Lenders have hereby agreed to provide the Revolving Credit Increase (in such
capacity, the “Incremental Lenders” and the portion of the Revolving Credit

amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement set forth herein.

WHEREAS, each Lender party hereto has agreed to consent to this Amendment on the

Amendment as follows:

and conditions set forth herein:

(a) the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety

Agreement”).

their entirety to be in the forms of Schedules 4.3(a), 4.3(b), 4.7, 4.8,
4.13(a), 4.13(b), 4.13(c), 4.13(d), 4.16 and 4.20 attached hereto, respectively.

restricting the rights, or regarding the obligations, of the Loan Parties or any
provisions regarding the rights of the Lenders, of the Amended Credit Agreement

agrees to purchase and assume from each existing Revolving Credit Lender having
Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans

Portion of the new Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to this
Amendment), in the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Loans, so as to ensure that, on the Amendment
Effective Date, after giving effect to the Revolving Credit Increase, each
Revolving Lender is owed only its Ratable Portion of the Revolving Loans and
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans outstanding on the Amendment
Effective Date and as set forth in Schedules I and II attached hereto, as
applicable.

Loans), the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be
(i) in Alternative Currency and/or (ii) Eurocurrency Rate Loans or EURIBOR Rate
Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.3(a)
(Swing Loans), if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans, the Administrative Agent may make a Swing Loan available to the Borrower
in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate
amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by
the principal amount of such Swing Loan. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate
amount of not less than the Minimum Threshold.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall give each Revolving Credit Lender a notice by
not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) (or 12:00 p.m. (New York time) with
respect to any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) on the date a Notice of Borrowing
has been delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(a) above
of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Notice of Borrowing and, if
Eurocurrency Rate Loans or EURIBOR Rate Loans are properly requested in such
Notice of Borrowing, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to
Section 2.14(a) (Determination of Interest Rate). Each Revolving Credit Lender
shall, before (i) 1:00 p.m. (New York time) in the case of Loans denominated in
Dollars, (ii) 2:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of Loans denominated in
Sterling and (iii) 1:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of Loans denominated in
Euros, in each case, on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to
the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices,
Etc.), in immediately available funds, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable
Portion of such proposed Borrowing. Upon fulfillment (or due waiver in
accordance with Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.)) at any time (including
the Effective Date), of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2
(Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit), and after the

make such funds available to the Borrower.

Credit Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Revolving
Credit Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Revolving
Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Credit Lender has made such
Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such
Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Revolving Credit Lender

Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together
with interest thereon, for each day from the date

interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and
(ii) in the case of such Revolving Credit Lender, the Interbank Rate for the
first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to
the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Revolving Credit Lender shall repay
to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount
so repaid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Loan as part of such
Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall repay to the
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve
such Revolving Credit Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the
Borrower.

(d) The occurrence of any Revolving Credit Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender
shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligations to make
such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Revolving Credit Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make a Loan or
payment required under this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Swing Loans

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the
Swing Loan Lender may, in its sole discretion, make, in Dollars, loans (each a
“Swing Loan”) otherwise available to the Borrower under the Facility from time
to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the
Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding (together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any
other Swing Loan made by the Swing Loan Lender hereunder) not to exceed the
Swing Loan Sublimit; provided, however, that (i) the outstanding principal
amount of Swing Loans equal to the amount by which the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Swing Loans exceeds $25,000,000 shall be deemed a
utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Swing Loan Lender (unless
otherwise agreed in writing by the Swing Loan Lender and prompt notice of such
agreement is given to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) at no time shall the
Swing Loan Lender make any Swing Loan to the extent that, after giving effect to
such Swing Loan, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the
Maximum Credit. Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must be repaid in
full within fifteen days after its making or, if sooner, upon any Borrowing
hereunder and shall in any event mature no later than the Revolving Credit
Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this
clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this
clause (a).

(b) In order to request a Swing Loan, the Borrower shall fax (or forward by
electronic mail or similar means) to the Administrative Agent a duly completed
request in substantially the form of Exhibit D (Form of Swing Loan Request),
setting forth the requested amount and date of such Swing Loan (a “Swing Loan
Request”), to be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m.
(New York time) on the day of the proposed borrowing. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify the Swing Loan Lender of the details of the requested
Swing Loan. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender may
make a Swing Loan available to the Administrative Agent and, in turn, the
Administrative Agent shall make such amounts available to the Borrower on the
date of the relevant Swing Loan Request. The Swing Loan Lender shall not make
any Swing Loan in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it
receives written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit
Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2
(Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall not on such date
be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The Swing Loan
Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice
whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent
to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the
making of any Swing Loan.

received on a day that is not a Business Day shall not be required to be
forwarded to the Revolving Credit Lenders by the Administrative Agent until the
next succeeding Business Day), together with a statement prepared by the
Administrative Agent specifying the amount of each Revolving Credit Lender’s
Ratable Portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans stated to
be outstanding in such notice or demanded to be paid pursuant to such demand,
and, notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in
Sections 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) and 2.1
(The Revolving Credit Commitments) shall have been satisfied (which conditions
precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), each Revolving
Credit Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day next
succeeding the date of such Revolving Credit Lender’s receipt of such notice or
demand, make available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available
funds, for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the amount specified in such
statement. Upon such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender, such Revolving Credit
Lender shall, except as provided in clause (f) below, be deemed to have made a
Revolving Loan to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall use such funds to
repay the Swing Loans to the Swing Loan Lender. To the extent that any Revolving
Credit Lender fails to make such payment available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower shall repay such Swing
Loan on demand.

each Revolving Credit Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided participation in each Swing Loan otherwise required to be repaid by
such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to clause (e) above, which participation
shall be in a principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable
Portion of such Swing Loan, by paying to the Swing Loan Lender on the date on
which such Revolving Credit Lender would otherwise have been required to make a
payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (e) above, in
immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan. If all or part of such amount is not in fact
made available by such Revolving Credit Lender to the Swing Loan Lender on such
date, the Swing Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover any such unpaid amount
on demand from such Revolving Credit Lender together with interest accrued from
such date at the Interbank Rate for the first Business Day after such payment
was due and thereafter at the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate
Loans.

to have made a Revolving Loan pursuant to clause (e) above with respect to any
Swing Loan or (ii) purchases an undivided participation interest in a Swing Loan
pursuant to clause (f) above, the Swing Loan Lender shall promptly distribute to

cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuer as of
the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date and that such Issuer in good faith deems

of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit.

None of the Lenders (other than the Issuers in their capacity as such) shall

automatic renewal thereof for additional periods less than or equal to one year,
as long as, on or before the expiration of each such term and each such period,
each of the Borrower and the Issuer of such Letter of Credit shall have the
option to prevent such automatic renewal; provided, further, that, for any

(d) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4,
the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit on
behalf of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary
business practices. No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period
commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from any
Revolving Credit Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained
in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) or
clause (a) above (other than those conditions set forth in clauses (a)(i),
(a)(vi)(B) and (C) above and, to the extent such clause relates to fees owing to
the Issuer of such Letter of Credit and its Affiliates, clause (a)(vi)(A) above)
are not on such date satisfied or duly waived and ending when such conditions
are satisfied or duly waived. No Issuer shall otherwise be required to determine
that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2
(Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in
connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit.

