Amounts and Terms of the Advances
2.1  Advances.  
(a)Obligation to Make Advances.  Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances in U.S. dollars to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment.  
(b)Amount of Advances.  Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(c)Type of Advances.  Each Borrowing shall consist of Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments.  Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, the Borrowers may from time to time borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.12, and reborrow under this Section 2.1 and Section 2.2.
2.2  Making Advances.  
(a)Notice of Borrowing.  Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given by a Borrower to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing and on the third U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a SOFR Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”).  Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit B, specifying the requested 
(i)date of such Borrowing, 
(ii)Type of Advances constituting such Borrowing, and
(iii)aggregate amount of such Borrowing.  
Every Notice of Borrowing given by a Subsidiary Borrower must be countersigned by an authorized representative of TBC, in order to evidence the consent of TBC, in its sole discretion, to that proposed Borrowing.  Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly give notice to each Lender thereof.
(b)Funding Advances.  Each Lender shall, before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.  After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 5, the Agent will make such funds available to the relevant Borrower at an account specified by such Borrower.
(c)Irrevocable Notice.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding.  In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be composed of SOFR Advances, the Borrower requesting such Borrowing shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender on account of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified for such Borrowing in such Notice of Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article 5, including, without limitation, any loss (but excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund 
    15








the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(d)Lender’s Ratable Portion.  Unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.2 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the requesting Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that a Lender has not so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender and such Borrower shall severally repay to the Agent forthwith on demand an amount that in the aggregate equals such corresponding amount together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available by the Agent to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at 
(i)in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances constituting such Borrowing, and 
(ii)in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate.  
If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(e)Independent Lender Obligations.  The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
2.3  Conversion to Term Loans, Repayment.  The Borrowers shall, subject to the next succeeding sentence, repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding.

If this Term Loan Conversion Option is exercised, then, on the Termination Date, immediately prior to the time when the unpaid principal amount of the Advances would otherwise be due, the Advances shall automatically convert into Term Loans which the respective Borrowers shall repay to the Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders on the Maturity Date.  The amounts so converted shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as Advances except that after the Termination Date:
(i)the Borrowers may not make any additional borrowings;
(ii)any amounts paid or prepaid may not be reborrowed;

there is an increase in the cost incurred by a Lender in agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Advance then or at any time thereafter outstanding (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.13 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.14 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office (or any political subdivision thereof) and (iii) FATCA), then TBC shall from time to time, upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender such amounts as are required to compensate such Lender for such increased cost, provided that such Lender shall exercise reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to minimize any such increased cost and provided further that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 90th day before the date of any such demand, unless such introduction, change, compliance or request shall have retroactive effect to a date prior to such 90th day.  A certificate as to the amount of such increase in cost, submitted to the relevant Borrowers and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes under this Section 2.13(a), absent manifest error.
(b)Increased Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guidelines or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) which is enacted, adopted or issued at any time and from time to time after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender (or any corporation controlling such Lender) and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s Commitment and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s Commitment, provided that such Lender shall exercise reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to minimize any such compensation payable by the Borrowers hereunder and provided further that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 90th day before the date of any such demand, unless such introduction, change, compliance or request shall have retroactive effect to a date prior to such 90th day.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the relevant Borrowers and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c)Borrower Rights Upon Cost Increases.  Upon receipt of notice from any Lender claiming compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 or Section 2.14 and as long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, TBC shall have the right, on or before the 30th day after the date of receipt of any such notice,
(i)to arrange for one or more Lenders or other commercial banks to assume the Commitment of such Lender; subject, however, to payment to the Agent by the assignor or the assignee of a processing and recording fee of $3,500, in the event the assuming lender is not a Lender; or 
(ii)to arrange for the Commitment of such Lender to be terminated and all Advances owed to such Lender to be prepaid; 
and, in either case, subject to payment in full of all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts payable under this Agreement and then owing to such Lender immediately prior to the assignment or termination of the Commitment of such Lender.
    20








