Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding
which, when added to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations
then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment; provided, that no Lender shall make Revolving Loans to any Borrower
during the Suspension Period. During the Revolving Commitment Period the
Borrowers may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the
Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be
Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the applicable Borrower and
notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.7.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall
the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Maximum Permitted
Outstanding Amount.
2.2    Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. Any Borrower may borrow under the
Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period (but not during the
Suspension Period) on any Business Day, provided that the applicable Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time,
(a) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date (or, with respect
to any such borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, such later date agreed to
by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), in the case of Eurodollar
Loans, or (b) on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans),
specifying (i) the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the
requested Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the
respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the
initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments
shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $1,000,000 or a
whole multiple thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving
Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from a Borrower, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender
will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Borrower at the Funding
Office prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested
by such Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.
Such borrowing will then be made available to the applicable Borrower by the
Administrative Agent crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of such
office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative
Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent.
2.3    Commitment Fees. (a) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee
for the period from and including the date hereof to the last day of the

period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee
Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.
For the avoidance of doubt, the commitment fees shall continue to accrue and be
payable during a Suspension Period.

(b) Suspension Period Fee. Upon the delivery of a Suspension Notice to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.23(b), the Parent Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender, a
fee (the “Suspension Fee”) in an aggregate amount equal to 0.25% of the
Revolving Commitment (or, in the event no Revolving Commitments are outstanding
on the delivery date of the Suspension Notice, the Revolving Extensions of
Credit) of such Lender on the first day of the Suspension Period. The Suspension
Fee is earned on the first day of the Suspension Period and due and payable in
full on the first Business Day after the first day of the Suspension Period, if
any.
(cb) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in
the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the
Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein.
2.4    Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Parent Borrower
shall have the right at any time, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice
to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from
time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that
no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if,
after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made
on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would
exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount
equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently
the Revolving Commitments then in effect.
2.5    Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time
prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon
irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00
Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date
of such prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the
date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans
or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other
than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable
Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15. Upon receipt
of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant
Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice
shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in
the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on
the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any notice of prepayment delivered in connection with any refinancing
or prepayment of all of the Revolving Facility with the proceeds of Indebtedness
or other transaction to be incurred or consummated substantially simultaneously
with such refinancing or prepayment, may be, if expressly stated in such notice
of prepayment, contingent upon the consummation of such transactions and may be
revoked by the applicable Borrower in the event the incurrence of such
transaction is not consummated.
2.6    Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) If for any reason
the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceeds the lesser of (x) the Total
Revolving Commitments then in effect and (y) the Maximum Permitted Outstanding
Amount, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the applicable Loans in an
aggregate amount equal to such excess.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) [Reserved]On March 31, 2021, the Total Revolving Commitments shall be
reduced automatically to $400,000,000 and, concurrently with such reduction, the
Borrowers shall make any

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

53

prepayment of Loans (and, if applicable, cash collateralize outstanding Letters
of Credit), in each case, to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.6(e) as a
result of such reduction.
(d) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred pursuant to Section 7.2(h), an amount
equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be immediately applied
toward the prepayment of the Loans.
(e) Any reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be accompanied by
prepayment of the Revolving Loans to the extent, if any, that the Total
Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the amount of the Total Revolving
Commitments as so reduced, provided that if the aggregate principal amount of
Revolving Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of such excess (because
L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrowers shall, to the
extent of the balance of such excess, cash collateralize on or prior to the date
of such reduction (in the manner described in Section 3.9) or replace
outstanding Letters of Credit. The application of any prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.6 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans.
Each prepayment of the Revolving Loans under Section 2.6 (except in the case of
Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to
the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.
(f) At any time during the Suspension Period and upon the occurrence of any of
the following events, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans at par plus
accrued and unpaid interest, in each case, on a dollar-for-dollar basis within
one Business Day of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, in an amount equal to:
(i) 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of (a) any Disposition of assets (other than
from (I) casualty or condemnation events, (II) any intercompany transfers,
provided proceeds from transfers of assets from Loan Parties to non-Loan Parties
will not be so excluded, (III) other Dispositions of assets not to exceed
$50,000,000 in the aggregate for all such Dispositions, (IV) dispositions of
worn out, surplus or obsolete equipment in the ordinary course of business and
(V) Dispositions of assets the proceeds of which are to be applied to finance
the acquisition of assets in respect of which the obligation to make such
acquisition was incurred prior to the commencement of the Suspension Period (and
was not incurred in contemplation thereof)) by the Parent Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (or, in the case of any non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Parent
Borrower, the applicable parent’s allocable share of such proceeds) and (b) any
Designated Asset Sales.
(ii) 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of incurrences of Indebtedness of the Parent
Borrower or its Subsidiaries other than (i) any intercompany Indebtedness of the
Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any re-financing of existing
Indebtedness not increasing the existing amount (or commitments, if applicable)
thereof in excess of the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced,
plus accrued interest, fees, premiums and refinancing expenses, (iii)
Subscription Line Indebtedness, (iv) Indebtedness incurred pursuant to debt
facility commitments in existence prior to the commencement of the Suspension
Period (and not incurred in contemplation thereof) and any replacement or
refinancing thereof not increasing the amount (or amount of commitments, as
applicable) thereof and (v) Indebtedness to finance the acquisition of assets in
respect of which the obligation to make such acquisition was incurred prior to
the commencement of the Suspension Period (and was not incurred in contemplation
thereof).
(iii) 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance of any Capital Stock by
the REIT Entity (other than (A) issuances and settlements pursuant to employee
stock plans or other benefit or employee incentive arrangements, (B) issuances
of shares of capital stock or rights to Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Parent
Borrower, (C) issuances of shares of Capital Stock in connection with the
conversion of convertible shares or units of such party outstanding as of the

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

54

date hereof or otherwise issued in compliance with Section 5.01(c) of the Merger
Agreement and (D) issuances to finance the acquisition of assets in respect of
which the obligation to make such acquisition was incurred prior to the
commencement of the Suspension Period (and was not incurred in contemplation
thereof)).
2.7    Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Any applicable Borrower may
elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than
12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed
conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only
be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The
applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to
Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of
such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third
Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify
the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan
may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have
determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon
receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
relevant Lender thereof.
(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto by the applicable Borrower giving
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of
the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided
that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required
Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such
continuations or (ii) if an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of
Section 8(f) with respect to any Borrower is in existence, and provided,
further, that (i) if the applicable Borrower shall fail to give any required
notice as described above in this paragraph or to specify any Interest Period in
any such notice, such Loans shall be continued as Eurodollar Loans with an
Interest Period of one month, or (ii) if such continuation is not permitted
pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall be automatically converted
to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt
of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant
Lender thereof.
2.8    Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of
Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts
and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto,
the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each
Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall
be outstanding at any one time.
2.9    Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear
interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate
per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the
Applicable Margin.
(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus
the Applicable Margin.
(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement
Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to (x) in the case of Loans, the rate that would otherwise be
applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2%
or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR
Loans under the Revolving Facility

