DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION CREDIT AGREEMENT

This DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION CREDIT AGREEMENT (including all exhibits and schedules hereto, as the same may be amended, supplemented, modified and/or restated from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 6, 2014, by and among GSE Environmental, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Borrower, GSE Environmental, LLC and SynTec LLC, as Subsidiary Guarantors, and GSE Holding, Inc., as Holdings, Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities, as Agent for the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually each a “Lender”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, on May 4, 2014 (the “Petition Date”), the Borrower and each Guarantor (as defined below) (collectively, and individually, the “Debtors”, a “Debtor”, the “Credit Parties” and a “Credit Party”) commenced Chapter 11 Cases Nos. 14-11126 through 14-11129(each a “Case” and collectively, the “Cases”) by filing voluntary petitions for reorganization under the Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders, from time to time after the Effective Date and prior to the Commitment Termination Date, make Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount of the Commitments, which on the date of this Agreement is $45,000,000;

WHEREAS, each Credit Party desires to guarantee the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents and, as security therefor, to grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid, binding, enforceable and perfected security interest in and lien upon substantially all of its Property;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE CREDITS

1.1 Amounts and Terms of Commitments.

(a) [Intentionally Omitted].

(b) The Loans and the Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, compliance by the Borrower with the Budget, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date through the Commitment Termination Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 1.1(b) under the heading “Loan Commitments” (such amount, as the same may be reduced or increased from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Loan Commitment”); provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans shall not exceed the Maximum Loan Balance. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, amounts borrowed under this subsection 1.1(b) may be repaid (without premium or penalty except as, and to the extent, set forth in Section 10.4), but once repaid, may not be reborrowed. The “Maximum Loan Balance” from time to time will equal the Aggregate Loan Commitment then in effect (or, if prior to entry of the Final Order, thirty-five million dollars ($35,000,000)) less the Interest Reserve (after giving effect to any reduction thereof to the extent a requested Loan shall be utilized to pay interest for which the Interest Reserve has been established) and less the Liquidity Reserve (as defined below). If at any time the then outstanding principal balance of Loans exceeds the Maximum Loan Balance, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay outstanding Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(d) [Intentionally Omitted].

1.2 Notes.

(a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, a Note payable to such Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Loan Commitment. In the event of a conflict between a Lender’s Note and the Register, the Register shall control.

1.3 Interest.

(a) Subject to subsections 1.3(c) and 1.3(d), each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin. Each determination of an interest rate by Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of demonstrable error. All computations of fees and interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to, but excluding, the last day thereof.

(b) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the Commitment Termination Date.

(c) Automatically while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the Loans until such Event of Default has been cured or waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding two percent (2.0%) per annum to rate otherwise in effect. All such interest shall be payable on demand of Agent or the Required Lenders. The Borrower shall notify the Agent and the Lenders within three (3) Business Days after a Responsible Officer becoming aware of an Event of Default and the requirement of paying interest at a rate as required under this Section 1.3(c).

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

1.4 Loan Accounts.

(a) Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall record on its books and records the amount of each Loan made, the interest rate applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. Agent shall deliver to the Borrower on a quarterly basis a loan statement setting forth such record for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. Such record shall, absent demonstrable error, be presumptive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. 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 of the Borrower hereunder (and under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any claim against Agent.

(b) Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this subsection 1.4(b), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 (or at such other address as Agent may notify the Borrower) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of Agent, each Lender in the Loans, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 9.9 and 9.22), (2) the Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, and for LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, (5) [intentionally omitted] and (6) any other payment received by Agent from the Borrower and its application to the Obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Loans) are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 1.4 and Section 9.9 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

(d) The Credit Parties, Agent, and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Borrower, Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for access by the Borrower, Agent, or such Lender during normal business hours and from time to time upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior notice. No Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender unless otherwise agreed by Agent.

1.5 Procedure for Borrowings.

(a) Each Borrowing of Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable (subject to Section 10.5) written notice delivered to Agent substantially in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, which notice (i) with respect to the initial Borrowing of Loans on the Effective Date or the Business Day after the Effective Date, must be received by Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the Effective Date for a Borrowing on such date or 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the Business Day after the Effective Date for a Borrowing on such date, and (ii) with respect to any other Borrowing, must be received by Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date which is three (3) Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify:

(i) the amount of the Borrowing (which shall be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of at least $1,000,000;

(ii) the requested Borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day; and

(iii) the Interest Period applicable to such Loans.

(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, Agent will promptly notify each Lender of such Notice of Borrowing and of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing.

(c) Unless Agent is otherwise directed in writing by the Borrower, the proceeds of each requested Borrowing after the Effective Date will be made available to the Borrower by Agent by wire transfer of such amount to the Borrower pursuant to the wire transfer instructions specified on the signature page hereto, as such wire transfer instructions may be updated from time to time by written notice from the Borrower to Agent.

1.6 Continuation Elections.

(a) Upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower shall have the option to continue all or any portion of any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan of the same Interest Period. Any such election must be made by the Borrower by 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to the end of such Interest Period. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan by such time, that LIBOR Rate Loan shall be continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan with the same Interest Period. The Borrower must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, including by Electronic Transmission. Such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.6.

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

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, after giving effect to any Borrowing, or to any continuation of any Loans, there shall not be more than five (5) different Interest Periods in effect at any one time.