(e) The Borrower agrees that, if requested by the Issuer of any Letter of
Credit, it shall execute a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement in respect
to any Letter of Credit Issued hereunder. In the event of any conflict between
the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement,
the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

(f) Each Issuer shall comply with the following:

(i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed
promptly thereafter in writing), which writing may be a fax or electronic mail,
of the Issuance of any Letter of Credit Issued by it, of all drawings under any
Letter of Credit Issued by it and of the payment (or the failure to pay when
due) by the Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation when due (which notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by fax, electronic mail or similar
transmission to each Lender);

(ii) upon the request of any Revolving Credit Lender, furnish to such Revolving
Credit Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which
such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be
requested by such Revolving Credit Lender; and

(iii) no later than 10 Business Days following the last day of each calendar
month, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall
provide a copy to each Lender requesting the same) and the Borrower separate
schedules for Documentary Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit issued
by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case
outstanding at the end of each month, and any information requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent relating thereto.

(g) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuer shall be
deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each
Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have
purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Credit
Lender’s Ratable Portion, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the
Borrower with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with
respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

(h) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount
of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under any Letter of Credit
issued for its account no later than the date that is the next succeeding
Business Day after the Borrower receives written notice from such Issuer that
payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the “Reimbursement Date”),
irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may
have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. In the event that any
Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not
have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or any such
payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such
Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon
computed (i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the
Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to
Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date
until the date of repayment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during
such period to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such
Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly
notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Credit
Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Issuer the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable
Portion of such payment (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof if such payment was
made in any currency other than Dollars) in immediately available Dollars. If
the Administrative Agent so notifies such Revolving Credit Lender prior to
11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Revolving Credit Lender
shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer
its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in
immediately available funds. Upon such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender,
such Revolving Credit Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default
or Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) and notwithstanding
whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions
Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which
conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be
deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower in the principal amount of
such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from the Borrower a payment of a
Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for
the account of such Issuer any payment from a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant
to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay over to the Administrative Agent any
amount received in excess of such Reimbursement Obligation and, upon receipt of
such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Revolving
Credit Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving
Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if
necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Revolving Credit Lenders have
paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

(i) If and to the extent such Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made its
Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such
Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with
interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the
Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal
to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Facility.

(j) The Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the
obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of
Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all
circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan
Document, or any term or provision therein;

 

64

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

TENET HEALTHCARE CORPORATION

 

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of
the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right that the
Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the
Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at
any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer,
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or
unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to
be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that
might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not result in any liability of
such Issuer to the Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and
other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms
thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in
order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any
Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to
it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein,
including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of
Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the
amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such
Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on
its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any
other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged
or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any
respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the
documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in
each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of
the Issuer.

Section 2.5 Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments

The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the
Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably the unused
portions of the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit
Lenders; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate
amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof. Any notice of termination or reduction delivered pursuant to
this Section 2.5 may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any event specified therein, in which case such notice may be
revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to
the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Section 2.6 Repayment of Loans

The Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the
Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans on the Scheduled Termination Date or
earlier, if otherwise required by the terms hereof.

Section 2.7 Evidence of Debt

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account
or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting
from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of
principal and stated interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
under this Agreement. In addition, each Lender having sold a participation in
any of its Obligations or having identified a Special Purpose Vehicle as such to
the Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely
for this purpose, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in
Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a record of ownership in which such Lender shall
register by book entry (i) the name and address of each such participant and
Special Purpose Vehicle (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or
otherwise) and (ii) and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
participant’s or Special Purpose Vehicle’s interests in any Obligation, in any
Revolving Credit Commitment and in any right to receive payment hereunder (the
“Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to
disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity
of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in
any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any
Loan Document) to any Person (other than the Borrower) except to the extent that
such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of
credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register.

(b) (i) The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for
this purpose, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in
Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the
Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the Administrative
Agent’s, each Lender’s and each Issuer’s interest in each Loan, each Letter of
Credit and each Reimbursement Obligation,

 

66

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

TENET HEALTHCARE CORPORATION

 

and in the right to receive any payments hereunder and any assignment of any
such interest or rights. In addition, the Administrative Agent, acting as agent
of the Borrower solely for this purpose, shall establish and maintain accounts
in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record
(i) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Issuers, (ii) the Revolving
Credit Commitments of each Lender from time to time, (iii) the amount of each
Loan made and, if a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (iv) the amount of any drawn Letters of Credit, (v) the amount of any
principal and stated interest due and payable, and paid, by the Borrower to, or
for the account of, each Lender hereunder, (vi) the amount that is due and
payable, and paid, by the Borrower to, or for the account of, each Issuer,
including the amount of Letter Credit Obligations (specifying the amount of any
Reimbursement Obligations) due and payable to an Issuer, and (vii) the amount of
any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower,
whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to
which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents
and each Lender’s and Issuer’s, as the case may be, share thereof, if
applicable.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Loans (including the Revolving Credit Notes evidencing such Loans) and the drawn
Letters of Credit are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest
of the Lenders and the Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans or drawn
Letters of Credit, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation
of such transfer in the Register. A Revolving Credit Note shall only evidence
the Lender’s or a registered assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the
related Loan, and in no event is any such Revolving Credit Note to be considered
a bearer instrument or obligation. This Section 2.7(b) and Section 11.2
(Assignments and Participations) shall be construed so that the Loans and drawn
Letters of Credit are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the
meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related
regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

(c) The entries made in the Register and in the accounts therein maintained
pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender
or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall
not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in
accordance with their terms. In addition, the Loan Parties, the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as a Lender or as an Issuer, as applicable, for all
purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect
to any Lender or Issuer shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that any
Revolving Credit Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a
registered promissory note or registered notes payable to such Revolving Credit
Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Revolving Credit
Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly execute and
deliver a Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes to such Revolving
Credit Lender evidencing the Revolving Loans of such Revolving Credit Lender,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B (Form of Revolving Credit Note).

Section 2.8 Optional Prepayments

The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans
and Swing Loans in whole or in part at any time; provided, however, that if any
prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is made by the Borrower other than on
the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, the Borrower shall also pay
any amount owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs); provided,
further, that the Administrative Agent shall receive notice of such prepayment
not later than 12:00 noon (New York time in the case of Loans denominated in
Dollars or London time in the case of Loans denominated in Alternative Currency)
(i) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) four Business Days prior to any date of
prepayment of Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currency and (iii) on
the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans. Any notice of prepayment delivered
pursuant to this Section 2.8 may state that it is conditioned upon the
occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein, in which case such
notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on
or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Section 2.9 Mandatory Prepayments

(a) Upon receipt by any Group Member of Net Cash Proceeds arising from an Asset
Sale of any Collateral, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans (or
provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to
100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. Any such mandatory prepayment shall be applied
in accordance with clause (b) below.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(g) (Payments and Computations),
any prepayments made by the Borrower required to be applied in accordance with
this clause (b) shall be applied as follows: first, to repay the outstanding
principal balance of the Swing Loans until such Swing Loans shall have been
repaid in full; second, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the
Revolving Loans until such Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full; and
then, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to provide cash
collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to 103% of
such Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3
(Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) until all such Letter of Credit
Obligations have been fully cash collateralized in the manner set forth therein.

(c) If at any time, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit
Outstandings exceeds the aggregate Maximum Credit at such time, the Borrower
shall forthwith prepay the Swing Loans first and then the Revolving Loans then
outstanding in an amount equal to such excess. If any such excess remains after
repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swing Loans and Revolving Loans,
the Borrower shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations
in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit)
in an amount equal to 103% of such excess.

