FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
THIS FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of May 1, 2015 and as amended as of April 29, 2025 (this “Agreement”) is entered into among PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC. (the “Company”), the financial institutions that are or may from time to time become parties hereto (together with their respective successors and assigns, the “Lenders”) and MERCEDES-BENZ FINANCIAL SERVICES USA LLC (in its individual capacity, “MBFS”), as agent for the Lenders.
WHEREAS, the Company, the Lenders and the Agent are parties to a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2014 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Company and the Lenders desire to amend and restate the Existing Agreement; it being the intention of the Company, the Agent and the Lenders that this Agreement and the execution and delivery of any substituted promissory notes not effect a novation of the obligations of the Company and the Lenders under the Existing Agreement but merely a restatement and, where applicable, substitution of the terms governing and evidencing such obligations hereafter; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Lenders have agreed that on the Effective Date (as defined below) the Existing Agreement shall be amended and restated and the outstanding loans under the Existing Agreement shall be deemed to be Loans hereunder.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1 DEFINITIONS.
1.1 Definitions. When used herein the following terms shall have the following meanings:
Account Receivable means, with respect to any Person, any right of such Person to payment for goods sold or leased or for services rendered, whether or not evidenced by an instrument or chattel paper and whether or not yet earned by performance.
Acquisition means an acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary of all or substantially all the assets of a business unit or a controlling interest in the Capital Stock or other ownership interests of an Automotive Investment, whether through a purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise.
Acquisition Capital Expenditure means any Capital Expenditure that is comprised of the purchase price paid to the seller in connection with any Acquisition permitted under this Agreement.

Acquisition Cost means, as of any date, (x) with respect to any New Motor Vehicle, the wholesale purchase price charged by the Manufacturer thereof as reflected in the invoice in respect of such New Motor Vehicle issued by such Manufacturer to the Company, the applicable Subsidiary or any other licensed dealer from which such New Motor Vehicle was purchased by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary less any related deductions set forth on such invoice, and (y) with respect to any Used Motor Vehicle or Auction Motor Vehicle, the price paid by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary to purchase such Used Motor Vehicle or Auction Motor Vehicle, provided that, in the case of this clause (y), in the event the Agent reasonably concludes that the Acquisition Cost of a Used Motor Vehicle or Auction Motor Vehicle exceeds its fair market value, the Agent may make market value adjustments to the Acquisition Cost of a Used Motor Vehicle or Auction Motor Vehicle based upon the latest publication of the N.A.D.A. Official Used Car Guide, as long as such publication has been released within the past three months and, if not, such other objective criteria as the Company and the Required Lenders may agree from time to time.
Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR means, for purposes of any calculation, the rate per annum equal to (a) Daily Simple SOFR for such calculation plus (b) the SOFR Adjustment; provided that if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR as so determined shall ever be less than the Floor, then Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR shall be deemed to be the Floor.
Adjusted Term SOFR means, for purposes of any calculation, the rate per annum equal to (a) Term SOFR for such calculation plus (b) the SOFR Adjustment; provided that if Adjusted Term SOFR as so determined shall ever be less than the Floor, then Adjusted Term SOFR shall be deemed to be the Floor.
Adjusted Term SOFR Rate - see definition of “Interest Rate.”
Affiliate of any Person means (i) any other Person that, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with such Person and (ii) any officer or director of such Person. A Person shall be deemed to be “controlled by” any other Person if such Person possesses, directly or indirectly, power to vote 10% or more of the securities (on a fully diluted basis) having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or managers or power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person whether by contract or otherwise.
Agent means MBFS in its capacity as agent for the Lenders hereunder and any successor thereto in such capacity.
Agreement - see the Preamble.
Anti-Terrorism Law – see Section 8.23.
Applicable Margin means, as of any date of determination, the applicable rate per annum set forth in the following table that corresponds to the Leverage Ratio calculation as set forth in the most recent compliance certificate delivered to the Agent in accordance with Section 9.1.3. For the period from the Twelfth Amendment Effective Date through the date that the Agent
- 2 -

receives such compliance certificate for the Computation Period ending June 30, 2025, the Applicable Margin will be the rate per annum in the row styled “Level I”:

