90 Hickory - Credit Agreement

respect to such Revolving Loan Lender’s participations in Revolving Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to 3.50% on the average daily amount of such Revolving Loan Lender’s participation in Revolving LC Outstandings (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations with respect to any Revolving Letter of Credit) during the quarterly period (or portion thereof) ending on such Quarterly Payment Date or on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, as applicable, and (ii) on each Quarterly Payment Date during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the applicable LC Facility Commitment Termination Date and on the LC Facility Commitment Termination Date, for the account of each LC Loan Lender, a fee with respect to such LC Loan Lender’s participations in LC Facility Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to 3.50% on the average daily amount of such LC Loan Lender’s participation in LC Facility Outstandings (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations with respect to any LC Facility Letter of Credit) during the quarterly period (or portion thereof) ending on such Quarterly Payment Date or on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, as applicable, such fees in each case being calculated on a year comprised of 360 days and payable quarterly in arrears.

(b)    The Borrower agrees to pay to each Revolving LC Issuer that has potential fronting exposure (if any) to any Revolving Loan Lender that is not such LC Issuer or an Affiliate of such LC Issuer, for its own account a fronting fee, at the rate as agreed between the Borrower and such LC Issuer, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Revolving LC Issuer in amounts and pursuant to terms to be separately agreed between the Borrower and such Revolving LC Issuer. The fronting fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date.

(c)    In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to each LC Issuer the customary issuance, drawing, presentation and amendment fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such LC Issuer as from time to time in effect with respect to such LC Issuer and notified to the Borrower in writing.

SECTION 3.3.4    Prepayment Premium. Concurrent with any prepayment or payment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 3.1.2, Section 3.1.3(b), Section 9.2or Section 9.3in addition to the payments of interest and principal made in connection therewith, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Term Loan Lender, a prepayment premium equal to the following (each, a “Prepayment Premium”):

(a)    if prepayment occurs before the first anniversary date of the Closing Date, two percent (2.00%) of the principal amount repaid;

(b)    if prepayment occurs on or after the first anniversary date of the Closing Date and before the second anniversary, one percent (1.00%) of the principal amount repaid; and

(c)    if prepayment occurs on or after the second anniversary date of the Closing Date, zero percent (0%) of the principal amount repaid.

It is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but

91 Hickory - Credit Agreement

not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Prepayment Premium that would have applied if, at the time of such acceleration, the Borrower had prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced any or all of the Term Loans as contemplated in Section 3.1.2(any such event, a “PrepaymentPremium Event”), will also be due and payable without any further action (including any notice requirements otherwise applicable to Prepayment Premium Events, if any) as though a Prepayment Premium Event had occurred and such Prepayment Premium shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Prepayment Premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Prepayment Premium shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS, OR MAY PROHIBIT, THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower (on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party) expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that each may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 3.3.4. The Borrower (on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party) expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium to the Term Loan Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to Term Loan Lenders to provide the Term Loan Commitments and make the Term Loans contemplated hereby. The Borrower acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each Term Loan Lender has the right to maintain its investment in the Term Loans free from repayment by the Borrower (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Prepayment Premium by the Borrower, in the event that the Term Loans are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

ARTICLE IV

CERTAIN TERM SOFR AND OTHER PROVISIONS33

SECTION 4.1    Inability to Determine Rates; SOFR Lending Unlawful.

(a)    Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 4.2if, as of any date, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or (ii) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any SOFR Loan, any

92 Hickory - Credit Agreement

request therefor or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.5. Subject to Section 4.6, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Adjusted Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

(b)    Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Adjusted Base Rate”, in each case until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Adjusted Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, which shall continue as Base Rate Loans in each case until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge rates based upon SOFR or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay

93 Hickory - Credit Agreement

accrued interest on the amount so prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.4.

SECTION 4.2    Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)    Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes (in consultation with the Borrower) from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 4.2(d)and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section4.2, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section4.2.

(d)    Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such

94 Hickory - Credit Agreement

Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” or any similar or analogous definition for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)    Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, (i) the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Adjusted Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Adjusted Base Rate.

SECTION 4.3    Increased Costs, etc. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and each LC Issuer for any increase in the cost to such Lender or such LC Issuer of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Credit Party (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) in respect of, such Credit Party’s Commitments and the making of Credit Extensions hereunder (including the making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make or continue) any Loans as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Loans into, SOFR Loans), or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase in after the Closing Date of, (a) the adoption of any law, rule, treaty or regulation by any Governmental Authority, (b) any change in law, rule, treaty or regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or (c) compliance by any Lender or LC Issuer with any written directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (which shall be deemed to include, for the avoidance of doubt, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any United States regulatory authority (i) under or in connection with the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented) (each, a “Change in Law”), that (A) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserves, (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory

95 Hickory - Credit Agreement

loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated by any Lender or LC Issuer, (B) subjects any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or any LC Issuer to any Taxes on its Loans, Loan principal, Letters of Credit, Commitments, or other obligations under the Loan Documents, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or (C) imposes on any Lender or any LC Issuer 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, other than, in the case of clause (B), (w) Non-Excluded Taxes, which are governed by Section 4.6, (x) to the extent not otherwise described in clause (w), Other Taxes, (y) Taxes that are described in clauses (b)through (d)of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (z) Connection Income Taxes. Each affected Credit Party shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, stating the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Credit Party for such increased cost or reduced amount.

