Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Lender or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.

Credit Agreement

In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

h.Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

i.Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to any Eurodollar Loans of Borrower then in effect with a one-month Interest Period; provided that, if Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Revolving Credit Lender to the extent of such payment.

j.Replacement of the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by joint written agreement among Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees with respect to Borrower accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

Credit Agreement

k.Cash Collateralization. If either (i) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders under the Revolving Facility (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (ii) Borrower shall be required to provide cover for LC Exposure pursuant to Sections 2.05(d), 2.10(b)(i) or 2.10(b)(ii), Borrower shall (immediately in the case of clause (i) above and Section 2.10(b)(ii) and, in the case of Sections 2.05(d) and 2.10(b)(i), within the applicable time limits provided therein) deposit into an account (the “LC Collateral Account”) with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to, in the case of an Event of Default, 100% of the LC Exposure with respect to Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and, in the case of cover pursuant to Sections 2.05(d), 2. 10 (b)(i) or 2. 10(b)(ii), the amount required under Sections 2.05(d), 2.10(b)(i) or 2.10(b)(ii); provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Borrower described in Section 7.01(g) or Section 7.01(h). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in the LC Collateral Account as collateral in the first instance for the LC Exposure with respect to Borrower under this Agreement and thereafter for the payment of the other Obligations of Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at Borrower’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed by Borrower, and to the extent Revolving Credit Lenders have funded participations therein, to such Revolving Credit Lenders, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid), including any accrued interest thereon, shall be returned to Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. Borrower shall, from time to time, concurrently with the deposit of the cash collateral, deliver to the Administrative Agent such documents and agreements as shall be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in order to perfect a first priority security interest in such cash collateral, duly executed by Borrower and in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders).

Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

a.Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Chicago time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for

Credit Agreement

such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to Borrower by promptly (and, if specifically requested by Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, then by 1:00 p.m., Chicago time) crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in Chicago and designated by Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender.

b.Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.07 Interest Elections.

a.Elections by Borrower for Borrowings. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section. Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

b.Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or other written electronic communication to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by Borrower.

Credit Agreement

c.Receipt of Notice. Upon receipt of an Interest Election Request in the proper form pursuant to clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall determine the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing(s). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of such interest rate shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower (by facsimile or other electronic delivery) an acknowledgment of receipt and confirmation of the Interest Election Request; provided, however, that the failure to provide such acknowledgment of receipt and confirmation of the Interest Election Request to Borrower shall not affect the validity of such interest rate and shall not release Borrower from its obligations to pay interest at such rate pursuant to the terms hereof.

d.Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

i.the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

ii.the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

iii.whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

iv.if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

e.Notice by the Administrative Agent to Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

f.Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing with a one-month Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing

Credit Agreement

by Borrower may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing of Borrower shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction and Extension of the Commitments.

a.Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

b.Voluntary Termination or Reduction. Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate amount of up to $50,000,000; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments (other than a reduction required by clause (ii) below) shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $50,000,000, (ii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Available Commitment and (iii) terminations and/or reductions may not be made more than one (1) time in any given calendar quarter.

c.Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Credit Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments delivered by Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by notice from Borrower to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

d.Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments.

e.Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.08(e), Borrower shall have two (2) options to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date for one (1) year periods each, subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

Credit Agreement

ii.No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the then scheduled Revolving Credit Maturity Date;

iii.The representations and warranties made by each of the Borrower Parties in the Loan Documents shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the then scheduled Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided, that to the extent such representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, the same shall continue on and as of the then scheduled Revolving Credit Maturity Date, to be true and correct in all material respects as of such specific date;

iv.Each Guarantor shall have reaffirmed and ratified all of its Obligations;

v.Within ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed extension, Borrower shall have delivered a Borrowing Base Certificate;

vi.At the time of the exercise of the extension hereunder, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) a non-refundable extension fee in an amount equal to 0.15% of the total Commitments in effect at such time; and

vii.Borrower shall have paid all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses by the Administrative Agent in connection with such extension.

