Each Revolving Credit Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) 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.

No more than eight (8) Revolving Credit Borrowings may be initiated in any given calendar month.
(i)    Reserved.
(f)    Any Loan Notice identifying a Co-Borrower as the party to whom the applicable Loan should be directed may designate such Co-Borrower as the “primary obligor” with respect to such Loan and amounts payable with respect thereto.  Such designation, however, shall not prevent the Borrower, each other Co-Borrower and each Guarantor hereunder from remaining liable for the full and final repayment of such Loan and such other amounts and for the full and final repayment of the Obligations as required pursuant to the terms hereof and the Borrower, each Co-Borrower and each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and

agrees that each of them shall be and shall remain liable for the full and final repayment of each Loan, as applicable, made pursuant to the terms hereof in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of the party to whom such Loan is funded and regardless of whether a specific party is designated as the “primary obligor” with respect thereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender.

(i)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit 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 Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, any Consolidated Entity or any Unconsolidated Entity, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower, any Consolidated Entity or any Unconsolidated Entity and any drawings thereunder; provided that, after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (z) the aggregate Unsecured Debt of the Borrower and the Combined Parties (including any requested or pending Credit Extension) shall not exceed the amount permitted pursuant to Section 7.03(a) hereof.  Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C 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 Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that are expiring or have expired or that have been drawn upon and 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 Issuer shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A)    subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Revolving Credit Lenders have approved such expiry date; or
(B)    the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Credit Lenders have approved such expiry date; or
(C)    the requested Letter of Credit is not a standby letter of credit.

Exhibit 10(n)



(iii)    No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit 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 Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;
(B)    the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws or one or more policies of such L/C Issuer;
(C)    such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;
(D)    such Letter of Credit contains any provision for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or
(E)    a default of any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Revolving Credit Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as the applicable L/C Issuer may elect in its sole discretion.
(iv)    No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.
(v)    No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(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 Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (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 Borrower.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such L/C 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 


42
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such L/C 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 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 Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C 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 Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
(ii)    Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C 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 Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless such L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit , that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Consolidated Entity or Unconsolidated Entity) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii)    If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”) so long as no Default exists on the renewal date or would be caused by such renewal; provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve (12) 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 (12) month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C 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 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 writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (I) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Credit Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (II) from the Administrative Agent, any 


43
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



Revolving Credit Lender or any Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
(iv)    Reserved.
(v)    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 Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c)    Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i)    Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof.  Not later than 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the date of any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.  If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.  In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Revolving Credit Loan Notice).  Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(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 Revolving Credit Lender (including the Revolving Credit Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral (provided by Defaulting Lenders) for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.
(iii)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall (except to the extent such Unreimbursed Amount was not refinanced as a result of the failure of Revolving Credit Lenders to fund a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with the terms and 


44
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



conditions set forth herein) bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv)    Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.
(v)    Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the 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 Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Revolving Credit Loan Notice).  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi)    If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit 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 Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing.  If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be.  A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Repayment of Participations.
(i)    At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will 


45
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share 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 an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share 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 Revolving Credit Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
(e)    Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse each L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C 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, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense (other than a defense of payment) or other right that the Borrower or any Combined Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit 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 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;
(iv)    any payment by an L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by an L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit 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, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; 
(v)    waiver by an L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for any L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower;
(vi)    honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;
(vii)    any payment made by an L/C 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 if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable; or


46
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



(viii)    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, the Borrower or any Combined Party;
in each case, to the extent not resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable L/C Issuer as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer.  The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f)    Role of L/C Issuer.  Each Revolving Credit Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer shall 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 (other than conformance to the terms of the Letter of Credit) of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuers shall be liable to any Revolving Credit Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit 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 or Letter of Credit Application.  The Borrower hereby assumes 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 Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuers, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that, anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower, Consolidated Entities or Unconsolidated Entities which the Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or such L/C 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.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an L/C 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 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 the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g)    Reserved.
(h)    Applicability of ISP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.


47

Exhibit 10(n)



(i)    Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit Fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate from time to time in effect for the Revolving Credit Facility times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  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) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date after the Closing Date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  If there is any change in the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Credit Facility during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Credit Facility separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate for the Revolving Credit Facility was in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
(j)    Fronting Fee and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.  The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer equal to one eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  Such fronting fee for each Letter of Credit shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) 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 Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter within five (5) days of 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 Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit issued by such L/C Issuer as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(k)    Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Documents, the terms hereof shall control.
(l)    Letters of Credit Issued for Consolidated Entities/Unconsolidated Entities.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Consolidated Entity or Unconsolidated Entity, the Borrower shall (i) be required to sign the applicable Letter of Credit Application and (ii) be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Consolidated Entity and/or any Unconsolidated Entity inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Persons.
Section 2.04    Swing Line Loans.
(a)    The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lenders, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, agree to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower and/or the Co-Borrower identified by Borrower in the applicable Swing Line Loan Notice 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

Exhibit 10(n)



Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the applicable Revolving Credit Lender acting as a Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (iii) the aggregate Unsecured Debt of the Borrower and the Combined Parties (including any requested or pending Credit Extension) shall not exceed the amount permitted pursuant to Section 7.03(a) hereof, and provided, further, that the Borrower 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 Borrower and Co-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 Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b)    Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the applicable Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent (on Borrower’s own behalf or on behalf of a Co-Borrower), which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lenders and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice.  Each such Swing Line Loan Notice must be received by the applicable Swing Line Lenders and the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day.  Promptly after receipt by the applicable Swing Line Lenders of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the applicable Swing Line Lenders 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 applicable Swing Line Lenders will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  Unless the applicable Swing Line Lenders have received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lenders not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the 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 applicable Swing Line Lender will, not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower or the applicable Co-Borrower.
(c)    Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i)    Each Swing Line Lender at any time five (5) or more Business Days after the making of a Swing Line Loan and in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower or the applicable Co-Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes each Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of the applicable Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  The applicable Swing Line Lenders shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Revolving Credit Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Revolving Credit Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral (provided by Defaulting Lenders) for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the day specified in such Revolving Credit Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower or the applicable Co-Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Swing Line Lenders.
(ii)    If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the applicable Swing Line Lenders as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the applicable Swing Line Lenders that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii)    If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lenders any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the applicable Swing Line Lenders shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit 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 applicable Swing Line Lenders at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the applicable Swing Line Lenders in connection with the foregoing.  If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of the applicable Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)    Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit 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 set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against any Swing Line Lender, the Borrower, any Co-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 Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit 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 


50

Exhibit 10(n)



otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d)    Repayment of Participations.
(i)    At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the applicable Swing Line Lenders receive any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the applicable Swing Line Lenders will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment thereof in the same funds as those received by the applicable Swing Line Lenders.
(ii)    If any payment received by a Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any applicable Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by a Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to such Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share 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 Federal Funds Rate.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of such Swing Line Lender.
(e)    Interest for Account of Swing Line Lenders.  Each Swing Line Lenders shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on its Swing Line Loans.  Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of such Swing Line Lender.
(f)    Payments Directly to Swing Line Lenders.  The Borrower shall (on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Co-Borrower(s)) or the applicable Co-Borrower may make all payments of principal and interest in respect of applicable Swing Line Loans directly to the applicable Swing Line Lenders. 
(g)    Swing Line Loans to Co-Borrowers.  Any Swing Line Loan Notice identifying a Co-Borrower as the party to whom the applicable Swing Line Loan should be directed may designate such Co-Borrower as the “primary obligor” with respect to such Swing Line Loan and amounts payable with respect thereto.  Such designation, however, shall not prevent the Borrower, each other Co-Borrower and each Guarantor hereunder from remaining liable for the full and final repayment of such Swing Line Loan and such other amounts and for the full and final repayment of the Obligations as required pursuant to the terms hereof and the Borrower, each Co-Borrower and each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that each of them shall be and shall remain liable for the full and final repayment of each Swing Line Loan made pursuant to the terms hereof in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of the party to whom such Swing Line Loan is funded and regardless of whether a specific party is designated as the “primary obligor” with respect thereto.
Section 2.05    Prepayments.
(a)    The Borrower (and the Co-Borrowers) shall be permitted to prepay the Loans in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
(i)    The Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Co-Borrower(s)) or the applicable Co-Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time (A) voluntarily prepay Base Rate Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty and 


51
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



(B) voluntarily prepay Eurodollar Rate Loans in whole or in part on the last day of the applicable Interest Period without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) (A) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (3) 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.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, following the date on which any Incremental Term Facility becomes effective pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, whether the Loans to be prepaid are Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans (or any applicable combination thereof) (and in the absence of any designation in such notice as to which Facility to prepay, prepayment amounts shall be applied to Revolving Credit Loans).
(ii)    The Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Co-Borrower(s)) or the applicable Co-Borrower may voluntarily prepay Eurodollar Rate Loans in whole or in part on any date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto without premium; provided that the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a timely notice of prepayment in accordance with clause (a) above and pay any “breakage” charges and increased costs or charges incurred by the Lenders as the result of such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.05.
In the case of any prepayment made or to be made in connection with subclauses (i) or (ii) above: (A) the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice with respect thereto, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed prepayment; (B) if such notice is given by the Borrower (whether on its own behalf or on behalf of any Co-Borrower) or the applicable Co-Borrower, the Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Co-Borrower(s)) or the applicable Co-Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; (C) any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05; and (D) each such prepayment shall be applied to the applicable Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.  The failure of the Borrower or the applicable Co-Borrower to make a prepayment hereunder following the delivery of a notice of a pending prepayment pursuant to the provisions contained in this clause (a) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept any prepayment offered by the Borrower or the applicable Co-Borrower hereunder unless timely notice thereof has been given in accordance with (and to the extent required by) this clause (a) and Borrower’s or the applicable Co-Borrower’s prepayment is accompanied by any “breakage” charges and all other increased costs or charges incurred by the Lenders as the result of such prepayment.
(b)    The Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Co-Borrower(s)) or the applicable Co-Borrower may, upon notice to the applicable Swing Line Lenders (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay the applicable Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the applicable Swing Line Lenders and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, 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.  If such notice is given by the Borrower (whether on its own behalf or on behalf of any Co-Borrower) or the applicable Co-Borrower, the Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Co-Borrower(s)) or the applicable Co-Borrower shall make such 