(d) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct, during a
Liquidity Event Period, the application of all funds in the Cash Collateral
Account and agrees that the Administrative Agent may and, upon the written
direction of the Requisite Lenders given at any time during such Liquidity Event
Period, shall (i) deliver a Blockage Notice to each Deposit Account Bank for
each Approved Deposit Account and (ii) except, as provided in Section 2.13(g)
(Payments and Computations) and clause (b) above, following the occurrence and
during the

continuance of an Event of Default, apply all payments in respect of any
Obligations and all available funds in the Cash Collateral Account on a daily
basis as follows: first, to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Swing
Loans until such Swing Loans have been repaid in full; second, to repay the
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans until such Revolving Loans
shall have been repaid in full; and then to any other Obligation then due and
payable. The Administrative Agent agrees to apply such funds and the Borrower
consents to such application. If (i) following such application, (ii) outside of
a Liquidity Event Period or (iii) after all Letters of Credit shall have expired
or be fully drawn and all Revolving Credit Commitments shall have been
terminated, there are no Loans outstanding and no other Obligations that are
then due and payable (and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, cash collateral has been provided in an amount equal to 103% of the
Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner required in Section 9.3 (Actions in
Respect of Letters of Credit)), then the Administrative Agent shall cause any
remaining funds in the Cash Collateral Account to be paid at the written
direction of the Borrower (or, in the absence of such direction, to the Borrower
or another Person lawfully entitled thereto).

(e) At any time during a Liquidity Event Period, subject to Section 2.9(d) all
amounts collected in the Concentration Account pursuant to Section 7.11 (Cash
Management) shall be applied on each Business Day by the Administrative Agent
first, to prepay the Loans (including Swing Loans) and then, if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to provide cash collateral for
any Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to 103% of such Letter of
Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of
Letters of Credit) until all such Letter of Credit Obligations have been fully
cash collateralized in the manner set forth therein. Following such application,
the Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 2.9(d) cause any remaining
funds in the Concentration Account to be paid at the written direction of the
Borrower (or, in the absence of such direction, to the Borrower or another
Person lawfully entitled thereto).

(f) If, at any time, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit
Outstandings exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments as then in
effect by greater than 5% for five consecutive Business Days solely due to
fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the Borrower shall within one Business
Day after the receipt of written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent
repay Loans (or provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in

Cash Management Obligations, as applicable, provide for the accrual of interest
on unpaid obligations) shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid
principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of
such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable
until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c)

(i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin;

(ii) each EURIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the EURIBOR
Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; and

(iii) each Base Rate Loan and other Obligation (at such time as they become due
and payable) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof
from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin.

For the avoidance of doubt, each Sterling Loan shall be a Eurocurrency Rate
Loan, and each Euro Loan shall be a EURIBOR Rate Loan.

(b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan (other than
Swing Loans) shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each
calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the making of such
Base Rate Loan and (B) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan, (ii) interest accrued on
Swing Loans shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of the
immediately succeeding calendar month, (iii) interest accrued on each
Eurocurrency Rate Loan and EURIBOR Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on
the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if such
Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each date during
such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such
Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part
and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or EURIBOR Rate Loan and (iv) interest
accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from
and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by
acceleration or otherwise).

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in
clause (a) above or elsewhere herein, upon (i) the occurrence of an Event of
Default specified in Section 9.1(a), (b), or (f) (Events of Default) and
(ii) the election of the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (in their
sole discretion) with respect to any other Event of Default (and following
written notice thereof to the Borrower) and for as long thereafter as such Event
of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and the
amount of all other Obligations then due and payable shall, commencing, in the
case of clause (i) above, on the date when the applicable Event of Default first
occurred and, in the case of clause (ii) above, on the date of delivery of the
written notice as provided therein, bear interest at a rate that is two percent
per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Loans or other
Obligations from time to time. Such interest shall be payable on the date that
would otherwise be applicable to such interest pursuant to clause (b) above or
otherwise on demand.

Section 2.11 Conversion/Continuation Option

(a) The Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day, to convert Base

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

TENET HEALTHCARE CORPORATION

 

Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (y) EURIBOR Rate Loans, or, in each case, any portion
thereof, for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the
aggregate amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or EURIBOR Rate Loans for each
Interest Period must be in the amount of the applicable Minimum Threshold. Each
conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Revolving
Credit Lender in accordance with such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion.
Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F (Form of
Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”)
and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business
Days’ prior written notice specifying (A) the amount and type of Loan being
converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans or EURIBOR Rate Loans, as applicable, the applicable
Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of such
conversion.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of
a Notice of Conversion or Continuation pursuant to Section 2.11(a) above and the
options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no conversion in
whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and no
continuation in whole or in part of Revolving Loans denominated in an
Alternative Currency (other than to Revolving Loans having an Interest Period of
one week or one month) upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period
shall be permitted at any time at which (A) a Default or an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) the continuation of, or conversion
into, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.14
(Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans). If, within the time
period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent
does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower
containing a permitted election to continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loans or
EURIBOR Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such
Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, (x) any
Dollar Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans, (y) any
Sterling Loans shall be automatically continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with
an Interest Period of one month and (z) any Euro Loans shall be automatically
continued as EURIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month. Each
Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable. During the existence
of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders may
require that any Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be
automatically continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans or EURIBOR Rate Loans, as
applicable, with an Interest Period of one month on the last day of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto.

Section 2.12 Fees

(a) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay in immediately available
Dollars to each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily
amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender
exceeds such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the sum of (i) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of Revolving
Loans and (ii) the outstanding amount of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate
Letter of Credit Obligations (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) from the date hereof
through the Revolving Credit Termination Date at the Unused Commitment Fee Rate,
payable in arrears (x) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter,
commencing on the first such Business Day following the Effective Date and
(b) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the following amounts with
respect to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer:

(i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuer of a Letter of
Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, an issuance
fee equal to 0.125% per annum (or such lesser rate as agreed between the
Borrower and such Issuer) of the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn face
amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the first Business
Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day
following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date;

(ii) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit
Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a fee accruing in Dollars at a
rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are
Eurocurrency Rate Loans on the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn face
amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the first Business
Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day
following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date; provided, however, that during the continuance of an Event of
Default (to the extent that additional interest accrues on the Loans or other
Obligations pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (Default Interest)), such fee shall be
increased by two percent per annum (instead of, and not in addition to, any
increase pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (Default Interest)) and shall be payable on
demand; and

(iii) to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the issuance,
amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder,
documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard
schedule for such charges in effect at the time of issuance, amendment, transfer
or drawing, as the case may be.

(c) Defaulting Lender Fees. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting
Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to
clauses (a) and (b) above (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other
than Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees) and, subject to the immediately
following proviso, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fees that
otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender;
provided, that (i) to the extent that a Ratable Portion of the Letter of Credit
Obligations or Swing Loans of such Defaulting Lender has been reallocated in
accordance with Section 2.19(a)(i) (Reallocation of Defaulting Lender
Commitments) to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, the fee accruing during such period
pursuant to clause (b) above will instead accrue for the benefit of and be
payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their
respective Revolving Credit Commitments, and (ii) to the extent any portion of
such Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Loans cannot be so reallocated to
such Non-Defaulting Lenders, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of
and be payable to the Issuer and the Swing Loan Lender as their interests appear
(and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.13 (Payments and Computations)
will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this
Section 2.12(c)).

(d) Additional Fees. The Borrower has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent
additional fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in the
Fee Letter.

