NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Amendments to Fourth Amended Credit Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, effective as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement (exclusive of the Schedules and thereto except as provided below) shall be amended so that it reads as set forth in Annex A.  The amendments to the Credit Agreement are limited to the extent

2.    Amendments to Schedules to the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, each of the Schedules to the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement shall be amended so that they read as set forth in Annex B hereto.  
3.Reallocation and Assignment. 
(a)Simultaneously with the Amendment Effective Date, the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Lenders, the Departing Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby agree that the Commitments shall be as set forth in Schedule 2.01 attached to Annex B hereto and the portion of Loans and other Outstanding Amounts outstanding under the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement shall be reallocated in accordance with such Commitments and the requisite assignments shall be deemed to be made in such amounts by and between the Lenders and the Departing Lenders and from each Lender and Departing Lender to each other applicable Lender, with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by applicable assignment agreements required pursuant to Section 10.06 of the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement. In connection therewith, (x) any reallocation among the applicable Lenders and the Departing Lenders resulting from the Reallocation and Assignment, (y) the repayment of any Loans necessary in connection with the Reallocation and Assignment (if any), and (z) any reallocation among the applicable Lenders of outstanding Loans resulting from the Reallocation and Assignment (if any), shall in each case all occur on the Amendment Effective Date in connection with the effectiveness of this Amendment, and the Administrative Agent may make such adjustments between and among the applicable Lenders and Departing Lenders (including adjustments to participations under the Credit Agreement in outstanding Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances and Swing Line Loans) as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the Reallocation and Assignment, so that the outstanding Revolving Commitments and Term Loan amounts are as set forth on the revised Schedule 2.01 attached to Annex B hereto as of the Amendment Effective Date and the outstanding Loans on the Amendment Effective Date are held by the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (the increase and/or decrease of the facilities provided in the Credit Agreement, and the assignments, adjustments and reallocations set forth in this sentence, collectively, the “Reallocation and Assignment”). In connection therewith, and any prepayment, repayment or reallocation of Loans on the Amendment Effective Date as provided herein, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay breakage or any other additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.06 of the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement or Section 10.06 of the Credit Agreement, no other documents or instruments, including any assignment agreements, shall be executed in connection with the Reallocation and Assignment (all of which requirements are hereby waived), and the assignments contemplated by the Reallocation and Assignment shall be deemed to be made with all applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced by an assignment agreement. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Loan Party further agree that each Loan (as defined in the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement) bearing interest based on clause (a) of the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” (as defined in the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement) shall be automatically converted to Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) bearing interest based on clause (a) of the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) without further notice to the Administrative Agent.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement, each Lender agrees that (i) the Reallocation and Assignment provided by this Amendment shall each be effective upon the Amendment Effective Date immediately prior to the effectiveness of the amendments set forth in Annex A and (ii) the conditions to effectiveness of the Reallocation and Assignment and the amendments set forth in Annex A above are limited to the conditions to the effectiveness of this Amendment on the Amendment Effective Date as set forth in Section 5 hereof.

1.05Rounding.  Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).
1.06Times of Day.  Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).
1.07Letter of Credit Amounts.  Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
1.08Adjustments for Acquisitions and Dispositions.  For purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.11, WFS shall give Pro Forma Effect to each Material Disposition and to each Permitted Acquisition (in each case, to the extent and in the manner provided in the definition of “Pro Forma Effect”) that is consummated during the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of WFS for which compliance is being tested.  
1.09Interest Rates.  The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to any reference rate referred to herein or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection  of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing), in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

1.10Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.  
(a)The Administrative Agent or the L/C-BA Issuers, as applicable, shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternative Currencies.  Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of each Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount.
(b)Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing, Eurocurrency Rate Loan, Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 or greater of a unit being rounded upward).
1.11Additional Alternative or Specified Currencies. 
(a)The Borrowing Agent may from time to time request that Eurocurrency Rate Loans be made, Letters of Credit be issued and/or Bankers’ Acceptances be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definitions of “Alternative Currency” or “Specified Currency”; provided that such requested currency is an Eligible Currency.  In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such request may be made by the Borrowing Agent to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders under the Facilities specified by the Borrowing Agent in such request) and shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and each of the Appropriate Lenders; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit and/or Bankers’ Acceptances, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C-BA Issuer.
(b)Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, the L/C-BA Issuers, in its or their sole discretion).  In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the L/C-BA Issuers thereof.  Each Appropriate Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate Loans) or the L/C-BA Issuers (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, as the case may be, in such requested currency.
(c)Any failure by an Appropriate Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Appropriate Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made or Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances to be issued in such requested currency.  If the Administrative Agent and all the Appropriate Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrowing Agent and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency or Specified Currency, as applicable, hereunder for purposes of any Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and the L/C-BA Issuers consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrowing Agent and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency or Specified Currency, as applicable, hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptance issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent from each of the 
43








Appropriate Lenders to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.11, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrowing Agent.
1.12Change of Currency.  
(a)Each obligation of the Borrowing Agent to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption.  If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.
(b)Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.
(c)Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.
1.13Limited Condition Transactions.  In the event that the Borrowing Agent notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that any proposed Acquisition or Investment is a Limited Condition Transaction and that the Borrowing Agent wishes to test the conditions to such Limited Condition Transaction and the availability of the Incremental Term Loans that are to be used to finance such Limited Condition Transaction in accordance with this Section 1.13, then, so long as agreed to by the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, the following provisions shall apply:
(a)any condition to such Limited Condition Transaction that requires that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Limited Condition Transaction, shall be satisfied if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the execution of the definitive agreements governing such Limited Condition Transaction and (ii) no Event of Default under any of Sections 8.01(a), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) shall have occurred and be continuing both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction;
(b)any condition to such Limited Condition Transaction that the representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) at the time of such Limited Condition Transaction shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or other customary applicable “certain funds” conditionality provisions (including, without limitation, a condition that the representations and warranties under the relevant agreements relating to such Limited Condition Transaction as are material to the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans shall be true and correct, but only to the extent that the Borrowing Agent or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such agreement as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or the failure of those representations and warranties to be true and correct), so long as all representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) at the time of execution of the definitive agreement(s) governing such Limited Condition Transaction (except to the extent that any representation and warranty specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and 
44








correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date);
(c)any financial ratio test or condition may, upon the written election of the Borrowing Agent delivered to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreement(s) for such Limited Condition Transaction, be tested either (i) upon the execution of the definitive agreement(s) with respect to such Limited Condition Transaction or (ii) upon the consummation of the Limited Condition Transaction and related incurrence of Indebtedness, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant Limited Condition Transaction and related incurrence of Indebtedness, on a pro forma basis; provided that the failure to deliver a notice under this Section 1.13(c) on or prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreement(s) for such Limited Condition Transaction shall be deemed an election to test the applicable financial ratio under subclause (ii) of this Section 1.13(c); and
(d)if the Borrowing Agent has made an election with respect to any Limited Condition Transaction to test a financial ratio test or condition at the time specified in clause (c)(i) of this Section, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the relevant date of execution of the definitive agreements with respect to such Limited Condition Transaction and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated and (ii) the date that the definitive agreement(s) for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be required to be satisfied assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness) have not been consummated.
The foregoing provisions shall apply with similar effect during the pendency of multiple Limited Condition Transactions such that each of the possible scenarios is separately tested.

Multi-Currency Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.
(iii)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Specified Currency Revolving Lender severally agrees to make loans in Dollars or in one or more Specified Currencies (each such loan, a “Specified Currency Revolving Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Specified Currency Revolving Lender’s Specified Currency Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Specified Currency Revolving Borrowing, (i) the Total Specified Currency Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Specified Currency Revolving Commitments; and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Specified Currency Revolving Loans of any Specified Currency Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Specified Currency Revolving Lender’s Specified Currency Revolving Commitment.