52
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  The failure of the Borrower or the applicable Co-Borrower to make a prepayment hereunder following the delivery of a notice of a pending prepayment pursuant to the provisions contained in this clause (b) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept any prepayment offered by the Borrower or the applicable Co-Borrower hereunder unless timely notice thereof has been given in accordance with (and to the extent required by) this clause (b).
(c)    If for any reason the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect or the aggregate Unsecured Debt of the Borrower and the Combined Parties (including any requested or pending Credit Extension) exceeds the amount permitted pursuant to Section 7.03(a) hereof, the Borrower or the applicable Co-Borrower shall (on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Co-Borrower(s)) immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, as applicable; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.
Section 2.06    Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments; Increases of Facilities.
(a)    Voluntary Terminations or Reductions.  The Borrower may (as representative for all Borrower Parties), upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time permanently and irrevocably reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments.  Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender according to its Pro Rata Share.  All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.  
(b)    Voluntary Increases in the Facilities.  
(i)    Availability.  Following the Closing Date and subject to the conditions of this Section 2.06, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time request the addition of one or more tranches of term loans (an “Incremental Term Facility”) and/or increases in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (“Incremental Revolving Commitments”) by an amount not exceeding, in the aggregate, Five Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($500,000,000); provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent that any such request for an increase or the addition of a term loan tranche shall be in a minimum amount of Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) and in increments of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) in excess thereof, or if less, the entire remaining available amount.  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders) and the Borrower may also invite prospective lenders to respond.


53
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



(ii)    Lender Elections.  Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to provide a portion of the Incremental Term Facility and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested Incremental Term Facility and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments.  Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to provide a portion of the Incremental Term Facility and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as applicable.  Each prospective lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to fund any portion of the requested Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Commitments and, if so, by what amount.  Any prospective lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to fund any portion of the Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as applicable.
(iii)    Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ and prospective lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and their respective counsel.  If any prospective lender agrees to fund any portion of the requested Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Commitments (an “Additional Lender”), such Additional Lender shall become a Lender hereunder pursuant to such joinder agreement, provided that such Additional Lender shall have been approved by the Administrative Agent and, if such Additional Lender has agreed to fund a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitments, by the Swing Line Lenders and the L/C Issuers (in each case, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(iv)    Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Incremental Term Facility and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments are effected in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocations of such Incremental Term Facility and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments which, for any existing Lender participating in such Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Commitments, need not be ratable in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares prior to such increase).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of such final allocations and the Increase Effective Date.
(v)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to any such increase, the Borrower shall (A) pay (I) to the Arrangers, the Accordion Arrangement Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) required by the Fee Letter in connection with such increase in the applicable Facility, (II) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders participating in the increase of the applicable Facility, upfront fees in amounts mutually agreeable to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, such Lenders and the Borrower, and (III) all reasonable costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in documenting or implementing such increase regardless of whether the Arrangers are able to syndicate the amount of the requested increase; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not pay any fees for increased amounts until such time as the increase occurs; and (B) deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of or on behalf of such Loan Party (I) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (II) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase and the use of the proceeds thereof, (x) the Loan Parties shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with Sections 7.03 and 7.11, (y) the representations and warranties 


54
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct, in all material respects (except, if a qualifier relating to materiality or Material Adverse Effect or a similar concept already applies, such representation or warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all respects), on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent of changes resulting from matters permitted under the Loan Documents or other changes in the ordinary course of business not having a Material Adverse Effect, and 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 (except, if a qualifier relating to materiality or Material Adverse Effect or a similar concept already applies, such representation or warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all respects), as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section, 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 pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (z) no Default or Event of Default exists as of the Increase Effective Date.  To the extent that the increase shall take the form of an Incremental Term Facility, this Agreement shall be amended as provided in clause (vi) below.  
(vi)    Rank; Amendments.  Each Incremental Term Facility (A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Credit Facility, (B) shall not mature earlier than the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility and (C) shall not contain additional or different covenants or financial covenants which are more restrictive in any material respect than the covenants applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility unless either such covenants benefit all of the Lenders or are otherwise consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent.  Each Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be evidenced by an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement executed by the Loan Parties, each existing Lender agreeing to provide any portion of such Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Commitments, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent.  An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to the Loan Documents as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be reasonably necessary to include such borrowing and payment terms as are customary for a term loan facility of this type and otherwise to effect the provisions of this clause (vi).  Without limitation of the below cost and yield protection provisions, in the event any Incremental Revolving Commitments result in breakage or redeployment costs to the Lenders, the Borrower shall pay such costs in accordance with Section 3.05.  For the purpose of clarity, the Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments which may result from any such Incremental Revolving Commitments.  No Incremental Revolving Commitments shall increase the sublimit for Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans without the consent of the L/C Issuers and/or the Swing Line Lenders (as applicable).
(vii)    Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.
(c)    General.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of increase, termination or reduction of any Facility.  To the extent any Facility is increased pursuant to clause (b) above, all Lenders (including both previously-existing and new Lenders) may request new Notes reflecting their respective Pro Rata Share of such Facility and new Lenders shall, to the extent necessary to cause the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and other Obligations allocable to each Lender to equal each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, fund Loans directly to the other Lenders, as directed by the Administrative Agent.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Parties hereby 