Section 2.13 Payments and Computations

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses)
not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day when due, in the currency
of the underlying Loan (in the case of payments of principal and interest) and
in Dollars (in the case of fees and all other amount) to the Administrative
Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately
available funds without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating
to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with
the application of payments set forth in clause (f) or (g) below, as applicable,
for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided,
however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy),
Section 2.16 (Taxes) or Section 2.14(c) or (d) (Special Provisions Governing
Eurocurrency Rate Loans) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders
and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be paid only to the Swing
Loan Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New
York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

(b) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans determined by reference to
the rate of interest specified in clause (a) of the definition “Base Rate” shall
be made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and
actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made
on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more
fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a
365-day year) or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in
Euro as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with
such market practice. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a rate
of interest hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.

(c) Each payment by the Borrower of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation
(including interest or fees in respect thereof) and each reimbursement of
various costs, expenses or other Obligation shall be made in the currency in
which such Loan was made, such Letter of Credit issued or such cost, expense or
other Obligation was incurred; provided, however, that (i) the Letter of Credit
Reimbursement Agreement for a Letter of Credit may specify another currency for
the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) other
than for payments in respect of a Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, Loan
Documents duly executed by the Administrative Agent or any Hedging Contract may
specify other currencies of payment for Obligations created by or directly
related to such Loan Document or Hedging Contract.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than
a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be;
provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or
principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or EURIBOR Rate Loan to be made in the
next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day. All repayments of any Revolving Loans shall be applied as follows:
first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay
such Loans outstanding as Eurocurrency Rate Loans and EURIBOR Rate Loans,
ratably, with those Eurocurrency Rate Loans and EURIBOR Rate Loans having
earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later
expiring Interest Periods.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume
that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on
such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not
have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall
repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to
such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Rate for the
first Business Day and thereafter at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans) for
each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date
such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent
and applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (g) below (or required
to be applied in accordance with Section 2.9(b) or (d) (Mandatory Prepayments)),
all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or
for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay
principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the Administrative Agent
may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf
of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed
by such Lender or the Borrower, second, to pay all other Obligations then due
and payable and third, as the Borrower so designates. Payments in respect of
Swing Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the
Swing Loan Lender; payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the
Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Revolving Credit Lender in
accordance with such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion; and all payments
of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be
allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for
such payments allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders, in proportion to their
respective Ratable Portions.

(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.9(d) (Mandatory Prepayments)
above, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the
application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any
proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.9(b) (Mandatory Prepayments) and clause (f) above, the Administrative
Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders
or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies),
shall, deliver a Blockage Notice to each Deposit Account Bank for each Approved
Deposit Account and apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all
funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account and all other proceeds of
Collateral in the following order:

(i) first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Revolving
Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender
for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender
or the Borrower;

(ii) second, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements
or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;

(iii) third, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements
or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the Issuers;

(iv) fourth, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers;

(v) fifth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and
Reimbursement Obligations;

(vi) sixth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans and Reimbursement
Obligations, to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn
Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of
Credit), and to pay the Qualified Eligible Obligations, ratably to the aggregate
principal amount of such Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit
Undrawn Amounts, Cash Management Obligations, and Obligations owing with respect
to Hedging Contracts constituting Qualified Eligible Obligations;

(vii) seventh, to the ratable payment of all other Secured Obligations
(excluding the Last-Out Eligible Obligations); and

(viii) eighth, to pay the Last-Out Eligible Obligations;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all
payments to be made in respect of any Secured Obligation described in any of
clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) above the available
funds being applied with respect to any such Secured Obligation (unless
otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such
Secured Obligation ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative
Agent’s and each Lender’s or Issuer’s interest in the aggregate outstanding
Secured Obligations described in such clauses; provided, however, that payments
that would otherwise be allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be
allocated first to repay Protective Advances and Swing Loans pro rata until such
Protective Advances and Swing Loans are paid in full and then to repay the
Revolving Loans. The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii),
(iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) above may at any time and from time to time be
changed by the agreement of the Super-Majority Lenders without necessity of
notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Secured Party that is
not a Lender or Issuer or by any other Person that is not a Lender or Issuer.
The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above may
be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in
addition to that of the Super-Majority Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party shall not be
applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party.

(h) At the option of the Administrative Agent, principal on the Swing Loans,
Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees, expenses and other sums due and
payable in respect of the Revolving Loans and Protective Advances may be paid
from the proceeds of Swing Loans or Revolving Loans. The Borrower hereby
authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make such Swing Loans pursuant to
Section 2.3(a) (Swing Loans) and the Revolving Credit Lenders to make such
Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (Borrowing Procedures) from time to
time in the amounts of any and all principal payable with respect to the Swing
Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees, expenses and other sums
payable in respect of the Revolving Loans and Protective Advances, and further
authorizes the Administrative Agent to give the Lenders notice of any Borrowing
with respect to such Swing Loans and Revolving Loans and to distribute the
proceeds of such Swing Loans and Revolving Loans to pay such amounts. The
Borrower agrees that all such Swing Loans and Revolving Loans so made shall be
deemed to have been requested by it (irrespective of the satisfaction of the
conditions in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of
Credit), which conditions the Lenders irrevocably waive) and directs that all
proceeds thereof shall be used to pay such amounts.

(i) If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed
to have assigned any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any
proceeds of Collateral due to it from and for the benefit of the Borrower to the
Non-Defaulting Lenders for application to, and reduction of, the Non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Ratable Portion of all Obligations until such Non-Defaulting Lenders
have been repaid in full. Each Defaulting Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the Non-Defaulting Lenders
in accordance with Section 2.8 (Optional Prepayments), Section 2.9 (Mandatory
Prepayments) and this Section 2.13. This Section 2.13(i) shall (i) apply at any
time such Lender is a Defaulting Lender and be effective regardless of whether
an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing and notwithstanding (1) any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (2) any instruction of the
Borrower as to its desired application of payments and (ii) not be deemed to
relieve or otherwise release the Borrower or any other Loan Party from any of
its Obligations due or owing to any Lender, including a Defaulting Lender.

(j) In the event that any Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 6.9(a) (Borrowing Base Determination) for any period (an “Applicable
Period”) is determined to be inaccurate in any material respect, then (i) the
Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected and
accurate Borrowing Base Certificate as required by Section 6.9(a) (Borrowing
Base Determination) for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin
(including for the purposes of Section 2.12(b)(ii) (Letter of Credit Fees) and
Unused Commitment Fee Rate for the relevant Applicable Period shall equal the
Applicable Margin and Unused Commitment Fee Rate calculated based upon such
corrected Borrowing Base Certificate, and (iii) the Borrower shall immediately
pay to the Administrative Agent the amount, if any, by which (x) the amount of
accrued interest, Unused Commitment Fees and fees due pursuant to
Section 2.12(b)(ii) (Letter of Credit Fees) for such Applicable Period,
determined based on such corrected Borrowing Base Certificate, exceeds (y) the
amount of interest, Unused Commitment Fee and fees due pursuant to
Section 2.12(b)(ii) (Letter of Credit Fees) paid to the Lenders for such
Applicable Period. Nothing in this Section 2.13(j) shall limit the right of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender under Section 2.10(c) (Default Interest) or
Article IX (Events of Default).

Section 2.14 Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans and EURIBOR
Rate Loans

(a) Determination of Interest Rate

The Eurocurrency Rate and EURIBOR Rate for each Interest Period for Eurocurrency
Rate Loans and EURIBOR Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurocurrency

determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be
binding on the Borrower.

