that such reliance by such Lender is in good faith and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of such participation.

14.3. Replacement of Lender. Within forty-five days after: (i) receipt by Borrower of written notice and demand from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional amounts as provided in Sections 16.1 and/or 16.2, and in each case such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 16.1(e) or (ii) any failure by any Lender (other than the Agent or an Affiliate of the Agent) to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which Required Lenders have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender (or each Lender directly affected thereby, as applicable) is required with

respect thereto, Borrower may, at its option, notify the Agent and such Affected Lender (or such defaulting or non-consenting Lender) of Borrower’s intention to obtain, at Borrower’s sole expense and effort, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender (or such defaulting or non-consenting Lender, as the case may be), which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Required Lenders. In the event Borrower obtains a Replacement Lender within forty-five (45) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender (or such defaulting or non-consenting Lender, as the case may be) shall sell and assign its Advances and Commitments to such Replacement Lender without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 14.2), at par; provided that, (a) that Borrower has reimbursed such Affected Lender for its increased costs, if any, for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment; (b) such Affected Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 16.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 16.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and (e) in the case of any assignment resulting from any failure described in Section 14.3(ii), the Replacement Lender shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or modification. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment pursuant to Section 14.2 within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 14.3 and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 14.3. Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment so executed by Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 14.3 and Section 14.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender that is an Impacted Lender, the Agent or Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain a Replacement Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such Impacted Lender at any time with three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender (unless notice is not practicable under the circumstances) and cause such Lender’s Advances and Commitments to be sold and assigned, in whole or in part, at par. Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 14.2, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, that any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.

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.

15.

AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.

15.1. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 17.10 hereof, no amendment or waiver of, or supplement or other modification (which shall include any direction to the Agent by the Required Lenders) to, any Loan Document (other than any fee letter or similar agreement) or any provision thereof, and no consent with respect to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders and delivered to the Agent if signed by the Required Lenders and not the Agent), and Borrower and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, supplement (including any additional Loan Document) or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (or by the Agent with the consent of all the Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby), in

addition to the Agent, the Required Lenders (or by the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and Borrower, do any of the following:

(i) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or reinstate any Closing Date Advance Commitment of any Lender terminated pursuant to Section 10.1 (it being understood that waivers or modifications of any Defaults or Events of Default or of any mandatory prepayment or reductions of Commitments shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of any such Lender);

(ii) postpone or delay any date fixed for, or reduce or waive, any scheduled installment of principal or any payment of interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document (for the avoidance of doubt, mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.5 may be postponed, delayed, reduced, waived or modified with only the consent of Required Lenders);

(iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein (it being agreed that waiver of the default interest margin shall only require the consent of Required Lenders) or the amount of interest payable in cash specified herein on any Advance or Closing Date Advance Commitment (or on any other Obligation), or of any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(iv) (A) change or have the effect of changing the priority or pro rata treatment of any payments (including voluntary and mandatory prepayments and, including without limitation, as set forth in Section 2.5 hereof) or of any reductions in Commitments, or (B) extend the date fixed for any scheduled installment of principal or interest due to any of the Lenders under any Loan Document (it being understood that application of payments as determined by the Required Lenders in accordance with the penultimate sentence of Section 2.4(e)(ii) shall not constitute a change or have the effect of changing the priority or pro rata treatment of any payments);

(v) Reserved;

(vi) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder;

(vii) amend this Section 15.1 or, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the definition of Required Lenders or any provision providing for consent or other action by all Lenders ; or

(viii) discharge any Loan Party from its respective payment Obligations under the Loan Documents, or release all or substantially all of the Collateral, in each case, except as otherwise may be provided or permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

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

(d) If any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender (or each affected Lender) and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, Borrower may replace such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Section 14.3.

15.2. No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No failure by the Agent or the Lenders to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by the Agent or the Lenders in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Agent or the Lenders will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by the Agent or the Lenders on any occasion shall affect or diminish the Agent’s or any Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrower or any other Loan Party of any provision of this Agreement. The Agent’s and Lenders’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that the Agent and Lenders may have.

