(b) Method of Prepayment. Prepayments (other than mandatory prepayments) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of a prepayment not later than 11:00 a.m. (Phoenix, Arizona time) one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount to be prepaid. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid.

2.3 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of clause (b) below, each Revolving Loan shall bear interest at the applicable Interest Rate.

(b) Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Revolving Loan or any fee or other amount payable by Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at the Default Rate. In addition, from and after an Event of Default, all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(c) Late Fee. If any payment of interest and/or principal is not received by Administrative Agent when such payment is due, then in addition to the remedies conferred upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (i) a late charge of 5% of the amount due and unpaid or $10.00, whichever is greater (the “Late Fee”), will be added to the delinquent amount for any payment past due in excess of ten (10) days, regardless of any notice and cure periods, and (ii) the amount due and unpaid (including the unpaid Late Fee) shall bear interest at the Default Rate, computed from the date on which the amount was due and payable until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Late Fee will not apply to a balloon payment of principal due upon the maturity of the Loan. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (A) the Late Fee is not a penalty; (B) is intended to compensate Administrative Agent and Lenders for the internal administrative costs and expenses of monitoring, handling and processing late payments (including, for example, staff costs arising from internal and regulatory reporting of delinquencies, additional underwriting analysis, in-house legal review, and credit committee reviews) over and above the economic costs associated with the loss of use of money and out of pocket costs otherwise subject to reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (C) the amount of the Late Fee is a reasonable forecast of just compensation for the harm caused by the failure to timely make the applicable payment; and (D) the actual damage is incapable or very difficult of accurate estimation.

(d) Interest Payments. Accrued interest on the Revolving Loans shall be payable in arrears, and Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent all accrued, unpaid interest on the Loan on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.3(b) shall be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment or other termination of the credit facility provided pursuant to this Agreement, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment, prepayment or termination.

34

(e) Computation of Interest. Interest on the Obligations shall be computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under the Loan is computed using this method. This calculation method results in a higher effective interest rate than the numeric interest rate stated in this Agreement. By executing below, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees to the calculation of interest in accordance with a year of 360 days and acknowledges that calculation of interest in accordance with this paragraph will increase the Loan’s effective interest rate above the stated Interest Rate and Default Rate, as applicable.

(f) Advances for Interest and Fees. Borrower and Lenders hereby authorize Administrative Agent and Lenders to make Revolving Loans to pay interest accrued on the Loan, notwithstanding that Borrower may not have requested a disbursement of such amount. Administrative Agent or any Lender may make such Revolving Loans notwithstanding that Borrower may be in default under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Nothing in this provision shall prevent Borrower from paying interest and fees from its own funds, or otherwise excuse Borrower’s obligation to pay such interest and fees. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate Administrative Agent or any Lender to make such disbursements to pay interest. The authorization hereby granted shall be irrevocable and at Administrative Agent’s discretion, and no further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary for Administrative Agent to make such disbursements on behalf of the Lenders.

2.4 Revolving Loans.

(a) Method for Revolving Loans. Subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent in this Agreement, Revolving Loans funded by the Lenders will be made available to Borrower by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders at the request of a Responsible Officer of Borrower, which request must be made at least five (5) Business Days before the date the requested Revolving Loan is to be made. Borrowings will be made not more often than once per week. Each Draw Request pursuant to this Section shall specify the following information: (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or an Index Rate Borrowing; and (iv) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed. Promptly following receipt of a Draw Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loans to be made as part of the requested advance. Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to make Revolving Loans and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Draw Requests to be given telephonically. Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation (including a written Draw Request), if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by a Responsible Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from

35

the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent has no duty to monitor for Borrower or to report to Borrower the use of proceeds of Revolving Loans. Except as provided above, each request for a Revolving Loan submitted by Borrower to the Administrative Agent shall be accompanied by a Draw Request. Each Revolving Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000 and in increments of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Revolving Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes (including the repayment of existing Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on the Effective Date, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, construction, horizontal and vertical development and redevelopment) and other lawful corporate purposes not in contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document.

(c) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make its Applicable Percentage of each Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s office not later than 12:00 noon (Phoenix, Arizona time) on the proposed date thereof. The Administrative Agent will make all such funds so received available to Borrower in like funds, either by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with the instructions provided in the applicable Draw Request or by deposit to an account of Borrower at Administrative Agent; provided that Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.5(g) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(d) Prepayments. If for any reason the Outstanding Credit Exposure at any time exceeds the Available Loan Commitment then in effect, Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) unless such excess continues after the prepayment in full of the Loans.

(e) Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Revolving Loan or (ii) in the case of Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (A) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three (3) days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Revolving Loan or (B) in the case of payment by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Revolving Loan (including the Default Rate, if applicable).

36

(f) Elections by Borrower for Borrowings. The Loans comprising each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Draw Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert a Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type, all as provided in this Section. The 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.

(g) Notice of Elections. Each such election of the Type of Borrowing pursuant to this Section shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent. Each such notice shall be in the form of a written Interest Election Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, or may be given by telephone to the Administrative Agent (if promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of such a written Interest Election Request consistent with such telephonic notice) and must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than the time that a Draw Request would be required under Section 2.4 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Interest Election Requests to change the Type of a Borrowing may not be submitted more frequently than once per month and will take effect on the first day of the month following submission of such Interest Election Request.

