ARTICLE II. 
THE COMMITMENTS AND LOANS 
2.01 Loans.   
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to 
make term loans (each a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower as follows: 
(i) on the Closing Date, each Lender severally agrees to make a Loan to the 
Borrower in a single advance (the “Initial Advance”) in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s 
Commitment, provided that the aggregate principal of all Loans made by the Lenders on such 
date shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments (before giving effect to mandatory reductions 
in the Aggregate Commitments under Section 2.07(b)); and 
16188091_7 24
 (ii) on any other Business Day during the Availability Period,  each Lender severally 
agrees to make a Loan to the Borrower in a single advance (the “Delayed Draw Advance”) in an 
amount not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Delayed Draw 
Amount, provided that (A) the Borrower may not request more than one advance pursuant to 
this Section 2.01(a)(ii) and (B) the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans made 
on such date (the “Delayed Draw Advance Date”) plus (y) the aggregate principal amount of all 
Loans by the Lenders made on the Closing Date shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments 
(before giving effect to mandatory reductions in the Aggregate Commitments under Section 
2.07(b)).   
(b) Amounts borrowed under Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.  
The Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 
2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 
(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each 
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the 
Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the 
Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any 
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of 
Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate 
Loans.  Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed 
promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and 
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of 
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in 
excess thereof.  Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of 
$500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or 
written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from 
one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the 
Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the 
principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be 
borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the 
Interest Period with respect thereto.  If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or 
if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable 
Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate 
Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the 
applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans.  If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or 
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it 
will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 
(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each 
Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a 
conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each 
Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding 
subsection.  In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the 
16188091_7 25
 Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 
1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the 
applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the Initial Advance, Section 
4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds 
as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books 
of Mizuho with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance 
with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower. 
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or 
converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan.  During the existence 
of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without 
the consent of the Required Lenders. 
(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the 
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such 
interest rate.  The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive 
in the absence of manifest error.   
(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the 
other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than six Interest Periods 
in effect with respect to Loans. 
2.03 [Reserved.] 
2.04 [Reserved.]  
2.05 [Reserved.] 
2.06 Prepayments.  The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any 
time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or 
penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 
a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) on the date 
of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (b) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal 
amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (c) any prepayment of 
Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess 
thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice 
shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid.  The 
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the 
amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Borrower, the 
Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and 
payable on the date specified therein, unless such notice is made conditional on a transaction or financing, 
in which case the obligation of the Borrower to make such prepayment (and to pay such payment amount) 
shall be subject to such conditions.  Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by 
all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.  
Subject to Section 2.17, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance 
with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
2.07 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 
16188091_7 26
 (a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice may be 
conditioned on the consummation of a transaction or financing), terminate the Aggregate Commitments, 
or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice 
shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the 
date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of 
$5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrower shall not 
terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent 
prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments.  The 
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of 
the Aggregate Commitments.  Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the 
Commitment of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share.   
(b) Mandatory.  The Aggregate Commitments shall be automatically and permanently 
reduced to zero (0) upon the earlier of (i) the funding of the Delayed Draw Advance and (ii) the 
expiration of the Availability Period. 
2.08 Repayment of Loans.  The Borrower shall repay to each Lender on its Maturity Date 
the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date. 
2.09 Interest. 
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall 
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum 
equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate 
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date 
at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
(b) If any amount payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due 
(without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or 
otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times 
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.  Accrued and unpaid interest 
on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date 
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due 
and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the 
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
2.10 Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and Bookrunners, the Administrative 
Agent and the Lenders for their own respective accounts such fees as shall have been separately agreed 
upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid 
and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 
2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for Base Rate 
Loans determined by reference to the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, 
as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on 
the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, 
being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the 
16188091_7 27
 day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on 
which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it 
is made shall, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one day. 
2.12 Evidence of Debt.  The Borrowings made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one 
or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary 
course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender 
shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowings made by the Lenders to the 
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall 
not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing 
with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained 
by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the 
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the 
request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to 
such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in 
addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon 
the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
2.13 Payments Generally. 
(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction 
for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all 
payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the 
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and 
in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  The Administrative 
Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided 
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All 
payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next 
succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  
(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a 
Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time 
shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
(c) (i)  Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the 
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any 
Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 
12:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) that such Lender will not make available 
to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may 
assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, 
in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in 
accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, 
make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made 
its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender 
and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such 
corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and 
including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment 
to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of 
16188091_7 28
 the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking 
industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily 
charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment 
to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower and such 
Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the 
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the 
Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the 
Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such 
Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may 
have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the 
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which 
any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the 
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower 
has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such 
assumption, distribute to the Lenders, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in 
fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative 
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available 
funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to 
it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal 
Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking 
industry rules on interbank compensation. 
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount 
owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be 
made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not 
made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable 
Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the 
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such 
Lender, without interest. 
(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant 
to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any 
such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall 
not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall 
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation or to 
make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 
(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan 
in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or 
will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
16188091_7 29
 2.14 Sharing of Payments.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or 
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans 
made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such 
Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided 
herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such 
fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make 
such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the 
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their 
respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 
(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any 
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations 
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; 
and 
(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment 
made by or on behalf of the Borrower 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 Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or 
any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
The 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 the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such 
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
2.15 Extension of Maturity Date. 
(a) Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who 
shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 90 days and not later than 35 days prior to an 
anniversary of the Closing Date (each, an “Applicable Anniversary Date”), request that each Lender 
extend such Lender’s Maturity Date for an additional year from the Maturity Date then in effect for such 
Lender hereunder (such Lender’s “Existing Maturity Date”).  The Borrower may request such an 
extension no more than two times. 
(b) Lender Elections to Extend.  Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, 
shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 20 days 
prior to such Applicable Anniversary Date, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender 
agrees to such extension (and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Maturity Date (a 
“Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such 
determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date)) and any Lender that does not so advise 
the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender.  
The election of any Lender to agree to such extension (each such Lender is herein called an “Extending 
Lender”) shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree. 
(c) Notification by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the 
Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date that is 15 days prior to 
16188091_7 30
 the Applicable Anniversary Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business 
Day). 
(d) Additional Lenders.  The Borrower shall have the right, on or before the Maturity Date 
applicable to any Non-Extending Lender, to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as 
“Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional 
Lender”) as provided in Section 10.14, each of which Additional Lenders shall have entered into an 
Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which each such Additional Lender shall, effective as of such 
Existing Maturity Date, acquire the Outstanding Amounts of the Non-Extending Lender (and, if any 
such Additional Lender is already a Lender, the Non-Extending Lender’s Outstanding Amounts shall be 
in addition to such Lender’s Outstanding Amounts hereunder on such date). 
(e) Minimum Extension Requirement.  If (and only if) the aggregate (x) Total Outstandings 
of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Maturity Date and (y) Total Outstandings of Additional 
Lenders shall be more than 50% of the Total Outstandings in effect immediately prior to an Applicable 
Anniversary Date, then, effective as of the Existing Maturity Date of each such Extending Lender, the 
Maturity Date of each such Extending Lender and of each such Additional Lender shall be extended to 
the date falling one year after the Existing Maturity Date of each such Extending Lender (except that, if 
such date is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business 
Day) and each Additional Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement. 
(f) Additional Agreements Regarding Extensions. 
(i) As a condition precedent to the extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this 
Section, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower 
signed by a Responsible Officer certifying that (A) no Default exists on the date of such certificate, 
either before or after giving effect to such extension; (B) the representations and warranties of the 
Loan Parties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in 
all material respects on and as of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto (or, if 
any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as 
of such specific date and except that such materiality qualifier shall not apply to the extent that 
any such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality); and (C) there has been no event 
or circumstance since the Closing Date that has had or could be reasonably expected to have, 
either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and 
(ii) on the Maturity Date applicable to each Non-Extending Lender, the Borrower 
shall prepay, on a non pro rata basis with respect to Extending Lenders, any Loans outstanding on 
such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent 
necessary to satisfy in full the Obligations due to such Non-Extending Lender under the Loan 
Documents as of such date. 
(g) Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14 
or Section 10.01 to the contrary. 
16188091_7 31
 2.16 [Reserved.] 
2.17 Defaulting Lenders. 
(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in 
this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no 
longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 
(i) Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or 
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted 
as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 10.01.  
(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other 
amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender 
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received 
by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied 
at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the 
payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent 
hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default 
exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund 
its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; 
third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit 
account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding 
obligations with respect to Loans 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 or Event of Default exists, to the 
payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of 
competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of 
such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and 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 Loans in respect of which such 
Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a 
time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be 
applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being 
applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are 
held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments.  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 pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and 
redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, agree in writing 
that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties 
hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth 
therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of 
the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary 
16188091_7 32
 to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon 