A certificate of an officer of a Lender or an LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such LC Issuer as specified in this Section 4.3shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Promptly after any Lender or any LC Issuer has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 4.3, such Lender or such LC Issuer shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; providedthat the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or any LC Issuer pursuant to this Section 4.3for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided furtherthat, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof; provided furtherthat the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or any LC Issuer pursuant to this Section 4.3for any increased costs or reductions incurred as a result of any Change in Law unless such Lender or LC Issuer has also requested similar reimbursement from other similarly situated borrowers.

SECTION 4.4    Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make or continue any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a SOFR Loan) as a result of:

(a)    the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default);

96 Hickory - Credit Agreement

(b)    any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any SOFR Loan on a date other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Article IIIor otherwise;

(c)    any Loans not being made as SOFR Loans in accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor;

(d)    any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, SOFR Loans in accordance with the Continuation/Conversion Notice therefor;

(f)    the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.11.

but in each case other than due to such Lender’s failure to fulfil its obligations hereunder, then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall, within 10 days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

SECTION 4.5    Increased Capital Costs. If, after the Closing Date, any Change in Law affects or would affect the capital or liquidity requirements expected to be maintained by any Credit Party or any Person controlling such Credit Party, and such Credit Party determines (in good faith but in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of the Commitments or the Credit Extensions made, or the Revolving Letters of Credit participated in, by such Credit Party is reduced to a level below that which such Credit Party or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then upon notice from time to time by such Credit Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall within ten (10) days following receipt of such notice pay directly to such Credit Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Credit Party or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Credit Party as to any such additional amount or amounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount, such Credit Party may use any reasonable method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

A certificate of an officer of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in this Section 4.5shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 4.5, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s right to demand such

97 Hickory - Credit Agreement

compensation; providedthat the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.5for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; providedfurther that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 4.6    Taxes.

(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, except to the extent such deduction or withholding is required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower). In the event that any Taxes are required by law to be deducted or withheld from any payment required to be made by or on behalf of any Obligor to or on behalf of any Credit Party under any Loan Document, in each case, by any Obligor or the Administrative Agent, then:

(i)    if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount of such payment shall be increased as may be necessary so that the amount of such payment, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including such withholdings or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.6), is equal to the amount the applicable Credit Party would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made (and for the avoidance of doubt, it shall be the responsibility of the Borrower to pay such increased amounts); and

(ii)    the Borrower shall withhold the full amount of such Taxes from such payment (as increased pursuant to clause (a)(i), if applicable) and shall timely pay such amount to the Governmental Authority imposing such Taxes in accordance with applicable law.

(b)    The Borrower shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.

(c)    As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.6the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or 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. The Administrative Agent shall make copies thereof available to any Credit Party upon request therefor.

(d)    The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within 10 days after the date such Credit Party makes written demand therefor, for any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes (for the avoidance of doubt, in each case, including any penalties and interest) levied, imposed, assessed on or actually paid by or on behalf of such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment, or any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,

98 Hickory - Credit Agreement

whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Borrower acknowledges that any payment made to any Credit Party or to any Governmental Authority in respect of the indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided in this clause shall constitute a payment in respect of which the provisions of clause (a)and this clause shall apply. A certificate stating the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Credit Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)    Each Credit Party shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Credit Party (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Credit Party’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.11(e)relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Credit Party, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to an Agent, 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 Credit Party by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Credit Party 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 clause (e).

(f)    (i) Each Credit Party shall deliver documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as will enable the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to determine whether or not and to what extent such Credit Party is subject to withholding, backup withholding or information reporting requirements; providedthat, except in the case of the documentation set forth in Section 4.6(f)(i)(A)through 4.6(f)(i)(D), 4.6(f)(ii)and 4.6(h)below, no Credit Party shall be required to complete, execute or submit any documentation if in the Credit Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Credit Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Credit Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Non-Domestic Credit Party that is entitled to an exemption from U.S. withholding Tax, or is subject to such Tax at a reduced rate under an applicable Tax treaty, on or prior to the date on which such Non-Domestic Credit Party becomes a Credit Party hereunder, and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, but, in each case, only if and for so long as such Non-Domestic Credit Party is legally entitled to do so, shall deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent whichever of the following is applicable:

completed and duly executed, of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any applicable successor form) establishing that such Credit Party is not subject to backup withholding tax.

(iii)    On or prior to the date Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time but no more than once annually thereafter upon the request of the Borrower), if Administrative Agent (including any successor Administrative Agent) is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, it shall deliver to the Borrower properly completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf) and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (for all other payments) certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of other Credit Parties are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to such payments, with the effect that the Group Companies will be entitled to make payments hereunder to the Administrative Agent without withholding or deduction on account of any U.S. federal Taxes. If the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, it shall deliver to Borrower an executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 setting forth an exemption from backup withholding.