(h) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each Interest Election Request pursuant to this Section shall specify the following information:

(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) below 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; and

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or Index Rate Borrowing.

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

(j) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If no election as to the Type of a Borrowing is specified in the applicable Draw Request, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. 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 the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Index Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Index Rate Borrowing shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing.

37

(k) Notice by Administrative Agent to Lenders. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

2.5 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Revolving Loans, Borrower may request the Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.5, to issue, at any time and from time to time prior to the L/C Commitment Expiration Date, Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for Borrower’s own account or the account of any Project Owner in such form as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank in its reasonable determination. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Commitment.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension, Reinstatement or Renewal. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment of the terms and conditions, extension of the terms and conditions, extension of the expiry date, or reinstatement of amounts paid, or renewal of an outstanding Letter of Credit), Borrower shall deliver (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the respective Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and to the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, extended, reinstated or renewed, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.5(d)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, extend, reinstate or renew such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application and reimbursement agreement on Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application and reimbursement agreement or other agreement submitted by Borrower to, or entered into by Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(c) Evergreen Credits. If the Borrower so requests in any notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion (and with no obligation to do so), agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that, if and to the extent that the Issuing Bank agrees to issue an Evergreen Letter of Credit, then in addition to all other requirements for the issuance of Letters of Credit, (i) the Borrower shall pay such additional Letter of Credit fees with respect thereto (and at such times and for such periods) as the Issuing Bank may require each in its sole and absolute discretion and (ii) in addition to other requirements of the Issuing Bank, any such Evergreen Letter of Credit shall permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension

38

Notice Date”) in each such twelve (12) month period to be agreed upon by Borrower and the Issuing Bank at the time such Letter of Credit is issued (which date will, at a minimum, allow the Issuing Bank to cause such Evergreen Letter of Credit to expire at least 30 days before the Maturity Date). Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiration date not later than the L/C Commitment Expiration Date; provided, that the Issuing Bank shall not (i) permit any such extension if (A) the Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (except that the expiration date may be extended to a date that is no more than one year from the then-current expiry date) or (B) it has received notice (which may be in writing or by telephone (if promptly confirmed in writing)) on or before the day that is fifteen (15) days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (ii) be obligated to permit such extension if it has received notice (which may be in writing or by telephone (if promptly confirmed in writing)) on or before the day that is fifteen (15) days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.

(d) Limitations on Amounts, Issuance and Amendment. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, extended, reinstated or renewed only if (and upon issuance, amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal of each Letter of Credit, Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal (i) the aggregate amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit, (ii) the aggregate L/C Obligations shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit, (iii) the Outstanding Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed its Commitment and (iv) the Outstanding Credit Exposure of all Lenders shall not exceed the Available Loan Commitment. In addition, the Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) Any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date hereof, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the date hereof and that the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it.

(ii) The issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

(iii) Except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, each in its sole discretion, such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $500,000.

39

(iv) The Letter of Credit is not a standby letter of credit issued in connection with an approved project to secure obligations of Borrower or the applicable Project Owner that are directly related to the Approved Lines of Business.

(v) Any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either such Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

(e) Expiry Date. Each Letter of Credit shall have a stated expiry date no later than the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension of the expiration date thereof, twelve months after the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit) and (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date.

(f) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount or extending the expiration date thereof), and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank promptly upon the request of the Issuing Bank at any time from the time of such L/C Disbursement until such L/C Disbursement is reimbursed by Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to Borrower for any reason, including after the Maturity Date. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.4(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.4(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5(g),

40

the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement shall not constitute a Revolving Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.

Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Commitment is amended pursuant to the operation of Section 2.13, as a result of an assignment in accordance with Section 10.5 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

(g) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect of such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than noon (Phoenix, Arizona time) on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice from Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank; provided that, if Borrower has otherwise satisfied all of the conditions and requirements for a Revolving Loan and is entitled to immediate funding of the Revolving Loan as of the date such reimbursement is due, Borrower may request in accordance with this Agreement that such payment be financed with a Revolving Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.

(h) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in Section 2.5(g) 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 this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision herein or 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 in such draft or other document being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank 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, or (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, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, or 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 Bank 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, any error in translation or any

41

consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’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 Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination, and that:

(i) the Issuing Bank may replace a purportedly lost, stolen, or destroyed original Letter of Credit or missing amendment thereto with a replacement marked as such or waive a requirement for its presentation;

(ii) the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and without regard to any non-documentary condition in such Letter of Credit;

(iii) the Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(iv) this paragraph shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by the Issuing Bank when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of (i) any presentation that includes forged or fraudulent documents or that is otherwise affected by the fraudulent, bad faith, or illegal conduct of the beneficiary or other Person, (ii) the Issuing Bank declining to take-up documents and make payment (A) against documents that are fraudulent, forged, or for other reasons by which that it is entitled not to honor or (B) following a Borrower’s waiver of discrepancies with respect to such documents or request for honor of such documents or (iii) the Issuing Bank retaining proceeds of a Letter of Credit based on an apparently applicable attachment order, blocking regulation, or third-party claim notified to such Issuing Bank.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued by it, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the Issuing Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Laws or any order of a jurisdiction where the Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or

42

in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the International Chamber of Commerce Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such laws or practice rules.