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

55

plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or
Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to
clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount
is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).
(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided
that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be
payable from time to time on demand.
2.10    Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant
hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days
elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans, the interest thereon shall be
calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the
actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable
notify relevant Borrowers and Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar
Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the
ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the
opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the relevant Borrowers
and Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest
rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the
Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative
Agent shall, at the request of the applicable Borrower, deliver to such Borrower
a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in
determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.9(a).
2.11    Alternative Rate of Interest. (a) If prior to the first day of any
Interest Period:
(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means
do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate,
as applicable (including, without limitation, because the Screen Rate is not
available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period, or
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required
Lenders that the Eurodollar Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate, as applicable,
determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such
Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest
Period,
then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof
to the relevant Borrowers and Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such
notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day
of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to
have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans
shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall
be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans.
Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further
Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have
the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans.
(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth
in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary
or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

56

arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or a
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has
made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate
shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall endeavor to establish an alternate
rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate that gives due consideration to the then
prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated
loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to
this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related
changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Section 10.1, such amendment shall become effective without any
further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the
Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the
date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a
written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders
object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be
determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the
circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section
2.11(b), only to the extent the Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not
available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of
any Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective and (y) if any notice of
borrowing requests a Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan;
provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such
rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
2.12    Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by a Borrower from
the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Parent Borrower on account of any
commitment fee (other than as provided in Section 2.18(a)) and any reduction of
the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the
respective Revolving Percentages of the relevant Lenders.
(b) Subject to Section 2.18, each payment (including each prepayment) by any
Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro
rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then
held by the Lenders.
(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder,
whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made
without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available
funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant
Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing
by such Lender pursuant to Section 9.7. If any payment hereunder (other than
payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other
than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend
such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be
made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of
any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest
thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any
Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would
constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount
available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a
corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative
Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay
to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

57

thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such
Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A
certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to
any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available
to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such
Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such
amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, on
demand, from the applicable Borrower.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the
applicable Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by such
Borrower hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment to the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that said Borrower is
making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required
to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their
respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not
made to the Administrative Agent by the applicable Borrower within three
Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made
available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon
at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender against any Borrower.
(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Section 2.12(d), 2.12(e), 2.14(e) or 9.7, then the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof,
apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender in accordance with Section 2.18(c).
2.13    Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance
by any Lender or other Credit Party with any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
(i) shall subject any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified
Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes ) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit,
commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities
or capital attributable thereto;
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by,
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other
extensions of credit (or participations therein) by, or any other acquisition of
funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the
determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or
(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (other than Taxes);
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or
such other Credit Party, by an amount that such Lender or other Credit Party
deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining
Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the applicable
Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender or such other Credit Party, upon its
demand and delivery to the Parent Borrower of a certificate described in clause
(d) below, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such
other Credit Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any
Lender or such other

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

58

Credit Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in
any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from
any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’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 or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to
capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be
material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Parent
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor
in the form of a certificate described in clause (d) below, the applicable
Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules,
guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for
International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any
successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory
authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines,
requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in
implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law,
regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented; provided that a
Lender may only submit a request for compensation in connection with the changes
in the Requirements in Law described in clauses (i) and (ii) above if such
Lender imposes such increased costs on borrowers similarly situated to the
Parent Borrower under syndicated credit facilities comparable to the Revolving
Facility.
(d) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section
submitted by any Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrowers shall
not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts
incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the
Parent Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive
effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of
such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this
Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.14    Taxes. (a) 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 2.14), the
amounts received with respect to this agreement equal the sum which would have
been received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

59

(b) 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, Other Taxes.
(c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a
Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, 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 (if any),
or a copy of the return reporting such payment (or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).
(d) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Credit Party,
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 to such Credit Party by a Loan Party under this Section) payable
or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a
payment to such Credit Party 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 the Parent 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) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10
days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but
only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the
Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the
Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure
to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) relating to the maintenance of
a Participant Register, in either 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) (i) Each 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 Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or
times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the
Parent 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 Parent Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will
enable the Parent 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 2.14(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)
below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such
completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or
commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any
Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Parent 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 Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed
originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is fully exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Parent 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 Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to
time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable (plus any other
documents or other evidence to fully exempt any amount payable or paid to such

W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to
the “interest” article of such tax treaty (if such amount is properly treated as
interest thereunder and as otherwise required under U.S. federal tax law) and
(y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS
Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction

is none of the following: a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”

Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such
direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Parent 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 Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to
time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by
applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S.
federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Parent
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 under FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply
with the applicable requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section
1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the
Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by
law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent 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 Parent Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as may be necessary for the Parent 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), and notwithstanding the definition thereof, “FATCA” shall include
any and all amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously
delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall
update such form or certification or promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the
Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g) If any party determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received
a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this
Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.14), 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 (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified
party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this
paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less
favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in
if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not
been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or
additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph
shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its
Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems
confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 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
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations
under the Loan Documents.
(i) For purposes of this Section 2.14 and the relevant defined terms used
therein, (A) the term “applicable law” includes FATCA and (B) the term “Lender”
includes the Issuing Lenders.
(j) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and
after the Closing Date, the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall
treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this
Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
2.15    Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to
hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain
or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing
of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after such Borrower has
given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment of or
conversion from Eurodollar Loans after such Borrower has given a notice thereof
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a
prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest
Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to
the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the
amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period
from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or
continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure
to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on
the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for
such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin
included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably
determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount
by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in
the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable
pursuant to this Section submitted to the Parent Borrower by any Lender shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.
2.16    Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence
of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.13, 2.14(a), or 2.14(d)
with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Parent Borrower, use
reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to
designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the
object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such
designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause
such Lender and its lending offices to suffer no material economic, legal or
regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of
any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14(a), or 2.14(d).
2.17    Replacement of Lenders. The Parent Borrower shall be permitted to
replace any Lender that (a) requests (or any Participant to which such Lender
sold a participation requests) reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to
Section 2.13, 2.14(a) or 2.14(d), (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (c) does
not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that
requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected
thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders (with the percentage in
such definition being deemed to be 50% for this purpose) has been obtained),
with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement
does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