In addition, each Credit Party shall promptly deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, inaccuracy or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Credit Party. Each Credit Party shall promptly notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer legally able to provide any previously delivered form or certificate to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

(g)    If any Credit Party determines, in good faith, that it has received a refund of or with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.6, it shall pay to the Borrower as soon as practical thereafter an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 4.6with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party and without interest (other than any interest paid or credited by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); providedthat the Borrower, upon the request of such Credit Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any interest, penalties or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Credit Party in the event such Credit Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority; provided, further, that a Credit Party shall not be obligated to pay any amount of such refund pursuant to this clause (g)to the extent such payment would place the Credit Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Credit Party would have been if the Tax subject to indemnification or with respect to which additional amounts were paid and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This clause(g)shall not be construed to require any Credit Party to make available its tax returns (or any

101 Hickory - Credit Agreement

other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h)    If a payment made to a Credit Party under any Loan Document would be subject to Tax imposed by FATCA if such Credit Party 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 Credit Party shall deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Credit Party has complied with such Credit Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(i)    For purposes of this Section 4.6, the terms “law” and “applicable law” include FATCA. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.6shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Credit Party, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. The requirements of the Borrower to make any gross- up or indemnity payment under this Section 4.6shall also apply to Subsidiary Guarantors mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 4.7    Payments, Computations, etc.

(a)    Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to each Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of the Credit Parties entitled to receive such payment. All payments shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due in same day or immediately available funds to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time may be deemed, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in same day funds to each Credit Party its share, if any, of such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Credit Party. All interest (including interest on SOFR Loans) and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days (or, in the case of interest on a Base Rate Loan calculated at other than the Federal Funds Effective Rate, 365 days or, if appropriate, 366 days). Except as otherwise set forth herein, payments due on a day other than a Business Day shall be made on the preceding Business Day. Except as otherwise set forth in any Loan Document, following an Event of Default, all payments made under any Loan Document (and allocable to the Credit Parties in accordance with the terms of the Loan

102 Hickory - Credit Agreement

Documents) shall be applied upon receipt (a) first, to the payment of all Obligations (including, without limtiation, any fees, costs, indemnities, charges or expenses) owing to any Agent, in their respective capacity as such, but not as a Lender (including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Agents); (b) second, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clause (a), to the payment of interest and fees on any portion (without duplication) of (i) Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower and (ii) payments that the Administrative Agent may have advanced to the Credit Parties in accordance with this Section4.7for which the Administrative Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower or the Credit Parties; (c) third, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (a)and (b), to the ratable payment of interest and fees on any portion (without duplication) of the Loans and the Letters of Credit then outstanding, Reimbursement Obligations then owing and ordinary course settlement payments payable under any Secured Swap Contract; (d) fourth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (a)through (c), to the ratable payment of the principal amount of each of the Loans then outstanding and Reimbursement Obligations then owing and amounts required for purposes of Cash Collateralization for contingent liabilities under LC Outstandings, any termination payments under any Secured Swap Contracts and all other costs and expenses owing to the Lenders and Permitted Swap Counterparties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (e) fifth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (a)through (d), to the ratable payment of all other Obligations owing to the Credit Parties; and (f) sixth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (a)through (e), to the Borrower, or the Borrower’s successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.

(b)    In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

SECTION 4.8    Sharing of Payments. If any Credit Party shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Credit Extension or Reimbursement Obligation (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5or 4.6) in excess of its pro rata share of payments obtained by all Credit Parties, such Credit Party shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such payment or recovery and shall thereafter as soon as practicable purchase from the other Credit Parties such participations in Credit Extensions made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Credit Party to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably (to the extent such other Credit Parties were entitled to receive a portion of such payment or recovery) with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Credit Party, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Credit Party which has sold a participation to the purchasing Credit Party shall repay to the purchasing

103 Hickory - Credit Agreement

Credit Party the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Credit Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such selling Credit Party’s required repayment to the purchasing Credit Party to (b) total amount so recovered from the purchasing Credit Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Credit Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Credit Party purchasing a participation from another Credit Party pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 4.9) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Credit Party were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation; providedthat the Borrower shall have no liability to the Lenders hereunder to the extent that it has made all payments to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent required to be made by the Borrower hereunder. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law any Credit Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Credit Party shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Credit Parties entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. The provisions of this Section 4.8shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by 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) or (b) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it.

SECTION 4.9    Setoff. Each Credit Party shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default described in Sections 9.1.9(a)through (d)or, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) the Borrower hereby grants to each Credit Party a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts (other than any trust accounts comprised entirely of moneys held in trust for the benefit of Persons other than the Borrower or their Affiliates) or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Credit Party (other than any Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts subject to a Control Agreement); provided, however, that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8. Each Credit Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Credit Party; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Credit Party and its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Credit Party may have; providedthat, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.12and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

104 Hickory - Credit Agreement

SECTION 4.10    Central Lending Office. Each Credit Party agrees that if it makes any demand for payment under Section 4.3, 4.5or 4.6, or if any adoption or change of the type described in Section 4.1shall occur with respect to it, it will, if requested by the Borrower, file a certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower and/or use reasonable efforts (in either case, consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, as determined in its sole discretion) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if the filing of such certificate or document or the making of such a designation would reduce or obviate the need for the Borrower to make payments under Section 4.3, 4.5or 4.6, or would eliminate or materially reduce the effect of any adoption or change described in Section 4.1; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Credit Party provided in Section 4.1, 4.3, 4.5or 4.6.

