WHEREAS, the Banks are willing to make such credit facility available upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereafter set forth; 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree that, effective as of the Closing Date (as defined below), the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
SECTION 1.  DEFINITIONS 
1.1  Defined Terms 
.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

For purposes hereof:  “Prime Rate” shall mean the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the Prime Rate not being intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in connection with extensions of credit to debtors).

(a)  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Bank severally agrees to make loans on a revolving credit basis (“Committed Rate Loans”) to any Specified Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period; provided, that no Committed Rate Loan shall be made by any Bank if, after giving effect to the making of such Loan and the simultaneous application of the proceeds thereof, (i) the aggregate amount of the Exposure of all the Banks would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Foreign Currency Exposure in respect of any Available Foreign Currency would exceed the Foreign Currency Exposure Sublimit for such Currency (iii) in the case of Committed Rate Loans denominated in an Available Foreign Currency, the aggregate principal amount of Committed Rate Loans outstanding to a Bank in such Currency would exceed the Foreign Currency Revolving Commitment of such Bank in such Currency or (iv) the aggregate amount of the Exposure of a Bank would exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Bank.  During the Commitment Period, the Specified Borrowers may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Committed Rate Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. 
(b)  The Committed Rate Loans may be made in Dollars or any Available Foreign Currency and may from time to time be (i) Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans, (ii) in the case of Committed Rate Loans in Dollars only, Committed Rate ABR Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the relevant Specified Borrower and set forth in the Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion with respect thereto; provided, that no Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loan shall be made after the day that is one month prior to the Termination Date. 
2.2  Procedure for Committed Rate Loan Borrowing 
.  Any Specified Borrower may request the Banks to make Committed Rate Loans on any Business Day during the Commitment Period by delivering a Notice of Borrowing.  Each borrowing of Committed Rate Loans (other than pursuant to a Swing Line refunding pursuant to subsection 4.4, pursuant to subsection 5.5(c) or pursuant to subsection 6.3) shall be in an amount equal to (a) in the case of Committed Rate ABR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate undrawn amount of the Revolving Commitments is less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (b) in the case of Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans, (i) if in Dollars, $5,000,000 or increments of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) if in any Available Foreign Currency, an amount in such Available Foreign Currency of which the Dollar Equivalent Amount is at least $5,000,000; provided, that any borrowing of Committed Rate Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Total Revolving Commitment.  Upon receipt of any such Notice of Borrowing from a Specified Borrower, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank that has a Revolving Commitment in the relevant Currency of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing and of such Bank’s Revolving Borrowing Percentage of the Committed Rate Loans to be made pursuant thereto.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Bank that has a Revolving Commitment in the relevant Currency will make its Revolving Borrowing Percentage of each such borrowing available to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Specified Borrower at the Funding Office, and at or prior to the Funding Time, for the Currency of such Loan in funds immediately available to the Applicable Administrative Agent in the applicable Currency.  The amounts made available by each Bank will then be made available to such Specified Borrower at the Funding Office, in like funds as received by the Applicable Administrative Agent. 
2.3  Repayment of Committed Rate Loans; Evidence of Debt 











(a)  Each Specified Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 13), the then unpaid principal amount of each Committed Rate Loan made by such Bank to such Specified Borrower.  Each Specified Borrower hereby further agrees to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank, interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Committed Rate Loans made to such Specified Borrower from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in subsection 8.14. 
(b)  Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each Specified Borrower to such Bank resulting from each Committed Rate Loan of such Bank from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time under this Agreement. 
(c)  The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 15.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Bank, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Committed Rate Loan made hereunder and each Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Specified Borrower to each Bank under Committed Rate Loans and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Applicable Administrative Agent from each Specified Borrower in respect of Committed Rate Loans, and the amount of each Bank’s share thereof. 
(d)  The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Bank maintained pursuant to subsection 2.3(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Specified Borrower therein recorded absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Specified Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Committed Rate Loans made to such Specified Borrower by such Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Bank and the records maintained by the Administrative Agent in such matters, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
2.4  Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments 
.  The Company shall have the right, upon not less than five Business Days’ notice (which may be conditioned on a refinancing) to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments.  Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect; provided that the Revolving Commitments may not be optionally reduced at any time to an amount which is less than the amount of the Exposure of all the Banks at such time; and provided further that the Revolving Commitments may not be reduced to an amount which is less than $50,000,000 unless they are terminated in full.  Any reduction or termination of Revolving Commitments of any Bank that is also a Swing Line Bank which would result in the Swing Line Commitment of such Bank exceeding the Revolving Commitment of such Bank shall automatically result in a reduction or termination, as applicable, of the Swing Line Commitment of such Bank, such that the Swing Line Commitment of such Bank does not the exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Bank.

2.10  Revolving Commitment Increases 
.  (a) At any time after the Closing Date, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers may request an increase of the Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount up to $500,000,000 by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount (the “Offered Increase Amount”) of such proposed increase (such notice, a “Revolving Commitment Increase Notice”).  The Borrowers may offer to any Bank or any bank or other financial institution that is not an existing Bank the opportunity to provide a new Revolving Commitment pursuant to paragraph (b) below, which other bank or other financial institution shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
(b)  Any additional bank or financial institution that the Borrowers select to offer the opportunity to provide any portion of the increased Revolving Commitments, and that elects to become a party to this Agreement and provide a Revolving Commitment, shall execute a New Bank Supplement with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit K (a “New Bank Supplement”), whereupon such bank or financial institution (a “New Bank”) shall become a Bank for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and Schedule I shall be deemed to be amended to add the name and Revolving Commitment of such New Bank, provided that the Revolving Commitment of any such New Bank shall be in a principal amount not less than $10,000,000. 
(c)  Any Bank that accepts an offer to it by the Borrowers to increase its Revolving Commitment pursuant to this subsection 2.10 shall, in each case, execute a Revolving Commitment Increase Supplement with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit L (a “Revolving Commitment Increase Supplement”), whereupon such Bank (an “Increasing Bank”) shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Revolving Commitment as so increased, and Schedule I shall be deemed to be amended to so increase the Revolving Commitment of such Bank. 
(d)  The effectiveness of any New Bank Supplement or Revolving Commitment Increase Supplement shall be contingent upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such corporate resolutions of the Borrowers and legal opinions of counsel to the Borrowers as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request with respect thereto. 











(e) (i)  Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph (e), if any bank or financial institution becomes a New Bank pursuant to subsection 2.10(b) or any Bank’s Revolving Commitment is increased pursuant to subsection 2.10(c), additional Committed Rate Loans made on or after the date of the effectiveness thereof (the “Re-Allocation Date”) shall be made in accordance with the pro rata provisions of subsection 8.3 based on the Revolving Commitment Percentages (or relevant Foreign Currency Revolving Commitment Percentages, as the case may be) in effect on and after such Re-Allocation Date (except to the extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Bank making an aggregate principal amount of Committed Rate Loans in excess of its Revolving Commitment (or relevant Foreign Currency Revolving Commitment Percentages, as the case may be), in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, the relevant New Banks and Increasing Banks to the extent of, and in accordance with the pro rata provisions of subsection 8.3 based on, their respective Revolving Commitments (or relevant Foreign Currency Revolving Commitments, as the case may be)).  On each Re-Allocation Date, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a notice to each Bank of the adjusted Revolving Commitment Percentages after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Commitments made pursuant to this subsection 2.10 on such Re-Allocation Date. 
(ii)    In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Committed Rate ABR Loans, the applicable Borrower shall make prepayments thereof and one or more Borrowers shall make borrowings of Committed Rate ABR Loans and/or Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans, as the applicable Borrower shall determine, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Committed Rate ABR Loans and Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans outstanding are held as nearly as may be in accordance with the pro rata provisions of subsection 8.3 based on such new Revolving Commitment Percentage. 
(iii)    In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans, such Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans shall remain outstanding with the respective holders thereof until the expiration of their respective Interest Periods (unless the applicable Borrower elects to prepay any thereof in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement), and on the last day of the respective Interest Periods the applicable Borrower shall make prepayments thereof and the applicable Borrowers shall make borrowings of Committed Rate ABR Loans and/or Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans so that, after giving effect thereto, the Committed Rate ABR Loans and Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans outstanding are held by all of the Banks as nearly as may be in accordance with the pro rata provisions of subsection 8.3 based on such new Revolving Commitment Percentage. 
(iv) In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is any outstanding L/C Exposure, the interests of each L/C Participant shall be adjusted in accordance with the pro rata provisions of subsection 8.3 based on the Revolving Commitment Percentages (or relevant Foreign Currency Revolving Commitment Percentages, as the case may be) in effect on and after such Re-Allocation Date. 
(f)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 2.10, no Bank shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. 
2.11  Refunding of Committed Rate Loans Denominated in Available Foreign Currencies 
(a)  Notwithstanding noncompliance with the conditions precedent set forth in subsection 10.2, if any Committed Rate Loans denominated in any Available Foreign Currency (any such Loans, “Specified Loans”) are outstanding on (i) any date on which an Event of Default pursuant to subsection 13(g) shall have occurred with respect to the Company or (ii) any Acceleration Date, then, at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately succeeding (x) the date on which such Event of Default occurred (in the case of clause (i) above) or (y) such Acceleration Date (in the case of clause (ii) above), each Applicable Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have received a notice from the Company pursuant to subsection 2.2 requesting  











that Committed Rate ABR Loans be made pursuant to subsection 2.1 on such second Business Day in an aggregate amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the aggregate amount of all Specified Loans, and the procedures set forth in subsection 2.2 shall be followed in making such Committed Rate ABR Loans.  The proceeds of such Committed Rate ABR Loans shall be applied to repay such Specified Loans.   
(b)  If, for any reason, Committed Rate ABR Loans may not be made pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 2.11 to repay Specified Loans as required by such paragraph, effective on the date such Committed Rate ABR Loans would otherwise have been made, (i) the principal amount of each relevant Specified Loan shall be converted into Dollars (calculated on the basis of the Exchange Rate as of the immediately preceding Business Day) (“Converted Specified Loans”) and (ii) each Bank severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall purchase in Dollars a participating interest in such Converted Specified Loans in an amount equal to the amount of Committed Rate ABR Loans which would otherwise have been made by such Bank pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 2.11.  Each Bank will immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and the proceeds of such participation shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to each Bank having such Specified Loans in such amount as will reduce the amount of the participating interest retained by such Bank in the Converted Specified Loans to the amount of the Committed Rate ABR Loans which would otherwise have been made by it pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 2.11.  All Converted Specified Loans shall bear interest at the rate which would otherwise be applicable to Committed Rate ABR Loans.  Each Bank shall share on a pro rata basis (calculated by reference to its participating interest in such Converted Specified Loans) in any interest which accrues thereon and in all repayments thereof. 
(c)  If, for any reason, Committed Rate ABR Loans may not be made pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 2.11 to repay Specified Loans as required by such paragraph and the principal amount of any Specified Loans may not be converted into Dollars in the manner contemplated by paragraph (b) of this subsection 2.11, (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Specified Loans (calculated on the basis of the Exchange Rate determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which Committed Rate ABR Loans would otherwise have been made pursuant to said paragraph (a)) and (ii) effective on the date on which Committed Rate ABR Loans would otherwise have been made pursuant to said paragraph (a), each Bank severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall purchase in Dollars a participating interest in such Specified Loans in an amount equal to the amount of Committed Rate ABR Loans which would otherwise have been made by such Bank pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 2.11.  Each Bank will immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and the proceeds of such participation shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to each relevant Bank having Specified Loans in such amount as will reduce the Dollar Equivalent Amount as of such date of the amount of the participating interest retained by such Bank in such Specified Loans to the amount of the Committed Rate ABR Loans which were to have been made by it pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 2.11.  Each Bank shall share on a pro rata basis (calculated by reference to its participating interest in such Specified Loans) in any interest which accrues thereon, in all repayments of principal thereof and in the benefits of any collateral furnished in respect thereof and the proceeds of such collateral.   
(d)  If any amount required to be paid by any Bank to any other Bank pursuant to this subsection 2.11 in respect of any Specified Loan is not paid to such Bank on the date such payment is due from such Bank, such obligor Bank shall pay to such obligee Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal funds rate, as quoted to such obligee Bank during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such obligee Bank, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360.  A certificate of an obligee Bank submitted to any obligor Bank  