1.7 Optional Prepayments of Loans and Commitment Reductions.

(a) The Borrower may at any time upon at least one (1) Business Day’s (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Agent) prior written notice by the Borrower to Agent, prepay the Loans in whole or in part, in each instance, without penalty or premium except as provided in Section 10.4, whereupon, the Loan Commitment of each Lender shall automatically and permanently be reduced by an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of the aggregate of principal repaid.

(b) The notice of any prepayment once received by the Agent shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower (unless the making of such prepayment is conditioned upon the occurrence of an event) and Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof and of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such prepayment. The payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.7, the Borrower shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4.

1.8 Mandatory Prepayments of Loans and Commitment Reductions. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders in full on the Commitment Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding, together with all interest, fees, charges and other amounts payable hereunder, whereupon, the Loan Commitment of each Lender shall automatically and permanently be reduced by an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of the aggregate of principal repaid. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.8, the Borrower shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4.

1.9 Fees.

(a) Upfront Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent on the Effective Date a fee (the “Upfront Fee”) for the account of each Lender in an amount equal to two percent (2.00%) of such Lender’s Loan Commitment. The Upfront Fee shall be fully earned and immediately due and payable upon entry of the Interim Order and non-refundable once paid.

(b) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to Agent a fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) for the account of each Lender in an amount equal to:

(i) the average daily balance of the Loan Commitment of such Lender during the preceding calendar month, less

(ii) the average daily balance of all Loans held by such Lender during the preceding calendar month,

(iii) multiplied by three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) per annum.

The total Unused Commitment Fee paid by the Borrower will be equal to the sum of all of the Unused Commitment Fees due to the Lenders, subject to subsection 1.11(e)(vi). Such fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last day of the each month ending after the Effective Date. The Unused Commitment Fee provided in this subsection 1.9(b) shall accrue at all times from and after the Closing Date. The Agent shall have no duty to verify the Borrower’s calculation of the Unused Commitment Fee.

(c) Fees of Counsel. On the Effective Date and promptly from time to time thereafter, the Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of (i) Wachtell, Lipton, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, counsel to certain Lenders, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Finger, P.A. as local Delaware counsel to certain Lenders, and (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP, as counsel the Agent, no later than (5) Business Days after an invoice for such fees and expenses is delivered to the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to pay any fees and expenses under clause (i) of the preceding sentence when due, the Lenders may elect to pay such fees on behalf of the Borrower and such fees paid shall thereafter constitute Loans made as of the date of such payment.

(d) Agent’s Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent on the Effective Date a fee (the “Agent Fee”) in accordance with that certain letter of even date herewith between the Borrower, the Credit Parties and the Agent (the “Agent Fee Letter”). The Agent Fee shall be fully earned and immediately due and payable upon the execution of the Agent Fee letter and non-refundable once paid.

1.10 Payments by the Borrower.

(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by each Credit Party on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts required hereunder shall be made without set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made to Agent (for the ratable account of the Persons entitled thereto) at the address for payment specified in the signature page hereof in relation to Agent (or such other address as Agent may from time to time specify in accordance with Section 9.2), including payments utilizing the ACH system, and shall be made in Dollars and by wire transfer or ACH transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder), no later than noon (Chicago time) on the date due. Any payment which is received by Agent later than noon (Chicago time) may in Agent’s discretion be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. The Borrower hereby authorizes Agent and each Lender (but each Party shall not be so obligated) to make a Loan (which shall be a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month) to pay (i) interest, principal, agent fees, Upfront Fees, and Unused Commitment Fees, in each instance, if not paid by the Borrower on the date due, or (ii) after five (5) days’ prior notice to the Borrower, other reasonable and documented fees, costs or expenses payable by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; provided, that nothing in this subsection 1.10(a) shall be deemed to limit or impair the Borrower’s rights to dispute the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s obligation to pay fees, costs or expenses pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, if any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default and if either Agent or the Required Lenders are exercising any of their remedies under the terms of this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents or any of the Obligations have been declared (or otherwise have become) due and payable as provided in Section 7.2, Agent shall apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of any Obligation in accordance with clause first, subpart (i) below, and, if directed by the Required Lenders, in respect of any Obligation in accordance with clauses first, subpart (ii) through sixth below. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, all payments made by the Credit Parties to Agent after any or all of the Obligations have been accelerated (so long as such acceleration has not been rescinded), including proceeds of Collateral, shall be applied as follows:

first, to payment of reasonable and documented costs and expenses, including Attorney Costs, of (i) Agent and then (ii) the Lenders payable or reimbursable by the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents;

second, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the Obligations and fees owed to Agent and the Lenders;

third, to payment of principal of the Obligations;

fourth, to payment of any other amounts owing constituting Obligations; and

fifth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to whoever may be lawfully entitled thereto.

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 Lenders or other Persons entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses second, third and fourth above.