SECTION 4.11    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”): (a) fails to consent to an election, consent, amendment, waiver or other modification to this Agreement or other Loan Document that requires the consent of all Lenders and such election, consent, amendment, waiver or other modification is otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders, (b) makes a demand upon the Borrower for (or if the Borrower is otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 4.3, 4.5or 4.6(and the payment of such amounts are, and are likely to continue to be, more onerous in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower than with respect to the other Lenders), or gives notice pursuant to Section 4.1requiring a conversion of such Affected Lender’s SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans or suspending such Lender’s obligation to make Loans as, or to convert Loans into, SOFR Loans, or (c) shall become and continues to be a Defaulting Lender and shall have failed to cease being a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section4.12(b)within five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s request therefor; the Borrower may (in the case of clause (a)only, within 30 days of such consent of Required Lenders, or in the case of clauses (b)or (c)at any time) give notice (a “Replacement Notice”) in writing to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to cause such Affected Lender to sell all or any portion of its Loans, and/or Commitments to another financial institution or other Person in accordance with Section 11.11(a “Replacement Lender”) designated in such Replacement Notice; provided, however, that no Replacement Notice may be given by the Borrower if (i) such replacement conflicts with any applicable law or regulation, (ii) any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement in connection with clause (b)above, such Lender shall have taken any necessary action under Section 4.5or 4.6(if applicable) so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.5or 4.6or (iv) prior to any such replacement in connection with clause (c)above, such Lender shall have taken any necessary action under Section 4.12(b)to cease being a Defaulting Lender. If the Administrative Agent shall within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such Replacement Notice (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Borrower in writing), notify the Borrower and such Affected Lender in writing that the Replacement Lender is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such consent not being required where the Replacement Lender is already a Lender), then such Affected Lender shall, subject to the payment of any amounts due pursuant to Section 4.4, assign, in accordance with Section 11.11, the portion of its Commitments and/or Loans, and other rights and

105 Hickory - Credit Agreement

obligations under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents (including Reimbursement Obligations, if applicable) designated in the Replacement Notice to such Replacement Lender; provided, however, that (A) such assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.11) and shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such Affected Lender and such Replacement Lender, (B) the purchase price paid by such replacement Lender shall be an amount equal to the sum of (w) the amount (at par) of such Affected Lender’s Loans designated in the Replacement Notice, plus (x) such Affected Lender’s Percentage of all unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations (at par), plus (y) all accrued and unpaid interest and fees in respect thereof and ordinary course settlement payments resulting from the termination by such Affected Lender (or its Affiliate) of any Secured Swap Contract that may be in place as between such Affected Lender (or its Affiliate) and the Borrower as of the date of such replacement, plus (z) all other amounts (including the amounts demanded and unreimbursed under Sections 4.3, 4.5and 4.6), owing to such Affected Lender hereunder, (C) in the case of an assignment and assumption from an event as described in clause (a)of the first sentence of this Section, the Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to such event, and (D) the Borrower shall pay to the Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees of one counsel to the Lenders and one additional counsel, who may be retained by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment and assumption (including the processing fees described in Section 11.11). Upon the effective date of an assignment described above, the Replacement Lender shall become a “Lender” for all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any assignment agreement necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 4.12    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)    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, pursuant to Article VIIor otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.9 shall be applied 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 any LC Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure (if any) with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 4.12(d); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and

106 Hickory - Credit Agreement

be continuing), to the funding of any 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 Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize any LC Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure (if any) with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 4.12(d); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or any LC Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any LC Issuer 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 shall have occurred and be continuing, 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 Loans or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2were satisfied and waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and LC Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable LC Loan Commitments without giving effect to Section 4.12(a)(iii). 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 4.12(a)(i)shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(ii)    Certain Fees.

(A)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 3.3.1or 3.3.3(a)for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender; providedsuch Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees pursuant to Section 3.3.1or 3.3.3(a)for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to its Revolving Loan Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 4.12(d).

(B)    With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A)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

(iii)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and LC Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders (if any) of the applicable LC Tranche in accordance with their respective LC Percentage (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Loan Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LC Loans of such Non-Defaulting Lender under the applicable LC Tranche, together with such Lender’s LC Percentage of the aggregate amount of all LC Outstandings to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s LC Loan Commitment for such LC Tranche. Subject to Section 11.23, 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.

(iv)    Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iii)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 each LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure (other than the Fronting Exposure of any LC Issuer that is the Defaulting Lender or its Affiliate) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section4.12(d).

(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Revolving LC Issuer and each LC Facility Issuer (in each case, if such LC Issuer issue Letters of Credit on behalf of such Defaulting Lender) and each other Revolving Loan Lender or LC Facility Lender, as applicable 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments (without giving effect to Section 4.12(a)(iii)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; providedthat no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the 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

108 Hickory - Credit Agreement

Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)    New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no LC Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the participations in any existing Letters of Credit as well as the new, extended, renewed or increased Letter of Credit has been fully allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (a)(iii)above and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein except to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s participation has been or will be fully Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 4.12(d).

(d)    Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or an LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize each LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure (other than the Fronting Exposure of any LC Issuer that is the Defaulting Lender or its Affiliate) with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 4.12(a)(iii)and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).

(i)    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 applicable LC Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii)below. 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 an LC Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than 102% of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, 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).

(ii)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 4.12in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (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.

(iii)    Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the applicable LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.12following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; providedthat, subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.12, the Person

109 Hickory - Credit Agreement

providing Cash Collateral and the applicable LC Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; provided furtherthat 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.