The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit and the documents associated therewith, and the Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article 9 of this Agreement with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and L/C Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article 9 of this Agreement included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Bank.

(i) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, within the time allowed by applicable Laws or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of such demand for payment if such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(j) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans; provided that if the Borrower fails to reimburse such L/C Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.5(g), then the Default Rate shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(g) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(k) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid L/C Fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.14(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous Issuing Bank. After the replacement of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank 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.

43

The Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. After the resignation of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, reinstate, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit.

(l) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing or if a deposit of cash collateral is otherwise required pursuant to this Section 2.5 or any other provision of the Loan Documents, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with L/C Obligations representing at least 50% of the total L/C Obligations) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into an account established and maintained on the books and records of the Administrative Agent (the “Collateral Account”) an amount in cash equal to 105% of the total L/C Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, 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 the Borrower described in Sections 8.1(f) and (g). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, and Borrower grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in such Collateral Account and all Cash Collateral therein. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or Section 2.5(d), if any L/C Obligations remain outstanding (i) on the date Lenders’ Commitments are cancelled or (ii) after the date that is 30 days before the Maturity Date (without in any way obligating the Issuing Bank or any Lender to permit any Letter of Credit to remain outstanding after the date that is 30 days before the Maturity Date), the Borrower shall immediately deposit into the Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 105% of such L/C Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral 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 the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the Collateral Account. Moneys in the Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs, and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Obligations at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with L/C Obligations representing greater an 50% of the total L/C Obligations), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder solely as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived unless such cash collateral is otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement.

44

(m) Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Project Owners or Other Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Project Owner or other Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Project Owners and Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Project Owners and Subsidiaries.

2.6 Maturity of the Obligations. On the Maturity Date or, if sooner, upon acceleration of the Maturity Date after an Event of Default, all Obligations, together with all principal, interest, and other charges outstanding pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be immediately due and payable.

2.7 Extension of Maturity Date.

(a) Requests for Extension. Borrower may, by written notice to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 90 days and not later than 30 days prior to each annual anniversary of the Effective Date (each such annual anniversary, an “Extension Effective Date”), request that the then-existing Maturity Date be extended for an additional one year; provided, however, that any such request may be made only once during each such 60-day period.

(b) Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to Administrative Agent given not later than the date (the “Extension Election Notice Date”) that is 20 days prior to the annual anniversary of the Effective Date, advise Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of such determination (but in any event no later than the Extension Election Notice Date) and any Lender that does not so advise Administrative Agent on or before the Extension Election Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date 15 days prior to the annual anniversary of the Effective Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day).

(d) Additional Lenders. Borrower shall have the right to cause each Non-Extending Lender to assign its Commitment to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Lender”) as provided in Section 10.5; provided that each of such Additional Lenders shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Lender shall, effective as of the Extension Effective Date, provide a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Lender is already a Lender, its additional Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s existing Commitment hereunder on such date). No existing Lender is required to be an Additional Lender.

45

(e) Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) (i) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend their Maturity Date (each, an “Extending Lender”) and the additional Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall be more than 66²/₃% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Extension Effective Date, and (ii) Borrower complies with Section 2.7(f), then, effective as of the Extension Effective Date, the Maturity Date with respect to all Lenders shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to the Extension Effective Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and each Additional Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. As conditions precedent to each such extension:

(i) Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party as of the Extension Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender and each Additional Commitment Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such extension and (B) in the case of Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (1) the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (2) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom.

(ii) On the Extension Effective Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent a fee, for the pro rata account of each Lender an amount provided in the Fee Letter, which fee shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.

(iii) (A) Upon the reasonable request of any Lender, including any Additional Lender, made at least 15 days prior to the Extension Effective Date, Borrower shall have provided to such Lender, and such Lender shall be reasonably satisfied with, the documentation and other information so requested in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act, in each case at least 10 days prior to the Extension Effective Date and (B) at least 10 days prior to the Extension Effective Date, any Loan Party that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation shall have delivered, to each Lender that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Loan Party.

(iv) On the date of the notice described in Section 2.7(a) and the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, (A) the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom.

46

(g) Amendment. In connection with any extension of the Maturity Date, Borrower, Guarantors and Administrative Agent will execute such amendments to this Agreement as Administrative Agent determines to be reasonably necessary to evidence the extension. This Section 2.7 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.2 to the contrary.

2.8 Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) Lender Accounts. 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 Revolving Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) Administrative Agent Accounts. The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Revolving Loan made hereunder, (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 from Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Evidence. The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(d) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that its Commitment be evidenced by a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit E. In such event, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note or Notes payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Commitment evidenced by each such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 10.5) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Commitment once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

(e) Maximum Interest Rate.

