(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, (%4) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, or any successor thereto (including pursuant to the Accounting Standards Codification), to value any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein and (%4) any obligations of a Person under a lease (whether existing on the Amendment Effective Date or entered into thereafter) that is not (or would not be) required to be classified or accounted for as a Capitalized Lease Obligation on a balance sheet of such Person prepared in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the Amendment Effective Date shall not be treated as a Capitalized Lease Obligation pursuant to the Loan Documents solely as a result of changes in the application of, or the adoption of changes in, GAAP after the Amendment Effective Date; provided, further, that, if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Amendment Effective Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, where a calculation is required to be made on a pro forma basis, the historical income statement items and pro forma adjustments resulting from (x) the dispositions and repayments or incurrence of debt and (y)  in the Borrower’s sole discretion, the investments, acquisitions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and operational changes, in each case which occurred during the Test Period or subsequent to such Test Period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation is made, and to the extent projected in good faith and in a factually supportable manner by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be realized no later than 18 months after the consummation of any such transaction, the cost savings, operating expense reductions or cost or other synergies relating to any such transaction, shall be included; provided that to the extent so included, any such transaction (and the change in Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) shall be 


42









assumed to have occurred on the first day of the Test Period for purposes of such calculation.  Whenever pro forma effect is given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith and in a factually supportable manner by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower; provided, that no such amounts shall be included pursuant to this paragraph to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such period.  
(c)    For purposes of clarification, computations of financial ratios, financial tests and measurements that are financial in nature set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made as though the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ having entered into any Tax Incentive Program, and having transferred property in connection therewith, has not occurred.
SECTION 1.05.    Senior Debt Status.  In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time issue or have outstanding any Indebtedness that by its terms is subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall take or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to take, as the case may be, all such actions as shall be necessary to cause the Obligations to constitute senior indebtedness (however denominated) in respect of such subordinated Indebtedness and to enable the Lenders to have and exercise any payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to holders of senior indebtedness under the terms of such subordinated Indebtedness.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Obligations are hereby designated as “senior indebtedness” and as “designated senior indebtedness” under and in respect of any indentures or other agreements or instruments under which any such subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding and, if relevant, are further given all such other designations as shall be required under the terms of any such subordinated Indebtedness in order that the Lenders or the Administrative Agent may have and exercise any payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to holders of senior indebtedness under the terms of such subordinated Indebtedness.
SECTION 1.06.    Limited Condition Acquisitions.  
(a)    In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or Specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable (including, without limitation, for purposes of designating a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary), such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or Specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under the first sentence of this Section 1.06, and any Default, Event of Default or Specified Event of Default that occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such Default, Event of Default or Specified Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing solely for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder.


43









(b)    In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of:
(i)    determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.01 or calculation of the Leverage Ratio or Senior Secured Leverage Ratio; or
(ii)    testing baskets set forth in this Agreement (including provisions measured as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets);
in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations after such LCA Test Date in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations after such LCA Test Date in Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition or any applicable currency exchange rate, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.  If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Investments, Restricted Payments, Asset Sales, fundamental changes under Section 6.05 or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket (other than for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.01 as of the end of any fiscal quarter) shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

(A)     With respect to each Amendment Effective Date Converting Lender and subject to the terms and conditions of the Amendment Effective Date Lender Consent of such Amendment Effective Date Converting Lender, the outstanding amount of Original Term Loans of such Amendment Effective Date Converting Lender (or such lesser amount as the Joint Lead Arrangers may allocate pursuant to the Amendment Effective Date Lender Consent) shall be deemed to be exchanged for an equal outstanding amount of Amendment Effective Date Term Loans under this Agreement in accordance with such Amendment Effective Date Lender Consent.
(B)     The exchange of outstanding Original Term Loans for Amendment Effective Date Term Loans by Amendment Effective Date Converting Lenders shall be effected by book entry in such manner, and with such supporting documentation, as may be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, as more particularly described in the Amendment Effective Date Lender Consent.
(C)     Each Amendment Effective Date Participating Lender other than an Amendment Effective Date Converting Lender (except to the extent an Amendment Effective Date Converting Lender is purchasing Amendment Effective Date Term Loans in excess of its Original Term Loans), or a Lender fronting on its behalf (any such Lender, a “Fronting Bank”), shall severally advance Amendment Effective Date Term Loans in Dollars on the Amendment Effective Date in accordance with such Amendment Effective Date Participating Lender’s commitment to provide Amendment Effective Date Term Loans or such lesser amount as the Joint Lead Arrangers may allocate.  Such funding of Amendment Effective Date Term Loans shall be deemed, automatically and without further act by any Person, to constitute a simultaneous (i) Borrowing by the Borrower of Amendment Effective Date Term Loans hereunder, (ii) prepayment of Original Term Loans of Amendment Effective Date Non-Participating Lenders or Amendment Effective Date Exit Term Lenders, in each case, together with accrued interest and (iii) such Amendment Effective Date Participating Lenders shall be Lenders for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(D)    To the extent a Fronting Bank makes any Amendment Effective Date Term Loans, promptly following the Amendment Effective Date (but not later than 30 days following the Amendment Effective Date), each Amendment Effective Date Participating Lender (other than an Amendment Effective Date Converting Lender (except to the extent an Amendment Effective Date Converting Lender is purchasing Amendment Effective Date Term Loans in excess of its Original Term Loans)) shall purchase Amendment Effective Date Term Loans from the Fronting Bank as directed by the Joint Lead Arrangers in accordance with such Amendment Effective Date 


45









Participating Lender’s commitment in respect of Amendment Effective Date Term Loans and as allocated by the Joint Lead Arrangers.

