SECTION 2.08  Interest Rate Determination.  (a)  If requested, each Reference Bank may, but shall not be required to, furnish to the Designated Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurocurrency Rate.  If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Designated Agent for the purpose of determining such interest rate, the Designated Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks.
(b)    The Designated Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the applicable interest rate determined by the Designated Agent and (ii) subject to Section 2.13(b), the details of such determination (including, without limitation, disclosure of the Credit Default Swap Spread) for purposes of Sections 2.06(a)(i) and/or 2.06(a)(ii).
(c)    If at any time when the Eurocurrency Rate is being determined by reference to rates furnished by the Reference Banks in accordance with the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate”, fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Designated Agent for purposes of determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, (i) the Designated Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, (ii) each such Advance denominated in Dollars will automatically, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or, if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), (iii) each such Advance denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be prepaid and (iv) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Designated Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(d)    If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in any currency, (i) the Designated Agent shall be unable to determine the Eurocurrency Rate as contemplated hereby or (ii) the Majority Lenders notify the Designated Agent that (A) they are unable to obtain matching deposits in such currency in the London interbank market at or about 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing (or, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Sterling, on the date of such Borrowing) in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Period or (B) the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Lenders (which cost each such Majority Lender reasonably determines in good faith is material) of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances in such currency for such Interest Period, the Designated Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon, unless, in the case of a development referred to in the preceding clause (ii)(B), the Applicable Margin shall be increased to reflect such costs as determined by such Majority Lenders and as agreed by the Borrower, and in any event subject to clause (e) below, (A) the obligation of the Lenders to make or continue at the end of the Interest Period, or to Convert Base Rate Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances in such currency 


18







shall be suspended until the Designated Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (B) the Borrower will, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, (1) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (2) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any affected Committed Currency, prepay such Advances.  The Designated Agent shall use reasonable efforts to determine from time to time whether the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and, promptly after the Designated Agent knows that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, the Designated Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders.
(e)    If at any time the Designated Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (d)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (d)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Designated 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 Designated Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurocurrency 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 (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.01, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Designated 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 Majority Lenders stating that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment.  Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (e) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this clause (e), only to the extent the Screen Rate for the applicable currency and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), clauses (A) and (B) of clause (d) shall be applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any alternate rate of interest established pursuant to this clause (e) (without giving effect to the Applicable Margin or any alternative spread that may have been agreed upon over the applicable Lenders’ deemed cost of funds) shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for all purposes of this Agreement.
(f)    If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Designated Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Committed Currency, be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Advances with a one-month Interest Period.
(g)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in Dollars will automatically, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended.
SECTION 2.09  Optional Conversion of Advances.  The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Designated Agent not later than (i) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the same Business Day as the date of the proposed Conversion in the case of a Conversion of 


19







Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances and (ii) 1:00 P.M. (London time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion in the case of a Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances or of Eurocurrency Rate Advances of one Interest Period into Eurocurrency Rate Advances of another Interest Period, as the case may be, and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, Convert all Advances denominated in Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances denominated in Dollars of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances or into Eurocurrency Rate Advances of another Interest Period shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances.  Promptly upon receipt from the Borrower of a notice of a proposed Conversion hereunder, the Designated Agent shall give notice of such proposed Conversion to each Lender.  Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions set forth above, specify (x) the date of such Conversion (which shall be a Business Day), (y) the Advances to be Converted and (z) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance.  The Borrower may Convert all Eurocurrency Rate Advances of any one Lender into Base Rate Advances of such Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 by complying with the procedures set forth therein and in this Section 2.09 as though each reference in this Section 2.09 to Advances denominated in Dollars of any Type were to such Advances of such Lender.  Each such notice of Conversion shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
SECTION 2.10  Prepayments of Advances.  (a)  Optional.  The Borrower may, upon not less than (i) the same Business Day’s notice to the Designated Agent received not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) in the case of Borrowings consisting of Base Rate Advances, (ii) three Business Days’ notice to the Designated Agent received not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) in the case of Borrowings consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in any Committed Currency, or (iii) three Business Days’ notice to the Designated Agent received not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) in the case of Borrowings consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Advances constituting part of the same Borrowings in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the Equivalent thereof in a Committed Currency determined on the date notice of prepayment is given) and (y) in the case of any such prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(b).
(b)    Mandatory.  (i)  If the Designated Agent provides a written notice in conformity with Section 2.10(b)(ii) to the Borrower that, on any date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Dollars then outstanding and (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third Business Day prior to such date) of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Committed Currencies then outstanding exceeds 102% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date, the Borrower shall, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances necessary so that, after giving effect to such prepayment of Advances, the sum of (A) and (B) above does not exceed 100% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date as set forth in the written notice from the Designated Agent to the Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof.
(ii)    Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period, with any additional amounts which the Borrower shall be obligated to 