1.11 Payments by the Lenders to Agent; Settlement.

(a) Each Lender will remit to Agent its Commitment Percentage of any Loan before Agent disburses same to the Borrower. Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested by the Borrower as soon as practicable but in no event later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the scheduled Business Day prior to the Borrowing date applicable thereto, and each such Lender shall pay Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Agent’s account, as set forth on Agent’s signature page hereto, no later than noon (Chicago time) on such scheduled Borrowing date. Nothing in this subsection 1.11(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the remaining provisions of Section 1.11, shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Agent any Lender or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(b) Upon each optional or mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 1.7 or 1.8 hereof, and prior to the payment by the Agent of principal, interest or fees hereunder (each, a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of principal, interest and fees paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (except as otherwise provided in subsection 1.1(c)(vi) and subsection 1.11(e)(iv)) of principal, interest and fees paid by the Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender (in accordance with such Lender’s standing wire instructions on file with Agent) not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date.

(c) Availability of Lender’s Commitment Percentage. Agent may assume that each Lender will make its Commitment Percentage of each Loan available to Agent on each Borrowing date. If such Commitment Percentage is not, in fact, paid to Agent by such Lender when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Commitment Percentage forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Nothing in this subsection 1.11(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. Without limiting the provisions of subsection 1.11(b), to the extent that Agent advances funds to the Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance from the date such advance was made until reimbursed by the applicable Lender.

(d) Return of Payments.

(i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from the Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be returned to any Credit Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to the Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, and Agent will be entitled to set-off against future distributions to such Lender any such amounts (with interest) that are not repaid on demand.

(e) Non-Funding Lenders.

(i) Responsibility. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Loan, to fund any purchase of any participation to be made or funded by it, or to make any payment required by it hereunder on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such loan, fund the purchase of any such participation, or make any other payment required hereunder on such date, and neither Agent nor, other than as expressly set forth herein, any other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a loan, fund the purchase of a participation or make any other payment required hereunder.

(ii) [Intentionally Omitted].

(iii) Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, including Section 9.1, 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 Loans and Commitments, included in the determination of “Required Lenders” or “Lenders directly affected” pursuant to Section 9.1) 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 Loans 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 Loans and Commitments held by Non-Funding Lenders shall be excluded from the total Loans and Commitments outstanding.

(iv) Borrower Payments to a Non-Funding Lender. Agent shall be authorized to use all portions of any payments received by 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. 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 of the Aggregate Loan Commitments until the Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent indemnification Obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) in cash and all Commitments have been terminated. Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. With respect to such Non-Funding Lender’s failure to fund Loans, any amounts applied by Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a Loan and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, Loans from the other Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Loans are held by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages of the Aggregate Loan Commitment. Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month. In the event that Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to clause (v) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, 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 (A) all unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including such Lender’s pro rata share of all Loans .

(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 fully pays to Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon. Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder.

(vi) Fees. A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the Unused Commitment Fee during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) thereof.

(f) Procedures. Agent is hereby authorized by each Credit Party and each other Secured Party to establish procedures and to amend such procedures from time to time, in each case in consultation with the Lenders, to facilitate administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 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 E-Systems.

None of the representations or warranties made by any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries in the Loan Documents as of the date such representations and warranties are made or deemed made, and none of the statements contained in each exhibit, report, statement or certificate (other than any statement which constitutes projections, forward looking statements, budgets, estimates or general market data) furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with the Loan Documents (including the offering and disclosure materials, if any, delivered by or on behalf of any Credit Party to Agent prior to the Effective Date, and, in such case, as supplemented prior to the Closing Date and excluding information of a general or industry specific nature), contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not materially misleading as of the time when made or delivered, it being acknowledged and agreed by Agent and the Lenders that, to the extent included in any of the foregoing, projections, budgets, forward looking statements or estimates as to future events are inherently uncertain and are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections, budgets, forward looking statements or estimates may materially differ from the projected results.

3.25 Foreign Assets Control Regulations and Anti-Money Laundering. Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary of each Credit Party is and will remain in compliance in all material respects with all U.S. economic sanctions laws, Executive Orders and implementing regulations as promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and all applicable anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act and all regulations issued pursuant to it.

Each notice under subsection 4.3(a) shall describe with particularity the condition causing such Default or Event of Default.

4.4 Preservation of Corporate Existence, Etc. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to:

(a) preserve and maintain in full force and effect its organizational existence and good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation, as applicable, except, with respect to the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, in connection with transactions permitted by Section 5.3;

(b) preserve and maintain in full force and effect all rights, privileges, qualifications, permits, licenses and franchises necessary in the normal conduct of its business except in connection with transactions permitted by Section 5.3 and sales of assets permitted by Section 5.2 and except as could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect;

(c) preserve or renew all of its registered Trademarks and all other Intellectual Property, the non-preservation of which in the reasonable business judgment of such Credit Party could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and

(d) conduct its business and affairs without infringement of or interference with any Intellectual Property of any other Person in any material respect and shall comply in all material respects with the terms of its IP Licenses.

4.5 Maintenance of Property. Except for Intellectual Property owned by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, each Credit Party shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, and preserve all its Property which is used or useful in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation (subject to the applicable Credit Party’s obligation to repair or restore the asset) excepted and shall make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 Insurance.