55
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



agree to execute and deliver any new Notes requested pursuant to this Section 2.06 to evidence the Loans made by the Lenders (provided that any Notes being replaced are either returned, cancelled or marked as replaced and any Notes delivered by the respective Co-Borrowers shall be held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 2.11(b) hereof) and acknowledge, consent and agree to the funding by any new Lenders of Loans pursuant to the previous sentence for the purpose of causing the Outstanding Amount of such Loans to equal each Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share.
Section 2.07    Repayment of Loans.
(a)    The Borrower Parties shall repay to the Administrative Agent (i) for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility, the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date, and (ii) if any Incremental Term Facility is in effect, for the benefit of the Term Facility Lenders on the Maturity Date for such Incremental Term Facility, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date, under such Incremental Term Facility.
(b)    The Borrower Parties shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date five (5) Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility.
(c)    Reserved.
Section 2.08    Interest.
(a)    (1)    Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (w) each Eurodollar Rate Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for such Facility; (x) each Base Rate Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility (other than Swing Line Loans) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for such Facility; (y) each LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rated per annum equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate for such Facility; and (z) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate.
(i)    Reserved.
(b)    (1)    If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws (until such time as such payment is made and all Events of Default existing under this Agreement are cured, at which point the Default Rate shall no longer be applied).
(i)    If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by any Borrower Party under any Loan Document is not paid by the date on which such failure to pay constitutes an Event of Default hereunder (whether as a result of the stated maturity of any Obligations, by acceleration or otherwise), then, unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws (until such time as all Events of Default existing under this Agreement are cured, at which point the Default Rate shall no longer be applied).


56
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



(ii)    Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower Parties shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder from the date of such Event of Default at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws (until such time as all Events of Default existing under this Agreement are cured, at which point the Default Rate shall no longer be applied).
(iii)    Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c)    Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
(d)    The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower Parties for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.03(c)(iii) and Sections 2.08(a) and (b).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all amounts paid or due pursuant to Article III hereof and all fees provided for in Section 2.09 and all other agency fees, syndication fees, arrangement fees, amendment fees, up-front fees, commitment fees, facility fees, unused fee, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other similar amounts or charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money.  Any use by any Borrower Party of certificates of deposit issued by any Lender or other accounts maintained with any Lender has been and shall be voluntary on the part of such Borrower Party.  All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.
(e)    If at any time Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) circumstances have arisen that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate or the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate, as applicable (including, without limitation, because such applicate rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such interest period, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in the foregoing clause (i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurodollar Rate or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate, as applicable, or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then promptly after such determination, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower Parties shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate, as applicable, that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes as may be applicable (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) (an “Unavailable Interest Rate Amendment”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such Unavailable Interest Rate Amendment shall become effective with the consent of the Required Lenders which shall be deemed to be granted if the Administrative Agent posts a copy of such proposed Unavailable Interest Rate Amendment and does not receive, within five (5) 


57
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



Business Days thereafter, a written notice from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.  For the purpose of clarity, any Unavailable Interest Rate Amendment shall be subject to deemed approval only by the Required Lenders (not a unanimous Lender approval).
Section 2.09    Fees.  In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03:
(a)    Facility Fee. In consideration of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder, the Borrower Parties shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders) a facility fee equal to the Applicable Rate (based on a 365-day year) times the actual daily amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (or, if the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated, on the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations), regardless of usage (the “Facility Fee”).  The Facility Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans or L/C Obligations remain outstanding), 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 first day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).  All Facility Fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.  The Facility Fee shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees payable under this Section 2.09(a) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans funded by it, plus (ii) its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16.
(b)    Other Fees.  The Borrower shall, without duplication, pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent the fees described in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.  Bank of America shall pay to the Lenders that portion of such fees paid to it by the Borrower that represent the upfront fees specified in the Fee Letter as being payable to such Lenders.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
Section 2.10    Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rates.  
(a)    All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of actual days elapsed in, as applicable, (i) a 365 day year for Base Rate Loans and (ii) a 360 day year for Eurodollar Rate Loans and LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  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 (1) day.
(b)    If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, 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 Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically

and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C 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 (after giving credit to any confirmed overpayments for prior periods determined in such restatement).  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or 2.08 or under Article VIII.  The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder for a period of two (2) years from the date of termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all the Obligations hereunder.
Section 2.11    Evidence 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 Borrower Parties 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 Borrower Parties 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, each of the Borrower Parties shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Credit Note or Term Note, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records; provided that the Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to hold for their benefit each Revolving Credit Note and each Term Note executed and delivered by the Co-Borrowers hereunder except to the extent that a Lender has specifically requested in writing that any such Note be delivered to it.  The Administrative Agent or each Lender (as applicable) 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 Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Credit Lender of participations in Letters of Credit 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 Credit Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
Section 2.12    Payments Generally.
(a)    All payments to be made by any of the Borrower Parties shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by any Borrower Party hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (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 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.


59
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



(b)    If any payment to be made by any Borrower Party 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.
(c)    Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the applicable Borrower Party(ies) or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower Party(ies) or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto.  If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:
(i)    if any Borrower Party failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and
(ii)    if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to any Borrower Party to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing.  If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower Parties, and the Borrower Parties shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon (including any applicable “breakage” charges related thereto) for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Parties may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d)    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 Borrower Parties 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.
(e)    The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its 


60
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



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 or purchase its participation.
(f)    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.
Section 2.13    Sharing of Payments.  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 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 applicable Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein, then 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 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; and
(ii)    the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties 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 2.16, 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 Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
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 (but subject to Section 10.09) 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.
Section 2.14    Maturity Dates.
(a)    Maturity Date for Revolving Credit Facility.  Subject to the provisions of clause (c) of this Section 2.14, the Borrower Parties shall, on January 3, 2023 (the “Maturity Date” with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility), cause the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility (including, without limitation, all outstanding principal and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans and all fees, costs and expenses due and owing under the Loan Documents in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility) to be Fully Satisfied.
(b)    Reserved.  
(c)    Satisfaction of Obligations Upon Acceleration.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other agreement to the contrary, to the extent any of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to 