20







reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(b).  The Designated Agent shall give prompt written notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.10(b) to the Borrower and the Lenders and such notice shall specify the amount of such prepayment and contain a reasonably detailed calculation thereof.
SECTION 2.11  Increased Costs.  (a)  If, after the date hereof, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any hereafter promulgated guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), which guideline or request (x) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or (y) imposes on any Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement (including any assessment or charge on or with respect to the Commitments or Advances, deposits or liabilities incurred to fund Advances, assets consisting of Advances (but not unrelated assets) or capital attributable thereto), there shall be any increase in the cost (excluding any allocation of corporate overhead) to any Lender (which cost such Lender reasonably determines in good faith is material) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances, then such Lender shall so notify the Borrower promptly after such Lender knows of such increased cost and determines that such cost is material and the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Designated Agent), pay to the Designated Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost.  A certificate of such Lender as to the amount of such increased cost in reasonable detail and stating the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certifying that such Lender’s method of allocating such costs is fair and reasonable and that such Lender’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are substantially similar to the Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions, submitted to the Borrower and the Designated Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes hereof, absent manifest error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under this Section 2.11 relating to (i) costs that are Excluded Taxes or are subject to indemnification under Section 2.14 or (ii) reserve requirements that are included in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage.
(b)    If, after the date hereof, either (i) the introduction of or change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by any Lender with any hereafter promulgated guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender and the amount of such capital or liquidity is materially increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, then such Lender shall so notify the Borrower promptly after such Lender makes such determination and, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Designated Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender within five days from the date of such demand, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling entity in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines in good faith such increase in capital or liquidity to be material and allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder.  A certificate of such Lender as to such amount in reasonable detail and stating the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certifying that such Lender’s method of allocating such increase of capital is fair and reasonable and that such Lender’s demand for payment of such increase of capital hereunder is not 


21







inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are substantially similar to the Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions, submitted to the Borrower and the Designated Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes hereof, absent manifest error.
(c)    The Borrower shall not be obligated to pay under this Section 2.11 any amounts which relate to costs or increases of capital incurred prior to the 12  months immediately preceding the date of demand for payment of such amounts by any Lender, unless the applicable law, regulation, guideline or request resulting in such costs or increases of capital is imposed retroactively.  In the case of any law, regulation, guideline or request which is imposed retroactively, the Lender making demand for payment of any amount under this Section 2.11 shall notify the Borrower not later than 12 months from the date that such Lender should reasonably have known of such law, regulation, guideline or request and the Borrower’s obligation to compensate such Lender for such amount is contingent upon such Lender so notifying the Borrower; provided, however, that any failure by such Lender to provide such notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.11 with respect to amounts resulting from costs or increases of capital incurred after the date which occurs 12 months immediately preceding the date on which such Lender notified the Borrower of such law, regulation, guideline or request.
(d)    If any Lender shall subsequently recoup any costs (other than from the Borrower) for which such Lender has theretofore been compensated by the Borrower under this Section 2.11, such Lender shall remit to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount of such recoupment.  Amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be paid in addition to, and without duplication of, any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.14.
(e)    For purposes hereof, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be changes in law or regulation referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, promulgated or issued.
(f)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the payment in full (after the Maturity Date) of all payment obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances hereunder.
SECTION 2.12  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Designated Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or in any Committed Currency or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or in any Committed Currency, (a) the obligation of such Lender to make, or to Convert Base Rate Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Designated Agent, and the Designated Agent shall notify the Borrower and the other Lenders, that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist (which notice shall be given promptly after the Designated Agent has been advised by such Lender that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist) and (b) the Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all Eurocurrency Rate Advances of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, unless, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in Dollars, the Borrower, within five Business Days of notice from the Designated Agent or, if permitted by law, on and 


22







as of the last day of the then-existing Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advance, Converts it into a Base Rate Advance.
SECTION 2.13  Payments and Computations.  (a)  The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (and under the Notes, if any), irrespective of any right of set-off or counterclaim, except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due, in Dollars to the Designated Agent at the Designated Agent’s Account in same day funds.  The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of set-off or counterclaim, with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency, not later than 9:00 A.M. (at the Payment Office for such Committed Currency) on the day when due, in such Committed Currency to the Designated Agent, by deposit of such funds to the Designated Agent’s Account in same day funds.  The Designated Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Sections  2.11, 2.14, 8.04 and 8.08) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of the extension of the Scheduled Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.20, and upon the Designated Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Extension Date, the Designated Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Designated Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes, if any, issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b)    All computations of interest based on clause (a) of the definition of “Base Rate” or the Eurocurrency Rate with respect to Advances denominated in Sterling shall be made by the Designated Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate with respect to Advances denominated in Dollars or Committed Currencies other than Sterling, the NYFRB Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and of fees shall be made by the Designated Agent, on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in each case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies where market practice differs, in accordance with such market practice after notification of the Borrower), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable.  Each determination by the Designated Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes hereof, absent manifest error (it being understood and agreed that, with respect to any Reference Bank, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Designated Agent to disclose to any other party hereto (other than the Borrower) any information regarding such Reference Bank or any rate provided by such Reference Bank in accordance with the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate”, including, without limitation, whether such Reference Bank has provided a rate or the rate provided by any such Reference Bank).
(c)    Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes, if any, shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of 