such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made 
retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that 
Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly 
agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a 
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a 
Defaulting Lender. 
ARTICLE III. 
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
3.01 Taxes. 
(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. 
(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party 
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be 
made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes.  If, however, applicable Laws require any 
Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax as determined by a Loan 
Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, then the Administrative Agent or such 
Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the 
information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below. 
(ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to 
withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and 
withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make 
such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the 
information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the 
Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant 
Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding 
or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan 
Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all 
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this 
Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the 
sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. 
(iii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any 
applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then 
(A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or 
make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and 
documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the 
Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount 
withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and 
(C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the 
sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any 
required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to 
16188091_7 33
 additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Administrative Agent or Lender 
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction 
been made. 
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection 
(a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with 
applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any 
Other Taxes. 
(c) Tax Indemnifications. 
(i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each of the Loan 
Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each 
Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the 
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or 
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by any Loan Party or the 
Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, 
and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, 
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the 
relevant Governmental Authority.   
(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make 
payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent 
against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan 
Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and 
without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the 
Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with 
the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the 
Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes 
attributable to such Lender, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party 
in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with 
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the 
relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability 
delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  
Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts 
at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any 
amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).  The agreements in this clause (ii) 
shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of 
rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the 
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.  Each of the Loan Parties shall, and 
does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment 
in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender fails to 
pay to the Administrative Agent as required by this clause (ii). 
(d) Evidence of Payments.  Upon request by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as 
the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent to a 
16188091_7 34
 Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, such Loan Party shall deliver to the 
Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Loan Party, as the case may be, 
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such 
payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such 
payment reasonably satisfactory to such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 
(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. 
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax 
with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and to the 
Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably 
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed 
documentation reasonably requested as will permit such payments to be made without 
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested 
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed 
by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will 
enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is 
subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything 
to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such 
documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), 3.01(e)(ii)(B) 
and 3.01(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such 
completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed 
cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is 
a U.S. Person, 
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the 
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender 
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the 
Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying 
that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, 
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall 
be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender 
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the 
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the 
following is applicable: 
(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax 
treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of 
interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E 
(or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, 
U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty 
and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, 
16188091_7 35
 IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption 
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business 
profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption 
for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate 
substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is 
not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 
percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) 
of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in 
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and 
(y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or 
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed 
originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form 
W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate 
substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or 
other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided 
that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect 
partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, 
such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate 
substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect 
partner; 
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, 
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall 
be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender 
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the 
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of 
any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a 
reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such 
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the 
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction 
required to be made; and 
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be 
subject to U.S. 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 Code, as applicable), such Lender shall 
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by 
law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative 
Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by 
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably 
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the 
16188091_7 36
 Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA 
and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under 
FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely 
for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to 
FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered 
pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall 
update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 
in writing of its legal inability to do so. 
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the 
Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have 
any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the 
account of such Lender.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, 
exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by 
any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this 
Section, it shall pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of 
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this Section with respect 
to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative 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 the Loan Party, upon the request of 
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus 
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the 
Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to 
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this 
subsection, in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to 
the Loan Party pursuant to this subsection to the extent such payment would place the Administrative 
Agent or any Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or any 
Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not 
been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts 
with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the 
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating 
to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. 
(g) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation 
or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a 
Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other 
Obligations. 
3.02 Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any 
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office 
to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to 
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has 
imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, 
Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through 
16188091_7 37
 the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or 
to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the 
illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined 
by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate 
Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative 
Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such 
Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such 
determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from 
such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar 
Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such 
Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without 
reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period 
therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or 
immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if 
such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the 
Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base 
Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the 
Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal  for such Lender to 
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or 
conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.  If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar 
Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (a) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) 
Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the 
applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable 
means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a 
proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each 
case with respect to clause (a) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required 
Lenders determine for any reason that the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect 
to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of 
funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  
Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be 
suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of 
a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the 
Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be 
suspended in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) 
revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a 
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans suspended (to the extent of the 
affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such 
request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described 
in clause (a)(i) of this Section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the 
affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such 
alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans (unless the Borrower elects to 
maintain the Impacted Loans as Base Rate Loans) until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice 
delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this Section, (2) the 
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that 
such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the 
Impacted Loans, or (3) as to any Lender, such Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or 
that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable 
16188091_7 38
 Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such 
alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any 
Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of 
the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof. 
3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
(a) Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall: 
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory 
loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account 
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement 
contemplated by Section 3.04(e));  
(ii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes 
described in clause (a) of the definition of Excluded Taxes to the extent resulting from changes in 
tax rates, and Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or 
(C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or 
other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 
(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost 
or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender; 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing, 
converting to or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar 
Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum 
received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, 
upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as 
will compensate such Lender, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
(b) Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such 
Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding 
capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such 
Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this 
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that 
which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law 
(taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company 
with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such 
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for 
any such reduction suffered. 
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown 
as due on a certificate from such Lender setting forth the amounts necessary to compensate such Lender 
or its holding company to the extent required by subsection (a) or (b) of this Section within 10 days after 
receipt thereof.  Each Lender agrees that it will not claim, and that it shall not be entitled to claim, from 
the Borrower the payment of any of the amounts referred to in Section 3.04(a), (b) or (e) if it is not 
generally claiming similar compensation from its other similar customers in similar circumstances. 
16188091_7 39
 (d) Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation 
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to 
demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender 
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions 
suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in 
Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim 
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or 
reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the 
period of retroactive effect thereof). 
(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.  The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as 
such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or 
including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional 
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such 
reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which 
determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is 
payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a 
copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give 
notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and 
payable 15 days from receipt of such notice. 
3.05 Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the 
Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and 
hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base 
Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, 
mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 
(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a 
Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the 
amount notified by the Borrower; or 
(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest 
Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.14; 
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to 
maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, 
but excluding loss of Applicable Rate or loss of profit.  The Borrower shall also pay any customary 
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 
3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar 
Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market 
for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in 
fact so funded. 
16188091_7 40
 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation 
under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, or any 
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a 
notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different 
Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations 
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such 
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 
or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as 
applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and 
would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all 
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or 
assignment. 
(b) Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if 
the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for 
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in 
accordance with Section 10.14. 
3.07 Survival.  All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive 
termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. 
ARTICLE IV. 
CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO BORROWINGS 
4.01 Conditions to the Closing Date and Initial Advance.  The effectiveness of this 
Agreement, and the obligation of each Lender to make its Initial Advance hereunder is subject to 
satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: 
(a) The Administrative Agent’s receipt of the following, each of which shall be originals, 
facsimiles or “pdf” electronic copies (followed promptly by originals) unless otherwise specified, each 
properly executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, each dated 
the Closing Date (or, in the case of certificates of governmental officials, a recent date before the Closing

consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; 
(ii) fairly present the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and 
their results of operations for the period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied

16188091_7 44
 (b) The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries 
most recently delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(b) and the related consolidated statements of income or 
operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal quarter ended on that date (i) were prepared

5.06 Litigation.  Except as disclosed in the Borrower’s annual report on Form 10-K for 
the year ended December 31, 2014 and in any other Form 10-Q or Form 8-K delivered prior to the date of

Governmental Authority, by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their

determination and that, if determined adversely, either individually or in the aggregate could reasonably 
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that this representation, when made, shall not 
constitute an admission that any action, suit, proceeding, investigation, claim or dispute set forth or 
disclosed in any annual report on Form 10-K or on any Form 10-Q or Form 8-K referred to above could 
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect due to an adverse determination, if any. 
5.07 No Default.  Neither Loan Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is in default under or 
with respect to any Contractual Obligation that could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably 
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Default has occurred and is continuing or would result 
from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

thereof, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that, except as disclosed in the Borrower’s annual report 
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, such claims could not, individually or in the 
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries 
are in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws except to the extent non-compliance could not, 
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The 
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained or have applied for all material licenses, permits, 
authorizations and registrations required under any Environmental Law (“Environmental Permits”) 
necessary for its operations, and all such Environmental Permits are in good standing, and the Borrower 
and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all terms and conditions of such Environmental 
Permits, except to the extent that the failure to possess, or be in compliance with, any of the foregoing 
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
16188091_7 45
 5.10 Insurance.  The properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are either covered by 
self-insurance meeting the criteria set forth in Section 6.07 or are insured with financially sound and 
reputable insurance companies (determined at the time the applicable insurance was obtained), in such 
amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged 
in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Borrower or the applicable 
Subsidiary operates. 
5.11 Taxes.  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal and other material 
tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all material Federal, state and other material 
taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties, 
income or assets otherwise due and payable, except (i) those which are being contested in good faith by 
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in 
accordance with GAAP or (ii) where the failure to make such filing or payment would not reasonably be 
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There is no proposed tax assessment against any Loan Party 
or any Subsidiary thereof that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
5.12 ERISA Compliance. 
(a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of 
ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state Laws.  Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 
401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an application for such 
a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of the 
Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification.  The 
Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to the 
Pension Funding Rules, and no application for a funding waiver under the Pension Funding Rules or an 
extension of any amortization period pursuant to the Pension Funding Rules has been made with respect 
to any Plan. 
(b) There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened claims, 
actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could 
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There has been no prohibited transaction or 
violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could 
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
(c) (i)  No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (ii) no Pension 
Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability which, when aggregated with the Unfunded Pension Liability 
of all other Pension Plans, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii)  neither 
the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under 
Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under 
Section 4007 of ERISA); (iv) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably 
expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 
4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a 
Multiemployer Plan; and (v) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction 
that could be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

(a) The Borrower is not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of its important 
activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U 
issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock.  
Following the application of the proceeds of each Borrowing, not more than 25% of the value of the 
assets (either of the Borrower only or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) 
subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 or subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or 
instrument between the Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender relating to Indebtedness 
and within the scope of Section 8.01(e) will be margin stock. 
(b) None of the Borrower, any Person Controlling the Borrower, or any Subsidiary (i) is or 
is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or 
(ii) is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, any state public 
utilities code or any other Federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur Indebtedness 
hereunder. 
5.15 Disclosure.  The Borrower has disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the 
Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its 
Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could 
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  For purposes of this Section 5.15, 
information that is disclosed in a Form 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, or definitive proxy materials filed by the 
Borrower with the SEC shall be deemed to have been disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the 
Lenders.  No written report, financial statement, certificate or other information (excluding projections, 
industry or general economic data or information and other forward looking information) furnished (in 
writing) by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with 
the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as 
modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact 
or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the 
circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that, with respect to 
projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good 
faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time such projected financial information 
was prepared. 
5.16 Compliance with Laws.  Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary thereof is in 
compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and 
decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law 
or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently 
conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not 
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
5.17 [Reserved]. 
5.18 Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc.  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, or 
possess the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent 
rights, franchises, intellectual property licenses and other intellectual property rights that are reasonably 
necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, such 
ownership or right to use is without conflict with the rights of any other Person (except to the extent such 
conflict would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).  To the knowledge of the 
16188091_7 47
 Borrower, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other 
material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary 
infringes upon any rights held by any other Person (except to the extent such infringement would not 
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).  No claim or litigation regarding any of the 
foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, which, either individually or 
in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
5.19 Solvency.  As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the transactions (including 
each Loan) to be consummated on such date, each Loan Party, individually and together with its 
Subsidiaries, is Solvent.

located, operating, organized or resident in a Designated Jurisdiction. 
5.21 Anti-Corruption Laws.  The Loan Parties and their Affiliates are in material 
compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws, and have instituted and maintained policies and procedures 
designed to promote and achieve compliance with such laws.  To the knowledge of the Borrower, (a) the 
Loan Parties’ and their Affiliates’ respective directors, officers and employees have materially complied 
with Anti-Corruption Laws in the course of performing their duties for the Loan Parties or their Affiliates 
(as applicable), and (b) the Loan Parties’ and their Affiliates’ respective agents have materially complied

such Lender in efforts to obtain any required consents to disclosure. 
Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) or Section 6.02(c) (to the 
extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered 
electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) (A) after which

delivering paper copies or soft copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender.  The 
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the 
documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the 
Borrower with any such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting

“public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with 
respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).  The Borrower hereby agrees that 
(w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and 
conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear 
prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall 
be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and Bookrunners and the Lenders 
to treat such Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or not material information 
(although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes 
of United States Federal and state securities laws; (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are

Material Adverse Effect.

kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of such types and 
in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons.  Such 
insurance may include self-insurance or be subject to co-insurance, deductibility or similar clauses which,

opportunity to participate in such meetings), all at the expense of the Borrower and at such reasonable 
times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance 
notice to the Borrower; provided, however, that (x) when an Event of Default exists the Administrative 
Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of 
the foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and without 
advance notice and (y) disclosure of confidential information pursuant to this Section shall be subject to 
(x) such attorney-client privilege exceptions that the Borrower reasonably determines are necessary in

prohibited by Sections 7.08, 7.10 and 7.11. 
6.12 Maintenance of Tax Status.  The Borrower shall take all action necessary to prevent 
the Borrower and Intermediate Guarantor from being, and will take no action which would have the effect 
of causing either of the Borrower or Intermediate Guarantor to be, treated as an association taxable as a 
corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes. 
6.13 Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions.  The Loan Parties will, and will cause their

Sanctions, and maintain policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with such

Borrower that is not a Guarantor as of the Execution Date (as defined in the First Amendment) 
Guarantees any of the Parent Guarantor’s senior, unsecured, long-term Indebtedness or any other senior, 
unsecured, long-term Indebtedness of Borrower, the Parent Guarantor or Borrower (as applicable) will, 
within 30 days thereof, (i) cause such Subsidiary to Guarantee the Obligations by executing and

Borrower or a Guarantor, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by 
a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation or 
merger complies with this Section 7.04; and 
(d) any Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) may dissolve in connection with any 
Disposition otherwise permitted by this Section 7.04. 
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 7.04 shall be or be deemed to permit any 
merger, dissolution, liquidation, consolidation or Disposition which would result in a Change of Control.

Subsidiary of the Borrower, or (c) transactions with any Joint Venture, provided that such transactions

Subsidiary to, enter into or permit any Contractual Obligation that limits the ability of any Subsidiary to 
pay dividends or make other payments or distributions to the Borrower or to any other Subsidiary or to 
otherwise transfer property to the Borrower or to any other Subsidiary; unless (a) none of such 
limitations, either individually or in the aggregate, would (i) materially restrict the ability of the 
Subsidiaries taken as a whole to pay dividends, make other payments or distributions or transfer property 
to the Borrower, or (ii) materially restrict the ability of the Subsidiaries of Intermediate Guarantor taken 
as a whole to pay dividends, make other payments or distributions or transfer property to Intermediate 
Guarantor, and (b) each such limitation, individually and in the aggregate with all other such limitations, 
could not reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Borrower to perform its monetary obligations 
hereunder.

(a) Use the proceeds of any Borrowing, whether directly or indirectly, and whether 
immediately, incidentally or ultimately, to purchase or carry margin stock (within the meaning of

not restrict the repurchase of limited partnership units of the Borrower by the Borrower or any of its 
Subsidiaries; or

or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other individual or 
entity, to fund any activities of or business with any individual or entity, or in any Designated 
Jurisdiction, that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of Sanctions, or in any other manner that will 
result in a material violation by the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries or any Lender, Arranger and 
Bookrunner, or the Administrative Agent, of Sanctions. 
7.11 Anti-Corruption Laws.  The Loan Parties will not, and not permit any of their 
Subsidiaries to use directly or, to the Loan Parties’ knowledge, indirectly the proceeds of any Borrowing

occurs under any Swap Contract an Early Termination Date (as defined in such Swap Contract) resulting 
from (A) any event of default under such Swap Contract as to which a Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a

any or all of the following actions: 
(a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans to be terminated, whereupon 
such commitments and obligation shall be terminated;  
(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and

be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of 
which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and 
(c) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the 
Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable law;