ARTICLE X

THE AGENTS

SECTION 10.1    Actions, Appointment; Powers and Duties. Each Lender and each LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to act as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is party to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents together with such other actions and powers as are reasonably incidental hereto. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each of the other Secured Parties (as defined below) hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into each Loan Document to which it is party and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are specifically delegated to such Collateral Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such other actions and powers are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article X(other than Section 10.3and Section 10.14) are solely for the benefit of the Agents and

162 Hickory - Credit Agreement

the other Credit Parties, and no Obligor shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof.

Without limiting the obligations (including, but not limited to, the Obligations) of the Borrower hereunder, to the extent the Borrower does not otherwise indemnify any Agent and each of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, controlling persons, trustees, employees, agents and advisors (collectively, the “Agent Indemnitees”) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, each Lender and each LC Issuer agrees to indemnify (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement, the payment of the Loans and the cancellation or expiration of the Commitments or the earlier resignation or removal of such Agent) the Agent Indemnitees, pro rata according to such Lender’s and each LC Issuer’s proportionate Total Exposure Amount, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Agent Indemnitees in any way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, including but not limited to any Letter of Credit, or Loan or the use of proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as an Agent Indemnitee; provided, however, that no Lender or LC Issuer shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) to the extent they are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision to have resulted solely from the Agent Indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent Indemnitees shall be fully justified in refusing to take or to continue to take any action under any Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of any Loan Document, unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Borrower or the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent Indemnitees promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by an Agent Indemnitee in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Operative Documents, to the extent that such Agent Indemnitee is not reimbursed promptly for such expenses by the Borrower.

In addition to the foregoing, if applicable following receipt of a written notice thereof by the Collateral Agent, each Lender hereby agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, in accordance with such Lender’s proportionate share of the Commitments, such funds as are necessary in order for the Collateral Agent to make the payments required to be made to any account bank pursuant to any Accounts Agreement, including without limitation, as a result of any indemnification by the Collateral Agent and/or the return of any check, money order, wire transfer, note, draft, other order for payment of money, other remittance or other adjustment as required by the applicable

163 Hickory - Credit Agreement

account bank pursuant to the terms of the applicable Accounts Agreement, within any period required under any applicable account control agreement or similar agreement executed by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders (an “Accounts Agreement”) following receipt of a written notice thereof by the Collateral Agent, such funds as are necessary in order for the Collateral Agent to make the payments required to be made to any account bank pursuant to any Accounts Agreement, including without limitation, as a result of any indemnification by the Collateral Agent and/or the return of any check, money order, wire transfer, note, draft, other order for payment of money, other remittance or other adjustment as required by the applicable account bank pursuant to the terms of the applicable Accounts Agreement; provided, that no such payment shall be required to the extent that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment that the Collateral Agent’s obligation to make the applicable payment to such account bank has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent.

The provisions of this Section 10.1shall survive the resignation, removal and/or replacement of the any Agent or Depositary, any assignment of rights by, the removal, or the replacement of, a Credit Party, the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

SECTION 10.2    Exculpation; Notice of Default. Neither any Agent nor any LC Issuer or Lender nor any of their respective directors, officers, partners, employees or agents shall be liable to any Credit Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under any Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), nor responsible for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or therein or in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to any Credit Party or by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Agent or any other Credit Party in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of the Borrower or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor for the effectiveness, enforceability, validity, execution, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Loan Document, nor for the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any Collateral, nor to ascertain or make any inquiry respecting the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions or as to the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. If the Administrative Agent or any other Agent shall request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act), consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the such Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by such Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action

164 Hickory - Credit Agreement

unless and until such Agent shall have received written instructions, advice or concurrence from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document); and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any consent or direction of the Required Lenders is required pursuant to the Loan Documents, such consent or direction may be given to the Administrative Agent by electronic communication (and without any requirement to provide a signature in connection therewith). Any such inquiry which may be made by any Agent shall not obligate it to make any further inquiry or to take any action. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may refrain from taking any action in any jurisdiction if, in its opinion, the taking of such action in that jurisdiction would be contrary to any law of that jurisdiction or of the State of New York, it would otherwise render it liable to any Person in that jurisdiction or the State of New York, the taking of such action would require it to obtain any license or otherwise qualify to do business or subject it to taxation in such jurisdiction, it would not have the power or authority to take such action in such jurisdiction by virtue of any law in that jurisdiction or in the State of New York, or it is determined by any court or other competent authority in that jurisdiction or in the State of New York that it does not have such power or authority. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall receive direction from the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders.

(b)    Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of such Agent, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, was grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct.

(c)    Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof and as otherwise specifically set forth herein, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any of the Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of, or priority or validity of any security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

(d)    No Agent shall be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including strikes, work stoppages, accidents, civil or military disturbances, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, epidemics, pandemics and interruptions, or loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank write or facsimile or other wire or communication facility.

165 Hickory - Credit Agreement

(e)    No Agent shall be under any obligation to effect or maintain insurance or to renew any policies of insurance or to inquire as to the sufficiency of any policies of insurance carried by the Borrower or any other Group Company, or to report, or make or file claims or proof of loss for, any loss or damage insured against or that may occur, or to keep itself informed or advised as to the payment of any taxes or assessments, or to require any such payment to be made.

(f)    In the event that any Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Agent’s sole discretion may cause such Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions CERCLA or otherwise incur or cause the Agent to incur liability under CERCLA or any other applicable federal, state or local environmental law, such Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as Agent hereunder or arrange for the transfer of title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver.