16.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY.

16.1. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party hereunder or other Loan Document will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes; provided, that if any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from such payments under applicable law then (i) the Loan Party making such payment shall be entitled to withhold or deduct such Taxes as required by applicable law, (ii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) if such Taxes described in this proviso are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that the payment of the applicable amount due under this Agreement, or Loan Document, including any additional amount paid pursuant to this Section 16.1(a), after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Indemnified Taxes, will be equal to the amount that would have been payable had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b) Any Loan Party that made a payment of Taxes to a Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 16.1(a) will furnish to the Agent as soon as practicable after such payment, the original or certified copies of receipts evidencing such payment by the applicable Loan Party, or a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing provisions, the Loan Parties shall timely pay, or shall cause to be timely paid, to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.

(d) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify, within (ten) 10 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Agent), the Agent or each Lender (without duplication) for all Indemnified Taxes (including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 16.1) paid or payable by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate of the Agent or such Lender (or of the Agent on behalf of such Lender) claiming any compensation under this Section 16.1(d) setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to Borrower with copy to the Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(e) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable or requiring the Loan Parties to pay additional amounts to any Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 16.1 shall (at the request of the Borrower) use its reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office or assign its

rights and obligations hereunder to another or its offices, branches or affiliates if such a change or assignment (i) would reduce payment of any such additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16.1 and (ii) would not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(f) (i) Each 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 Agent and Borrower at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Agent or Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Lender, if reasonably requested by the Agent or Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Agent or Borrower as will enable the Agent or Borrower 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 Section 16.1(f)(ii), (iii), and (v) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Each Foreign Lender shall on or prior to the date such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender hereunder and from time to time as required by applicable law and if requested by Borrower or the Agent, provide the Agent and Borrower with two duly executed and properly completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Form W-8ECI (or successor form) claiming exemption from U.S. withholding Tax because the income is effectively connected with such Lender’s U.S. trade or business or Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form), as applicable, claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding Tax under an income Tax treaty, (B) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the IRC, Form W-8BEN or W- 8BEN-E (or successor forms), as applicable, claiming exemption from U.S. withholding Tax under the portfolio interest exemption and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to Borrower and the Agent that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), (C) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI or IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-9 (or successor forms), as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the IRC, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner or (D) any other applicable form prescribed by applicable law certifying as to the entitlement of such Foreign Lender to such exemption from U.S. withholding Tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender under the Loan Documents, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Unless Borrower and the Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Foreign Lender are not subject to U.S. withholding Tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable Tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(iii) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder and from time to time if requested by Borrower or the Agent, provide the Agent and Borrower with two completed originals of Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding Tax.

(iv) [Intentionally Omitted].

(v) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Agent and Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Agent and Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 147 l(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Agent and Borrower as may be necessary for the Agent and Borrower 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 Section 16.1(f)(v), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivers expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly (1) deliver to Borrower and the Agent (in such number of originals or certified copies as shall be requested by the recipient) renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax or backup withholding or (2) notify the Agent and Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) If any Lender determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 16.1(including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16.1), it shall pay to the relevant Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 16.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such Loan Party, upon the request of such Lender, shall repay to such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 16.1(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16.1(g), in no event shall the Lender be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 16.1(g) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the 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 with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 16.1(g) shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within (ten) 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 16.1 attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.2(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case, that are payable or paid by the 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 Agent shall be

conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the 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 Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 16.1 (h).

(i) For purposes of this Section 16.1, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

16.2. Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a) If any Lender shall have determined that:

(i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation after the Effective Date;

(ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation after the Effective Date;

(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof after the Effective Date; or

(iv) compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or any entity controlling the Lender, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation in clauses (i) through (iii) above; materially affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entities’ policies with respect to capital adequacy) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitment(s), loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within thirty (30) days of written demand of such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender (or the entity controlling the Lender) for such increase; provided, that Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2(a) for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower in writing of the amounts and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the event giving rise to such increase is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If any Change in Law shall subject any Lender or Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Agent of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or Agent of participating in, issuing or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or Agent the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Agent as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (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 in respect of this clause (ii) pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change in Capital Adequacy Regulation after the Effective Date under Section 16.2(a) above, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(i) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 16.2 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Legal Requirements), to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

16.3. Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Section 16 shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

17.

