ARTICLE II




THE CREDITS



          SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a)
each L/C Tranche Lender agrees to make L/C Tranche Loans to one or more of the Borrowers from time
to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i)
such Lender’s L/C Tranche Exposure exceeding such Lender’s L/C Tranche Commitment or (ii) the total
L/C Tranche Exposures exceeding the total L/C Tranche Commitments and (b) each RC Tranche Lender
agrees to make RC Tranche Loans to one or more of the Borrowers from time to time during the
Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s RC
Tranche Exposure exceeding such Lender’s RC Tranche Commitment or (ii) the total RC Tranche
Exposures exceeding the total RC Tranche Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans
under each Tranche.




          SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings.




          (a) Obligations of Lenders. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting
of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments of the applicable Class. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrowings may at the option of
the applicable Borrower be requested, and Loans may be made and remain outstanding, on a non-pro
rata basis as between the Tranches. 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) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.11, each Borrowing shall be comprised
entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the applicable Borrower may request in accordance
herewith. 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 affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.




          (c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. At the commencement of the
Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in
an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000. At the time that each
ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $10,000,000 or a
larger multiple of $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount
that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of the applicable Class or that
is required to finance the reimbursement of an Unreimbursed Amount as contemplated by Section
2.20(c)(i). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be


Four-Year Credit Agreement











 



- 30 -



outstanding at the same time;
provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten Eurodollar Borrowings
outstanding.




          (d) Limitations on Lengths of Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert to or continue
as a Eurodollar Borrowing, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after
the Commitment Termination Date.




          SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, a Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of
the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative
Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by
the applicable Borrower and (if such Borrower is not the Company) the Company. Each such
telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.02:





     (i) the identity of the applicable Borrower;




     (ii) the relevant Tranche under which such Borrowing is to be made;




     (iii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;




     (iv) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;




     (v) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;




     (vi) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall
be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and




     (vii) the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which funds are
to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04.


If no election as to the Type of 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 applicable 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 relevant Lender of the details thereof and
of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.




          SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings.




          (a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder
on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon (or, in
the case of an ABR Borrowing, 2:00 p.m.), New York City time, to the


Four-Year Credit Agreement











 



- 31 -



account of the Administrative
Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative
Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts
so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower or the Company maintained with the
Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request.




          (b) Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time 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 applicable 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 agrees 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 such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent (the
“Compensation Period”), at the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to
time in effect and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative
Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. If such
Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the
Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the applicable Borrower, and such Borrower
shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the
Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable
Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its
Commitments or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower
may have against any other Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.




          SECTION 2.05. Interest Elections.




          (a) Elections by Borrowers for Borrowings. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the
Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing,
shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or
to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section. Such 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 constituting
such Borrowing, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing.




          (b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a
Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing
of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each
such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be


Four-Year Credit Agreement











 



- 32 -



confirmed promptly by
hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a
form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by such Borrower and (if such Borrower is not
the Company) the Company.




          (c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest
Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:





     (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) of this paragraph 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 a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor
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 applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period
of one month’s duration.




          (d) Notice by Administrative Agent to Lenders. Promptly 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) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver
a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the
Interest Period therefor, 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
Company, 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 therefor.


Four-Year Credit Agreement

          SECTION 2.06. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.




          (a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall
terminate on the Commitment Termination Date. Unless the Closing Date shall have occurred at or
prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 15, 2011, this Agreement and the Commitments
shall automatically terminate at such time.




          (b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Company may at any time terminate the
Commitments of any Class or from time to time reduce the Commitments of any Class; provided
that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is $10,000,000
or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the
Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in
accordance with Section 2.08, the total Credit Exposure with respect to such Class would exceed the
total Commitments of such Class. Notwithstanding the termination of the Commitments, this
Agreement shall not terminate, and the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect until such time as all principal of or accrued interest on the
Loans, all Unreimbursed Amounts and all fees and other amounts payable under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit are outstanding.




          (c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Company shall notify the
Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under
paragraph (b) of this Section at least two Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments of any Class delivered by the
Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (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 in accordance
with their respective Commitments of such Class.




          SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.




          (a) Repayment. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Loans made
to such Borrower on the Commitment Termination Date.




          (b) Maintenance of Loan Accounts by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender by such Borrower from time to time
hereunder.


Four-Year Credit Agreement











 



- 34 -




          (c) Maintenance of Loan Accounts by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made to a Borrower
hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from any Borrower to each Lender
hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for
account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.




          (d) Effect of Entries. 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 Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the records of the Administrative Agent and the
records of a Lender, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control absent manifest error.




          (e) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it to
any Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, such Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by
such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) substantially in the form of Exhibit C or
any other form approved by 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 2.08. Prepayment of Loans.