(d)For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.13 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning increased costs and capital adequacy or liquidity (i) issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
2.14  Taxes.
(a)Exclusion and Inclusion of Taxes.  Any and all payments by each Borrower hereunder or with respect to any Advances or under any Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.16, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof)  by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) any United States withholding tax imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or with respect to any Advances or under any Notes, hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect to any sum payable hereunder or with respect to any Advances or under any Note to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)Payment of Other Taxes.  In addition, each Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges, or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or with respect to any Advances and under any Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Notes (“Other Taxes”).
(c)Indemnification as to Taxes.  Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.14), imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.
(d)Evidence of or Exemption from Taxes.  Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower which paid such Taxes shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.  In the case of any payment hereunder or with respect to the Advances or under any Notes by or on behalf of any Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of any Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the applicable Borrower determines that no taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel or other supporting documentation acceptable to the Agent stating 
    21








that such payment is exempt from Taxes.  For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(e)Status of Lenders.  For purposes of this Section 2.14(e), the term “Lender” includes the Agent. 
(i)Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement (in the case of each Lender listed in Schedule I), and from the date on which any other Lender becomes a party hereto (in the case of each other Lender), and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by TBC (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Agent and TBC with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY, or W-8EC1, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, to establish that such Lender is not subject to, or is entitled to a reduced rate of, United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or with respect to any Advances or any Notes.  If the forms provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a lower rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lower rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the date on which a Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection 2.14(a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date.  If any form or document referred to in this subsection 2.14(e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY, or W-8EC1, that the Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the relevant Borrowers and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document confidential information.
(ii)Each Lender that is a United States person shall deliver to TBC and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of TBC or the Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service forms W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax.
(iii)If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to TBC, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested in writing by TBC, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by TBC as may be necessary for each Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, 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.  For purposes of this Section 2.14(e)(iii) FATCA shall include any Treasury regulations or interpretations thereof.
    22








(f)Lender Failure to Provide IRS Forms.  For any period with respect to which any Lender has failed to provide TBC with the appropriate form described in subsection 2.14(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection 2.14(e)), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, TBC shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.
(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
2.15  Illegality.  If any Lender shall notify the Agent that either 
(a)there is any introduction of, or change in or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation that in the opinion of counsel for such Lender in the relevant jurisdiction makes it unlawful, or 
(b)any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful 
for such Lender to continue to fund or maintain any SOFR Advances or to perform its obligations hereunder with respect to SOFR Advances hereunder, then, upon the issuance of such opinion of counsel or such assertion by a central bank or other governmental authority, the Agent shall give notice of such opinion or assertion to the Borrowers (accompanied by such opinion, if applicable).  The Borrowers shall forthwith (or at the end of the then-current Interest Period if the SOFR Advances may be lawfully maintained as SOFR Advances until then) either 
(i)prepay in full all SOFR Advances made by such Lender, with accrued interest thereon or 
(ii)Convert each such SOFR Advance made by such Lender into a Base Rate Advance.
Upon such prepayment or Conversion, the obligation of such Lender to make SOFR Advances, or to Convert Advances into SOFR Advances, shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrowers that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exists.
2.16  Payments and Computations.
(a)Time and Distribution of Payments.  The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and with respect to any Advances or under any Notes, without counterclaim or setoff, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same day funds.  The Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13, 
    23








2.14, 2.15 or 2.19) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  From and after the effective date of an assignment pursuant to Section 2.20, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and with respect to any Advances or under any Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such assignment shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for the periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b)Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest based on clause (a) of the definition of Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.  All computations of interest based on SOFR, the Federal Funds Rate or clause (c) of the definition of Base Rate and of Facility Fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable.  Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c)Payment Due Dates.  Whenever any payment hereunder or with respect to any Advances or under any Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fee, as the case may be, but not later than the Termination Date or, if the Term Loan Conversion Option has been exercised, the Maturity Date; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of SOFR Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(d)Presumption of Borrower Payment.  Unless the Agent receives notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent that such Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
2.17  Sharing of Payments, Etc. 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 its Advances or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and such other obligations 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 Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that:
(i)if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
    24