(iv)    Amounts borrowed, converted or exchanged under this Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.  Amendment Effective Date Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.
(b)    Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Revolving Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in dollars in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding its Revolving Commitment or (ii) the sum of the aggregate Revolving Exposures exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.
SECTION 2.02.    Loans and Borrowings.  (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.
(b)    Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided that each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan.  Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not (i) affect the obligation of such Lender to make such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c)    At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided that a Eurodollar Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing.  At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) to the extent Borrowings may be used to finance 


46









such reimbursements.  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 at any time be more than a total of 20 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.
(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing of a Class of Loans if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date for such Class of Loans.

To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing.  Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable.  Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(ii)    the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(v)    the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06 or, in the case of any ABR Revolving Borrowing requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e), the identity of the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement and the location and number of its account to which funds are to be disbursed.
If no election as to the Type of a Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class and details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04.    Swingline Loans.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during any Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $25,000,000 or (ii) the aggregate Revolving Exposures exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(b)    To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of the proposed Swingline Loan.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan.  The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower.  The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower pursuant to instructions previously agreed upon between the Swingline Lender and the Borrower by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that in making any Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02.
(c)    The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligations under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loans acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loans shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender.  Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of 


48









a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear.  The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans (i) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, (ii) it does not in good faith believe that all conditions under Section 4.02 to the making of such Swingline Loan have been satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders or (iii) if any of the Revolving Lenders is a Defaulting Lender but, in the case of this clause (iii) only to the extent that (A) the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swingline Loan may not be reallocated pursuant to clause (a) of Section 2.21 or (B) other arrangements satisfactory to it and Borrower (including pursuant to clause (b) of Section 2.21) to eliminate such Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swingline Loan (including cash collateralization by the Borrower of such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of the outstanding Swingline Loans) have not been entered into.
SECTION 2.05.    Letters of Credit. (a) General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit for its own account or, so long as the Borrower is a joint and several co-applicant with respect thereto, for the account of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(b)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal and Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or send by facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the recipient) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of such Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as applicable (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, the account party for such Letter of Credit and such other information as shall be necessary to enable the applicable Issuing Bank to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.  If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the aggregate Revolving Exposures will not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments and (ii) the 


49









total LC Exposure will not exceed the LC Commitment; provided that clause (ii) shall not apply to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit that is a Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit solely insofar as the term thereof extends beyond the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans and (iii) the total LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank will not exceed $50,000,000 (or such other amount as may be agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion).  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower deemed to be made pursuant to Section 4.02.  Each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not permit any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit to occur unless it shall have given to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof required under paragraph (k) of this Section.
(c)    Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans; provided that (A) any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date shall be automatically extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not to a date later than the date set forth in clause (ii) above), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary by a specified time in advance of any such renewal; provided, further, that (1) the applicable Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension, or (2) in the event there is a Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, renew or extend any Letter of Credit to the extent (x) the Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under the Letter of Credit may not be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(a) or (y) the Issuing Bank has not otherwise entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower (including pursuant to Section 2.21(b)) to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of such LC Disbursement; and (B) any Letter of Credit may expire after the applicable date referred to in clause (ii) above if such Letter of Credit is, no later than 30 days before the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans, cash collateralized in an amount and manner and pursuant to documentation approved in writing by the applicable Issuing Bank (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as the “Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit”).
(d)    Participations.  (i) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof or upon the Amendment Effective Date in the case of each Existing Letter of Credit) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in 


50









furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this subparagraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subparagraph (i) above or in paragraph (e) below, in the event that on the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans any Letter of Credit shall be a Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit, then the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in, and no obligations with respect to, such Letter of Credit except to the extent of the LC Disbursements made thereunder on or prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to such Maturity Date.
(e)    Reimbursement.  (i) If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (A) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, or (B) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is not received prior to such time on any Business Day or is received on a day that is not a Business Day; provided that, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (A) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, or (B) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is not received prior to such time on any Business Day or is received on a day that is not a Business Day, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent requesting Revolving Lenders make Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans on such date in an amount in Dollars equal to such LC Disbursement, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.
(ii)    If the Borrower fails to make any payment described in subparagraph (i) above with respect to a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice and in no event later than one Business Day following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of the payment then due from the 