Level | Leverage Ratio | Applicable Margin
I | < 2.50 to 1.00 | 1.500%
II | < 3.50 to 1.00 and ≥ 2.50 to 1.00 | 1.625%
III | < 4.00 to 1.00 and ≥ 3.50 to 1.00 | 1.750%
IV | < 4.50 to 1.00 and ≥ 4.00 to 1.00 | 1.875%
V | ≥ 4.50 to 1.00 | 2.000%

Except as otherwise set forth in this definition, the Applicable Margin will be based upon the most recent compliance certificate delivered to the Agent in accordance with Section 9.1.3. Except as otherwise set forth in this definition, the Applicable Margin will be re-determined quarterly on the first day of the month immediately following the date of delivery to the Agent of the applicable compliance certificate pursuant to Section 9.1.3. If the Company fails to furnish any compliance certificate within 3 days of when that compliance certificate is due under Section 9.1.3, then the Applicable Margin will be the rate per annum in the row styled “Level V” from and after the day immediately following the date on which such compliance certificate was required to be delivered until the date on which such compliance certificate is delivered in accordance with Section 9.1.3, on which date (but not retroactively), without constituting a waiver of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default occasioned by the failure to timely deliver such compliance certificate, the Applicable Margin will be set at the rate per annum based upon the calculations disclosed by such compliance certificate.
If any information contained in any compliance certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.1.3 is shown to be inaccurate, and that inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period than the Applicable Margin actually applied for that period, then (i) the Company shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Agent and each Lender a corrected compliance certificate (in the form otherwise required under Section 9.1.3) for that period; (ii) the Applicable Margin will be determined as if the correct Applicable Margin (as set forth in the table above) were applicable for that period (irrespective of whether a corrected compliance certificate is delivered); and (iii) the Company shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after delivery of such corrected compliance certificate or after demand by the Agent) deliver to the Agent full payment in respect of the accrued additional interest as a result of the increased Applicable Margin for that period, which payment the Agent shall promptly apply to the affected obligations of the Company hereunder.

Automotive Investment means a business that operates a dealership or dealerships for the retail sales of new and/or used vehicles, a vehicle distributorship and/or other transportation related businesses or other businesses ancillary to the operation of such businesses.
Available Tenor means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date.
Benchmark means, initially, the Term SOFR Reference Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 4.5(a).
Benchmark Replacement means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:
(a) Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; or
(b) the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Agent and the Company giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or
- 4 -

negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Agent and the Company giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.
Benchmark Replacement Date means a date and time determined by the Agent, which date shall be no later than the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(a) in the case of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.
For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
Benchmark Transition Event means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(a) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
(b) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New
- 5 -

York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(c) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.
For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
Benchmark Unavailability Period means, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 4.5 and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 4.5.

- 6 -

business; (c) an amount equal to 65% of the Accounts Receivable of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries consisting of finance reserve owing to the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries from financial institutions, not Restricted Affiliates, that provide loans or other financing to customers of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries in connection with the purchase and/or lease of Motor Vehicles by such customers, which finance reserve is in the nature of amounts payable to the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries; (d) an amount equal to 65% of the book value of the Inventory of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries that consists of parts and accessories; (e) an amount equal to 80% of the difference between (i) the Acquisition Cost of that portion of the Inventory of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries that constitutes Used Motor Vehicles and/or Auction Motor Vehicles (without duplication) and (ii) the aggregate amount of any Floor Plan Financing of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries incurred in connection with such Used Motor Vehicles and Auction Motor Vehicles; (f) an amount equal to 45% of the difference between (i) the book value of the Equipment of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries and (ii) the aggregate amount of purchase money Debt of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries incurred to finance the purchase price of such Equipment; (g) an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 75% of the Eligible Real Estate Collateral Value and (ii) 25% of the sum of clauses (a) through (f) above; and (h) an amount equal to 50% of the Eligible Tangible Net Worth of PTL. For purposes of greater clarity, service loaners and daily rental vehicles shall not constitute Inventory for the purpose of calculating the Borrowing Base, but shall constitute Equipment for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) all assets (including daily rental vehicles, goodwill, franchise value and cash on deposit in deposit accounts) of MB Greenwich shall be excluded from the Borrowing Base for all purposes, (ii) all Motor Vehicles that are being leased by the Company or any Subsidiary as lessor shall be excluded from the Borrowing Base for all purposes and (iii) all retail installment contracts and retail leases of Motor Vehicles that have been pledged to secure any Pledge Line Financing shall be excluded from the Borrowing Base for all purposes.