(g)    No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent set forth in any Loan Documents, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. For the purpose of determining satisfaction with the conditions precedent specified in Article V the Agents may conclusively assume that each Lender and each LC Issuer, that has signed and delivered this Agreement or funded an applicable Loan or issued, extended, renewed or increased any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have accepted, and to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required under Article V unless the Administrative Agent shall have received, and with respect to each other Agent, notified such Agent of receipt, written notice from such Lender or LC Issuer prior to the date of this Agreement or the funding of the applicable Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, as applicable, specifying its objection thereto.

(h)    No Agent shall, 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 the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(i)    In no event shall an Agent be required to expend, advance or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, or take any action that may expose it to undue risk in the performance of its duties under the Loan Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers thereunder for which adequate security or indemnity has not been provided to it.

(j)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default, each Agent shall, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, take such enforcement action with respect to such Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders, either directly or through the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, in the absence of such direction, the Agents may (but shall not be obligated to), take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default as it shall

166 Hickory - Credit Agreement

deem advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders and LC Issuers and solely to the extent permitted hereunder or pursuant to the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent (acting in its capacity as such and not in any other capacity) shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent shall have received a written notice from any LC Issuer, a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” (each such notice, a “DefaultNotice”) and no other Agent (acting in its capacity as such Agent hereunder and not in any other capacity) shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default unless such Agent shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent of receipt of the Default Notice. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Lenders, the LC Issuers and each other Secured Party. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a direction by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent to seek to enforce the Security Documents and to realize upon the Collateral in accordance with such direction; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to follow any direction by Required Lenders if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that such direction is in conflict with any provisions of any applicable law or any Loan Document, and the Administrative Agent shall not, under any circumstances, be liable to any Lenders, LC Issuers, the Borrower or any other person or entity for following the direction of the Required Lenders. At all times, if the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders advises the Lenders that it wishes to proceed in good faith with respect to any enforcement action, each of the Lenders will cooperate in good faith with respect to such enforcement action and will not unreasonably delay the enforcement of the Loan Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default unless an Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent with responsibility for administering this transaction has received written notice from an authorized officer of a Secured Party or an Obligor referring to this Agreement and the applicable document or documents governing such Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default, describing such event and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”, “Notice of Event of Default” or “Notice of Trigger Event”. In the event that the Collateral Agent receives such a written notice, the Collateral Agent shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent.

(k)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrower (for itself and on behalf of each other Loan Party), each Lender and each LC Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Lender or potential Lender or other Person is a Disqualified Institution, or to police or control any assignments to Disqualified Institution, and that no Agent shall have any liability with respect to the foregoing or any assignment or participation made to a Disqualified Institution. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution. Upon the request of any Lender therefor, the Administrative

167 Hickory - Credit Agreement

Agent shall make available to such Lender the list of Disqualified Institutions to the extent such list was furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

SECTION 10.3    Successor. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as such at any time upon written notice to the Borrower, the Lenders and the LC Issuers. If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time shall resign, the resigning Administrative Agent or the resigning Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall have the right to appoint another Lender or other financial institution as a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, which shall thereupon become the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder, with the consent of the Borrower (other than following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, such resignation to be effective on the earliest of (a) 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation (regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or not), (b) the acceptance of the relevant successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the Borrower and the Required Lenders and (c) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Required Lenders and, other than following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon any such notice of resignation, if a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, has not already been appointed by the resigning Administrative Agent or resigning Collateral Agent, as applicable, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (other than following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any state thereof) or a U.S. branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; providedthat, if neither the resigning Administrative Agent or the resigning Collateral Agent, as applicable, nor the Required Lenders have appointed a successor Administrative Agent or a successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, the retiring Administrative Agent’s or the retiring Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to, assumed and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent or the resigning Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor as provided for above. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days, then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the date that is 60 days after receipt of the notice. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, such successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or retiring or removed

168 Hickory - Credit Agreement

Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or the retiring or removed Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, only under the Loan Documents except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s or the retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, become effective, the provisions of this Article X and all rights of the retiring Agent to indemnification by the Borrower and Lenders shall continue to inure to its benefit and for the benefit of its respective Agent Indemnitees in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent or retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

Any entity into which the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidations which such Agent shall be party, or any corporation to which substantially all of the corporate trust or agency business of such Agent, shall be the successor Agent hereunder; providedthat such corporation shall be eligible under this Article to act as a successor Agent, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

(c)    Each Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the

(f)    The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender, LC Issuer or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; providedthat this Section 10.14shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x)and (y)shall not apply to the extent any 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 for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(g)    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, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(h)    Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.14shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or LC Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(A)    the aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Lender Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (or a lesser amount if such amount, when added to the aggregate amount of Commitments, Loans being assigned substantially concurrently with such assignment to Affiliates of such Eligible Assignee or Approved Funds that are

189 Hickory - Credit Agreement

administered or managed by such Eligible Assignee or an Affiliate of such Eligible Assignee, equal or exceeds $1,000,000), unless (1) the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (2) such assignment is an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans at the time owing to it, or (3) such assignment is an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(B)    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 Loans and/or the Commitments assigned, except that this clause (B)shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate tranches on a non-pro rata basis;

(C)    the parties to each assignment shall (1) electronically execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which initially shall be Docusign) or (2) manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement, together, with respect to such manual transfer only, with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, which the Administrative Agent may at any time waive (providedthat only one such fee shall be payable with respect to simultaneous assignments by or to one or more Approved Funds that are administered or maintained by the same Person or by Persons who are Affiliates of each other), and if the Eligible Assignee is not a Lender, administrative details information with respect to such Eligible Assignee, including an Administrative Questionnaire, and any other documents reaosnably requested by the Administrative Agent, including applicable tax forms; and

(D)    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 Administrative Agent, the applicable Percentage 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, the LC Issuers and each Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Percentage of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its applicable LC Percentage thereof. 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

190 Hickory - Credit Agreement

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 Section 4.12, except to the extent expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of any claims of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of any applicable non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such assignment.