16188091_7 62
 ARTICLE IX. 
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
9.01 Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints 
Mizuho to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents 
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as 
are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and 
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the 
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary 
of any of such provisions (except with respect to Section 9.06).  It is understood and agreed that the use of 
the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the 
Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations 
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market 
custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting 
parties. 
9.02 Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder 
shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise 
the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless 
otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the 
Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept 
deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and 
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as 
if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to 
the Lenders. 
9.03 Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or 
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the 
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a 
Default has occurred and is continuing; 
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary 
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan 
Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required 
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or 
in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any 
action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability 
or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law 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 
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have 
any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the 
Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the 
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
16188091_7 63
 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the 
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as 
shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the 
circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or 
willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable 
judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and 
until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or  a 
Lender. 
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire 
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any 
other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or 
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the 
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any 
Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan 
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set 
forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be 
delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to 
rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, 
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet 
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or 
otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any 
statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, 
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition 
hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the 
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the 
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of 
such Loan.  The Administrative 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. 
9.05 Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its 
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any 
one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such 
sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their 
respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent 
and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their 
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well 
as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the 
negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction 
determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross 
negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 
9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. 
(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders 
and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the 
right, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (provided such consent shall not be unreasonably 
withheld or delayed and no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is 
16188091_7 64
 continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an 
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so 
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the 
retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day  as shall be agreed by 
the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may on 
behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth 
above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no 
qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become 
effective in accordance with such notice. 
(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause 
(d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by 
notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, 
with the prior written consent of the Borrower (provided such consent shall not be unreasonably 
withheld or delayed and no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is 
continuing), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required 
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed 
by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become 
effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.  As used in this Section 9.06, 
the terms “retiring” and “retired” shall include “removed”. 
(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as 
applicable) (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations 
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by 
the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring 
Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor 
Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided 
to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender 
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided 
for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent 
hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges 
and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall 
be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not 
already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a 
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise 
agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation 
or removal, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of 
such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any 
actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting 
as Administrative Agent. 
9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender 
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other 
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed 
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also 
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other 
16188091_7 65
 Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time 
to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based 
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished 
hereunder or thereunder. 
9.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any 
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition 
or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether 
the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise 
and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower or 
any other Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and 
unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other 
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the 
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements 
and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and 
all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10, and 10.04) allowed 
in such judicial proceeding; and 
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such 
claims and to distribute the same; 
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such 
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative 
Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments 
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable 
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and 
counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 10.04. 
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or 
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any plan of reorganization, arrangement, 
adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the 
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
9.09 [Reserved.] 
9.10 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers.  None of the Lenders or other Persons 
identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” 
“documentation agent,” “joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner,” or “joint lead arranger” shall have any 
right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement except in its capacity, as 
applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of 
the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with 
any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or 
other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action 
hereunder. 
16188091_7 66
 ARTICLE X. 
MISCELLANEOUS 
10.01 Amendments, Etc.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or 
any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party 
therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing, signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the 
applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and a copy thereof is provided to the Administrative Agent, or 
signed by the Borrower and the applicable Loan Party and the Administrative Agent with the consent of 
the Required Lenders, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and 
for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent 
shall: 
(a) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.01 without the written consent of each 
Lender; 
(b) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment 
terminated pursuant to Section 8.02) without the written consent of such Lender; 
(c) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any 
payment or mandatory prepayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or 
any of them) or any mandatory reduction of the Aggregate Commitments hereunder or under any other 
Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
(d) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject 
to clause (v) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or 
under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected 
thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend 
the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default 
Rate; 
(e) change Section 2.14, Section 8.03 or the definition of “Pro Rata Share” in a manner that 
would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each 
Lender; 
(f) change any provision of this Section or the percentages contained in the definition of 
“Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders 
required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant 
any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; or 
(g) release a Guarantor from liability under the applicable Guaranty Agreement without the 
written consent of each Lender; 
and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the 
Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the 
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (ii) Section 10.06(i) may 
not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any 
part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other 
modification.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right 
to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or 
16188091_7 67
 consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected 
with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the 
Commitment of a Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, nor the principal amount of any 
Loan or any interest thereon, or any other amounts payable hereunder, owed to such Defaulting Lender 
reduced or the date for payment thereof extended, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (y) any 
waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by 
its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the 
consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (z) any waiver, amendment or modification changing the voting 
rights of a Defaulting Lender shall require the consent of each Lender that is a Defaulting Lender at the 
time that such waiver, amendment or modification becomes effective. 
If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, consent, discharge or termination of or to any of the 
provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by this Section 10.01, the consent of the Required Lenders 
is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not 
obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, to replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders 
with one or more (so long as all non-consenting Lenders are so replaced) persons pursuant to Section 
10.14 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such new Lender consents to the proposed change, 
waiver, consent, discharge or termination.  Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrower elects to replace such 
Lender in accordance with this Section, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent 
an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the 
Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to 
such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such non-consenting Lender to execute 
an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding 
assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register. 
10.02 Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies. 
(a) General.  Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other 
communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission).  All

registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications 
sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal 
business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next 
business day for the recipient).  Notices and other communications delivered through electronic 
16188091_7 68

such subsection (b). 
(b) Electronic Communications.  Notices and other communications to the Lenders 
hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or

foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the 
Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic 
communication.  The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept 
notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures 
approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or 
communications. 
Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent

normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent 
at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications 
posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the 
intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause of notification that such notice 
or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. 
(c) Change of Address, Etc.  Each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may 
change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by 
notice to the other parties hereto.  Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone 
number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the 
Administrative Agent.  In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to 
time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, 
telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other 
communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.  Furthermore, each 
Public Lender (as defined in Section 6.02) agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such 
Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Investor” or similar designation on the content 
declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance 
with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal 
and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through 
the “Public Investor” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with 
respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 
(d) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders.  The Administrative Agent and the 
Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Loan Notices) 
purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner 
specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified 
herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.  
The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of 
them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each 
notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower except to the extent such losses, costs, 
16188091_7 69
 expenses and liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the 
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.  All telephonic notices to and other 
communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each 
of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
(e) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT 
PARTIES AND THE ARRANGER PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE 
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF 
THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS 
FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED 
OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING 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 ANY AGENT PARTY OR ANY 
ARRANGER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE 
PLATFORM.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the 
“Agent Parties”) or any Arranger and Bookrunner or any of their respective Related Parties (collectively, 
the “Arranger Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, 
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of 
the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, 
except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of 
competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence 
or willful misconduct of such Agent Party or Arranger Party; provided, however, that in no event shall 
any Agent Party or Arranger Party have any liability to the Borrower or any other Person for indirect, 
special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). 
10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. 
(a) No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any 
such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver 
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder 
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or 
privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive 
of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan 
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents 
against Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law 
in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the 
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the 
Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from 
exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as 
Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising 
setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.14), or (c) any Lender 
from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a 
proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any 
16188091_7 70
 time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, 
then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent 
pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding 
proviso and subject to Section 2.14, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce 
any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 
10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 
(a) Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses 
incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and 
disbursements of outside counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of 
the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and 
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or 
waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or 
thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent 
and any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one primary outside counsel for the 
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and in the case of actual or potential conflict of interest, separate 
counsel for Indemnitees to the extent needed to avoid such conflict, and one firm of local counsel, as 
applicable, in any relevant jurisdiction, and in the case of actual or potential conflict of interest, separate 
local counsel for Indemnitees to the extent needed to avoid such conflict), in connection with the 
enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan 
Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, 
including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in 
respect of such Loans. 
(b) Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative 
Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Arranger and Bookrunner, and each Lender, and each Related 
Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold 
each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses 
(including the fees, charges and disbursements of one primary outside counsel for the Indemnitees and, 
in the case of actual or potential conflict of interest, separate counsel for Indemnitees to the extent 
needed to avoid such conflict), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any 
third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of 
(i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or 
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective 
obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or 
thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged 
presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower 
or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its 
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to 
any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third 
party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party 
thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the 
comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall 
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or 
16188091_7 71
 related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable 
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or material breach by 
of such Indemnitee of its obligations under this Agreement; and provided further that no Indemnitee 
(other than the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Arranger and Bookrunner, each 
Documentation Agent, and each Syndication Agent, in each case in its capacity as such) will have a right 
to indemnification for such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent they result from 
disputes among the Lenders other than as a result of any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its 
Affiliates.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(c), this Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with 
respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-
 Tax claim. 
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to 
indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the 
Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and 
without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the 
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s 
Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity 
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, 
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the 
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as, or against any Related Party of any of 
the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such 
capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions 
of Section 2.13(d). 
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable 
law, the parties to this Agreement shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any other party or 
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as 
opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, 
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions 
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, provided that, nothing in 
this Section 10.04(d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an 
Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages actually paid by such Indemnitee 
to a third party.  No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages 
arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it 
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with 
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except 
to the extent caused by such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as 
determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
(e) Payments.  All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable not later than ten 
Business Days after demand therefor. 
(f) Survival.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the 
Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments 
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
16188091_7 72
 10.05 Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the 
Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender 
exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is 
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including 
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be 
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief 
Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended 
to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been 
made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative 
Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative 
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per 
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Lenders 
under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the 
termination of this Agreement. 
10.06 Successors and Assigns. 
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding 
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted 
hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations 
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender 
may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible 
Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation 
in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment 
of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section, or (iv) to an SPC in 
accordance with the provisions of subsection (i) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or 
transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, 
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors 
and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to 
the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim 
under or by reason of this Agreement. 
(b) Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees 
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its 
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject 
to the following conditions: 
(i) Minimum Amounts. 
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the 
assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an 
assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum 
amount need be assigned; and 
(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the 
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding 
thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance 
of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of 
16188091_7 73
 the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to 
the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and 
Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the 
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 
the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or 
delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee 
Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single 
Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be 
treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum 
amount has been met. 
(ii) Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment 
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement 
with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;  
(iii) Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to 
the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably 
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is 
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an 
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed 
to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice 
to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice 
thereof; 
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be 
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that 
is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such 
Lender. 
(iv) Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and 
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing 
and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent 
may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any 
assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an 
Administrative Questionnaire. 
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made (A) to the 
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or 
any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute 
any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural person.   
(vi) Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and 
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and 
until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall 
16188091_7 74
 make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, 
upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the 
assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, 
with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of 
Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the 
applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all 
payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any 
Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full 
pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder 
shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this 
paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all 
purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.  
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this 
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible 
Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such 