Section 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

a.Repayment. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the Maturity Date.

b.Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings hereunder, Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or other written electronic communication) of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, as provided in Section 2.10(a). If Borrower fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, then except as otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 2.10(b)), such payment shall be applied, first, to ABR Borrowings consisting of Revolving Credit Loans of Borrower, second, to other Borrowings consisting of Revolving Credit Loans of Borrower in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first), third, to ABR Borrowings consisting of Term Loans of Borrower, and fourth, to other Borrowings consisting of Term Loans of Borrower in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or

Credit Agreement

any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

c.Maintenance of Loan Accounts by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

d.Maintenance of Loan Accounts by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

e.Effect of Entries. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of Borrower Parties to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

f.Promissory Notes.

i.Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 for Revolving Credit Loans and Exhibit A-2 for Term Loans. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.10 Prepayment of Loans.

a.Optional Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section; provided that Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or other written electronic communication) of any optional prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, two (2) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be revocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the Class and principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, in the case of any notice

Credit Agreement

of prepayment that is revoked, Borrower shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by Lenders, including any payments due pursuant to Section 2.15. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans of the applicable Class included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (A) accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 and (B) any payments due pursuant to Section 2.15, and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 2.09(b).

b.Mandatory Prepayments.

i.Available Commitment. If, on any day (a “Prepayment Trigger Date”), the Revolving Credit Exposure with respect to Borrower exceeds the Available Commitment, then Borrower shall (A) pay such excess to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in immediately available funds and/or (B) provide cover for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.05(k) in such amounts so that the Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed the Available Commitment, in either case promptly and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the applicable Prepayment Trigger Date. Each such prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Lenders, pro rata between each Class of Loans.

ii.Other Mandatory Prepayments. Borrower shall pay any of its applicable Loans (and provide cover for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.05(k)) upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the Maturity Date or (ii) upon an Acceleration of the Loans upon an Event of Default as provided in Article VII.

Each such mandatory prepayment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to each Class of Loans, and ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (A) accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 and (B) any payments due pursuant to Section 2.15, and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 2.09(b).

Section 2.11 Fees.

a.Unused Fee. On every Quarterly Date and the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, or the date which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, if such date is prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the earlier of the date such Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender an unused fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate shown in the definition of “Applicable Rate” on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender. All unused fees shall be computed on the basis of

Credit Agreement

a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

b.Letter of Credit Fees. Commencing after a Letter of Credit has been issued, on each Quarterly Date and the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, if such date is prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit issued for Borrower’s account, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Revolving Eurodollar Loans (plus 2% during the continuance of an Event of Default) on the average daily amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the calendar quarter in which such Quarterly Date, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Revolving Credit Commitment termination date, as applicable, falls, and (ii) unless JPMorgan is the only Lender, to the Issuing Lender a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between Borrower and the Issuing Lender on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) with respect to Borrower during the calendar quarter in which such Quarterly Date, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Revolving Credit Commitment termination date, as applicable, falls, as well as the Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder; provided, however, any unpaid participation fees and fronting fees with respect to any Letter of Credit that terminates prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Revolving Credit Commitment termination date shall be payable on such Letter of Credit’s termination date.

All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

c.Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Credit Agreement

Section 2.12 Interest.

a.ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

b.Eurodollar Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

c.Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon Acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

d.Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Maturity Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

e.Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period;

(b)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Facility Lenders under a particular Facility that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing under such Facility for such Interest Period; or

(c)the Administrative Agent is advised by a Lender that it has become unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans hereunder;

Credit Agreement

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective (in the case of clause (c) above, only as to the affected Lender), (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (in the case of clause (c) above, only as to the affected Lender); provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by Borrower for Eurodollar Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (iii) if in accordance with clause (c) above any Lender determines that it is no longer lawful for such Lender or its applicable lending office (subject to Section 2.18(a)) to maintain any existing Eurodollar Loans, or to continue to charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to continue Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and, in such event, all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall be converted to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans.

Section 2.14 Increased Costs.

f.Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

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

ii.impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

iii.subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost such to Recipient of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts

Credit Agreement

as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered with respect to Borrower’s Loans and Letters of Credit.

g.Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will promptly within fifteen (15) Business Days following written demand pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

h.Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof.

i.Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that neither Borrower nor any Guarantor shall be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(a) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the actually incurred, out-of-pocket, loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a

Credit Agreement

Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.16 (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Borrower Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Borrower Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower Parties. The Borrower Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),

Credit Agreement

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

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16 (f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

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

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be

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

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be

Credit Agreement

requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender, the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) On or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket, expenses (including Taxes imposed thereon) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund

Credit Agreement

to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(j) Issuing Lender. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term "Lender" includes any Issuing Lender.