THE AGENT.

17.1. Appointment.

(a) Subject to Section 17.8, each Lender (and each subsequent maker of any Advance by its making thereof) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to exercise the powers of the Agent as set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including: (i) to receive on behalf of each Lender any payment of principal of or interest on the Advances outstanding hereunder and all other amounts accrued hereunder for the account of the Lenders and paid to such Agent, and to distribute promptly to each Lender its share of all payments so received; (ii) to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Advances, and related matters and to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Collateral and related matters; (iii) to execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iv) to make the Advances on behalf of the applicable Lenders as provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) Reserved; (vi) at the direction of the Required Lenders, to perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lenders with respect to Borrower or any other Loan Party, the Obligations, or otherwise related to any of same to the extent reasonably incidental to the exercise by such Agent of the rights and remedies specifically authorized to be exercised by such Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vi) to incur and pay such fees necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (viii) to execute and deliver the Loan Documents, as Agent, to accept delivery of the Loan Documents from the Loan Parties and to perform all of its undertakings and obligations under each such Loan Document; (ix) to take such actions as it may be necessary or desirable (as directed by the Required Lenders) for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein and (x) to take such action as such Agent deems appropriate on its behalf to administer the Advances and the Loan Documents and to exercise such other powers delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the power to give or to refuse to give notices, waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or to refuse to make determinations and calculations) together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes hereof and thereof. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Advances), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) only upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders required under this Agreement), and such instructions of the Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders and all makers

of Advances; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, exposes the Agent to liability or which may expose the Agent to liability or is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 17, the Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made in compliance with this section and without gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal. The provisions of this Section 17 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

17.2. Nature of Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and the Guarantors in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and the Guarantors and the value of the Collateral, and the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession before the making of the Closing Date Advance hereunder or at any time or times thereafter. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by Borrower or the Lenders, and shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, and other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to it or as to those conditions precedent specifically required to be to its satisfaction, (vi) the existence, value, perfection or priority of any collateral security or the financial or other condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries or any other Loan Party, obligor or guarantor, or (vii) any failure by Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person (other than itself) to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the performance or observance of any covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of the outstanding Advances or any components thereof.

17.3. Rights, Exculpation, Etc.

(a) The Agent and its directors, officers, affiliates (other than any affiliate in its capacity as Lender, such Lender to be subject to the corresponding applicable provisions of this Agreement), agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (which shall not include any action taken or omitted to be taken strictly in accordance with any express direction, instruction or certificate of the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders required under this Agreement), for which the Agent shall have no liability) as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal. Without

limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Advance as the owner thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 14 hereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Agent or counsel to any Loan Party), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by any of them and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountant or experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including, without limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or Document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, sufficiency, value or collectability of the Collateral, the condition of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by Borrower or any Guarantor in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. The Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 2.4(e), 2.5(g) and 10.5, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Agent may at any time request written instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders required under this Agreement), including by e-mail from counsel to such Required Lenders or other percentage of Lenders, with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until they shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders required under this Agreement). The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders required under this Agreement).

(b) The Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of the Collateral from any court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) The Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Loan Document, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Loan Document against the Agent. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and the Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action which is discretionary under the provisions hereof except as set forth in Section 17.1(a). The Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in them by this Agreement at the request or direction of the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders required under this Agreement) pursuant to this Agreement, unless (i) the Agent shall have been provided adequate security and indemnity as determined by the Agent in its sole discretion (including without

limitation from the Lenders and/or Borrower or the Guarantors) against any and all costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by them in compliance with such request or direction, including reasonable advances as may be requested by the Agent and (ii) the Agent shall receive such written instructions as the Agent deems appropriate. If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be instructed by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders required under this Agreement) in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section 17.3(c); provided, that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such instructions, the 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 they shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining.

