Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 18, 2015, Tamar Royalties LLC (“Tamar Royalties”), a newly formed, wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of Isramco, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Facility”) with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“Deutsche Bank”), as facility agent for the lenders and as collateral agent for the secured parties, and with the lenders party thereto. The Facility provides for borrowings in the amount of $120,000,000 USD on a committed basis and is secured by, among other things, an overriding royalty interest in the Tamar Field, a natural gas field in the Mediterranean Sea, equal to 1.5375%, but is subject to increase to 2.7375% upon the Tamar project payout (the “Royalty Interest”).

In connection with the Facility, and pursuant to a royalties sale and contribution agreement, the Company contributed the Royalty Interest to Tamar Royalties in exchange for all of the ownership units of Tamar Royalties. Pursuant to the terms of its governing documents, Tamar Royalties will be managed by N.M.A. Energy Resources Ltd, a related party of the Company, and an independent manager, Donald J. Puglisi.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Facility and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Exhibits hereto:

Tamar Royalties will borrow the entire $120,000,000 USD in its initial borrowing under the Facility. The initial borrowing under the Facility shall bear annual interest based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for a three-month interest period plus a spread of 2.75%. The $120,000,000 initial borrowing under the Facility will be repaid over eight (8) years commencing July 1, 2015, in accordance with an amortization profile based on projected cash flows from the Royalty Interest.

·	Tamar Royalties’s obligations under the Facility are secured by a first ranking pledge of the shares of Tamar Royalties, first ranking pledge of all rights under the agreements creating the Royalty Interest, and a first priority security interest over the accounts created under the Facility.

·	The obligations of Tamar Royalties under the Facility are non-recourse to the Company, and the Company’s exposure under the Facility is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Tamar Royalties, being the Royalty Interest.

·	After five (5) years, Tamar Royalties may prepay all or any part of borrowings owed under the Facility without penalty.

·	After three (3) years, Tamar Royalties may use the Royalty Interest as collateral for additional borrowings subject to certain terms and conditions in the Facility.

The Facility provides for certain requirements to be met within twenty (20) days of execution, including: (i) approval by the Israeli Petroleum Commissioner of the transfer of the Royalty Interest from Isramco, Inc. to Tamar Royalties and its registration of a security interest against the Royalty Interest; (ii) there are no events which violate the terms of the Facility; (iii) there are no material events adversely affecting the Collateral or the business of Tamar Royalties; and (iv) Tamar Royalties has completed its interest hedging requirements under the Facility, being the hedging of seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding balance against fluctuations in LIBOR.

So long as any amounts remain outstanding to the Lenders under the Facility, Tamar Royalties must, from and after the end of the Availability Period (as defined in the Facility), have a Historical Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Facility) of not less than 1.00:1.00 and a Loan Life Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Facility) of at least 1.1:1.00.

The occurrence of events defined in the Facility as “Retention Events” or “Early Amortization Events” trigger certain rights of Deutsche Bank to: (i) upon occurrence of a Retention Event, direct proceeds from the Royalty Interest to the reserve account created under the facility; (ii) upon occurrence of an Early Amortization Event, direct proceeds from the Royalty Interest from the reserve account to pay funds in the manner specified for the repayment of loans under the Facility.

Under the Facility, Tamar Royalties has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. The Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, inter alia: (a) the failure to make payment of principal or interest when due or any other payments under the Facility within two business days of when due; (b) the insolvency or bankruptcy of Tamar Royalties or Isramco Negev 2 Limited Partnership; (c) a change of control of Tamar Royalties shall have occurred; and (d) the breach by Tamar Royalties of the terms of other credit documents executed pursuant to the Facility. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, Deutsche Bank may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Facility immediately due and payable and/or apply, or direct the collateral agent to apply to the Israeli Petroleum Commissioner and, if applicable, the Israeli courts for the appointment of a receiver to sell all or any part of the Collateral and use the proceeds thereof to repay the loans and obligations arising under the Facility.

·	Tamar Royalties incurred certain customary costs and expenses in connection with obtaining the Facility.

In connection with the Facility, described above, the Company and Tamar Royalties have agreed to enter into an Intercompany Loan Agreement dated May 18, 2015 (the “Intercompany Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Intercompany Loan Agreement, Tamar Royalties LLC will provide one or more loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $108,000,000 USD. The purpose of the Intercompany Loan is to repay indebtedness owed by the Company to related parties, to enable acquisitions and capital expenditures by the Company, and for other general corporate purposes of the Company. The material economic terms of each loan made pursuant to the Intercompany Loan Agreement will be identified in a confirmation between the Company and Tamar Royalties covering such loan(s).

In connection with the Intercompany Loan Agreement, the Company has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, and other customary requirements for similar loan agreements. The Intercompany Loan Agreement contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, inter alia: (a) the failure to make payment of principal or interest when due or any other payments under the Facility within five business days of when due; (b) the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company; (c) the Company’s consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to, a party failing to assume all the obligations of the Company or a resulting party that is materially weaker than the Company immediately prior to such action.

The foregoing descriptions of the Facility, the Intercompany Loan Agreement, and certain related agreements as set forth in this Item 1.01 are summaries only and are each qualified in all respects by the provisions of such agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.4 and are incorporated by reference herein.

ARTICLE 2

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE LOANS

Section 2.01 The Loans; Termination of Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees to make Loans of a Series to the Borrower in a single draw on the applicable Funding Date for such Series in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment for such Series. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Unless previously terminated, the Commitment of each Lender for a Series shall automatically be reduced to zero and terminate immediately following the making of the Loans for such Series hereunder on the Funding Date for such Series or, if the Loans of such Series shall not have been made by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the last Borrower Business Day of the Availability Period for such Series, at such time.

(c) Each Loan hereunder shall be made as part of a Series consisting of Loans with the same interest rate and Maturity Date, and shall be made by the Lenders with Commitments in respect of such Series ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments for such Series.

Section 2.02 Making the Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall request Loans of a Series by delivering, by hand or facsimile, a written request containing the information required in this clause (a) and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Notice of Borrowing”), duly executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the Facility Agent by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Borrower Business Day prior to the requested date of such Loans (the date of delivery of such Notice of Borrowing, the “Notice Date”), and the Facility Agent shall give each applicable Lender prompt notice thereof by facsimile or other electronic means. A Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the Series of the Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Loans, which date shall be a Borrower Business Day occurring during the Availability Period for such Series (the "Funding Date"), (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans, which amount shall be in a minimum amount of $75,000,000, (iv) the amount of the Required Reserve Amount, (v) the details of the Borrower’s account to which the proceeds of such Loans less (A) the amount, if any, necessary to ensure that the balance on deposit in the Required Reserve Account equals the Required Reserve Amount and (B) the amount of any fees and expenses due on such Funding Date, are to be credited and (vi) the direction of the Borrower to the Facility Agent to pay the amounts set forth in clause (v)(A) and (B) from the proceeds of such Loans directly to the Reserve Account or the party to whom such fees and expenses are due, as applicable.