63

Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such
replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender (or Participant,
as applicable) shall have taken no action under Section 2.16 so as to eliminate
the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13,
2.14(a), or 2.14(d), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase,
at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender (or
Participant, as applicable) on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the
applicable Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender (or Participant, as
applicable) under Section 2.15 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced
Lender (or Participant, as applicable) shall be purchased other than on the last
day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) except in the case of a
Participant, the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be
obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section
10.6 (provided that the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to pay the
registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as
such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrowers shall pay all additional
amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14(a), or 2.14(d), as the
case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any rights that any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall
have against the replaced Lender (or Participant, as applicable), and (x) no
Suspension Period is in effect at the time of such replacement. Each party
hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be
effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender (or Participant, as
applicable) required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in
order for such assignment to be effective.
2.18    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following
provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving
Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3(a) (it being
understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Parent Borrower shall have no
obligation to retroactively pay such fees after such Lender ceases to be a
Defaulting Lender);
(b) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit of such
Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required
Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder
(including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant
to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of
a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification
requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;
(c) 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 Section 8 or otherwise) or
received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 10.7 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 hereunder; second, as the
Parent 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; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Parent Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in
order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations
with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any
amounts owing

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

64

to a Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth,
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 in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully
funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall
be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata
basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting
Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with the Revolving Commitments. 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 2.18(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting
Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;
(d) if any L/C Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender then:
(i) all or any part of the L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be
reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective
Revolving Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lender’s L/C
Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving
Commitments;
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, each Borrower shall within one Business Day following
notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the
Issuing Lenders only such Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such
Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above), if any, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 3.9 for so long as such L/C Exposure is
outstanding;
(iii) if a Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Borrower shall not be required
to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such
Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv) if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant
to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section
2.3(a) and Section 3.3(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages; and
(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither
reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then,
without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lenders or any other
Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 3.3(a) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing
Lenders until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or
cash collateralized; and
(e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lenders shall not
be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is
satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding
L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the
non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable
Borrower in accordance with Section 2.18(d), and participating interests in any
newly issued or increased

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

65

Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner
consistent with Section 2.18(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not
participate therein). Subject to Section 10.20, no reallocation hereunder shall
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a
Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender,
including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such
non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(f) If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender
Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as
such event shall continue or (ii) an Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that
any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other
agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no Issuing Lender
shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with
the applicable Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender, as
the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
(g) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower and the
Issuing Lenders each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all
matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the L/C Exposure
of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of
the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall
determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans
in accordance with its Revolving Percentage.
2.19    [Reserved].
2.19    Incremental Commitments. (a) The Borrowers and any one or more Lenders
(including New Lenders) may from time to time prior to the Initial Revolving
Termination Date agree that such Lenders shall make, obtain or increase the
amount of their Revolving Commitments (each, a “Commitment Increase”) by
executing and delivering to the Administrative Agents an Increased Facility
Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of such increase and (ii) the
applicable Increased Facility Closing Date; provided that immediately prior to
and after giving effect to any such increase in the Revolving Commitments (i) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) each
of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to
the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if
such representations and warranties are qualified by materiality, in all
respects) on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (except that
any representations and warranties which expressly relate to an earlier date
shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if such representations
and warranties are qualified by materiality, in all respects) as of such earlier
date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Required
Lenders, the aggregate amount of incremental Revolving Commitments obtained
after the Closing Date pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the Maximum
Permitted Increase Amount, and (ii) without the consent of the Administrative
Agent, (x) each increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a
minimum amount of at least $25,000,000 and (y) no more than five Increased
Facility Closing Dates may be selected by the Borrowers after the Closing Date.
No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in
this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.
(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the
consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement
in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.19(a) shall execute a
New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), substantially in the
form of Exhibit H, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a
“New

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

66

Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if
originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of
this Agreement.
(c) Upon each Increased Facility Closing Date, the Borrowers shall (A) prepay
the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) in full, (B) simultaneously borrow new
Revolving Loans hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment (in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, with Eurodollar Base Rates equal to the outstanding Eurodollar
Base Rate and with Interest Period(s) ending on the date(s) of any then
outstanding Interest Period(s)), as applicable (as modified hereby); provided
that with respect to subclauses (A) and (B), (x) the prepayment to, and
borrowing from, any existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the
extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Lender will be
subsequently borrowed from such Lender and (y) the existing Lenders (including
existing Lenders providing a Commitment Increase, if applicable) and the New
Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable
to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving
Loans are held ratably by such existing Lenders and New Lenders in accordance
with the respective Revolving Commitments of such Lenders (after giving effect
to such Commitment Increase) and (C) pay to the Lenders the amounts, if any,
payable under Section 2.15 as a result of any such prepayment. Concurrently
therewith, the Lenders shall be deemed to have adjusted their participation
interests in any outstanding Letters of Credit so that such interests are held
ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments as so increased. The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing,
pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this
Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause
(c).
2.20    Revolving Termination Date Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Parent Borrower may, at its election by written notice to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each of the Lenders) (each
such election, an “Extension Option”, the date of such election, the “Extension
Date”) extend the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans (such extended
Revolving Commitments, the “Extended Commitments” and such extended Revolving
Loans, the “Extended Loans”) for additional terms of 6 months each (the
“Extended Termination Date”), subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) there shall be no more than two (2) Extension Options exercised during the
term of this Agreement;
(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing on the
date of such written notice and on the Initial Revolving Termination Date or
first Extended Termination Date, as applicable, or would result from the
exercise of any Extension Option;
(iii) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or
pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material
respects (or, if such representations and warranties are qualified by
materiality, in all respects) on and as of the date of such written notice and
on and as of such Extension Date (and after giving effect to such Extension
Option) as if made on and as of such dates (except that any representations and
warranties which expressly relate to an earlier date shall be true and correct
in all material respects (or, if such representations and warranties are
qualified by materiality, in all respects) as of such earlier date);
(iv) the Parent Borrower shall make the request for such Extension Option not
earlier than 90 days and not later than 30 days prior to the Initial Revolving
Termination Date, or first Extended Termination Date, as applicable;
(v) the latest Extended Termination Date shall be no later than the Latest
Termination Date; and