(d) Whenever in the administration of this Agreement, or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, the Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable (in each case, in its sole discretion) that a matter be proved or established with respect to Borrower or the Guarantors in connection with the taking, suffering or omitting of any action hereunder by the Agent, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively provided or established by a certificate of an Authorized Person of Borrower delivered to the Agent and such certificate shall be full warranty to the Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted in reliance thereon; provided, that Borrower shall have no obligation to provide any such certificate except as otherwise required hereunder.

(e) Agent shall not be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(f) In no event shall Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, future changes in applicable law or regulation, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that Agent shall use reasonable efforts consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

17.4. Reliance. The Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond or other paper or document which they believe in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of facsimiles, to have been sent by the proper party or parties. In the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal, Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to it and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement or any Loan Document. The Agent shall not be required to keep themselves informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other document, referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or books of Borrower, any other Loan Party or their respective Subsidiaries. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the Loan Documents and the matters contemplated therein.

17.5. Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, to the extent that any Agent is not promptly reimbursed and indemnified by Borrower, each Lender will

reimburse and indemnify such Agent and any Agent-Related Party from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to the outstanding Advances (and other Obligations) owed to and Commitments of each Lender, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 17.10, and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Agent; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal that such liability resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 17.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, or the earlier resignation or removal of the Agent. If after payment and distribution of any amount by Agent to Lenders, any Lender or any other Person, including the Loan Parties, any creditor of any Loan Party, a liquidator, administrator or trustee in bankruptcy, recovers from Agent any amount found to have been wrongfully paid to Agent or disbursed by Agent to Lenders, then each Lender shall reimburse Agent for such amount received by such Lender.

17.6. Agent Individually. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall, to the extent applicable, have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in its capacity as a Lender, if any, as any other Lender and may, to the extent applicable, exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the terms “Lender,” “Lenders,” and “Required Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include, to the extent applicable, such Person in its individual capacity as a Lender, if applicable. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial or other business with Borrower or any other Loan Party as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the other Lenders.

17.7. Sub-agents. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Agent-Related Parties. The provisions of Section 11.3, this Section 17 and Section 19.9 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Agent-Related Parties of the Agent and such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the activities of the Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

17.8. Successor Agent.

(a) The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Borrower and each Lender. The Agent may be removed with or without cause by the Required Lenders upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice from the Required Lenders to the Agent. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent with, so long as no Event of Default under Sections 9.4 or 9.5 exists, the prior written consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall

thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be immediately discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) If no such successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation or thirty (30) days after the Required Lenders give notice of removal to the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may (but is not required to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent; provided, that if the Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for in clause (b) above. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor.

(d) After the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 17.8, the provisions of this Section 17, Section 11.3, and Section 19.9 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Agent-Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent or on behalf of the Agent and if applicable, while continuing to hold collateral security on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents. Any corporation or association into which the Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated shall be the Agent under this Agreement without further act.

17.9. Delivery of Information. The Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Agent from the Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request. Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth herein, neither the Agent nor the Loan Parties shall deliver to any Lender any notices, reports, letters, financial statements, statements or other documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6 hereof unless such Lender requests such notice, reports, financial statements, letters, statements or other documents from Agent or Loan Party. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, upon receipt of notices from the Loan Parties required by this Agreement, Agent shall forthwith notify the Lenders of the existence and content of such notices.

17.10. Collateral Matters.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and ratifies Agent’s entry into this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees that any action taken by the Agent with respect to the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Lenders. The Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which

may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (though the Agent shall have no obligation to take sure actions). The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral upon the payment of all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) and termination of the Commitments; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders.

(b) Without in any manner limiting the Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 17.10(a)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Agent under Section 17.10(a). Upon receipt by the Agent of confirmation from the requisite amount of Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by Borrower set forth in a certificate of the Borrower executed by an Authorized Person, the Agent shall at Borrower’s sole cost and expense (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon such Collateral, and acknowledge and agree that any such action by the Agent shall bind the Secured Parties; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse, representation or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon all interests in the Collateral retained by Borrower or any Guarantor.