23







interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(d)    Unless the Designated Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Designated Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Designated Agent on such date and the Designated Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Designated Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Designated Agent, forthwith on demand, such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Designated Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Designated Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies.
SECTION 2.14  Taxes.  (a)  Subject to Section 2.14(f) below, any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes, if any, shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.13, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender and the Designated Agent, taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) in the case of each Lender and the Designated Agent, taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or by any other jurisdiction in which such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, is doing business that is unrelated to this Agreement, (iii) in the case of a Lender and the Designated Agent, U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such recipient with respect to an applicable interest in this Agreement, an Advance or a Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (A) such recipient acquires such interest in this Agreement, Advance or Commitment, or (B) such recipient changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.14, amounts with respect to such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholding, and all liabilities with respect thereto, were payable either to such recipient’s assignor immediately before such Lender or the Designated Agent became a party hereto or to such Lender or the Designated Agent immediately before it changed its lending office, and (iv) in the case of each Lender and the Designated Agent or other recipient of payments hereunder, any withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (all such excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges and liabilities being referred to as “Excluded Taxes”, and all taxes levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities that are not Excluded Taxes being referred to as “Taxes”).  Subject to Section 2.14(f) below, if the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions of Taxes (including deductions of Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)    In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any 


24







payment made hereunder or under the Notes, if any, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes, if any (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c)    (i)  Subject to Section 2.14(f), the Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Designated Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) paid by such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties (to the extent not imposed as a result of such Lender’s or the Designated Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Designated Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.
(ii)    Each Lender will severally indemnify the Designated Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (A) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Designated Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (B) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.07(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (C) any Excluded Taxes that are attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Designated Agent in connection with this Agreement, 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 Designated Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Designated Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Designated Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Designated Agent under this Section 2.14(c)(ii).
(d)    Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Designated Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, to the extent that such a receipt is issued, or if such receipt is not issued, other evidence of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Designated Agent.
(e)    (i)  Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement, and each such Lender that is not a party hereto on the date hereof shall deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.20 or 8.07, as the case may be, two true, accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-9 for purposes of certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement.  Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement, and each such Lender that is not a party hereto on the date hereof shall deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.20 or 8.07, as the case may be, two true, accurate and complete original signed copies of (A) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E  (or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder), (B) IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder) or (C) IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder) accompanied by IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, as appropriate, in each case for purposes of certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement.  As applicable, each Lender further agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent from time to time, as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Designated Agent, and in any case before or 


25







promptly upon the occurrence of any events requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14(e), a true, accurate and complete original signed copy of (A) IRS Form W-9 (or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder), (B) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder), (C) within 15 days prior to every third anniversary of the date of delivery of the initial IRS Form W-8ECI by such Lender (or more often if required by law) on which this Agreement is still in effect, IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder) or (D) IRS Form W-8IMY(or any successor or substitute form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder) accompanied by IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, as appropriate, in each case for purposes of certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement.  If any form or document referred to in this Section 2.14(e)(i) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by IRS Forms W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY, that any Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender promptly shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Designated Agent and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information; provided that such Lender certifies to the Borrower that the failure to disclose such confidential information does not increase the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.14.
(ii)     If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to United States withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Designated Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Designated Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Designated Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Designated 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 Section 2.14(e)(ii) “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(f)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.14 to the contrary, for any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in Section 2.14(e) establishing its exemption from United States withholding tax or backup withholding tax on payments hereunder (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to any payments under this Section 2.14 with respect to United States withholding taxes; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to United States withholding taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such United States withholding taxes.
(g)    Without affecting its rights under this Section 2.14 or any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender agrees that if any Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed and required by law to be paid or to be withheld from any amount payable to any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office with respect to which the Borrower would be obligated pursuant to this Section 2.14 to increase any amounts payable to such Lender or to pay any such Taxes or Other Taxes, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative Applicable Lending Office which would not result in the imposition of such Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to select an alternative Applicable 