51









Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Lenders to the Borrower (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this subparagraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower in respect of any LC Disbursement, and in any event within one Business Day thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this subparagraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this subparagraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower (or any other account party in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit) of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f)    Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of an Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further 


52









investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g)    Disbursement Procedures.  Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it.  Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h)    Interim Interest.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse or refinance such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at a rate per annum (computed in accordance with Section 2.13(e)) equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment (it being agreed that the rate at which such interest shall be deemed to accrue for the account of the Revolving Lenders shall correspond to the rate at which, pursuant to the next preceding sentence, interest accrues on the portion of the applicable unreimbursed LC Disbursement equal to the product of (x) the amount of such LC Disbursement and (y) the sum of the Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentages of all the Revolving Lenders).
(i)    Termination of an Issuing Bank.  Any Issuing Bank may cease to be an Issuing Bank at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders of any such termination of an Issuing Bank.  At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12.  After the termination of an Issuing Bank hereunder, such Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j)    Additional Issuing Banks; Issuing Banks for Existing Letters of Credit.  The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and the designated Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an Issuing Bank under the terms of this Agreement, and any Lender so designated shall become an Issuing Bank hereunder.  Each Lender identified as an issuer of any of the Existing Letters of Credit identified on Schedule 2.05 shall be an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit issued by such Lender; 


53









provided, however, that unless such Lender is Barclays Bank PLC or a Lender designated as an Issuing Bank in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, such Lender shall have no obligation to issue any additional Letters of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend any Existing Letter of Credit) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(k)    Issuing Bank Reports.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amount thereof shall have changed), (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iii) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding on such Business Day.
(l)    Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of any Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 7.01.  The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11.  Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense (provided that such cash collateral shall be invested solely in investments that provide for preservation of capital), such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposures representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  If the Borrower is required to deposit cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower (i) within three Business Days after all 


54









Events of Default have been cured or waived or (ii) immediately after the payment and performance in full of all Obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.
(m)    Rights of Issuing Bank.  Each Issuing Bank shall, to the extent applicable, have all of the benefits and immunities provided to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any actions taken or not taken by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit.
SECTION 2.06.    Funding of Borrowings.  (a) Subject to Section 2.03, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the applicable Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as provided in writing by the Borrower; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.
(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing 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 paragraph (a) of this Section 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 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 (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the applicable Borrowing.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
SECTION 2.07.    Interest Elections.  (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.  Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any such Borrowing (or any part thereof) to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
(b)    To make an Interest Election Request pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type 


55









resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.  Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.
(c)    Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information:
(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly, and in no event later than one Business Day, following receipt of an Interest Election Request the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)    If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.08.    Termination and Reduction of Commitments.  (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments for a Class of Loans will terminate on the Maturity Date for such Class of Loans.
(b)    The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not 


56









terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans, the total Revolving Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.
(c)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce any Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, by delivering a Commitment Termination Notice to the Administrative Agent.  Promptly and in no event later than one Business Day following receipt of any Commitment Termination Notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Lenders and each Issuing Bank of the contents thereof.  Each Commitment Termination Notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a Commitment Termination Notice delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such Commitment Termination Notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders of such Class in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.
SECTION 2.09.    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Term Lender (x) the principal balance of the Term Loans in equal consecutive quarterly installments with each such installment equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding on the Amendment Effective Date, commencing on December 31, 2017 and on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year and (y) the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan on the Maturity date for Term Loans, (iii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender of any Class of Additional Tranche Term Loans the then unpaid principal amount of each Additional Tranche Term Loan of such Class as provided in the applicable Additional Tranche Term Loan Amendment and (iv) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender and any applicable Revolving Lenders, all Swingline Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swingline Loans on the earlier of (x) the date which is 10 Business Days after the incurrence thereof and (y) the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments.
(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class, if applicable, and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.


57









(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)    Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note.  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
SECTION 2.10.    [Intentionally Omitted].
SECTION 2.11.    Prepayment of Loans; Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit.  (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section and payment of any amounts required under Section 2.16; provided, that each such partial repayment shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.
(b)    In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall promptly prepay Revolving Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
(c)    In the event and on each occasion that (i) any Net Proceeds are received or held by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (c) of the definition of such term, within 10 Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, (ii)  any Net Proceeds are received or held by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of such term, within one Business Day after such Net Proceeds are received, and (iii) any proceeds are received or held by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (d) of the definition of such term, within 10 Business Days, in each case, only to the extent that Term Loans are outstanding on the date such prepayment is required to be made, the Borrower shall prepay Borrowings in accordance with and subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Applicable Prepayment Amount of such Net Proceeds.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Prepayment Event referred to in clause (a) or (c) of the definition of such term, if the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of such Prepayment Event a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such Prepayment Event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 365 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire Syndicated Interests or real property, equipment or other assets to be used in the business of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then 