(b)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Lender Assignment Agreement, (i) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement, subject to Section 11.5, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Assignment Agreement 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 any provisions of this Agreement which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with clauses (a)and (b) of this Section 11.11shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section11.11(e).

(c)    The Administrative Agent shall record each assignment made in accordance with this Section in the Register pursuant to Section 2.7(b). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)    Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities, other than Affiliates of the Borrower that are not Affiliated Debt Funds (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 Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); providedthat (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) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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; providedthat such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any of the items set forth in Sections11.1(a)through (d), in each case except as otherwise specifically provided in a Loan Document. Subject to clause (e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 7.1, 11.3and 11.4to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had

191 Hickory - Credit Agreement

acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.9as though it were a Lender, providedsuch Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.8as though it were a Lender.

(e)    Each Lender that sells an interest in any Loan, Commitment or other interest to a Participant shall, as non-fiduciary agent for the Borrower solely for the purpose of this Section11.11, record in book entries maintained by such Credit Party the name and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the participating interest of each Participant entitled to receive payments in respect of such interest (the “Participant Register”); providedthat 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) of the United States Treasury Regulations Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or, in each case, any amended or successor version) and Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(f)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 11.3and 11.4than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquires the participation. In addition, if at the time of the sale of such participation, any greater Taxes subject to payment under Section 4.6would apply to the Participant than applied to the applicable Lender, then such Participant shall not be entitled to any payment under Section 4.6with respect to the portion of such Taxes as exceeds the Taxes applicable to the Lender at the time of the sale of the participation.

(g)    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 or such central bank having supervisory jurisdiction over such Lender; providedthat no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 11.12    Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by the Loan Documents, with the Obligors or any of their respective Affiliates in which such Obligor or such Affiliate is not restricted by the Loan Documents from engaging with any other Person.

SECTION 11.13    Independence of Covenants and Default Provisions. All covenants and default provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be given independent effect such that, in the event a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants or default provisions, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant or default provision shall not, unless

192 Hickory - Credit Agreement

expressly so provided in such first covenant or default provision, avoid the occurrence of a Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.

SECTION 11.14    Confidentiality.

(a)    Subject to the provisions of clause (b)of this Section, each Credit Party that is a party hereto agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its Affiliates, directors, employees, auditors, advisors, trustees, counsel or out-sourced service providers that perform administrative or operational monitoring or to another Credit Party if such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding or parent company in its reasonable discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, providedsuch Credit Party shall cause such Persons to comply with this Section 11.14) any non-public information related to the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses and to any Project (other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or such information received from the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof and that is not clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential) which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, providedthat any Credit Party may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this clause by the respective Credit Party or any other Person to whom such Credit Party has provided such information as permitted by this Section, (ii) as may be required or requested in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Credit Party or to the Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or requested in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation relating to its rights under any Loan Document, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Credit Party, (v) to the Administrative Agent or any LC Issuer, (vi) to any pledgee referred to in Section 11.11(g)or any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes, Loans or Commitments or any interest therein by such Credit Party, providedthat such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in, or provisions no less restrictive than, this Section, (vii) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of, or provisions no less restrictive than, this Section), including the Permitted Swap Counterparties, (viii) to any insurer or any credit risk support provider (so long as such insurer or credit risk support provider agrees to be bound by the provisions of, or provisions no less restrictive than, this Section) and (ix) to the NAIC or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Credit Party’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Credit Party, provided further, no such disclosure shall be made to any Disqualified Institution.

SECTION 11.15    Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, ANY LC ISSUER, AND THE LOAN PARTIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE COURTS OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN (INCLUDING ANY APPELLATE COURT THEREOF); PROVIDEDTHAT, ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SPECIFIED IN SECTION 11.2OR TO ITS AGENT DESIGNATED FOR SUCH PURPOSE. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE

194 Hickory - Credit Agreement

FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PARTY HERETO HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

SECTION 11.16    Waiver of Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER, EACH LC ISSUER, AND THE BORROWER (FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF THE LOAN PARTIES) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, EACH LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, SUCH LENDER, SUCH LC ISSUER, OR SUCH LOAN PARTY IN CONNECTION THEREWITH (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER, EACH LC ISSUER, AND THE BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH LC ISSUER ENTERING INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

SECTION 11.17    Counsel Representation. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY COMPETENT COUNSEL IN THE NEGOTIATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT ANY RULE OR CONSTRUCTION OF LAW ENABLING ANY PARTY TO ASSERT THAT ANY AMBIGUITIES OR INCONSISTENCIES IN THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHOULD DIMINISH ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES OF THE OTHER PARTY ARE HEREBY WAIVED.