(b) Provided that the conditions set forth in Article 3 have been satisfied, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Funding Date for a Series, each Lender shall make available to the Facility Agent at the Administrative Account, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Loan in an amount equal to its Ratable Share of the total Loan amount requested by the Borrower in respect of such Series. The Facility Agent shall, by no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Funding Date (i) credit to the Borrower’s account designated in the Notice of Borrowing, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Facility Agent by the Lenders for such Series less the amounts set forth in Sections 2.02(a)(v)(A) and (B), (ii) credit the amount set forth in Section 2.02(a)(v)(A) to the Reserve Account, in immediately available funds, from the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Facility Agent by the Lenders for such Series and (iii) pay to the parties to who such amounts are due, the amounts set forth in Section 2.02(a)(v)(B), in immediately available funds, from the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Facility Agent by the Lenders for such Series.

(c) Unless the Facility Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the Funding Date for a Series that such Lender will not make available to the Facility Agent such Lender’s Loan in an amount equal to its Ratable Share of the total Loan amount requested by the Borrower in respect of such Series, the Facility Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) assume that such Lender has made its Ratable Share of such Series available to the Facility Agent on such Funding Date in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Facility Agent may (but shall have no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Share of such Series available to the Facility Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Facility Agent forthwith such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent, at: (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans of such Series and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Facility Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Facility Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower to the Facility Agent for such period. If such Lender shall repay to the Facility Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Series for purposes of this Agreement. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Facility Agent.

(d) The failure of any Lender to make a Loan to be made by it as part of any Series shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan of such Series on the Funding Date for such Series, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by such other Lender.

(ix) the principal amortization schedule for the Loans of such Additional Series shall be attached to the Additional Series Joinder Agreement (which schedule shall constitute the “Amortization Schedule” for the Additional Series);

(x) except for the interest rate, Applicable Margin, Additional Series Availability Period, Maturity Date, Amortization Schedule and required percentages applicable to the Notional Hedge Amount Requirement for Hedge Transactions for the Additional Series, all other terms of the Additional Series shall be (A) consistent with the terms of the Initial Series that are in effect on such date or as reflected in the necessary amendments to this Agreement and any other applicable Credit Documents so that such terms are consistent for Loans of both Series, or (B) if inconsistent, as agreed among the Borrower, the Facility Agent (at the written direction of the Required Lenders of the Initial Series) and each of the Lenders providing the Additional Series;

(xi) the Facility Agent shall have received any documents and other information in connection with such Additional Series as reasonably requested by the Facility Agent;

(xiii) the issuance of such Additional Series and the aggregate principal amount of the Loans, calculated assuming that the Additional Series has been funded and is outstanding in the amount requested by the Borrower in the notice provided pursuant to Section 2.03(a) with the terms set forth in the Additional Series Joinder Agreement, shall comply with the terms of the Israeli Tax Ruling, and the Facility Agent shall have received a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower so certifying.

(d) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(ii) On the fifth (5th) Business Day after each Payment Date and each Maturity Date described in clause (a) of the definition thereto, the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Collateral Agent, shall direct the Account Bank to apply or maintain, as the case may be, in the Reserve Account all funds in the Reserve Account, based on the amounts set forth in the Supplemental Distribution Certificate but subject to the terms of Article 6, as follows:

(A) if an Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Facility Agent shall transfer all funds on deposit in the Reserve Account to the Facility Account and shall apply such funds in accordance with Section 2.08(b)(ii)(A); and

(B) if no Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing:

(1) first, if, on such Payment Date and each of the two immediately preceding Payment Dates, a Retention Event existed (the period ending on such Payment Date and including the two immediately preceding Payment Dates, a “Rolling Retention Period”), then the Facility Agent shall transfer funds, in the amount that was previously transferred from the Facility Account to the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 2.08(b)(ii)(B)(1)a) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the first Payment Date of such Rolling Retention Period, from the Reserve Account to the Facility Account and shall apply such funds in accordance with Section 2.08(b)(ii)(A),

(2) second, after the transfer of funds pursuant to clause (1) above, if applicable, if the funds remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account exceed the Required Reserve Amount, then a) if no Retention Event has occurred and is continuing, the Facility Agent shall transfer all funds in excess of the Required Reserve Amount from the Reserve Account to the Facility Account and shall apply such funds in accordance with Section 2.08(b)(ii)(B)(2) or b) if a Retention Event has occurred and is continuing, the Facility Agent shall retain all such funds in the Reserve Account, and

(3) third, after the transfer of funds pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) above, if applicable, if the funds remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account do not exceed the Required Reserve Amount, then the Facility Agent shall retain all such funds in the Reserve Account.

(e) Royalties Tax Account. (i) Within two (2) Business Days after the Facility Agent’s receipt of written notice from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower that any Royalties-related U.S. Tax is due, attaching:

(A) a certificate from the Accountants, certifying: (1) the amount of each Royalties-related U.S. Tax that is due to be paid, (2) the applicable U.S. Federal tax authority to whom each such Royalties-related U.S. Tax is due and the payment details therefor, and (3) the Business Day on which each such payment is due (which date shall be at least three (3) Business Days after the date such notice is received by the Facility Agent but prior to the next Payment Date), and

(B) a certificate from an Authorized Officer of the Seller, certifying that no amount in respect of such Royalties-related U.S. Tax has been, or will be, withheld from the Royalties or otherwise deducted from any payments to the Facility Account and that all required tax returns with respect to such payment have been duly filed,

the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Collateral Agent, shall direct the Account Bank to pay, from and to the extent of funds available in the Royalties Tax Account, the Royalties-related U.S. Tax in the amounts, to the tax authorities and on the Business Day set forth in such certificates.

(ii) On the fifth (5th) Business Day after each Payment Date and each Maturity Date described in clause (a) of the definition thereto, the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Collateral Agent and with reference to the Supplemental Distribution Certificate, shall direct the Account Bank to transfer all funds available in the Royalties Tax Account in excess of the Royalties-related Tax Amount described in clause (b) of the definition thereof to the Facility Account for future distribution or disbursement in accordance with this Section 2.08.

(iii) In no event shall the Account Bank, the Facility Agent or the Collateral Agent have any obligation to make a filing with any tax authority or have any responsibility for verifying the amount of taxes due or other obligation related thereto other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.08(e).