61
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



the terms hereof (including, without limitation, Section 8.02), the Borrower Parties shall, immediately upon the occurrence of such acceleration, cause such accelerated Obligations to be Fully Satisfied.
Section 2.15    Joint and Several Liability of Borrower Parties.
(a)    Each of the Borrower Parties is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrower Parties and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Borrower Parties to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them under the Loan Documents.
(b)    Each of the Borrower Parties jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrower Parties with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations as to which there is a Co-Borrower, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations as to which there is a Co-Borrower shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrower Parties without preferences or distinction among them.
(c)    If and to the extent that any of the Borrower Parties shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as to which there is a Co-Borrower hereunder as and when due after the expiration of all applicable grace or cure periods or to perform any of such Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrower Parties will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.
(d)    The obligations of each Borrower Party under the provisions of this Section 2.15 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower Party, enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets.
(e)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Co-Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement.  Each Co-Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations hereunder, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower Party in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower Party.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Co-Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.15, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Co-Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.15, it being the intention of each Co-Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Co-Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall not be discharged 


62
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance.  The obligations of each Co-Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender.  The joint and several liability of the Borrower Parties hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(f)    The provisions of this Section 2.15 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any such Person from time to time against any of the Borrower Parties as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against any of the other Borrower Parties or to exhaust any remedies available to it against any of the other Borrower Parties or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations, or to elect any other remedy.  The provisions of this Section 2.15 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations hereunder shall have been paid in full or otherwise indefeasibly Fully Satisfied.  If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrower Parties, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.15 will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.
(g)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, the obligations of each Borrower Party hereunder shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.
(h)    The Borrower, each Co-Borrower and each Guarantor (as applicable) shall have a right of contribution against any Co-Borrower designated as a “primary obligor” with respect to any portion of the Obligations to the extent the Borrower, any such Co-Borrower or Guarantor pays any portion of such Obligations; provided that the Borrower, Co-Borrowers and Guarantors shall have no such right of contribution or any right of subrogation, indemnity or reimbursement against the applicable Co-Borrower for amounts paid in connection with this Section 2.15(h) until such time as all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly Fully Satisfied.
Section 2.16    Cash Collateral.  
(a)    Certain Credit Support Events.  If (i) an L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 8.02(c), or (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall immediately (in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above) or within two (2) Business Days (in all other cases) following any request by the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above, after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower may pay in full the applicable Minimum Collateral Amounts pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above or, in the sole discretion of the applicable L/C Issuer, provide other credit support acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer, in each case, as opposed to providing the required Cash Collateral.


63
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



(b)    Grant of Security Interest.  The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, 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 2.16(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 or the L/C Issuers as herein provided, or that the total applicable amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower 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.  All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in one or more interest bearing Controlled Accounts at Bank of America.  The Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all reasonable and customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.
(c)    Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.17 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, 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 otherwise be provided for herein. 
(d)    Release.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure 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 Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.07(b)(vi))), (ii) upon satisfaction in full of all the Obligations or (iii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuers that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuers may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
Section 2.17    Defaulting 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.  Such 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 the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.01.
(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09 shall be applied at such 


64
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the applicable L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lenders hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.16; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.16; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv). 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 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender and to the extent allocated to the repayment of principal shall not be considered outstanding under this Agreement, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.  Nothing in this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed to be a waiver of any rights of Borrower against a Defaulting Lender.
(iii)    Certain Fees.
(A)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees payable under Sections 2.09(a) and 2.09(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans funded by it, and (2) its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16.
(B)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16.  


65
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



(C)    With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) or (b) or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender to the extent Borrower has not Cash Collateralized such exposure or otherwise provided other credit support as provided herein, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)    Reallocation of Pro Rata Shares to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate amount of any Non-Defaulting Lender’s outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and its participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.  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.
(v)    Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans.  If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days and without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.16. 
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lenders and the L/C Issuers agree in writing that a Lender is no longer 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 at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon such 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 Borrower 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; and provided, 


66
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



further, that, subsequent to the time when each applicable Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender, the Cash Collateral or other credit support provided by the Borrower and such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be released to the applicable party.
Section 2.18    Appointment of Borrower as Agent for Borrower Parties.  Each Borrower Party hereby appoints the Borrower to act as its exclusive agent for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters related to the borrowing and repayment of loans as described in Articles II and III hereof).  Each Borrower Party (in such capacity) acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Borrower may execute such documents on behalf of all the Borrower Parties as the Borrower deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each Borrower Party (in such capacity) shall be bound by and obligated by all of the terms of any such document executed by the Borrower on its behalf, (b) any notice or other communication delivered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder to the Borrower shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower Party and (c) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall accept (and shall be permitted to rely on) any document or agreement executed by the Borrower on behalf of the Borrower Parties (or any of them).  Except as noted herein with respect to requests for Borrowings or the making of payments, the Borrower Parties must act through the Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein (except as noted herein with respect to requests for Borrowings or the making of payments), to the extent any provision in this Agreement requires any Borrower Party to interact in any manner with the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (other than through such Borrower Party’s execution and delivery of certain documents, agreements or instruments), such Borrower Party shall do so through the Borrower.
Section 2.19    Tax Driven Lease Transactions.  Subject to the Loan Parties’ compliance with Section 7.14 of this Agreement, the Lenders agree that, for so long as any real property asset of the Combined Parties is subject to a Tax Driven Lease Transaction, such property shall be treated as being owned in fee (despite that the ownership interest is a leasehold interest) by the applicable Combined Parties for all purposes under this Agreement; provided, however, that, in any calculations under this Agreement related to a Tax Driven Lease Transaction asset owned by a Combined Party that is not Wholly-Owned by the Parent, such calculations shall only give credit for the share of such Tax Driven Lease Transaction asset owned by the Parent, the Borrower or other Combined Parties.   Furthermore, for so long as net cash received (whether in the form of interest on bonds or otherwise) in connection with any Tax Driven Lease Transaction equals the net cash paid (whether in the form of rent or otherwise) under the applicable Tax Driven Lease Transaction Documents, such amounts shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.  
ARTICLE III     
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
Section 3.01    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.  
(i)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws.  If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.