through the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  
2.12  Certain Borrowings of Committed Rate Loans and Refunding of Loans 
(a)  If on any Borrowing Date on which a Specified Borrower has requested the Banks (the “Specified Foreign Currency Banks”) to make Committed Rate Loans denominated in an Available Foreign Currency (the “Requested Specified Loans”) (i) the principal amount of the Requested Specified Loans to be made by any Specified Foreign Currency Bank exceeds the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Specified Foreign Currency Bank in the requested Available Foreign Currency (before giving effect to the making and payment of any Loans required to be made pursuant to this subsection 2.12 on such Borrowing Date), (ii) the principal amount of such Requested Specified Loan, when added to the outstanding principal amount of all other Committed Rate Loans of such Specified Foreign Currency Banks denominated in the Available Foreign Currency in which the Requested Specified Loans are to be made, does not exceed the aggregate amount of such Specified Foreign Currency Banks’ Foreign Currency Revolving Commitments in such requested Available Foreign Currency and (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the excess described in the foregoing clause (i) is less than or equal to the aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Commitments of all Banks other than such Specified Foreign Currency Banks (before giving effect to the making and payment of any Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.12 on such Borrowing Date), each Bank other than such Specified Foreign Currency Banks shall make a Committed Rate Loan denominated in Dollars to the Company (or any Specified Borrower identified by the Company) on such Borrowing Date, and the proceeds of such Committed Rate Loans shall be simultaneously applied to repay outstanding Committed Rate Loans denominated in Dollars of such Specified Foreign Currency Banks in each case in amounts such that, after giving effect to (1) such borrowings and repayments and (2) the borrowing from such Specified Foreign Currency Banks of the Requested Specified Loans, the excess described in the foregoing clause (i) will be eliminated.  To effect such borrowings and repayments, (x) not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on such Borrowing Date, the proceeds of such Committed Rate Loans denominated in Dollars shall be made available by each Bank other than such Specified Foreign Currency Banks to the Administrative Agent at its office specified in subsection 15.2 in Dollars and in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of such Committed Rate Loans denominated in Dollars toward repayment of outstanding Committed Rate Loans denominated in Dollars of such Specified Foreign Currency Banks (as directed by the Company) and (y) concurrently with the repayment of such Loans on such Borrowing Date, (I) such Specified Foreign Currency Banks shall, in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, make the Requested Specified Loans  in an aggregate amount equal to the amount so requested by the relevant Specified Borrower and (II) the relevant Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Specified Foreign Currency Banks whose Loans to such Borrower are repaid on such Borrowing Date pursuant to this subsection 2.12 all interest accrued on the amounts repaid to the date of repayment, together with any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 8.8 in connection with such repayment, provided that the Administrative Agent shall have provided notice to the Company prior to the making of such Requested Specified Loans that the making thereof would obligate the Company to pay amounts pursuant to subsection 8.8. 
(b)  If any borrowing of Committed Rate Loans is required pursuant to this subsection 2.12, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent in the manner provided for Committed Rate Loans in subsection 2.2, except that the minimum borrowing amounts and threshold multiples in excess thereof applicable to Committed Rate ABR Loans set forth in subsection 2.2 shall not be applicable to the extent that such minimum borrowing amounts exceed the amounts of Committed Rate Loans required to be made pursuant to this subsection 2.12. 
2.13  Extension of Termination Date 











(a)  The Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit J-1 (the “Extension Request”) given no earlier than 60 days prior to the upcoming anniversary of the Closing Date but no later than 45 days prior to such anniversary of the Closing Date, request that the then applicable Termination Date be extended to the date that is one calendar year after the then applicable Termination Date.  Such extension shall be effective with respect to each Bank that, by a written notice in the form of Exhibit J-2 (a “Continuation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent given no later than 20 days prior to the then applicable anniversary of the Closing Date, consents, in its sole discretion, to such extension (each Bank giving a Continuation Notice being referred to herein as a “Continuing Bank” and each Bank other than a Continuing Bank being referred to herein as a “Non-Extending Bank”), provided that (i) such extension shall be effective only if the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Continuing Banks constitute at least a majority of the Total Revolving Commitments on the date of the Extension Request, (ii) any Bank that fails to submit a Continuation Notice at least 20 days prior to the then applicable anniversary of the Closing Date shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension and shall constitute a Non-Extending Bank and (iii) the Company may give no more than two Extension Requests during the term of this Agreement.  No Bank shall have any obligation to consent to any extension of the Termination Date.  The Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of the receipt of an Extension Request promptly after receipt thereof.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks no later than 15 days prior to the then applicable anniversary of the Closing Date which Banks are Continuing Banks and which Banks are Non-Extending Banks, and whether the Administrative Agent has received Continuation Notices from Banks holding Revolving Commitments aggregating at least a majority of the Total Revolving Commitments on the date of the Extension Request. 
(b)  The Commitments of each Non-Extending Bank shall terminate at the close of business on the Termination Date in effect prior to the delivery of such Extension Request without giving any effect to such proposed extension.  On such Termination Date, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Non-Extending Bank, an amount equal to such Non-Extending Bank’s Loans, together with accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon and all other amounts then payable hereunder to such Non-Extending Bank.  If, however, on or before the applicable Termination Date in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Extension Request pursuant to this subsection 2.13, the Company obtains a Replacement Bank pursuant to subsection 15.1(e) for any such Non-Extending Bank and such Replacement Bank agrees to the extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this subsection 2.13, then such Replacement Bank shall for all purposes of this subsection 2.13 and this Agreement be deemed to be a Continuing Bank, and the Loans of such Bank shall not be due and payable pursuant to this subsection 2.13(b). 
SECTION 3.  THE COMPETITIVE ADVANCE LOANS 
3.1  Competitive Advance Loans 
(a)  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, any Specified Borrower may, from time to time during the Commitment Period, request the Banks to offer bids, and any Bank may, in its sole discretion, offer such bids, to make competitive advance loans (“Competitive Advance Loans”) to such Specified Borrower on the terms and conditions set forth in such bids.  Each Competitive Advance Loan shall bear interest at the rates, be payable on the dates, and shall mature on the date, agreed between such Specified Borrower and Bank at the time such Competitive Advance Loan is made; provided, that (i) each Competitive Advance Loan shall mature not earlier than 1 day and not later than 180 days, after the date such Competitive Advance Loan is made and (ii) no Competitive Advance Loan shall mature after the Termination Date.  During the Commitment Period, the Specified Borrowers may accept bids from Banks from time to time for Competitive Advance Loans, and borrow and repay Competitive Advance Loans, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof; provided, that no Competitive Advance Loan shall be made if, after giving effect to the making of such Loan and the simultaneous application of the proceeds thereof, (i) the aggregate amount of the Exposure  











of all the Banks would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Foreign Currency Exposure in respect of any Available Foreign Currency would exceed the Foreign Currency Exposure Sublimit for such Currency.  Subject to the foregoing, any Bank may, in its sole discretion, make Competitive Advance Loans in an aggregate outstanding amount exceeding the amount of such Bank’s Revolving Commitment. 
(b)  The Competitive Advance Loans may be made in Dollars or any Available Foreign Currency, as agreed between the Specified Borrower and Bank in respect thereof at the time such Competitive Advance Loan is made. 
3.2  Procedure for Competitive Advance Loan Borrowing 
(a) Any Specified Borrower may request Competitive Advance Loans by delivering a Competitive Advance Loan Request.  The Applicable Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank promptly by facsimile transmission of the contents of each Competitive Advance Loan Request received by the Applicable Administrative Agent. Each Bank may elect, in its sole discretion, to offer irrevocably to make one or more Competitive Advance Loans to the Specified Borrower by delivering a Competitive Advance Loan Offer to the Applicable Administrative Agent. 
(b) Before the acceptance time set forth in the applicable Competitive Advance Loan Request, the Specified Borrower, in its absolute discretion, shall: 
(i)  cancel such Competitive Advance Loan Request by giving the Applicable Administrative Agent telephone notice to that effect, or 
(ii)  by giving telephone notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent immediately confirmed in writing or by facsimile transmission, subject to the provisions of subsection 3.2(c), accept one or more of the offers made by any Bank or Banks pursuant to subsection 3.2(a) of the amount of Competitive Advance Loans for each relevant maturity date and reject any remaining offers made by Banks pursuant to subsection 3.2(a). 
(c) The Specified Borrower’s acceptance of Competitive Advance Loans in response to any Competitive Advance Loan Request shall be subject to the following limitations: 
(i)  The amount of Competitive Advance Loans accepted for each maturity date specified by any Bank in its Competitive Advance Loan Offer shall not exceed the maximum amount for such maturity date specified in such Competitive Advance Loan Offer; 
(ii)  the aggregate amount of Competitive Advance Loans accepted for all maturity dates specified by any Bank in its Competitive Advance Loan Offer shall not exceed the aggregate maximum amount specified in such Competitive Advance Loan Offer for all such maturity dates; 
(iii)  the Specified Borrower may not accept offers for Competitive Advance Loans for any maturity date in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the maximum principal amount requested in the related Competitive Advance Loan Request; and  
(iv)  if the Specified Borrower accepts any of such offers, it must accept offers based solely upon pricing for such relevant maturity date and upon no other criteria whatsoever and if two or more Banks submit offers for any maturity date at identical pricing and the Specified Borrower accepts any of such offers but does not wish to (or by  











reason of the limitations set forth in subsection 3.2(c)(iii) cannot) borrow the total amount offered by such Banks with such identical pricing, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall allocate offers from all of such Banks in amounts among them pro rata according to the amounts offered by such Banks (or as nearly pro rata as shall be practicable). 
(d) If the Specified Borrower notifies the Applicable Administrative Agent that a Competitive Advance Loan Request is cancelled, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephone notice thereof to the Banks. 
(e) If the Specified Borrower accepts one or more of the offers made by any Bank or Banks, the Applicable Administrative Agent promptly shall notify each Bank which has made such a Competitive Advance Loan Offer of (i) the aggregate amount of such Competitive Advance Loans to be made for each maturity date and (ii) the acceptance or rejection of any offers to make such Competitive Advance Loans made by such Bank.  Before the Funding Time for the applicable Currency, each Bank whose Competitive Advance Loan Offer has been accepted shall make available to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the Specified Borrower at the Funding Office for the applicable Currency the amount of Competitive Advance Loans in the applicable Currency to be made by such Bank, in immediately available funds. 
3.3  Repayment of Competitive Advance Loans; Evidence of Debt 
(a)      Each Specified Borrower that borrows any Competitive Advance Loan hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Bank that made such Competitive Advance Loan on the maturity date, as agreed by such Specified Borrower and Bank (or such earlier date on which all the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 13), the then unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Advance Loan.  Each Specified Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Competitive Advance Loans made by any Bank to such Specified Borrower from time to time outstanding from the date thereof until payment in full thereof at the rate per annum, and on the dates, agreed by such Specified Borrower and Bank at the time such Competitive Advance Loan is made.  All payments in respect of Competitive Advance Loans shall be made by such Specified Borrower to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the Bank that makes such Competitive Advance Loan to the Payment Office and by the Payment Time for the applicable Currency. 
(b)  Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each Specified Borrower to such Bank resulting from each Competitive Advance Loan of such Bank from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time in respect of Competitive Advance Loans.  The entries made in the accounts of each Bank maintained pursuant to this subsection 3.3(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Specified Borrower therein recorded, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to maintain any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Specified Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Competitive Advance Loans made to such Specified Borrower by such Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Bank and the records maintained by any Applicable Administrative Agent in such matters, the records of such Applicable Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 