Specified Currency Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.
(iv)The Borrowers agree to use reasonable efforts to borrow under the various revolving Facilities hereunder in a manner that takes into consideration the relative outstandings under each such Facility, to the extent reasonably practicable.  
(v)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no USD Revolving Loans, Multi-Currency Revolving Loans or Specified Currency Revolving Loans shall be made to WFS Singapore unless each Lender in the relevant Facility has confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent that it has a Lending Office located in Singapore or is licensed to lend directly to WFS Singapore. 
2.02Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 
(a)Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrowing Agent’s (in the case of Revolving Loans and Term Loans) irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (i) telephone or (ii) a Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice.  Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Loans, (ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if the Borrowing Agent wishes to request Eurocurrency Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 
46








a.m. (i) four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or (ii) five Business Days (or six Business days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, whereupon (x) the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Appropriate Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them and (y) not later than 11:00 a.m., (i) three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, or (ii) four Business Days (or five Business days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowing Agent (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Appropriate Lenders.  Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Except as provided in Sections 2.03(d) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Committed Loan Notice for Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall specify (i) the applicable Facility and whether the Borrowing Agent is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, as the case may be, under such Facility, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v)  the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If the Borrowing Agent fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrowing Agent fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  If the Borrowing Agent requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (other than Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans) in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan.   Except as provided in Section 2.12(a), no Loans may be converted into or continued as Loans denominated in a different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
(b)Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice for a Facility, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable Percentage under such Facility of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrowing Agent, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Appropriate Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in each case, as described in the preceding subsection.  In the case of a Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrowing Agent in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrowing Agent on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrowing Agent; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to a USD Revolving Borrowing is given by the Borrowing Agent, there are L/C-BA Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such USD Revolving Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C-BA Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above.
47








(c)Except as otherwise provided herein (and except in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan), a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan.  During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether in Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required Facility Lenders, and during the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Facility Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, immediately, in the case of Alterative Currency Daily Rate Loans, and otherwise, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, provided that if such redenomination into Dollars is then prohibited by applicable Law, then the Required Facility Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid.
(d)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowing Agent and the Appropriate Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowing Agent and the Appropriate Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(e)(i) After giving effect to all Term Loan Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Term Loan Facility, and (ii) after giving effect to all Revolving Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Facilities.
(a) With respect to any Loan denominated in Sterling (for which the applicable interest rate is based on SONIA, which is a daily rate), the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrowers and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
2.03Letters of Credit.
(a)The Letter of Credit–BA Commitment.
(i)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C-BA Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the USD Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, to issue Letters of Credit and Clean BAs denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies for the account of any Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit and to make payments under Bankers’ Acceptances; and (3) with respect to Acceptance Credits, to create L/C Issued BAs in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, and (B) the USD Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances issued for the account of the applicable Borrower or applicable Restricted Subsidiary and any drawings or payments thereunder; provided that (A) after giving effect to any L/C-BA Credit Extension, (w) the Total USD Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments, (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the USD Revolving Loans of any USD Revolving Lender, plus such USD Revolving Lender’s Applicable USD Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations, plus such USD Revolving Lender’s Applicable USD Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such USD Revolving Lender’s Commitment, (y) the Outstanding 
48








Amount of the L/C-BA Obligations shall not exceed the L/C-BA Sublimit and (z) the Outstanding Amount of (1) the L/C-BA Obligations shall not exceed the L/C-BA Sublimit and (2) the L/C-BA Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances of any L/C-BA Issuer shall not exceed the L/C-BA Commitment of such L/C-BA Issuer and (B) as to Clean BAs and Acceptance Credits, the Bankers’ Acceptance created or to be created thereunder shall be an eligible bankers’ acceptance under Section 13 of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S. C. §372).  Each request by the Borrowing Agent for the issuance (or amendment, as applicable) of a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, each of which shall identify the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary for whose account such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance is to be issued, shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowing Agent (on behalf of itself and the applicable Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary) that the L/C-BA Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed and Bankers’ Acceptances that have matured and been reimbursed.  All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.
(ii)No L/C-BA Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, if:
(A)subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension unless the Required USD Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date;
(B)the maturity date of any Bankers’ Acceptance would occur earlier than 30 or later than 90 days from date of issuance, unless the Required USD Revolving Lenders have approved such maturity date; 
(C)the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit, or the maturity date of any Bankers’ Acceptance (including any L/C Issued BA issued under a Letter of Credit), would occur after the Maturity Date, unless all the USD Revolving Lenders and the applicable L/C-BA Issuer have approved such expiry date or maturity date, as applicable; or
(D)except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C-BA Issuer, such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency.
(iii)No L/C-BA Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance if: 
(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C-BA Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, or any Law applicable to such L/C-BA Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C-BA Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C-BA Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit or related bankers’ acceptances generally or such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance in particular or shall impose upon such L/C-BA Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C-BA Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C-BA Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and, in each case, which such L/C-BA Issuer in good faith deems material to it;
49








(B)the issuance of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance would violate one or more policies of such L/C-BA Issuer, or the creation of such Bankers’ Acceptance would cause such L/C-BA Issuer to exceed the maximum amount of outstanding bankers’ acceptances permitted by applicable law;
(C)except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C-BA Issuer, such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance is in an initial stated amount less than $5,000;
(D)any USD Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C-BA Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C-BA Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such L/C-BA Issuer’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C-BA Obligations as to which such L/C-BA Issuer has Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion;
(E)such Bankers’ Acceptance is to be used for a purpose other than as described in the last sentence of Section 2.03(c)(i); 
(F)the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or
(G)such L/C-BA Issuer does not as of the issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance issue Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, as applicable, in the requested currency;  
(iv)No L/C-BA Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance if such L/C-BA Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance in its amended form under the terms hereof.
(v)No L/C-BA Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance if (A) such L/C-BA Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance.
(vi)Each L/C-BA Issuer shall act on behalf of the USD Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C-BA Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C-BA Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included such L/C-BA Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C-BA Issuer.
(b)Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.  
(i)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrowing Agent delivered to the applicable L/C-BA Issuer which, in the case of a Letter of Credit to be issued, shall be any L/C-BA Issuer as selected by the Borrowing Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C-BA Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least one Business Day (or such later date and 
50








time as the Administrative Agent and such L/C-BA Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C-BA Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the applicable Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary on whose account the Letter of Credit is being issued (which, in the absence of any such designation, shall be the Borrowing Agent); (C) the amount thereof; (D) the expiry date thereof; (E) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (F) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (H) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (I) such other matters as such L/C-BA Issuer may reasonably require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C-BA Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such L/C-BA Issuer may reasonably require.  Additionally, the Borrowing Agent shall, and shall cause any other applicable Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary to, furnish to the applicable L/C-BA Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C-BA Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
(ii)Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C-BA Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrowing Agent and, if not, the applicable L/C-BA Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless the applicable L/C-BA Issuer has received written notice from any USD Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrowing Agent, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C-BA Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C-BA Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each USD Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C-BA Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such USD Revolving Lender’s Applicable USD Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii)If the Borrowing Agent so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, any L/C-BA Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a standby Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C-BA Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C-BA Issuer, neither the Borrowing Agent nor the applicable Borrower (or applicable Restricted Subsidiary) shall be required to make a specific request to such  L/C-BA Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the USD Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C-BA Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Maturity Date; provided, however, that such L/C-BA Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C-BA Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in 
51








writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required USD Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any USD Revolving Lender, the Borrowing Agent or the Borrowers (or applicable Restricted Subsidiary) for whose account the Letter of Credit was issued that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C-BA Issuer not to permit such extension.
(iv)Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C-BA Issuer will also deliver to the Borrowing Agent (for further delivery to the applicable Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary) and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c)Procedure for Issuance of Clean Bankers’ Acceptances.  
(i)Each Clean Bankers’ Acceptance shall be issued upon the request of the Borrowing Agent delivered to the applicable L/C-BA Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Bankers’ Acceptance Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent.  Bankers’ Acceptances Requests may be delivered and accepted electronically.  Such Bankers’ Acceptance Request must be received by the applicable L/C-BA Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (or such later date and time as such L/C-BA Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) of the proposed issuance date.  Each Bankers’ Acceptance Request shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C-BA Issuer:  (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Clean Bankers’ Acceptance (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the shipping information; (E) a description of the fuel; and (F) such other matters as such L/C-BA Issuer may reasonably require.  Each Clean Bankers’ Acceptance shall be in a minimum increment $50,000, shall be endorsed in blank, shall cover the purchase or sale of fuel, the payment of freight or the financing of insurance, port charges and advances on purchases, shall mature on a Business Day up to ninety (90) days after the date thereof, and shall not be payable prior to its stated maturity date.
(ii)Promptly after receipt of any Bankers’ Acceptance Request, the applicable L/C-BA Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Bankers’ Acceptance Request from the Borrowing Agent and, if not, such L/C-BA Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Upon receipt by the applicable L/C-BA Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C-BA Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Clean Bankers’ Acceptance for the account of the applicable Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary, in each case in accordance with such L/C-BA Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Clean Bankers’ Acceptance, each USD Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C-BA Issuer a risk participation in such Clean Bankers’ Acceptance in an amount equal to the product of such USD Revolving Lender’s Applicable USD Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Clean Bankers’ Acceptance.
(iii)In the event that the applicable L/C-BA Issuer presents a draft on a matured Clean Bankers’ Acceptance for payment and the applicable Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary, at the time of such presentment, does not have funds on deposit in its account at the Administrative Agent sufficient to pay the entire amount of the draft (including any charges or expenses paid or incurred by such L/C-BA Issuer in connection with such draft), the Administrative Agent shall deem this to be an Unreimbursed Amount and proceed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03(d)(iii) which relate to a Bankers’ Acceptance not paid on maturity.
52