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.6(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Non-Use Fee pursuant to Section 5.1 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company and the Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments hereunder, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustment will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

If the Issuing Lender makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit and the Company has not reimbursed the Issuing Lender in full for such payment or disbursement by 10:00 A.M., Detroit time, on the date of such payment or disbursement, or if any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender from the Company is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, each other Lender shall be obligated to pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, in full or partial payment of the purchase price of its participation in such Letter of Credit, its Pro Rata Share of such payment or disbursement (but no such payment shall diminish the obligations of the Company under Section 2.7.3), and, upon notice from the Issuing Lender, the Agent shall promptly notify each other Lender thereof. Each other Lender irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to so pay to the Agent in immediately available funds for the Issuing Lender’s account the amount of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment or disbursement. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Agent by 2:00 P.M., Detroit time, on the Business Day on which such Lender receives notice from the Agent of such payment or disbursement (it being understood that any such notice received after noon, Detroit time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day), (a) the Agent shall be entitled to retain (for the benefit of the Issuing Lender) all interest payments paid by the Company allocable to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the unpaid reimbursement obligations for the period from the time such Lender was required to make such amount available to the Agent until such Lender actually makes such amount available or such amount is indefeasibly paid to the Agent by the Company and (b) such Lender agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender forthwith upon demand the greater of (x) all reasonable and actual costs incurred by the Issuing Lender as a result of such failure and (y) interest on such amount for the Issuing Lender’s account, for each day from the date such amount was to have been delivered to the Agent to the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. Any Lender’s failure to make available to the Agent its Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement.

3.2 Recordkeeping. Each Lender shall record in its records, or at its option on the schedule attached to its Note, the date and amount of each Loan made by such Lender and each repayment thereof. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Note. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans evidenced by such Note together with all interest accruing thereon.

(a)Subject to Section 4.5, if, on or prior to the date any Interest Rate for any Loan is determined:

(ii)the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a borrowing that Adjusted Term SOFR with respect to a proposed borrowing does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent, the Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender.
(b)Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Company, any obligation of the Lenders to fund borrowings shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected borrowings) until the Agent (with respect to clause (a), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon

In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (iii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.

All reductions of the Revolving Commitment Amount shall reduce the Revolving Commitments pro rata among the Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(b)[Reserved].
(c)The Company may not reduce the Revolving Commitment Amount unless it pays the fees required pursuant to this Section 6.1(c). The Company may reduce the Revolving Commitment Amount upon at least ten Business Days’ notice to the Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) and payment of the early termination fee set forth below. If the Revolving Commitment Amount is reduced pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Company shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, an early termination fee upon each such reduction equal to 0.25% of the amount of such reduction.
6.2 Voluntary Prepayments. (a) Except for Same Day Prepayments under Section 6.2(b), the Company may, upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Agent, from time to time prepay the Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
- 36 -