SECTION 4.  THE SWING LINE LOANS 
4.1  Swing Line Loans 











.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swing Line Bank severally agrees to make swing line loans (“Swing Line Loans”) to any Specified Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period in Dollars; provided, that no Swing Line Loan shall be made if, after giving effect to the making of such Loan and the simultaneous application of the proceeds thereof, (i) the aggregate amount of the Exposure of all the Banks would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans made by a Swing Line Bank would exceed the Swing Line Commitment of such Swing Line Bank, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Exposure of a Swing Line Bank would exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Bank, (iv) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Line Loans of such Specified Borrower would exceed the Swing Line Limit for such Specified Borrower or (v) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Limit.  During the Commitment Period, the Specified Borrowers may borrow and prepay the Swing Line Loans in whole or in part, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. 
4.2  Procedure for Swing Line Borrowing 
.  (a) Any Specified Borrower may request any Swing Line Bank to make Swing Line Loans during the Commitment Period on any Business Day by giving to such Swing Line Bank a Notice of Swing Line Borrowing no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Borrowing Date, or such later time as may be agreed by such Swing Line Bank, acting in its sole discretion, in respect of such Swing Line Loan.  Each borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be in an amount equal to (a) in the case of ABR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate undrawn amount of the Swing Line Commitments is less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (b) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans $1,000,000 or increments of $500,000 thereafter; provided, that any borrowing of Swing Line Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Total Swing Line Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Borrowing Date of each Swing Line Loan, the relevant Swing Line Bank shall make the proceeds thereof available to the relevant Specified Borrower in immediately available funds in Dollars by the Funding Time in accordance with the wire instructions for remittance specified by the Specified Borrower in the Notice of Swing Line Borrowing. 
(b)  Upon the making of any Swing Line Loan, any payment of principal or interest with respect to a Swing Line Loan and on the last Business Day of each month on which a Swing Line Bank has any outstanding Swing Line Loans, such Bank shall deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent a Notice of Swing Line Outstandings. 
4.3  Repayment of Swing Line Loans; Evidence of Debt 
(a)  With respect to each Swing Line Loan, each Specified Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the applicable Swing Line Bank on the earlier of (i) the Termination Date, (ii) the date which is 30 days after the making of such Swing Line Loan, (iii) the date on which such Swing Line Loans become due and payable pursuant to subsection 4.4 and (iv) the date on which all the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 13, the then unpaid principal amount of such Swing Line Loan made to such Specified Borrower.  Each Specified Borrower hereby further agrees to pay the applicable Swing Line Bank interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans made to such Specified Borrower from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in subsection 8.14. 
(b)  Each Swing Line Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each Specified Borrower to such Swing Line Bank resulting from each Swing Line Loan of such Bank from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Swing Line Bank from time to time under this Agreement. 











(c)  The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 15.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Swing Line Bank, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Swing Line Loan made hereunder and each Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto and (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Specified Borrower to each Swing Line Bank under Swing Line Loans. 
(d)  The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Swing Line Bank maintained pursuant to subsection 4.3(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Specified Borrower therein recorded absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Swing Line Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Specified Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Swing Line Loans made to such Specified Borrower by such Swing Line Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Swing Line Bank and the records maintained by the Administrative Agent in such matters, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
4.4  Allocating Swing Line Loans; Swing Line Loan Participations 
(a)  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any Swing Line Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct that the Swing Line Loans owing to it be refunded, by delivering a Notice of Swing Line Refunding.  Upon receipt of a Notice of Swing Line Refunding, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice of the contents thereof to the Banks and, unless an Event of Default described in subsection 13(g) in respect of the Company or the relevant Specified Borrower has occurred, to the Company and the relevant Specified Borrower.  Each such Notice of Swing Line Refunding shall be deemed to constitute delivery by such Specified Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing of Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans in Dollars in the amount of the Swing Line Loans to which it relates, for an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Bank (including each Swing Line Bank in its capacity as a Bank having a Revolving Commitment) hereby agrees to make a Committed Rate Loan to such Specified Borrower pursuant to Section 2 in Dollars in an amount equal to such Bank’s Revolving Borrowing Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans to which such Notice of Swing Line Refunding relates.  Unless any of the events described in subsection 13(g) in respect of the Company or such Specified Borrower shall have occurred (in which case the procedures of subsection 4.4(b) shall apply), each Bank shall make the amount of such Committed Rate Loan available to the Applicable Administrative Agent at the Funding Office, at or prior to the Funding Time, in Dollars in funds immediately available to the Applicable Administrative Agent.  The proceeds of such Committed Rate Loans shall be immediately made available to such Swing Line Bank by the Applicable Administrative Agent and applied by such Swing Line Bank to repay the Swing Line Loans to which such Notice of Swing Line Refunding related. 
(b)  If prior to the time a Committed Rate Loan would otherwise have been made pursuant to subsection 4.4(a), one of the events described in subsection 13(g) shall have occurred in respect of the Company or the relevant Specified Borrower, each Bank (other than the relevant Swing Line Bank) shall, on the date such Committed Rate Loan would have been made pursuant to the Notice of Swing Line Refunding referred to in subsection 4.4(a) (the “Refunding Date”), purchase an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swing Line Loans to which such Notice of Swing Line Refunding related, in an amount equal to (i) such Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage times (ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Swing Line Loans then outstanding which would otherwise have been repaid with Committed Rate Loans (the “Swing Line Participation Amount”).  On the Refunding Date, (x) each Bank shall transfer to such Swing Line Bank, in immediately available funds, such Bank’s Swing Line Participation Amount, and upon receipt thereof such Swing Line Bank shall, if requested by any Bank, deliver to such Bank a participation certificate dated the date of such Swing Line Bank’s receipt of such funds and evidencing such Bank’s ownership of its Swing Line  











Participation Amount and (y) the interest rate on the applicable Swing Line Loan will automatically be converted to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate with an Interest Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin for Committed Rate Loans. If any amount required to be paid by any Bank to any Swing Line Bank pursuant to this subsection 4.4 in respect of any Swing Line Participation Amount is not paid to such Swing Line Bank on the date such payment is due from such Bank, such Bank shall pay to such Swing Line Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal funds rate, as quoted by such Swing Line Bank, during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Bank, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360.  A certificate of a Swing Line Bank submitted to any Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
(c)  Whenever, at any time after the Applicable Administrative Agent or any Swing Line Bank has received from any Bank such Bank’s Swing Line Participation Amount, the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Swing Line Bank receives any payment on account of the related Swing Line Loans, the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Swing Line Bank will distribute to such Bank its Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment on account of its Swing Line Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Bank’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Swing Line Bank is required to be returned, such Bank will return to the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Swing Line Bank any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Swing Line Bank, as applicable. 
(d)  Each Bank’s obligation to make Committed Rate Loans pursuant to subsection 4.4(a) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to subsection 4.4(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against any other Bank or any Specified Borrower, or any Specified Borrower may have against any Bank or any other Person, as the case may be, for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by any party hereto; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  
4.5  Replacement of Swing Line Banks  
(a)  Any Swing Line Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swing Line Bank and the successor Swing Line Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement of a Swing Line Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swing Line Bank.  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Swing Line Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swing Line Bank under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swing Line Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swing Line Bank, or to such successor and all previous Swing Line Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of a Swing Line Bank hereunder, the replaced Swing Line Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swing Line Bank under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swing Line Loans. 
(b)  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swing Line Bank, any Swing Line Bank may resign as a Swing Line Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company and the Banks, in which case, such Swing Line Bank shall be replaced in accordance with subsection 4.5(a) above. 











SECTION 5.  THE LETTERS OF CREDIT 
5.1  L/C Commitment. 
(a)  For the avoidance of doubt, Letters of Credit outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be Letters of Credit hereunder.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Bank agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of any Specified Borrower on any Business Day during the Commitment Period in such form as shall be reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank; provided, that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect thereto (i) the aggregate amount of the Exposure of all the Banks would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, (ii) the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations of an Issuing Bank would exceed the L/C Commitment of such Issuing Bank, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Exposure of an Issuing Bank would exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Bank, (iv) the aggregate amount of the Foreign Currency Exposure in respect of any Available Foreign Currency would exceed the Foreign Currency Exposure Sublimit for such Currency or (iv) the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $200,000,000. 
(b)  Each Letter of Credit shall: 
(i)  be denominated in Dollars or an Available Foreign Currency and shall be either (A) a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of a Specified Borrower, contingent or otherwise, to provide credit support for workers’ compensation, other insurance programs and other lawful corporate purposes (a “Standby Letter of Credit”) or (B) a commercial letter of credit issued in respect of the purchase of goods and services in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (a “Commercial Letter of Credit”; together with the Standby Letters of Credit, the “Letters of Credit”) and,  
(ii)  expire no later than the earlier of 365 days after its date of issuance and five Business Days prior to the Termination Date although any such Letter of Credit may be automatically extended for periods of one year from the current or any future expiration date of the Letter of Credit (unless the Issuing Bank elects not to extend such Letter of Credit) and the extended maturity date is not beyond five Business Days prior to the Termination Date (it being understood that if the Termination Date is extended pursuant to subsection 2.13, no Letter of Credit shall expire after the Termination Date applicable to the Non-Extending Banks if, after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit expiring after the Termination Date applicable to the Non-Extending Banks would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Continuing Banks). 
(c)  Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs or International Standby Practices (ISP98) or Uniform Customs & Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP600), as the case may be, and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of any State of the United States or, if acceptable to the Required Banks and the relevant account party, the jurisdiction of the Issuing Office at which such Letter of Credit is issued. 
(d)  Notwithstanding anything in the contrary in this Agreement, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing, renewing, amending or extending such Letter of Credit, or any law, rule, regulation or treaty applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental body with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance, renewal, amendment or extension of letters of credit generally or any Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to any Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which  











such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; (ii) the issuance, renewal, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; (iii) such Issuing Bank does not as of the issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit issue, renew, amend or extend Letters of Credit in the requested currency; or (iv) any Bank is at that time a Defaulting Bank, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Company or such Bank to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to subsection 8.17) with respect to the Defaulting Bank arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued, renewed, amended or extended or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Exposure as to which such Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to subsection 8.17) with respect to the Defaulting Bank, as it may elect in its sole discretion. 
5.2  Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit under this Agreement 
.  Any Specified Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Bank at its Issuing Office an Application therefor (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent), completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Bank, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Bank may reasonably request.  Upon receipt by an Issuing Bank of any Application, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Bank be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than five Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Bank and such Specified Borrower.  Such Issuing Bank shall advise the Applicable Administrative Agent of the terms of such Letter of Credit on the date of issuance thereof and shall promptly thereafter furnish copies thereof and each amendment thereto to the Company, and through the Applicable Administrative Agent, each Bank. 
5.3  Fees, Commissions and Other Charges 
(a)  Each Specified Borrower for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued hereunder shall pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent, for the account of the Banks (including the Issuing Bank) pro rata according to their Revolving Commitment Percentages, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to the then Applicable Margin for Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans on the daily average undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit. Such commissions shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December to occur after the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and shall be nonrefundable. 
(b)  In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, each Specified Borrower for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued hereunder shall (i) pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering such Letter of Credit and (ii) pay the Issuing Bank such other fees as shall be agreed by the Issuing Bank and such Specified Borrower. 
(c)  The Applicable Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Bank and the Banks all fees and commissions received by the Applicable Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this subsection. 