Section 2.09 Interest on Loans and Other Obligations.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein: (i) the Loans of the Initial Series shall bear interest at the Adjusted Libor Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Loans of the Additional Series shall bear interest at the rate set forth in the Additional Series Joinder Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan, fee or other Obligation payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether on a Payment Date, on an optional prepayment date set forth in a Notice of Prepayment, on a date required in respect of a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 5.06), at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and after giving effect to any applicable grace period, such overdue amount shall bear interest, for each day from the date such amount was due until the date such amount is paid in full (but not including the date such amount is paid in full), after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Libor Rate in effect at the time of such payment default plus 6.00%.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable by the Borrower in arrears: (i) on each Payment Date, (ii) on each other date on which principal of such Loan is required to be paid hereunder, which shall include each optional prepayment date set forth in a Notice of Prepayment and each date required in respect of a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 5.06, and (iii) on the Maturity Date for such Loan; provided that interest accrued pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2.09 shall be due and payable on demand.

(d) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day of the relevant Interest Period); provided, that all computations of interest calculated at the rate set forth in clause (b) above shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

(e) Each determination by the Facility Agent of an interest rate or component thereof under this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(f) The Facility Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rates determined by the Facility Agent for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.10 Substitute Interest Rate Determination.

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period (an “Affected Interest Period”):

(i) the Facility Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Libor Rate, as applicable, for such Affected Interest Period; or

(ii) the Facility Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of a Series that the Adjusted Libor Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans of such Series for such Affected Interest Period;

then the Facility Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower as soon as practicable thereafter. During the thirty-day period following the delivery of such notice, the Lenders of such Series and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute interest rate basis for such Series which shall reflect the cost to the Lenders of such Series of funding and maintaining the Loans of such Series from alternative sources (a "Substitute Basis").

(b) If a Substitute Basis is agreed upon by the Borrower and the Required Lenders of such Series during such period, such Substitute Basis shall apply in lieu of the Libor Rate to all Interest Periods for all Loans of such Series commencing on or after the first day of the Affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving rise to such notice have ceased to apply. If a Substitute Basis is not agreed upon during such period, the Facility Agent shall (based upon the information provided to it by the Required Lenders of such Series), acting in a commercially reasonable manner, determine the interest rate basis reflecting the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loans of such Series and promptly deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the computation of such interest rate, which certification shall be presumptively correct and binding on the Borrower in the absence of demonstrable error, and such interest rate shall apply in lieu of the Libor Rate to all Interest Periods for the Loans of such Series commencing on or after the first day of the Affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving rise to such notice have ceased to apply. If the Borrower at any time reasonably determines in good faith that the circumstances giving rise to the notice delivered by the Facility Agent under clause (a) of this Section 2.10 no longer exist, at the Borrower’s request, the Facility Agent shall request written confirmation from the Lenders of such Series as to whether the circumstances giving rise to such notice have ceased to exist. If such written confirmation is delivered by the Required Lenders of such Series, then the Substitute Basis shall cease to apply in lieu of the Libor Rate for all Loans of such Series commencing on the first Business Day of the next succeeding Interest Period.

Section 2.11 Payments and Computations.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees or otherwise) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition. Except as otherwise provided herein, all such payments shall be made to the Administrative Account. Any amounts received by the Facility Agent after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.

(b) The Facility Agent shall promptly pay when due hereunder to each Lender of a Series to such account as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s Ratable Share of all payments of principal and interest in respect of Loans of such Series, together with all other amounts due to such Lender with respect thereto or otherwise due from the Borrower to such Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Document, in each case in accordance with the applicable Distribution Certificate, Supplemental Distribution Certificate or Notice of Prepayment and solely to the extent such amounts have been received by the Facility Agent or (except in respect of any prepayment) are available to it for such payment in accordance with the terms hereof in the Facility Account or the Reserve Account or, in accordance with Section 2.08(c), in the Facility Account, the Reserve Account, the Royalties Tax Account or the Controlled Deposit Account.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension; provided that, in the case of any payment accruing interest, if such next succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, the date for payment shall be the next preceding Business Day.

(d) All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

(e) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, including pursuant to Sections 2.05, 5.06 and 6.02.

(f) The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Facility Agent and each Lender to charge any deposit account (other than the I/C Loan Account) of the Borrower maintained with the Facility Agent or such Lender for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due to such Lender under the Credit Documents.

(g) If, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other similarly situated Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to an Eligible Assignee. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(h) Unless the Facility Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Facility Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall have no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Facility Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Facility Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Facility Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(i) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Facility Agent may (but shall have no obligation to), in its discretion, notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof: (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder; application of amounts pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be made in any order determined by the Facility Agent in its discretion.

(j) If the Facility Agent or any Lender for any reason obtain funds intended for the I/C Loan Account, then the Facility Agent or such Lender receiving such funds shall promptly, upon its knowledge of its receipt of such funds, transfer such funds to the I/C Loan Account.

Section 2.12 Hedge Requirements.

(a) The Borrower will, at its expense, arrange to enter into one or more Hedge Transactions for each Series satisfying the requirements of this Section 2.12 by no later than the initial Funding Date for such Series. With respect to each Series, the Borrower’s Hedge Transactions with respect to the Loans of such Series shall: (i) satisfy the Notional Hedge Amount Requirements for such Series and (ii) incorporate such other terms as the Arranger or the Facility Agent may reasonably direct in consultation with the Borrower.

(b) If on any Payment Date, the actual aggregate notional amount of any of the Hedge Transactions, in each case in effect with respect to the Loans of a Series, does not satisfy the applicable Notional Hedge Amount Requirements for such Series, the Borrower shall so notify the Facility Agent and the Lenders and promptly enter into additional, or terminate existing, Hedge Transactions in effect with respect to the Loans of such Series, in whole or in part, as necessary in order to ensure that the actual aggregate notional amount of the Hedge Transactions, in each case in effect with respect to the Loans of such Series, after giving effect to such addition or termination, satisfies the applicable Notional Hedge Amount Requirements for such Series, as re-calculated by the Borrower on such date and promptly notified to the Facility Agent. Each additional Hedge Transaction entered into by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) must satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 2.12(a) above.

(c) On each date that a repayment of the principal amount of the Loans of a Series is made hereunder (other than with regularly scheduled payments of principal on the Loans of such Series), the aggregate notional amounts of the Hedge Transactions applicable to such Series shall be reduced such that, after giving effect to such reduction, the aggregate notional amount of all Hedge Transactions, in each case applicable to such Series, after giving effect to such addition or termination, satisfied the applicable Notional Hedge Amount Requirements for such Series, in each case as re-calculated by the Borrower on such date and promptly notified to the Facility Agent.