(b)In addition to voluntary prepayments under Section 6.2(a), the Company may make a Same Day Prepayment of the Total Outstandings on any Business Day that the Company has not requested (and will not request) a Same Day Loan. In order to make a Same Day Prepayment, the Company must give written or electronic notice or telephonic notice (followed immediately by written or electronic confirmation thereof) to the Agent of the Same Day Prepayment not later than 11:00 A.M., Detroit time, on the Business Day that the Company desires to make such Same Day Prepayment. Each such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Agent, shall be irrevocable, shall specify the amount of the proposed Same Day Prepayment, which amount may not exceed Thirty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($30,000,000.00) for any particular Business Day and shall specify whether such proposed Same Day Prepayment is to be applied to the Revolving Loans. By 11:30 A.M., Detroit time, on the Business Day that the Agent receives a notice of a proposed Same Day Prepayment, the Agent shall advise each Lender thereof. Each Same Day Prepayment must be paid to the Agent by a federal wire transfer to the Agent’s designated bank account, which federal wire transfer must be initiated by the Company on or before 4:00 P.M., Detroit time, on the Business Day that the Agent receives the notice of such Same Day Prepayment. Each Same Day Prepayment for which the above requirements are satisfied shall be treated as being made by the Company (and shall reduce the Revolving Outstandings) on the Business Day that the Company initiates the federal wire transfer, even if the Agent cannot confirm the receipt of such funds until the next Business Day. If the federal wire transfer for any Same Day Prepayment is not initiated by the Company on or before 4:00 P.M., Detroit time, on the Business Day that the Agent received the notice of such Same Day Prepayment, such Same Day Prepayment shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the following Business Day, unless the Agent can actually confirm (on such following Business Day) that such wire transfer was actually received into the Agent’s designated bank account on the Business Day that the Agent received the notice of such Same Day Prepayment. Each Same Day Prepayment must be made on a Business Day. The Company may not make a Same Day Prepayment on any Business Day that the Company has requested a Same Day Loan. The Company may make a Same Day Prepayment on the same Business Day that it has previously requested a borrowing under Section 2.2(a) and/or on the same Business Day for which the Company has notified the Agent of a voluntary prepayment under Section 6.2(a) and such Same Day Prepayment shall be made in addition to, separately from and without any netting for such other borrowing and/or voluntary prepayment. All Same Day Prepayments may be made without premium or penalty.
6.3 Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time (A) the Total Outstandings exceed (B) the sum of (i) the Borrowing Base in effect at such time plus (ii) 35% of the Domestic Blue Sky Value at such time, the Company shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, or do a combination of the foregoing, in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. To the extent Cash Collateral is provided for any Letter of Credit as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the Agent agrees, upon request of the Company, to release such Cash Collateral if at any time when no Event of Default exists clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence does not exceed clause (B) of such sentence.

The Agent shall remit to each Lender its share of all such payments (other than Same Day Prepayments) received in collected funds by the Agent for the account of such Lender as follows: (i) on the Business Day deemed received, in the case of payments specified by the Company as principal payments; and (ii) on the following Business Day after the Business Day deemed received, in the case of other amounts. All Same Day Prepayments shall be made to (and shall be deemed to have been received by) the Agent as set forth in Section 6.2(b) and shall, subject to the terms of Section 12.11(c), be remitted by the Agent to each Lender by a federal wire transfer to such Lender’s designated bank account, which federal wire transfer must be initiated by the Agent on or before 4:00 P.M., Detroit time, on the Business Day that the Agent receives the notice of such Same Day Prepayment. Each Same Day Prepayment for which the above requirements are satisfied shall be treated as being remitted by the Agent to the Lenders on the Business Day that the Agent initiates the federal wire transfer, even if the Lenders cannot confirm the receipt of such funds until the next Business Day.
7.2 Application of Certain Payments. Each payment of principal shall be applied to such Loans as the Company shall direct by notice to be received by the Agent on or before the date of such payment. Concurrently with each remittance to any Lender of its share of any such payment, the Agent shall advise such Lender as to the application of such payment.
7.3 Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day and, in the case of principal, additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.
7.4 Setoff. The Company agrees that the Agent and each Lender have all rights of setoff provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, the Company agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, the Agent and each Lender may apply to the payment of any obligations of the Company hereunder, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Company then or thereafter with the Agent or such Lender. The Agent or the Lender exercising the setoff shall promptly notify the Company thereof after making such exercise; provided that failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the setoff; provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail all amounts owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
- 38 -