(a) Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect all policies of insurance of any kind with respect to the property and businesses of the Credit Parties and such Subsidiaries (including policies of life, fire, theft, product liability, public liability, Flood Insurance, property damage, other casualty, employee fidelity, workers’ compensation, business interruption and employee health and welfare insurance) with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations (in each case that are not Affiliates of the Borrower) of a nature and providing such coverage as is sufficient and as is customarily carried by businesses of the size and character of the business of the Credit Parties and (ii) cause all such insurance relating to any property or business of any Credit Party to name Agent as additional insured or loss payee, as appropriate. All policies of insurance on real and personal property of the Credit Parties will contain an endorsement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent, showing loss payable to Agent (Form CP 1218 or equivalent) and extra expense and business interruption endorsements. Unless otherwise agreed to by Agent (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), with respect to such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to Agent, the Credit Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause insurers to give Agent at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance shall be altered or canceled and that no act or default of the Credit Parties or any other Person shall affect the right of Agent to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in case of loss or damage. Each Credit Party shall direct all present and future insurers under its “All Risk” policies of property insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to Agent (and Agent agrees that, if no Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, it shall provide any necessary endorsement to any check or other instrument representing payment of insurance proceeds such that the Borrower may reinvest the proceeds thereof). If any insurance proceeds are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Credit Party and Agent jointly, Agent may endorse such Credit Party’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash (and Agent agrees that, if no Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, it shall provide any necessary endorsement to any check or other instrument representing payment of insurance proceeds such that Borrower may reinvest the proceeds thereof). Agent reserves the right at any time, upon review of each Credit Party’s risk profile and at the direction of the Required Lenders, to require additional forms and limits of insurance. Notwithstanding the requirement in subsection (i) above, Federal Flood Insurance shall not be required for (x) Real Estate not located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, or (y) Real Estate located in a Special Flood Hazard Area in a community that does not participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.

(b) Unless the Credit Parties provide Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Agent may (at the direction of the Required Lenders and upon receipt by the Agent of any amounts due from the Lenders in connection therewith), upon one (1) Business Day’s prior notice to the Borrower, purchase insurance at the Credit Parties’ expense to protect Agent’s and Lenders’ interests, including interests in the Credit Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ properties. This insurance may, but need not, protect the Credit Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ interests. The coverage that Agent purchases may not pay any claim that any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party makes or any claim that is made against such Credit Party or any Subsidiary in connection with said Property. The Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that there has been obtained insurance as required by this Agreement (and, to the extent the Borrower has complied with the provisions of this sentence and are entitled to cancel any such insurance obtained by Agent, Agent agrees, to the extent necessary, to promptly cancel such insurance at the written direction of the Borrower). If Agent purchases insurance, the Credit Parties will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges Agent may impose in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance shall be added to the Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance the Borrower may be able to obtain on its own.

4.7 Payment of Obligations. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay, discharge and perform as the same shall become due and payable or required to be performed:

(a) all material tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its Property, unless the same are immaterial or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by such Person;

(b) all material lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) upon its Property unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the imposition or enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by such Person; and

(c) payments to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of a Lien with respect to, or the involuntary termination of, any underfunded Benefit Plan.

4.8 Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all Requirements of Law of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or its business, except where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9 Inspection of Property and Books and Records; Annual Meetings.

(a) Each Credit Party shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, proper books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of such Person. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, with respect to each owned, leased, or controlled property, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice from Agent (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event no notice shall be required and Agent shall have access at any and all times during the continuance thereof) permit officers and designated representatives of Agent, at the Borrower’s expense, to visit and inspect, under guidance of officers of such Credit Party or such Subsidiary, any of the properties of such Credit Party or such Subsidiary, and to examine the books of account of such Credit Party or such Subsidiary and discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of such Credit Party or such Subsidiary with, and be advised as to the same by, its and their officers and independent accountants (provided that the Borrower shall have an opportunity to be present for any discussions with its independent accountants), all upon reasonable prior notice and at such reasonable times and intervals and to such reasonable extent as Agent may reasonably request; provided, the Borrower shall only be obligated to reimburse Agent for reasonable and documented expenses incurred by Agent in connection with one (1) such visit, inspection, examination and discussion by Agent in any Fiscal Year or more frequently if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any Lender may accompany Agent or its Related Persons (or if permitted by Agent, in lieu of the Agent or its Related Persons) in connection with any such visit, inspection, examination and discussion at such Lender’s expense.

(b) [Intentionally omitted].

(c) Whenever requested by the Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), upon one (1) Business Day’s notice, the Borrower and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Marsal shall hold a conference call with the Agent and the Lenders and their respective counsel to discuss current liquidity levels and the most recently delivered Variance Report.

4.10 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used on the date of the initial Borrowing (whether on the Effective Date or the Business Day following the Effective Date) to repay all amounts outstanding pursuant to the Priming Facility, and the proceeds of the Loans shall otherwise be used solely for (a) working capital (excluding capital expenditures) of the Credit Parties to the extent set forth in the Budget, subject to Permitted Variances, (b) capital expenditures to the extent set forth in the Budget and permitted by Section 6.1, and (c) for payment of (i) costs of administration of the Cases, to the extent set forth in the Budget, (ii) fees and expenses under Section 1.9 and (iii) such pre-petition obligations as the Court shall approve, in each case in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

4.11 Landlord Agreements. Each Credit Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a landlord agreement or bailee waivers, as applicable, from the lessor of each leased property or bailee in possession of any Collateral with respect to each location (if any) where any Collateral with a Fair Market Value of $1,000,000 or more is stored or located, which agreement(s) or waiver(s) (if any) shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Agent and the Required Lenders.