(ii)the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Borrower 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), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances or participations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
Each Borrower 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 Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
2.18  Evidence of Debt.  
(a)Lender Records; If Notes Required.  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Advances.  Each Borrower shall, upon notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender.
(b)Record of Borrowings, Payables and Payments.  The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 2.20(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded 
(i)the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder to each Borrower, the Type of Advances constituting such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, 
(ii)the terms of each assignment pursuant to Section 2.20, 
(iii)the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and 
(iv)the amount of any sum received by the Agent from a Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)Evidence of Payment Obligations.  Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from a Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.
    25








2.19  Alteration of Commitments and Addition of Lenders.  
(a)Alter Lender Commitment.  By a written agreement executed only by TBC, the Agent and the affected Lender and any non-party lender involved,
(i)the Commitment of such affected Lender may be increased to the amount set forth in such agreement;
(ii)such non-party lender may be added as a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such agreement, provided that such lender agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and
(iii)the unused portion of the Commitment of such affected Lender may be reduced or terminated and the Advances owing to such Lender may be prepaid in whole or in part, all as set forth in such agreement.
(b)Conditions to Alteration.  The Agent may execute any such agreement without the prior consent of any Lender other than the Lender affected, provided, however, that if at the time the Agent proposes to execute such agreement either (A) TBC’s long-term senior unsecured debt is rated by any two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, lower than BBB- by S&P, lower than Baa3 by Moody’s or lower than BBB- by Fitch or (B) a Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Agent shall not execute any such agreement unless it has first obtained the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders, and provided further that the Agent shall not execute any such agreement without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders if such agreement would increase the total of the Commitments to an amount in excess of $3,060,000,000 or, pursuant to Section 2.19(c), $4,670,000,000.  
(c)Increase Total Commitment.  The Company has the right to increase the total of the Commitments through a Request for Alteration, in minimum increments of $5,000,000, up to a maximum aggregate of Commitments of $4,670,000,000, provided that, in addition to the requirements specified in Section 2.19(b), at the time of and after giving effect to an increase, TBC’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit-enhanced debt ratings from any two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch are better than or equal to BBB-, Baa3 and BBB-, respectively.  The Company may offer the proposed increase (the “Proposed Increased Commitment”) to such Lender(s) or third party financial institutions acceptable to the Agent (“New Lenders”) as the Company may select, provided that 
(i)such selected Lender(s) and such New Lender(s) shall have the right, but no obligation, to increase (or establish) its Commitment, by giving notice thereof to the Agent, to all or a portion of the Proposed Increased Commitment, allocations to be at the sole discretion of the Company, and 
(ii)that the minimum commitment of each New Lender equals or exceeds $25,000,000.
(d)Request for Alteration.  The Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such agreement becoming effective.  All requests for Lender consent under the provisions of this Section 2.19 shall specify the date upon which any such increase, addition, reduction, termination, or prepayment shall become effective (the “Effective Date”) and shall be made by means of a Request for Alteration substantially in the form as set forth in Exhibit C.  On the Effective Date on which the Commitment of any Lender is increased, decreased, terminated or created or on which prepayment is made, all as described in such Request for Alteration, the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, shall make available to the Agent not later than 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, in same day funds, the amount, if any, which may be required (and the Agent shall distribute such funds received by it to the Borrowers or to such Lenders, as the case may be) so that at the close of business 
    26