7.5 Proration of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 13.9 and excluding any payment made pursuant to any application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) on account of principal of or interest on any Loan (or on account of its exposure under any Letter of Credit) in excess of its share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on the Loans (or such exposure) then held by them, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans and Letters of Credit held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.
7.6 Taxes. All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s net income or receipts (all non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Company hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Company will:
(a)pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;
(b)promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and
(c)pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.
Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by the Agent or such Lender hereunder, the Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and the Company will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted.
If the Company fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 7.6, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Company.
- 39 -

Each Lender that (a) is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America or a state thereof and (b)(i) is a party hereto on the Effective Date or (ii) becomes an assignee of an interest under this Agreement under Section 13.9.1 after the Effective Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Agent one or more (as the Company or the Agent may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or such other forms or documents, appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish that such Lender is exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes. The Company shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to this Section 7.6 to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender to comply with this paragraph.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts reasonably selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify the Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
12.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the
- 66 -

account of the Lenders, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 11; provided that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
12.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that the Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Company hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of the Agent.
12.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand the Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company. The undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the obligations hereunder, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or
- 67 -

modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.
12.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. MBFS and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though MBFS were not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, MBFS or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), MBFS and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though MBFS were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include MBFS and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.
12.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Company, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 and Sections 13.6 and 13.13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
12.10 Collateral Matters. (a) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (i) to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent under any Collateral Document (x) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans and all other obligations of the Company hereunder, (y) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or (z) subject to Section 13.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and (ii) to subordinate its interest in any collateral to any holder of a Lien on such collateral which is permitted by clause (d)(i), (d)(iii), (d)(iv) or (h) of Section 9.8. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of collateral pursuant to this Section 12.10.
- 68 -

(b)Any and all proceeds of disposition or other realization on the collateral granted under the Collateral Documents (the “Collateral”) or from any realization on the Collateral received by the Agent in connection with any enforcement, sale, collection (including judicial or non-judicial foreclosure) or similar proceedings with respect to the Collateral or a demand or other enforcement or collection with respect to the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent, as follows:
FIRST: To the payment of the costs and expenses of such disposition, collection or other realization, including Attorney Costs, and all costs, expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Agent in connection therewith;
SECOND: To the payment of the Liabilities then due and owing in such order as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; and
THIRD: After payment in full of all Liabilities, any surplus then remaining from such proceeds shall be paid to the Company or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or paid as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Until such proceeds are so applied, the Agent shall hold such proceeds in its custody in accordance with its regular procedures for handling deposited funds.
(c)Upon request by the Company, the Agent shall release the Lien granted to and held by the Agent under any Mortgage, and shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Company, promptly provide all reasonably requested assistance to effect such release, so long as (i) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the release of such Lien and (ii) the Company has delivered to the Agent a pro forma Borrowing Base Certificate that demonstrates that, immediately after giving effect to the removal of such real estate from the Borrowing Base, the Total Outstandings will not exceed the sum of (x) the Borrowing Base plus (y) 35% of the Domestic Blue Sky Value.
12.11 Funding Reliance. (a) Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender by noon, Detroit time, on the day of a proposed borrowing for any borrowing other than a Same Day Loan (or by 3:00 P.M., Detroit time, on the day of a proposed borrowing for any Same Day Loan) that such Lender will not make available to the Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make a corresponding amount available to the Company. If and to the extent such Lender has not made such amount available to the Agent: (i) the Company agrees to repay such amount to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such borrowing, (ii) the Agent shall be entitled to retain all interest payments paid by the Company allocable to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such borrowing for the period from the time such Lender was required to make such amount available to the Agent until such Lender actually makes such amount available or such amount is indefeasibly paid to the Agent by the Company and (iii) such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith upon demand the greater of (x) all reasonable and actual costs incurred by the Agent as a result of such failure and (y) interest on such amount for the Agent’s account, for each day from the date such amount was to have been delivered to the Agent until the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to
- 69 -