(i) Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay, and the Lenders shall not be entitled to charge, collect, receive, reserve, or take, interest (it being understood that “interest” shall be calculated as the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under applicable Law that are contracted for, charged, reserved, received, or paid) in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. During any period of time in which the interest rates specified herein exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, interest shall accrue and be payable at such maximum rate; provided that, if the interest rates decline below the Highest Lawful Rate, interest shall continue to accrue and be payable at the Highest Lawful Rate (so long as there remains any unpaid principal with respect to the Revolving Loans) until the interest that has been paid equals the amount of interest that would have been paid if interest had at all times accrued and been payable at the applicable interest rates specified in this Agreement.

47

(ii) Application to Principal. If, for any reason, the Lenders receive anything of value as interest or anything deemed interest by applicable Law under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise that results in the Lenders receiving interest in an amount in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, the amount of such excess shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing hereunder and not to the payment of interest. If the amount of such excess exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Loan such amount shall be refunded to Borrower.

(iii) Determination of Rate. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to the Loan exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, Borrower and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law: (A) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest; (B) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; (C) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the actual term of the Loan so that it does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law; or (D) allocate interest between portions of the Loan so that, to the greatest extent possible, no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than the Highest Lawful Rate.

(iv) Applicable Law. For purposes of this Section 2.8, the term “applicable Law” means the internal laws of the State of Arizona, provided that, to the extent, contrary to the express intent of the parties, Arizona law is found to be inapplicable to this Agreement, then “applicable Law” also means that law in effect from time to time and applicable to this loan transaction which lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful, non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

(v) Effective Rate. Borrower hereby agrees to pay an effective, contracted-for rate of interest that is the interest rate provided for in this Agreement (as in effect from time to time), together with any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges of interest or in the nature of interest paid or to be paid in connection with the Revolving Loans, including any fees to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents or the Fee Letter.

2.9 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Revolving Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Revolving Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Revolving Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.10 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

48

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

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank 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;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Revolving Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Installation of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Revolving Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 2.10(a) and (b) and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than sixty (60) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the sixty (60) days referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

49

2.11 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower 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 Borrower 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) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower 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 the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) 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 Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), 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 ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.5(d) 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 Section 2.11(e).

50

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, Borrower 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.

(g) 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable 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 Sections 2.11(g)(ii)(A), 2.11(g)(ii)(B) and 2.11(g)(ii)(D)) 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 Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

51

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E; or

(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, IRS Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-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 F-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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of 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 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for 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, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.11(g)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

52

Each Lender 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(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 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) 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 Section 2.11(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 to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.11(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 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This 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 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.

2.12 Illegality; Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loan advances whose interest is determined by reference to LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, U.S. Dollars in the London interbank eurodollar market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower (through Administrative Agent), any obligation of such Lender to make or maintain advances of the Loan at the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended, in each case until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, in which case the Loans will accrue interest at the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, all Loans accruing interest based on the LIBOR Rate will instead accrue interest at the Base Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

53

(b) Inability to Determine Rates. If no Benchmark Transition Event or other event described in Section 1.7 has occurred, and Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) U.S. Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market in the amount of any proposed or existing advance of the Loan for terms equal to one (1) month, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for proposed or existing advances of the Loan, or (iii) Administrative Agent or Required Lenders determine that for any reason LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain advances of the Loan at the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by Required Lenders described in clause (iii) above, until Administrative Agent upon instruction of Required Lenders) revokes such notice. During the period of such suspension, all proposed advances and all amounts from day to day outstanding which are not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the Base Rate.

2.13 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Installation. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to such Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then such Lender shall promptly upon becoming aware thereof use reasonable efforts to (i) designate a different Lending Installation for funding or booking its Revolving Loans hereunder, (ii) assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, or (iii) take such other actions as such Lender may deem reasonable, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation, assignment or other action (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11, as the case may be, in the future, and (B) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially 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 or other remedial action.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, 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 2.11 and, in each case, such Lender has, for any reason or for no reason, declined or is unable to remedy the circumstances giving rise thereto in accordance with Section 2.13(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrower 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, and consents required by, Section 10.5), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights, if any, to payments pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.5;

54

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.10) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, (A) any Lender that acts as an Issuing Bank may not be replaced hereunder at any time it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing of a backstop standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit and (B) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.6.

2.14 Increases in Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. Following the Effective Date, Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), request an increase in the Commitments (each such increase, an “Incremental Commitment”) by an aggregate amount (for all such requests) not to exceed the sum of (x) $350,000,000 (i.e. for a total Commitment Amount of $850,000,000); provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (A) $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be approved by the Administrative Agent) and (B) the entire remaining amount of increases available under this Section, and (y) in the case of any Incremental Commitment that effectively replaces any Commitments terminated pursuant to Section 2.13(b), an amount equal to the portion of such Commitments so terminated.

55

(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase (each such existing Lender or other Person that agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment, an “Incremental Lender”). Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental Commitment Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Incremental Commitment Effective Date.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Incremental Lender unless:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Incremental Commitment Effective Date and after giving effect to such increase;

(ii) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Incremental Commitment Effective Date and after giving effect to such increase, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date);

(iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received one or more Joinder Agreements contemplated above, providing for Incremental Commitments in the amount of such increase;

(iv) if required by the Incremental Lender (subject to Borrower’s approval right pursuant to Section 2.12(b)), Borrower shall have paid the amount of attorneys’ fees incurred by Incremental Lender in connection with the Incremental Commitment; and

(v) the Administrative Agent shall have received such legal opinions and other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith.