on such date the sum of the Advances of each Lender then outstanding shall be in the same proportion to the total of the Advances of all the Lenders then outstanding as the Commitment of such Lender is to the total of the Commitments.  The Agent shall give each Lender notice of the amount to be made available by, or to be distributed to, such Lender at least 3 Business Days before such payment is made.
2.20  Assignments; Sales of Participations and Other Interests in Advances.
(a)Assignment of Lender Obligations.  From time to time each Lender may, with the prior written consent of TBC (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and subject to the qualifications set forth below, assign to one or more Lenders or an Eligible Assignee all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it) and will, at any time, if arranged by the Company pursuant to clause (i)(A) below upon at least 30 days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, all of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it); subject to the following:
(i)If such Lender notifies TBC and the Agent of its intent to request the consent of TBC to an assignment, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, TBC shall have the right, for 30 days after receipt of such notice or notice from the Agent that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in its sole discretion either (A) to arrange for one or more Eligible Assignees to accept such assignment or, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, an assignment of all of such Lender’s Advances and Commitment (a “Required Assignment”) or (B) other than in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to arrange for the rights and obligations of such Lender (including, without limitation, such Lender’s Commitment), and the total Commitments, to be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Commitment proposed to be assigned and, in connection with such reduction, to prepay that portion of the Advances owing to such Lender which it proposes to assign; 
(ii)If TBC fails to notify such Lender within 30 days of TBC’s receipt of such Lender’s request for consent to assignment, the Borrowers shall be deemed to consent to the proposed assignment; 
(iii)Any such assignment shall not require any Borrower to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify the interests in the Advances under the blue sky laws of any state and the assigning Lender shall otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws applicable to such assignment;
(iv)Unless TBC consents, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to any such assignment (determined as of the date of the assignment) shall either (A) equal 50% of all such rights and obligations (or 100% in the case of a Required Assignment) or (B) not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; 
(v)Unless either (x) TBC consents or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the aggregate amount of the Commitment assigned pursuant to all such assignments of such Lender (after giving effect to such assignment) shall in no event exceed 50% (except in the case of a Required Assignment) of all such Lender’s Commitment (as set forth in Schedule I, in the case of each Lender that is a party hereto as of October 25, 2021, or as set forth in the Register as the aggregate Commitment assigned to such Lender pursuant to one or more assignments, in the case of any assignee); 
    27








(vi)No Lender shall be obligated to make a Required Assignment unless such Lender has received payments in an aggregate amount at least equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Advances being assigned, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement (including without limitation Section 2.12(c), provided that such Lender shall receive its pro rata share of the Facility Fee on the next date on which the Facility Fee is payable); and
(vii)In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of TBC, the applicable pro rata share of Advances 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 Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances with its ratable portion.  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 and except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 8.16, 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.  
(b)Effect of Lender Assignment.  From and after the effective date of any assignment pursuant to Section 2.20(a), (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such assignment, it shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.19 or 8.3 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).  
(c)Security Interest; Assignment to Lender Affiliate.  Notwithstanding Section 2.20(a) or any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may, upon prior or contemporaneous notice to TBC and the Agent, at any time (i) create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Notes held by it, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other governmental agency or instrumentality, and (ii) assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note held by it, if any) to an Affiliate of such Lender unless the result of such an assignment would be to increase the cost to any Borrowers of requesting, borrowing, continuing, maintaining, paying or converting any Advances.
(d)Agent’s Register.  The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.2 a copy of each assignment delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the 
    28








Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances of each Borrower owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each entity whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Upon receipt by the Agent from the assigning Lender of an assignment in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with evidence of each Advance subject to such assignment, an Administrative Questionnaire for such assignee and a processing and recording fee of $3,500 (payable by either the assignor or the assignee), the Agent shall, if such assignment is a Required Assignment or has been consented to by TBC to the extent required by Section 2.20(a) or has been effected pursuant to Section 2.21(c), (i) accept such assignment, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to TBC.  
(e)Lender Sale of Participations.  Each Lender may sell participations in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Notes held by it, if any) to one or more Affiliates of such Lender or to one or more other financial institutions; provided, however, that
(i)any such participation shall not require any Borrowers to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify any interests in the Advances or any Notes under the blue sky laws of any state and the Lender selling or granting such participation shall otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws applicable to such transaction, 
(ii)no purchaser of such a participation shall be considered to be a “Lender” for any purpose under the Agreement, 
(iii)such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrowers) shall remain unchanged, 
(iv)such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, 
(v)such Lender shall remain the holder of any Notes issued with respect to its Advances for all purposes of this Agreement, 
(vi)the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,  
(vii)no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, and
(viii)such Lender 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 purchaser of such a participation and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each such Person’s interest in 
    29