time in effect. Nothing set forth in this clause (a) shall relieve any Lender of any obligation it may have to make any Loan hereunder.
(b)Unless the Agent receives notice from the Company prior to the due date for any payment hereunder (other than a Same Day Prepayment) that the Company does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender its share of such payment. If and to the extent that the Company has not made any such payment to the Agent, each Lender which received a share of such payment shall repay such share (or the relevant portion thereof) to the Agent forthwith on demand. With respect to all payments other than Same Day Prepayments, if and to the extent such Lender does not so repay the Agent on demand, (i) the Agent shall be entitled to retain all interest payments paid by the Company allocable to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment for the period from the time such Lender was required to so repay the Agent until such Lender actually pays the Agent such amount or the amount of such repayment is indefeasibly paid to the Agent by the Company and (ii) such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith upon demand the greater of (x) all reasonable and actual costs incurred by the Agent as a result of such failure to repay and (y) interest on such amount for the Agent’s account, for each day from the date such Lender was required to so repay such amount to the Agent until the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. Nothing set forth in this clause (b) shall relieve the Company of any obligation it may have to make any payment hereunder.
(c)The Agent may always assume that the Company has made each Same Day Prepayment on the Business Day upon which the notice of the Same Day Prepayment was received by the Agent and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender its share of such Same Day Prepayment. With respect to each Same Day Prepayment that is not made by the Company on the same Business Day as the Agent received the notice of such Same Day Prepayment, (i) each Lender which received a share of such Same Day Prepayment shall repay such share to the Agent forthwith on demand, (ii) the Agent shall be entitled to retain all interest payments paid by the Company allocable to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment for the period from the Business Day that the Agent received the notice of such Same Day Prepayment until such Lender actually pays the Agent such amount or the amount of such Same Day Prepayment is indefeasibly paid to the Agent by the Company and (iii) such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith upon demand the greater of (x) all reasonable and actual costs incurred by the Agent as a result of such failure to repay and (y) interest on its Pro Rata Share of such Same Day Prepayment, for the Agent’s account, for each day from the date that such Lender was required to so repay the Agent until the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. Nothing set forth in this clause (c) shall relieve the Company of any obligation it may have to make any payment hereunder.
12.12 Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against any Loan Party shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained
- 70 -

exclusively by, the Agent in accordance with Section 12.1 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from enforcing its right to payment when due of the principal of and interest on its Loans, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender under the Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 7.4 (subject to the terms of Section 7.5) or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Agent pursuant to this Section 12 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 7.5, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.
12.13 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other amounts that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under Sections 5, 13.6 and 13.13) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 5, 13.6 and 13.13.
SECTION 13 GENERAL.
13.1 Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

- 71 -

waiver or consent shall (i) amend, modify or waive Section 7.5, (ii) increase the Revolving Commitment Amount or the L/C Commitment Amount, (iii) extend the date for payment of any principal of or interest on the Loans, any reimbursement obligation with respect to any Letter of Credit or any fees payable hereunder, (iv) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the rate of interest thereon, any reimbursement obligation with respect to any Letter of Credit or any fees payable hereunder, (v) release all or a substantial number of the guarantors from the Guaranty or all or any substantial part of the collateral granted under the Collateral Documents, (vi) amend, modify or waive Section 6.3 or (vii) reduce the aggregate Pro Rata Share required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent without, in each case, the consent of all Lenders.

The Agent shall not execute any material amendment, modification or waiver of, or material consent with respect to, any provision of the Guaranty or any Collateral Document unless the same shall be approved in writing by the Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No provision of Section 12 or other provision of this Agreement affecting the Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Agent. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Issuing Lender.
13.2 Confirmations. The Company and each holder of a Note agree from time to time, upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to the Agent) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding under such Note.
13.3 Notices. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2 and in the last paragraph of Section 9.1, all notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Schedule 13.3 or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose.