(c) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists, is genuine, or is owned by Borrower or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Agent’s Liens granted to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document are valid or have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to maintain the perfection of any Agent’s Liens on the Collateral, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent in this Section 17.10 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given that the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender, except upon being directed by the Required Lenders or as otherwise provided herein.

(d) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the Agent shall have a duty of ordinary care with respect to any Collateral delivered to the Agent or its designated representatives that is in the Agent’s or its designated representatives’ possession or control. The Agent shall not be responsible for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of Taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Agent will be deemed to have exercised ordinary care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Agent will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Agent in good faith, including, without limitation, by reason of the act or omission of the Term Lenders.

17.11. Agency for Perfection. Each Agent and each Lender hereby appoints each other Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and Liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and each Agent and each Lender

hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, collectively, as secured party. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. In addition, the Agent shall also have the power and authority hereunder to appoint such other sub-agents as may be necessary or required under applicable state law or otherwise to perform its duties and enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral and under the Loan Documents. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower hereby consents to the foregoing.

17.12. Actions With Respect To Collateral. The Agent shall not have any responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve the rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral or (iii) taking any action other than as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders required under this Agreement), subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

17.13. Filing of Proofs of Claim. In case of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 9.4 and 9.5 the Agent (regardless of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable and regardless of whether the Agent has made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) To (i) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and (ii) file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Lenders, the Agent under Sections 2.12, 11.3 and 19.9) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) To collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

Each Lender hereby authorizes any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, conservator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding: (i) to make such payments to the Agent; and (ii) if the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Agent under Sections 2.12, 11.3 and 19.9. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. Each Lender retains the right to file and prove a claim separately.

18.

GUARANTY.

18.1. Guarantors. Each Guarantor confirms that its guarantee of the Obligations hereunder is secured by the Collateral pledged by it pursuant to and in accordance with the Loan Documents delivered by it in connection herewith.

18.2. Guaranty: Limitation of Liability.

(a) Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Agent or any other Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations (and any other obligations under this Guaranty) and would be owed by any other Loan Party to the Agent or any Lender under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowed due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Lender under this Guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent allowed under applicable law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Agent or Lenders under or in respect of the Loan Documents.

18.3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses (other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment) it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following, to the maximum extent allowed under applicable law:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of the Agent or any Lender to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Agent or such Lender (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Agent or Lenders to disclose such information); provided, that each Guarantor shall have any contractual defenses that the applicable Loan Party has under any Loan Document including payment in full of the Obligations;

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver any Guaranty Supplement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Agent or any Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, that each Guarantor shall have any contractual defenses that the applicable Loan Party has under any Loan Document.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Lender or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

18.4. Waivers and Acknowledgments.

To the maximum extent allowed under applicable law:

(a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Agent or any Lender that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Agent and the other Lenders against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.

(e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Agent or any Lender to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Agent or such Lender.

(f) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 18.3 and this Section 18.4 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

18.5. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Agent or any Lender against Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Agent or any Lender of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and (iii) the Maturity Date has occurred, the Agent or Lenders will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents as may be reasonably requested by such Grantor, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.

18.6. Guaranty Supplements. If any Loan Party creates or acquires a wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company) on or after the Effective Date, such Loan Party shall cause such Domestic Subsidiary to be a Guarantor hereunder. Upon the execution and delivery to the Agent by any such Person of a guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), (a) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document

to a “Loan Party” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor if it is a Subsidiary of Borrower, and (b) each reference herein to “this Guaranty,” “hereunder,” “hereof or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the “Guaranty,” “thereunder,” “thereof,” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Subsidiary of a Loan Party that is a Foreign Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company (or a Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company) be required to join in the Guaranty or become a Guarantor hereunder. Borrower shall not form any Foreign Subsidiaries or Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company on or after the date hereof.

18.7. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 18.7:

(a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

(b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any Insolvency Proceeding relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Postpetition Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but subject to the notice provisions described in Section 10 each Guarantor shall, if the Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Agent and the Lenders and deliver such payments to the Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Postpetition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

(d) Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but subject to the notice provisions described in Section 10. the Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Postpetition Interest), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Postpetition Interest).