26







Lending Office if such Lender determines that (i) as a result of such selection, such Lender would be in violation of an applicable law, regulation or treaty, or would incur unreasonable additional costs or expenses, or (ii) such selection would be inadvisable for regulatory reasons or inconsistent with the interests of such Lender.
(h)    Each Lender agrees with the Borrower that it will take all reasonable actions by all usual means (i) to secure and maintain the benefit of all benefits available to it under the provisions of any applicable double tax treaty concluded by the United States to which such Lender may be entitled by reason of the location of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or its place of incorporation or its status as an enterprise of any jurisdiction having any such applicable double tax treaty, if such benefit would reduce the amount payable by the Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.14, and (ii) otherwise to cooperate with the Borrower to minimize the amount payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obliged to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations or to reorder its tax affairs or tax planning pursuant hereto.
(i)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (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 Section 2.14(i) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.14(i) 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.
(j)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.14 shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest on all Advances and the termination of this Agreement until such date as all applicable statutes of limitations (including any extensions thereof) have expired with respect to such agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.14.
SECTION 2.15  Sharing of Payments, etc.  If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the Advances made by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14, 8.04 or 8.08) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with 


27







respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 2.16  Mandatory Assignment by a Lender; Mitigation.  If any Lender (a) requests from the Borrower either reimbursement for increased costs pursuant to Section 2.11, or payment of or reimbursement for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender notifies the Designated Agent that it is unlawful for such Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 2.12, (b) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or consent that under Section 8.01 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders) and with respect to which the Majority Lenders shall have granted their consent or (c) is a Defaulting Lender, (i) in the case of clause (a), such Lender will, upon three Business Days’ notice by the Borrower to such Lender and the Designated Agent, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies and applicable legal and regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain its Eurocurrency Rate Advances through another office of such Lender if (A) as a result thereof, the additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section  2.11 or 2.14, as applicable, in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Advances would be materially reduced or the provisions of Section 2.12 would not apply to such Lender, as applicable, and (B) as determined by such Lender in good faith but in its sole discretion, the making or maintaining of such Eurocurrency Rate Advances through such other office would not otherwise materially and adversely affect such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or such Lender and (ii) in case of clauses (a), (b) and (c), unless such Lender has theretofore taken steps to remove or cure, and has removed or cured, the conditions creating such obligation to pay such additional amounts or the circumstances described in Section 2.12 or has consented to the amendment, waiver or consent specified in clause (b), or is no longer a Defaulting Lender (other than if it became a Defaulting Lender due to a Bail-In Action, in which case such Borrower’s right shall continue notwithstanding), the Borrower may designate an Eligible Assignee to purchase for cash (pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance) all, but not less than all, of the Advances then owing to such Lender and to acquire and assume all, but not less than all, of such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of each such Advance then owing to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any accrued but unpaid fees owing thereto and, in addition, (A) all additional cost reimbursements, expense reimbursements and indemnities, if any, owing in respect of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder, and all other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Lender hereunder, at such time shall be paid to such Lender and (B) if such Eligible Assignee is not otherwise a Lender at such time, any applicable processing and recordation fee under Section 8.07(a) for such assignment shall have been paid; provided that, in the case of any assignment resulting from the circumstances specified in clause (b), the Eligible Assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent and, as a result of such assignment and any contemporaneous assignments, the applicable amendment, waiver or consent can be effected.
SECTION 2.17  Evidence of Debt.  (a)  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.  The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Designated Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and such Lender (each, a “Note”), payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of such promissory note or other 


28







evidence of indebtedness shall not be a condition precedent to the making of any Advance under this Agreement.
(b)    The Register maintained by the Designated Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances and currencies comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by the Designated Agent, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Designated Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)    Entries made in good faith by the Designated Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Designated Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.18  Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.18, the Borrower will not use the proceeds of any Advance to purchase the capital stock of any corporation in a transaction, or as part of a series of transactions, (i) the purpose of which is, at the time of any such purchase, to acquire control of such corporation or (ii) the result of which is the ownership by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of 10% or more of the capital stock of such corporation, in either case if the board of directors of such corporation has publicly announced its opposition to such transaction.
SECTION 2.19  [Intentionally Omitted.]
SECTION 2.20  Extension of Scheduled Termination Date.  (a)  At least 45 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date, the Borrower, by written notice to the Designated Agent, may request an extension of the Scheduled Termination Date for an additional 364-day period from its then scheduled date.  The Designated Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request, and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not later than 30 days prior to such Scheduled Termination Date, notify the Borrower and the Designated Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such extension.  If any Lender shall fail to notify the Designated Agent and the Borrower in writing of its consent to any such request for extension of the Scheduled Termination Date at least 30 days prior to such Scheduled Termination Date, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Declining Lender with respect to such request.  The Designated Agent shall notify the Borrower not later than 25 days prior to such Scheduled Termination Date of the decision of the Lenders regarding the Borrower’s request for an extension of the Scheduled Termination Date.
(b)    If all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.20, the Scheduled Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as of the Scheduled Termination Date theretofore in effect (the “Extension Date”), be extended for an additional 364-day period; provided that (i) on such Extension Date, no Event of Default, or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, or would occur as a consequence thereof, (ii) the representations and 