5.4  L/C Participations 
(a)  Each Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in such Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Bank thereunder.  Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Bank that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for which the Specified Borrower which is the account party under such Letter of Credit has not reimbursed such Issuing Bank to the full extent required by the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Bank upon demand at such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Office an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed. 
(b)  If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection 5.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit is not paid to such Issuing Bank on the date such payment is due from such L/C Participant, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) (A) in the case of any such payment obligation denominated in Dollars, the daily average Federal funds rate, as quoted by such Issuing Bank, or (B) in the case of any such payment obligation denominated in an Available Foreign Currency, the rate customary in such Currency for settlement of similar inter-bank obligations, as quoted by such Issuing Bank, in each case during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360.  A certificate of an Issuing Bank submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
(c)  Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Bank has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with subsection 5.4(a) the Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the account party or otherwise, including by way of set-off or proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Bank), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Bank will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Bank shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Bank, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Bank to it. 
5.5  Reimbursement Obligation of the Specified Borrowers 
(a)  Each Specified Borrower for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued hereunder agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit on each date on which such Issuing Bank notifies such Specified Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent, at its address in the Administrative Schedule for Notices of Borrowing for the applicable Currency) of the date and amount of a draft presented under such Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Bank for the amount of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other reasonable costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with such payment; provided if any Issuing Bank shall notify the Specified Borrower of a drawing after 2:00 p.m. local time of such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Office on the date of any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Specified Borrower will not be required to reimburse such Issuing Bank until the next succeeding Business Day.  Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Bank at its Issuing Office in the Currency in which payment of such draft was made and in immediately available funds. 











(b)  Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by any Specified Borrower under this subsection from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the rate which is (i) in the case of such amounts payable in Dollars, 2% above the ABR from time to time and (ii) in the case of such amounts payable in any other currency, 2% above the rate reasonably determined by the Issuing Bank as the cost of funding such overdue amount from time to time on an overnight basis. 
(c)  Each notice of a drawing under any Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars shall constitute a request by the Specified Borrower for a borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.2 of Committed Rate ABR Loans in the amount of such drawing plus any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 5.5(a)(ii) in respect of such drawing.  The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the date of such drawing. 
5.6  Obligations Absolute 
(a)  The obligations of the Specified Borrowers under this Section 5 shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Specified Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. 
(b)  Each Specified Borrower for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued hereunder also agrees with the Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit that such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and such Specified Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under subsection 5.5(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, (i) the enforceability, validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be unenforceable, invalid, fraudulent or forged, provided, that reliance upon such documents by such Issuing Bank shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank or (ii) any dispute between or among such Specified Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or (iii) any claims whatsoever of any Specified Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. 
(c)  No Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
(d)  Each Specified Borrower for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued hereunder agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on such Specified Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Bank to such Specified Borrower. 
5.7  Letter of Credit Payments 
.  If any draft shall be presented for payment to an Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the account party of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Bank to the account party in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 
5.8  Application 











.  To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5, the provisions of this Section 5 shall apply.  
5.9  Replacement of Issuing Banks 
(a)  Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement of any Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank.  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to and include such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
(b)  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company and the Banks, in which case, such Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with subsection 5.9(a) above. 
SECTION 6.  LOCAL CURRENCY FACILITIES 
6.1  Terms of Local Currency Facilities 
(a)  Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, the Company may in its discretion from time to time designate any Subsidiary of the Company organized under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States as a “Local Currency Borrower” and any Qualified Credit Facility to which such Local Currency Borrower and any one or more Banks (or its affiliates, agencies or branches) is a party as a “Local Currency Facility”, with the consent of each such Bank in its sole discretion, by delivering a Local Currency Facility Addendum to the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent) and the Banks (through the Administrative Agent) executed by the Company, each such Local Currency Borrower and each such Bank, provided, that on the effective date of such designation no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Concurrently with the delivery of a Local Currency Facility Addendum, the Company or the relevant Local Currency Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent) copies of all documentation executed and delivered by any Local Currency Borrower in connection therewith, together with, if applicable, an English translation thereof.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6 or in the definition of “Qualified Credit Facility” in subsection 1.1, the terms and conditions of each Local Currency Facility shall be determined by mutual agreement of the relevant Local Currency Borrower(s) and Local Currency Bank(s).  The documentation governing each Local Currency Facility shall (i) contain an express acknowledgement that such Local Currency Facility shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6 and (ii) designate a Local Currency Facility Agent for such Local Currency Facility.  Each of the Company and, by agreeing to any Local Currency Facility designation as contemplated hereby, each relevant Local Currency Bank (if any) party thereto, acknowledges and agrees that each reference in this Agreement to any Bank shall, to the extent applicable, be deemed to be a reference to such Local Currency Bank.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Local Currency Facility, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. 











(b)  The documentation governing each Local Currency Facility shall set forth (i) the maximum amount (expressed in Dollars) available to be borrowed from all Local Currency Banks under such Local Currency Facility (as the same may be reduced from time to time, a “Local Currency Facility Maximum Borrowing Amount”) and (ii) with respect to each Local Currency Bank party to such Local Currency Facility, the maximum Dollar Equivalent Amount available to be borrowed from such Local Currency Bank thereunder (as the same may be reduced from time to time, a “Local Currency Bank Maximum Borrowing Amount”). 
(c)  Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in no event shall the Local Currency Banks party to a Local Currency Facility have the right to accelerate the Local Currency Loans outstanding thereunder, or to terminate their commitments (if any) to make such Local Currency Loans prior to the earlier of the stated termination date in respect thereof or the Termination Date, except, in each case, in connection with an acceleration of the Loans or a termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement, provided, that nothing in this paragraph (c) shall be deemed to require any Local Currency Bank to make a Local Currency Loan if the applicable conditions precedent to the making of such Local Currency Loan set forth in the relevant Local Currency Facility have not been satisfied.  No Local Currency Loan may be made under a Local Currency Facility if (i) after giving effect thereto, the conditions precedent in subsection 10.2 would not be satisfied or (ii) after giving effect to the making of such Local Currency Loan and the simultaneous application of the proceeds thereof, (A) the aggregate amount of the Exposure of all the Banks would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, or (B) the amount of such Local Currency Bank’s Committed Exposure would exceed the amount of such Local Currency Bank’s Revolving Commitment.   
(d)  The relevant Local Currency Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent) copies of any amendment, supplement or other modification (including any change in commitment amounts or in the Local Currency Banks participating in any Local Currency Facility) to the terms of any Local Currency Facility promptly after the effectiveness thereof (together with, if applicable, an English translation thereof).  If any such amendment, supplement or other modification to a Local Currency Facility shall (i) add a Local Currency Bank as a Local Currency Bank thereunder or (ii) change the Local Currency Facility Maximum Borrowing Amount or any Local Currency Bank Maximum Borrowing Amount with respect thereto, the Company shall promptly furnish an appropriately revised Local Currency Facility Addendum, executed by the Company, the relevant Local Currency Borrower and the affected Local Currency Banks (or any agent acting on their behalf), to the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent) and the Banks (through the Administrative Agent). 
(e)  The Company may terminate its designation of a facility as a Local Currency Facility, with the consent of each Local Currency Bank party thereto in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be executed by the Company, the relevant Local Currency Borrower and each Local Currency Bank party to such Local Currency Facility (or any agent acting on their behalf).  Once notice of such termination is received by the Administrative Agent, such Local Currency Facility and the loans and other obligations outstanding thereunder shall immediately cease to be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall cease to benefit from the Company Guarantee.  
6.2  Reporting of Local Currency Outstandings 
.  On the date of the making of any Local Currency Loan having a maturity of 30 or more days to a Local Currency Borrower and on the last Business Day of each month on which a Local Currency Borrower has any outstanding Local Currency Loans, the Local Currency Facility Agent for such Local Currency Borrower, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Local Currency Outstandings.  The Administrative Agent will, at the request of any Local Currency Facility Agent, advise such Local Currency Facility Agent of the Exchange Rate used by the Administrative Agent in calculating the Dollar Equivalent Amount of Local Currency Loans under the related Local Currency Facility on any date. 











6.3  Refunding of Local Currency Loans 
(a)  Notwithstanding noncompliance with the conditions precedent set forth in subsection 10.2, if any Local Currency Loans are outstanding on (i) any date on which an Event of Default pursuant to subsection 13(g) shall have occurred with respect to the Company, (ii) any Acceleration Date or (iii) any date on which an Event of Default pursuant to subsection 13(a)(ii) shall have occurred and be continuing for three or more Business Days and, in the case of clause (iii) above, any Local Currency Bank party to the affected Local Currency Facility shall have given notice thereof to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Local Currency Loans (“Affected Local Currency Loans”) outstanding thereunder be refunded pursuant to this subsection 6.3, then, at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately succeeding (x) the date on which such Event of Default occurs (in the case of clause (i) above), (y) such Acceleration Date (in the case of clause (ii) above) or (z) the date on which such notice is received by the Administrative Agent (in the case of clause (iii) above), the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have received a notice from the Company pursuant to subsection 2.2 requesting that Committed Rate ABR Loans be made pursuant to subsection 2.1 on such second Business Day in an aggregate amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the aggregate amount of all Local Currency Loans (in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above) or the Affected Local Currency Loans (in the case of clause (iii) above), and the procedures set forth in subsection 2.2 shall be followed in making such Committed Rate ABR Loans.  The proceeds of such Committed Rate ABR Loans shall be applied to repay such Local Currency Loans.  
(b)  If, for any reason, Committed Rate ABR Loans may not be made pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 6.3 to repay Local Currency Loans as required by such paragraph, effective on the date such Committed Rate ABR Loans would otherwise have been made, (i) the principal amount of each relevant Local Currency Loan shall be converted into Dollars (calculated on the basis of the Exchange Rate as of the immediately preceding Business Day) (“Converted Local Currency Loans”) and (ii) each Bank severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall purchase in Dollars a participating interest in such Converted Local Currency Loans in an amount equal to the amount of Committed Rate ABR Loans which would otherwise have been made by such Bank pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 6.3 unless such purchase would cause the Exposure of such Bank to exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Bank.  Each Bank will immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and the proceeds of such participation shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to each relevant Local Currency Bank in such amount as will reduce the amount of the participating interest retained by such Local Currency Bank in the Converted Local Currency Loans to the amount of the Committed Rate ABR Loans which would otherwise have been made by it pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 6.3.  All Converted Local Currency Loans shall bear interest at the rate which would otherwise be applicable to Committed Rate ABR Loans.  Each Bank shall share on a pro rata basis (calculated by reference to its participating interest in such Converted Local Currency Loans) in any interest which accrues thereon and in all repayments thereof. 
(c)  If, for any reason, Committed Rate ABR Loans may not be made pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 6.3 to repay Local Currency Loans as required by such paragraph and the principal amount of any Local Currency Loans may not be converted into Dollars in the manner contemplated by paragraph (b) of this subsection 6.3, (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Local Currency Loans (calculated on the basis of the Exchange Rate determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which Committed Rate ABR Loans would otherwise have been made pursuant to said paragraph (a)) and (ii) effective on the date on which Committed Rate ABR Loans would otherwise have been made pursuant to said paragraph (a), each Bank severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall purchase in Dollars a participating interest in such Local Currency Loans in an amount equal to the amount of Committed Rate ABR Loans which would otherwise have been made by such Bank pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 6.3 unless such purchase would cause the Exposure of such Bank to exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Bank.  Each Bank will immediately transfer to the  











Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and the proceeds of such participation shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to each relevant Local Currency Bank in such amount as will reduce the Dollar Equivalent as of such date of the amount of the participating interest retained by such Local Currency Bank in such Local Currency Loans to the amount of the Committed Rate ABR Loans which were to have been made by it pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 6.3.  Each Bank shall share on a pro rata basis (calculated by reference to its participating interest in such Local Currency Loans) in any interest which accrues thereon, in all repayments of principal thereof and in the benefits of any collateral furnished in respect thereof and the proceeds of such collateral.  
(d)  If any amount required to be paid by any Bank to any Local Currency Bank pursuant to this subsection 6.3 in respect of any Local Currency Loan is not paid to such Local Currency Bank on the date such payment is due from such Bank, such Bank shall pay to such Local Currency Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal funds rate, as quoted by such Local Currency Bank during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Local Currency Bank, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360.  A certificate of a Local Currency Bank submitted to any Bank through the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
SECTION 7.  [RESERVED] 
SECTION 8.  CERTAIN PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE LOANS AND  
LETTERS OF CREDIT 
8.1  Facility Fee; Other Fees; Other Payments 
(a)  The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank holding a Revolving Commitment a facility fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to, but excluding, the Termination Date, computed at the Facility Fee Rate in effect from time to time on the average daily amount of the Revolving Commitment (used and unused) of such Bank during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date or such earlier date on which the Revolving Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof. 
(b)  The Company shall pay to the applicable Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, in each case payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date or such earlier date on which the Revolving Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof or the issuance date, as relevant. 
(c)  The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account and for the account of the Arrangers and the Banks, the fees in the amounts and on the dates agreed to by such parties in writing prior to the date of this Agreement.   
8.2  Computation of Interest and Fees 











(a)  Facility fees and, whenever it is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed; and, otherwise, interest and Letter of Credit commissions shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any determination of the Eurocurrency Rate for Loans denominated in Australian Dollars, Singapore Dollars and Hong Kong Dollars shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the relevant Specified Borrower and the Banks of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate.  Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate or the NYFRB Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate or the NYFRB Rate, respectively.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the relevant Borrower and the Banks of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 
(b)  Each determination of an interest rate by the Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Banks in the absence of manifest error.   
8.3  Pro Rata Treatment and Payments 
(a)  Each payment by the Company on account of any facility fee hereunder and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments of the Banks shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Banks.  Each disbursement of Committed Rate Loans in any Currency shall be made by the Banks holding Revolving Commitments in such Currency pro rata according to the respective Revolving Borrowing Percentages of such Banks.  Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Loans in any Currency shall be made pro rata according to the respective principal amounts of the Loans of such Type and Currency of such Borrower then due and owing to the Banks.  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees, Reimbursement Obligations or otherwise, shall be made without set off or counterclaim.  All payments in respect of Swing Line Loans, Committed Rate Loans or Letters of Credit in any Currency shall be made in such Currency and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office (and in the case of Swing Line Loan, to the applicable Swing Line Bank), and at or prior to the Payment Time, for such Type of Loans and such Currency, on the due date thereof.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute to the applicable Banks any payments received by the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.  
(b)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Bank prior to a Borrowing Date in respect of Committed Rate Loans that such Bank will not make the amount that would constitute its Revolving Borrowing Percentage of such borrowing available to the Applicable Administrative Agent, each Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank is making such amount available to the Applicable Administrative Agent, and the Applicable Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Applicable Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Bank shall pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to (A) in the case of any such Committed Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, the daily average Federal funds rate, as quoted by the Applicable Administrative Agent, or (B) in the case of any Committed Rate Loans denominated in an Available Foreign Currency, the rate customary in such Currency for settlement of similar inter-bank obligations, as quoted by the Applicable Administrative Agent, in each case for the period until such Bank makes such amount immediately available to the Applicable Administrative Agent.  A certificate of the Applicable Administrative Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If such Bank’s Revolving Borrowing Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the  











Applicable Administrative Agent by such Bank within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans in such Currency hereunder, on demand, from the relevant Borrower. 
8.4  Illegality 
.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Bank to make or maintain Loans or to make or maintain Extensions of Credit to one or more Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers or Local Currency Borrowers contemplated by this Agreement, the commitment of such Bank hereunder to make Loans to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers or Local Currency Borrowers, continue Loans to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers or Local Currency Borrowers as such, and maintain Extensions of Credit to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers or Local Currency Borrowers shall forthwith be cancelled to the extent necessary to remedy or prevent such illegality.  Nothing in this subsection 8.4 shall affect the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Loans to the Company.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in any Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. 
8.5  Requirements of Law 
(a)  If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (other than the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws or other organizational or governing documents of the Banks) or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Bank or Issuing Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 
(i)  shall subject any Bank or Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank or from which such Bank obtains funding or credit to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Eurocurrency Loan or Local Currency Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Bank, Issuing Bank or such corporation in respect thereof (except for (A) Non-Excluded Taxes covered by subsection 8.6, (B) taxes excluded under the first sentence of subsection 8.6(a) and (C) changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or Issuing Bank or such corporation); 
(ii)  shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, deposit insurance, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Bank or Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank or Issuing Bank or from which such Bank obtains funding or credit which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate hereunder or the interest rate on such Local Currency Loans under the relevant Local Currency Facility; or 
(iii)  shall impose on such Bank or Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank any other condition; 











and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank or Issuing Bank or such corporation, by an amount which such Bank or Issuing Bank or such corporation reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or Local Currency Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such Bank or Issuing Bank, within five Business Days after its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable, together with interest on each such amount from the date due until payment in full at a rate per annum equal to the ABR.  If any Bank or Issuing Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify the Company, through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Bank or Issuing Bank, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
(b)  If any Bank shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank or Issuing Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or Issuing Bank or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Bank or Issuing Bank or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or Issuing Bank or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Bank or Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Bank or Issuing Bank to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (which written request shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), the Company shall pay to such Bank or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank for such reduction. 
(c)  In addition to, and without duplication of, amounts which may become payable from time to time pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection 8.5, each Borrower agrees to pay to each Bank which requests compensation under this paragraph (c) by notice to such Borrower, on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to any Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loan made by such Bank to such Borrower, at any time when such Bank shall be required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the Board (or, at any time when such Bank may be required by the Board or by any other Governmental Authority, whether within the United States or in another relevant jurisdiction, to maintain reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the Eurocurrency Rate is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Bank which includes any such Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans), an additional amount (determined by such Bank’s calculation or, if an accurate calculation is impracticable, reasonable estimate using such reasonable means of allocation as such Bank shall determine) equal to the actual costs, if any, incurred by such Bank during such Interest Period as a result of the applicability of the foregoing reserves to such Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans. 
(d)  A certificate of each Bank, Issuing Bank, Swing Line Bank or Local Currency Bank setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Bank, Issuing Bank, Swing Line Bank or Local Currency Bank as specified in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, as the case may be, and setting forth in reasonable detail an explanation of the basis of requesting such compensation in accordance with paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, including calculations in detail comparable to the detail set forth in certificates delivered to such Bank in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other comparable credit  











agreements, shall be delivered to the relevant Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The relevant Borrower shall pay each Bank, Issuing Bank, Swing Line Bank or Local Currency Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered to it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.  
(e)  Failure or delay on the part of any Bank or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this subsection shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Bank or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this subsection for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Bank’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
(f)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, a Bank shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this subsection in respect of any Competitive Advance Loan if the event that would otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the Competitive Advance Loan Offer pursuant to which such Loan was made. 
(g)  The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
(h)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in any Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. 
8.6  Taxes   
(a)  Unless required by applicable Requirements of Law, all payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Credit Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding, in the case of any Applicable Administrative Agent and each Bank, (i) net income taxes, doing business taxes, branch profits or similar taxes, and franchise taxes imposed on any Applicable Administrative Agent or such Bank (including, without limitation for all purposes of this subsection 8.6, each Bank in its capacity as an Issuing Bank or as a Swing Line Bank), as the case may be, that are Other Connection Taxes, (ii) taxes that are attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the requirements of subsection 8.6(e), (iii) United States withholding taxes in effect on  the date such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Bank’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the applicable Loan Party with respect to such taxes pursuant to this subsection 8.6(a) and (iv) any taxes imposed by FATCA; provided that, if any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Applicable Administrative Agent or any Bank, as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent, (i) such amounts shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party to the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Bank shall be increased to  











the extent necessary to yield to the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Bank (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement as if such withholding or deduction had not been made. 
(b)  In addition, the Company or the relevant Loan Party shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
(c)  Whenever any taxes are payable by any Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter such Loan Party or the Company shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Bank, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the applicable Loan Party showing payment thereof.  If (i) such Loan Party or the Company fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, (ii) Loan Party or the Company fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence or (iii) any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed directly upon any Applicable Administrative Agent or any Bank, such Loan Party and/or the Company shall indemnify each Applicable Administrative Agent and such Bank for such amounts and any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Applicable Administrative Agent or such Bank as a result of any such failure, in the case of (i) and (ii), or any such direct imposition, in the case of (iii).  The agreements in subsection 8.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
(d)  Each Bank shall indemnify each Applicable Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Bank and that are payable or paid by any Applicable Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent in good faith (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Applicable Administrative Agent for such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so).  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Applicable Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
(e)  (i) Each Bank (including each Assignee) that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax.  Each Bank (including each Assignee) that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Bank”) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Bank from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8-BEN-E (as applicable), W-8ECI, W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms) or successor applicable form, as the case may be, (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Bank claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit M and the applicable IRS Form W-8 (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or (iii) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Company and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Bank on or before the date it becomes  











a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent.  In addition, each Non-U.S. Bank shall deliver such forms promptly upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Bank.  Each Non-U.S. Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, a Non-U.S. Bank shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection that such Non-U.S. Bank is not legally able to deliver. 
(ii) Upon the written request of any Borrower, each Bank promptly will provide to such Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, or file with the relevant taxing authority (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) such form, certification or similar documentation (each duly completed, accurate and signed) as is required by the relevant jurisdiction in order to obtain an exemption from, or reduced rate of Non-Excluded Taxes to which such Bank or the Administrative Agent is entitled pursuant to an applicable tax treaty or the law of the relevant jurisdiction; provided, however, such Bank will not be required to (x) disclose information which in its reasonable judgment it deems confidential or proprietary or (y) incur a cost if such cost would, in its reasonable judgment, be substantial in comparison to the cost of the Company under this subsection 8.6 of such Bank’s failure to provide such form, certification or similar documentation.  Such Bank shall certify in the case of any such form, certification or similar documentation so provided (to the extent it may accurately and properly do so) that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding, or at a reduced rate of deduction or withholding of Non-Excluded Taxes.  A Bank shall be required to furnish a form under this paragraph (e)(ii) only if it is entitled to claim an exemption from or a reduced rate of withholding under applicable law.  A Bank that is not entitled to claim an exemption from or a reduced rate of withholding under applicable law, promptly upon written request of the applicable Borrower, shall inform the applicable Borrower in writing. 
(iii) If a payment made to a Bank under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank 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 Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this subsection 8.6(e)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Solely for purposes of determining withholding taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the effective date of the Amendment, any Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) each of the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 
(f)  If any Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 8.6, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this subsection 8.6 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Bank in the event such Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph  