(d)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i)Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing or any decision by the applicable L/C-BA Issuer not to renew such Letter of Credit or, with respect to any Acceptance Credit, presentation of documents under such Letter of Credit, or any presentation for payment of a Bankers’ Acceptance, the applicable L/C-BA Issuer shall notify the Borrowing Agent (for itself and the applicable Borrower) and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C-BA Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) such L/C-BA Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the applicable Borrower shall have notified such L/C-BA Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the applicable Borrower will reimburse such L/C-BA Issuer in Dollars.  In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance denominated in an Alternative Currency, such L/C-BA Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 12:00 noon on the date of any payment by an L/C-BA Issuer under a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by any L/C-BA Issuer under a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C-BA Issuer in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing or Bankers’ Acceptance, as applicable, and in the applicable currency; provided, however, that the Foreign Designated Borrowers shall have no reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances issued solely for the account of WFS or any Domestic Subsidiary. In the event that (A) a drawing denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the second sentence in this Section 2.03(d)(i) and (B) the Dollar amount paid by the applicable Borrower, whether on or after the Honor Date, shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the Alternative Currency equal to the drawing, the applicable Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify the applicable L/C-BA Issuer for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the Alternative Currency in the full amount of the drawing; provided, however, that the Foreign Designated Borrowers shall have no reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances issued solely for the account of WFS or any Domestic Subsidiary.  If the applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C-BA Issuer by such time, such L/C-BA Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify each USD Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such USD Revolving Lender’s Applicable USD Revolving Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have requested on behalf of such applicable Borrower a USD Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice).  Any notice given by the applicable L/C-BA Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(d)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii)Each USD Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C-BA Issuer, in Dollars at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar denominated payments in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of its Applicable USD Revolving Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by 
53








the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(d)(iii), each USD Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C-BA Issuer.
(iii)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a USD Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C-BA Issuer an L/C-BA Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C-BA Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each USD Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C-BA Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C-BA Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C-BA Advance from such USD Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv)Until each USD Revolving Lender funds its USD Revolving Loan or L/C-BA Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) to reimburse the applicable L/C-BA Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit or payments made on any Bankers’ Acceptance, interest in respect of such USD Revolving Lender’s Applicable USD Revolving Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C-BA Issuer.
(v)Each USD Revolving Lender’s obligation to make USD Revolving Loans or L/C-BA Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C-BA Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit and payments made on Bankers’ Acceptances, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(d), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such USD Revolving Lender may have against such L/C-BA Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each USD Revolving Lender’s obligation to make USD Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrowing Agent of a Committed Loan Notice).  Subject to Section 2.17(b), no such making of an L/C-BA Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the joint and several obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C-BA Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C-BA Issuer under any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi)If any USD Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C-BA Issuer any amount required to be paid by such USD Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(d) by the time specified in Section 2.03(d)(ii), such L/C-BA Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such USD Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C-BA Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C-BA Issuer in connection with the foregoing.  If such USD Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such USD Revolving Lender’s USD Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C-BA Advance in respect of the relevant L/C-BA Borrowing, as the case may be.  A certificate of the applicable L/C-BA Issuer submitted to any USD Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
54








(e)Repayment of Participations.  
(i)At any time after the applicable L/C-BA Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance and has received from any USD Revolving Lender such USD Revolving Lender’s L/C-BA Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(d), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C-BA Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowing Agent, the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such USD Revolving Lender its Applicable USD Revolving Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C-BA Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C-BA Issuer in its discretion), each USD Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C-BA Issuer its Applicable USD Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such USD Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the USD Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(f)Obligations Absolute.  Subject to Section 2.17(b), the joint and several obligation of the applicable Borrower (and, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other Borrower) to reimburse the applicable L/C-BA Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and each payment under any Bankers’ Acceptance, and to repay each L/C-BA Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
(ii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such L/C-BA Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or payment on such Bankers’ Acceptance or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance;
(iv)waiver by such L/C-BA Issuer of any requirement that exists for such L/C-BA Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrowers or any waiver by such L/C-BA Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrowers;
(v)honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance requires that demand be in the form of a draft;
(vi)any payment made by such L/C-BA Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;
55








(vii)any payment by such L/C-BA Issuer under such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance; or any payment made by such L/C-BA Issuer under such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; 
(viii)any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or 
(ix)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary.
Each of the Borrowing Agent and the applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto, and each Bankers’ Acceptance, that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowing Agent’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowing Agent or the applicable Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C-BA Issuer.  Each of the applicable Borrower and the Borrowing Agent shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against any L/C-BA Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(g)Role of L/C-BA Issuers.  Each USD Revolving Lender and each of the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit or making any payment under a Bankers’ Acceptance, the applicable L/C-BA Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C-BA Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C-BA Issuer shall be liable to any USD Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the USD Revolving Lenders or the Required USD Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptance or Issuer Document.  Subject to Section 2.17(b), the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as any of them may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C-BA Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C-BA Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.03(f); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers or Restricted Subsidiaries for whose benefit such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance was issued may have a claim against an L/C-BA Issuer, and an L/C-BA Issuer may be liable to such Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary which such Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary proves were caused by such L/C-BA Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C-BA Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit or to honor any Bankers’ Acceptance presented for payment in strict compliance with its terms and conditions.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C-BA Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C-BA Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.  Each L/C-BA Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the 
56








beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.
(h)Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C-BA Issuer and the Borrowing Agent when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable L/C-BA Issuer shall not be responsible to any Borrower for, and the applicable L/C-BA Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrowers shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the applicable L/C-BA Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptance or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the applicable L/C-BA Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance chooses such law or practice.
(i)Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each USD Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable USD Revolving Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) (i) for each commercial Letter of Credit equal to 0.250% per annum times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, and (ii) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable L/C-BA Issuer pursuant to Section 2.15 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other USD Revolving Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable USD Revolving Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable L/C-BA Issuer for its own account.  For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07.  Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required USD Revolving Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Foreign Designated Borrowers shall have no obligation to pay any Letter of Credit Fee in connection with Letters of Credit issued solely for the account of WFS or any Domestic Subsidiary.
(j)BA Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each USD Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable USD Revolving Percentage a Bankers’ Acceptance fee (the “BA Fee”) equal to the Bankers’ Acceptance Rate plus the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of all then outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances.  BA Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Bankers’ Acceptance, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  If there is any change in the Bankers’ Acceptance Rate or the Applicable Rate for Bankers’ Acceptances during any quarter, the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of all outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances shall be computed and multiplied by the Bankers’ Acceptance Rate or Applicable Rate, as applicable, separately for each period during such quarter that such Bankers’ Acceptance Rate or Applicable Rate, as applicable, was in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required USD Revolving Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all BA Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Foreign Designated Borrowers shall 
57








have no obligation to pay any BA Fee in connection with Bankers’ Acceptances issued solely for the account of WFS or any Domestic Subsidiary.
(k)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C-BA Issuers.  The Borrowers shall pay directly to the applicable L/C-BA Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance issued by Bank of America, at the rate specified therefor in the BofA Fee Letter, and, with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance issued by any other L/C-BA Issuer, at a rate determined by the Borrowers and such L/C-BA Issuer, in each case computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, as applicable, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the Borrowing Agent and the applicable L/C-BA Issuer, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit issued by Bank of America, at the rate per annum specified in the BofA Fee Letter and, with respect to each standby Letter of Credit issued by any other L/C-BA Issuer, at a rate determined by the Borrowers and such L/C-BA Issuer, in each case, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee payable under clause (iii) of this Section 2.03(k) shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, as applicable, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand.  For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07.  In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to the applicable L/C-BA Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C-BA Issuer relating to letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Foreign Designated Borrowers shall have no obligation to pay any fronting fee or customary processing fee (including standard costs and charges) in connection with Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances issued solely for the account of WFS or any Domestic Subsidiary.
(l)Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(m)Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, WFS shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C-BA Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, and the Foreign Designated Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C-BA Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings or payments under each Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance issued for their own account or for the account of any other Foreign Subsidiary.  Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit and/or Bankers’ Acceptances for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrowers, and that the Borrowers’ business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries.
(n)Letter of Credit Reports to the Administrative Agent. For so long as any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance issued by an L/C-BA Issuer (other than Bank of America) is outstanding, such L/C-BA Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of each calendar month, and on each date that an L/C-BA Credit Extension occurs with respect to any such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, a report (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance issued by such L/C-BA Issuer (which information shall include whether such Letter of Credit is an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit, the letter of credit number, maximum face amount, current face amount, the beneficiary name, issuance date, and expiry date of each such Letter of Credit and/or Bankers’ Acceptance, and, if applicable, the date of amendment of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance and the amount of such amendment).