13.6 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Company agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent (including Attorney Costs) in connection with the preparation, execution, syndication, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith (including any amendment, supplement or waiver to any Loan Document), and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent and each Lender after an Event of Default in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any such other documents.

13.9 Assignments; Participations.
13.9.1 Assignments. Any Lender may, with the prior written consents of the Agent and (so long as no Event of Default exists) the Company (which consents shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld and, in any event, shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to one
- 73 -

of its Affiliates or to any other Lender), at any time assign and delegate to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (any Person to whom such an assignment and delegation is to be made being herein called an “Assignee”) all or any fraction of such Lender’s Loans and Commitments (which assignment and delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s Loans and Commitments) in a minimum aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the assigning Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment Amount and (ii) $25,000,000; provided that (a) no assignment and delegation may be made to any Person if, at the time of such assignment and delegation, the Company would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 7.6 to the Assignee than the Company is then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under such Section (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, the Company will not be required to pay the incremental amounts), (b) no assignment and delegation may be made to any Person that does not assign and delegate to such Person an equal Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment Amount and the L/C Commitment Amount and all Revolving Loans and all Letters of Credit, (c) if, after giving effect to any assignment by the Agent, the Agent’s Pro Rata Share would be less than the Pro Rata Share of any other Lender, the Agent shall give each such Lender 60 days’ prior written notice of such assignment, (d) no assignment and delegation may be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof and (e) the Company and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until the date when all of the following conditions shall have been met:
(x) five Business Days (or such lesser period of time as the Agent and the assigning Lender shall agree) shall have passed after written notice of such assignment and delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee, shall have been given to the Company and the Agent by such assigning Lender and the Assignee,
(y) the assigning Lender and the Assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Company and the Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G (an “Assignment Agreement”), together with any documents required to be delivered thereunder, which Assignment Agreement shall have been accepted by the Agent, and
(z) except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates or another Lender, the assigning Lender or the Assignee shall have paid the Agent a processing fee of $3,500.
From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (x) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its
- 74 -

obligations hereunder. Within five Business Days after the effectiveness of any assignment and delegation, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent (for delivery to the Assignee) a new Note (unless the Assignee was already a holder of a Note immediately prior to such effectiveness). Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Accrued interest on that part of the obligations being assigned shall be paid as provided in the Assignment Agreement. Accrued interest and fees on that part of the obligations not being assigned shall be paid to the assigning Lender. Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be paid at the same time or times provided in the predecessor Note and in this Agreement. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 13.9.1 shall be null and void. Except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.9.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder).
13.9.2 Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, the Note held by such Lender, the Commitments of such Lender, the interest of such Lender in any Letter of Credit or any other interest of such Lender hereunder (any Person purchasing such participating interest being herein called a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (x) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (y) the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (z) all amounts payable by the Company shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting
- 75 -

rights hereunder except with respect to any of the events described in the fourth sentence of Section 13.1. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. The Company agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or such Note; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 7.5. The Company also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.6 as if it were a Lender (provided that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 7.6 than would have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold).
13.10 Governing Law. This Agreement and each Note shall be a contract made under and governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. All obligations of the Company and rights of the Agent and the Lenders expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law.
13.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement.
13.12 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company, the Lenders and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, the Lenders and the Agent and the successors and assigns of the Lenders and the Agent.
13.13 Indemnification.
(a)Indemnification by the Company. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Agent and the Lenders and the agreement to extend the Commitments provided hereunder, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold the Agent, each Lender and each of the officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents of the Agent and each Lender (each a “Lender Party”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including Attorney Costs (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Lender Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any tender offer, merger, purchase of stock, purchase of assets or other similar transaction financed or proposed to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any of the Loans, (ii) the use, handling, release,

Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Company hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by the Company in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