29







warranties contained in Section 4.02 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Extension Date, before and after giving effect to the extension of the Scheduled Termination Date, and (iii) on or prior to such Extension Date, the Borrower shall not have exercised the Term-Out Option.  If fewer than all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.20, subject to the Borrower’s satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Scheduled Termination Date shall, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, be extended as to those Lenders that so consented (each, an “Extending Lender”) but shall not be extended as to any other Lender (each, a “Declining Lender”).  To the extent that the Commitment of any Declining Lender is not assumed in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 2.20 on or prior to the applicable Extension Date, the Commitment of such Declining Lender shall automatically terminate in whole on such Extension Date without any further notice or other action by the Borrower, such Lender or any other Person, and any outstanding Advances due to such Declining Lender shall be paid in full on such Extension Date (and on such Extension Date the Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of Advances as shall be required in order that, after giving effect thereto and to the termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, the Declining Lenders pursuant to this sentence, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Dollars then outstanding and (B) the Equivalent in Dollars of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Committed Currencies then outstanding will not exceed the aggregate Commitments); provided that such Declining Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14, 8.04 and 8.08, and its obligations under Section 7.05, shall survive the Termination Date for such Lender as to matters occurring prior to such date.  It is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for any requested extension of the Scheduled Termination Date.
(c)    If there are any Declining Lenders, the Borrower may arrange for one or more Extending Lenders or other Eligible Assignees that will agree to the extension of the Scheduled Termination Date to assume, effective as of the Extension Date, any Declining Lender’s Commitment and all of the obligations of such Declining Lender under this Agreement thereafter arising, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Declining Lender (each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to assume a Declining Lender’s Commitment in accordance with this Section 2.20(c), an “Assuming Lender”); provided, however, that the amount of the Commitment of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution shall in no event be less than $25,000,000 unless the amount of the Commitment of such Declining Lender is less than $25,000,000, in which case such Assuming Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; provided further that:
(i)    any such Extending Lender or Assuming Lender shall have paid to such Declining Lender (A) the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest accrued and unpaid to the effective date of the assignment on, the outstanding Advances, if any, of such Declining Lender plus (B) any accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Declining Lender as of the effective date of such assignment;
(ii)    all additional cost reimbursements, expense reimbursements and indemnities payable to such Declining Lender, and all other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Declining Lender hereunder, as of the effective date of such assignment shall have been paid to such Declining Lender; and
(iii)    with respect to any such Assuming Lender, any applicable processing and recordation fee required under Section 8.07(a) for such assignment shall have been paid;
provided further that such Declining Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14, 8.04 and 8.08, and its obligations under Section 7.05, shall survive such substitution as to matters occurring prior to the date of substitution.  At least three Business Days prior to the applicable Extension Date, (A) each Assuming 


30







Lender, if any, shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Designated Agent an assumption agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Designated Agent (an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Assuming Lender, such Declining Lender, the Borrower and the Designated Agent and (B) any such Extending Lender shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Designated Agent as to the increase in the amount of its Commitment.  Each Declining Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall deliver to the Designated Agent on or before the applicable Extension Date any Note or Notes held by such Declining Lender.  Upon the payment or prepayment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, each such Extending Lender or Assuming Lender, as of the Extension Date, will be substituted for such Declining Lender under this Agreement and shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, without any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, and the obligations of each such Declining Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged.
(d)    If all of the Extending Lenders and Assuming Lenders (after giving effect to any assignments and assumptions pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.20) consent in writing to a requested extension (whether by written consent pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.20, by execution and delivery of an Assumption Agreement or otherwise) not later than one Business Day prior to such Extension Date, the Designated Agent shall so notify the Borrower, and, so long as (i) no Event of Default, or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing as of such Extension Date, or would occur as a consequence thereof, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.02 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Extension Date, before and after giving effect to the extension of the Scheduled Termination Date, and (iii) the Borrower shall not have exercised the Term-Out Option, the Scheduled Termination Date then in effect shall be extended for the additional 364-day period, as described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.20, and all references in this Agreement, and in the Notes, if any, to the “Scheduled Termination Date” shall, with respect to each Extending Lender and each Assuming Lender for such Extension Date, refer to the Scheduled Termination Date as so extended.  Promptly following each Extension Date, the Designated Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension of the Scheduled Termination Date in effect immediately prior thereto and shall thereupon record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each such Extending Lender and each such Assuming Lender.
SECTION 2.21  Defaulting Lenders.  (a)  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if one or more Lenders become Defaulting Lenders, then, upon notice to such effect by the Designated Agent (which notice shall be given promptly after the Designated Agent becomes aware that any Lender shall have become a Defaulting Lender, including as a result of being advised thereof by the Borrower) (such notice being referred to as a “Defaulting Lender Notice”), the following provisions shall apply for so long as any such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(i)    no commitment fee shall accrue or at any time be payable for such period on the unused amount of the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(a); and
(ii)    the Commitment and outstanding Advances of each Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded in determining whether the requisite Lenders shall have taken any action hereunder (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification pursuant to Section 8.01); provided that any waiver, amendment or other modification that, disregarding the effect of this clause (ii), requires the consent of all Lenders or of all Lenders affected thereby and which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other Lenders or affected Lenders, as the case may be, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.