2.04Swing Line Loans. 
(a)The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other USD Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable USD Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of USD Revolving Loans and L/C-BA Obligations of the Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such USD Revolving Lender’s USD Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total USD Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the USD Revolving Loans of any USD Revolving Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), plus such USD Revolving Lender’s Applicable USD Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations, plus such USD Revolving Lender’s Applicable USD Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such USD Revolving Lender’s USD Revolving Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04.  Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each USD Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such USD Revolving Lender’s Applicable USD Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b)Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrowing Agent’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (i) telephone or (ii) a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice.  Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (A) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000, and (B) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day.  Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any USD Revolving Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowing Agent at its office either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrowing Agent on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrowing Agent.
(c)Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i)The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowing Agent (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each USD Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such USD Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the 
59








Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrowing Agent with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each USD Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable USD Revolving Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each USD Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
(ii)If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a USD Revolving Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the USD Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each USD Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii)If any USD Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such USD Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such USD Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such USD Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such USD Revolving Lender’s USD Revolving Loan included in the relevant USD Revolving Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any USD Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)Each USD Revolving Lender’s obligation to make USD Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such USD Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each USD Revolving Lender’s obligation to make USD Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d)Repayment of Participations.  
(i)At any time after any USD Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such USD Revolving Lender its Applicable USD Revolving Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
60








(ii)If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each USD Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable USD Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of the USD Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e)Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swing Line Loans.  Until each USD Revolving Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such USD Revolving Lender’s Applicable USD Revolving Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable USD Revolving Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f)Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender.  The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
2.05Prepayments. 
(a)The Borrowers may, upon notice (which notice may be by telephone and immediately confirmed in writing) from the Borrowing Agent to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (B) four Business Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and (C) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (iii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (iv) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (v) subject to Section 2.05(e), unless the Borrowing Agent specifies in writing that a prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied to the Outstanding Amount of USD Revolving Loans, Multi-Currency Revolving Loans and/or Specified Currency Revolving Loans, any prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied to the USD Revolving Loans, the Multi-Currency Revolving Loans and the Specified Currency Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis, based upon the Outstanding Amounts thereof.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether the Loans to be repaid are Term Loans or Revolving Loans and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s), if applicable, of such Loans, and shall be in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based upon such Lenders’ Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility).  If such notice is given by the Borrowing Agent, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided, however, in the case of a prepayment in anticipation of a refinancing of all or a portion of a Facility, any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowing Agent (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.  Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof in inverse order of maturity.  Subject to Section 2.16, each such prepayment shall be 
61








applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the relevant Facilities.
(b)The Borrowers may, upon notice from the Borrowing Agent to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and shall be in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent.  If such notice is given by the Borrowing Agent, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(c)[Reserved.]
(d)Mandatory Prepayments.  Subject to Section 2.05(e):
(i)Dispositions of Assets.  If any Loan Party or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries Dispose of any properties or assets (other than any Disposition of any properties or assets permitted by Section 7.05) in a single or series of related transactions which results in the realization by such Person of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the Threshold Amount that has not been previously applied to mandatory prepayment, an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of the amount of all such Net Cash Proceeds shall be prepaid promptly (but in any case within fifteen (15) Business Days) after receipt thereof by such Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary and the expiration of the reinvestment period applicable thereto as specified in the proviso to the following sentence.  The Borrowing Agent shall provide Administrative Agent upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of each such prepayment, which notice shall include a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations utilized in computing the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition or Dispositions; provided that the amount of Net Cash Proceeds otherwise resulting from any Disposition shall be computed net of cash amounts utilized by WFS or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries within two hundred seventy (270) days of such Disposition to purchase replacement or other assets useful to the operation of the business of WFS or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the 90th day after expiry of such 270-day period if WFS or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has entered into a legally binding commitment to utilize such proceeds in accordance with the foregoing).
(ii)Indebtedness.  Within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of proceeds from each private or public issuance or incurrence of any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted by Section 7.03), an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom shall be prepaid.  The Borrowing Agent shall provide Administrative Agent upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of each such prepayment, which notice shall include a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations utilized in computing the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance or incurrence.
(iii)Extraordinary Receipts.  Within fifteen (15) Business Days of any Extraordinary Receipt in excess of the Threshold Amount received by or paid to or for the account of any Loan Party or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries and the expiration of any reinvestment period applicable thereto as specified in the proviso to the following sentence, an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom shall be prepaid.  The Borrowing Agent shall provide Administrative Agent upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of each such prepayment, which notice shall include a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations utilized in computing the Net Cash Proceeds of such Extraordinary Receipt; provided that the amount of Net Cash Proceeds otherwise resulting from 
62








any Extraordinary Receipts shall be computed net of cash amounts utilized by WFS or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries within two hundred seventy (270) days of receipt of such Extraordinary Receipts to acquire replacement assets for, restore or make repairs to, the affected assets giving rise to such Extraordinary Receipts (or the 90th day after expiry of such 270-day period if WFS or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has entered into a legally binding commitment to utilize such proceeds in accordance with the foregoing).
(iv)Overadvances.  If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowing Agent that the Total USD Revolving Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay USD Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C-BA Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C-BA Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(d) unless after the prepayment in full of the USD Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans the Total USD Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments then in effect. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowing Agent that the Total Multi-Currency Revolving Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Multi-Currency Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowing Agent that the Total Specified Currency Revolving Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Specified Currency Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Specified Currency Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 
Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.05(d) shall be applied first to the repayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan (to be applied to the principal repayment installments of thereof in inverse order of maturity), and second to the repayment of the principal amount of USD Revolving Loans, Multi-Currency Revolving Loans and Specified Currency Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis based on the Outstanding Amounts thereof (without any reduction of the USD Revolving Commitments, Multi-Currency Revolving Commitments or Specified Currency Revolving Commitments). Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.05 to the prepayment of USD Revolving Loans, Multi-Currency Revolving Loans and Specified Currency Revolving Loans or the Term Loans shall be applied, as applicable, first to reduce outstanding Base Rate Loans.  Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.05 shall be in excess of the amount of the outstanding Base Rate Loans, only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of Borrower, the balance of such required prepayment shall be either (A) deposited in a collateral account and applied to the prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period, therefor (with all interest accruing thereon for the account of Borrower) or (B) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 3.05.  Notwithstanding any such deposit in a collateral account, interest shall continue to accrue on such Eurocurrency Rate Loans until prepayment.
(e)No Effect on Obligations of Foreign Designated Borrowers.  In accordance with Section 2.17, the obligations of each of the Foreign Designated Borrowers with respect to prepayment of Loans shall not exceed their respective share of the obligations in respect of the Loans to which such prepayment is to be applied.
2.06Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 
(a)Optional.  The Borrowing Agent may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments, the Aggregate Multi-Currency Revolving Commitments and/or the Aggregate Specified Currency Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments, the Aggregate Multi-Currency Revolving Commitments and/or the Aggregate Specified Currency Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate 
63








amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrowing Agent shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total USD Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments, (iv) the Borrowing Agent shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Multi-Currency Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Multi-Currency Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Multi-Currency Revolving Commitments, (v) the Borrowing Agent shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Specified Currency Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Specified Currency Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Specified Currency Revolving Commitments, and (vi) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments, the L/C-BA Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments, the applicable sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.  
(b)Mandatory.  (i) As of the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date and after giving effect to the transactions to occur on the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date, the aggregate Term Loan Commitments are zero.
(c)Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Commitment Fees.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the L/C-BA Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit, the USD Revolving Commitment, the Multi-Currency Revolving Commitment or the Specified Currency Revolving Commitment under this Section 2.06.  Upon any reduction of the USD Revolving Commitments, the Multi-Currency Revolving Commitments and/or the Specified Currency Revolving Commitments, the USD Revolving Commitments, the Multi-Currency Revolving Commitments and/or, the Specified Currency Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of each USD Revolving Lender, Multi-Currency Revolving Lender and/or Specified Currency Revolving Lender, as applicable, shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of such reduction amount.  All commitment fees in respect of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility accrued until the effective date of any termination of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
2.07Repayment of Loans. 
(a)Term Loans.  WFS shall repay to the Term Loan Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on the following dates in the respective amounts set forth opposite such dates, which amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.05(d), if applicable, and with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05:

2.09Fees.  In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i), (j) and (k) of Section 2.03:
(a)Commitment Fee.  
(i)The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each USD Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable USD Revolving Percentage, a commitment fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of USD Revolving Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C-BA Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16.  
(ii)The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Multi-Currency Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Multi-Currency Revolving Percentage, a commitment fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Multi-Currency Revolving Commitments exceed the Outstanding Amount of Multi-Currency Revolving Loans, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16.
(iii)The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Specified Currency Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Specified Currency Revolving Percentage, a commitment fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Specified Currency Revolving Commitments exceed the Outstanding Amount of Specified Currency Revolving Loans, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16.
66








(iv)The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period.  The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(b)Other Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to each Joint Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the respective Fee Letters.
2.10Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.
(a)All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) and for loans denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed, or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or Specified Currency as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.    
(b)If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of WFS or any Restricted Subsidiary or for any other reason, the Borrowers or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrowers as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrowers under any Debtor Relief Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(d)(iii), 2.03(i), (j) or (k) or 2.08(b) or under Article VIII.  The Borrowers’ obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
2.11Evidence of Debt.  
(a)The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such 
67








Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Note or a Term Loan Note, as the case may be, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b)In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances and Swing Line Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
2.12Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.  
(a)General.  All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or Specified Currency, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or Specified Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency or Specified Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States.  If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency or Specified Currency, as applicable, the applicable Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency or Specified Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after (i) 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency or Specified Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b)    Funding by Revolving Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Revolving Lender prior to the proposed date of any Revolving Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Revolving Borrowing) that such Revolving Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Revolving Lender’s share of such Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Revolving Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Revolving Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Revolving Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Revolving Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Revolving Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by 
68








the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrowers and such Revolving Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period.  If such Revolving Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Revolving Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrowers shall not relieve any Revolving Lender of its funding obligations and shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Revolving Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(ii)Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowing Agent prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any L/C-BA Issuer hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C-BA Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due.  With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or any L/C-BA Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrowers (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C-BA Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing to the Administrative Agent under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(c)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(d)Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances and Swing Line Loans, as applicable, and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).
(e)Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
2.13Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C-BA Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then 
69








the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C-BA Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(i)if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest;
(ii)the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.15, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C-BA Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply); and
(iii)the provisions of this Section shall be subject to the sharing provisions contained in the Intercreditor Agreement.
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
2.14Increase in Commitments.  
(a)Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Invited Lenders, as defined below), the Borrowing Agent may from time to time, request (x) one or more increases in the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments, the Aggregate Multi-Currency Revolving Commitments or the Aggregate Specified Currency Revolving Commitment or an additional, separate revolving credit facility for the purpose of providing a new Eligible Currency or lending to a new Designated Borrower (a “Designated Revolver”) (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”), (y) one or more increases in the Term Loan Commitment (each, a “Term Loan Increase”) and/or (z) one or more term loan tranches to be made available to the Borrowers (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”; each Incremental Revolving Commitment, each Term Loan Increase and each Incremental Term Loan, collectively, referred to as the “Incremental Increases”), by an aggregate amount (for all such requests) not exceeding the Incremental Facilities Limit; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or, in the case of a Designated Revolver, $10,000,000).  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrowing Agent (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall identify the Invited Lenders and specify the time period within which the Invited Lenders are requested to respond. 
(b)Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Lender requested to increase its USD Revolving Commitment, increase its Multi-Currency Revolving Commitment, increase its Specified Currency Revolving Commitment, provide a commitment to a Designated Revolver, increase its Term Loan Commitment or participate in any Incremental Term Loan, as applicable (each such Lender, an “Invited Lender”), shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its USD Revolving Commitment, increase its increase its Multi-Currency Revolving Commitment, increase its Specified Currency Revolving Commitment, provide a commitment to a Designated Revolver, increase its Term Loan Commitment or participate in any Incremental Term Loan, as applicable, and if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such Incremental Increase, as applicable.  Any Invited Lender not responding within such 
70








time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its USD Revolving Commitment, increase its Multi-Currency Revolving Commitment, increase its Specified Currency Revolving Commitment, provide a commitment to a Designated Revolver, increase its Term Loan Commitment or participate in any Incremental Term Loan, as applicable.
(c)Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowing Agent of each Invited Lender’s response to any request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of an Incremental Increase and subject to (i) the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (ii) in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitment increasing the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments, the approval of the L/C-BA Issuers and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrowing Agent may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(d)Effective Date and Allocations.  The Administrative Agent and the Borrowing Agent shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of any such Incremental Increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowing Agent and each Incremental Lender (defined below) of the final allocation of such Incremental Increase and the Increase Effective Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, no increase in the Aggregate USD Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall increase the Swing Line Sublimit or the LC-BA Sublimit. Each Incremental Increase shall be made pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement giving effect to the modifications permitted by this Section 2.14 and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Loan Parties, each Lender providing all or any portion of the Incremental Increase (each such Lender, an “Incremental Lender”) under the Incremental Facility Amendment (to the extent applicable) and the Administrative Agent; provided, that with the consent of each Incremental Lender with respect to the Incremental Increase under the Incremental Facility Amendment, the Administrative Agent may execute such Incremental Facility Amendment on behalf of the applicable Incremental Lenders. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.01, the Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to implement any Incremental Increase in accordance with this Section 2.14.
(e)Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  Any Incremental Increase shall become effective as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that each of the following conditions has been satisfied or waived by the Incremental Lenders as of such Incremental Effective Date, which in the case of an Incremental Term Loan to be used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, shall be subject to Section 1.13: 
(i)the Borrowing Agent shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase (which, with respect to any such Loan Party, may, if applicable, be the resolutions entered into by such Loan Party in connection with the incurrence of the Obligations on the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date), and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V, in the case of the Borrowers, and the other Loan Documents, in the case of each Loan Party party thereto, are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date (except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects), and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished 
71








pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists;  
(ii)the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Incremental Increase shall have received at least five (5) days before the Increase Effective Date, (i) all documentation and other information about the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries that shall have been reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders providing such Incremental Increase in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Increase Effective Date and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reasonably determine is required by applicable regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the Act and (ii) if any Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Borrower for each Lender requesting such at least ten (10) days prior to the Increase Effective Date; 
(iii)each Incremental Increase shall constitute Obligations of the applicable Borrowers and, subject to Section 2.17(b), shall be secured and guaranteed with the other Credit Extensions on a pari passu basis;
(iv)(1) in the case of each Incremental Term Loan and Term Loan Increase (the terms of which shall be set forth in the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment):
(A)the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase and the maturity and amortization of such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase shall be as agreed by the Borrowing Agent and the Incremental Lenders making such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase, but will not in any event have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loan Facility or a maturity date earlier than the maturity date for the Term Loan Facility then in effect; and
(B)except as provided above, all other terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase, to the extent not consistent with the terms and conditions applicable to the Term Loan, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowing Agent;
    (2) in the case of each Incremental Revolving Commitment (the terms of which shall be set forth in the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment):
(A)such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall mature on the Maturity Date, shall bear interest and be entitled to unused fees, in each case at the rate applicable to the Revolving Loans, and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Loans; provided that the interest rate and unused fees applicable to the Incremental Revolving Commitment may be higher if the Applicable Rate and unused fees, as applicable, with respect to the existing Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans are increased to equal the interest rate and unused fees applicable to the Incremental Revolving Commitment;
(B)the applicable outstanding Revolving Loans and, if applicable, Applicable Percentages of Swing Line Loans and L/C-BA Obligations will be reallocated by the Administrative Agent on the applicable Increase Effective Date among the applicable Revolving Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment) in accordance with their revised Applicable Percentages (and the applicable Revolving Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment) agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the Borrowing Agent shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 3.05 in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment); and
72








(C)except as provided above, all of the other terms and conditions applicable to such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Section 2.14, be identical to the terms and conditions applicable to the Revolving Credit Facilities;
(v)such Incremental Increases shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Amendments executed and delivered by the Borrowing Agent, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders (which Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14); 
(vi)no such Incremental Increase shall result in the Incremental Facilities Limit being exceeded; and
(vii)the Borrowing Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.
(f)The Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be Term Loans; provided that any such Incremental Term Loan that is not added to the outstanding principal balance of a pre-existing Term Loan shall be designated as a separate tranche of Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.
(g)The Incremental Lenders shall be included in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required USD Revolving Lenders, Required Multi-Currency Revolving Lenders, Required Specified Currency Revolving Lenders or Required Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, and, except in the case of a Designated Revolver or as otherwise agreed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Lenders, the Incremental Lenders will not constitute a separate voting class for any purposes under this Agreement.
(h)At the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall prepay any Revolving Loans of a Facility outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the applicable outstanding Revolving Loans under a Facility ratable with any revised Applicable Revolving Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the applicable Revolving Commitments of a Facility under this Section 2.14, which prepayment may be made with the proceeds of the Borrowing of a Revolving Loan.
(i)Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.
2.15Cash Collateral.  
(a)Certain Credit Support Events.  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any L/C-BA Issuer (i) if such L/C-BA Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance and such drawing has resulted in an L/C-BA Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Maturity Date, any L/C-BA Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any L/C-BA Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all remaining Fronting Exposure after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender. Additionally, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations at such time exceeds 105% of the L/C-BA Sublimit then in effect, then within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice, subject to Section 2.17(b), the Borrowers shall provide Cash Collateral for the Outstanding Amount of the L/C-BA Obligations in an amount not less than the amount by which the Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations exceeds the L/C-BA Sublimit.
73








(b)Grant of Security Interest.  All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent.  The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any USD Revolving Lender, such USD Revolving Lender, hereby grant to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C-BA Issuers and the USD Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.15(c).  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), the Borrowers or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
(c)Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.15 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.16 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C-BA Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
(d)Release.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable USD Revolving Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.15 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and each L/C-BA Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
2.16Defaulting Lenders. 
(a)Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)Waivers and Amendments.  That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01 and in the definitions of “Required Lenders”, “Required Term Loan Lenders”, “Required USD Revolving Lenders”, “Required Multi-Currency Revolving Lenders”, and “Required Specified Currency Revolving Lenders”.
(ii)Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), 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 that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, if such Defaulting Lender is a USD Revolving Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any L/C-BA Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if such Defaulting Lenders is a USD Revolving Lender and if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any L/C-BA Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future 
74








funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan, Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance; fourth, as the Borrowing Agent may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowing Agent, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, in the case of a Defaulting Lender under any Facility, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other Lenders under such Facility (in the case of the USD Revolving Credit Facility, including the L/C-BA Issuers or Swing Line Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender under such Facility (in the case of the USD Revolving Credit Facility, including any L/C-BA Issuer or Swing Line Lender), against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans under any Facility or L/C-BA Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C-BA Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C-BA Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders under the applicable Facility on a pro rata basis (and ratably among all applicable Facilities computed in accordance with the Defaulting Lenders’ respective funding deficiencies) prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C-BA Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender under the applicable Facility.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)Certain Fees.  That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall (x) not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(i) and BA Fees as provided in Section 2.03(j).
(iv)Reallocation of Applicable Revolving Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  During any period in which a USD Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each USD Revolving Lender that is a non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Applicable Revolving Percentage” and the “Applicable USD Revolving Percentage” of each such non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the USD Revolving Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each USD Revolving Lender that is a non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the USD Revolving Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the USD Revolving Loans of that USD Revolving Lender. Subject to Section 10.19, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
75