58









no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Proceeds (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied by the end of the applicable time period (or committed to be applied by the end of the applicable time period and applied within 180 days after the end of the applicable time period), at which applicable time, a prepayment shall be required (to the extent not already made) in an amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Amount.  
(d)    All amounts required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be applied to the prepayment of any Term Loan Borrowings (and ratably as between the Term Loan Borrowings of different Classes); except that amounts allocable to any Additional Tranche Term Loan Borrowings may be applied to other Term Loan Borrowings as provided in the applicable Additional Tranche Term Loan Amendment.  Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid, and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section.
(e)    In connection with any prepayment or cash collateralization of Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrower shall deliver  the Administrative Agent a Prepayment Notice (i) in the case of a prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing or cash collateralization of a Letter of Credit, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or cash collateralization.  Each Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment or cash collateralization date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment or cash collateralization, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment or cash collateralization; provided, that if a Prepayment Notice with respect to an optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional Commitment Termination Notice as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such Prepayment Notice may be revoked if such Commitment Termination Notice is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08.   Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.  Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
SECTION 2.12.    Fees.  (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate, on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate; provided, that (i) any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall be payable by the Borrower so long as such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time of such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender and (ii) no commitment 


59









fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.  Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the last of the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date.  All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lender and the portion of the LC Exposure of such Lender attributable to such its Revolving Commitment (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).
(b)    The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to the portion of the LC Exposure of such Lender attributable to its Revolving Commitment, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such portion of the LC Exposure of such Lender attributable to its Revolving Commitment (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the LC Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as each Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the LC Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the LC Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(c)    In addition to any of the foregoing fees, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such other fees (including administrative agency fees) payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(d)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to each Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.


60









SECTION 2.13.    Interest.  (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b)    The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any LC Disbursement or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, (ii) in the case of overdue unreimbursed amounts with respect to any LC Disbursement, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05 or (iii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the highest rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.
(d)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the applicable Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e)    All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.14.    Alternate Rate of Interest.
(a)    If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(i)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or
(ii)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Lenders with a majority in principal amount of the Commitments or Loans of any Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;


61









then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders of such Class by as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders of such Class that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing of such Class to, or continuation of any Borrowing of such Class as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing of such Class, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
(b)    If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have risen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate shall not longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Adjusted LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.  Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(b), only to the extent the Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such term on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
SECTION 2.15.    Increased Costs.  (a) 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 by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank; or
(ii)    impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, 


62









issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, after receipt of the certificate provided by such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.15, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered in the amount set forth in the certificate of such Lender delivered pursuant to clause (c) below.
(b)    If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then, after receipt of the certificate provided by such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.15, from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270‐day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 2.16.    Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(e) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period 


63









applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.17.    Taxes.  (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall withhold or deduct an amount equal to such Taxes and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
(b)    In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)    Without limiting or duplicating the provisions of clause (a) above, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than those resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation and basis for such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


64









(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e)    Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower and 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), including the following, if applicable and, in all cases, only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so: (i) duly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, or (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law, as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
(f)    If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, but in each case only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (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 paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or a Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) to the extent the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or a Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or a Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and 


65









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 Section 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 which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(g)    If any Governmental Authority shall determine that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold any Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or any of its Related Parties (each a “Recipient”) (whether because such Recipient failed to deliver or to complete properly any form or to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that affected its exemption from withholding or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as a result of such determination, including any penalties or interest assessed by such Governmental Authority, and including Taxes imposed on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph, together with all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto.
(h)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States 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 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 the purposes of this paragraph, FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
SECTION 2.18.    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.  (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein shall be so made and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.  All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.


66









(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary 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 participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph 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 set-off 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.
(d)    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 or any Issuing Bank 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 or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(d) or 2.05(e), 2.06(b) or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion 


67









(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
(f)    In the event that any financial statement or certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 shall prove to have been inaccurate (regardless of whether the Commitments are in effect or any Loans or Letters of Credit are outstanding when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy shall have resulted in the payment of any interest or fees at rates lower than those that were in fact applicable for any period (based on the Borrower’s actual Leverage Ratio), then the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected financial statement or certificate, as the case may be, and pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders (or former Lenders) as their interests may appear, the accrued interest or fees that should have been paid but were not paid as a result of the inaccuracy of such financial statement or certificate (it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under Section 2.13(c) or Section 7.01).
SECTION 2.19.    Mitigation Obligations.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, 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 2.17, 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 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) 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 and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
SECTION 2.20.    Additional Loans and Commitments.  (a) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders or other financial institutions may on one or more occasions, and without the consent of any other Lender, amend this Agreement to provide for (i) new Additional Tranche Term Loans of such Lenders or other financial institutions of one or more additional Classes or (ii) an increase to the existing Revolving Commitments (any Lender or other financial institution making a new Additional Tranche Term Loan or extending a new Term Commitment or Revolving Commitment pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above being called an “Incremental Lender”); provided that (A) in the case of any Additional Tranche Term Loans established or any Additional Revolving Commitments established pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, the aggregate principal amount thereof shall not exceed the Permitted Incremental Amount at such time plus Additional Tranche Term Loans and Additional Revolving Commitments so long as after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis (assuming for purposes thereof that any Term Commitments and such Additional Revolving Commitments have been fully drawn), the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in compliance with a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of not greater than 3.25:1.00, (B) each Incremental Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an Incremental Lender establishing an Additional Revolving Commitment, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, 