(f) Joinder Agreement. Incremental Commitments shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to a Joinder Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Person or Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, and Administrative Agent. Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to

56

effect the provisions of this Section. As of such Incremental Commitment Effective Date, upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the documents required by this paragraph (f), the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in the applicable Joinder Agreement(s) in the Register and give prompt notice of the increase in the Commitments to Borrower and the Lenders (including each Incremental Lender).

(g) Adjustments to Outstanding Revolving Loans. On each Incremental Commitment Effective Date, (i) if there are Revolving Loans then outstanding, each Incremental Lender shall make a payment to Administrative Agent in an amount sufficient, upon the application of such payments by all Incremental Lenders to the reduction of the outstanding Revolving Loans held by each Lender, to cause the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Loans made by such Lender (including the Incremental Lender) to be in the amount of its Applicable Percentage (upon the effective date of such Incremental Commitment, after giving effect to such Incremental Commitment) of all outstanding Revolving Loans, and (ii) if there are Letters of Credit then outstanding, the participation of the Lenders in such Letters of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect the Applicable Percentages of all the Lenders (including the Incremental Lender) after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Commitment(s). Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Incremental Lender to fund to Administrative Agent the payment required to be made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence for application to the reduction of the outstanding Revolving Loans held by the other Lenders and each such payment shall constitute a Revolving Loan hereunder.

2.15 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. On the Effective Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, in advance, a commitment fee pursuant to the Fee Letter.

(b) Extension Fees. Upon the effectiveness of each extension of the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent in advance any extension fees provided pursuant to the Fee Letter.

(c) L/C Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a Letter of Credit fee with respect to its participation in each outstanding Letter of Credit (the “L/C Fee”) upon the issuance or extension thereof (and as a further condition precedent to such issuance or extension) for the entire term of such Letter of Credit equal to 0.50% per annum of the maximum amount that may at any time be available to be drawn thereon. In addition, if the stated amount of any Letter of Credit is increased, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the L/C Fee on the amount of the increase, which fee shall be due and payable on the date of the increase. Each L/C Fee paid to the Administrative Agent shall be nonrefundable and fully earned as of the date paid.

(d) Issuing Bank Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect, which fees, costs and charges shall be payable to such Issuing Bank within five (5) Business Days after its demand therefor and are nonrefundable.

57

(e) Unused Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender for the period from the Effective Date to the Maturity Date, at a rate equal to the applicable Unused Fee Rate. The Unused Fee shall be due and payable in arrears (x) on the first Business Day after the end of each of March, June, September and December, and (y) on the Maturity Date (or any earlier acceleration of the Obligations) , in each case for any period then ending for which the Unused Fee has not previously been paid. For purposes of computing the Unused Fees, the Commitment of any Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the aggregate principal amount at such time of its outstanding Revolving Loans and such Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations. The Unused Fee shall be calculated in arrears and if different Unused Fee Rates apply during any period of calculation, the daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the applicable Unused Fee Rate for each period during which such Unused Fee Rate was in effect.

(f) Fees Non-Refundable. Borrower acknowledges that all fees payable under this Section 2.15 are (i) fully earned on the date on which they are payable, and (ii) nonrefundable when paid (exclusive of double payments and other manifest errors).

(g) Computation of Fees. All fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.16 General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at One East Washington Street, 14^th Floor, Phoenix, Arizona 85004, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to Borrower, by noon (Phoenix, Arizona time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at the address specified above or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of Borrower maintained with Western Alliance Bank for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

(b) No Setoff, Etc. All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made without any setoff, deduction, or counterclaim.

2.17 Cash Collateral.

(a) Obligation to Cash Collateralize. In addition to Cash Collateral otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement, at any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(v) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

58

(b) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to Section 2.17(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section or Section 2.18 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination or cessation of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.17 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may mutually agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

2.18 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 10.2(c).

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.9 shall be applied

59

at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.17; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.17; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Revolving Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (iv) below. 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment or other fees to which it would otherwise be entitled for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender, as determined by Administrative Agent). The foregoing shall not obligate Administrative Agent to share any fees with any Lender or otherwise entitle any Lender to any fees except as expressly agreed in writing between Administrative Agent and such Lender or as expressly provided in this Agreement.

60

(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.17.

(C) With respect to any L/C Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Loans of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 10.19, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17.

(b) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, increase, reinstate or renew any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(c) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative 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, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans to be funded in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower 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.

61

2.19 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, (any such Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding Section 2.19(b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds 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 from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 2.19(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding Section 2.19(a), each Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.19(b).

62

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding Section 2.19(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding Section 2.19(a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Revolving Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Revolving Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Revolving Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Revolving Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Revolving Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Revolving Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

63

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 2.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

ARTICLE III.

BORROWING BASE

3.1 Determination of Eligible Assets/Borrowing Base. The Borrowing Base shall consist of the Asset Value of the Eligible Assets set forth in the most recent Borrowing Base Report as determined by Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with this Agreement and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 3.