(b)Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrowing Agent, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C-BA Issuers agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender under any Facility should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders under such Facility or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans under such Facility (and, if applicable, funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances and Swing Line Loans) to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders under such Facility in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
2.17Joint and Several Obligations. 
(a)To the extent that this Agreement provides that any Obligations hereunder are joint and several, such joint and several obligations shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect until the entire principal, interest, penalties, premiums and late charges, if any, on this Agreement and all additional payments, if any, due pursuant to any other Loan Document shall have been paid and, until such payment has been made, shall not be discharged, affected, modified or impaired upon the happening from time to time of any event, including, without limitation, any of the following (subject to the provisions of applicable law), whether or not with notice to or the consent of any of the Borrowers:
(i)the waiver, compromise, settlement, release, termination or amendment (including, without limitation, any extension or postponement of the time for payment or performance or renewal or refinancing) of any or all of the Obligations or agreements of any of the Borrowers hereunder or any other Loan Document;
(ii)the failure to give notice to any or all of the Borrowers of the occurrence of a default under the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(iii)the release, substitution or exchange by the holder of this Agreement of any collateral securing any of the Obligations (whether with or without consideration) or the acceptance by the holder of this Agreement of any additional collateral or the availability or claimed availability of any other collateral or source of repayment or any non-perfection or other impairment of any collateral;
(iv)the release of any person primarily or secondarily liable for all or any part of the Obligations, whether by Administrative Agent or any other holder of this Agreement or in connection with any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar event or proceeding affecting any or all of the Borrowers or any other person or entity who, or any of whose property, shall at the time in question be obligated in respect of the Obligations or any part thereof; or
(v)to the extent permitted by law, any other event, occurrence, action or circumstance that would, in the absence of this clause, result in the release or discharge of any or all of the Borrowers from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, but without limiting the generality of Section 2.17(a), it is agreed and understood that (1) WFS and each Domestic Designated Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations arising hereunder and (2) each Foreign Designated Borrower shall only be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations of the 
76








Foreign Designated Borrowers, including without limitation all Loans, L/C–BA Obligations and other Obligations made to any of them (or any combination of any of them) or any Foreign Subsidiary.
2.18Borrowing Agent.  To facilitate Borrowings by the Designated Borrowers, each of the Designated Borrowers appoints WFS as its Borrowing Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Facilities and the Term Loan Facility.  As the context may require, references to the Borrowing Agent in giving and receiving certain notices, requests and other documents in connection herewith shall be deemed to refer to WFS so acting on its own behalf as a Borrower.  Each of the Designated Borrowers hereby directs the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C-BA Issuers, as applicable, to disburse the proceeds of each Loan, and to issue Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances, to or at the direction of the Borrowing Agent, and such distribution will, in all circumstances, be deemed to be made to each such Borrower.  Each of the Designated Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates, appoints, authorizes and directs the Borrowing Agent (including each Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent) to act on behalf of such Borrower with respect to the Revolving Credit Facilities for the purposes set forth in this Section 2.18, and to act on behalf of such Borrower for purposes of (i) any Request for Credit Extension of such Borrower, (ii) the giving and receiving of all notices, (iii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certifications under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and all modifications hereto and thereto, (iv) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders to any such Designated Borrower hereunder (which it shall receive in its capacity as Borrowing Agent) and (v) otherwise for taking all other action contemplated to be taken by the Borrowing Agent (including each Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent) hereunder or under any other Loan Document.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer, as applicable, is entitled to rely and act on the instructions of the Borrowing Agent, by and through any Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent, on behalf of each of the Designated Borrowers. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by WFS, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to WFS in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 2.18 to the contrary, the Borrowing Agent shall not have the authority to request on behalf of any of the Designated Borrowers the issuance of Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, unless such Borrower for whose benefit such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance is requested has joined in the execution of the Letter of Credit Application or Bankers’ Acceptance Request, as applicable, relating thereto.  This Section 2.18 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or of any L/C-BA Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 
2.19Designated Borrowers.   
(a)Each of WFS Europe and WFS Singapore shall be a “Designated Borrower” hereunder and may continue to receive Loans for its respective account on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
(b)WFS may at any time request the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary of WFS (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to receive Loans under a particular Facility or Facilities hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Appropriate Lender under such Facility or Facilities) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit K (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”).  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize any Facility hereunder, the following conditions precedent shall have been met (collectively, the “Designated Borrower Conditions”): (i) the Administrative Agent and the Appropriate Lenders shall have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information (including but not limited to information necessary for compliance with applicable “know your customer”, the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations), in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be required by the Administrative Agent or the Appropriate Lenders in their sole discretion, which shall be exercised promptly, and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any Appropriate Lender so requests within 10 Business Days of its receipt of the applicable Designated Borrower Request and Assumption 
77








Agreement from the Administrative Agent, (ii) no Appropriate Lender shall have notified the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days of its receipt of the applicable Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement from the Administrative Agent that it is not permitted by Law or any other organizational policy to make Loans to the Applicant Borrower and (iii) for any Applicant Borrower with a jurisdiction of domicile that is a jurisdiction different from each other Designated Borrower, the satisfaction of such other rules and procedures, and the effectiveness of such amendments to this Agreement, as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, which shall be exercised promptly, deems reasonably necessary for the addition of such Applicant Borrower, which amendments may be effected without the consent of any other Lender, pursuant to, and in a manner consistent with, this Agreement.  Promptly following satisfaction of each of the Designated Borrower Conditions, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit L (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to WFS and the Appropriate Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes of a particular Facility or Facilities hereof, whereupon each of the Appropriate Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Loans under such designated Facility or Facilities, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that no Committed Loan Notice, Letter of Credit Application or Banker’s Acceptance Request may be submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five Business Days after such effective date.
(c)WFS may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from WFS to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status.  Any entity whose status as a Designated Borrower is terminated shall execute a Guaranty Joinder Agreement to be effective simultaneously with such termination.
ARTICLE III.  TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01Taxes. 
(a)Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.  If, however, applicable Laws require the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.  If the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall be required by Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including without limitation United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or an L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.
(c)Tax Indemnifications.
78








(i)Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Borrowers shall, and do hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days (or, in the case of Other Taxes that are goods and services, value-added or similar Taxes, three Business Days) after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  The Borrowers shall also, and do hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after written demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or an L/C-BA Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection.  A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or an L/C-BA Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C-BA Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be required to provide indemnification under this paragraph for any payment or liability incurred more than six months prior to the date that such certificate is delivered.
(ii)Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer shall, and do hereby, indemnify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after written demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e).  Each Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).  The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an L/C-BA Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
(d)Evidence of Payments.  Upon request by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e)Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.
(i)Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, 
79








applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, 
(A)any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and
(B)each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I)duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(II)duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,
(III)duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,
(IV)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, or
(V)duly completed and executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iii)If any payment made pursuant to this Agreement to any Lender, any L/C-BA Issuer or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such recipient 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), each such Lender, L/C-BA Issuer or other recipient shall deliver to the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) 
80








and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(e)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iv)Each Lender, each L/C-BA Issuer and any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation under this Agreement agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(v)Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent in writing of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) deliver to the Borrowing Agent and to the Administrative Agent such duly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws as will permit payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding and take such other steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.
(vi)Each Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural documentation or formalities (including, without limitation, the filing by WFS Europe or any other Designated Borrower existing under the laws of the United Kingdom of an HM Revenue & Customs' Form DTTP2) which may be required in their respective taxing jurisdictions in order for such Borrower to obtain authorization to make payments without (or at a reduced rate of) deduction or withholding and will provide a copy of any applicable  filing to any Lender requesting the same.
(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an L/C-BA Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be.  If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.
3.02Illegality.  
(a)If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Relevant Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, Term SOFR or any other 
81