18.8. Continuing Guaranty, Assignments. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than unasserted contingent indemnification amounts) and the termination of all Commitments and the Loan Documents, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders).

19.

(a) The Lender Parties agree that material, non-public information regarding the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans delivered by Loan Parties to Lender Parties (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated by the Lender Parties in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by the Lender Parties to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to the Lender Parties and to employees, directors and officers of the Lender Parties (the Persons in this clause (i), “Lender Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis in connection with this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby on a confidential basis, (ii) to Subsidiaries, Affiliates and Lender Affiliates of the Lender Parties; provided, that any such Subsidiary, Affiliate or Lender Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 19.8 and keep such Confidential Information confidential, (iii) as may be required by regulatory authorities, (iv) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation; provided, that (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (iv), the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrower with prior notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior notice to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the applicable statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation and (y) any disclosure under this clause (iv) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (v) as may be agreed to in advance in writing by Borrower, (vi) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process; provided, that, (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (vi) the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrower with prior written notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior written notice to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the subpoena or other legal process and (y) any disclosure under this clause (vi) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such Governmental Authority pursuant to such subpoena or other legal process, (vii) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by the Lender Parties or Lender Representatives), (viii) in connection with any assignment, participation or pledge (or any prospective assignment, participation or pledge) of any Lender Party’s interest under this Agreement; provided, that prior to receipt of Confidential Information any such assignee, participant, or pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such Confidential Information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 19.8, (ix) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (x) to equity owners of each Loan Party, (xi) in connection with, and to the extent reasonably necessary for, the exercise of any secured creditor remedy under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, (xii) to the Term Lenders and their agents and representatives on a confidential basis and (xiii) to the New Senior Noteholders and their agents and representatives on a confidential basis.

(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent and the Lenders may use the name, logos, and other insignia of the Loan Parties and the total Credit Facility amount provided hereunder in any “tombstone” or comparable advertising, on its website or in other marketing materials of the Agent or the Lenders.

(c) The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that (i) the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Loan Parties hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Debtdomain, IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and

who may be engaged in investment and other market- related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. Each of the Loan Parties hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that: (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to each Loan Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Confidential Information, they shall be treated as set forth in clause (a) above); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information”; and (z) the Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information”.

(d) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Neither the Agent nor any Agent-Related Party warrants the accuracy or completeness of the communications through the Platform or the adequacy of the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in such communications. No warranty or representation of any kind, express, implied, or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects is made by the Agent or any Agent-Related Party in connection with such communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Agent or any Agent-Related Party have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender, or any other Person for damages of any kind, whether or not based on strict liability and whether or not direct or indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, losses, or expenses (whether in tort, contract, or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or Agent’s transmission of communications through the Internet, except to the extent the liability of any such Person is found in a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

19.9. Expenses. Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees to pay the Expenses on the earlier of (a) the tenth day of the month following the date on which such Expenses were first incurred (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), or (b) the date on which demand therefor is made by the Agent or a Lender on Borrower, and each other Loan Party agrees that its obligations contained in this Section 19.9 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations; provided, that the Loan Parties shall not be deemed in default for non-payment of such Expenses unless such expenses remain unpaid following demand therefor.

19.10. Setoff.

(a) Right of Setoff.

19.11. Release, Retention in Satisfaction, Etc.

(a) Collateral hereunder shall be released if and to the extent so provided hereunder or upon the transfer or sale of any asset or property theretofore included in Collateral to the extent permitted under Section 7.4 or otherwise permitted under this Agreement (in each case, other than transfers or sales to a Loan Party); provided, that the Agent shall have received a certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Agent from an Authorized Person of the Borrower requesting such release certifying that the release of such Collateral is permitted under this Agreement (the “Release Certificate”).