68









(C) no Lender shall be required to participate in the Additional Tranche Term Loans or the Additional Revolving Commitments and (D) the aggregate principal amount of the new Additional Tranche Term Loans being established or the Additional Revolving Commitments being established on any one occasion pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000 (or shall equal the maximum amount of new Additional Tranche Term Loans or Additional Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, at the time permitted to be made or established under clause (A) of this proviso).
(b)    In connection with any new Class of Additional Tranche Term Loans established pursuant to clause (i) of paragraph (a) of this Section, the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Class of Additional Tranche Term Loans and the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver an amendment agreement (an “Additional Tranche Term Loan Amendment”) setting forth, to the extent applicable, the following terms of such Additional Tranche Term Loans: (i) the designation of such Class, which shall be specified by the Administrative Agent, (ii) the maturity or termination date applicable to the Additional Tranche Term Loans or Commitments of such Class, (iii) any amortization applicable to the Additional Tranche Term Loans of such Class, (iv) the interest rate or rates applicable to the Additional Tranche Term Loans of such Class, (v) the fees applicable to the Additional Tranche Term Loans or Commitments of such Class, (vi) any original issue discount applicable to Additional Tranche Term Loans or Commitments of such Class, (vii) the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable to Additional Tranche Term Loans or Commitments of such Class and (viii) any voluntary or mandatory prepayment requirements or Commitment reductions applicable to Additional Tranche Term Loans or Commitments of such Class (which, to the extent applicable, shall be consistent with Sections 2.08(b), 2.11(a) and 2.11(e)) and any restrictions on the voluntary or mandatory prepayment or reduction of Additional Tranche Term Loans or Commitments of Classes established after such Class, and implementing such additional amendments to this Agreement as shall be appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the foregoing terms and to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to the Additional Tranche Term Loans of such Class, and such amendment will be effective to amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on the terms set forth therein without the consent of any other Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender.  Except as contemplated by the preceding sentence, the terms of each new Class of Additional Tranche Term Loans established under this Section shall be the same as those of the Term Loans existing at the time such new Class is established.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) except as provided in clauses (i) through (viii) above, no Additional Tranche Term Loan Amendment shall alter the rights of any Lender (other than the Incremental Lenders) in a manner that would not be permitted under Section 9.02 without the consent of such Lender unless such consent shall have been obtained, (ii) no Additional Tranche Term Loans shall (A) have a Maturity Date earlier than the Maturity Date of an outstanding Class of Term Loans without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority of the principal amount of the Term Loans of such Class or (B) have an average life to maturity shorter than the average life to maturity of an outstanding Class of Term Loans without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority of the principal amount of the Loans of such Class and (iii) if, prior to the date that is twelve months after the Amendment Effective Date, the initial yield on Eurodollar Term Loans (which shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and shall equal the sum of (x) the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such Additional Tranche Term Loans and (y) if such Additional Tranche Term Loans are initially made or established at a discount or the Lenders 


69









making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from the Borrower or any Subsidiary for making or establishing such Additional Tranche Term Loans (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of such Additional Tranche Term Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by four) exceeds by more than 75 basis points (the amount of such excess above 75 basis points being referred to in each case as the “Yield Differential”), the Applicable Rate then in effect for Eurodollar Loans of the Term Loans, then the Applicable Rate in effect for such Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the applicable Yield Differential, effective upon the making of new Additional Tranche Term Loans.
(c)    In connection with any establishment of Additional Revolving Commitments pursuant to clause (ii) of paragraph (a) of this Section, the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Additional Revolving Commitments and the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver an agreement (an “Additional Revolving Commitment Amendment”) amending Schedule 2.01 to reflect such Additional Revolving Commitments and implementing such additional amendments to this Agreement as shall be appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to such Additional Revolving Commitments and the extensions of credit made pursuant thereto, and such amendment will be effective to amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on the terms set forth therein without the consent of any other Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender.  The terms of any such Additional Revolving Commitments and the extensions of credit made pursuant thereto shall be identical to those of the other Revolving Commitments and the extensions of credit made pursuant thereto.
(d)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Additional Tranche Term Loan Amendment and each Additional Revolving Commitment Amendment.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 1.06, no new Loans or Commitments shall be made or established under this Section (including through the conversion of existing Loans or Commitments) unless (i) on the date such Loans are made or the date such Commitments become effective, (x) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied, (y) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.01 both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such new Loans or Commitments, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates and documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent consistent with those delivered on the Amendment Effective Date pursuant to Section 4.01.
(f)    Upon the making of any Additional Tranche Term Loan or the effectiveness of any Additional Revolving Commitment of any Incremental Lender that is not already a Lender pursuant to this Section, such Incremental Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” (and a Lender in respect of Loans and Commitments of the applicable Class) hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Loans and Commitments of the applicable Class) hereunder and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and 