31







(b)    Any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 but excluding Section 2.16) shall, unless the Borrower otherwise agrees in writing in its sole discretion, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Designated Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Designated Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Designated Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Designated Agent, (iii) third, if so determined by the Designated Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (iv) fourth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (v) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c)    In the event that the Designated Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes hereof and (ii) such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Advances of the other Lenders as the Designated Agent shall determine to be necessary in order for the Lenders to hold such Advances ratably in accordance with their Commitments.
(d)    No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of the operation of this Section. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower, the Designated Agent or any Non-Defaulting Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 
SECTION 2.22  Term-Out Option.  The Borrower may, by irrevocable written notice to the Designated Agent given not fewer than 15 days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date, elect (such election, the “Term-Out Option”), effective as of the Scheduled Termination Date (the “Term-Out Date”), to extend the Maturity Date for all or a portion of the Advances outstanding on such date to March 8, 2020; provided that such extension of the Maturity Date shall become effective only if, on the Term-Out Date, (a) no Event of Default, or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, or would occur as consequence of the exercise of the Term-Out Option, (b) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.02 shall be correct in all material respects on and as of the Term-Out Date, before and after giving effect to the Term-Out Option, and (c) the Borrower shall pay the term-out fee to the Designated Agent for the account of each Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(b).  In the event the Maturity Date shall be so extended, (i) all Advances that are subject to such extension and outstanding on the Scheduled Termination Date shall continue to constitute Advances following such date, (ii) all Advances that are not subject to such extension but are outstanding on the Scheduled Termination Date shall be repaid on such date, (iii) the Commitments will terminate and the commitment fee shall cease to accrue, in each case on the Scheduled Termination Date, and (iv) the Borrower may not borrow or reborrow any additional Advances on or after such date.

33







SECTION 3.02  Conditions Precedent to Each Borrowing.  The obligation of each Lender to make an Advance on the occasion of each Borrowing (including the initial Borrowing) shall be subject to the further conditions precedent that the Effective Date shall have occurred and on the date of such Borrowing the following statements shall be true (and each of the giving of the applicable Notice of Borrowing and the acceptance by the Borrower of the proceeds of such Borrowing shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that on the date of such Borrowing such statements are true):

ARTICLE IV 
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 4.01  Representations and Warranties of the Borrower.  The Borrower represents and warrants as of the Effective Date and from time to time thereafter as required under this Agreement as follows:

or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties; provided that materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(e)(i) or (ii) shall be delivered to the Designated Agent as specified in Section 8.02(b) or as otherwise specified to the Borrower by the Designated Agent; and provided further that such materials shall be deemed delivered to the Designated Agent to the extent posted and available on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov.  All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telecopied or e-mailed, be effective when deposited in the mails, telecopied or confirmed by e-mail, respectively, except that notices and communications to the Designated Agent pursuant to Article II or VII shall not be effective until received by the Designated Agent.  Delivery by telecopier, electronic mail or other electronic means of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or of any Exhibit hereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.
(b)    The Borrower agrees that the Designated Agent may make materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(e)(i) and (ii), as well as any other written information, documents, instruments (other than the Notes) and other material relating to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby 