67
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



(ii)    If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both 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 the Code or applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party 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 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(iii)    If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party 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 3.01) the applicable Recipient 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 Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent has made payment thereof, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)    Tax Indemnifications.  
(i)    Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than any penalties, interest or other charges that are due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Recipient as determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), provided that such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an L/C 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 Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or an L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below.


68
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



(ii)    Each Lender and each L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender and each L/C 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 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).  
(d)    Evidence of Payments.  Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e)    Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. 
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date and at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.  
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under 


69
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(II)    executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(III)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or
(IV)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may 


70
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting and document requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Laws and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Laws (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement, and for purposes of this Section 3.01, “Laws” shall include FATCA.  For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the date of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat this Agreement as not qualifying as a "grandfathered obligation" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
(iii)    Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(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 Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be.  If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority other than any penalties, interest or other charges that are due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Recipient requiring such payment as determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.


71

Exhibit 10(n)



(g)    Survival.  Subject to Section 3.07, each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 
Section 3.02    Illegality.  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 perform any of its obligations hereunder or to make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Credit Extension or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) 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 Eurodollar Rate 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 Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower Parties shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate 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 Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate 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 the Eurodollar Rate.  Upon any such conversion, the Borrower Parties shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.  Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. 
Section 3.03    Inability to Determine Rates.  If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or a request for a LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loan, (a) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loan, as applicable, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or determining the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate with respect to a proposed LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to clause (a)(i) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason  the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate with respect to a proposed LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan and LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loan, as applicable, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and 


72
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Required Lenders revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a)(i) of this Section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans,  in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this Section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.
Section 3.04    Increased Cost; Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves.
(a)    Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
(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 (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or any L/C Issuer; 
(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or any L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrower 


73
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



will (within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of any such request) pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C 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 Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C 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 Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time  the Borrower will (within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of a request from a Lender or L/C Issuer) pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, an explanation thereof and reasonable supporting information or evidence with respect thereto shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error so long as such requests for compensation are made within ninety (90) days of incurrence.  Any Person seeking compensation under this Article III shall, in connection with any such claim, provide both the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with a copy of the certificate and supporting information/evidence referenced in the previous sentence.  In determining the compensation amount claimed, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or such L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the ninety (90) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 3.05    Compensation for Losses.  Within fifteen (15) days of demand by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower Parties 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); or


74
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



(b)    any failure by the Borrower Parties (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 Borrower; or
(c)    any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.16;
including 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.  The Borrower Parties shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower Parties to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
Section 3.06    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office.  Each Lender may make any Credit Extension to the Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender or such L/C 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 judgment of such Lender or such L/C 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 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 Issuer, as the case may be.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.06(a) in a way that eliminates the additional cost, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.16.
Section 3.07    Survival.  All of the Borrower Parties’ obligations under this Article III shall survive for a period of ninety (90) days following the date on which such obligations arise and shall, to the extent such ninety (90) day period has not run prior to the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, survive such termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder for the remainder of such ninety (90) day period.
Section 3.08    LIBOR Successor Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall 


75
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(a)    adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or 
(b)    the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or
(c)    syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR, 
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice , as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.  
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans, Interest Periods or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans), and (ii) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans, Interest Periods or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) in the amount specified therein.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.
As used above in this Section 3.08: 
“LIBOR Screen Rate” means the LIBOR quote on the applicable screen page the Administrative Agent designates to determine LIBOR (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time).

“LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the Borrower).