(d) In the event that a termination payment is paid by a Hedge Counterparty to the Borrower, that termination payment shall either be paid directly to the replacement counterparty who is entering into the replacement Hedge Transaction, if any, or to the Facility Account to be applied on the next Payment Date or such other date as may be applicable in accordance with Section 2.08.

Section 2.13 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) impose on any Affected Party or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Affected Party; or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Party of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such other Affected Party, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Affected Party, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered as shall be reasonably determined by such Lender.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender certifying (i) the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13 and (ii) the basis for the calculation of such amounts, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five (5) Borrower Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 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; provided, further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then such 180 day period shall be extended to include any period of retroactive effect of such Change in Law.

Section 2.14 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), (b) the failure to borrow, continue or prepay any Loan on the date or in the amount specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (c) the assignment of any Loan of any Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (other than loss of profit) as shall be reasonably determined by such Lender. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the basis therefor and setting forth the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five (5) Borrower Business Days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.15 Illegality. If it becomes unlawful for a Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to make or maintain any (or any portion of any) Loans, then: (a) such Lender shall promptly (upon becoming aware of that event) notify the Facility Agent and the Borrower; (b) at such Lender’s option, on notice and demand thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent), such Lender’s Commitment shall be immediately cancelled; and (c) the Borrower shall prepay in full such Lender’s Loans on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier than the last day such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans (including any applicable grace period permitted by law); provided that another Lender (by notifying the Facility Agent, who shall inform the affected Lender and the Borrower) may elect to fund such prepayment and assume the affected Lender’s Commitment, if applicable, its Loans and its other obligations in respect thereof. Upon any such prepayment, the Borrower or such other Lender, as the case may be, shall also pay all accrued interest on the principal amount so prepaid.

Section 2.16 Taxes

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

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

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by or on behalf of the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16 or otherwise pursuant to the Credit Documents, including in respect of any Royalties-related Taxes, the Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to each Affected Party.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Affected Party, within ten (10) Borrower Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by such Affected Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability shall be delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Facility Agent), or by the Facility Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Affected Party, in connection with any such demand and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Facility Agent, within ten (10) Borrower Business Days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Facility Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(h) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Facility Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Facility Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Facility Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Facility Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Facility Agent under this paragraph (e).

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

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

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

(B) any Lender that is not a U.S. Person (such Lender, a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Facility Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Affected Party) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Facility Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(2) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

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

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Facility Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Affected Party) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Facility Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Facility Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds and Recoveries. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of, or otherwise recovered from the relevant Governmental Authority, any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Facility Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Credit Documents.

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

Section 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous (as reasonably determined by the Lender) to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Facility Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.07, all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement and other Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder or under any other Credit Document, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iii) such assignment otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 9.07 and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law. Such assignment and delegation shall be made without recourse except if caused by a default of any Lender to fund its Loans, in which case such Lender will remain jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations which default caused the assignment and delegation, strictly to the extent of such default, until such date as the assigning Lender or the assignee may fully comply with such defaulted obligations. 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 2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) the Commitment and Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.01); provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, this clause (a) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby;

(b) any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Facility Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Facility Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Facility Agent hereunder, and (ii) after payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; and

(c) the rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.18 are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Borrower, the Facility Agent or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.19 Returned Payment; Continuation; Reinstatement. If at any time: (a) one or more of the conditions or events set forth in Section 7.01(h) or (i) shall occur or (b) after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations (including a payment effected through enforcement of any security interest or exercise of a right of setoff), the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party is for any reason compelled to surrender all or any part of such payment or proceeds to any Person or all or any part of such payment or proceeds are set aside, defeased, rescinded or reduced in any amount because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party in its discretion), then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied, this Agreement, the Security Documents and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto shall remain and continue in full force and effect or shall be automatically revived and reinstated and continue, as the case may be, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party; provided, that, subject to and as limited by the terms of the proviso set forth in Section 7.02 of the Seller Security Agreement, the foregoing shall be without prejudice to any termination of the Seller’s obligations pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.01(d)(ii) of the Seller Security Agreement.

ARTICLE 8

THE FACILITY AGENT; COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 8.01 Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to act on its behalf as the Facility Agent and each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent, in each case hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and each such party authorizes the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Facility Agent or the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to enter into each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party. The provisions of this Article 8 are solely for the benefit of the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. For the purposes of this Article 8, unless otherwise specified, all references to the term “Facility Agent” shall be deemed to refer collectively to the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent, who shall each be entitled to all of the rights, privileges, protections and indemnities hereunder.

(b) The Facility Agent shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days unless a shorter period is otherwise specified herein) forward to the Arranger and each Lender a copy of all documents, information, notices, requests, reports, certificates and any other correspondence received by the Facility Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Seller, the Project Company, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank or from any other Person if such correspondence relates to the Credit Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.

(c) If an officer of the Facility Agent with direct responsibility for the administration of the Credit Documents to which the Facility Agent is a party has actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, Retention Event, Early Amortization Event or default, event of default, acceleration or similar event under any Credit Document or if notice thereof has been delivered to the Facility Agent in compliance with Section 9.02 from the Borrower, the Servicer, the Seller, or any Lender, the Facility Agent shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) notify each Lender thereof.

Section 8.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Facility Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Facility Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Facility Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Facility Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. In the event that Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas or any of its Affiliates shall be or become an indenture trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as amended, the “Trust Indenture Act”) in respect of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Borrower, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any payment or property received in satisfaction of or in respect of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or on behalf of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in its capacity as the Facility Agent for the benefit of any Lender under this Agreement or any Note and which is applied in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to be exempt from the requirements of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 311(b)(3) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Facility Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Facility Agent:

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

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers (by consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, 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 Facility 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 the Facility Agent), except discretionary actions, rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Facility Agent chooses to exercise or is required to exercise as directed in writing by (1) the Required Lenders or (2) if expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents, the Arranger or other specified number or percentage of the Lenders; provided, that if the Facility Agent chooses not to exercise its own discretion, then it shall be required to request written instruction from the Lenders or the Arranger, as applicable, with respect to any such discretionary action or exercise of any such discretionary rights or powers; it being understood that in all cases the Facility Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such discretionary action if it shall not have thereafter received such written instruction, advice or concurrence of (1) the Required Lenders or (2) if expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents, the Arranger or other specified number or percentage of the Lenders; provided, further, that the Facility Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Facility Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or Applicable Law; and provided, further, that in respect of any discretionary action or exercise of any discretionary rights or powers by the Collateral Agent, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or in another Credit Document, if the Collateral Agent chooses not to exercise its own discretion, then it shall act as directed by the Facility Agent in accordance with the preceding terms of this clause (ii);