70









other obligations of Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Loans and Commitments of the applicable Class) hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the effectiveness of an Additional Revolving Commitment of any Incremental Lender, such Incremental Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, on the terms set forth in Section 2.05, participations in outstanding Letters of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage.
(g)    Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all actions that it deems necessary or advisable to ensure that, after giving effect to any Additional Revolving Commitments established pursuant to clause (ii) of paragraph (a) of this Section, the outstanding Revolving Loans are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentages.  This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent (i) by requiring outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Borrowing, (ii) by permitting the Revolving Borrowings outstanding at the time of any increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section to remain outstanding until the last days of the respective Interest Periods therefor, even though the applicable Revolving Lenders would hold such Revolving Borrowings other than in accordance with their new Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentages, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing.  Any prepayment described in this paragraph shall be subject to Section 2.16, but otherwise shall be without premium or penalty.
SECTION 2.21.    Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent there is an obligation of a Lender to acquire participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit at the time a Lender having a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(a)    all or any part of such commitment to acquire participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent (i) the sum of the non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of the Revolving Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of Revolving Exposure do not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments, (ii) the amount reallocated to any such non-Defaulting Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s unutilized Revolving Commitment and (iii) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time;
(b)    if the reallocation described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall (i) first, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, prepay any outstanding Swingline Loans to the extent the Swingline Loan Commitments related thereto have not been reallocated pursuant to clause (a) above and (ii) second, within five Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of the LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) for so long as such LC Commitment is outstanding; and
(c)    if the Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of the non-Defaulting Lenders' LC Exposure is reallocated pursuant to clause (a) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant

SECTION 2.22.    Removal or Replacement of a Lender.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under 2.15 or 2.17, (ii) the circumstances which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender and such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 9.02, the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to one or more assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.04 and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from a Terminated Lender; provided, that (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.12; (2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17 or otherwise 


72









as if it were a prepayment and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non‐Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non‐Consenting Lender; provided, that the Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also the Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, the Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled or cash collateralized or supported by a backup letter of credit in each case on terms reasonably acceptable to such Terminated Lender.  Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitment, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder arising with respect to events occurring prior to such termination shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.  Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 9.04.  In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.04 on behalf of a Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 9.04.

The provisions of this Section 8.01 (other than as expressly provided herein) are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and no Loan Party shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Section 8.01 (other than as expressly provided herein).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents and the Joint Bookrunners are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agent and the Joint Bookrunners shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents and all of the other benefits of this Section 8.01.  Each of the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners, without consent of or notice to any party hereto, may assign any and all of its rights or obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates.  Without limitation of the foregoing, neither the Joint Lead 


104









Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents nor the Joint Bookrunners in their respective capacities as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Loan Party or any other Person.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent 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 or Collateral Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.
The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agents shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances, as provided in Section 9.02) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions and shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agents shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) under or in connection with any Loan Document or (ii) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).  Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
Each 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  Each Agent also may rely 


105









upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by them, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it.  Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through its respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agents 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 and Collateral Agent.  All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this paragraph and of Section 9.03 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Related Parties were named herein.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each such sub-agent appointed by an Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third-party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third-party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) of such sub-agent shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.
Each Lender, in proportion to its Applicable Aggregate Percentage, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, to the extent that such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall not have been reimbursed by any Loan Party (and without limiting its obligation to do so), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s, Issuing Bank’s Swingline Lender’s, as applicable gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  If any indemnity furnished to any Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may call for additional 


106









indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage thereof; and provided, further, that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.
The Administrative Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower and the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earlier of (i) the acceptance of such successor Administrative Agent by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or (ii) the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation.  Upon any such notice of resignation, if a successor Administrative Agent has not already been appointed by the retiring Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower.  If neither the Required Lenders nor the Administrative Agent have appointed a successor Administrative Agent, then the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided, that until a successor Administrative Agent is so appointed by Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, by notice to the Borrower and Required Lenders, may retain its role as the Collateral Agent under any Security Document.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring the Administrative Agent and the retiring the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held under the Security Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Security Documents, whereupon such retiring the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  Except as provided above, any resignation of Barclays Bank or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall also constitute the resignation of Barclays Bank or its successor as the Collateral Agent.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.01 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent hereunder.  Any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this paragraph shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder.  If Barclays Bank or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph has resigned as Administrative Agent but retained its role as Collateral Agent and no successor Collateral Agent has become the Collateral Agent 


107









pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Barclays Bank or its successor may resign as Collateral Agent upon notice to the Borrower and Required Lenders at any time.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its respective Related Parties that at any time acted as a sub-agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
Any resignation of Barclays Bank or its successor as the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall also constitute the resignation of Barclays Bank or its successor as the Swingline Lender, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.01 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Swingline Lender for all purposes hereunder.  In such event (a) the Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swingline Loans made by the retiring Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swingline Lender, (b) upon such prepayment, the retiring the Administrative Agent and Swingline Lender shall surrender any Swingline Note held by it to the Borrower for cancellation and (c) the Borrower shall issue, if so requested by the successor Administrative Agent and the Swingline Loan Lender, a new Swingline Note to the successor Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, in the principal amount of the Swingline Loan then in effect and with other appropriate insertions.
In addition to the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the Loan Parties.  The Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution as Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower and the Required Lenders and the Collateral Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earlier of (a) the acceptance of such successor Collateral Agent by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or (b) the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation.  Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to appoint a successor Collateral Agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, the successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Security Documents, and the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder or under the Security Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Security Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created under the Security Documents, whereupon such retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Security Documents.  After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Security Documents while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder.  