SECTION 11.18    PATRIOT Act. In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including, without limitation, those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of the United States (“Applicable AML Law”) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and each Lender that is subject to the

195 Hickory - Credit Agreement

requirements of the PATRIOT Act, are required to obtain, verify and record and update certain information to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each such Lender. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each such Lender, upon their reasonable request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Administrative Agent, the Collateral and each such Lender to comply with Applicable AML Law.

SECTION 11.19    Swap Counterparties. To the extent legally permissible to do so, each applicable Lender hereby agrees on behalf of itself or its Affiliate in its capacity as a counterparty to a Secured Swap Contract that such Lender (or Affiliate) in such capacity (a) shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement for the limited purposes of (i) acknowledging that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are entitled to all of the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits provided to them under this Agreement and the Security Documents, including their rights to be indemnified in connection with any matter related to the Secured Swap Contract and (ii) acknowledging the provisions set forth in Section 11.1(Waivers, Amendments, etc.), and (b) shall have the rights afforded to Secured Parties under the Loan Documents, subject to the terms thereof.

SECTION 11.20    Scope of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document, certificate or instrument executed by any Obligor pursuant hereto or thereto, none of the Credit Parties shall have any claims with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents against the Sponsors or any other past, present or future holder (whether direct or indirect) of any equity interests in the Pledgor and its respective Affiliates (other than the Obligors), shareholders, officers, directors, employees’ representatives, Controlling persons, executives or agents (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Persons”), such claims against such Non-Recourse Persons (including as may arise by operation of law) being expressly waived hereby; providedthat the foregoing provision of this Section 11.20 shall not (a) constitute a waiver, release or discharge (or otherwise impair the enforceability) of any of the Obligations, or of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the same shall continue (but without personal liability to the Non-Recourse Persons) until fully paid, discharged, observed or performed; (b) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created pursuant to the Security Documents (or otherwise impair the ability of any Credit Party to realize or foreclose upon any Collateral); (c) limit or restrict the right of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party (or any assignee, beneficiary or successor to any of them) to name the Pledgor, the Borrower or any other Person as a defendant in any action or suit for a judicial foreclosure or for the exercise of any other remedy under or with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for injunction or specific performance, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment shall be enforced against any Non-Recourse Person, except as set forth in this Section 11.20; (d) in any way limit or restrict any right or remedy of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party (or any assignee or beneficiary thereof or successor thereto) with respect to, and each of the Non-Recourse Persons shall remain fully liable to the extent that it would otherwise be liable for its own actions with respect to, any fraud (which shall not include

196 Hickory - Credit Agreement

innocent or negligent misrepresentation) or willful misconduct; or (e) affect or diminish or constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any specific written obligation, covenant or agreement made by any of the Non-Recourse Persons (or any security granted by the Non-Recourse Persons in support of the obligations of any Person) under or in connection with any Loan Document (or as security for the Obligations). The limitations on recourse set forth in this Section 11.20shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination of all Commitments and the Secured Swap Contracts to which any Credit Party is a party and the full payment and performance of the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 11.21    Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

SECTION 11.22    No Fiduciary Obligation. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that each of the Credit Parties and any arrangers or bookrunners named herein (collectively, together with the Affiliates of each of the foregoing, the “Lender Group”) is acting solely as lender, agent, bookrunner or arranger, as applicable, in connection with the Transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (without limiting the provisions of Section 10.10). The Borrower further acknowledges that each member of the Lender Group is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by the Loan Documents entered into on an arm’s length basis and in no event do the parties intend that any Lender Group member act or be responsible as a fiduciary or advisor to the Borrower or its Affiliates in connection with any activity that any Lender Group member may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the Transactions, either before, on or after the Closing Date. Each Lender Group member hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary or similar obligations to any such Person, either in connection with the Transactions or any matters leading up to the Transactions, and the Borrower hereby expressly confirms its understanding and agreement to that effect. The parties hereto agree that each Person party hereto is responsible for making its own independent judgments with respect to the Transactions, and that any opinions or views expressed by any Lender Group member to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates regarding the Transactions, including but not limited to any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Transactions, do not constitute advice or recommendations to the Borrower or such Affiliate. The Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that any such Person may have against any Lender Group member with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty in connection with the Transactions or any matters leading up to the execution of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 11.23    Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected FinancialInstitutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto

197 Hickory - Credit Agreement

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 which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

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

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

(ii)    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

(iii)    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.

SECTION 11.24    Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent is entitled to all rights, privileges, protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities provided to such Person under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Lender and LC Issuer (and each Person that becomes a Lender and LC Issuer pursuant to Section 11.11) hereby (a) authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party on behalf of such Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable, (b) consents to and ratifies the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which the Collateral Agent is a party and (c) agrees that the Collateral Agent may take such actions on behalf of such Lender or LC Issuer as are contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to establish or maintain perfection of the Lien (including the filing of any financing statements) granted in its favor hereunder or preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

SECTION 11.25    Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC CreditSupport”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 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 paragraph 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):

198 Hickory - Credit Agreement

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.

SECTION 11.26    ERISA Matters.

(a)    Each Lender and LC Issuer (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)    such Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable, is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement;

(ii)    the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84- 14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91- 38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96- 23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Credit Party’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

(iii)    (A) such Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable, is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84- 14), such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Credit Party to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (B) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (C) to the best knowledge of such Credit Party,

199 Hickory - Credit Agreement

the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Credit Party’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement.

(b)    In addition, unless sub-paragraph (a)(i)is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that none of the Administrative Agent nor its Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).