(iii) shall, if it chooses not to exercise its own discretion with respect to any discretionary actions, rights or powers contemplated in: (i) the definitions of “Eligible Hedge Counterparty”, “Financial Model”, “Notional Hedge Amount Requirement”, “Hedge Agreement”, “Hedge Transaction” or (ii) the provisions set forth in Section 2.12(a)(ii), Section 3.01(b) and (j), Section 3.02(b), (d) and (j), Section 5.01(q), and Section 5.02(f), take, subject to the provisos in clause (ii) above, such discretionary action or exercise such discretionary rights and powers as directed in writing by the Arranger or, if the Arranger shall have notified the Facility Agent that the Arranger is deferring to the Lenders, the Required Lenders; and

(iv) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein or in any other Credit Document, 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 the Facility Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Facility Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of (i) the Required Lenders or (ii) if expressly provided for herein (including in Sections 7.01 and 9.01) or in the other Credit Documents, the Arranger or other specified number or percentage of the Lenders, in the absence of the Facility Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except as expressly provided herein, the Facility Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default, Retention Event or Early Amortization Event unless and until notice describing such Default, Event of Default, Retention Event or Early Amortization Event is given to the Facility Agent, in the manner and at its address or facsimile number set forth in Section 9.02, by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Manager, the Seller, the Arranger or a Lender.

(c) The Facility Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) except as expressly provided herein or in any other Credit Document, the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) except as expressly provided herein, the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Facility Agent.

(d) The Facility Agent shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral, for the legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Security Document, or for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Liens. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein or any Credit Document shall require the Facility Agent to file financing statements or continuation statements, except at the written direction of Arranger or the Required Lenders, or be responsible for maintaining the security interests purported to be created as described herein (except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder or under any other Credit Document) and such responsibility shall be that of the Borrower or the Seller, as applicable.

(e) The Facility Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of such Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

(f) The Facility Agent shall not be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document.

(g) In no event shall the Facility Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether it has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Facility Agent The Facility Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person in the form and manner required by this Agreement. The Facility Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon unless such statement is required to be made in writing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Commitment or a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Arranger or a Lender, the Facility Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Facility Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from the Arranger or such Lender prior to the making of such Commitment or Loan. In determining whether any condition precedent to the making of a Commitment or a Loan is otherwise in form or substance satisfactory, the Facility Agent may seek the instructions of, or consult with, the Required Lenders or the Arranger as to the form and substance of such condition precedent. The Facility Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, including in determining satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the making of a Commitment or the making of a Loan hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.05 Delegation of Duties. The Facility Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Facility Agent and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any such agent appointed with due care. The Facility Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 8 shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Affiliates of the Facility Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Facility Agent.

Section 8.06 Resignation of Facility Agent. (a) The Facility Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to appoint a successor; provided that such Person is incorporated or otherwise organized in a country with diplomatic relations with the State of Israel.

(b) If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Facility Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) may appoint a successor agent, which successor may be replaced by the Required Lenders; provided that such replacement is a Person incorporated or otherwise organized in a country with diplomatic relations with the State of Israel and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.

(c) If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or the Borrower within sixty (60) days after the retiring Facility Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Facility Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Facility Agent that is a Person incorporated or otherwise organized in a country with diplomatic relations with the State of Israel; provided that if the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Facility Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of collateral security, if any, held by the Facility Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Facility Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Facility Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Facility Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Facility Agent as provided for above in this Section 8.06.

(d) Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Facility Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Facility Agent, and the retiring Facility Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Facility Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Facility Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article 8 and Section 8.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Facility Agent, its sub agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Facility Agent was acting as Facility Agent.

(e) The obligations of the Facility Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents to which it is a party or the resignation or removal of the Facility Agent in accordance with this Section 9.08.

Section 8.07 Non-Reliance on Facility Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Facility Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Facility Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

100

Section 8.08 No Reliance on Facility Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Facility Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121, or any Sanctions, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Borrower, its Affiliates or its agents, the Credit Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any recordkeeping, (c) comparisons with government lists, (d) customer notices or (e) other procedures required under the Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder or such other Sanctions.

Section 8.09 Indemnification.

(a) The Lenders agree to indemnify the Facility Agent, its Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnitee Agent Party"), to the extent that such Indemnitee Agent Party shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee Agent Party (i) in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or (ii) otherwise in its capacity as such Indemnitee Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Indemnitee Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order. If any indemnity furnished to any Indemnitee Agent Party for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Indemnitee Agent Party, be insufficient or become impaired, such Indemnitee Agent Party may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

(b) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 9.04, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Affected Party, their Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnitee"), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE excluding any amounts not otherwise payable by the Borrower under Section 2.16(d); provided that the Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 8.09 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

101

(c) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Affected Party or the Facility Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 8.10 No Other Duties, etc. Any Person designated as “Arranger” listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except (a) as expressly set forth therein, or (b) in its capacity, as and the extent applicable, as a Lender hereunder.

Section 8.11 Secured Parties. Each Secured Party that is not a party to this Agreement who obtains the benefit hereof and/or of the Security Documents shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the terms hereof and thereof, including the appointment and the rights, benefits and immunities of the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent that affect such Secured Party.

(viii) if to any Lender of the Additional Series, at its address specified in the Additional Series Joinder Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender; and

(ix) if to any other Lender, at its address specified in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a Lender;

or, in each case, to such other address as such party shall have notified in writing to each of the other parties hereto.

(b) Each notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by facsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of facsimile, or three (3) Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided that (i) no notice to the Facility Agent shall be effective until received by such Facility Agent, (ii) any notice of a Default or Event of Default to the Borrower shall be sent by both courier and facsimile, and (iii) the Borrower may deliver, or cause to be delivered, any financial statements or reports (including the Financial Model and any coverage ratio reports) by electronic mail pursuant to procedures approved by the Facility Agent until such Facility Agent or Lender notifies the Borrower that it can no longer receive such documents using electronic mail. Any financial statements or reports sent to an electronic mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the "return receipt requested" function, if available, return electronic mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such document is sent after 5:00 p.m. (New York City) time, such document shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(c) The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Facility Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to the Borrower, or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Facility Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Facility Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

Section 9.03 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Facility Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to the Facility Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

107

Section 9.04 Costs and Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly (a) (i) all the Facility Agent’s and all the Arranger’s actual, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto, in the case of such costs and expenses relating to negotiation, preparation and execution of the Credit Documents, subject to any caps that may have separately been agreed in writing between the Seller and the Facility Agent and/or the Arranger with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) all of the Lenders’ actual, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto, provided such costs and expenses arise after the Signing Date, subject to any caps that may have separately been agreed in writing by the Seller and such Lender with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) all the actual, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of creating, perfecting and enforcing Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes and search fees; (c) subject to the terms of this Agreement, all the Facility Agent’s actual, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and reasonable fees, expenses for, and disbursements of any of the Facility Agent’s, auditors, accountants, attorneys, consultants or appraisers incurred by the Facility Agent, in each case subject to any caps that may have separately been agreed in writing by the Seller and the Facility Agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (d) subject to the terms of this Agreement, all the actual, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any appraisers, consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained by Facility Agent and its counsel) in connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; (e) subject in all cases to any express limitations set forth in any Credit Document and to any caps that may have separately been agreed in writing between the Seller and the Facility Agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, all other actual, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Facility Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby; and (f) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and costs of settlement, incurred by the Facility Agent and/or any Lender in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from the Borrower hereunder or under the other Credit Documents by reason of such Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a "work out" or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.