Section 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

a.Payments by Borrower. Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 12:00 noon, Chicago time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set‑off or counterclaim; provided that if a new Loan is to be made by any Lender on a date Borrower is to repay any principal of an outstanding Loan of such Lender, such Lender shall apply the proceeds of such new Loan to the payment of the principal to be repaid and only an amount equal to the difference between the principal to be borrowed and the principal to be repaid shall be made available by such Lender to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.06 or paid by Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph, as the case may be. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document, and except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) shall be made in dollars.

b.Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied

Credit Agreement

(i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

c.Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of Loans of a particular Class shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of unused fees under Section 2.11 in respect of Commitments of a particular Class shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.08 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of Loans of a particular Class shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans by Borrower shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans by a Borrower shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

d.Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set‑off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of any Class or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower Party rights of set‑off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower Party in the amount of such participation.

Credit Agreement

e.Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

f.Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), Section 2.05(e) or (f), Section 2.06(b) or 2.17(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

Section 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

a.Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

b.Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender is unable to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(c), (ii) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, (iii) Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.18(a), or (iv) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then Borrower

Credit Agreement

may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.14 or 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), provided that if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all unfunded amounts in respect of such Defaulting Lender have been funded prior to such Defaulting Lender receiving payment under this paragraph (b), and (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Any Defaulting Lender being removed pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall, contemporaneously with such removal, pay to Administrative Agent an assignment fee of $10,000, in addition to any fee payable under Section 9.04.

Section 2.19 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of Loans and Letters of Credit solely for the repayment of Indebtedness, the acquisition of or investments in assets, working capital needs and other general business purposes (the “Approved Uses”).

Section 2.20 Affiliate Guaranty. As credit support for the Obligations, on or before the Effective Date, the Initial Guarantors shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the Affiliate Guaranty. After the Effective Date, upon the transfer of any Qualified Asset to, or the acquisition of any Qualified Asset by, any Borrower Party or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of a Borrower Party, or upon the addition of a Project as a Qualified Asset pursuant to Article X, unless such Qualified Asset has been removed as a Qualified Asset pursuant to Article X, such Person or the owner of such Qualified Asset, as applicable, (each, a “Supplemental Guarantor”) shall: (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders an Accession Agreement to become party to the Affiliate Guaranty, (ii) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agent legal opinions substantially in the form and substance delivered with respect to the Affiliate Guaranty on the Effective Date and such other documents reasonably required by the Administrative Agent confirming the authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability (subject to customary exceptions) of the Accession Agreement by such Supplemental Guarantor, and (iii) deliver copies of its Constituent Documents, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the functional equivalent of such Supplemental Guarantor (or if such Person is a limited partnership or limited liability company, an authorized representative of its general partner or manager) as of the date delivered as being accurate and complete. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.03, provided that (A) there is no outstanding monetary default, Event of Default or involuntary bankruptcy of any of the Borrower Parties and (B) the Borrower Parties are in compliance (both prior to and upon the applicable transfer or property

Credit Agreement

level financing referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below as the case may be) with the covenants set forth in Section 6.12, upon (1) the transfer of any Qualified Asset or (2) property level financing secured by a Qualified Asset that prohibits the giving or existence of the Affiliate Guaranty with respect to a particular Guarantor or with respect to which the financing would be more costly or otherwise adversely impacted by the giving or existence of the Affiliate Guaranty with respect to such Guarantor (and so long as the Administrative Agent has received at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice requesting such release), the Administrative Agent shall release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Affiliate Guaranty and such Guarantor shall have no further liability thereunder or in respect of the Obligations.

Section 2.21 Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

a.fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11;

b.the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

c.if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

i.all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

ii.if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

iii.if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such

Credit Agreement

Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

iv.if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

v.if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

Section 6.01 Indebtedness. It will not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Indebtedness, except:

Section 6.03 Fundamental Changes.

a.Mergers, Consolidations, Disposal of Assets, Etc. Except as permitted in Section 2.20, or 6.03(d) without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders in each such party’s sole and absolute discretion, it shall not enter into any merger or consolidation, unless it is the surviving entity, or liquidate, wind-up or dissolve (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution), terminate, discontinue its business or convey, lease, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, in one transaction or series of transactions, all or any substantial part of its business or property, whether now or hereafter acquired. To the extent otherwise permitted under Section 2.20, nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prohibit (i) the leasing of Assets in the ordinary course of business for occupancy by the tenants thereunder, (ii) the sale of Assets in the ordinary course of its business; (iii) the disposition for at least fair market value of any property the disposition of which is, in the Borrower’s good faith determination, necessary for the Borrower to maintain its qualification as a REIT or (iv) the contribution of any of its assets to a Person in consideration for an equity interest in such Person provided (A) such equity interest represents a fair value for the assets so contributed, and (B) notice of such contribution and the details thereof are given to Administrative Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such contribution.