45







(collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on Debtdomain or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”).  The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Designated Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Designated Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.
(c)    Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if reasonably requested by any Lender, the Designated Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by e-mail or telecopier.  Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Designated Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail addresses to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Designated Agent has on record effective e-mail addresses for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
SECTION 8.03  No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of any Lender or the Designated Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 8.04  Costs and Expenses.  (a)  The Borrower agrees promptly to pay all actual, reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the actual, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one counsel) of the Designated Agent in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and all related documentation and the syndication of the credit facility established hereby.  The Borrower further agrees to pay, within five Business Days of demand, all actual, reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Designated Agent and each Lender, if any, in connection with the enforcement (whether through legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a); provided, that any such costs and expenses consisting of fees and expenses of counsel shall be limited to the actual, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one counsel for the Designated Agent and no more than one additional counsel for the Lenders as a group (together with (i) such local counsel, limited in each case to one such local counsel for the Designated Agent and one such local counsel for the Lenders as a group per jurisdiction, that may be reasonably required by the Designated Agent or the Lenders and (ii) if any Lender shall have reasonably concluded (based upon the advice of counsel) that its representation by counsel for the Lenders creates a conflict of interest for such counsel, such separate counsel as such Lender may reasonably require).
(b)    If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurocurrency Rate Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.10 or acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason (other than by reason of a payment pursuant to Section 2.12), the Borrower shall, within five Business Days of demand by any Lender (with a copy of such demand to the 


46







Designated Agent), pay to such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.  All obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.04 shall survive the making and repayment of the Advances and the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.05  Right of Set-off.  Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Designated Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding trust accounts) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Designated Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
SECTION 8.06  Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective as specified in Section 3.01 and, thereafter, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Designated Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender.
SECTION 8.07  Assignments and Participations.  (a)  Each Lender may and, if requested by the Borrower upon notice by the Borrower delivered to such Lender and the Designated Agent pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.16 will, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the amount (without duplication) of the Commitment and the pro-rata share of outstanding Advances of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (unless the assigning Lender shall assign its entire interest hereunder or such lesser amount is previously agreed among such assigning Lender, the Designated Agent and the Borrower) or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (iv) the parties to each such assignment (other than the Borrower) shall execute and deliver to the Designated Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that the Designated Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than any rights such Lender assignor may have under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.08) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case 


47







of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(b)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:  (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(c), and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Designated Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Designated Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Designated Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(c)    The Designated Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and each Assumption Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Designated Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Designated Agent.
(d)    Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee and, if applicable, the Borrower, together with any Note subject to such assignment, the Designated Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.
(e)    Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owing to it and any Note issued to it hereunder); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Designated Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) such Lender shall not agree in any participation agreement with any participant or proposed participant to obtain the consent of such participant before agreeing to the amendment, modification or waiver of any of the terms of this 


48







Agreement  or any Note before consenting to any action or failure to act by the Borrower or any other party hereunder or under any Note, or before exercising any rights it may have in respect thereof, unless such amendment, modification, waiver, consent or exercise would (A) increase the amount of such participant’s portion of such Lender’s Commitment, (B) reduce the principal amount of or rate of interest on the Advances or any fee or other amounts payable hereunder to which such participant would be entitled to receive a share under such participation agreement, or (C) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Advances or any fee or other amounts payable hereunder to which such participant would be entitled to receive a share under such participation agreement.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Advances, Notes or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is requested by such Person and is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Advance, Note or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Designated Agent (in its capacity as Designated Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(f)    Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing and directly related to the transactions contemplated hereunder; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower received by it from such Lender in accordance with the terms of Section 8.09(a).
(g)    No participation or assignment hereunder shall be made in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time, or any applicable state securities laws, and each Lender hereby represents that it will make any Advance for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and not with a view to the public distribution or sale thereof.
(h)    Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time assign or create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and any Note issued to it hereunder) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank or any foreign central bank having authority over such Lender in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor regulation thereto), any applicable operating circular of such Federal Reserve Bank or any other regulation issued by the applicable foreign central bank; 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.
SECTION 8.08  Indemnification.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Designated Agent, each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of, or in connection with the preparation for a defense of, any 