its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Notes held by it, if any) (the “Participant Register”); provided that such Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Person or any information relating to a Person's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) 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.  The Borrower agrees that each purchaser of such a participation shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(e) shall be delivered to the Lender selling the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 2.20(a).
(f)Confidential Borrower Information.  Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 2.20, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrowers furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure of Confidential Information, such Lender shall obtain the written consent of the Borrowers, and the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any such Confidential Information received by it from such Lender except as disclosure may be required or appropriate to governmental authorities, pursuant to legal process, or by law or governmental regulation or authority.
2.21  Extension of Termination Date.  
(a)Extension Request.  TBC may, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiary Borrowers, by written notice to the Agent in the form of Exhibit E (each such notice being an “Extension Request”) given no earlier than 60 days and no later than 45 days prior to the then applicable Termination Date, request that the then applicable Termination Date be extended to a date 364 days after the then applicable Termination Date; provided, however, that TBC shall not have exercised the Term Loan Conversion Option for Advances outstanding on such Termination Date prior to such time.  Such extension shall be effective with respect to each Lender which, by a written notice in the form of Exhibit F (a “Continuation Notice”) to TBC and the Agent given no earlier than 45 days and no later than 28 days (unless otherwise agreed by TBC and the Agent) prior to the then applicable Termination Date, consents, in its sole discretion, to such extension (each Lender giving a Continuation Notice being referred to sometimes as a “Continuing Lender” and each Lender other than a Continuing Lender being a “Non-Extending Lender”), provided, however, that such extension shall be effective only if the aggregate Commitments of the Continuing Lenders, together with the Commitments of the Replacement Lenders, are greater than 50% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on the date of the Extension Request.  No Lender shall have any obligation to consent to any such extension of the Termination Date.  The Agent shall notify each Lender of the receipt of an Extension Request within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof.  The Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders no later than 15 days prior to the then applicable Termination Date whether the Agent has received Continuation Notices from Lenders holding at least 50% of the aggregate Commitments on the date of the Extension Request.
    30








(b)Non-Extending Lenders.  The Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall terminate at the close of business on the Termination Date in effect prior to the delivery of such Extension Request without giving any effect to such proposed extension, and on such Termination Date TBC shall take one of the following three actions:
(i)Replace the Non-Extending Lenders pursuant to Section 2.21(c); or
(ii)Pay or cause to be paid to the Agent, for the account of the Non-Extending Lenders, an amount equal to the Non-Extending Lenders’ Advances, together with accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon and all other amounts then payable hereunder to the Non-Extending Lenders; or
(iii)By giving notice to the Agent no later than three days prior to the Termination Date in effect prior to the delivery of such Extension Request, elect not to extend the Termination Date beyond the then applicable Termination Date, and in this event the Borrowers may in their sole discretion repay any amount of the Advances then outstanding or exercise the Term Loan Conversion Option with respect to the Advances outstanding on the Termination Date in accordance with Section 2.3.
(c)Replacement Lenders.  A Non-Extending Lender shall be obligated, at the request of TBC, to assign at any time prior to the close of business on the Termination Date applicable to such Non-Extending Lender all of its rights (other than rights that would survive the termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3) and obligations hereunder to one or more Lenders or other commercial banks nominated by TBC and willing to become Lenders in place of such Non-Extending Lender (the “Replacement Lenders”).  In order to qualify as a Replacement Lender, a Lender or lender must satisfy all of the requirements of this Agreement (including without limitation the terms of Section 2.20 relating to Required Assignments).  Such obligation of each Non-Extending Lenders is subject to such Non-Extending Lender’s receiving (i) payment in full from the Replacement Lenders of the principal amount of all Advances owing to such Non-Extending Lender immediately prior to an assignment to the Replacement Lenders and (ii) payment in full from the relevant Borrowers of all accrued interest and fees and other amounts payable hereunder and then owing to such Non-Extending Lender immediately prior to the assignment to the Replacement Lenders.  Upon such assignment, the Non-Extending Lender shall no longer be a Lender, such Replacement Lender shall become a Continuing Lender, and the Agent shall make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect the foregoing.
2.22  Subsidiary Borrowers.  
(a)Subsidiary Borrower Designation.  TBC may at any time, and from time to time, by delivery to the Agent of a Borrower Subsidiary Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D, duly executed by TBC and the respective Subsidiary, designate such Subsidiary as a “Subsidiary Borrower” for purposes of this Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall thereupon become a “Subsidiary Borrower” for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder; provided that any designation of a Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America shall be made only upon 30 days prior notice to the Agent.  The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each such designation by TBC and the identity of the designated Subsidiary.  As soon as possible and in any event within 10 Business Days after notice of the designation of a Subsidiary Borrower that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, any Lender that may not legally lend to such Subsidiary Borrower (a “Protesting Lender”) shall so notify TBC and the Agent in writing.  With 
    31