(a) Advance Rates Applicable to Eligible Assets. The Borrowing Base will be determined as of each Borrowing Base Valuation Date by determining the Asset Value of the Unrestricted Cash and Eligible Assets directly owned by Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor depending upon the classification of such Eligible Asset, subject, in each case, to the limitations set forth below. In determining the Asset Values, the Asset Values of each class of Eligible Asset is set forth in the chart below:

Eligible Asset	Asset Value
Unrestricted Cash	100% of the amount of Unrestricted Cash of Borrower in excess of the Threshold Cash Amount then in effect
Presold Units	90% of Cost
Spec Units	80% of Cost (subject to the limitations in Section 3.1(b) and 3.3(b) below)
Model Units	80% of Cost (subject to the limitations in Section 3.1(d) below)
Finished Lots	70% of Cost (subject to the limitations in Section 3.1(e) below)
A&D Lots	65% of Cost (subject to the limitations in Section 3.1(e) below)
Entitled Land	55% of Cost (subject to the limitations in Section 3.1(c) below)

64

(b) Limitations on Spec Units. (i) The combined Asset Value of Spec Units included in the Borrowing Base shall be limited to lesser of (1) 40% of the Commitment Amount, or (2) 40% of the total Asset Value of the Borrowing Base.

(c) Limitations on Entitled Land. The combined Asset Value of Entitled Land shall be limited to lesser of (i) 15% of the Commitment Amount, or (ii) 15% of the total Asset Value of the Borrowing Base.

(d) Limitations on Model Units. The aggregate number of Model Units included in the Borrowing Base from any single Subdivision will not at any one time exceed 10 Model Units.

(e) Limitations on A&D Lots and Finished Lots. The combined Asset Value of A&D Lots and Finished Lots shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of the total Asset Value of the Borrowing Base and (ii) 50% of the Commitment Amount.

(f) Adjustment to Borrowing Base. Any Units, Lots or Entitled Land that are not Eligible Assets shall be immediately and automatically removed from the Borrowing Base and the Asset Value thereof will be removed from the Borrowing Base.

3.2 Lot Term Limits.

(a) Finished Lots. Each Finished Lot may be included in Eligible Assets as a Finished Lot for not more than eighteen (18) months from the date such Finished Lot was first included in the Eligible Assets as a Finished Lot.

(b) A&D Lots. Each A&D Lot may be included in Eligible Assets as an A&D Lot for not more than twenty-four (24) months from the date such A&D Lot was first included in the Eligible Assets as an A&D Lot.

(c) Entitled Land: Any Entitled Land may be included in Eligible Assets as Entitled Land for not more than twenty-four (24) months from the date such Entitled Land was first included in the Eligible Assets as Entitled Land.

(d) Transfer of Lots for Unit Construction. Borrower may reclassify an A&D Lot or Finished Lot as a Unit subject to the provisions of this Agreement relating to Units.

3.3 Unit Term Limits. Subject to the additional limitations on the Borrowing Base set forth herein, Units may be included in the Eligible Assets for the time periods provided below.

(a) Presold Units. Each Presold Unit may be included in Eligible Assets for not more than twelve (12) months from the original Unit Eligibility Date for such Unit; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Presold Unit may be included in Eligible Assets for two (2) additional consecutive periods of three (3) months each (i.e., for a total Unit Term of eighteen (18) months from the original Unit Eligibility Date). A

65

Presold Unit no longer subject to a Purchase Contract will be deemed to be a Spec Unit as of the date the Unit is no longer subject to a Purchase Contract. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, a Unit will not be considered to be a Presold Unit unless and until a final public report (if a public report is required by applicable Requirements) has been obtained by Borrower (or the applicable Project Owner) and delivered to the purchaser of such Unit and all cancellation periods in favor of such purchaser with respect to such public report have expired.

(b) Spec Units. Each Spec Unit may be included in Eligible Assets for not more than twelve (12) months from the original Unit Eligibility Date for such Unit; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Spec Units may be included in Eligible Assets for two (2) additional consecutive periods of three (3) months each (i.e., for a total Unit Term of eighteen (18) months from the original Unit Eligibility Date); provided further, however, that during the second such three (3) month period the Asset Value for each such Unit will be reduced to 70% of Cost. No Unit may be included in the Eligible Assets as a Spec Unit (including by reclassification of a Presold Unit as a Spec Unit) if after giving effect to such inclusion any of the provisions of Section 3.1(b) would be exceeded or such inclusion is otherwise not permitted pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Approval of Borrowing Base Report. Each proposed Borrowing Base Report shall be subject to adjustment by Administrative Agent based upon (i) Administrative Agent’s review of such report, (ii) Administrative Agent’s inspections made pursuant to Section 6.11 (as such inspections may result in any adjustments to reflect any variance between the Borrowing Base Report and/or the Real Estate Inventory report and the results of such inspections by Administrative Agent), and (iii) such other information as Administrative Agent may reasonably require in order to verify the Borrowing Base, Eligible Assets, the Asset Value of the Borrowing Base, and all other amounts and items relating thereto.

amount of each Revolving Loan (and all other amounts and items entering into such determinations), will be final, conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to review each Borrowing Base Report and make any adjustments or provide approval within three (3) Business Days after receipt of each Borrowing Base Report that complies with the requirements of this Section 3.4; provided that Administrative Agent’s failure to give such notice or delay in giving such notice shall not limit, waive or reduce any of the Obligations.