49







investigation, litigation or proceeding (whether or not an Indemnified Party is a party thereto) arising out of, related to or in connection with the Commitments hereunder or the Advances made hereunder or any transactions in connection herewith, including, without limitation, any transaction in which any proceeds of the Advances are, or are proposed to be, applied (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Party under this Section 8.08 with respect to (i) matters for which such Indemnified Party has been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, but only to the extent of such reimbursement, or (ii) Indemnified Matters found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party.  If any action is brought against any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the institution of such action and the Borrower shall thereupon have the right, at its option, to elect to assume the defense of such action; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not, in assuming the defense of any Indemnified Party in any Indemnified Matter, agree to any dismissal or settlement of such Indemnified Matter without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, if such dismissal or settlement (A) would require any admission or acknowledgment of culpability or wrongdoing by such Indemnified Party or (B) would provide for any non-monetary relief to any Person to be performed by such Indemnified Party.  If the Borrower so elects, it shall promptly assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel (reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party) and payment of expenses.  Such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (1) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Borrower in connection with the defense of such action or (2) the Borrower shall not have properly employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to have charge of the defense of such action, in which case such fees and expenses shall be paid by the Borrower.  If an Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded (based upon the advice of counsel) that the representation by one counsel of such Indemnified Party and the Borrower creates a conflict of interest for such counsel, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Borrower and the Borrower shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party (but shall retain the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Borrower).  Anything in this Section 8.08 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for any Indemnified Party in any jurisdiction as to any Indemnified Matter or for any settlement of any Indemnified Matter effected without its written consent.  All obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.08 shall survive the making and repayment of the Advances and the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.09  Confidentiality.  (a)  None of the Designated Agent or the Lenders may disclose to any Person any confidential, proprietary or non-public information of the Borrower furnished to the Designated Agent or the Lenders by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (such information being referred to collectively herein as the “Borrower Information”), except that each of the Designated Agent and each of the Lenders may disclose Borrower Information (i) to its and its Affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, agents, auditors and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Borrower Information and instructed to keep such Borrower Information confidential on substantially the same terms as provided herein), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 8.09(a), to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this 


50







Agreement, (vii) to the extent such Borrower Information (A) is or becomes generally available to the public on a non-confidential basis, other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.09(a) by the Designated Agent or such Lender, or (B) is or becomes available to the Designated Agent or such Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, agents, auditors and advisors, provided such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement or other legal or fiduciary obligations of secrecy with the Borrower or its Affiliates with respect to the Borrower Information, and (viii) with the consent of the Borrower.
(b)    The Borrower agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any rate provided by an individual Reference Bank hereunder for purposes of setting the Eurocurrency Rate (and the name of such Reference Bank), except (i) to its and its Affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, agents, auditors and advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential on substantially the same terms as provided herein), (ii) as consented to by the applicable Reference Bank, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body, (iv) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder or (vi) to the extent such rate (A) is or becomes generally available to the public on a non-confidential basis, other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.09(b) by the Borrower, or (B) is or becomes available to the Borrower on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the applicable Reference Bank, provided, to its knowledge, such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement or other legal or fiduciary obligations of secrecy with such Reference Bank with respect to the rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that the Borrower may disclose to any Lender the average of the rates quoted by the Reference Banks that provide rate quotes in connection with any determination of the Eurocurrency Rate.
SECTION 8.10  Patriot Act.  Each Lender and the Designated Agent hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow it to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.  The Borrower shall promptly provide such information upon request by any Lender or the Designated Agent.
SECTION 8.11  Judgment.  (a)  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Designated Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at the Designated Agent’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which a final judgment is given.
(b)    If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in a Committed Currency into Dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Designated Agent could purchase such Committed Currency with Dollars at the Designated Agent’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
(c)    The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Designated Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Designated Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be due in 


51







such other currency, such Lender or the Designated Agent (as the case may be) may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Designated Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Designated Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to such Lender or the Designated Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Designated Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.  
SECTION 8.12  Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.  All judicial proceedings brought against the Borrower with respect to this Agreement or any instrument or other documents delivered hereunder may be brought in any state or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan in the State of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower accepts, for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement or any instrument or other document delivered hereunder from which no appeal has been taken or is available.  The Borrower agrees to receive service of process in any such proceeding in any such court at its office at 77 West 66th Street, 15th Floor, New York, New York 10023, Attention:  Kenneth E. Newman (or at such other address in the Borough of Manhattan in the State of New York as the Borrower shall notify the Designated Agent from time to time) and, if the Borrower ever ceases to maintain such office in the Borough of Manhattan, irrevocably designates and appoints Corporation Service Company, 1180 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 210, New York, New York 10036, or any other address in the State of New York communicated by Corporation Service Company to the Designated Agent, as its agent to receive on its behalf service of all process in any such proceeding in any such court, such service being hereby acknowledged by the Borrower to be effective and binding service in every respect.
SECTION 8.13  Substitution of Currency.  If a change in any Committed Currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definition of Eurocurrency Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Designated Agent (acting reasonably, in consultation with the Borrower and in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders and the Borrower in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such Committed Currency had occurred.
SECTION 8.14  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
SECTION 8.15  Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.  A full set of executed counterparts of this Agreement shall be lodged with each of the Designated Agent and the Borrower.  Any Notes issued hereunder shall be delivered in original hard copy to the Lender requesting such Note.
SECTION 8.16  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other 


52







jurisdiction.  The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the prohibited or unenforceable provision with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited or unenforceable provision.
SECTION 8.17  No Fiduciary Relationship.  The Borrower, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Designated Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates are acting pursuant to a contractual relationship on an arm’s-length basis, and the parties hereto do not intend that the Designated Agent, the Lenders or their Affiliates act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.