shall not be construed to require any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. 
8.7  Company’s Options upon Claims for Increased Costs and Taxes 
.  In the event that any Affected Bank shall decline to make Loans pursuant to subsection 8.4 or shall have notified the Company that it is entitled to claim compensation pursuant to subsection 8.5 or 8.6, the Company may exercise any one or both of the following options: 
(a) The Company may request one or more of the Banks which are not Affected Banks to take over all (but not part) of any Affected Banks’ then outstanding Loans and to assume all (but not part) of any Affected Bank’s Revolving Commitments and/or Swing Line Commitments, if any, and obligations hereunder, and if applicable, under any Local Currency Facility.  If one or more Banks shall so agree in writing (collectively, the “Assenting Banks”; individually, an “Assenting Bank”) with respect to an Affected Bank, (i) the Revolving Commitments and/or Swing Line Commitments, if any, of each Assenting Bank and the obligations of such Assenting Bank under this Agreement shall be increased by its respective Allocable Share of the Revolving Commitments and/or Swing Line Commitments, as applicable, and of the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement and if applicable, under any Local Currency Facility and (ii) each Assenting Bank shall make Loans to the Company, according to such Assenting Bank’s respective Allocable Share of the Revolving Commitments and/or Swing Line Commitments, as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and, if applicable, Local Currency Loans and Swing Line Loans, of such Affected Bank, on a date mutually acceptable to the Assenting Banks, such Affected Bank and the Company.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loans, and if applicable, Local Currency Loans and/or Swing Loans, of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 8.8 in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such assumption by the Assenting Bank and prepayment by the Company, such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations or rights hereunder (other than any obligations or rights which according to this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement). 
(b) The Company may designate a Replacement Bank to assume the Revolving Commitments and/or Swing Line Commitments, if any, and the obligations of any such Affected Bank hereunder and if applicable, under any Local Currency Facility, and to purchase the outstanding Loans of such Affected Bank and such Affected Bank’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, without recourse upon, or warranty by, or expense to, such Affected Bank (unless such Affected Bank agrees otherwise), for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and, if applicable, Local Currency Loans and/or Swing Loans, of such Affected Bank plus (i) all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder and (ii) any amount which would be payable to such Affected Bank pursuant to subsection 8.8, and upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Bank, such Replacement Bank, if it is not already a Bank, shall be deemed to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations or rights hereunder (other than any obligations or rights which according to this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement). 
8.8  Break Funding Payments 
.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or Committed Rate Loan that bears interest at the Eurocurrency Rate other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default and as a result of the provisions of subsection 2.11 or 2.12), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day  











of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable hereunder and is revoked in accordance herewith), (d) the failure to borrow any Competitive Advance Loan that bears interest at the Eurocurrency Rate after accepting the Competitive Advance Loan Offer to make such Loan, or (e) the assignment as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to subsection 8.7 of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor or of any Competitive Advance Loan that bears interest at the Eurocurrency Rate, then, in any such event, the Company shall compensate each Bank for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, the interest rate loss to any Bank attributable to any such event shall be deemed to be an amount determined by such Bank to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Bank would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Bank denominated in the Currency of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Currency for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Bank would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Bank were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Bank (or an affiliate of such Bank) for deposits denominated in such Currency from other banks in the eurocurrency market at the commencement of such period.  The Company shall also compensate each relevant Bank for any loss, cost or expense suffered by such Bank as a result of the conversion, pursuant to subsection 2.11(b), of the Currency in which a Loan is denominated, or the purchase or sale, pursuant to subsection 2.11(c), of a participating interest in any Loan.  A certificate of any Bank setting forth any amount or amounts that such Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this subsection shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Company shall pay such Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
8.9  Determinations 
.  In making the determinations contemplated by subsections 8.5, 8.6 and 8.8, each Bank may make such estimates, assumptions, allocations and the like that such Bank in good faith determines to be appropriate.  Upon request of the Company, each Bank shall furnish to the Company, at any time after demand for payment of an amount under subsection 8.5(a) or 8.8, a certificate outlining in reasonable detail the computation of any amounts owing.  Any certificate furnished by a Bank shall be binding and conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
8.10  Change of Lending Office 
.  If an event occurs with respect to any Bank that makes operable the provisions of subsection 8.4 or entitles such Bank to make a claim under subsection 8.5 or 8.6, such Bank shall, if requested in writing by the Company, to the extent not inconsistent with such Bank’s internal policies, use reasonable efforts to (a) designate another office or offices for the making and maintaining of its Loans or (b) obtain a different source of funds or credit, as the case may be, the designation or obtaining of which will eliminate such operability or reduce materially the amount such Bank is so entitled to claim, provided that such designation or obtaining would not, in the sole discretion of such Bank, result in such Bank incurring any costs unless the Company has agreed to reimburse such Bank therefor. 
8.11  Company Controls on Exposure; Calculation of Exposure; Prepayment if Exposure exceeds Revolving Commitments. 











(a) The Company will implement and maintain internal accounting controls to monitor the borrowings and repayments of Loans by the Borrowers and the issuance of and drawings under Letters of Credit, with the object of preventing any request for an Extension of Credit that would result in (i) the Exposure of the Banks being in excess of the Revolving Commitments, or (ii) the Foreign Currency Exposure in respect of any Currency exceeding the Foreign Currency Exposure Sublimit for such Currency, and of promptly identifying and remedying any circumstance where, by reason of changes in exchange rates, (A) the aggregate amount of the Exposure exceeds the Revolving Commitments, or (B) the amount of the Foreign Currency Exposure in respect of any Currency exceeds the Foreign Currency Exposure Sublimit for such Currency.  In the event that at any time the Company determines that (i) the aggregate amount of the Exposure of the Banks exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by more than 5%, or (ii) the amount of the Foreign Currency Exposure in respect of any Currency exceeds the Foreign Currency Exposure Sublimit for such Currency, the Company will, as soon as practicable but in any event within five Business Days of making such determination, make or cause to be made such repayments or prepayments of Loans as shall be necessary to cause (A) the aggregate amount of the Exposure of the Banks to no longer exceed the Revolving Commitments, and (B) the amount of the Foreign Currency Exposure in respect of any Currency not to exceed the Foreign Currency Exposure Sublimit for such Currency. 
(b)  The Administrative Agent will calculate the aggregate amount of the Exposure of the Banks from time to time, and in any event not less frequently than once during each calendar month.  In making such calculations, the Administrative Agent will rely on the information most recently received by it from the HK Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Banks in respect of outstanding Swing Line Loans, from Banks in respect of outstanding Competitive Advance Loans, from Local Currency Facility Agents in respect of outstanding Local Currency Loans and Issuing Banks in respect of L/C Obligations.  Upon making each such calculation, the Administrative Agent will inform the Company and the Banks of the results thereof. 
(c)  In the event that on any date the Administrative Agent calculates that (i) the aggregate amount of the Exposure of the Banks exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by more than 5%, or (ii) the Foreign Currency Exposure in respect of any Currency exceeds the Foreign Currency Exposure Sublimit for such Currency, the Administrative Agent will give notice to such effect to the Company.  After receipt of any such notice, the Company will, as soon as practicable but in any event within five Business Days of receipt of such notice, make or cause to be made such repayments or prepayments of Loans as shall be necessary to cause (i) the aggregate amount of the Exposure of the Banks to no longer exceed the Revolving Commitments, or (ii) the Foreign Currency Exposure in any respect of any Currency not to exceed the Foreign Currency Exposure Sublimit for such Currency. 
(d)  If at any time the Committed Exposure of any Bank exceeds such Bank’s Revolving Commitment, upon demand of such Bank, the Company will within one Business Day prepay Loans in such amounts that after giving effect to such prepayment the Committed Exposure of such Bank does not exceed its Revolving Commitment. 
(e)  Any prepayment required to be made pursuant to this subsection 8.11 shall be accompanied by payment of amounts payable, if any, pursuant to subsection 8.8 in respect of the amount so prepaid. 
8.12  Conversion and Continuation Options 
(a)  By giving a Notice of Conversion, any Specified Borrower may elect from time to time (i) to convert such Specified Borrower’s Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans in Dollars to Committed Rate ABR Loans or (ii) to convert such Specified Borrower’s Committed Rate ABR Loans to Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans in Dollars.  Upon receipt of any Notice of Conversion the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Bank thereof.  All or any part of Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans outstanding in Dollars or Committed Rate ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided  











that (i) no Committed Rate ABR Loan may be converted into a Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Banks have determined that such a conversion is not appropriate and (ii) no Committed Rate ABR Loan may be converted into a Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loan after the date that is one month prior to the relevant Termination Date. 
(b)  By giving a Notice of Continuation, any Specified Borrower may continue all or any part of such Specified Borrower’s Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans as Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans in the same Currency for one or more different additional Interest Periods.   
(c)  Any Specified Borrower may convert Committed Rate Loans outstanding in Dollars or one Available Foreign Currency to Committed Rate Loans in Dollars or a different Currency by repaying such Loans in the first Currency and borrowing Loans of such different Currency in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. 
(d)  If any Specified Borrower shall fail to timely give a Notice of Continuation or a Notice of Conversion in respect of any of such Specified Borrower’s Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loans with respect to which an Interest Period is expiring, such Specified Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Continuation for a Eurocurrency Loan for an Interest Period of one month. 
8.13  Minimum Amounts of Tranches 
.  All borrowings of Committed Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans, all conversions and continuations of Committed Rate Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of (i) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans or Committed Rate Loans comprising each Tranche in Dollars shall be not less than $5,000,000, (ii) in the case of ABR Loans or Committed Rate Loans comprising each Tranche in Dollars shall not be less than $1,000,000 and (iii) Committed Rate Loans comprising each Tranche in any Available Foreign Currency shall be not less than the Dollar Equivalent Amount in such Currency of $5,000,000; provided that any borrowing of Committed Rate Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Total Revolving Commitments and any borrowing of Swing Line Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Total Swing Line Commitments. 
8.14  Interest Rates and Interest Payment Dates 
(a)  Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. 
(b)  Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin. 
(c)  Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest at the Swing Line Rate applicable to such Swing Line Loan. 
(d)  If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Swing Line Loan or Committed Rate Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection plus 2% or (y) in the case of overdue interest, the rate described in paragraph (b) of this subsection plus 2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment). 











(e)  Interest on Swing Line Loans and Committed Rate Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided, that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (d) of this subsection shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
8.15  Inability to Determine Interest Rate 
.  If on or prior to the date on which the Eurocurrency Rate is determined for any Interest Period in respect of any Eurocurrency Loan in any Currency: 
(a)  the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such affected Currency or such affected Interest Period, or 
(b)  on the Business Day prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Banks having Revolving Commitments comprising at least 25% of the Total Revolving Commitments (or, in the case of Loans denominated in an Available Foreign Currency, Banks having at least 25% of the Foreign Currency Revolving Commitments in such Available Foreign Currency) that the Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be determined for such affected Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (as conclusively certified by such Banks) of making or maintaining their affected Committed Rate Loans during such affected Interest Period, 
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Company and the Banks as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given (x) any Eurocurrency Loans requested to be made in such affected Currency on the first day of such affected Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent Amount, (y) any Committed Rate Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such affected Interest Period from ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any Eurocurrency Loans in such affected Currency that were to have been continued as such shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent Amount.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans in such affected Currency shall be made, converted to or continued as such.  
8.16  Optional Prepayments 
.  By giving a Notice of Prepayment (which may be conditioned on a refinancing), any Specified Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, prepay Committed Rate Loans, Competitive Advance Loans, or Swing Line Loans made to such Specified Borrower, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in subsection 8.8 or as provided in the applicable Competitive Advance Loan Offer).  Upon receipt of any such notice the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Bank thereof.  If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 8.8.  Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or an aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent Amount of at least $1,000,000 for Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency. 
8.17  Defaulting Banks 
.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank: 