(d) Failure to Deliver Borrowing Base Report. In the event that Borrower fails to deliver a Borrowing Base Report as and when required pursuant to this Agreement, in addition to all rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and without waiving any Event of Default resulting from such failure, Administrative Agent may compute the Asset Values of the Eligible Assets in the Borrowing Base in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion and such determination by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and immediately effective unless and until Administrative Agent has approved a Borrowing Base Report submitted by Borrower.

3.5 General.

(a) If any Eligible Asset is sold, materially damaged, destroyed, or becomes subject to any condemnation proceeding, or otherwise becomes not eligible to be Eligible Assets pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, then such Eligible Asset will no longer be Eligible Assets upon such sale or upon such Eligible Asset becoming ineligible, as the case may be and Borrower shall repay the Obligations to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.4(d) within one Business Day or such sale or ineligibility.

(b) Anything in this Article 3 or the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower agrees that (a) no limitation on any Revolving Loans required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement will limit or otherwise change Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under the applicable Loan Documents and (b) Borrower will remain obligated to pay all costs, expenses, and fees required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Each Loan Party has disclosed to Administrative Agent all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. No report, financial statement, certificate or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any Loan Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

(f) Litigation. Except as disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing prior to the date of this Agreement, there are no actions, suits proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the actual knowledge of the Borrower or any Loan Party, threatened, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against any Loan Party or against any of their properties or revenues that (a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) either individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.

(l) Impositions. Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 6.6, Borrower and each other Loan Party has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns (federal, state, and local) required to be filed by Borrower or such Loan Party and has paid or caused to be paid all Impositions and other amounts shown thereon to be due (including, without limitation, any interest or penalties) except for any failure to so file or to so pay that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change .

(m) Compliance With Law. Each Loan Party is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all applicable Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (x) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (y) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.

(n) Use of Proceeds; Margin Stock. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans will be used by Borrower solely for the purposes specified in this Agreement. None of such proceeds will be used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” as defined in Regulation U or G of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 C.F.R. Part 221 and 207), or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry margin stock or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a “purpose credit” within the meaning of such Regulation U or G. Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. Neither Borrower nor any Person acting on behalf of Borrower has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement or any other Loan Document to violate Regulation U or G or any other regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereafter be in effect. Borrower and its subsidiaries own no “margin stock”.

72

(o) ERISA Compliance.

(i) Except as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to cause a Material Adverse Change, (i) each Plan is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state Laws and (ii) each Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS to the effect that the form of such Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by the IRS to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS, and, to the knowledge of Borrower, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status.

(ii) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened or contemplated claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

(iii) No ERISA Event has occurred, and Borrower is not aware of any fact, event or circumstance that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA Event with respect to any Pension Plan that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

(iv) Except as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to cause a Material Adverse Change, the present value of all accrued benefits under each Pension Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Pension Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Pension Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan, the potential liability of Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 or Section 4205 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to cause a Material Adverse Change.

73

Borrower and its Subsidiaries have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure continued compliance with applicable Sanctions, the FCPA and any other applicable anti-corruption laws.

(q) Solvency. Each Loan Party is Solvent.

(r) Taxes. Each Loan Party has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns (federal, state, or local) required to be filed by such Loan Party and has paid all taxes and other amounts shown thereon to be due (including, without limitation, any interest or penalties), except as may be contested by such Loan Party in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been set aside by such Loan Party.

5.2 Representations and Warranties Upon Delivery of Financial Statements, Documents, and Other Information. Each delivery by Borrower of financial statements, other documents, or information after the date of this Agreement (including, without limitation, documents and information delivered in obtaining a Revolving Loan) will be a representation and warranty to Administrative Agent by Borrower that such financial statements, other documents, or information (other than financial projections) are correct and complete in all material respects, that there are no material omissions therefrom that result in such financial statements, other documents, or information being materially incomplete, incorrect, or misleading as of the date thereof, and that such financial statements accurately present the financial condition and results of operations of the subject thereof as at the dates thereof and for the periods covered thereby.

(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds received shall be applied (i) first towards payment of fees, indemnities and expense reimbursements then due hereunder to the parties entitled thereto; (ii) second, towards payment of interest then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to each such parties; (iii) third, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereof in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties; and (iv) fourth, towards payment of Bank Product Liabilities then due.

ARTICLE IX.

AGENCY

9.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Western Alliance Bank to act on its behalf as the Administrative 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. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.6(b), the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

9.2 Rights as a Lender. 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 the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

91

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) 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 as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.1 and 10.2), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by Borrower or a Lender.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or 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 or the occurrence of any Default, (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 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

92

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Revolving Loan or the issuance, extension, increase, reinstatement or renewal of a Letter of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Loan as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

9.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon approval by the Borrower if no Event of Default then exists, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in Phoenix, Arizona, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in Phoenix, Arizona. If no such successor shall have been appointed by the Required Lenders as aforesaid and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

93

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may and upon the request of the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, upon approval by the Borrower if no Event of Default then exists, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. 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 retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

9.7 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.8 No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Person designated as an “arranger,” “syndication agent,” “bookrunner” or other title shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender hereunder.