(vi) the Parent Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to each Lender on each
such Extension Date a fee equal to 0.10% of the amount of the then existing
Revolving Commitments of such Lender.
2.21    Designation of Subsidiary Borrowers.
(a) The Parent Borrower shall be permitted, so long as no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) to designate any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower that is a
Domestic Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower under the Revolving Facility upon
(A) fifteen Business Days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as may
be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver such notice to the Lenders)
(a “Notice of Designation”), which shall contain the name, primary business
address and taxpayer identification number of such Subsidiary, (B) the execution
and delivery by the Parent Borrower, such Subsidiary and the Administrative
Agent of a Subsidiary Borrower Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit J (a “Subsidiary Borrower Joinder Agreement”), providing for such
Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Borrower, and the consent of the
Administrative Agent to such joinder, evidenced by its acknowledgement signature
thereto, (C) compliance by the Parent Borrower and such Subsidiary Borrower with
Section 6.10(f), (D) delivery by the Parent Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower
of all documentation and information as is reasonably requested in writing by
the Lenders at least ten days prior to the anticipated effective date of such
designation required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money
laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the PATRIOT Act
and (E) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of (1) corporate or other
applicable resolutions, certificates of incorporation or other applicable
constituent documents, officer’s certificates, good standing certificates and
legal opinions in respect of such Subsidiary as may be required by the
Administrative Agent, in each case reasonably equivalent to comparable documents
delivered on the Closing Date and (2) such other documents with respect thereto
as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request; provided that, in the case
of this clause (i), prior to the date of designation of such Subsidiary
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice from any
Lender that an extension of credit to such Subsidiary shall contravene any law
or regulation applicable to such Lender; and
(ii) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, to remove any Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower upon execution and
delivery by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a written
notification to such effect and repayment in full of all Loans made to such
Subsidiary Borrower, cash collateralization of all L/C Obligations in respect of
any Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Subsidiary Borrower and
repayment in full of all other amounts owing by such Subsidiary Borrower under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (it being agreed that any such
repayment or cash collateralization shall be in accordance with the other terms
of this Agreement) (a “Termination Letter”). The delivery of a Termination
Letter with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower shall not terminate (x) any
Obligation of such Subsidiary Borrower that remains unpaid at the time of such
delivery or (y) the Obligations of the Parent Borrower with respect to any such
unpaid Obligations.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other
Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each
Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender) to enter into
such amendments to the Security Documents and/or such new Security Documents as
are necessary or advisable, as reasonably determined by the Administrative
Agent, in order to effect the provisions of Section 6.10(f).

(c) Each Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower that is or becomes a “Subsidiary
Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.21 hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent
Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of
the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices and
(ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates
contemplated herein and all modifications hereto. Any acknowledgment, consent,
direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or
effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting
singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Parent
Borrower, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice,
demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other
communication delivered to the Parent Borrower in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Subsidiary
Borrower.
SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1    L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each
Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set
forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”)
for the account of any Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving
Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such
Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit
during the Suspension Period (if any), other than any renewal or extension of
existing Letters of Credit without increasing the dollar amount thereof;
provided further, that such Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any
Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C
Obligations of such Issuing Lender would exceed the L/C Commitment of such
Issuing Lender then in effect, or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available
Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i)
be denominated in Dollars and (ii) except as provided in Section 3.1(b) below,
expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of
issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving
Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may
provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in
no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).
(b) If requested by a Borrower, each Issuing Lender agrees to issue one or more
Letters of Credit hereunder, with expiry dates that would occur after the fifth
(5th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Termination Date, based upon agreement
of the applicable Borrower to cash collateralize the L/C Obligations in
accordance with Section 3.9. If such Borrower fails to cash collateralize the
outstanding L/C Obligations in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.9,
each outstanding Letter of Credit shall automatically be deemed to be drawn in
full on such date and the reimbursement obligations of the such Borrower set
forth in Section 3.5 shall be deemed to apply and shall be construed such that
the reimbursement obligation is to provide cash collateral in accordance with
the requirements of Section 3.9.
(c) The applicable Borrower shall grant to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of each Issuing Lender and the Lenders, pursuant to the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement, a security interest in all cash, deposit accounts and all
balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing as required to be deposited
pursuant to Section 3.1(b) or Section 3.9. Cash collateral shall be maintained
in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or
any affiliate thereof) (the “L/C Cash Collateral Account”). All interest on such
cash collateral shall be paid to the applicable Borrower upon its request,
provided that such interest shall first be applied to all outstanding
Obligations at such time and the balance shall be distributed to such Borrower.
(d) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of
Credit if (i) such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or
any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement
of Law, (ii) any order, judgment or decree of any

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

69

Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or
restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any law
applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over
such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain
from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in
particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter
of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such
Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the
Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss,
cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date, which such Issuing
Lender in good faith deems material to it and which is not subject to
indemnification obligations of the applicable Borrower hereunder or (iii)
issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such
Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.
(e) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the
applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP
shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP
shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Issuing Lender shall be responsible to the Borrowers, and no Issuing Lender’s
rights and remedies against the Borrowers shall be impaired by, any action or
inaction of such Issuing Lender required or permitted under any law, order, or
practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or
this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where an
Issuing Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or
UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or
official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for
Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or
the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter
of Credit chooses such law or practice.
(f) In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any
Application, the terms hereof shall control.
3.2    Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. Any Borrower may from time to
time request that any Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to
such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application
therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other
certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender
may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing
Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other
papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance
with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit
requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue
any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the
Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers
and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of
Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the
relevant Issuing Lender and the applicable Borrower. The relevant Issuing Lender
shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the relevant Borrower promptly
following the issuance thereof. The relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly
furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the
Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount
thereof).
3.3    Fees and Other Charges. (a) Subject to Section 2.18(d)(iii), each
Borrower agrees to pay a fee on all of its outstanding Letters of Credit at a
per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to
Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the
Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date
after the issuance date. In addition, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the
relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.25% per annum on
the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

70

Lender on its behalf, payable quarterly in arrears to the relevant Issuing
Lender on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.
(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the applicable Borrower agrees to pay or
reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses
as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating,
effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of
Credit.
3.4    L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant
and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to
issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and
purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms
and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk
an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in
such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter
of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder.
Each L/C Participant agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid
under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in
full by the applicable Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
(or in the event that any reimbursement received by such Issuing Lender shall be
required to be returned by it at any time) (“Unreimbursed Amounts”), such L/C
Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing
Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C
Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount that is not so reimbursed (or
is so returned). Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that
such L/C Participant may have against any Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a
Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other
conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C
Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing
Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any
payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such
Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due,
such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal
to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds
Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the
relevant Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the
number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is
360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to
Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C
Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such
Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on
demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the
rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A
certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with
respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any
Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of
such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any
payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the applicable
Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such
Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing
Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof;
provided, however, that in the event that any such payment