108









Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender 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 either Agent or any other Lender 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, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption and funding its Loans or by the funding of any new Class of Additional Tranche Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Amendment Effective Date or as of the date of funding of such Additional Tranche Term Loans.
Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents; provided, that, except as expressly set forth herein, neither Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations.  Subject to Section 9.02, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable may execute any documents or instruments (i) necessary to in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.02) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Subsidiary Loan Party from the Guarantee in accordance with Section 9.13 or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.02) have otherwise consented.
Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, each Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, 


109









to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.
No Swap Agreement shall create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Lender Counterparty that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Subsidiary Loan Party under the Loan Documents except as expressly provided in the Collateral and Guarantee Agreement.  By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, such Lender Counterparty shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable and obligations under Swap Agreements not yet due and payable) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired or been cancelled and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (or if any Letter of Credit remains outstanding, each such Letter of Credit shall have been backstopped or cash collateralized to the satisfaction of the Issuing Bank), upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender or any Lender Counterparty) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document.  Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of  the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax.  If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, 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) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or 


110









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 other Secured Parties (including fees, disbursements and other expenses of counsel) 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.  Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent.  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 other Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or other Secured Party to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of such Person or in any such proceeding.

(c)    The Platform.  THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT 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 IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.

(d)    Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

(e)    Reliance by Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks and Lenders.

The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, 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.


112









SECTION 9.02.    Waivers; Amendments.  (a) No failure or delay by either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b)    None of this Agreement, any Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall, other than as expressly stated herein (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (vi) release all or substantially all Subsidiary Loan Parties from their Guarantees under the Collateral and Guarantee Agreement (except as expressly provided in Section 9.13), limit their liability in respect of such Guarantees or amend Section 5.02 of the Collateral and Guarantee Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents without the written consent of each Lender or (viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of collateral or payments due to Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any Class differently than those holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class; 


113









provided, further, that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be and (y) no such agreement shall amend, modify or waive this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, Section 5.02 of the Collateral and Guarantee Agreement) so as to alter the ratable treatment of Obligations arising under the Loans Documents and Obligations arising under Swap Agreements or the definition of “Lender Counterparty”, “Swap Agreement”, “Obligations”, “Secured Party” or “Secured Obligations” (as such terms (or terms with similar meanings) are defined in this Agreement or any applicable Loan Document), in each case in a manner adverse to any Lender Counterparty without the written consent of any such Lender Counterparty.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if its rights or obligations are affected thereby, each Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender) if (x) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (y) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.02, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders and any Issuing Bank.  Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
SECTION 9.03.    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

117









information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws;
(E)    in the case of an assignment by a Lender to a CLO (as defined below) managed by such Lender or by an Affiliate of such Lender, unless such assignment (or an assignment to a CLO managed by the same manager or an Affiliate of such manager) shall have been approved by the Borrower (the Borrower hereby agreeing that such approval, if requested, will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, except that the Assignment and Assumption between such Lender and such CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such CLO; and
(F)    no assignment shall be made (1) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (2) 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 (E), or (3) to a natural person.
For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “CLO” have the following meanings:
“Approved Fund” means with respect to any Lender that is a fund which invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.

(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a 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 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 paragraph (c) of this Section.


118









(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount and any stated interest of the Loans and LC Disbursements 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, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall 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.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Banks and any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender's Loans), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c)    (i)  Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  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, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.
(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with 


119









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 2.17 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 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.
(iii)    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.
(d)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank in the European Union or the United Kingdom, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 9.05.    Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments  delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided 


120









to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.05(d) or 2.05(e).  The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Section 8.01 and the last sentence of the definition of the term “Applicable Rate” shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 9.06.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, except that the provisions of any commitment and fee letters between the Borrower and the other Persons serving as Agents or named on the cover page of this Agreement that by the express terms of such commitment letter or fee letter are to survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be superseded hereby.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic submission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.07.    Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08.    Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, 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 and other obligations at any time owing by such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured or contingent or are owed to a branch or office of such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Lender different from the bank or office holding such 


121









deposit or obligated on such obligation.  The rights of each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and such Lender may have.