respect to each Protesting Lender, TBC shall, effective on or before the date that such Subsidiary Borrower shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either:
(i)arrange for one or more Lenders or other commercial banks to assume the Commitment of such Protesting Lender; subject, however, to payment to the Agent by the assignor or the assignee of a processing and recording fee of $3,500, in the event the assuming lender is not a Lender; or 
(ii)arrange for the Commitment of such Protesting Lender to be terminated and all Advances owed to such Lender to be prepaid; 
subject, in either case, to payment in full of all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees, commissions and other amounts payable under this Agreement and then owing to such Lender immediately prior to the assignment or termination of the Commitment of such Lender.
If the Company shall designate as a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, any Lender may, with notice to the Agent and the Company, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such Subsidiary Borrower.
(b)TBC Consent to Subsidiary Borrower Borrowings and Notices.  No Advances shall be made to a Subsidiary Borrower, and no Conversion of any Advances at the request of a Subsidiary Borrower shall be effective, without, in each and every instance, the prior consent of TBC, in its sole discretion, which shall be evidenced by the countersignature of TBC to the relevant Notice of Borrowing or notice of Conversion.  In addition, no notices which are to be delivered by a Borrower hereunder shall be effective, with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower, unless the notice is countersigned by TBC.
(c)Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event.  The occurrence of any of the following events with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower shall constitute a “Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event” with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower:
(i)such Subsidiary Borrower ceases to be a Subsidiary;
(ii)such Subsidiary Borrower is liquidated or dissolved;
(iii)such Subsidiary Borrower fails to preserve and maintain its existence;
(iv)such Subsidiary Borrower merges or consolidates with or into another Person, or conveys, transfers, leases, or otherwise disposes of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to any Person (except that a Subsidiary Borrower may merge into or dispose of assets to another Borrower);
(v)any of the “Events of Default” described in Section 6.1(a) through (f) occurs to or with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower as if such Subsidiary Borrower were “TBC”; or
(vi)the Guaranty with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower ceases, for any reason, to be valid and binding on TBC or TBC so states in writing.
(d)Terminated Subsidiary Borrower.  Upon the occurrence of a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower, such Subsidiary Borrower (a “Terminated Subsidiary Borrower”) shall cease to be a Borrower for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer be 
    32








entitled to request or borrow Advances hereunder.  All outstanding Advances of a Terminated Subsidiary Borrower shall be automatically due and payable as of the date on which the Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event of such Terminated Subsidiary Borrower occurred, together with accrued interest thereon and any other amounts then due and payable by that Borrower hereunder, unless, in the case of a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event described in paragraph (iv) of Section 2.22(c), the other Person party to the transaction is a Borrower and such other Borrower has assumed in writing all of the outstanding Advances and other obligations under this Agreement and under the Notes, if any, of the Terminated Subsidiary Borrower.
(e)TBC as Subsidiary Borrowers’ Agent.  Each of the Subsidiary Borrowers hereby appoints and authorizes TBC to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to TBC by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
(f)Subsidiaries’ Several Liabilities.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Subsidiary Borrowers shall be severally liable for the liabilities and obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement and its Borrowings, and Notes, if any.  No Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable for the obligations of any other Borrower under this Agreement or any Borrowings of any other Borrower or any other Borrower’s Notes, if any.  Each Subsidiary Borrower shall be severally liable for all payments of the principal of and interest on Advances to such Subsidiary Borrower, and any other amounts due hereunder that are specifically allocable to such Subsidiary Borrower or the Advances to such Subsidiary Borrower.  With respect to any amounts due hereunder, including fees, that are not specifically allocable to a particular Borrower, each Borrower shall be liable for such amount pro rata in the same proportion as such Borrower’s outstanding Advances bear to the total of thenoutstanding Advances to all Borrowers.
2.23  Defaulting Lenders.  
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment of principal, interest, facility fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 6 or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be reasonably determined by the Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as reasonably determined by the Agent; third, if so reasonably determined by the Agent and the Borrowers, to be held as cash collateral and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made at a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender and provided further that any amounts held as cash collateral for funding obligations of a Defaulting Lender shall be returned to such Defaulting Lender upon the 
    33








termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction of such Defaulting Lender’s obligations hereunder.  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 2.23 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(b)No Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.23, performance by the Borrowers of their obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 2.23.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.23 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrowers, the Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
(c)If the Borrowers and the Agent agree in writing in their reasonable determination that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the 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 Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their ratable portions, 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 any 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 such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
2.24  Benchmark Replacement Setting.  
(a)Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders.
(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
    34








(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and  (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of  the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.24(d).  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.24, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.24.
(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Advances.  During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

ARTICLE 7

The Agent


7.1  Appointment and Authority.  Each Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein (or any other similar term) with reference to the 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
7.2  Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
7.3  Exculpatory Provisions.  
(a)The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:
(i)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any debtor relief law; and
(iii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;
provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this 
    46








Agreement.  The Agent further agrees to make a request pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(8) at the request of any Lender, and to share such requested information with the Lenders.
(b)The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.1 and 6.2), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent in writing by the Company or a Lender.
(c)The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.
7.4  Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
7.5  Indemnification.  
(a)Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by TBC or any other Borrower), from and against its ratable share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, 
    47








modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by TBC or any other Borrower.
(b)The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 7.5 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.  The Agent agrees to return to the Lenders their respective ratable shares of any amounts paid under this Section 7.5 that are subsequently reimbursed by TBC or any Borrower.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.5 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party.
7.6  Resignation of Agent.  
(a)The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right with the consent of the Company (if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above with the consent of the Company (if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Majority Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, with the consent of the Company (if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall 
    48








instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.
7.7  Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent.  The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent. 
7.8  Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder.
7.9  No Other Duties, etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or a Lender hereunder.
7.10  Lender ERISA Representation.  Each Lender party to this Agreement as of the Closing Date represents and warrants as of the Closing Date to the Agent and each other Joint Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, for the benefit of the Company or any other Borrower, that such Lender is not and will not be (i) an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code; (iii) an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any such plans or accounts for purposes of ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code that is using “plan assets” of any such plans or accounts to fund or hold Advances or perform its obligations under this Agreement; or (iv) a “governmental plan” within the meaning of ERISA.
7.11  Recovery of Erroneous Payments.  
(a)If the Agent (x) notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns) , a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to 
    49








such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether  transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 7.11 and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.  A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
(i)    it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)    such Lender shall (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 7.11(b). 
For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section 7.11(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.11(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.
(c)Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement, or otherwise payable or distributable by 
    50








the Agent to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).
(d) (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments ) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Company) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an assignment agreement by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which the Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Advances to the Company or the Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Agent and the Company shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  
(ii)  Subject to Section 2.20 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Company or otherwise)), the Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Agent on or with respect to any such Advances acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances are then owned by the Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.
    51








(e)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such) under this Agreement with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such obligations in respect of Advances that have been assigned to the Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Company or any other Borrower under this Agreement; provided that this Section 7.11 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the obligations of any Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of such obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from any Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to  an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 7.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations (or any portion thereof) of the Borrowers under this Agreement.