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the 
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and 
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment 
and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such 
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 
3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of 
such assignment provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no 
assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder 
arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) 
shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights 
or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for 
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in 
accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.  
(c) Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 
agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the 
Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register 
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal 
amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the 
“Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the 
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register 
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding 
notice to the contrary.  In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information 
regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender.  The 
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and 
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
(d) Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the 
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a 
Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a 
16188091_7 75
 “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement 
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such 
Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely 
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the 
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in 
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.  
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide 
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, 
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument 
may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, 
waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such 
Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be 
entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the obligations of, Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same 
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this 
Section to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to 
paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions 
of Sections 3.06 and 10.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each Lender that 
sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate 
with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant.  To the 
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it 
were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.  
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the 
Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the 
principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations 
under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation 
to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any 
information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other 
obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is 
necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form 
under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant 
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is 
recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement 
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its 
capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any 
greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to 
receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to 
such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a 
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the 
Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the 
benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. 
16188091_7 76
 (f) Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all 
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations 
of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or 
any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment 
shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or 
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
(g) Certain Definitions.  As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings: 
“Assignee Group” means two or more Eligible Assignees that are Affiliates of one 
another or two or more Approved Funds managed by the same investment advisor 
“Eligible Assignee” means any Person that meets the requirements to be an assignee 
under Section 10.06(b)(iii), and (v) (subject to such consents, if any, as may be required 
under Section 10.06(b)(iii)). 
“Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in 
making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of 
credit in the ordinary course of its activities. 
“Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) 
an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a 
Lender. 
(h) Electronic Execution of Assignments.  An Assignment and Assumption may be signed 
electronically as provided in Section 10.19. 
(i) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained 
herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as 
such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower 
(an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise 
be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a 
commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or 
otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such 
Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative 
Agent as is required under Section 2.13(c)(ii).  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant 
to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise 
increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations 
under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under 
this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, 
including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan 
Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall 
utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by 
such Granting Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which 
agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one 
day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will 
not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, 
16188091_7 77
 reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or 
any State thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with 
notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment 
of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative 
Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any 
Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating 
to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or 
Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
10.07 Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to 
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that (a) Information may be 
disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates' Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such 
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep 
such Information confidential); (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory 
authority; (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal 
process; (iv) to any other party to this Agreement; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies 
hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the 
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions 
substantially the same as those of this Section, to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any 
prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; 
(vii) with the consent of the Borrower; (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly 
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative 
Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; (ix) to the 
National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization exercising regulatory 
authority over a Lender; (x) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in 
connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect 
to the credit facility provided hereunder; or (xi) any ratings agency; and (b) subject to an agreement 
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, Information other than the 
Projections (as hereinafter defined) may be disclosed to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or 
prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional 
advisor) to any swap or credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower.  In addition, 
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and general 
information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending 
industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the 
administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the 
Borrowings.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the 
Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower, or any officer, director, employee, counsel, or agent of 
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective 
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender 
on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower.  As used herein, “Projections” means all 
financial projections prepared by the Borrower and furnished to the Lenders in connection with this 
Agreement.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this 
Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the 
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its 
own confidential information. 
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may 
include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) 
it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it 
16188091_7 78
 will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal 
and state securities Laws. 
10.08 Set-off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon 
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates are 
authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being 
waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits 
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at 
any time owing by, such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower 
against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now 
or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have 
made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be 
contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or 
indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of 
setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further 
application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be 
segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the 
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the 
Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such 
Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender and its 
respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights 
of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify 
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or 
any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of 
such set-off and application. 
10.09 Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in 
any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the 
maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the 
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, 
the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, 
refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the 
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted 
by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium 
rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, 
allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated 
term of the Obligations hereunder. 
10.10 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each 
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same 
instrument. 
10.11 Integration.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises 
the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and 
supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter.  In the event of any conflict 
between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this 
Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the 
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this 
Agreement.  Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto 
and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair 
meaning thereof. 
16188091_7 79
 10.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties 
made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto 
or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such 
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each 
Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their 
behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or 
knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long 
as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.   
10.13 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is 
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining 
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and 
(b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable 
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the 
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall 
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the 
foregoing provisions of this Section 10.13, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in 
this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in 
good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the 
extent not so limited. 
10.14 Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, 
or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority 
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if the 
Borrower exercises its right to replace non-consenting Lenders pursuant to Section 10.01,  or if any other 
circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then 
the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative 
Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to 
the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and 
obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such 
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 
(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified 
in Section 10.06(b); 
(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding 
principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it 
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the 
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in 
the case of all other amounts); 
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation 
under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will 
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;  
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws;  
(e) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a non-consenting 
Lender pursuant to Section 10.01, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable 
amendment, assignment or consent; and 
16188091_7 80
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a 
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such 
assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
10.15 Governing Law. 
(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN 
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.  THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN

PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER

AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY 
OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS 
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY 
OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 
(c) WAIVER OF VENUE.  THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND 
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE 
LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF 
VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS 
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN

 NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO 
SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 
10.16 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.  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 ANY OTHER 
LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY 
(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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS 
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS 
SECTION. 
10.17 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each 
transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its 
Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or 
other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other 
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between 
the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers and 
Bookrunners, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and 
understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by 
the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); 
(ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and 
each Arranger and Bookrunner is and has been acting solely as a principal with respect to the financing 
contemplated hereby and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of its 
Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) none of the Administrative 
Agent, any Lender or any Arranger and Bookrunner has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or 
fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to any aspect of the financing contemplated 
hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other 
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or 
any Lender or Arranger and Bookrunner has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its 
Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Arranger and 
Bookrunner has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the financing 
contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; 
(iv) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers and Bookrunners and their respective 
Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of 
the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Arranger and 
Bookrunner has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or 
fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers and Bookrunners 
have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any 
of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof 
or of any other Loan Document) and the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and 
tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate.  The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the 
fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders 
and the Arrangers and Bookrunners with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary 
duty. 
16188091_7 82
 10.18 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.  Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter 
defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the 
Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed 
into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that 
identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other 
information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the 
Borrower in accordance with the Act.  The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the 
Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the 
Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under 
applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act. 
10.19 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.  The words 
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in 
any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include 
electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal 
effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based 
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, 
including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State 
Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic 
Transactions Act. 
10.20 No General Partner Liability.  No General Partner shall have personal liability as 
General Partner for the payment of any amount owing or to be owing hereunder or under the other Loan 
Documents. The Administrative Agent and Lenders agree that any claim against the Borrower which may 
arise under any Loan Document shall be made only against and shall be limited to the assets of the 
Borrower and any Guarantor, and that no judgment, order or execution entered in any suit, action or 
proceeding, whether legal or equitable, on this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be 
obtained or enforced against any General Partner or its assets for the purpose of obtaining satisfaction and 
payment of the Obligations.  Nothing in this Section 10.20, however, shall be construed so as to prevent 
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other holder of any Note from commencing any action, suit 
or proceeding with respect to or causing legal papers to be served upon any General Partner of the 
Borrower for the purpose of obtaining jurisdiction over the Borrower, and nothing in this Section 10.20 
shall be construed to modify or supersede any obligation of a General Partner to restore any negative 
balance in its capital account maintained by the Borrower pursuant to the Partnership Agreement upon 
liquidation of its interest in the Borrower. 
10.21 ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN 
DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY 
NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR 
SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN 
ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES. 
10.22 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement 
or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender 
that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is 
unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority 
and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 
16188091_7 83
 (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution 
Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an 
EEA 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 EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that 
may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of 
ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this 
Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the 
Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