(A)    the materials required to be delivered pursuant to subclauses (i) and (ii) above may be delivered to the Administrative Agent concurrently with the materials causing the applicable Guarantor to initially qualify as a Guarantor pursuant to clause (a) above (it being understood that no Person may become a Co-Borrower unless it is first (or simultaneously becomes) a Guarantor and no Guarantor can become a Co-Borrower until such materials have been delivered);
(B)    the Administrative Agent shall have the right to approve or reject the qualification of any proposed Co-Borrower subject to the following criteria:
(1)    the Administrative Agent shall have the right to reject the qualification of any proposed Co-Borrower within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the materials required above to the extent that any such materials delivered in connection with the qualification thereof are not, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, complete, accurate or otherwise sufficient to cause such proposed Co-Borrower to be legally bound as a Borrower Party hereunder and shall, in connection with any rejection of a proposed Co-Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a written explanation of the grounds for such rejection; and
(2)    in the absence of any rejection by the Administrative Agent pursuant to item (1) above, the qualification of the proposed Co-Borrower shall be effective as of the date occurring six (6) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of all materials required to be delivered for qualification of a Co-Borrower pursuant to this clause (b); provided that, if the Administrative Agent, for any reason, ultimately rejects the qualification of a proposed Co-Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.12(b), the Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon the request of the Borrower, return to the Borrower the materials delivered pursuant to items (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 6.12(b); and
(C)    any Guarantor designated from time to time as a Co-Borrower hereunder shall, at all times (until released as a Co-Borrower hereunder) remain liable for all of the outstanding Obligations as a Co-Borrower, and, until released as a Guarantor, shall remain liable for all of the outstanding Obligations as a Guarantor; provided that release of a Person as a Co-Borrower hereunder shall not constitute the release of such Person as a Guarantor; and
(D)    no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing at such time as a Guarantor is designated as a Co-Borrower hereunder and no Event of Default would result from such designation.

(c)    Provide to the Administrative Agent, to the extent the Borrower intends to cause the release of any Co-Borrower from its qualification as a Co-Borrower hereunder (i) a written request for the release of the applicable Co-Borrower and (ii) a certification by the Borrower and such Co-Borrower that the applicable Co-Borrower shall remain bound by the terms and conditions of its Guarantor Joinder Agreement as a Guarantor of the Facilities, and that, following its release as a Co-Borrower hereunder, it will remain liable as a Guarantor for all of the Obligations pursuant to the terms of Article XI hereof and that such Co-Borrower is not the “primary obligor” with respect to any then-outstanding Loans (or that such Loans are being repaid in connection with such requested release); provided that (A) any such request for release shall be effective as of the Business Day following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the materials required pursuant to this clause (c); (B) the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders shall, upon the release of any Person as a Co-Borrower hereunder, return to the Borrower any Notes executed by the applicable Co-Borrower; (C) any Co-Borrower which is released as a Co-Borrower hereunder shall, immediately upon such release, resume its status as a Guarantor hereunder and remain subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein with respect to the Guarantors (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article XI hereof), and (D) the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, provide evidence of the release of any Co-Borrower in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower to the extent such release is permitted pursuant to this clause (c).

ARTICLE IX     
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 9.01    Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.
(a)    Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be 


98
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b)    Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article IX and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.
Section 9.02    Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 9.03    Liability of Administrative Agent.  No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.
Section 9.04    Reliance by Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent 


99
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
(b)    For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.
Section 9.05    Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that, unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
Section 9.06    Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.  Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has 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 any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower Parties and the other Loan Parties hereunder.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties and the other Loan Parties.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.
Section 9.07    Indemnification of Administrative Agent.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any 


100
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties.  The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.
Section 9.08    Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders.  The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.  With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.
Section 9.09    Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may be removed at the written direction of the Required Lenders to the extent the Administrative Agent is shown to be grossly negligent in the performance of its material obligations and/or duties hereunder or to have engaged in willful misconduct in the performance of such obligations and/or duties.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower; provided that any such resignation by or removal of Bank of America shall also constitute its resignation or removal (as applicable) as an L/C Issuer and a Swing Line Lender.  If the Administrative Agent resigns or is otherwise removed under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders (and, in the case of a removal of the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender and the respective terms “Administrative Agent,” “L/C Issuer” and “Swing Line Lender” shall mean such successor administrative agent, Letter of Credit issuer and swing line lender, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated and the retiring L/C Issuer’s and Swing Line Lender’s rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without 


101
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender or any other Lender, other than the obligation of the successor L/C Issuer to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.  After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal (as applicable) hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender under this Agreement.  If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation or its removal by the Lenders, the retiring/removed Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
Section 9.10    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C 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 the Borrower Parties) 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 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 and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), Section 2.09 and Section 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 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, 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 any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
Section 9.11    Guaranty/Borrower Party Matters.  The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if:
(a)    (i) such Person is the subject of or enters into a Disposition pursuant to Section 7.05(e) hereof, (ii) the Administrative Agent receives a Compliance Certificate with respect to such Disposition, 


102

(b)    (i) such Person enters into mortgage Indebtedness that is permitted by Section 7.01(a) hereof and the terms of such mortgage Indebtedness prohibit such Person from being a Guarantor hereunder, (ii) the Administrative Agent receives a Compliance Certificate with respect to such mortgage Indebtedness demonstrating compliance with the requirements of Section 7.01(a)(i) hereof and (iii) the asset being subject to such mortgage Indebtedness is the only asset of the applicable Guarantor;
(c)    such Person otherwise ceases to be a Consolidated Entity as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; 
(d)    such Guarantor, following any transaction not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, ceases to hold any material assets; or
(e)    the Borrower obtains a Debt Rating of at least BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moody’s and provides the Administrative Agent written evidence (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) thereof in accordance with the terms of Section 11.08.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, consent to the release of any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise provide evidence of such release reasonably acceptable to the Borrower to the extent such release is permitted pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) above.
The Lenders further irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to qualify, reject the qualification of and permit the release of Co-Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.12(b) and (c) hereof.