108

Section 9.05 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 9.06 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Borrower and the Facility Agent of written or telephonic notification of authorization of delivery thereof.

Section 9.07 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Neither the Borrower’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by it without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent and all Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, Indemnitee Agent Parties and Indemnitees under Section 9.09, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Facility Agent and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Register. The Borrower, the Facility Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until an Assignment and Assumption effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been delivered to and accepted by the Facility Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 9.07. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Loans.

(c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided, however, that each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Loan) to any Person constituting an Eligible Assignee; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision herein other than Section 2.17(b), any such assignment, other than as contemplated in Section 2.17(b), shall be at such Lender’s and relevant assignee’s expense.

(d) Mechanics. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall execute and deliver to the Facility Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment and Assumption may be required to deliver to the Facility Agent pursuant to Section 2.16(f). The assignee shall pay the Facility Agent a processing fee of $3,500 and provide the Facility Agent with its required “know your customer” information.

109

(e) Notice of Assignment. Upon the Facility Agent’s receipt and acceptance of a duly executed and completed Assignment and Assumption, the “know your customer” information and any forms, certificates or other evidence required by this Agreement in connection therewith and the processing fee, the Facility Agent shall: (i) record the information contained in such notice in the Register, (ii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, and (iii) maintain a copy of such Assignment and Assumption.

(f) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the date hereof or as of the applicable effective date (as defined in the applicable Assignment and Assumption) that: (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the Loans; and (iii) it will make or invest in the Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.07, the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(g) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9.07, as of the "effective date" specified in the applicable Assignment and Assumption: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a "Lender" hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a "Lender" for all purposes hereof; and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 9.14) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, that anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising prior to the effective date of such assignment.

(h) Participations.

(i) Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person in all or any part of its Loans or in any other Obligation; provided, that the holder of any such participation must be incorporated or otherwise organized in a country with diplomatic relations with the State of Israel. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would:

110

(A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof),

(B) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or

(C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating.

(ii) The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (c) of this Section; provided, that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as if it were an assignee of a Lender hereunder and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.16 than 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 acquired the applicable participation, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

(iii) Each Lender that sells such a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a record in its books of the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in such participation and other obligations under the Credit Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person other than the Borrower, including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest or obligations under any Credit Document, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary for the avoidance of doubt, the Facility Agent (in its capacity as Facility Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

111

(iv) The Borrower shall not disclose the identity of any Participant of any Lender or any information relating to such Participant's interest or obligation to any Person; provided that the Borrower may make (A) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender and to their agents and advisors; provided that such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the information and will be instructed to keep such information confidential, and (B) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal or judicial process or other legal proceeding; provided, that unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law or court order, the Borrower shall make reasonable efforts to notify the applicable Lender of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of the Borrower by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non public information prior to disclosure of such information.

(i) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 9.07, any Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its Loans and the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a "Lender" or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

Section 9.08 Confidentiality. The Facility Agent and the Lenders shall hold all non-public information regarding the Borrower, the Seller, the Servicer and the Project Company and its business obtained by such Lender or Facility Agent pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s or Facility Agent's customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by the Borrower that, in any event, any Lender and the Facility Agent may make (a) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender or Facility Agent and to their agents, auditors, attorneys and advisors (and to other persons authorized by such Lender or Facility Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 9.08), (b) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein, (c) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it; provided that such rating agency is informed of the confidential nature of the information and will be instructed to keep such information confidential, (d) disclosure to such Lender’s financing sources, provided that prior to any disclosure, such financing source is informed of the confidential nature of the information and will be instructed to keep such information confidential, (e) disclosures required by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or by any regulatory body (or self-regulatory body) or pursuant to legal or judicial process or other legal proceeding; provided, that unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law or court order, each Lender or the Facility Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender or the Facility Agent by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information, and (f) any other disclosure authorized in writing by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the disclosure of any information that is or becomes publicly known or information obtained by any Lender or the Facility Agent from sources other than the Borrower, the Seller, the Servicer or the Project Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) on or after the date hereof, the Arranger may, at its own expense issue news releases and publish "tombstone" advertisements and other announcements relating to this transaction in newspapers, trade journals and other appropriate media (which may include use of logos of the Borrower) (collectively, "Trade Announcements"). The Borrower shall not issue any Trade Announcement using the name of the Facility Agent or the Lender, or their respective Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, or the transactions contemplated thereunder except (x) disclosures required by Applicable Law, regulation, legal process or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or (y) with the prior approval of the Facility Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). The obligations of the Facility Agent under this Section 9.08 shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Facility Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.

112

Section 9.09 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York including Section 5-1401 and Section 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, but otherwise without regard to the State of New York’s conflict of laws provisions that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.10 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 9.11 Jurisdiction, Etc.

(a) All judicial proceedings brought against the Borrower arising out of or relating hereto or any other Credit Document, or any of the Obligations, may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the borough of Manhattan in the City of New York. By executing and delivering this Agreement, the Borrower, for itself and in connection with its properties, irrevocably (i) accepts generally and unconditionally the nonexclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts; (ii) waives any defense of forum non conveniens; (iii) agrees that service of all process in any such proceeding in any such court may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Borrower at its address provided in accordance with Section 9.02 and agrees that any such service is sufficient to confer personal jurisdiction over the Borrower in any such proceeding in any such court, and otherwise constitutes effective and binding service in every respect; and (iv) agrees that the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender retain the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

113

(b) The Borrower hereby agrees that process may be served on it by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses pertaining to it as specified in Section 9.02. Any and all service of process and any other notice in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be effective against the Borrower if given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by any other means or mail which requires a signed receipt, postage prepaid, mailed as provided above.

Section 9.12 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Facility Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Facility Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. The parties to this agreement agree that they will provide to the Lenders and the Facility Agent such information as they may request, from time to time, in order for the Facility Agent to satisfy the requirements of the Patriot Act, including but not limited to the name, address, tax identification number and other information that will allow it to identify the individual or entity who is establishing the relationship or opening the account and may also ask for formation documents such as articles of incorporation or other identifying documents to be provided.