b.Restriction on Amendments. Prior to amending (or causing or permitting to be amended), modifying or waiving any of the provisions of the Constituent Documents of any Borrower Party that the Borrower reasonably believes constitutes a Material Amendment, Borrower will deliver a written notice (the “Proposed Modification Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (which Proposed Modification Notice may be delivered by electronic mail) setting forth the specific details of the proposed amendment, modification and/or waiver (each, a “Proposed Modification”). Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion (that is, the determination of the other Lenders shall not be required) on Administrative Agent’s good faith belief, whether such Proposed Modification is a Material Amendment, and shall use reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of its determination within five (5) Business Days of the date on which it is deemed to have received the Proposed Modification Notice pursuant to Section 9.01. If Administrative Agent determines that the Proposed Modification is a Material Amendment, the approval of the Required Lenders and Administrative Agent will be required (unless the approval of all Lenders is required consistent with the terms of Section 9.02(b)), and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the Proposed Modification Notice, distributing, as appropriate, the Proposed Modification and any other relevant information provided by Borrower. If Administrative Agent shall request such approval of any Lender to such Proposed Modification, and not receive such approval or denial thereof in writing within ten (10) Business Days of the making of such request by Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such Lender shall be deemed to have given its approval to the request. If Administrative Agent determines that the Proposed Modification is not a Material Amendment, Borrower may make or permit to be made such amendment without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. The Borrower’s failure to obtain the approval of the Required Lenders and Administrative Agent (or the approval of all Lenders if required consistent with the terms of Section 9.02(b)) for any Material Amendment that is entered into shall constitute a breach of this Section 6.03(b). Regardless of whether any such modification requires approval hereunder, all executed modifications of Constituent Documents shall be promptly sent to the Administrative Agent after the execution thereof.

In the event of any such Reorganization, the Borrower may elect to cause (i) the OP to assume all of the Borrower’s liabilities and obligations under, and the Borrower may transfer and assign to the OP all of the Borrower’s rights and benefits under, the Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party, and in such event Borrower shall thereafter serve as a guarantor of the Facilities, or (ii) the OP to serve as a guarantor of the Facilities, it being acknowledged that in connection with a Reorganization, Borrower may elect that certain of its assets will be held by Borrower or Subsidiaries outside of the OP so long as the OP owns at least the Qualified Assets in the Unencumbered Asset Pool immediately prior to the date of the Reorganization.

i.the foregoing shall not apply to (A) restrictions and conditions imposed by law or by this Agreement and (B) customary restrictions and conditions contained in agreements relating to the sale of a Subsidiary pending such sale, provided such restrictions and conditions apply only to the Subsidiary that is to be sold and such sale is permitted hereunder; and

ii.clause (A) of the foregoing shall not apply to (A) restrictions or conditions imposed by any agreement relating to secured Indebtedness permitted by this Agreement if such restrictions or conditions apply only to the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, (B) customary provisions in leases and other contracts restricting the assignment thereof, and (C) Permitted Encumbrances.

Section 6.11 Change of Control. No Change of Control shall occur without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion.

Section 6.12 Certain Financial Covenants. The Borrower Parties shall comply with each of the following financial covenants (together with the covenant set forth in Section 6.01, the “Financial Covenants”); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) Railway Street Corporate Centre shall be excluded from the calculation of Financial Covenants and (ii) the investment value of NYC Retail Fund shall be included in the asset tests for the Financial Covenants, but so long as the total investment by Borrower in NYC Retail Fund is less than $100,000,000, liabilities of properties held under NYC Retail Fund shall be excluded from any calculation of the Financial Covenants.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Each Lender of a Facility hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Majority Facility Lenders under such Facility in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Majority Facility Lenders under such Facility of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders under such Facility. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative Agent”, “administrative agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan

Credit Agreement

Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Administrative Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or its affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower Parties or any Affiliate thereof (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) and such instructions by the Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable to any Lender for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Required Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), as applicable, or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower Party or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or

Credit Agreement

representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for Borrower Parties or any other Person), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by a Borrower Party, any Affiliate or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of any Borrower Party or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of any Borrower Party or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith or (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may reasonably execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more subagents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such subagent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such subagent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such subagent, and shall apply to their respective activities in

Credit Agreement

connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower Parties in writing. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with, and, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, with the consent of the Borrower Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (except for any liability to any Borrower Party first arising prior to such acceptance). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its subagents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys‑in‑fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower Parties or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of any Borrower Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower Parties or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof and any other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire, or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States

Credit Agreement

securities laws concerning any Borrower Party and its Affiliates) as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Person of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, Borrower Parties or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower Parties or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‑in‑fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.

Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower Parties and without limiting the obligation of Borrower Parties to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Applicable Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, further, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower Parties and without limiting the obligation of Borrower Parties to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the

Credit Agreement

Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If Borrower Parties shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

a.No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by a Borrower Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

b.Amendments. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and ministerial modifications of the Loan Documents (which shall only require the consent of the Administrative Agent and Borrower), neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived or Modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower Parties and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower Parties and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.09 or 2.17(b), (c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of the term “Required Lenders”, “Majority Facility Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive or Modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release Borrower from its liability with respect to the repayment of the Loans without the written consent of each Lender or

Credit Agreement

Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent in writing; provided that no such consent of Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

Any Lender may, without the consent of, the Borrower Parties, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant of which the Borrower has been given notice also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower Parties (such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (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 any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant

Credit Agreement

Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

f.Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

g.No Assignments to the Borrower Parties or Affiliates. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan or LC Exposure held by it hereunder to any Borrower Party or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender.

h.Arranger Assignments. The parties hereby agree that Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, in its capacity as an Arranger hereunder, may, without notice to Borrower, General Partner or any Loan Party, assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other registered broker-dealer wholly-owned by Bank of America Corporation to which all or substantially all of Bank of America Corporation’s or any of its subsidiaries’ investment banking, commercial lending services or related businesses may be transferred following the date of this Agreement.

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Borrower Party herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement (other than unaccrued contingent obligations) is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and, with respect to the parties thereto only, any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract

Credit Agreement

between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and Administrative Agent are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding accounts used solely for withholding taxes) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Administrative Agent to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Administrative Agent, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Administrative Agent shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and Administrative Agent under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender and Administrative Agent may have.

Section 9.12 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.13 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors that have a need for such information in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower Parties and their obligations, (g) with the written consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower Parties if the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender does not otherwise have actual knowledge that such information should be kept confidential. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Borrower Parties relating to Borrower Parties, their Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower Parties; provided that,

Credit Agreement

in the case of information received from Borrower Parties after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments.

Section 9.14 Additional Commitments.

At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable no more than four (4) times, to request that the Administrative Agent obtain additional Term Loan Commitments and/or Revolving Credit Commitments in excess of the Lenders’ then outstanding Term Loan Commitments and/or Revolving Credit Commitments in a minimum increment of at least Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000), or integral multiples of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in excess thereof (the requested amount being, the “Additional Commitment Amount”), subject to the following:

a.The aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Commitments shall not exceed Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000).

b.Any such request shall be made by the Borrower giving written notice (the “Additional Commitment Notice”) to the Administrative Agent prior to the Maturity Date, which notice shall set forth such details with respect thereto as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of the Additional Commitment Notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify the then existing Lenders of the terms of such Additional Commitment Notice and each Lender’s pro rata share of the proposed Additional Commitment Amount. If any Lender does not accept in writing within ten (10) Business Days the offer to increase its respective Commitment, which each Lender may do in its sole and absolute discretion, the Administrative Agent shall further offer the rejected shares to the Lenders that have accepted the proposed increase in their Commitments (each an “Accepting Lender”), pro rata based on the sum of their then existing Commitments plus any additional portion of the Additional Commitment Amount which they have previously accepted. If any Lender shall not accept in writing its pro rata share of the Additional Commitment Amount within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of an offer (including any offer for a portion of the Additional Commitment Amount rejected by another Lender), such Lender shall be deemed to have rejected such offer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of all acceptances and rejections with respect to the Additional Commitment Amount by the Lenders. If such acceptances are satisfactory to the Borrower, the Commitments of the Accepting Lenders shall be increased by their respective portions of the Additional Commitment Amount without the consent of any other Lender, subject, however, to (i) no Default being in existence at such time, (ii) the Borrower issuing substitute Notes to the Accepting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.09(f) if so requested by them, (iii) the Accepting Lenders paying to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of