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

TENET HEALTHCARE CORPORATION

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents (including Section 11.1 hereof), if prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a EURIBOR Borrowing or Eurocurrency Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error), or the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with
a copy to the Borrower) that the Requisite Lenders have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining EURIBOR Rate or
Eurocurrency Rate for the applicable currency for any requested Interest Period
because the Screen Rate for the applicable currency is not available or
published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary

(ii) the administrator of the Screen Rate for the applicable currency or a
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has
made a public statement identifying a specific date after which EURIBOR Rate or
Eurocurrency Rate for the applicable currency or the Screen Rate for the
applicable currency shall no longer be made available, or used for determining
the interest rate of loans denominated in the applicable currency (such specific
date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language
similar to that contained in this Section 2.14(b), are being executed or amended
(as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace
EURIBOR Rate or Eurocurrency Rate for the applicable currency;

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent
or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace
EURIBOR Rate or Eurocurrency Rate for the applicable currency with an alternate
benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark
(if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then
existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities denominated in the
applicable currency for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a
“EURIBOR/Eurocurrency Successor Rate”), together with any proposed
EURIBOR/Eurocurrency Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment
shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day
after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all
Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the
Requisite Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that
such Requisite Lenders do not accept such amendment. Such EURIBOR/Eurocurrency
Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice;
provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively
feasible for the Administrative Agent, such EURIBOR/Eurocurrency Successor Rate
shall be applied in a manner as mutually agreed between the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower.

If no EURIBOR/Eurocurrency Successor Rate has been determined and the
circumstances under clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date
has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify
the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make
or maintain EURIBOR Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the applicable
currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected EURIBOR Rate Loans,
Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in the applicable currency
(to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or,
failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of EURIBOR/Eurocurrency
Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such EURIBOR/Eurocurrency
Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Increased Costs

If at any time any Revolving Credit Lender determines that any Change in Law
shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Revolving Credit Lender of
agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loans
or EURIBOR Rate Loans (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes), then
the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Revolving Credit
Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Revolving Credit Lender additional
amounts sufficient to compensate such Revolving Credit Lender for such increased
cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for the amount so determined, submitted to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Revolving Credit Lender, shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required
to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan or EURIBOR Rate Loan equal to
the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as
determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be
required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement
of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in
respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency
Rate Loans or EURIBOR Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a
percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five
decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Revolving Credit
Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith,
which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each
case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such
Loan, provided, however, the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’
prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a request to be paid
such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10
days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest shall
be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.14(c) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one
hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or
notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor;
provided, that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or
reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.14(c) (Increased Costs) shall
survive payment in full of the Obligations or the termination of this Agreement.

(d) Illegality

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Revolving Credit
Lender determines that any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any central
bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any
Revolving Credit Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to make Eurocurrency
Rate Loans or its EURIBOR Lending Office to make EURIBOR Rate Loans or to
continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans or EURIBOR Rate Loans, as
applicable, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Revolving Credit
Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of
such Revolving Credit Lender to make or to continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or
EURIBOR Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans
shall be suspended, and each such Revolving Credit Lender shall make a Base Rate
Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated
in Dollars and (ii) if the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans and EURIBOR Rate
Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately convert each such
Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If, at any time after a Revolving Credit Lender
gives notice under this clause (d), such Revolving Credit Lender determines that
it may lawfully make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or EURIBOR Rate Loans, such
Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower’s right to
request, and such Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation, if any, to make
Eurocurrency Rate Loans or EURIBOR Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.14(d) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one
hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or
notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor;
provided, that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or
reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Breakage Costs

In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.10 (Interest), the Borrower shall compensate each Revolving Credit
Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any
loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
deposits or other funds acquired by such Revolving Credit Lender to fund or
maintain such Revolving Credit Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans or EURIBOR Rate
Loans to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the
relevant Loans) that such Revolving Credit Lender may sustain (i) if for any
reason (other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Defaulting Lender) a
proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
or EURIBOR Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of
Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower or in
a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a
successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given
pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option), (ii) if for any
reason any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or EURIBOR Rate Loans is prepaid (including
mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments)) on a date that is
not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a
required conversion of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result
of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a consequence of
any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurocurrency Rate Loans or EURIBOR Rate
Loans when required by the terms hereof. The Revolving Credit Lender making
demand for such

compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a
written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the amount so
determined as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall
be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Revolving Credit
Lender, absent manifest error. The Borrower’s obligations under this
Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs) shall survive payment in full of the
Obligations or the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.15 Capital Adequacy

If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of, or any Change in
Law after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date regarding capital adequacy or
liquidity requirements, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule,
regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive
from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the
force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence
of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a
level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but
for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from
time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative
Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to
such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such
Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.
The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) shall
survive payment in full of the Obligations or the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.16 Taxes

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Lender” includes
any Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

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

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the
option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any
Other Taxes.

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

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any
Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any
Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such
Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do
so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the
provisions of Section 11.2(g) (Assignments and Participations) relating to the
maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable
to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative
Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any
Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any
and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or
otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other
source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph
(e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by
any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, such
Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified
copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment,
a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation
set forth in Section 2.16(g)(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:

(A) any Lender that is a Domestic Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative 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 Administrative Agent), executed copies
of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) 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 Administrative
Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

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

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies
of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S.
Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit
L-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 L-4 on behalf of
each such direct and indirect partner;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

TENET HEALTHCARE CORPORATION

 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) 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 Administrative
Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding
Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the
Amendment No. 3 Effective Date.

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 Administrative
Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole
discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes
as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 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 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 (h) (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay
any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment
of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable

 

83

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax
subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted,
withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional
amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not
be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns
(or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to
the indemnifying party or any other Person.

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

(j) FATCA Grandfathering. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed
under FATCA, from and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent to treat) all the Loans and Letters of Credit as not
qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

Section 2.17 Substitution of Lenders

(a) In the event that (i) any Revolving Credit Lender makes a claim under
Section 2.14(c) (Increased Costs) or 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), (ii) it becomes
illegal for any Revolving Credit Lender to continue to fund or make any
Eurocurrency Rate Loan or EURIBOR Rate Loans and such Revolving Credit Lender
notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(d) (Illegality), (iii) any Loan
Party is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes) that is
attributable to a particular Revolving Credit Lender or (iv) any Revolving
Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender, an “Affected
Lender”), the Borrower may substitute any Lender and, if reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent, any other Eligible Assignee (a “Substitute
Institution”) for such Affected Lender hereunder, after delivery of a written
notice (a “Substitution Notice”) by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and
the Affected Lender within a reasonable time (in any case not to exceed 90 days)
following the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i) through
(iv) above that the Borrower intends to make such substitution; provided,
however, that, if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or
right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are
received by the Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the Borrower may
substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrower has already
substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the Borrower’s receipt of the
other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims.

(b) If the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the
Affected Lender shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall purchase, all
rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents, and the
Substitute Institution shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be relieved
of, the Affected Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments and all other prior
unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other
than in respect of any damages(which, pursuant to Section 11.5 (Limitation of
Liability), do not include exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent
permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations).
Such purchase and sale (and the corresponding assignment of all rights and
claims hereunder) shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the
Administrative Agent and shall be effective on (and not earlier than) the later
of (i) the receipt by the Affected Lender of its Ratable Portion of the
Revolving Credit

TENET HEALTHCARE CORPORATION

 

Outstandings, together with any other Obligations owing to it, (ii) the receipt
by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to it and the Borrower whereby the Substitute Institution shall agree to be
bound by the terms hereof and (iii) the payment in full to the Affected Lender
in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and
unpaid through such effective date. Upon the effectiveness of such sale,
purchase and assumption, the Substitute Institution shall become a “Lender”
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having a Revolving Credit
Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment
assumed by it and such Revolving Credit Commitment of the Affected Lender shall
be terminated; provided, however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents
shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender.

Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees that, if it becomes an Affected Lender and
its rights and claims are assigned hereunder to a Substitute Institution
pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such assignment,
together with any Revolving Credit Note (if such Loans are evidenced by a
Revolving Credit Note) evidencing the Loans subject to such Assignment and
Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to
execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid.

Section 2.18 Incremental Facility

(a) The Borrower may from time to time after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date
request one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments (each, a
“Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”); provided, however, that (i) the
aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Commitment Increases shall not exceed
$500,000,000, (ii) no Revolving Credit Commitment Increases shall be requested
later than six months prior to the Scheduled Termination Date, (iii) each
Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be in an amount not less than
$25,000,000 and (iv) any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be permitted
by the terms of the Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Notes. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to obligate the Administrative Agent, any Arranger
or any Lender to negotiate for, solicit, provide or commit to provide any
Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. Following the receipt by the
Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s request to obtain a Revolving Credit
Commitment Increase, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
of such proposed Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and of the proposed terms
and conditions therefor as provided in the Borrower’s notice with respect
thereto. Each such Lender (and each of their Affiliates and Approved Funds) may,
in its sole discretion, commit to participate in such Revolving Credit
Commitment Increases by forwarding its commitment therefor to the Administrative
Agent in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall allocate the commitment under such
Revolving Credit Commitment Increase among the Lenders and other Eligible
Assignees from which the Administrative Agent has received written commitments
with respect thereto. Each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall become
effective on a date agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each,
an “Incremental Credit Extension Date”), which shall be in any case on or after
the date of satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.5
(Conditions Precedent to Each Incremental Credit Extension Date). The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Borrower, on or before
11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following an Incremental
Credit Extension Date of the effectiveness of a Revolving Credit Commitment
Increase and shall record in the Register all applicable additional information
in respect of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

(b) (i) The commitments under each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be
deemed for all purposes part of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) each
Lender or Eligible Assignee participating in such Revolving Credit Commitment
Increase shall become a Revolving Credit Lender with respect to the Revolving
Credit Commitments and all matters relating thereto and (iii) the commitments
under each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall have the same terms and
conditions as the Revolving Credit Commitments. On the Incremental Credit
Extension Date for any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, each Lender or
Eligible Assignee participating in such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase
shall purchase and assume from each existing Revolving Credit Lender having
Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans
outstanding on such Incremental Credit Extension Date, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such
Lender’s Ratable Portion of the new Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving
effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase), in the aggregate
outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing
Loans, so as to ensure that, on the Incremental Credit Extension Date after
giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, each Revolving
Lender is owed only its Ratable Portion of the Revolving Loans and
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans outstanding on such
Incremental Credit Extension Date.

Section 2.19 Defaulting Lender.

(a) Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitments. If a Lender becomes, and
during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions
shall apply with respect to any outstanding and future Letter of Credit
Obligations and Swing Loans:

(i) in the case of each Defaulting Lender, the Ratable Portion of such
Defaulting Lender with respect to any such outstanding and future Letter of
Credit Obligations and Swing Loans will, subject to the limitation in the first
proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the date such Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Revolving Credit Lenders that are
Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’
respective Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (A) no Default or Event
of Default shall be continuing at the time of such reallocation, (B) the sum of
each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit
Outstandings may not in any event exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such
Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (C) neither
such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto
will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, any Issuer, any Swing Loan Lender or any other Lender may
have against such Defaulting Lender, or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a
Non-Defaulting Lender and (D) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2
(Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) are satisfied at the
time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise
notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time);

(ii) in the case of each Defaulting Lender, to the extent that any portion (the
“unreallocated portion”) of the Ratable Portion of such Defaulting Lender with
respect to any such outstanding and future Letter of Credit Obligations and
Swing Loans cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in
clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than 5 Business Days
after demand by the

Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Issuer and/or the Swing Loan
Lender, as the case may be), (A) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the
Borrower to the Issuer and the Swing Loan Lender in respect of such Letter of
Credit Obligations or Swing Loans, or (B) in the case of Swing Loans, prepay
(subject to clause (iii) below) and/or Cash Collateralize in full the
unreallocated portion thereof, or (C) make other arrangements reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuer and the Swing Loan
Lender, as the case may be, in their reasonable discretion, to protect them
against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and

(iii) in the case of each Defaulting Lender, any payment of principal, interest,
fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article IX (Events of Default) or otherwise) or received by the Administrative
Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.6 (Right of Set-Off) shall
be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative
Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; second, to the payment
on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuer
or any Swing Loan lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Lenders’
Letters of Credit with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the
Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the
funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to
fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to
(x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with
respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuer’s
future Letters of Credit with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to
future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of
any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuers or Swing Loan Lenders as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the
Issuers or Swing Loan Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of
competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the
principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of
which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and
(y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time
when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions to Each Loan and Letter
of Credit) were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay
the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans
of, or Letter of Credit Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such
time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit
Obligations and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with
the Revolving Credit Commitments without giving effect to this Section 2.19. Any
payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender
that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post
cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19(a)(iii) shall be deemed paid to
and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents
hereto.

(b) Right to Give Drawdown Notices. In furtherance of the foregoing, if any
Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender and the
Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize or prepay its obligations in respect of
Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Loans within 5 Business Days after demand
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 2.19(a)(ii) (Defaulting
Lender), any Issuer or Swing Loan Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower
(which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in
its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant
to Section 2.2 (Borrowing Procedures) in such amounts and in such times as may
be required to (i) pay matured Reimbursement Obligations, (ii) repay an
outstanding Swing Loan, and/or (iii) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the
Borrower in respect of Letters of Credit Obligations or Swing Loans in an amount
at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or
otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit or
Swing Loan.

(c) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitments. The Borrower may terminate the
unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than 10
Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (who will promptly
notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.13
(Payments and Computations) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the
Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether
on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided,
that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer, the Swing Loan Lenders or
any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(d) Cure. If the Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the Swing Loan
Lenders, as applicable, agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that
is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, as
the case may be, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto,
whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any
conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any
amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.19(a)
(Defaulting Lender)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such
portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders at par and/or make such other
adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause
such Lender’s Ratable Portion to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their
respective Commitment, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender and will become a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments
will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or
on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender and
provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
affected parties and subject to Section 11.22 (Acknowledgement and Consent to
Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions), no change hereunder from Defaulting
Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim
of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

Loans

In addition to the other conditions precedent herein set forth, if any Lender
becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the Issuer will
not be required to Issue any Letter of Credit or to amend any outstanding Letter
of Credit to increase the face amount thereof, alter the drawing terms
thereunder or extend the expiry date thereof, and the Swing Loan Lender will not
agree to make any Swing Loan, unless the Administrative Agent and the Swing Loan
Lender or the Issuer, as the case may be, is satisfied that any exposure that
would result therefrom is eliminated or fully covered by the Revolving Credit
Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or by Cash Collateralization or a
combination thereof, in accordance with the following:

(a) in the case of each Defaulting Lender, the Ratable Portion of such
Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit Obligations and any

obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of
such Letter of Credit or Swing Loan, or makes other arrangements satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the Swing Loan Lender in their sole
discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting
Lender; and

a Letter of Credit or making of a Swing Loan, the Borrower agrees by an
instrument or instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, and the Issuer and the Swing Loan Lender, as the case may
be, that the face amount of such requested Letter of Credit or the principal
amount of such requested Swing Loan will be reduced by an amount equal to the
unreallocated, non-Cash Collateralized portion thereof as to which such
Defaulting Lender would otherwise be liable, in which case the obligations of
the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swing Loan
will, subject to the first proviso below, be on a pro rata basis in accordance
with the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and the pro
rata payment provisions of Section 2.13 (Payments and Computations) will be
deemed adjusted to reflect this provision;

provided, that (i) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Portion of
the Obligations may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such
Non-Defaulting Lender, and (ii) neither any such reallocation nor any payment by
a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto nor any such Cash Collateralization or
reduction will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuer, the Swing Loan Lender or any other Lender may
have against such Defaulting Lender, or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a
Non-Defaulting Lender.