(a)  fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to subsection 8.1(a); 
(b)  the Revolving Commitment and Exposure of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether the Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to subsection 15.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Bank in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Bank or each Bank directly affected thereby;  
(c)  if any Swing Line Exposure or L/C Exposure exists at the time such Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank then: 
(i)  all or any part of the Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Bank shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages but only to the extent that (x) the sum of the Exposures of all non-Defaulting Banks does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Banks’ Revolving Commitments and (y) the Exposure of each non-Defaulting Bank does not exceed such non-Defaulting Banks’ Revolving Commitment; 
(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company (or applicable Specified Borrower) shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swing Line Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding; 
(iii)    if the Company (or applicable Specified Borrower) cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, no Loan Party shall be required to pay any fees pursuant to subsection 5.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized; 
(iv)    if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Banks is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Banks pursuant to subsection 5.3(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Banks’ Revolving Commitment Percentages; and 
(v)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other Bank hereunder, all fees payable under subsection 5.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks in accordance with their percentages of the L/C Exposure until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;  
(d)  so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank, (i) participating interests in any newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with subsection 8.17(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Bank shall not participate therein) and each Swing Line Bank shall continue to fund Swing Line Loans in accordance with and subject to Section 4 so long as and to the extent the related Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with subsection 8.17(c)(i) and (ii) participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with subsection 8.17(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Bank shall  











not participate therein) and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the Defaulting Bank’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Company (or applicable Specified Borrower) in accordance with subsection 8.17(c); and 
(e)  the Company may designate a Replacement Bank to assume the Revolving Commitments and/or Swing Line Commitments, if any, and the obligations of any Bank that becomes a Defaulting Bank, and to purchase the outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Bank and such Defaulting Bank’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, without recourse upon, or warranty by, or expense to, such Defaulting Bank (unless such Defaulting Bank agrees otherwise), for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of such Defaulting Bank plus (i) all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing to such Defaulting Bank hereunder and (ii) any amount which would be payable to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to subsection 8.8 (assuming that all Loans of such Defaulting Bank were prepaid on the date of such assumption), and upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Bank, such Replacement Bank, if it is not already a Bank, shall be deemed to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and such Defaulting Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations or rights hereunder (other than any obligations or rights which according to this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement). 
If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Bank Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Bank has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Bank commits to extend credit, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Loan Parties or such Bank, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Bank hereunder. 
In the event that each Applicable Administrative Agent, the Company, each Swing Line Bank and each Issuing Bank agrees that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then the Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Banks shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks (and, only if such Bank is a Swing Line Bank, Swing Line Loans) as each Applicable Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage and, if such Bank is a Swing Line Bank, Swing Line Commitment Percentage. Subject to subsection 15.18, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 
Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 13 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Bank pursuant to subsection 15.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to any Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ L/C Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank in accordance with subsection 5.1; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and  











released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to subsection 8.17) with respect to such Defaulting Bank with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection 5.1; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks, the Issuing Banks or Swing Line Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank, the Issuing Banks or Swing Line Banks against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Exposure in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in subsection 10.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Exposure owed to, all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Exposure owed to, such Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to subsection 8.17(c). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post cash collateral pursuant to this subsection 8.17 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

any Lien on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, except for the Liens expressly permitted by subsection 12.3. 
9.6  No Material Litigation

If no successor(s) shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or HK Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Banks and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or HK Administrative Agent, as the case may be, which (i) in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank, or (ii) in the case of the HK Administrative Agent, shall be a bank that is a Bank, or an Affiliate of a Bank. 
14.10  The Arrangers and Syndication Agents 
.  Each Bank acknowledges that none of the Arrangers and the Syndication Agents, in such respective capacity, shall have any duties or responsibilities, or shall incur any liabilities, under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents.  None of the Arrangers and the Syndication Agents, in such respective capacity, shall have or deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. 











SECTION 15.  MISCELLANEOUS 
15.1  Amendments and Waivers 
(a)  Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this subsection.  The Required Banks may, or, with the written consent of the Required Banks, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, (i) enter into with the Loan Parties party thereto written amendments, supplements or modifications to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Banks or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Banks or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the aggregate amount or extend the expiration date of any Bank’s Commitment, in each case without the consent of each Bank directly affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this subsection or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Banks, or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or amend, modify or waive subsection 8.3(a) or 15.6(a), or amend, modify or waive any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Banks required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or any determination granting consent hereunder, or release any Subsidiary from its Subsidiary Guarantee or release the Company from the Company Guarantee, in each case without the written consent of all the Banks, or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 14 or other provision affecting the rights or duties of any Applicable Administrative Agent without the written consent of the then Applicable Administrative Agent(s), or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 5 or other provision affecting the rights or duties of any Issuing Bank without the written consent of the Issuing Banks or (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 4 or other provision affecting the rights or duties of any Swing Line Bank without the written consent of the Swing Line Banks.  Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Banks and shall be binding upon the Company, the Subsidiary Borrowers, the Banks, the Syndication Agents, the Administrative Agent, the HK Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans.  In the case of any waiver, the Company, the Banks, the Administrative Agent and the HK Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under any other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. 
(b)  In addition to amendments effected pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (a), Schedules II, III and IV may be amended as follows: 
(i)  (A) Schedule II will be amended to add Subsidiaries of the Company as additional Subsidiary Borrowers upon (A) execution and delivery by the Company, any such Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent), of a Joinder Agreement providing for any such Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Borrower, and (B) delivery to the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent) of (1) if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent), a legal opinion in respect of such additional Subsidiary Borrower and (2) such other documents with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent) shall reasonably request or as requested by any Bank pursuant to a Requirement of Law.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection 15.1(b)(i), if at any time  











after the Closing Date the Company intends to amend Schedule II to add an additional Foreign Subsidiary Borrower the Company shall, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice,  deliver to the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent) a designation letter duly executed by the Company and such respective Foreign Subsidiary which shall designate such Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower for purposes of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of each such designation by the Company and the identity of the respective Foreign Subsidiary.  If the Company shall designate as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, any Bank may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Bank to act as the Bank in respect of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower. 
(B)    As soon as practicable after receiving notice from the Administrative Agent of the Company’s intent to designate a Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, and in any event at least 10 Business Days prior to the delivery of an executed Joinder Agreement pursuant to this subsection 15.1(b)(i), for a designated Foreign Subsidiary Borrower that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, any Bank that may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such designated Foreign Subsidiary Borrower directly or through an Affiliate (or can not cause any such Affiliate) of such Bank as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph (a “Protesting Bank”) shall so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Bank, the Company shall, effective on or before the date that such designated Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall have the right to borrow hereunder, (A) notify the Administrative Agent and such Protesting Bank of the designation of a Replacement Bank to assume the Revolving Commitments and/or Swing Line Commitments, if any, and the obligations of such Protesting Bank in accordance with clause (e) below, (B) notify the Administrative Agent and such Protesting Bank that the Revolving Commitments and/or Swing Line Commitments of such Protesting Bank shall be terminated; provided that such Protesting Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and/or L/C Obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company or the relevant designated Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), or (C) cancel its request to designate such Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder. 
(ii)  Schedule II will be amended to remove any Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower upon (A) execution and delivery by the Company of a Schedule Amendment providing for such amendment, (b) repayment in full of all outstanding Loans of such Subsidiary Borrower and interest thereon and other amounts owed by such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder and (c) cash collateralization of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Subsidiary Borrower. 
(iii)  Schedule III will be amended to designate other Banks as additional or replacement Swing Line Banks or additional Issuing Banks, upon execution and delivery by the Company, the Administrative Agent and such additional or replacement Swing Line Bank or additional Issuing Bank, as the case may be, of a Schedule Amendment providing for such amendment.  In the case of any replacement of a Swing Line Bank pursuant to a Schedule Amendment, the existing Swing Line Bank replaced pursuant thereto shall cease to be a Swing Line Bank upon the effectiveness of such Schedule Amendment and the repayment of all Swing Line Loans owing to such replaced Swing Line Bank. 











(iv)  Schedule III will be amended to change administrative information with respect to Swing Line Banks or Issuing Banks, upon execution and delivery by the Company, the Administrative Agent and Swing Line Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, of a Schedule Amendment providing for such amendment. 
(v)  Schedule IV will be amended to change administrative information contained therein (other than any interest rate definition, Funding Time, Payment Time or notice time contained therein) or to add Available Foreign Currencies (and related interest rate definitions and administrative information), upon execution and delivery by the Company and the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent) of a Schedule Amendment providing for such amendment. 
(vi)  Schedule IV will be amended to conform any Funding Time, Payment Time or notice time contained therein to then-prevailing market practices, upon execution and delivery by the Company, the Required Banks and the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent) of a Schedule Amendment providing for such amendment. 
(vii)  Schedule IV will be amended to change any interest rate definition contained therein, upon execution and delivery by the Company, all the Banks and the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the HK Administrative Agent) of a Schedule Amendment providing for such amendment. 
(c)  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Bank of any amendment effected pursuant to subsection 15.1(b). 
(d)  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection 15.1, any Local Currency Facility may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with its terms so long as after giving effect thereto either (i) such Local Currency Facility ceases to be a “Local Currency Facility” and the Company so notifies the Administrative Agent or (ii) the Local Currency Facility continues to meet the requirements of a Local Currency Facility set forth herein.  
(e)  The Company may designate a Replacement Bank to assume the Revolving Commitments and/or Swing Line Commitments, if any, and the obligations of any Bank (an “Objecting Bank”) that is a Protesting Bank under clause (b) above or refuses to consent to (x) an amendment, supplement or waiver that both requires the consent of all the Banks in order to become effective and is acceptable to one or more other Banks constituting the Required Banks or (y) any Extension Request, and to purchase the outstanding Loans of such Objecting Bank and such Objecting Bank’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, without recourse upon, or warranty by, or expense to, such Objecting Bank (unless such Objecting Bank agrees otherwise), for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of such Objecting Bank plus (i) all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing to such Objecting Bank hereunder and (ii) any amount which would be payable to such Objecting Bank pursuant to subsection 8.8 (assuming that all Loans of such Objecting Bank were prepaid on the date of such assumption), and upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Bank, such Replacement Bank, if it is not already a Bank, shall be deemed to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and such Objecting Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations or rights hereunder (other than any obligations or rights which according to this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement). 
(f)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Company, may amend, modify or supplement any Credit Document without the consent of any Bank or the Required Banks in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Credit Document.

15.5  Payment of Expenses 
The Company agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the HK Administrative Agent and each Arranger for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, the HK Administrative Agent and each Arranger, (b) to pay or reimburse each Bank and the Administrative Agent and the HK Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Bank and any Issuing Bank for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, the HK Administrative Agent and to the several Banks and any Issuing Bank (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel), and (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Bank, each Agent, each Arranger and the Administrative Agent and the HK Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Bank and any Issuing Bank harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Bank, each Agent, each Arranger and the Administrative Agent and the HK Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Bank and any Issuing Bank (and their affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents) (collectively, the “indemnified person”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties (it being understood that costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of rights under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be paid or reimbursed in accordance with clause (b) above rather than this clause (d)) (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided, that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to any indemnified person with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent such indemnified liabilities are found by a final, nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person.  Without  











limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any indemnified person.  No indemnified person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person.

Any payments required to be made by the Company under this subsection 15.5 shall be made within 30 days of the demand therefor.  The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
15.6  Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments 
(a)  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Specified Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Specified Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this subsection. 
(b)  (i)  Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Bank may assign to one or more assignees, other than a natural person, a Defaulting Bank or the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Assignee”), all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments and/or Swing Line Commitments, if any, and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of: 
(A) the Company (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Bank, an affiliate of a Bank, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under subsections 13(a), 13(c) or 13(g) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and 


(B) the Administrative Agent; and 


(C) the Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Bank (in the case of assignments of the Revolving Commitments). 
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:  
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Bank, an affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Revolving Commitments and/or Swing Line Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Revolving Commitments and/or Swing Line Commitments or Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under subsection 13(a), 13(c) or 13(g) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Bank and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; provided further that after giving effect to any such assignment, the transferor Bank’s aggregate Dollar  











Equivalent Amount of its Local Currency Bank Maximum Borrowing Amount under all Local Currency Facilities may not exceed its Revolving Commitment hereunder; 


(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;  


(C) after giving effect to any such assignment, the transferor or transferee Bank’s Swing Line Commitment, if any, may not exceed its Revolving Commitment hereunder and any purported assignment which would result in the transferor or transferee Bank’s Swing Line Commitment, if any, exceeding its Revolving Commitment hereunder shall not be effective; and 


(D) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire. 


