Each assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, ratable percentage of all of the rights and obligations of any assigning Lender under this Agreement. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and shall not be permitted hereunder unless such assignment is either for all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents or, except for assignments to another Lender, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund, involves loans and commitments in an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000. Notice to the Global Administrative Agent shall be required prior to any assignment becoming effective and the consent of the Global Administrative Agent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required prior to any assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender and the consent of Harley (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Harley shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any assignment or purported assignment to an Ineligible Institution) unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Global Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof from the Global Administrative Agent) shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless (A) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time or (B) the Purchaser which is a Lender, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund; provided that, notwithstanding the preceding clause (B), (1) the Purchaser with respect to any assignment that does not require Harley’s consent under the preceding
12

clause (B) shall nevertheless provide written notice to Harley thereof prior to, or promptly after, such assignment and (2) the consent of Harley shall be required prior to any assignment resulting in the applicable Purchaser, collectively with its Affiliates and affiliated Approved Funds, holding Commitments in an aggregate amount greater than 15% of the Aggregate Commitment at such time (or, if the Commitments shall have been terminated, such Purchaser, collectively with its Affiliates and affiliated Approved Funds, would hold Loans aggregating to more than 15% in principal amount of all outstanding Loans at such time). It is understood and agreed that it shall be reasonable for Harley to consider a proposed Purchaser’s right to require reimbursement for incremental increased costs pursuant to Article III when determining whether to consent to any applicable assignment.”
(eee) Section 13.3(B) of the Credit Agreement is amended to replace the phrase “Upon (i) delivery to the Global Administrative Agent” appearing therein with the phrase “Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (C) below, upon (i) delivery to the Global Administrative Agent”.
(fff) Section 13.3(D) of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(D) Disqualified Institutions.
(i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or grant a participation in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless Harley has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Purchaser or Participant that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such Purchaser or Participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or Participant and (y) the execution by Harley of an assignment agreement with respect to such Purchaser will not by itself result in such Purchaser no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment or participation in violation of this clause (D)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (D) shall apply.
(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without Harley’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, Harley may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Global Administrative Agent, require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 13.3), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.
13

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions to whom an assignment or participation is made in violation of clause (i) above (A) will not have the right to (x) receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by Harley, the Global Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders (or any of them) and the Global Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Global Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter.
(iv) The Global Administrative Agent shall have the right, and Harley hereby expressly authorizes the Global Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by Harley and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System, including that portion of such platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same. The DQ List shall be subject to the requirements of Section 13.4.
(v) The Global Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Global Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, by any other Person to any Disqualified Institution.”
(ggg) Section 13.3(E) of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(E) EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.3, or elsewhere in this Agreement, the consent of Harley shall be required (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for an assignment to an assignee that is an EEA Financial Institution unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such assignment.”
(hhh) Section 13.4(i) of the Credit Agreement is amended to insert the parenthetical “(it being understood that the DQ List may be disclosed to any assignee or Participant, or prospective assignee or Participant, in reliance on and subject to the terms of this clause (6))” immediately after the phrase “any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement” appearing therein.
(iii) Section 14.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is amended to insert the parenthetical “(provided that any notification of the DQ List to the Global Administrative Agent shall be made via email to the following address:
14

JPMDQ_Contact@jpmorgan.com)” immediately after the phrase “notice to the other parties” appearing therein.
(jjj) Schedule 6.2.2(c) to the Credit Agreement is changed and restated as new Schedule 6.2.2(c) thereto as set forth and attached as Annex I hereto.
2. Conditions of Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the conditions precedent that the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by each Borrower, the Lenders whose consent is required under Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement and the Administrative Agent and counterparts of the Consent and Reaffirmation attached hereto duly executed by the Guarantors, (ii) such other instruments, documents and legal opinions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and (iii) payment and/or reimbursement of the reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and its affiliates (including, to the extent invoiced, reasonable fees and expenses of one U.S. counsel for the Administrative Agent) in connection with this Amendment and the Loan Documents to the extent invoices have been provided to the Borrowers reasonably in advance of the Effective Date.
3. Representations and Warranties of each Borrower. Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent as follows:
(a) This Amendment and the Credit Agreement as amended hereby constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity, regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(b) As of the date hereof and giving effect to the terms of this Amendment, (i) no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the representations and warranties of such Borrower contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, are true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date, except for representations and warranties made with reference solely to an earlier date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.
4. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement.
(a) Upon the effectiveness hereof, each reference to the Credit Agreement in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
(b) Except as specifically amended above, the Credit Agreement and all other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
(c) Except as specifically provided above, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.
15

5. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to banks.
6. Headings. Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.
7. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