During the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent
(a) may, and, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, shall, by notice to the
Borrower declare that all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments be
terminated, whereupon the obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender to make any
Loan and each Issuer to Issue any Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate
and (b) may, and, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, shall, by notice to
the Borrower, declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts and
Obligations payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable,
whereupon the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations
shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived
by the Borrower; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of the Events of
Default specified in Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), (x) the Revolving
Credit Commitments of each Revolving Credit Lender to make Loans and the
commitments of each Revolving Credit Lender and Issuer to Issue or participate
in Letters of Credit shall each automatically be terminated and (y) the Loans,
all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall automatically
become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. In
addition to the remedies set forth above, the Administrative Agent may exercise
any remedies provided for by the Collateral Documents in accordance with the
terms thereof or any other remedies provided by applicable law.

Section 9.3 Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit

At any time (i) upon the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) after the
Revolving Credit Termination Date when the aggregate funds on deposit in Cash
Collateral Accounts shall be less than 103% of the Letter of Credit Obligations,
(iii) as may be required by Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments), the Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the
Administrative Agent’s office referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), for
deposit in a Cash Collateral Account, (x) in the case of clauses (i) and
(ii) above, the amount required to that, after such payment, the aggregate funds
on deposit in the Cash Collateral Accounts equals or exceeds 103% of the sum of
all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and (y) in the case of clause (iii)
above, the amount required by Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments). The
Administrative Agent may, from time to time after funds are deposited in any

to the payment of any amounts, in accordance with Section 2.9(d) (Mandatory
Prepayments) and Section 2.13(g) (Payments and Computations), as shall have
become or shall become due and payable by the Borrower to the Issuers or Lenders
in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly give written notice of any such application; provided, however, that
the failure to give such written notice shall not invalidate any such
application.

Section 9.4 Rescission

If at any time after termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or
acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of
interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans and Reimbursement
Obligations that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with
interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest,
at the rates specified herein) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other
than non-payment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and
payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant

written notice to the Borrower, the termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and
annulled; provided, however, that such action shall not affect any subsequent
Event of Default or Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.
The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders
and the Issuers to a decision that may be made at the election of the Requisite
Lenders, and such provisions are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not
give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any
acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

Effective Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and
the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal
authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic
Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuers and each
Group Member acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through

Section 10.5 Lender Credit Decision

Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, conduct its
own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the
Borrower and each other Loan Party in connection with the making and continuance
of the Loans and with the issuance of the Letters of Credit. Each Lender and
each Issuer also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and
other Loan Documents. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan
Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or the
Issuers, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to
provide any Lender or any Issuer with any credit or other information concerning
the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party that may
come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof or
any employee or agent of any of the foregoing.

Section 10.6 Indemnification

Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and
each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower),
from and against such Revolving Credit Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion of any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses
and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature
whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that
no Revolving Credit Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such
Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the
foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative
Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses
(including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors)
incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal
advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or another Loan Party.

Section 10.7 Successor Administrative Agent

thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the

Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and
shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders. In either case, such
appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower
(which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and
become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take
such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor
Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall
continue to have the benefit of this Article X as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, if a Revolving Lender becomes, and during the
period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower shall not have
satisfied its obligations set forth in Section 2.19 (Defaulting Lender), the
Issuer and/or the Swing Loan Lender may, upon prior written notice to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as Issuer or Swing Loan Lender,
respectively, effective at the close of business New York time on a date
specified in such notice (which date may not be less than 30 days after the date
of such notice); provided, that such resignation by the Issuer will have no
effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then
outstanding or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this
Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to
the Issuer; and provided further, that such resignation by the Swing Loan Lender
will have no effect on its rights in respect of any outstanding Swing Loans or
on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with
respect to any such outstanding Swing Loan.

Section 10.8 Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents

(a) Each Lender and each Issuer agrees that any action taken by the
Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express
terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the
exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where so
required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be
authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured

Borrower and the Administrative Agent may enter into any amendment necessary to
implement the terms of a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement without the consent of any Lender.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the
written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or

in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No
notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or
termination requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of
Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of other Revolving Credit Lenders
whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Revolving Credit Lender
whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1 being referred

hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all
Loans held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect
thereto through the date of the sale. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees that,
if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment an Acceptance to evidence such sale and
purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Revolving Credit Note
(if the assigning Revolving Credit Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Revolving
Credit Note) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that
the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance
shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment)
invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and
waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other
extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in
determining whether the Requisite Lenders, Super-Majority Lenders or all of the
Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the
definition of “Requisite Lenders” and “Super-Majority Lenders” will
automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period);
provided, that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the
term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the
payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder,
reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender,
reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to
such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender
hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such
Defaulting Lender.

(e) No Real Property shall be taken as Collateral unless the Lenders receive 45
days advance notice and each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent that it
has completed all flood due diligence, received copies of all flood insurance
documentation and confirmed flood insurance compliance as required by the Flood
Laws or as otherwise satisfactory to such Lender. At any time that any Real
Property constitutes Collateral, no modification of a Loan Document shall add,
increase, renew or extend any loan, commitment or credit line hereunder until
the completion of flood due diligence, documentation and coverage as required by
the Flood Laws or as otherwise satisfactory to all Lenders.

Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations

(a) Each Revolving Credit Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one
or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the
Revolving Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit); provided, however,
that (i) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Revolving Credit
Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, such
assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the
aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as
of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment)
shall in no event (if less than the assignor’s entire interest) be less than
$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except, in
either case, (A) with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved
Fund of such Lender and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the
date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender,
such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower and each Issuer (which consent of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and each Issuer shall each not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed); provided, however, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented
to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the
Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days of having received notice thereof;
and provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 11.2, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any
assignment occurring when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. In addition, any Lender may make, carry or transfer Revolving Loans
at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an

recording in the Register of any Assignment and Acceptance and, other than in
respect of assignments made pursuant to Section 2.17 (Substitution of Lenders)
and Section 11.1(c) (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), the receipt by the

Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the
extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned
to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender and, if such Revolving Credit Lender
were an Issuer, of such Issuer hereunder and thereunder, (ii) the Revolving
Credit Notes (if any) corresponding to the Loans assigned thereby shall be
transferred to such assignee by notation in the Register and (iii) the assignor
thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement
have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish
its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations)
and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those
relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in
the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion
of an assigning Revolving Credit Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents, such Revolving Credit Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered
to and accepted by it and shall record in the Register the names and addresses
of the Lenders and Issuers and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the
Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time and
the Revolving Credit Commitments of each Lender. Any assignment pursuant to this
Section 11.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the
Register.