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, any L/C Issuer 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 and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its applicable Pro Rata Share.  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 Eligible 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, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Upon request and return of a Note being replaced, cancelled or marked replaced, the Borrower and Co-Borrowers (at their expense), as applicable, shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender (provided that the Co-Borrowers shall deliver their Revolving Credit Notes to the Administrative Agent absent a specific request by a Lender for its respective Revolving Credit Note).  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.
(c)    Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower Parties (and such agency being only for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower Parties, 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.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower 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 Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or 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 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 Borrower Parties, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the other 


113

Exhibit 10(n)



Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.05 without regard to the existence of any participation.
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 that would (i) postpone any date upon which any payment of money is scheduled to be paid to such Participant, (ii) reduce the principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Participant, or (iii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty to which it is a party.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person 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.
(e)    Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time without need for any consent pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; 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.
(f)    Electronic Execution of Assignments.  The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Loan Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

(g)    Registration as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America or SunTrust, as applicable, assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America or SunTrust, as applicable, may, (i) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as a Swing Line Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Credit Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America or SunTrust, as applicable, as an L/C Issuer or as a Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.  If JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America or SunTrust, as applicable, resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all applicable Letters of Credit issued by it outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Revolving Credit Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).  If JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America or SunTrust, as applicable, resigns as a Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a 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 Revolving Credit Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding its Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).
Section 10.08    Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for themselves, their Affiliates and Agent Related Persons, agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, its auditors and its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, attorneys, advisors and representatives who need to know the Information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (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) and who will use such Information only in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Related Parties (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, provided that, prior to making any such disclosure (other than to a banking regulator or auditor), such Person shall endeavor in the ordinary course of business to promptly notify the Borrower in writing so that the Borrower may seek an appropriate protective order (notwithstanding the foregoing, should such Person fail to notify Borrower, such person shall have no liability to Borrower or any other Loan Party); (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Loan Parties; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; or (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization having jurisdiction over such Lender.  In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the 


115
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of Parent’s Consolidated Entities relating to the Borrower or any Combined Party or Investment Entity or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis as described above prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Combined Party or Investment Entity; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Combined Party after the date hereof, except as expressly noted thereon, all financial information or other information relating to any proposed transactions of the Borrower, any Combined Party, any Investment Entity or any of the Parent’s Affiliates shall be considered 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.
Section 10.09    Set-off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates that is a party to a Swap Contract with a Loan Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties, and each Loan Party hereby grants a security interest in all such deposits and indebtedness to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or 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 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers 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.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 10.10    Interest 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 Borrower Parties.  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.

Section 10.11    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 10.12    Integration.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement.  Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
Section 10.13    Survival 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 (unless such notice has been received from the Borrower in writing), 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 shall remain outstanding.
Section 10.14    Severability.  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 10.14, 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 Issuer or any Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
Section 10.15    Reserved.  
Section 10.16    Replacement of Lenders.  If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto , then the Borrower may, at its 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 10.07), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 
(a)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.07(b);


117
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



(b)    subject to Section 2.17, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C 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 Borrower (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)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
(e)    in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 10.17    Governing Law.
(a)    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE; PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

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), the Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, and the Lenders on the other hand, and the Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent and each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors (other than acting as Administrative Agent for the Lenders hereunder) or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any other Loan Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any Arranger has advised or is currently advising the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to the 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; (iv) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has provided or will provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower Party, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower Party in accordance with the Act.

ARTICLE XI     
GUARANTY
Section 11.01    The Guaranty.  Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender, each Affiliate of a Lender that enters into a Swap Contract with respect to the Loans, and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due after the expiration of all applicable grace or cure periods (whether at stated 


120
95541499_13


Exhibit 10(n)



maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof.  The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due after the expiration of all applicable grace or cure periods (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever (except for such notices as may be specifically required by the terms of the Loan Documents), and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due after the expiration of all applicable grace or cure periods (whether as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents or Swap Contracts entered into in connection with the Loans: (a) the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law; and (b) the Obligations being guaranteed by each Guarantor pursuant to this Article XI shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.
Section 11.02    Obligations Unconditional.  The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 11.01 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or Swap Contracts entered into in connection with the Loans, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance (other than payment) whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 11.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.  Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against any Borrower Party or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article XI until such time as the Obligations have been Fully Satisfied.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(e)    any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).
With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever except as required by the Loan Documents, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract entered into in connection with the Loans between any Consolidated Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents or such Swap Contracts, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.
Section 11.03    Reinstatement.  The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article XI shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within fifteen (15) days of demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
Section 11.04    Certain Additional Waivers.  Each Guarantor further agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 11.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 11.06.  Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives the benefits of O.C.G.A. Section 10-7-24.
Section 11.05    Remedies.  The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 8.02) for purposes of Section 11.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 11.01.  The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that to the extent their obligations hereunder become secured, the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms of the applicable security documents.
Section 11.06    Rights of Contribution and Subrogation.  The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have a right of contribution, subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification from each other Loan Party in accordance with applicable Law.  Such contribution, subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been indefeasibly Fully Satisfied, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution, subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification rights until the Obligations have been indefeasibly Fully Satisfied.

(a)    So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, the obligations of the Guarantors set forth in this Article XI shall terminate (other than as to obligations that are stated to survive such termination) automatically and without further action if the Parent obtains a Debt Rating of at least BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moody’s and Borrower provides the Administrative Agent with written evidence (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) thereof.  
(b)    At such time as the Borrower delivers satisfactory evidence of Parent's Debt Rating pursuant to Section 11.08(a), the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall execute a release of the Guarantors from their obligations under this Agreement pursuant to the terms of such Section.