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

71

received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing
Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion
thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.
3.5    Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. If any draft is paid under any
Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the relevant Issuing
Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges
or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with
such payment, not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business
Day that the Parent Borrower or the applicable Borrower receives notice of such
draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City
time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately
following the day that the Parent Borrower or the applicable Borrower receives
such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing Lender at
its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately
available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on
which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in
(x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice,
Section 2.9(b) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.9(c).
3.6    Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 3
shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the
Borrowers may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrowers also agree with each Issuing
Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers’
Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the
validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though
such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any
dispute between or among the applicable Borrower and any beneficiary of any
Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be
transferred or any claims whatsoever of the applicable Borrower against any
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender
shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission,
dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in
connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a
final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender.
The Borrowers agree that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under
or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents,
if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be
binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing
Lender to any Borrower.
3.7    Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment
under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify
the Parent Borrower and/or the applicable Borrower of the date and amount
thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the relevant
Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of
Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in
such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including
each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such
presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.8    Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related
to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3,
the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.
3.9    Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit.
(a) Not later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the
Revolving Termination Date, or at any time after the Revolving Termination Date
when the aggregate funds on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account shall be
less than the amounts required herein, each Borrower with any Letters of Credit
then outstanding shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

72

funds, at the Administrative Agent’s office referred to in Section 10.2, for
deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account described in Section 3.1(c), the
amount required so that, after such payment, the aggregate funds on deposit in
the L/C Cash Collateral Account are not less than 105% of the sum of all
outstanding L/C Obligations with an expiration date beyond the Revolving
Termination Date.
(b) The Administrative Agent may, from time to time after funds are deposited in
any L/C Cash Collateral Account, apply funds then held in such L/C Cash
Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in accordance with the terms
herein, as shall have become or shall become due and payable by the Borrowers to
the Issuing Lenders or Lenders in respect of the L/C 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.
3.10    Reporting. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each
Issuing Lender shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on each
Business Day, the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit
issued by it, (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender expects to
issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the aggregate face amount of
the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it on such
date, and no Issuing Lender shall be permitted to issue, amend, renew or extend
such Letter of Credit without first notifying the Administrative Agent as set
forth herein, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender makes any
payment pursuant to a Letter of Credit (including in respect of a time draft
presented thereunder), the date of such payment and the amount of such payment
and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably request, including but not limited to prompt verification
of such information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent.

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

74

4.2    No Change. Since December 31, 2015, there has been no development or
event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.; provided that, solely with respect to this Section 4.2, from the Fourth
Amendment Effective Date until March 31, 2021, the impacts on the business,
operations, properties, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
directly related to the existing COVID-19 pandemic that have already occurred
and were disclosed in writing to Lenders in the Lender Presentation distributed
on June 10, 2020 will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a
Material Adverse Effect has occurred.
4.3    Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and
operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct
the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of
each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the
conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance
with its Organizational Documents and all Requirements of Law except in each
case referred to in clauses (b), (c) and (d), to the extent that the failure to
comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
4.4    Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the
power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan
Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to obtain
extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary
organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to
authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act
by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required
in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution,
delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of
the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices
which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the
filings referred to in Section 4.19. Each Loan Document has been duly executed
and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement
constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto,
enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether
enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
4.5    No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings
hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement
of Law or any Organizational Document or Contractual Obligation of any Group
Member, except where any such violation could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in, or require, the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues
pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other
than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or
Contractual Obligation applicable to the Parent Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.6    Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the
Parent Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of
their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

75

Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b)
that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.7    No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of
its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing.
4.8    Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Group Member has title in fee simple
to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to,
or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property necessary or used in
the ordinary conduct of its business, except for such defects in title as could
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as
permitted by Section 7.3.
4.9    Intellectual Property. Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all
Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently
conducted. Except for such claims as could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no claim
has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the
use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any
Intellectual Property, nor does any Borrower know of any valid basis for any
such claim. Except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the use of Intellectual Property by
each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person.
4.10    Taxes. Each Group Member has timely filed or caused to be filed all
Federal and state income Tax returns and any other material Tax returns that
have been required to be filed (taking into account extensions) and has timely
paid all such Taxes and assessments payable by it which have become due (other
than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in
conformity with GAAP have been established); no Liens for Taxes have been filed
(other than Liens for Taxes not yet due or the amount or validity of which are
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, provided that adequate
reserves with respect thereto are maintained in conformity with GAAP), and, to
the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, as of the date hereof, no claim is being
asserted with respect to any such Tax.
4.11    Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other
extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for purchasing or “carrying” any
“margin stock” or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying margin stock within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms
under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any
purpose that violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board.  No
more than 25% of the assets of the Group Members consist of (or after applying
the proceeds of the Loans will consist of) “margin stock” as so defined.  If
requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers will furnish
to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect
in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U‑1, as
applicable, referred to in Regulation U.
4.12    Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other
labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of the
Parent Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees
of each Group Member have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act
or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c)
all payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare
insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant
Group Member.

Distribution Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Merger Loan Parties

specified with respect thereto on Schedule 6.16, such delivery may be made or
such action may be taken at any time prior to the time specified on Schedule
6.16. To the extent any representation and warranty would not be true or any
provision of any covenant would otherwise be breached solely due to a failure to
comply with any such requirement prior to the date specified on Schedule 6.16,
the respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and
correct (or the respective covenant complied with) with respect to such action
only at the time such action is taken (or was required to be taken) in

directly or indirectly, of more than 35% of the outstanding common stock of the
REIT Entity, (ii) the board of directors of the REIT Entity shall cease to
consist of a majority of Continuing Directors, (iii) the Parent Borrower shall
cease to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the Capital Stock and other equity
interests of each Subsidiary Borrower, in each case, free and clear of all Liens
(other than Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the