For the purposes of this subsection 15.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank. 
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of subsections 8.5, 8.6, 8.8 and 15.5).  Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 15.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this subsection. 
(iv)  The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Issuing Bank and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
(v)  Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Bank and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Bank hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this subsection and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this subsection, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 











(c)  (i)  Any Bank may, without the consent of any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Company, the Administrative Agent, the HK Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Bank directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of subsection 15.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this subsection, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits, and subject to the limitations, of subsections 8.5, 8.6 and 8.8 to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 15.7(b) as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant  shall be subject to subsection 15.7(a) as though it were a Bank. Each Bank that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall 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 Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank, each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the HK Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 
(ii)  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 8.5 or 8.6 than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent or to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 8.6 unless such Participant complies with such subsection as if it were a Bank. 
(d)  Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority or central bank having jurisdiction over such Bank, and this subsection shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Bank as a party hereto. 
(e)  The Company, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Bank, agrees to issue Notes to any Bank requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above. 











(f)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Bank may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Bank without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in subsection 15.6(b).  Each of the Company, each Bank, the Administrative Agent and the HK Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Bank or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Bank any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Bank; provided, however, that each Bank designating any Conduit Bank hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Bank during such period of forbearance.

(a)  If any Bank (a “benefitted Bank”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations then due and owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 13(g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Bank, if any, in respect of such other Bank’s Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations then due and owing to it, or interest thereon, such benefitted Bank shall purchase for cash from the other Banks a participating interest in such portion of each such other Bank’s Loan or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or shall provide such other Banks with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Bank to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Banks; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Bank, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers agrees that each Bank so purchasing a portion of another Bank’s Loan may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Bank were the direct holder of such portion. 
(b)  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks provided by law, each Bank shall have the right, without prior notice to the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Company hereunder or under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Bank or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be.  Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Bank, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 
15.8  Power of Attorney 
.  Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby grants to the Company an irrevocable power of attorney to act as its attorney-in-fact with regard to matters relating to this Agreement, the Applications and each other Credit Document, including, without limitation, execution and delivery of any amendments, supplements, waivers or other modifications hereto or thereto, receipt of any notices hereunder or thereunder and receipt of service of process in connection herewith or therewith.  Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby explicitly acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the HK Administrative Agent and each Bank has executed and  











delivered this Agreement and each other Credit Document to which it is a party, and has performed its obligations under this Agreement and each other Credit Document to which it is a party, in reliance upon the irrevocable grant of such power of attorney pursuant to this subsection 15.8.  The power of attorney granted by each Subsidiary Borrower hereunder is coupled with an interest. 
15.9  Judgment 
(a)  If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given. 
(b)  The obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Agreement Currency, the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower (as the case may be) agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower (as the case may be) such excess. 
15.10  Counterparts 
.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by email, electronic copy or telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

Excluded ERISA Arrangements 


1.    Extended Separation Benefits 


The Company maintains a broad-based program to shelter employees at all levels from any adverse consequences which might result from a change in control of the Company.  A change in control is defined in the program to include such time that any person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's voting securities or certain changes occur in the constitution of the Company's Board of Directors.  Pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board of Directors in 1998, the period of salary continuation normally extended to employees whose employment is terminated as a result of a workforce reduction or reorganization (which period ranges from six to 24 weeks depending upon the length of service with the Company) is tripled if employment is terminated by the Company (other than for cause) as a result of a change in control.  In addition to this policy, the Company has entered into employment agreements with certain management-level employees, pursuant to which among other matters, such employees will receive one year's compensation and continuation for up to one year of medical and life insurance benefits if their employment is terminated by the Company (other than for cause) within 12 months following a change in control.  The Company also has agreements with a number of divisional and group vice presidents who are not executive officers, which provide such vice presidents with a multiple of their annualized includible compensation (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) and continuation for up to three years of medical, life and other welfare benefits if their employment is terminated by the Company (other than for cause), if their responsibilities or base salaries are materially diminished, or if certain other adverse changes occur within 24 months following a change in control.  Arrow’s executive officers have entered into employment and change of control agreements.  Under the employment agreements, if the executive is terminated without cause, the executive will continue to receive, through the end of the then-remaining term of the agreement, all base salary and benefits (such as life, health, and disability insurance) and cause the immediate vesting of any unvested stock options which would have vested through the then-remaining term of the agreement.  The executive is also entitled to certain restricted units or shares and, in some instances, performance units or shares.  Under the change of control agreements, if the executive’s employment is terminated (i) without cause by Arrow or (ii) for good reason by the executive after a change in control, the eligible terminated executive is entitled to receive:  (i) all unpaid salary through the date of termination (as defined in the employment agreement) and all earned and unpaid benefits and awards (including both cash and stock components); (ii) a lump-sum payment of 2.99 times the executive’s annualized includable compensation as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 280G(d)(1); and (iii) continuation of coverage under the Company’s then current medical plan until the executive reaches 65 years of age (or otherwise becomes eligible for Medicare) or begins receiving equivalent benefits from a new employer.  In addition, all stock options vest immediately and the executive may be entitled to restricted units or shares, and performance shares or shares.  The amounts payable pursuant to such agreements to the executive officers and to the other vice presidents will be reduced, if necessary, to avoid excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code. 


2.    Unfunded Pension Plan 


The Company maintains the Unfunded Pension Plan for Selected Executives of the Company ("SERP").  Under the SERP, the Company's Board of Directors determines those employees who are eligible to participate in the SERP and the amount of their maximum annual pension upon retirement on or after attaining age 60.  Approximately 25 current and former executives are designated participants in the SERP.  The gross SERP benefit is calculated by multiplying 2.5% of final average performance-based compensation (salary and annual incentive) by the participant’s years of credited service (up to a maximum of 18 years).  Final average compensation is the highest average of any three years during the participant’s final five years of service.  The gross benefit is reduced by 50% of the Social Security benefit and the projected benefit of the Company’s 401(k) matching contributions.  The benefits provided under the SERP are payable as a life annuity with 60 payments guaranteed, commencing at age 60, assuming continued employment through normal retirement.   


3.     Wyle Executive Severance Obligations 


In connection with the acquisition of the Wyle Group of Companies, the Company has severance obligations under agreements with certain existing Wyle executives.  Those severance obligations could constitute severance arrangements for purposes of ERISA.  


4.            Executive Deferred Compensation Plan 


The company maintains an Executive Deferred Compensation Plan for approximately 450 highly paid U.S. executives, of which approximately 100 employees participate.  The Plan allows eligible executives to voluntarily elect to defer a portion of their salary (up to 80%) and bonus/commissions (up to 100%).  Deferrals must be for a minimum of two years.  At the end of the deferral period participants may elect to have deferrals distributed to them in either lump sum or installment payments over a designated number of years.  Deferrals will be paid out in a lump sum distribution if termination precedes retirement/long term disability.  Deferrals can be invested among different deemed investment options.  All deferrals and any earnings on those deferrals are general unsecured obligations of the company.   













5.     Wyle SERP Plan 


               The company maintains an unfunded pension plan for approximately 19 former executives of the Wyle Group of Companies. This plan provides for payment equal to the excess of the amounts such executives would normally be expected to receive under the terms of the Wyle qualified plan, over the maximum amounts allowed by ERISA under the qualified plan. 


6.    Wyle Defined Benefit Plan 


The company is responsible for retirement benefits for certain employees the Wyle provided under a defined benefit plan.  Benefits under that plan were frozen as of December 31, 2000.  The company makes contributions to the plan so that minimum contribution requirements, as determined by government regulations, are met. 







































































































Schedule 9.18 


Environmental Matters 


In connection with the purchase of Wyle Electronics (“Wyle”) in August 2000, the company acquired certain of the then outstanding obligations of Wyle, including Wyle’s indemnification obligations to the purchasers of its Wyle Laboratories division for environmental clean-up costs associated with any then existing contamination or violation of environmental regulations. Under the terms of the company’s purchase of Wyle from the sellers, the sellers agreed to indemnify the company for certain costs associated with the Wyle environmental obligations, among other things. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the company entered into a settlement agreement with the sellers pursuant to which the sellers paid $110,000,000 and the company released the sellers from their indemnification obligation. As part of the settlement agreement the company accepted responsibility for any potential subsequent costs incurred related to the Wyle matters. The company is aware of two Wyle Laboratories facilities (in Huntsville, Alabama and Norco, California) at which contaminated groundwater was identified and will require environmental remediation. In addition, the company was named as a defendant in several lawsuits related to the Norco facility and a third site in El Segundo, California which have now been settled to the satisfaction of the parties. 


The company expects these environmental liabilities to be resolved over an extended period of time. Costs are recorded for environmental matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Accruals for environmental liabilities are adjusted periodically as facts and circumstances change, assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Environmental liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to various unknown factors such as the timing and extent of remediation, improvements in remediation technologies, and the extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. Accordingly the company cannot presently fully estimate the ultimate potential costs related to these sites until such time as a substantial portion of the investigation at the sites is completed and remedial action plans are developed and, in some instances implemented. To the extent that future environmental costs exceed amounts currently accrued by the company, net income would be adversely impacted and such impact could be material. 


Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in “Accrued expenses” and “Other liabilities” in the company’s consolidated balance sheets. As successor-in-interest to Wyle, the company is the beneficiary of various Wyle insurance policies that covered liabilities arising out of operations at Norco and Huntsville. To date, the company has recovered approximately $37,000,000 from certain insurance carriers relating to environmental clean-up matters at the Norco site. The company is considering the best way to pursue its potential claims against insurers regarding liabilities arising out of operations at Huntsville. The resolution of these matters will likely take several years. The company has not recorded a receivable for any potential future insurance recoveries related to the Norco and Huntsville environmental matters, as the realization of the claims for recovery are not deemed probable at this time. .  


Environmental Matters - Huntsville 


In February 2015, the company and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (“ADEM”) finalized and executed a consent decree in connection with the Huntsville, Alabama site. Characterization of the extent of contaminated soil and groundwater continues at the site. Under the direction of the ADEM, approximately $5,000 was spent to date. The pace of the ongoing remedial investigations, project management, and regulatory oversight is likely to increase somewhat and, though the complete scope of the activities is not yet known, the company currently estimates additional investigative and related expenditures at the site of approximately $300,000 to $750,000. The nature and scope of both feasibility studies and subsequent remediation at the site has not yet been determined, but assuming the outcome includes source control and certain other measures, the cost is estimated to be between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000.  Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the company is unable to estimate any potential costs in addition to those discussed above because the complete scope of the work is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined. 


Environmental Matters - Norco 
In October 2003, the company entered into a consent decree with Wyle Laboratories and the California Department of Toxic Substance Control (the “DTSC”) in connection with the Norco site. In April 2005, a Remedial Investigation Work Plan was approved by DTSC that provided for site-wide characterization of known and potential environmental issues. Investigations performed in connection with this work plan and a series of subsequent technical memoranda continued until the filing of a final Remedial Investigation Report early in 2008. Work is under way pertaining to the remediation of contaminated groundwater at certain areas on the Norco site and of soil gas in a limited area immediately adjacent to the site. In 2008, a hydraulic containment system was installed to capture and treat groundwater before it moves into the adjacent offsite area. In September 2013, the DTSC approved the final Remedial Action Plan (“RAP”) and work is currently progressing under the RAP. The approval of the RAP includes the potential for additional remediation action after the five year review of the hydraulic containment system if the review finds that contaminants have not been sufficiently reduced in the offsite area. Approximately $53,000,000 was spent to date on remediation, project management, regulatory oversight, and investigative and feasibility study activities. The company currently estimates that these activities will give rise to an additional $22,300,000 to $33,000,000. Project management and regulatory oversight include costs incurred by project consultants for project management and costs billed by DTSC to provide regulatory oversight. Despite the amount of work undertaken and  











planned to date, the company is unable to estimate any potential costs in addition to those discussed above because the complete scope of the work under the RAP is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined.