Relevant Rate or to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowing Agent (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Alternative Currency Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowing Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay all Term SOFR Loans or Alterative Currency Loans, as applicable, in the affected currency or currencies or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), in each case, immediately, or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
(b)Each of the Administrative Agent, each L/C-BA Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and each Lender at its option may make any Credit Extension or otherwise perform its obligations hereunder through any Lending Office (each, a “Designated Lender”); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the relevant Borrower to repay any Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any Designated Lender shall be considered a Lender; provided that designation of a Designated Lender is for administrative convenience only and does not expand the scope of liabilities or obligations of any Lender or Designated Lender beyond those of the Lender designating such Person as a Designated Lender as provided in this Agreement. If, in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, any L/C-BA Issuer or any Lender or any Designated Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Administrative Agent, any L/C-BA Issuer or any Lender or its applicable Designated Lender to (i) perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (ii) to fund, hold a commitment or maintain its participation in any Loan, Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance or (iii) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest or fees with respect to any Credit Extension to any Foreign Designated Borrower, such Person shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Borrowing Agent, and until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest or fees with respect to any such Credit Extension shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable Law, cancelled. Upon receipt of such notice, the Loan Parties shall, (A) repay that Person’s participation in the Loans or other applicable Obligations on the last day of the Interest Period for each Loan or other Obligation occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrowing Agent or, if earlier, the date specified by such Person in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by applicable Law), (B) to the extent applicable to such L/C-BA Issuer, Cash Collateralize that portion of applicable L/C-BA Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized and (C) take all reasonable actions requested by such Person to mitigate or avoid such illegality. 
3.03Inability to Determine Rates.  
(a)If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall

be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency has been determined in accordance with Section 3.03(d) and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 3.03(d) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (as applicable), or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency for any determination date(s) or requested Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that the Relevant Rate with respect to a proposed Loan denominated in an Agreed Currency for any requested Interest Period or  determination date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowing Agent and each Lender.  
(b)Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Loans in the affected currencies, as applicable, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of Section 3.03(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  
(c)Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowing Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to Term SOFR Loans, or Borrowing of, or continuation of Alternative Currency Loans to the extent of the affected Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein and (ii) (A) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately and (B) any outstanding affected Alternative Currency Loans, at the Borrowing Agent’s election, shall either (1) be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Alternative Currency Loan immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan or (2) be prepaid in full immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan; provided that if no election is made by the Borrowing Agent (x) in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowing Agent of such notice or (y) in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, by the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, the Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.
(d)Replacement of Relevant Rate or Successor Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowing Agent or Required Facility Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Facility Lenders, a copy to the Borrowing Agent) that the Borrowing Agent or such Required Facility Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) is available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(ii)the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or used 
83








for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in such Agreed Currency, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);  or
(iii)syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the U.S., are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency; 
(iv)or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.03(d)(i), (ii) or (iii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowing Agent may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency or any then current Successor Rate for an Agreed Currency in accordance with this Section 3.03 with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowing Agent unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Facility Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Facility Lenders object to such amendment. 
(e)The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrowing Agent and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.
(f)Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.
(g)Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than 0.0%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0.0% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(h)In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrowing Agent and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
3.04Increased Costs. 
(a)Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
84








(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer;
(ii)subject any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Bankers’ Acceptance, any participation in a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer in respect thereof (in each case, except for (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01, (B) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Tax described in any of clauses (a) through (f) of the definition of Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, and (C) Connection Income Taxes); or
(iii)impose on any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, the Borrowers will, subject to Section 3.04(c), pay to such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C-BA Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C-BA Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C-BA Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances issued by such L/C-BA Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C-BA Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such L/C-BA Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C-BA Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will, subject to Section 3.04(c), pay to such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C-BA Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)Certificates for Reimbursement.  Any Lender or an L/C-BA Issuer claiming compensation pursuant to subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section shall deliver to the Borrowing Agent a certificate setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, and the basis for such compensation as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d)Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C-BA Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C-BA Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowing Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C-BA Issuer’s 
85








intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law 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).
3.05Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) to the Borrowing Agent from time to time, which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the amount being claimed, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b)any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowing Agent; 
(c)any failure by the Borrowers to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or
(d)any assignment of a Term SOFR Loan or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowing Agent pursuant to Section 10.13;
including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract (but excluding any loss of anticipated profits).  The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Term SOFR Loan and Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan made by it at the Relevant Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Loan was in fact so funded.
3.06Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  
(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount or Indemnified Tax to any Lender, any L/C-BA Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, as the case may be.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount or Indemnified Tax to any Lender or any 
86








Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.
3.07Survival.  All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE IV.  CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CREDIT EXTENSIONS
4.01Reserved.  
4.02Conditions to all Credit Extensions.

(b)No Default shall exist, or would result from such proposed Credit Extension or from the application of the proceeds thereof.
(c)The Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the applicable L/C-BA Issuer or the Swing Line Lender shall have received a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with the requirements hereof.
(d)In the case of a Credit Extension to be denominated in an Alternative Currency, such currency remains an Eligible Currency.
(e)If the applicable Borrower is a Designated Borrower, then the conditions of Section 2.19 to the designation of such Borrower as a Designated Borrower shall have been met to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.
(f)Each Request for Credit Extension (other than a Committed Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Loans to the other Type or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans) submitted by the Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Credit Extension.
ARTICLE V.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

5.03Governmental Authorization; Other Consents.  No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, any Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than any consent or approval which has been obtained and is in full force and effect) and except to the extent the failure to obtain the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.04Binding Effect.  This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document, when delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto.  This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, and (ii) any lack of enforceability of any “keepwell” provision included in any Loan Document against any Loan Party that is a Foreign Subsidiary (other than any Foreign Subsidiary that is a Borrower) as a result of laws applicable to such Loan Party.
5.05Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect.  
(a)The Audited Financial Statements (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; (ii) fairly present the consolidated financial condition of WFS and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their consolidated results of operations for the period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; and (iii) show all material indebtedness and other material liabilities, direct or contingent, of WFS and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof.
(b)The unaudited consolidated balance sheets of WFS and its Subsidiaries dated September 30, 2021 delivered pursuant to this Agreement (prior to giving effect to Amendment No. 8), and the related consolidated statements of income or operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal quarter ended on that date (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, and (ii) fairly present the consolidated financial condition of WFS and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the period covered thereby, subject, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments.
(c)Since the date of the Audited Financial Statements, there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d)The consolidated forecasted balance sheet and related consolidated statements of income and cash flows of WFS and its Subsidiaries most recently delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(c) were prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions that were reasonable in light of the conditions existing at the time of delivery of such forecasts, it being understood that projections, forecasts and other 
88








forward looking information are subject to significant contingencies and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of WFS and that no assurance can be given that such projections and forecasts will be realized.
5.06Litigation.  There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or against any of their properties that (a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) either individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.07No Default.  Neither any Loan Party nor any Restricted Subsidiary thereof is in default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation that could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
5.08Ownership of Property; Liens.  Each of the Borrowers and each Restricted Subsidiary has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its business, except for such defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No property of any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is subject to any Liens, other than Liens permitted by Section 7.01.
5.09Environmental Compliance.  Each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary conducts in the ordinary course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations and properties, and as a result thereof each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary has reasonably concluded that such Environmental Laws and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.10Insurance.  The properties of each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where such Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary operates.
5.11Taxes.  Each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary have filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all Federal, state and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP.  There is no proposed tax assessment against any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither any Loan Party nor any Restricted Subsidiary thereof is party to any tax sharing agreement.
5.12ERISA Compliance. 
(a)Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state laws, except to the extent that such noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS to the effect that the form of such Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by the IRS to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS.  To the best knowledge of each Borrower, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status.
(b)There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could 
89








reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(c)Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (i) no ERISA Event has occurred, and neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is aware of any fact, event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA Event with respect to any Pension Plan; (ii) each Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate has met all applicable requirements under the Pension Funding Rules in respect of each Pension Plan, and no waiver of the minimum funding standards under the Pension Funding Rules has been applied for or obtained, in each case, to the extent the liability resulting therefrom could not reasonably be expected to exceed the Threshold Amount; (iii) as of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan, the funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is 60% or higher and neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate knows of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage for any such plan to drop below 60% as of the most recent valuation date, in each case, to the extent the liability resulting therefrom could not reasonably be expected to exceed the Threshold Amount; (iv) neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become due that are unpaid; (v) neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) no Pension Plan has been terminated by the plan administrator thereof nor by the PBGC, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to cause the PBGC to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate any Pension Plan.
(d)Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to, or has any unsatisfied obligation to contribute to, or liability under, any active or terminated Pension Plan other than (A) on the Closing Date, those listed on Schedule 5.12(d) hereto and (B) thereafter, Pension Plans not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.
(e)With respect to each scheme or arrangement mandated by a government other than the United States (a “Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement”) and with respect to each employee benefit plan maintained or contributed to by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Loan Party that is not subject to United States law (a “Foreign Plan”):
(i)any employer and employee contributions required by law or by the terms of any Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement or any Foreign Plan have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance with normal accounting practices, except to the extent that the failure to comply with such law or such terms could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(ii)the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations, as of the date hereof, with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to account for such obligations in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles, except to the extent that such insufficiency could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and
(iii)each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, except to the extent that such failure to register or maintain good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f)On and as of the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date, WFS is not and will not be (a) an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the Code; (c) an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any such plans or accounts for purposes of ERISA or the Code; or (d) a “governmental plan” within the meaning of ERISA.
90








5.13Subsidiaries; Equity Interests.  As of the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date, WFS has no Subsidiaries other than those specifically disclosed in Part (a) of Schedule 5.13, and as of the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date all of the outstanding Equity Interests in such Subsidiaries and owned by WFS or one of its Subsidiaries have been validly issued to WFS or the applicable Subsidiary, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by WFS or a Subsidiary free and clear of all Liens except those created under the Pledge Agreement.  As of the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date, none of WFS or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any equity investments in any other corporation or entity other than as set forth on Part (b) of Schedule 5.13 or otherwise permitted by Section 7.02.  All of the outstanding Equity Interests in WFS have been validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable.  Set forth on Part (c) of Schedule 5.13 is a complete and accurate list of all Loan Parties, showing as of the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date (as to each Loan Party) the jurisdiction of its incorporation, the address of its registered office and its U.S. taxpayer identification number or, in the case of any non-U.S. Loan Party that does not have a U.S. taxpayer identification number, its unique identification number (if any) issued to it by the jurisdiction of its incorporation.  The copy of the charter of each Loan Party and each amendment thereto provided pursuant to Amendment No. 8 is a true and correct copy of each such document, each of which is valid and in full force and effect as of the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date.
5.14Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act.  
(a)No Borrower is engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock.  Following the application of the proceeds of each Borrowing or drawing under each Letter of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptance, not more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of any Borrower by itself or any Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 or Section 7.05 or subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or instrument between such Borrower, or among one or more Borrowers, and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender relating to Indebtedness and within the scope of Section 8.01(e) will be margin stock.