4.12 Further Assurances.

(a) Each Credit Party shall ensure that all written information, exhibits and reports furnished to Agent or the Lenders (excluding information of a general or industry specific nature) do not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact (provided, to the extent any such information, exhibits or reports contain projections, budgets, forward looking statements or estimates Agent and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that projections, budgets, forward looking statements or estimates as to future events are inherently uncertain and are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections, budgets, forward looking statements or estimates may materially differ from the projected results) and do not and will not omit to state any material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein taken as a whole not materially misleading in light of the circumstances in which made, and will promptly disclose to Agent and the Lenders and correct any defect or error that may be discovered therein or in any Loan Document or in the execution, acknowledgement or recordation thereof.

(b) Promptly upon written request by Agent, the Credit Parties shall (and, subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, shall cause each of their Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) to) take such additional actions and execute such documents as Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may reasonably require from time to time in order (i) to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) to subject to the Liens created by any of the Collateral Documents any of the Properties, rights or interests covered by any of the Collateral Documents (subject to any limitations in the Collateral Documents), (iii) to perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Collateral Documents (subject to any limitations in the Collateral Documents) and the Liens intended to be created thereby, and (iv) to better assure, convey, grant, assign, transfer, preserve, protect and confirm to the Secured Parties the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be granted to the Secured Parties under any Loan Document (subject to any limitations in the Loan Documents). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise approved in writing by the Required Lenders, the Credit Parties shall cause each of their Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) to guaranty the Obligations and to cause each such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary to grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth and in the Guarantee and Security Agreement, all of such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary’s Property to secure such guaranty (it being understood that no CFC shall be required to guaranty the Obligations or grant a security interest in its Property). Furthermore and except as otherwise approved in writing by the Required Lenders, each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) to, (x) pledge all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries of the type described in clause (v) of the definition thereof) and (y) (I) pledge sixty-five percent (65%) of the outstanding voting Stock and Stock Equivalents of each First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary that is a direct Subsidiary of a Credit Party and each Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (v) of the definition thereof and (II) one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding non-voting Stock and Stock Equivalents of each First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary and each Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (v) of the definition thereof, in each instance, to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure the Obligations. In connection with each pledge of Stock and Stock Equivalents, the Credit Parties shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, irrevocable proxies and stock powers and/or assignments, as applicable, duly executed in blank. In the event (i) any Credit Party acquires any Real Estate (other than (x) owned Real Estate with a Fair Market Value of less than $2,000,000 and (y) Real Estate that is a leasehold interest unless, in either case, a security interest in such Real Estate is granted or required to be granted pursuant to the Existing Indebtedness Documents) or (ii) any owned Real Estate of any Credit Party on the Closing Date which is not otherwise required to be subject to a Mortgage increases in value to have a Fair Market Value of $2,000,000 or more, then the Borrower shall give Agent prompt notice thereof and within ninety (90) days after such acquisition or other event (as such date may be extended by Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders), such Credit Party shall execute and/or deliver, or cause to be executed and/or delivered, to Agent, (v) if requested by Agent, an appraisal complying with FIRREA, (w) a fully executed Mortgage, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and the Borrower together with a Mortgage Policy issued by a title insurer reasonably satisfactory to Agent, in form and substance and in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Agent insuring that the Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first priority Lien on the respective property, free and clear of all defects, encumbrances and Liens (other than Permitted Liens related thereto), (x) then current A.L.T.A. surveys, certified to Agent by a licensed surveyor sufficient to allow the issuer of the lender’s title insurance policy to issue such policy without a survey exception, (y) to the extent that such Real Estate is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, Federal Flood Insurance as required by subsection 4.6(a), (z) if reasonably requested by Agent, a “Phase I” environmental site assessment prepared by a qualified firm reasonably acceptable to Agent and (aa) opinions of counsel for the Credit Parties in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent. In addition to the obligations set forth in subsections 4.6(a) and 4.12(b)(y), within forty-five (45) days after written notice from Agent to the Credit Parties that any Real Estate is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, the Credit Parties shall satisfy the Federal Flood Insurance requirements of subsection 4.6(a). Holdings and the Borrower hereby agree that, upon any Subsidiary of the Borrower ceasing to constitute an Excluded Subsidiary, Holdings and the Borrower shall take, or shall cause the other Credit Parties to take, all such actions that would otherwise have been required to be taken by, or with respect to, such Subsidiary pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.12. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any subsidiary of Holdings guarantees the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement, such subsidiary shall also guarantee the Obligations hereunder.

(b) Right Not to Follow Certain Instructions. Notwithstanding clause (a) above, Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action (i) unless, upon demand, Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders (or, to the extent applicable and acceptable to Agent, any other Person) against all Liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any Related Person thereof or (ii) that is, in the reasonable opinion of Agent or its counsel, contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirement of Law.

(v) shall not be required to take any action that it reasonably believes to be contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Document to which it is a party or to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers;

8.7 Lender Credit Decision.

(a) Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon Agent, any Lender or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including any offering and disclosure materials in connection with the syndication of the Loans) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by Agent to the Lenders, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party that may come in to the possession of Agent or any of its Related Persons.