Section 9.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 9.13 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

114

Section 9.14 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and funding of any Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Borrower set forth in Sections 2.08(e), 2.13, 2.16, 2.19, 8.09, 9.04, 9.07(h)(iv) and 9.15 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.08(e), 2.19, 8.09, and 9.08 shall survive the payment of the Loans and/or the termination hereof.

Section 9.15 Marshalling. Neither the Facility Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations or any other amount due hereunder.

Section 9.16 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 9.17 Obligations Several; Actions in Concert. 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 Credit 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. Anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Obligations without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Obligations shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Facility Agent.

Section 9.18 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

Section 9.19 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under Applicable Law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full, the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Facility Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

115

Section 9.20 English Language. Except as otherwise provided herein, all documents, instruments, reports or any other information to be delivered by any Person pursuant to the terms hereof or of any other Credit Document shall be in the English language or, if originally written in another language, shall be accompanied by an accurate English translation, upon each of which the other parties hereto shall have the right to rely for all purposes under this Agreement.

(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Sale and Contribution of the Royalties Receivables made hereunder is an absolute and irrevocable true sale and contribution that provides the Borrower with the full benefits of ownership of the Royalties Receivables so purchased, acquired and accepted (such that the Royalties Receivables will not constitute property of the Seller’s estate in the event of the Seller’s bankruptcy), and is not a loan or financing secured by such Royalties Receivables.

For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the Sale and Contribution of the Royalties Receivables constitute a true and absolute sale and contribution, the Seller hereby pledges and grants to the Borrower a security interest in, and assigns to the Borrower as collateral security (collectively, a “Security Interest”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the Royalties Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter created or arising, and all proceeds of the foregoing, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Loans and other Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement from time to time and the satisfaction of all other obligations owed to the Borrower by the Seller under this Agreement.

(i) The sale, transfer and conveyance of the Royalties as and in the manner contemplated by the Royalties Transfer Agreements was sufficient to fully transfer to the Seller all right, title and interest of the Project Company in, to and under the Royalties, and the Seller thereby purchased, accepted and acquired all legal and equitable title to and owned the Royalties free and clear of any Liens.

Section 8.06 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind the Seller and the Borrower and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the Borrower, together with the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and their successors and permitted assigns as express third party beneficiaries. The obligations of the Seller under this Agreement cannot be assigned or delegated to a third party without the consent of each of the Borrower and the Facility Agent, which consent shall be at each such Person’s sole discretion.

Section 8.07 Assignment of Agreement. The Seller acknowledges that all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement, each of the other Credit Documents and the Royalties Receivables, constitutes part of the Collateral pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and that, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Documents, the Borrower has assigned to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all benefits, rights and remedies exercisable by the Borrower under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the Royalties Receivables. The foregoing assignment includes: (a) all monies due and to become due to the Borrower from the Seller or the Seller from the Project Company, whether in connection with the Royalties Receivables, any expenses, costs, indemnities, or damages for the breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or otherwise, (b) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Borrower against the Seller or the Seller against the Project Company under or with respect to the Royalties Receivables or any other Credit Document (whether arising pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof or as otherwise available at law or in equity) and (c) the right, at any time, to give or withhold consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, demands, extensions or waivers under or with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document. The Seller agrees to cooperate fully with the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in the exercise of the foregoing rights and remedies; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower or the Seller under this Agreement or any other Credit Document except at the direction of the Required Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement. The Seller further agrees to give to the Facility Agent copies of all notices it is required to give to the Borrower hereunder. The Borrower and the Seller each hereby acknowledge and agree that the Facility Agent and each Lender have relied upon the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement in entering into the Credit Agreement.

Section 8.08 No Petition. The Seller hereby agrees that it will not institute against the Borrower, join in the institution against the Borrower or authorize, consent to or cause the Borrower to institute any proceeding: (a) seeking bankruptcy, reorganization, winding-up, arrangement, moratorium, insolvency or liquidation of the Borrower, (b) the appointment of an administrator, a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official with respect to the Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or (c) any other proceeding under any United States federal or any state bankruptcy law, including the Bankruptcy Code, or under any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect in any applicable jurisdiction, in any case prior to the date which is one year and one day (or, if longer, such other preference period under Applicable Law, plus one day) after the payment and discharge in full of all Obligations of the Borrower.

Section 8.09 Subordination. The Seller agrees that any claim against, or right to payment from, the Borrower that the Seller may have under this Agreement or otherwise shall be subordinate to the prior payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations of the Borrower owing to the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties. The Seller further agrees that it will not have any recourse against any assets of the Borrower or against any officer, director, employee or member of the Borrower for the satisfaction of any claim against, or payment of any amount due or payable from, the Borrower.

Section 8.10 Survival. The rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, any covenant set forth in Article 6 and the provisions of Sections 6.04, 6.05, 7.01, 8.08 and 8.09 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.11 No Set-off. Seller’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be affected by any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right the Seller might have against Borrower, all of which rights are hereby expressly waived by the Seller.

Section 8.12 Costs and Expenses. The Seller agrees to be liable for, and to pay on demand, any and all stamp, sales, excise, transfer and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing or recording of this Agreement (it being understood that no Secured Party shall have an obligation to pay such taxes and fees).

Section 8.13 Further Assurances. (b) Whenever and so often as reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent or the other party hereto, each of the Borrower and the Seller shall promptly execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, register, record and perform, or cause to be executed, acknowledged, delivered, filed, registered, recorded and performed, all such other and further acts, deeds, assignments, sales, contributions, transfers, conveyances, grants, pledges, notices, statements, powers of attorney, instruments, documents or assurances, and promptly do or cause to be done all such other things, as may be necessary or reasonably required to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party. Notwithstanding anything else in the Credit Documents to the contrary, none of the Borrower, the Seller or any agent of either thereof shall have any authority to file a termination, partial termination, release, partial release or any amendment to any financing statement or other recording, filing or registration covering all or any portion of the Collateral that deletes the name of the debtor, transferor, charger, pledgor or seller or excludes or releases any of the Royalties Receivables or other Collateral described therein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

(a) The Seller and the Borrower each hereby authorize the Collateral Agent (as assignee of the Borrower) to file such financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, and execute and file, register or record such other documents, instruments or notices, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices without the signature of, or further authorization by, the Seller.

(b) If the Seller fails to perform any of its respective agreements or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, the Collateral Agent (as assignee of the Borrower) may (but shall not be required to except in accordance with the Credit Agreement) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller upon demand therefor.