The Lenders and the Issuing Banks acknowledge that obligations of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries under the Pari Passu Indebtedness and the Pari Passu Indebtedness Documents, and certain obligations related thereto, will be secured by Liens on assets of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries that constitute Pari Passu Indebtedness Collateral.  At the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall enter into (a) such amendments as the Administrative Agent shall determine to be appropriate to the Security Documents to cause the Pari Passu Indebtedness to be secured on an equal and ratable basis with the other Obligations (as defined in the Collateral and Guarantee Agreement) and (b) the Intercreditor Agreement establishing the relative rights of the Secured Parties and of the secured parties under the Pari Passu Indebtedness with respect to the Pari Passu Indebtedness Collateral.  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably (a) consents to the pari passu treatment of Liens to be provided for under the amended Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) authorizes and directs each Agent to execute and deliver the amendments to the Security Documents, the Intercreditor 


125









Agreement and any documents relating thereto, in each case on behalf of such Lender or such Issuing Bank and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, (c) agrees that, upon the execution and delivery thereof, such Lender or such Issuing Bank will be bound by the provisions of the amended Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (d) agrees that no Lender or Issuing Bank shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of any action taken by any Agent pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further irrevocably authorizes and directs each Agent to enter into such amendments, supplements or other modifications to the Intercreditor Agreement in connection with any extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement of any Loans or any Pari Passu Indebtedness as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to give effect thereto, in each case on behalf of such Lender or such Issuing Bank and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender or such Issuing Bank.  Each Agent shall have the benefit of the provisions of Article VIII with respect to all actions taken by it pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to the full extent thereof.
SECTION 9.17.    Confirmation of Loan Documents; No Novation.

In addition, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors hereby confirm that they have entered into this Agreement solely to amend and restate the terms of the Existing Senior Secured Credit Agreement.  Each of the parties hereto that is also a party to the Existing Senior Secured Credit Agreement and each of the Guarantors do not intend this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to be, and this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be construed to be, a novation of any of the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Senior Secured Credit Agreement) owing by the Borrower or any Guarantor under or in connection with the Existing Senior Secured Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Senior Secured Credit Agreement).
SECTION 9.18.    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 EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such 


126









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:

Each Authorized Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of any First Lien Credit Document to the contrary (but subject to Section 2.02), if (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties is taking action to enforce rights or exercise remedies in respect of any Shared Collateral, (ii) any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or (iii) such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties receives any payment with respect to any Shared Collateral pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement), then the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Shared Collateral obtained by such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties on account of such enforcement of rights or exercise of remedies, and any such distributions or payments received by such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties (all such proceeds, distributions and payments being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied as follows:

[Exhibit C - Intercreditor Agreement]


C - 9









due and payable (the amounts so applied to be distributed ratably in accordance with the amounts of the First Lien Obligations of each such Class on the date of such application); provided that amounts applied under this clause SECOND during any period when the First Lien Obligations of any such Class shall not be due and payable in full shall be allocated to the First Lien Obligations of such Class as if such First Lien Obligations were at the time due and payable in full, and any amounts allocated to the payment of the First Lien Obligations of such Class that are not yet due and payable shall be transferred to, and held by, the Authorized Representative of such Class solely as collateral for the First Lien Obligations of such Class (and shall not constitute Shared Collateral for purposes hereof) until the date on which the First Lien Obligations of such Class shall have become due and payable in full (at which time such amounts shall be applied to the payment thereof); and
(iii)    THIRD, after payment in full of all the First Lien Obligations, to the Company and the other Grantors or their successors or assigns, as their interests may appear, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
It is acknowledged that the First Lien Obligations of any Class may, subject to the limitations set forth in the First Lien Credit Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, Refinanced or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in Section 2.01(a) or the provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the Secured Parties of any Class.

C - 10









be deemed to be an Impairment of First Lien Obligations of any Class. In the event an Impairment exists with respect to First Lien Obligations of any Class, the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the Secured Parties of such Class, and the rights of the Secured Parties of such Class (including the right to receive distributions in respect of First Lien Obligations of such Class pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the results of such Impairment are borne solely by the Secured Parties of such Class.

Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Collateral Agent may enter into any amendment or other modification to any First Lien Security Document so long as the Collateral Agent receives a certificate of the Company stating that such amendment or other modification is permitted by the terms of the First Lien Credit Documents of each Class and (ii) the Collateral Agent may enter into any amendment or other modification to any First Lien Security Document solely as such First Lien Security Document relates to First Lien Obligations of a particular Class so long as (A) such amendment or modification is in accordance with the First Lien Credit Documents of such Class and (B) such amendment or modification does not adversely affect the interests of the Secured Parties of any other Class.

If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, all or part of any payment with respect to the First Lien Obligations of any Class previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law), then the terms and conditions of Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all the First Lien Obligations of such Class shall again have been paid in full in cash.

(i)    Refinancings. The First Lien Obligations of any Class may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of any Secured Party of any other Class, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall affect any limitation on any such Refinancing that is set forth in the First Lien Credit Documents of any such other Class; and provided further that, if any obligations of the Grantors in respect of such Refinancing indebtedness shall be secured by Liens on any Shared Collateral, then such obligations and the holders thereof shall be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed an Additional Authorized Representative Joinder Agreement.
(j)    Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. The Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral that is part of the Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section.