(b) If any Lender has elected to abstain from receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates, such Lender acknowledges that, notwithstanding such election, Agent and/or the Credit Parties will, from time to time, make available syndicate-information (which may contain MNPI) as required by the terms of, or in the course of administering the Loans to the credit contact(s) identified for receipt of such information on the Lender’s administrative questionnaire who are able to receive and use all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) in accordance with such Lender’s compliance policies and contractual obligations and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws; provided, that if such contact is not so identified in such questionnaire, the relevant Lender hereby agrees to promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) provide such a contact to Agent and the Credit Parties upon request therefor by Agent or the Credit Parties. Notwithstanding such Lender’s election to abstain from receiving MNPI, such Lender acknowledges that if such Lender chooses to communicate with Agent, it assumes the risk of receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates.

8.8 Expenses; Indemnities.

(a) Each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party) promptly upon demand, severally and ratably, for any reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Credit Party) that may be incurred by Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document, in each case to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by the Credit Parties.

(b) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party), severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document, any Related Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.

(c) To the extent required by any applicable law, Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document an amount equal to the applicable withholding tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate certification form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), or Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender shall promptly indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by Agent, including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses. Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender under this subsection 8.8(c).

(d) The obligations set forth in this Section 8.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the discharge of the Loans and Notes and any resignation or removal of Agent hereunder.

8.9 Resignation of Agent.

(a) Agent may resign upon ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower by delivering written notice of such resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective. If Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent with the consent of the Borrower if required pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection 8.9(a). If, within 30 days after the retiring Agent having given notice of resignation, no successor Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(b) Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Agent until a successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly acting as Agent under the Loan Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 8.3, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Agent, a successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents.

(c) Any Person: (i) into which any Agent may be merged or consolidated or to which Agent transfers all or substantially all of its administrative agency business or (ii) that may result from any merger, conversion, transfer or consolidation to which Agent shall be a party, shall (if such Agent is not the surviving entity) be the successor of such Agent without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

8.10 Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:

(a) any Subsidiary of the Borrower from its guaranty of any Obligation if all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of such Subsidiary owned by any Credit Party are sold or transferred in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such transaction, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Obligations pursuant to Section 4.12; and

(b) any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by a Credit Party in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 4.12 after giving effect to such transaction have been granted, (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon either of subsection 5.1(h) or (i) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Credit Parties, upon (A) termination of the Loan Commitments, (B) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans and all other Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) under the Loan Documents, that Agent has theretofore been notified in writing by the holder of such Obligation are then due and payable, (C) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent Obligations in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to Agent and each Indemnitee that is, or may be, owed such Obligations (excluding unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) and (D) to the extent requested by Agent, receipt by Agent and the Secured Parties of liability releases from the Credit Parties each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent.

8.11 Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender party hereto as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to Agent) this Article VIII, Section 9.3, Section 9.9, Section 9.10, Section 9.11, Section 9.17, Section 9.24 and Section 10.1 and the decisions and actions of Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders or other parties hereto as required herein) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 8.8 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share or similar concept, (b) each of Agent and the Lenders party hereto shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (c) except as otherwise set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.

(d) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. ALL E-SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS SHALL BE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OF THEIR RELATED PERSONS WARRANTS THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY E-SYSTEMS OR ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS THEREIN. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OF THEIR RELATED PERSONS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY E-SYSTEMS OR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS.

9.4 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No course of dealing between any Credit Party, any Affiliate of any Credit Party, Agent or any Lender shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

9.6 Indemnity.

(a) Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Agent each Lender and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) the Transactions, any Loan Document, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Credit Party, (ii) any commitment letter, proposal letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with any of the foregoing and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any E-Systems or other Electronic Transmissions, (iii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of securities or creditors (and including attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that no Credit Party shall have any liability under this Section 9.6(i) to the extent arising from a dispute solely among Indemnitees other than claims against Agent or its respective Related Persons in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Agent and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (ii) to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability has resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its officers, directors or employees, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order or (y) a material breach of its material obligations under the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Furthermore, each of the Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Credit Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person of such Indemnitee to the extent that such Liabilities did not result from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any property of any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or natural resource or any property on or contiguous to any Real Estate of any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii)(A) are incurred solely following foreclosure by Agent or following Agent or any Lender having become the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party and (B) are attributable solely to acts of such Indemnitee.

9.7 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrower, from any other Credit Party, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

9.8 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that any assignment by any Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.9, and provided further that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

9.9 Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower, the other Credit Parties signatory hereto and Agent and when Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Holdings, the Borrower, the other Credit Parties hereto (in each case except for Article VIII), Agent and each Lender receiving the benefits of the Loan Documents and, to the extent provided in Section 8.11, 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 8.9), none of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Credit Party, or Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.

(b) Right to Assign. 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 its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans) to (I) any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender), (II) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non- Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender) or (III) any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to Agent; provided, however, that (v) no Sales may be made to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (w) such Sales must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to the Loans, (x) for each Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans and Commitments subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $2,500,000 in the case of a Sale of Loans and Loan Commitments, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior consent of the Borrower (to the extent the Borrower’s consent is otherwise required) and Agent, (y) interest accrued prior to and through the date of any such Sale may not be assigned, and (z) such Sales by Lenders who are Non-Funding Lenders due to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall be subject to 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 subsection 1.11(e)(v). Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale 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.