Section 8.14 Power of Attorney. In addition to and without limiting any other rights or powers of the Collateral Agent otherwise set forth herein or in any other Credit Document, the Seller hereby constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (as assignee of the Borrower) as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of any breach or failure to perform or observe by the Seller of any of its obligations or any material term, covenant, undertaking or agreement set forth herein or in any other Credit Document to which it is a party, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents to which the Seller is a party and with respect to the Royalties Receivables, including to execute any documents or instruments and take any and all actions in the name of the Seller, and on behalf of the Seller as necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent (as assignee of the Borrower), to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Royalties Receivables, to exercise and enforce all rights and remedies under or in respect of such Royalties Receivables and to otherwise accomplish the purposes hereof or thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall subject the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates or representatives to any liability for any failure to act or any delay in doing so or if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall such powers confer any obligations or duties upon the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates or representatives in any manner whatsoever. This power of attorney has been granted to secure the Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and to safeguard the rights of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent in the Royalties Receivables under this Agreement.

Section 8.15 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Borrower in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to the Borrower hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

Section 8.16 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Borrower and the Seller of written or telephonic notification of authorization of delivery thereof.

Section 8.17 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the breach of such covenant if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 8.18 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

Section 2.03 Revisions to the UCC. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly understood and agreed that, to the extent the UCC is revised after the date hereof such that the definition of any of the terms included in the description or definition of the Collateral is changed, the parties hereto desire that any property which is included in such changed definitions, but which would not otherwise be included in the Collateral on the date hereof, nevertheless be included in the Collateral upon the effective date of such revision. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent is intended to apply immediately on the Initial Funding Date to all of the Collateral to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of whether any particular item of the Collateral was then subject to the UCC.

(b) (i) The Collateral Agent has Control over each of the Facility Account, the Reserve Account, the Royalties Tax Account and, to the extent it exists on such date, the Controlled Deposit Account; and (ii) to the extent existing on such date, no Person other than the Borrower has Control of the I/C Loan Account, such account is owned by and is in the name of the Borrower and is not subject to any Lien.

(g) Under Applicable Law and the Israeli Tax Ruling, upon the sale or other disposition of Collateral pursuant to this Security Agreement, the Seller (and not the Borrower or the Collateral Agent, including directly from the proceeds of such sale or other disposition) will be required pay all related Taxes (other than value added taxes) to the applicable tax authority to whom such Taxes are due.

(iv) the Borrower hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree;

(v) the Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral on a “where is; as is” basis and without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral; and

(vi) if the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit, the Obligations will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser.

The rights, powers and remedies given to the Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 9.04 Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Security Agreement shall create a continuing Security Interest in the Collateral, shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with Article 7 and shall be binding upon the Borrower, its permitted assigns and successors, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers any Loan held by it to any other Person in accordance with Section 9.06 of the Credit Agreement, such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Lenders herein or otherwise as a Secured Party to the extent provided herein. Each Secured Party shall have all the rights of an express third party beneficiary hereof. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, given in accordance with the Credit Agreement and this Security Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder.

Section 9.05 Entire Agreement.

Accordingly, the Credit Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. In the event of any conflict between this Security Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the provisions of the Credit Agreement shall govern.

Section 9.08 Waiver; Amendment. This Security Agreement, or any provision hereof, may be amended, modified or waived only by a written instrument executed by each of the parties hereto acting by their respective duly authorized representatives.

(b) The Borrower hereby agrees that process may be served on it by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses pertaining to it as specified in Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 9.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 9.11 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

Section 9.12 Security Interest; Obligations Absolute. In each case to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest in the Collateral and all obligations of Borrower hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any claim as to the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any Security Document or any other Credit Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all of or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any Security Document or any other Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing;

(d) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

(e) any exchange, release or non-perfection of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in or other Lien on any other Collateral (including the Israeli Collateral) or other collateral for all or any of the Obligations; or

(f) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower in respect of the Obligations or in respect of this Security Agreement (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which demand has not been made)).

Section 9.13 Petroleum Law. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall derogate from the rights of the State of Israel under the Petroleum Law. The Collateral Agent hereby agrees to be bound by and comply with all requirements of the Petroleum Commissioner, the Israeli Courts and Israeli Law with respect to the enforcement and exercise of its remedies in respect of the Royalties and other Israeli Law governed Collateral.

Section 9.14 Independence of Security; Conflict. i) Any obligation, commitment or restriction contained herein shall be in addition to and not derogate or limit any obligation, commitment or restriction of the Borrower set out in the other Credit Documents. The Security Interests created and the powers conferred by this Agreement are in addition to, and (except as expressly set forth in this Section 9.14) are not in any way prejudiced or adversely affected by, any of the other Credit Documents, and none of the Credit Documents will merge into this Security Agreement. All Security Interests that have been or may be created in favor of the Collateral Agent for payment and performance of the Obligations shall be independent of one another. The Collateral Agent will not be bound to enforce any of the other Security Documents or Security Interests created thereby before enforcing this Agreement or any of the Security Interests created hereby except that the Collateral Agent will enforce the Security Interest in the Royalties granted pursuant to the Israeli Security Agreement prior to its enforcement of the Security Interest in the Royalties granted pursuant to this Agreement.

(a) In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Israeli Security Agreement with respect to the Security Interest in the Royalties granted pursuant to the Israeli Security Agreement or the enforcement or exercise of any remedies by the Collateral Agent directly in respect thereof, the Israeli Security Agreement will prevail solely with respect to and to the extent of such conflict.

The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Notices

7.3 All notices and other communications in respect of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any modifications of, or requests, waivers or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including, without limitation, by telecopy) to the Payor or the Payee at its "Address for Notices" specified below its name on the signature pages hereof; or, as to either the Payor or the Payee, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopier or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.

Amendments; Successors; Assignments

7.4 This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Payor and the Payee. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Payor and the Payee and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Either the Payor or the Payee may at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the other party, assign all or any portion of its rights under any Loan or this Agreement to one or more Persons, and, upon its giving notice of such assignment to the other party specifying the interest in such Loan or this Agreement being assigned and the Person to which such interest is being assigned, each reference herein to the Payor or the Payee, as the case may be, shall (solely in respect of the interest so assigned) constitute a reference to such assignee (as if such assignee were named herein) rather than the Payor or the Payee, as the case may be.

Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Etc.

7.5 (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and this Agreement and all matters arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York.

(b)

With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to or arising out of this Agreement (Proceedings), the Payor irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; and each appellate court thereof, and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over the Payor. Nothing in this Agreement precludes the Payee from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor will the bringing of Proceedings by the Payee in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings by the Payee in any other jurisdiction.

Waiver of Jury Trial

7.6 EACH OF THE PAYOR AND THE PAYEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