relating to the Convertible Notes or Additional Convertible Notes or contained
in the Convertible Notes Indenture or the indenture governing the Additional
Convertible Notes, respectively, or any instrument or agreement evidencing,
securing or relating thereto, or any other event shall occur or condition exist,
the effect of which default or other event or condition is to cause, or to
permit the holder or beneficiary of the Convertible Notes or Additional
Convertible Notes (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or
beneficiary) to cause, with the giving of notice if required, the Convertible
Notes or Additional Convertible Notes to become due prior to their stated
maturity; provided that this clause (iii) shall not apply if the Convertible
Notes or Additional Convertible Notes become due as a result of mandatory
prepayments resulting from asset sales, casualty events, the incurrence of
Indebtedness not permitted by the Convertible Notes Indenture or the indenture
governing the Additional Convertible Notes, respectively, or excess cash flow or
any similar concept;
then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified
in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to any Borrower,
automatically the Revolving Commitments shall immediately terminate and the
Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C
Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of
Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately
become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default,
either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the
Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Parent
Borrower declare the Revolving Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon
the Revolving Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent
of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Parent
Borrower, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other
amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all
amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then
outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required
thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall
immediately become due and payable. With respect to all Letters of Credit with
respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an
acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers with Letters of Credit
then outstanding, shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened
by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and
unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral
account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts
drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all
such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any,
shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or
been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied
and all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash
collateral account shall be returned to the applicable Borrower (or such other
Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above
in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind
are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers.
SECTION 9. THE AGENTS
9.1    Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the
Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents,

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

105

and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such
capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have
any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent.
9.2    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or
attorneys‑in‑fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in‑fact
selected by it with reasonable care.
9.3    Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys‑in‑fact or
affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be
taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by
a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct)
or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer
thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in,
or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative
Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed
pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual
executed signature page) or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under
any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or
records of any Loan Party.
9.4    Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument,
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy
or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by
it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including
counsel to any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by
the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee
of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of
assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the
Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it
deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent
shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request
of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders),
and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

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

106

9.5    Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless
the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Parent
Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that
the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall
give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such
action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably
directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all
Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best
interests of the Lenders.
9.6    Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys‑in‑fact or affiliates have
made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent
hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any
affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that
it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender,
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their
affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of
a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or
any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys‑in‑fact
or affiliates.
9.7    Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its
officers, directors, partners, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and
controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed
by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so),
ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect
on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if
indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Commitments
shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in
accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such
date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the
Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in
any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Commitments, this
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection
with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the
payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are
found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction
to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

107

survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all
other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8    Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make
loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with
any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans
made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or
participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall
include each Agent in its individual capacity.
9.9    Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Parent
Borrower. The Required Lenders may by written notice to the Administrative Agent
and the Parent Borrower remove the Administrative Agent if it has become a
Defaulting Lender. If the Administrative Agent shall resign or be removed as
Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the
Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the
Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section
8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to any Borrower shall have occurred and be
continuing) be subject to approval by the Parent Borrower (which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall
succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the
term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such
appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers
and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or
further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of
the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent
has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days
following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation or notice of
removal of a removed Administrative Agent, as applicable, the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation or the removed Administrative Agent’s removal
shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Required Lenders shall
assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until
such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent with the
consent of the Parent Borrower as provided for above. After any retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of
this Section 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.
9.10    Arrangers and Syndication Agent. Neither the Arrangers nor the
Syndication Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their
respective capacities as such.
9.11    ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the
date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the
date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases
being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and
each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of
doubt, to or for the benefit of the any Borrower, that at least one of the
following is and will be true:such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the
meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or
more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the
Commitments,
(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14
(a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified
professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain
transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class
exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate
accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank
collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain
transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect
to, and all of the

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

108

conditions of which are and will continue to be satisfied in connection with,
such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance
of the Loans, Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional
Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified
Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender
to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of
Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation
in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the
Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b)
through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender,
the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with
respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and
performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this
Agreement, or
(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in
writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such
Lender.
(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a)
is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another
representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the
immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and
warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y)
covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date
such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the
Administrative Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not,
for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower, that none of
the Administrative Agent or any Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates
is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in
connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement or any documents related to hereto or thereto),
(c) The Administrative Agent and each Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that
each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or
to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the
transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i)
may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of
Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it
extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less
than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit
or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise, including
structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront
fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or
collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit
fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees,
processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other
early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

10.1    Amendments and Waivers. Except as specifically provided in any Loan
Document, neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof
or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with

of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of
Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders or consent to the assignment or
transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in each case without the written consent
of all Lenders; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the designation of a
Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(a)(i) shall not be deemed to
be an assignment or transfer of rights and obligations; (iv) except as otherwise
permitted by the Loan Documents on the date hereof, release all or substantially
all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary
Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement,
in each case, without the written consent of all Lenders; (v) amend, modify or
waive any provision of Section 2.12(a) or (b) without the written consent of all
Lenders; provided that amendments permitting the extension of the Revolving
Termination Date with respect to any or all Revolving Commitments which provide
for compensation solely to extending Lenders, by increasing the Applicable
Margin applicable thereto or otherwise, shall not be considered an amendment,
modification or waiver of Section 2.12; (vi) amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 9 or any other provision of any Loan Document that affects
the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent without the written consent of
the Administrative Agent; (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision affecting
the Maximum Permitted Outstanding Amount or the component definitions thereof
which has the effect of increasing the Maximum Permitted Outstanding Amount (but
excluding any technical amendments to the definition of Maximum Permitted
Outstanding Amount or any component definition thereof) without the written
consent of the Supermajority Lenders; (viii) amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 3 without the written consent of each Issuing Lender or
(ix) amend Section 6.3 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement without the
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby. Any such waiver and any such
amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders
and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan
Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their
former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any
Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and
restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrowers (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to
this Agreement on such terms as provided for in any such amendment, including,
without limitation, for purposes of effecting an extension of the Revolving
Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Commitments, held by each Lender
agreeing to such extension, and to permit the extensions of credit from time to
time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof
to share in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan

Documents with the Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and
fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding
such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and the
Supermajority Lenders.
Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, with the
consent of the Borrowers, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document
without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders (a) in order to
correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any
typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document (b) to add or
effect changes to administrative or ministerial provisions contained herein
reasonably believed to be required as a result of the addition of Subsidiary
Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.21 and (c) pursuant to Section 2.11.