(vi)amend this Section 8.1, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders, or
(vii)release TBC from any of its obligations under any Guaranty or limit the liability of TBC as guarantor thereunder, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders; 
and provided further that no amendment, waiver, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any Note.  
(c)Majority Lenders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.1 shall not affect the provisions of Section 4.4, “Waivers of Covenants”, or Article 6, “Events of Default”.
8.2  Notices.  
(a)Addresses.  All communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing and mailed, telecopied, telexed or delivered and,

(b)Effectiveness of Notices.  All communications and notices shall, when mailed, telecopied, or telexed, be effective when deposited in the mail, telecopied, or confirmed by telex answerback, respectively, 
    53

(c)Electronic Mail.  Electronic mail may be used to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements and other information, and documents to be signed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that no Notice of Borrowing, signature, or other notice or document intended to be legally binding shall be effective if sent by electronic mail unless agreed by the Agent.
(d)Internet Distributions.  
(1)    So long as Citibank or any of its Affiliates is the Agent, such materials as may be agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent may be delivered to the Agent in an electronic medium in a format acceptable to the Agent and the Lenders by e-mail at oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com.  The Borrowers agree that the Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on Intralinks (the “Platform”).  The Borrowers acknowledge that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.
(2)    Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if requested by any Lender the Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by email or telecopier.  Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
8.3  Costs, Expenses and Taxes.
(a)TBC shall pay upon written request all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, modification and amendment requested by any of the Borrowers of this Agreement, any Notes and the Guaranties (including, without limitation, printing costs and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent) and costs and expenses, if any, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, any Notes and the Guaranties (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise and including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel), as well as any and all stamp and other taxes, and to save the Lenders and other holders of interests in the Advances or any Notes harmless from any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay by or omission of the Borrowers to pay such 
    54








taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any Notes and the Guaranties.
(b)TBC agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) the Advances, this Agreement, the Notes, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment and except that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder to the extent such indemnification relates to relationships of, between or among each of, or any of, the Agent, the Lenders, any assignee of a Lender or any participant.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which this Section 8.3 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by TBC, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.
(c)The Borrowers also agree not to assert any claim on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, arising out of or otherwise relating to the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of Advances.
(d)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 8.3 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes for a period of seven years.
8.4  Binding Effect.

8.5  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement, or of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Notes or of any Exhibit to be executed and delivered hereunder, shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof by facsimile transmission or other electronic format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof or thereof.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, 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.
8.9  Right of Set-Off.  Each Lender and each of its Affiliates that is or was at one time a Lender hereunder is authorized at any time and from time to time, upon 
(i)the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and 
(ii)the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.2 to authorize the Agent to declare any Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2, 
to the fullest extent permitted by law, without notice to any Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations to such Lender or such Affiliate of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and any Notes held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender has made a demand under this Agreement or such Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender shall promptly notify any Borrower after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Lender and its Affiliates may have.
8.10  Confidentiality.  Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person without the consent of a Borrower, other than 
(a)    to the Agent’s or such Lender’s Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and advisors (“Permitted Parties”) and their respective professional advisors and, as contemplated by Section 2.20(f), to actual or prospective assignees and participants and their respective agents and advisors, and then only on a confidential basis, 
(b)    as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, 
(c)    any rating agency, or direct or indirect provider of credit protection to any Permitted Party, and then only on a confidential basis; and
    56








(d)    as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign regulatory, supervisory, governmental or quasi-governmental authority with jurisdiction over a Permitted Party or examiner regulating banks or banking or other financial institutions.
The Agent and the Lenders are strictly prohibited from disclosing the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers.
8.11  Agreement in Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective upon its execution and delivery, respectively, to the Agent and TBC by TBC and the Agent, and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Lender listed on Schedule I that such Lender has executed it.
8.12  Patriot Act Notice.  Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) and the promulgated regulations thereto (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.  Each Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.
8.13  Jurisdiction, Etc.  
(a)Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any other party hereto or any Related Party of the foregoing arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes, in any forum other than any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court.  Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be made upon the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company its authorized agent to accept such service of process, and agrees that the failure of the Company to give any notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.  Each Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Company at its address specified pursuant to Section 8.2.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(b)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of 
    57








venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes in any New York State or federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
8.14  No Fiduciary Duty.  The Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers.  TBC agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, TBC and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agent, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.  
8.15  Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory).  Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section.
8.16  Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Certain Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under this Agreement, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected  Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