(c) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by Agent (or, if previously agreed with 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 reasonably acceptable to Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.1 and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to Agent, unless waived or reduced by Agent; provided that if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such Assignment is made in accordance with clause (iii) of subsection 9.9(b), upon Agent (and the Borrower, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment (if such Person’s consent is so required), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register as required under Section 1.4 the information contained in such Assignment.

(d) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection 1.4(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto 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 the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, 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 Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Indebtedness or equity securities, by notice to Agent; 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.

(f) Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Lender may (x) with notice to Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from Agent or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) 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 Loans and Letters of Credit); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Credit 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 (A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Article X, but, with respect to Section 10.1, only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to subsection 10.1(f) and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, (iii) the consent of such SPV or 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 for those described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of subsection 9.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in clause (vi) of subsection 9.1(a). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register meeting the requirements of section §5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations on which it enters in book entry form the name and address of each participant and SPV and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s and SPV’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or SPV or any information relating to a Participant’s or SPV’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under section5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by the IRS, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the IRS. 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 the Loan Documents notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No party hereto shall institute (and the Borrower and Holdings shall cause each other Credit Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations.

9.10 Non-Public Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Non-Public Information. Agent and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information (“MNPI”) hereunder concerning the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations).

(b) Confidential Information. Each Lender and Agent agrees to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document and designated by any Credit Party as confidential (and use only with respect to obligations under the Loan Documents), except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrower’s consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.10 or (B) available to such Lender or Agent or any of their Related Persons, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than any Credit Party) not known by them to be subject to disclosure restrictions, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority (and, in any such case, the Person disclosing such information shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Borrower prior to any disclosure, to the extent same would not be prohibited by applicable law or order), (v) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements (but limited to only such customary information as required for such league tables), (vi) (A) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or (B) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Credit Parties, (vii) to current or prospective assignees, SPVs (including the investors or prospective investors therein) or participants and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, investors, participants, counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 9.10 (and such Person may disclose information to their respective Related Persons in accordance with clause (ii) above), (viii) to any other party hereto, and (ix) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which such Lender or Agent or any of their Related Persons is a party or bound, or to the extent necessary to respond to public statements or disclosures by Credit Parties or their Related Persons referring to a Lender or Agent or any of their Related Persons.

(c) Tombstones. Each Credit Party consents to the publication by Agent or any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using Borrower’s or any other Credit Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark. Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft of any advertising material to Borrower for review and comment prior to the publication thereof.

(d) Press Release and Related Matters. No Credit Party shall, and no Credit Party shall permit any of its Affiliates to, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of securities of any Credit Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to Agent, any Lender or of any of their Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated therein without the prior consent of Agent and the Required Lenders except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with Agent or the Lenders.

(e) Distribution of Materials to Lenders. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents and all reports, notices, communications and other information or materials provided or delivered by, or on behalf of, the Credit Parties hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) may be disseminated by, or on behalf of, Agent, and made available, to the Lenders by posting such Borrower Materials on an E-System. The Credit Parties authorize Agent to download copies of their logos from its website and post copies thereof on an E-System.

(f) Material Non-Public Information. The Credit Parties hereby agree that if either they, any parent company or any Subsidiary of the Credit Parties has publicly traded equity or debt securities in the United States after the Closing Date, they shall (and shall cause such parent company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, to) (i) identify in writing, and (ii) to the extent reasonably practicable, clearly and conspicuously ▇▇▇▇ such Borrower Materials that contain only information that is publicly available or that is not material for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws as “PUBLIC”. The Credit Parties agree that by identifying such Borrower Materials as “PUBLIC” or publicly filing such Borrower Materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission, then Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws. The Credit Parties further represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that the following documents and materials shall be deemed to be PUBLIC, whether or not so marked, and do not contain any MNPI: (A) the Loan Documents, including the schedules and exhibits attached thereto, and (B) administrative materials of a customary nature prepared by the Credit Parties or Agent (including, Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Continuation, and any similar requests or notices posted on or through an E-System). Before distribution of any Borrower Materials, the Credit Parties agree to execute and deliver to Agent a letter authorizing distribution of the evaluation materials to prospective Lenders and their employees willing to receive MNPI, and a separate letter authorizing distribution of evaluation materials that do not contain MNPI and represent that no MNPI is contained therein.

9.11 Set-off; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Right of Setoff. Each of Agent, each Lender, and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding trust accounts, withholding accounts, fiduciary accounts and payroll accounts so long as, with respect to payroll accounts, the amount on deposit therein is not in excess of amounts necessary for purposes of funding current payroll liabilities and amounts necessary to meet minimum balance requirements applicable to such account) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by Agent, such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party against any Obligation of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing which is not paid when due. No Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff without the prior consent of Agent or the Required Lenders. Each of Agent, each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 9.11 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Agent, the Lenders, their Affiliates and the other Secured Parties may have.

(b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Credit Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Section 9.9 or Article X and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation. If a Non-Funding Lender receives any such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall turn over such payments to Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral requirements set forth in subsection 1.11(e).