(b) Except as may be expressly applicable pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Code, no action taken or omission to act by the Agent or the Lenders hereunder or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to constitute a retention of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations or otherwise to be in full satisfaction of the Obligations, and the Obligations shall remain in full force and effect until the Agent and the Lenders shall have applied payments (including, without limitation, collections from Collateral) towards the Obligations in the full amount then outstanding.

(c) Upon such release or any release of Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents and provided, that the Agent shall have received the Release Certificate, the Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Loan Parties and promptly after the Agent’s receipt of such request, (i) assign, transfer and deliver to the Loan Parties, against receipt and without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Agent except as to the fact that the Agent has not encumbered the released assets except in accordance with the Loan Documents, such of the Collateral or any part thereof to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof or any other Loan Document, and (ii) execute documents and instruments prepared by the Loan Parties and acceptable to the Agent (including UCC-3 termination financing statements or releases) acknowledging the release of such Collateral.

19.12. Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this

Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Agent may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any of the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification amounts) is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the obligation of the Lenders to provide extensions of credit hereunder has not expired or been terminated. Section 11.3, Section 16.1(h), Section 17 and Section 19.9 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction, or discharge of the Obligations.

19.13. Patriot Act. The Agent and each Lender hereby notify the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow the Agent or the Lenders to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, if the Agent or any Lender is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties, and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks of the Loan Parties’ senior management and key principals, and Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall constitute Expenses hereunder and be for the account of Borrower.

19.16. [Intentionally Omitted].

19.17. Intercreditor Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that neither this Agreement nor any of the Loan Documents is intended to be and neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document is an “ABL Agreement” under the Intercreditor Agreement.

Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries have made adequate provision in accordance with GAAP for all material Taxes not yet due and payable. No Borrower knows of any proposed Tax assessment against a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is not being actively contested by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary diligently, in good faith, and by appropriate proceedings; provided such reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made or provided therefor.

No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable.

The hours worked and payments made to employees of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable legal requirements, except to the extent such violations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. All material payments due from any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on the Books of such Loan Party, except where the failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

RECITALS

A. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

B. The Borrower and the Guarantors have entered into the Credit Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Advances to the Borrower. Section 18.6 of the Credit Agreement provides that additional wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiaries (other than (x) an Excluded Subsidiary and (y) a Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company) of the Borrower shall become Guarantors under the Credit Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Domestic Subsidiaries (the “Additional Guarantors”) are executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement, or as directed by the Borrower in its sole discretion, to become a Guarantor under the Credit Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Advances (though this recital shall not constitute a commitment by the Lenders to make an Advance or provide other financial accommodations to Borrower) and as consideration for Advances previously made.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Agent and the Additional Guarantors, intending to be legally bound, agree to the above Recitals, and further agree as follows:

Section 1. In accordance with Section 18.6 of the Credit Agreement, each Additional Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Guarantor under the Credit Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and each Additional Guarantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement applicable to it as a Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof, provided that, to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Additional Guarantor does hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guaranty, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case, whether such Guaranteed Obligations are now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in connection with any Loan Document, and whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Each reference to a “Guarantor” and “Loan Party” in the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to include each Additional Guarantor as if originally named therein as a Guarantor or Loan Party, as applicable. The applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.

Section 2. Each Additional Guarantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such

Exhibit F

enforceability may be limited by under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law, assignments for the benefit of creditors, receiverships, formal or informal moratoria, compositions, extensions generally with creditors, or proceedings seeking reorganization, arrangement, or other similar relief and by general principles of equity.

Section 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Supplement shall become effective when the Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of each Additional Guarantor and the Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery by telecopier or by electronic .pdf copy of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Supplement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Supplement.

Section 4. [Reserved].

Section 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The terms of Section 13 of the Credit Agreement with respect to submission of jurisdiction, venue, consent to services of process and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

Section 6. If any provision of this Supplement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Supplement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be given as provided in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 8. Each Additional Guarantor agrees to reimburse or to cause reimbursement to the Agent and the Lender for Expenses in connection with this Supplement as provided in Section 19.9 of the Credit Agreement, and acknowledges that the rights, privileges and immunities of the Agent set forth in the Credit Agreement shall apply as though fully set forth herein.