(a)declare the commitment of each Revolving Lender to make Revolving Loans and any obligation of each L/C-BA Issuer to make L/C-BA Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated; 
(b)declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of each L/C-BA Issuer to make L/C-BA Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the L/C-BA Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
8.03Application of Funds.  After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C-BA Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations (including amounts received pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) shall, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement (if any), Sections 2.15 and 2.16, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:
First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, Letter of Credit Fees and BA Fees) arising under the Loan Documents and payable to the Lenders, the Foreign Obligation Providers and the L/C-BA Issuers 
109








(including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders, the Foreign Obligation Providers and the L/C-BA Issuers (including fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer) arising under the Loan Documents and the Foreign Obligation Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Subject to Sections 2.03(d) and 2.15, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances as they occur.  If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if any).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.  Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent (as collateral agent) on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement (if any).

9.02Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
9.03Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; 
(c)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the 
111








Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;
(d)The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or an L/C-BA Issuer; and
(e)The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
9.04Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C-BA Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
9.05Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
9.06Resignation of Administrative Agent.   The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C-BA Issuers and the Borrowing Agent.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowing Agent, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C-BA Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowing Agent and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and 
112








(2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
(b)If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrowing Agent and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrowing Agent so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C-BA Issuer and Swing Line Lender.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring L/C-BA Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) such retiring L/C-BA Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C-BA Issuer of such retiring L/C-BA Issuer shall issue letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances in substitution for the Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances issued by such retiring L/C-BA Issuer, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such retiring L/C-BA Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C-BA Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit or Bankers' Acceptances.
9.07Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer expressly acknowledges that the Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender or each L/C-BA Issuer as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its (or its Related Parties’) possession.  Each Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties.  Each Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender or L/C-BA Issuer for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or L/C-BA Issuer, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, 
113








and each Lender and each  L/C-BA Issuer agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing.  Each Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.
9.08No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Joint Lead Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents or Documentation Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an L/C-BA Issuer hereunder.
9.09Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C-BA Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C-BA Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C-BA Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C-BA Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C-BA Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i), (j) and (k), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C-BA Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer in any such proceeding.
9.10Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank, potential Foreign Obligation Provider and a potential Hedge Bank) and the L/C-BA Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:
(a)to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances (other than Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the 
114








applicable L/C-BA Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to give blockage notices in connection with any Subordinated Debt at the direction of Required Lenders and agrees that it will not act unilaterally to deliver such notices.
9.11Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Cash Management Bank, Foreign Obligation Provider or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Section 8.03, the Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) (or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty or any Collateral Document) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank, Foreign Obligation Provider or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.
9.12ERISA Provisions.

(b)In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that none of Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Bankers’ Acceptances, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
9.13Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender Recipient Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by any Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender Recipient Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender Recipient Party in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate. Each Lender Recipient Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount.  The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender Recipient Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender Recipient Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c)Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C-BA Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender (and with respect to the LC-BA Issuer, each USD Revolving Lender) severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C-BA Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that 
121








the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any L/C-BA Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any L/C-BA Issuer in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).
(d)Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) a breach in bad faith by an Indemnitee of Section 10.07.
(e)Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.
(f)Survival.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the L/C-BA Issuers and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
10.5Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C-BA Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C-BA Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C-BA Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment.  The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C-BA Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
10.6Successors and Assigns.  
(a)Successors and Assigns Generally.  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, except that neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in 
122








subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C-BA Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C-BA Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)Minimum Amounts.
(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B)in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $10,000,000, in the case of an assignment in respect of the USD Revolving Credit Facility, the Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility or the Specified Currency Revolving Credit Facility, or $5,000,000, in the case of an assignment in respect of the Term Loan Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowing Agent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.
(ii)Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;
(iii)Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A)the consent of the Borrowing Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any Term Loan Commitment or Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with respect to the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or 
123








an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
(C)the consent of each L/C-BA Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances (whether or not then outstanding); and
(D)the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under any Swing Line Loan (whether or not then outstanding).
(iv)Assignment and Assumption.  The assignor and assignee parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made (A) to any Borrower or any of any Borrower’s Affiliates or Restricted Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural person. 
(vi)Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
124








(c)Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Incremental Facility Amendment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C-BA Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrowers or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Restricted Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C-BA Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C-BA Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, 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 Obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.
(e)Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender 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 Borrowing Agent’s prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) and (f) as though it were a Lender.
125








(f)Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Revolving Note or Term Loan Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g)Resignation as L/C-BA Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any L/C-BA Issuer assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such L/C-BA Issuer may, (i) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrowing Agent and the Lenders, resign as an L/C-BA Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrowing Agent, resign as Swing Line Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as an L/C-BA Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrowing Agent shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C-BA Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowing Agent to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the applicable L/C-BA Issuer as an L/C-BA Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.  If Bank of America resigns as an L/C-BA Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C-BA Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C-BA Issuer and all L/C-BA Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(d)).  If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).  Upon the appointment of a successor L/C-BA Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C-BA Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C-BA Issuer shall issue letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances in substitution for the Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances issued by the applicable retiring L/C-BA Issuer, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable retiring L/C-BA Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the applicable retiring L/C-BA Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances.
10.7Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C-BA Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(c), (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations or (iii) any third party vendor engaged by a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender whose access to the Information is reasonably necessary for such vendor to perform the services or procedures for which such vendor has been engaged by such Lender or Affiliate, (g) with the consent of the Borrowing Agent or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C-BA Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers.  For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary relating to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer on a nonconfidential basis 
126








prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C-BA Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.
This Section 10.07 is not, and shall not be deemed to constitute, an express or implied agreement by the Administrative Agent with any Loan Party for a higher degree of confidentiality than that prescribed in Section 47 of the Banking Act, Chapter 19 of Singapore and in the Third Schedule to the Banking Act, Chapter 19 of Singapore.
10.8Right of Setoff.  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if any), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C-BA Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C-BA Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such L/C-BA Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender, each L/C-BA Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C-BA Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender and each L/C-BA Issuer agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
10.9Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
10.10Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as 
127








provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successor and assigns.
10.11Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance shall remain outstanding.
10.12Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any L/C-BA Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 
10.13Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount or Indemnified Tax to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, if any Lender is a Restricted Lender (as defined below) or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrowers the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a)the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);
(b)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C-BA Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
(c)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 
(d)in the case of any such assignment by a Restricted Lender, the assignee must have approved in writing the substance of the amendment, waiver or consent which caused the assignor to be a Restricted Lender; and
(e)such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
128








A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
For the purposes of this Section 10.13, a “Restricted Lender” means a Lender that fails to approve an amendment, waiver or consent requested by the Loan Parties pursuant to Section 10.01 that has received the written approval of not less than the Required Lenders but also requires the approval of such Lender.

(c)WAIVER OF VENUE.

10.15Subordination.  Each Loan Party (a “Subordinating Loan Party”) hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of any other Loan Party owing to it, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any such other Loan Party to the Subordinating Loan Party as subrogee of the Secured Parties or resulting from such Subordinating Loan Party’s performance under the Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations. If the Secured Parties so request, during the continuance of an Event of Default, any such obligation or indebtedness of any such other Loan Party to the Subordinating Loan Party shall be enforced and performance received by the Subordinating Loan Party as trustee for the Secured Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Secured Parties on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Subordinating Loan Party under this Agreement.
10.16No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between each Borrower, each of the Loan Parties, and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Joint Lead Arranger has any obligation to any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Joint Lead Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
10.17Electronic Execution; Electronic Records; Counterparts. This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures.  Each of the Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C-BA Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, and each Lender (collectively, each a “Credit Party”) agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered.   Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication.  For 
130








the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Credit Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document.  All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent, L/C-BA Issuer nor Swing Line Lender is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent, L/C-BA Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Credit Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.  For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.
Neither the Administrative Agent, L/C-BA Issuer nor Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s, L/C-BA Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent, L/C-BA Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).  
Each of the Loan Parties and each Credit Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document, and (ii) any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Credit Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Credit Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
10.18USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.  The Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.
10.19Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Solely to the extent any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or any L/C-BA Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and 
131








Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender or L/C-BA Issuer that is an Affected  Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
10.20Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
10.21Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, 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 that on which final judgment is given.