9.20 Entire Agreement; Release; Survival.

9.22 Replacement of Lender. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after: (i) receipt by the Borrower of written notice and demand from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional costs as provided in Sections 10.1, 10.3 and/or 10.6; or (ii) any failure by any Lender (other than Agent or an Affiliate of Agent) to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which the 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, the Borrower may, at its option, notify Agent and such Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender) of the Borrower’s intention to obtain, at the Borrower’s expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender), which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent and shall be subject to any other consents that may be required in connection with a Sale pursuant to subsection 9.9(b)(A) (it being understood that no Person shall be eligible as a Replacement Lender pursuant to this Section 9.22 unless such Person also was eligible to be an assignee Lender under subsection 9.9(b)). In the event the Borrower obtains a Replacement Lender within one hundred eighty (180) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender) shall sell and assign its Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender, at par, provided that the Borrower has reimbursed such Affected Lender for its increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment pursuant to Section 9.9 within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 9.22 and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 9.22, the 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 the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 9.22 and Section 9.9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain a Replacement Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender or 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 Loans 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 9.9, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.

9.23 Joint and Several. The obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are joint and several. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reference is hereby made to Article II of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, to which the obligations of Borrower and the other Credit Parties are subject.

9.24 Creditor-Debtor Relationship. The relationship between Agent and each Lender on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Credit Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

ARTICLE X

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

10.1 Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.1, each payment by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, but excluding Excluded Taxes, the “Taxes”).

(b) If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Secured Party (i) such amount shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 10.1), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Credit Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Credit Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant Credit Party shall deliver to Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(c) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other Taxes”). Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Credit Party, the Borrower shall furnish to Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt or other evidence of payment thereof.

(d) The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to Agent), each Secured Party for all Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 10.1) paid by such Secured Party that relate to the payment by or on behalf of the Borrower under a Loan Document and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Secured Party pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) for any amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date such Secured Party notifies the Borrower of such Secured Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six (6) month period shall be extended by such period of retroactive effect. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower with copy to Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) 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.

(f) Each Non-U.S. Lender Party that, at any of the following times, is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or, after a change in any Requirement of Law, is subject to such withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f) and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) and/or W-8IMY (along with any underlying forms) or any successor forms, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (C) any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments of interest to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Loan Documents. Unless the Borrower and Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Credit Parties and Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of either (i) a change in any Requirement of Law or (ii) a change in circumstances with respect to a Credit Party, a non-U.S. Lender Party is unable to supply the forms or other documents required by this paragraph such Non-U.S. Lender Party shall notify the Borrower and Agent of its inability and be treated as having complied with all of the requirements of this paragraph.

(i) Each U.S. Lender Party shall provide Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a U.S. Lender Party need not provide such forms if such U.S. Lender Party is an exempt recipient under the United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii).

(ii) If a payment made to a Non-U.S. Lender Party would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Non-U.S. Lender Party fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Non-U.S. Lender Party shall deliver to Agent and Borrower documentation, at the time or times prescribed by law, prescribed by the IRS to demonstrate that such Non-U.S. Lender has complied with applicable reporting requirements of FATCA so that payments made to such Non-U.S. Lender hereunder would not be subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes under FATCA, or if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(g) If a Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund, whether in the form of a payment, credit or offset (but only to the extent such credit or offset is actually utilized), of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.1, it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 10.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Secured Party and without interest (other than any interest paid, credited or allowed as an offset, by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, which interest shall be paid to the Borrower); provided, that (i) a Secured Party may determine in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Secured Party, whether to file a claim for a refund, (ii) no Secured Party shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 10.1(g) at any time which a Default or Event of Default exists and (iii) the Borrower, upon the request of such Secured Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Secured Party in the event the Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing in this subsection 10.1(g) shall be construed to require any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

10.2 Illegality. If after the date hereof any Lender shall determine that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through Agent, the obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall have notified Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists.

(a) Subject to clause (c) below, if any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall prepay in full all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 10.4.

(b) [Intentionally omitted].

(c) Before giving any notice to Agent pursuant to this Section 10.2, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.

10.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a) If any Lender shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) subsequent to the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans (other than any Excluded Taxes or any Taxes that are otherwise provided for in Section 10.1), then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, within thirty (30) days of demand therefor by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent), pay to Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this subsection 10.3(a) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower, in writing of the increased costs and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that:

(i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

(ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

(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; or

(iv) compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or any entity controlling the Lender, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

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 and such Lender’s desired return on capital) 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 demand of such Lender (with a copy to Agent), the 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 the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this subsection 10.3(b) for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the 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.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) 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 regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law under subsection (a) above and/or a change in a Capital Adequacy Regulation under subsection (b) above, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

10.4 Funding Losses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense (other than any anticipated lost profits) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of the Borrower to make any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof);

(b) the failure of the Borrower to borrow or continue a Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation;

(c) the failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with Section 1.7; or

(d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 1.8) of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto;

including any such loss or expense (other than any anticipated lost profits) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, with respect to the expenses described in clauses (d) and (e) above, such Lender shall have notified Agent of any such expense within two (2) Business Days of the date on which such expense was incurred; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 10.4 for any amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 10.4 and under subsection 10.3(a): each LIBOR Rate Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR used in determining the interest rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan is in fact so funded.

10.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If Agent shall have determined in good faith that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or that the LIBOR applicable pursuant to subsection 1.3(a) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining such LIBOR Rate Loan, Agent will forthwith give notice of such determination to the Borrower and each Lender.