94

9.9 Administrative 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 Borrower or any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Revolving Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) 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 Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations 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 Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 10.4) 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 in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(c) 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 Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 10.4.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender.

9.10 Bank Product Liability Arrangements. By reason of a Lender’s execution of this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption, as the case may be, any Affiliate of such Lender with whom any Loan Party has entered into an agreement creating a Bank Product Liability shall be deemed a Lender party hereto for the purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Administrative Agent is acting, it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of such Affiliate under the Loan Document consist exclusively of such Affiliate’s right to share in payments and collections out of the guaranty as more fully set forth in Section 8.7. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due to any Lender or its Affiliate with respect to any Bank Product Liability unless such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it or its Affiliate prior to such distribution.

95

9.11 Lender Representation. Each Lender as of the Effective Date represents and warrants as of the Effective Date (or, if later, as of the date it becomes a Lender) to the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that (a) such Lender is not and will not be an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA or a plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code; (b) the assets of such Lender do not constitute “Plan Assets” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA, or (c) such Lender is not a “Governmental Plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA.

10.2 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative; Enforcement. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right remedy, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right remedy, power or privilege.

(i) Except as provided in Section 2.7, extend or increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article 4 or the waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

(ii) reduce the principal of, or rate of interest specified herein on, any Revolving Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letter), without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (provided (x) only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive the obligation of Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or to pay any late charge, and (y) Administrative Agent may make amendments to administratively or operationally implement a replacement Index Rate and make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant in Section 1.7 of this Agreement without further consent of the Lenders except as expressly required in Section 1.7);

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent that by its terms requires the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders, except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, or the maturity of any of its Loan may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of its Loans may not be reduced and the principal amount of any of its Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender).

99

10.3 Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(a) Releases. To release the Guaranty of any Loan Party (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (ii) with respect to any Loan Party that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted (or not prohibited) hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the Loan Document or other Loan Documents).

In each case as specified in this Section 10.3, the Administrative Agent shall, at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to release a Loan Party from its obligations under any Loan Document, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.3.

10.4 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including Borrower) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Revolving Loan or any Letter of Credit (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Substances on or from any property owned or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) result from a claim brought by Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) result from a claim not involving an act or omission of Borrower and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than against the arranger or the Administrative Agent in their capacities as such). This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

101

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 10.4(a) or (b) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Applicable Percentage at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than thirty (30) days after demand therefor.

10.5 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.5(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.5(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.5(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.5(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

102

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in Section 10.5(b)(i)(B) in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in Section 10.5(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the “Trade Date”) shall not be less than $10,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 10.5(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof and provided, further, that Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Loan; and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

103

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) Borrower or any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or (B) 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.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. 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 Administrative 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 Borrower and the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 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.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.5(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 10.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that 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. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.5(d).

104

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Phoenix, Arizona a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.5 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

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 to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; 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 Section 10.2(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) that affects such Participant. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.11(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11(g) 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 Section 10.5(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12 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 2.10 or 2.11, 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. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.12(b) with respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the

105

Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (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) to any Person 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) and Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) 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 pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

10.6 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower herein and in any Loan Document or other documents delivered in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant hereto or thereto shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and the making of the Revolving Loans hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Revolving Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 10.5, 10.16 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the payment in full of the Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

10.7 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract 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 4.1, 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 that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

106

(b) Electronic Execution. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Loan Document or any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures 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 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.

10.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provision shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.9 Right of Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable Law, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender to or for the credit or account of Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due; provided, however, that no Lender will exercise any right of setoff unless Administrative Agent consents to such exercise, or requires such exercise in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion and any Lender that exercises a right of setoff without such consent or requirement hereby agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and each other Lender for, from and against any loss, liability, claims, damages, costs and expenses arising from the exercise of such right of setoff.

10.10 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Arizona.

10.14 Public Information. Borrower hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. At the request of the Administrative Agent, Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the materials and information provided by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC,” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes of U.S. federal and state securities Laws (provided, however, that to the extent that such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be subject to Section 10.15); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information”.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (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

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.

The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent and each Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

10.17 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (1) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (2) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 and participations in L/C Disbursements and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(a) 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

111

(b) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (ii) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.18, or (iii) 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 L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

The Borrower 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 subject to Section 10.9, may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

10.18 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

10.19 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender has advised or is advising Borrower or any Subsidiary on other matters, (ii) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower and its Affiliates, on

112

the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; and (b) (i) the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders has any obligation to Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against any of the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

10.20 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that any rights and remedies of the parties with respect to the Lender if the Lender has failed to perform any of its obligations under the Loan Documents shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

113

(b) As used in this Section, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i) “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

(ii) “Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(A) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(B) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(C) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

(iii) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

(iv) “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

10.21 Keepwell. Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time any Guaranty, in each case, by any Specified Loan Party, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under its Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Section voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

10.22 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

114

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(c) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(d) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(e) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