10.3    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in
exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right,
remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any

several basis, (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each
Arranger for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and
any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith,

jurisdiction, and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with
respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Parent Borrower prior to the
Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from
time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the
Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, but in any event no earlier than
ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Parent Borrower of a reasonably
detailed invoice therefor, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, each Issuing
Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or
preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
any such other documents, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
fees and disbursements of any counsel to any Lender and of counsel to the
Administrative Agent (but in such case limited to, the reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one primary counsel to the
Administrative Agent, one primary counsel to the Lenders (as selected by the
Required Lenders other than the Administrative Agent) and, to the extent
reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, and, in
the case of a conflict of interest, one additional primary counsel and one
additional local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for such Persons
affected by such conflict), and (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender,
each Issuing Lender, each Arranger and the Administrative Agent, their
respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from
and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

112

disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding (a “Proceeding”) regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not the same are brought by any
Borrower, its equity holders, affiliates or creditors or any other Person,
including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or
the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law
applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and
the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one primary
legal counsel and, if reasonably necessary, one single local counsel in each
relevant jurisdiction for all Indemnitees taken as a whole (and solely in the
case of a conflict in interest, one additional primary counsel and one
additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected
Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole) in connection with claims,
actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan
Document (all the foregoing in this clause (c), collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), provided, that no Borrower shall have any obligation hereunder to
any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such
Indemnified Liabilities are (x) found by a final and nonappealable decision of a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach of any Loan Document by, such
Indemnitee, or (y) related to any dispute solely among the Indemnitees other
than any dispute involving an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its
role as the Administrative Agent or Arranger or any similar role under this
Agreement unless such dispute is related to any claims arising out of or in
connection with any act or omission of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates and
provided, further, that this Section 10.5(c) shall not apply with respect to
Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any
non-Tax claim and shall not duplicate any amounts paid under Section 2.13 or
Section 2.15. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Borrowers agree not to assert and to cause their respective
Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waive and agree to cause their respective
Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of
recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities,
settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or
related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or
otherwise against any Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages
arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained
through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission
systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final and
nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
None of the parties hereto shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim for
any indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages in
connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (except that nothing contained in this sentence
shall limit the Borrowers’ indemnity obligations under this Section 10.5). All
amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 10 Business
Days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor. Statements payable
by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to Director –
Legal Department (Telephone No. 310-282-8820) (Telecopy No. 310-282-8808), at
the address of the Parent Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other
Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Parent Borrower in a
written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.5
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans
and all other amounts payable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Borrowers shall not be liable under this Agreement for any settlement made by
any Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If any settlement is
consummated with the Parent Borrower’s written consent or if there is a final
judgment for the plaintiff in any such Proceeding, the Borrowers agree to
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or
judgment in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Borrowers further agree
that they will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, settle
or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or
threatened Proceeding in respect of which indemnification may

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

113

be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnitee is an actual or potential
party to such Proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes
(a) an unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liability and
obligations arising therefrom in form and substance satisfactory to such
Indemnitee and (b) does not include any statement as to or any admission of
fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee.
10.6    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby
(including any affiliate of any Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of
Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any
of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without
such consent shall be null and void); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt,
the designation of a Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(a)(i)
shall not be deemed to be an assignment or transfer of rights and obligations
and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations
hereunder except in accordance with this Section.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any
Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”), other than a
natural person, any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Borrower, all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all
or a portion of its Revolving Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it)
with the prior written consent of:
(A) the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for
an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as
defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred
and is continuing, any other Person; and provided, further, that the Parent
Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the
Parent Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative
Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or
an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Revolving
Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
$5,000,000 unless each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent
otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Parent Borrower
shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred
and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each
Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

114

(B) (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing
and recordation fee of $3,500 and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in
full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee
designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information
(which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers and their
respective Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities)
will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with
the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and
state securities laws.

For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other
than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or
investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course
of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an
affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that
administers or manages a Lender.
    
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv)
below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of
the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13,
2.14, 2.15 and 9.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6
shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of
this Section.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register (maintained in accordance with
Treasury Regulations Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c)(1)(i)) for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving
Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C
Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time
(the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders
and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided that the
information contained in the Register which is shared with each Lender (other
than the Administrative Agent and its affiliates) shall be limited to the
entries with respect to such Lender including the Revolving Commitments of, or
principal amount of and stated interest on the Loans owing to such Lender.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by
an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative
questionnaire (unless

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

115

the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written
consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective
for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph.
(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or any Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving
Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver that (i) requires the consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1
and (ii) directly and adversely affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells
a participation agrees, at the Parent Borrower’s request and expense, to use
reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Parent Borrower to effectuate the
provisions of Sections 2.16 and 2.17 with respect to any Participant. The
Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations
therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(f) (it being understood
that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the
participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section;
provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.13 and 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 as if it were an assignee under
paragraph (b) of this Section and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Sections 2.13 or 2.14, with respect to any participation,
than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the
extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of
or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application
thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or direction (whether or
not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant
acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though
it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a)
as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting
solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a
register (maintained in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections
5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c)(1)(i)) on which it enters the name and address of
each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan
Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any
Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to
a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit
or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving 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

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

116

avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative
Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and
this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security
interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest
shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. The Borrowers, upon
receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any
Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in this
paragraph (d).
10.7    Adjustments; Set‑off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement or a
court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular
Lender or to the Lenders under a particular facility, if any Lender (a
“Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations
owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to
Section 10.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily
or involuntarily, by set‑off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature
referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any
such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect
of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such
portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide
such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be
necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or
benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however,
that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the
purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender shall have
the right, without notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being expressly
waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, to apply to
the payment of any Obligations of any Borrower, irrespective of whether or not
such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such
Obligations may be unmatured, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and
any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time
held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective
branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the applicable
Borrower; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right
of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the
Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such
Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders and (ii) the
Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement
describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender
as to which it exercised such right of set‑off; provided further, that to the
extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded
Swap Obligation,” no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such
Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower
and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such application.
10.8    Counterparts; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed
by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate
counterparts, and all of said counterparts

system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the
Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format
without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it;
provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the

automatically released in all respects with retroactive effect to the time such
Specified Subsidiary was first joined as a Subsidiary Guarantor (until such

Agent of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower in form
and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent regarding the basis for
designating such subsidiary as a Specified Subsidiary; provided that, after

applicable, in accordance with this Section 10.14, execute and deliver to the
Parent Borrower such documents as the Parent Borrower shall reasonably request
to evidence such release.

actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any

(h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar
organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to
information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings
issued with respect to such Lender, (i) in connection with the exercise of any
remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (j) if agreed by the
Parent Borrower in its sole discretion, to any other Person. “Information” means
all information received from the Parent Borrower relating to the Parent
Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to
the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a non-confidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Parent Borrower. In addition, the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders may disclose the existence
of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data

table providers) and service providers to the Administrative Agent, the
Arrangers and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans and the Revolving Commitments.
Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public
information concerning the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates and their
related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has
developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public

accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state
securities laws.
All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by any
Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of
administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be

about the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates and their related parties or
their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its
administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that

procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56
(signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which
information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information
that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in accordance with the
Patriot Act.
10.18    Investment Asset Reviews. The Administrative Agent, individually or at
the request of the Required Lenders, may engage in its reasonable discretion, on
behalf of the Lenders, an independent consultant (each, an “Independent

Net Book Value of any Investment Asset included in the calculation of the
Maximum Permitted Outstanding Amount (each, an “Investment Asset Review”) at any
time, each such Investment Asset Review to be shared with the Lenders and the

documented out-of-pocket cost of each such Investment Asset Review reasonably

shall not be required to reimburse such costs with respect to more than one
Investment Asset Review per fiscal year with respect to each such Investment
Asset and (ii) the Parent Borrower shall not be required to reimburse more than
$500,000 of such costs per fiscal year; provided further that the limitations on
reimbursement contained in the foregoing proviso shall not apply if an Event of

provisions hereof or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any
action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the
release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender
and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.19 to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that
other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations
arising under Secured Swap Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has
received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting
documentation as the Administrative Agent may request from the applicable Swap
Bank.
10.20    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEAAffected Financial
Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or
in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties,
each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEAAffected Financial

conversion powers of an EEAthe applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and
consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the
exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEAthe applicable
Resolution Authority.
10.21    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with
all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan
under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum
lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken,
received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have

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

123

and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or
periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such
cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective
Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
10.22    Effect of Amendment and Restatement; Reallocation. (a) Upon the Closing
Date, this Agreement shall amend, and restate as amended, the Existing Credit
Agreement (including any contingent amendments thereto), but shall not
constitute a novation thereof or in any way impair or otherwise affect the
rights or obligations of the parties thereunder (including with respect to Loans
and representations and warranties made thereunder) except as such rights or
obligations are amended or modified hereby. The Existing Credit Agreement as
amended and restated hereby shall be deemed to be a continuing agreement among
the parties, and all documents, instruments and agreements delivered pursuant to
or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement not amended and restated in
connection with the entry of the parties into this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect, each in accordance with its terms, as of the date of
delivery or such other date as contemplated by such document, instrument or
agreement to the same extent as if the modifications to the Existing Credit
Agreement contained herein were set forth in an amendment to the Existing Credit
Agreement in a customary form, unless such document, instrument or agreement has
otherwise been terminated or has expired in accordance with or pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement or such document,
instrument or agreement or as otherwise agreed by the required parties hereto or
thereto.
(b) Upon the Closing Date, the Parent Borrower shall (A) prepay the outstanding
Revolving Loans (if any) in full, (B) simultaneously borrow new Revolving Loans
hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment (in the case of Eurodollar
Loans, with Eurodollar Base Rates equal to the outstanding Eurodollar Base Rate
and with Interest Period(s) ending on the date(s) of any then outstanding
Interest Period(s)), as applicable (as modified hereby); provided that with
respect to subclauses (A) and (B), (x) the prepayment to, and borrowing from,
any Lender that was a party to the Existing Credit Agreement as a “Lender”
thereunder immediately prior to giving effect to this Agreement (an “Existing
Lender”) shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the
amount prepaid to such Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such Lender and
(y) the Existing Lenders and each Person that is a signatory hereto as a Lender
but that was not a party to the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to
giving effect to this Agreement (each, an “Additional Lender”) shall make and
receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans are held
ratably by such Existing Lenders and Additional Lenders in accordance with the
respective Revolving Commitments of such Lenders as set forth in Schedule 1.1A
hereto and (C) pay to the Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section
2.15 as a result of any such prepayment. Concurrently therewith, the Lenders
shall be deemed to have adjusted their participation interests in any
outstanding Letters of Credit so that such interests are held ratably in
accordance with their Revolving Commitments as set forth in Schedule 1.1A
hereto. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum
borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained
elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected
pursuant to this clause (b).
10.23    Suspension of Restrictive ProvisionsAcknowledgment Regarding Any
Supported QFCs.
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or
otherwise, for hedging agreements 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

DocID \\DC - 036150/000014 - 15261895 v6

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

124

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):
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.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Parent
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries shall not be required to comply with the
terms of the Restrictive Provisions during the Suspension Period and the period
prior to the Parent Borrower delivering the Suspension Notice but following the
occurrence of the Default or Event of Default giving rise to the Suspension
Notice, in each case if and as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Suspension Period shall not apply to any inaccuracy, breach or occurrence
existing prior to December 2, 2016 of which a Responsible Officer of the Parent
Borrower or its Subsidiaries had knowledge.
(b) Notice of Suspension Period. Prior to the date that is sixty days from the
Closing Date, the Parent Borrower may elect to initiate the Suspension Period by
providing prior written notice of such election to the Administrative Agent in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall
specify the date (on or after delivery of such notice) on which the Suspension
Period is to begin (such notice, the “Suspension Notice”); provided, that such
an election shall only be made by the Parent Borrower once; provided, further,
that for such Suspension Notice to be effective, the Parent Borrower shall have
notified the Administrative Agent of any Default or Event of Default giving rise
to the Suspension Notice no later than one Business Day following a Responsible
Officer of the Parent Borrower (such Responsible Officer being limited to the
chief financial officer or treasurer in the case of a breach of a Restrictive
Provision described in clause (a) of the definition thereof) becoming aware of
such occurrence.
(c) Termination of Suspension Period. The Parent Borrower may elect to terminate
the Suspension Period by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent in
a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative agent, which notice shall
specify the date on which the Suspension Period is to end, which in no event
will be later than 60 days after the Closing Date (such notice, the “Suspension
Termination Notice”). Unless terminated earlier by the Parent Borrower, any
Suspension Period in effect shall automatically cease (and for the avoidance of
doubt the right to elect a Suspension Period shall cease) on the date that is
the 60th day after the Closing Date.
(d) Reversion of Restrictive Provisions. Upon the expiration or termination of
the Suspension Period, each of the Restrictive Provisions shall be calculated
and tested and the Parent Borrower and each Subsidiary shall be required to
comply with each Restrictive Provision.