Credit Agreement

the other Lenders) the aggregate amount determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary so that each Accepting Lender’s pro rata share of outstanding Loans and LC Exposure matches the ratio of its increased Commitment to the aggregate amount of all revised Commitments after giving effect to the Additional Commitment Amount, (iv) the Borrower certifying that the representations and warranties of the Borrower Parties set forth herein (as updated from time to time in accordance with this Agreement) and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the increase (except if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date), (v) the Borrower Parties, the Accepting Lenders and the Administrative Agent executing such other documents evidencing such adjustments in the Commitments and the Loans as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Accepting Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, (vi) the Borrower paying the Administrative Agent for the account of each Accepting Lender such upfront fees as shall be agreed to by the Borrower, (vii) the Borrower paying the Arranger such fees, if any, as shall be agreed to by the Borrower and the Arranger prior to the Administrative Agent commencing its efforts under this paragraph (b), (viii) the Borrower paying all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket, expenses in connection with the foregoing and (ix) if Borrower submits the Additional Commitment Notice to Administrative Agent after the date that is six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, then the Additional Commitment Amount may only be effected to the extent the Maturity Date can simultaneously be extended in accordance with, and pursuant to the provisions of, Section 2.08(e) hereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Lenders their share of any payments received from the Accepting Lenders in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

c.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Lenders do not accept increases in their aggregate Commitments in the full amount of the Additional Commitment Amount, the Borrower may designate one or more proposed lenders to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender to become Lenders under this Agreement with respect to such balance of the Additional Commitment Amount (but in no event with proposed commitments of less than $5,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent consents thereto which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), subject in each case to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as such proposed lenders are not Ineligible Institutions. If such proposed lenders are so approved, such lenders shall become additional Lenders under this Agreement in accordance with their respective Commitments without the consent of any other Lenders, subject, however, to (i) no Default being in existence at the time of increase, (ii) the Borrower issuing substitute Notes to the new Lenders in accordance with Section 2.09(f), (iii) such new Lenders paying to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the other Lenders) the aggregate amount determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary so that each new Lender’s pro rata share of outstanding Loans and LC Exposure matches the ratio of its Commitment to the aggregate amount of all Commitments after giving effect to the Additional Commitment Amount, (iv) the Borrower Parties, the new Lenders and the Administrative Agent executing such other documents evidencing their addition as Lenders hereunder and the adjustment of the Commitments, Loans and, for purposes of this Section 9.14, participations in LC Exposure, as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, and (v) the Borrower paying all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable, and documented, out-of-pocket expenses in connection

Credit Agreement

with the foregoing. The Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Lenders their share of any payments received from such new Lenders in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

d.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) to enter into Modifications of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent necessary to reflect the adjustment of the Commitments, Loans and, for purposes of this Section 9.14, participations in LC Exposure, the addition of new Lenders and the other matters contemplated by this Section 9.14.

Section 9.15 USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act") hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower Party, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower Party in accordance with the Act.

Section 9.16 Authorization to Distribute Certain Materials to Public-Siders.

a.None of the Borrower Parties currently has any publicly traded securities outstanding (including, but not limited to, 144A Securities, commercial paper notes or American Depositary Receipts); provided that each Borrower Party agrees that if any of the Borrower Parties issues any publicly traded securities at a future date, any of the information in the Loan Documents and the Financial Statements to be furnished pursuant to Section 5.01(a) and (c), to the extent then material, will be publicly disclosed or set forth in the related prospectus or other offering document for such issuance.

b.Each Borrower Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute the execution versions of the Loan Documents and Financial Statements to all Lenders, including their Public-Siders who indicate that they would not wish to receive information that would be deemed to be material non-public information within the meaning of the United States federal and state securities laws if the Parties had publicly-traded securities outstanding.

c.If any Borrower Party issues any 144A Securities during the term of this Agreement and its Financial Statements are not filed with the SEC, such Borrower Party (i) agrees to deliver to the Administrative Agent, and authorizes their posting by the Administrative Agent to the public-side view site of the Agency Site, the Financial Statements and Supplemental Materials and (ii) represents, warrants and agrees that the Financial Statements and Supplemental Materials will not constitute information that, upon disclosure to Public-Siders, would restrict them or their firms from purchasing or selling any of the 144A Securities under United States federal and state securities laws. Each Borrower Party further agrees to clearly label such Financial Statements and/or Supplemental Materials with a notice stating: “Confidential Financial Statements provided to 144A Holders” or “Confidential Supplemental Materials,” as the case may, before delivering them to the Administrative Agent.

d.Each Borrower Party acknowledges its understanding that Public-Siders and their firms may be trading in any of the Parties’ respective securities while in possession of the materials, documents and information distributed to them pursuant to the authorizations made herein.