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Revolving Credit Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such
Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and
Acceptance, (ii) record or cause to be recorded the information contained
therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.
Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its
own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, new Revolving Credit Notes to such assignee in an amount
equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Revolving Credit Lender has
surrendered any Revolving Credit Note for exchange in connection with the
assignment and has retained Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, new
Revolving Credit Notes to the assigning Revolving Credit Lender in an amount
equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments retained by it hereunder. Such new
Revolving Credit Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Revolving
Credit Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit B (Form of Revolving
Credit Note).

each Revolving Credit Lender may do each of the following:

(i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any
Loan that such Revolving Credit Lender would otherwise be required to make
hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle
and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent
that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Revolving Credit Lender to make
such Loans thereunder, provided, however, that (x) nothing herein shall
constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle
to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for
any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such
Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in
accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (y) such Lender’s obligations
under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain
responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under
the terms of this Agreement and shall remain the holder of the Obligations for
all purposes hereunder; and

(ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of
principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice to or consent of the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower, any Federal Reserve Bank (pursuant to
Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) and (B) without consent of the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower, (1) any holder of, or trustee for the
benefit of, the holders of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Securities and (2) any
Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Revolving Credit Lender has granted an
option pursuant to clause (i) above;

provided, however, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Revolving
Credit Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided
in clause (i) above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant
to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with
the other provisions of this Section 11.2 other than this clause (e) or clause
(f) below. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date
that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such
party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to
this clause (e) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation
proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations). The terms of the designation of, or assignment to, such Special
Purpose Vehicle shall not restrict such Lender’s ability to, or grant such
Special Purpose Vehicle the right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or to the departure by the Borrower from
any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent
of such Special Purpose Vehicle except, as long as the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties shall continue to, and shall be
entitled to continue to, deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such
consent would reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any
Obligations, amend this clause (e) or postpone any scheduled date of payment of
such principal or interest. Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) and of
Section 2.14(d) (Illegality) as if it were such Lender;

provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no
Borrower shall, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.15 (Capital
Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes) or 2.14(d) (Illegality) to any such Special Purpose
Vehicle and any such Lender any payment in excess of the amount the Borrower
would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest if
such Special Purpose Vehicle had not been assigned the rights of such Lender
hereunder; and provided, further, that such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have
no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

(f) Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights
and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit). The
terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s
consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of
any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or
to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender
may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to
enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment,
waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone
any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable
to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would
otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of
all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with
Section 10.8(b) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents). In the
event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s
obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such
obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all
purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(g) Any Issuer may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
any other Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.7(c) (Evidence of Debt) relating to notations of
transfer in the Register. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by
virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, as of the
effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of
Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit) shall terminate and such
Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of
Credit issued prior to such date.

Section 11.3 Costs and Expenses

(a) The Borrower agrees upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative
Agent and each Arranger for, all of the Administrative Agent’s or such
Arranger’s, as the case may be, reasonable internal and external audit, legal,
appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and

(c) The Borrower, at the request of any Indemnitee, shall have the obligation to
defend against any investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial
Action, in each case contemplated in clause (a) above, and the Borrower, in any
event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of the

defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested
Remedial Action, the Borrower shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall
have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense.
No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against
any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action,
shall vitiate or in any way impair the Borrower’s obligation and duty hereunder
to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.

(d) The Borrower agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to
any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this
Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of
the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time
an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.5 Limitation of Liability

(a) The Borrower agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in
contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan
Documents and Related Documents, except to the extent such liability is
determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on
any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or
anticipated savings). The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for
itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and
whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(b) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT AFFILIATE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY,
LENDER, ISSUER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES
(WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY
AGENT AFFILIATE’S TRANSMISSION OF APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE
INTERNET OR ANY USE OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
SUCH LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT AFFILIATE IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE
JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM
SUCH AGENT AFFILIATE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

Section 11.6 Right of Set-off

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and so
long as the Requisite Lenders have requested that the Administrative Agent
declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable pursuant to
Section 9.2, or the Obligations have become immediately due and payable without
notice pursuant to Section 9.2, then each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at
any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the
account of any Group Member against any and all of the Obligations now or
hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may
be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such
set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.6
are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of
set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 11.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) If any Revolving Credit Lender (directly or through an Affiliate thereof)
obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any
right of set-off (including pursuant to Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off)) or
otherwise) of the Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect
thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses) or 11.4
(Indemnities) (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions
Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans), 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes)) or
otherwise receives any Collateral or any “Proceeds” (as defined in the Security
Agreement) of Collateral (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14 (Special
Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans), 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or
2.16 (Taxes)) (in each case, whether voluntary, involuntary, through the
exercise of any right of set-off (including pursuant to Section 11.6 (Right of
Set-off)) or otherwise) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such
Obligations obtained by all the Revolving Credit Lenders, such Revolving Credit
Lender (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders
(each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other
Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the
excess payment ratably with each of them.

(b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is
thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each
Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the
Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together
with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in
relation to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of
any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Purchasing Lender in respect
of the total amount so recovered.

(c) The Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation
from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 11.7 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the
direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and
remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions
between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other,
and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no
Lender Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any
Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto)
or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Party has
advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders
or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party
except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each
Lender Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of
any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.
Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and
financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is
responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such
transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it
will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any
nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in
connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 11.21 Special Provisions Relating to Certain Currencies

(a) All funds to be made available to Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Agreement in Euros or Sterling shall be made available to Administrative Agent
in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds to such account
with such bank in such principal financial center in such Participating Member
State (or London) as Administrative Agent shall from time to time nominate for
this purpose.

(b) In relation to the payment of any amount denominated in Euros or Sterling,
the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Loan Party or any of the
Lenders for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any
account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by Administrative
Agent if Administrative Agent shall have taken all relevant and necessary steps
to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount
in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in Euros or
Sterling) to the account with the bank in the principal financial center in the
Participating Member State which the Borrower or, as the case may be, any Lender
shall have specified for such purpose. In this Section 11.21, “all relevant
steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the
regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as
Administrative Agent may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing
or settling payments of Euros or Sterling. Furthermore, and without limiting the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Loan Party or any
of the Lenders with respect to the foregoing matters except to the extent
resulting from (x) its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as
determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction (or pursuant to a binding arbitration award or as otherwise agreed
in writing by the affected parties) or (y) a breach of any obligations under any
Loan Document by the Administrative Agent or of any affiliate, director,
officer, employee, agent, trustee or advisor of the Administrative Agent as
determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction (or pursuant to a binding arbitration award or as otherwise agreed
in writing by the affected parties).

(c) If for purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to
convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto
agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of
exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with such other
currency at the spot rate of exchange quoted by the Administrative Agent at
11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final
judgment is given, for the purchase of Dollars for delivery two Business Days
thereafter. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from
it to any Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”)
other than that in which sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to
the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative
Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the
Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase
the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the
Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against
such loss.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other
agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party
hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is
unsecured (all such liabilities, the “Covered Liabilities”), may be subject to
the Write-Down and Conversion Powers and agrees and consents to, and
acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers to any such Covered
Liability arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an
EEA Financial Institution; and

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

(i) A reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such Covered
Liability;

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

Section 11.23 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs

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

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a
“Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution
Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit
Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such
QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or
such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same
extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution
Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest,

obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United
States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC
Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S.
Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might
otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be
exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater
extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special
Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by
the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without
limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and
remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event
affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any
QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 11.23, the following terms have the following
meanings:

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

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

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

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

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

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

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