          (a) Optional Prepayments. Each applicable Borrower shall have the right at any time
and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing under any Tranche made to such Borrower in whole or
in part, subject to the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section. For the avoidance of doubt,
Borrowings may at the option of the applicable Borrower be prepaid on a non-pro rata basis as
between the Tranches.




          (b) Notices, Etc. The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of

prepayment of any ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of
prepayment (which shall be a Business Day). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the Class, the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in
connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments of any Class as contemplated
by Section 2.06, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is
revoked in accordance with Section 2.06. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to
a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof.

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 2.10, together with

the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Without duplication of amounts payable under the
preceding sentence, while any Event of Default pursuant to clause (g) or (h) of Article VII exists
and, upon request by the Required Lenders, while any other Event of Default exists, the applicable
Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans made to such Borrower
at a rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.




          (d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan of any Class shall be payable
in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments of
such Class; 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 Loan prior to the Commitment Termination Date), 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 Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest
Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such
conversion.




          (e) Computation. 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 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing of any Class:





     (a) the Administrative Agent 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




Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 37 -



     (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders under the applicable
Tranche 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;


then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the relevant Lenders by
telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, (i) 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 (ii) if any
Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR
Borrowing.




          SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs.





     (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:




     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
deposit insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected
in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);




     (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or
expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;




     (iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) FATCA, (B) Indemnified Taxes
and (C) Other Connection Taxes on gross or net income, profits, franchise or revenues or
taxes in lieu thereof (including value-added or similar Taxes)) on its Loans (including
principal amount thereof), Letters of Credit (or participations in Letters of Credit),
Commitments or other obligations hereunder, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or
capital attributable thereto; or




     (iv) cause or deem Letters of Credit to be held on the books of any Lender as assets
and/or deposits;


and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lenders or such other
Recipient of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make
any such Loan), to increase the cost to such Lenders or such other Recipient of its obligation to
issue or participate in, or of issuing, maintaining or participating in, any Letter of Credit or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Company will pay to
such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.




          (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding
capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 38 -



return on
such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement or the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued (or participated in) by such
Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved
but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company
will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.




          (c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as
specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.




          (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to
demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a
Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days
prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include
the period of retroactive effect thereof.




          SECTION 2.13. 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 therefor
(including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other
than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue
or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of
whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.08(b) and is revoked in accordance
therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such
event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable
to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the
excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the
principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or
assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow,
convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such
borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to
the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender
would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal
amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an Affiliate of
such Lender) for Dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of
such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and (if
such Borrower is not the Company) the Company and shall be





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 39 -



conclusive absent manifest error. Such
Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.




          SECTION 2.14. Taxes.




          (a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan
Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by
any Law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that
it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely
pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable Law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party
shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding
applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the
amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.




          (b) Payment of Other Taxes by Loan Parties. Each Loan Party shall timely pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.




          (c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party 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.




          (d) Indemnification by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally
indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in
connection with any Loan Document (including amounts payable under this Section 2.14(d)) and any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The
indemnity under this Section 2.14(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to
any Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so payable by such
Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be
conclusive of the amount so payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of
such certificate to the Administrative Agent. In the case of any Lender making a claim under this
Section 2.14(d) on behalf of any of its beneficial owners, an indemnity
payment under this Section 2.14(d) shall be due only to the extent that such Lender is able to
establish that, with respect to the applicable Indemnified Taxes, such beneficial owners supplied
to the applicable Persons such properly completed and executed documentation necessary to claim any
applicable exemption from, or reduction of, such Indemnified Taxes.




          (e) Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent
that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes
and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and the Loan Parties for any
Excluded Taxes, in each case attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 40 -



by the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Loan Party (as applicable) in connection with any Loan
Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Taxes or Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.14(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Loan Party (as applicable) delivers to the applicable Lender
a certificate stating the amount of Taxes or Excluded Taxes so paid or payable by the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Loan Party (as applicable). Such certificate shall be
conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.




          (f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or
reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time such Lender becomes a Lender
hereunder or at times prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Law or
reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be
made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding, unless a Change in Law prevents such Lender
from legally being able to complete, execute or deliver such form. In addition, any Lender, if
requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable
the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is
subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements.
Upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any
form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14(f). If any form or
certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or
inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event
within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Company and the
Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form
or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.




          (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Loan Party is a U.S. Person, any
Lender with respect to such Loan Party shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to such
Loan Party and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by such Loan
Party and the Administrative Agent), on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party
hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:





     (A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such
Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;




     (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan
Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect
to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an
exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.




Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 41 -



Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business
profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;




     (C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under the Loan Documents
constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or
business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;




     (D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a
certificate substantially in the applicable form attached as part of Exhibit D (a “U.S.
Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the
United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;




     (E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made
under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form
W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C),
(D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner
or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender;
provided, however, that if such Lender is a partnership and one or more of
its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the
Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or




     (F) any other form prescribed by Law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a
reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation
necessary to enable the applicable Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine the
amount of Tax (if any) required by Law to be withheld.



          (iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable
reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the
Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times
prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding
Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not
complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.14(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall
include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.





Four-Year Credit Agreement

          (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent
reasonably determines that it has received a refund, in cash or applied as an offset against other
cash tax liability, of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section
(including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section), such indemnified party shall pay to
the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such
indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified
party the amount paid to such indemnifying party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any
interest imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 2.14(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any
amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.14(g) to the extent such payment would
place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such
indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving
rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.14(g) shall not be construed to require
any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its
Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.




          SECTION 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.




          (a) Payments by Borrowers. Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made
by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or Unreimbursed Amounts, or under Section
2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m. (or, in the case of Section 2.20(c), 2:00
p.m.), New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off 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 the Administrative Agent’s Office, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13,
2.14 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent
shall distribute any such payments received by it for 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.




          (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are
received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
Unreimbursed Amounts, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first,
to pay 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, to pay
principal and Unreimbursed Amounts then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of principal and Unreimbursed Amounts then due to such parties.





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 43 -




          (c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. 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 of any Class or any Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon resulting in such
Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class
and accrued interest thereon or Unreimbursed Amounts and accrued interest thereon then due 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 or L/C Obligations, as applicable, 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 of the applicable Class and their respective Unreimbursed Amounts;
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 any Loan Party 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 interests in
Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Loan Party
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law,
that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against such Loan Party rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such
participation.




          (d) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) from the applicable Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders hereunder
that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower
has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate.




          (e) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make
any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.15(d), 2.20(c) or 9.03(c),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision
hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations
under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any
such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding
obligations of such Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above,
in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.




          SECTION 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 44 -




          (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 2.12, or if any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender
shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its
Loans or Letters of Credit 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 2.12 or 2.14, 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 Company hereby agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.




          (b) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section
2.12, (ii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 or (iii) any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender or (in the case of any L/C Tranche Lender) an Affected Lender or a
Non-NAIC Approved Bank, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse,
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to any such
assignment as a result of such Lender becoming an Affected Lender or a Non-NAIC Approved Bank, all
its interests, rights and obligations under the L/C Tranche) to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that (A) such assignment shall be effected in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 9.04 (including, in the case of any assignment of interests,
rights and obligations under the L/C Tranche, that such assignee shall be a NAIC Approved Bank or
any other Person which shall have in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement or Limited Fronting Lender
Agreement, in each case, with a Person or Lender, as applicable, which is a NAIC Approved Bank) and
such assignee (if not a Lender) shall have been approved by the Administrative Agent (which
approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an
amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Unreimbursed Amounts owing to it,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, Unreimbursed Amounts and accrued interest
and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other
amounts), (C) with respect to an assignment as a result of clause (iii) above, the assignment
fee shall be paid to the Administrative Agent by the Company and (D) in the case of any such
assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be
made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply (including, in the case of clause
(iii) above with respect to any Non-NAIC Approved Bank, if, prior thereto, such Lender complies
with Section 2.21(a)).




          SECTION 2.17. Increase in Commitments. The Company may, at any time after the Closing
Date by notice to the Administrative Agent, propose an increase in the total L/C Tranche
Commitments or RC Tranche Commitments hereunder (each such proposed increase being a
“Commitment Increase”) either by having a Lender increase its Commitment of the





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 45 -



applicable
Class then in effect (each an “Increasing Lender”) or by having a Person which is not then
a Lender become a party hereto as a Lender with a new Commitment of the applicable Class hereunder
(each an “Assuming Lender”), in each case, with the approval of the Administrative Agent
(not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that each Assuming Lender with a L/C Tranche
Commitment shall be a NAIC Approved Bank or any other Person which shall have in effect a
Confirming Bank Agreement or Limited Fronting Lender Agreement, in each case, with a Person or
Lender, as applicable, which is a NAIC Approved Bank. Such notice shall specify (i) the name of
each Increasing Lender and/or Assuming Lender, as applicable, (ii) the Class of the Commitments
which is being increased, (iii) the amount of the Commitment Increase and the portion thereof being
committed to by each such Increasing Lender or Assuming Lender and (iv) the date on which such
Commitment Increase is to be effective (a “Commitment Increase Date”) (which shall be a
Business Day at least five Business Days after delivery of such notice and 30 days prior to the
Commitment Termination Date).




          Each Commitment Increase shall be subject to the following additional conditions:





     (i) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, the Commitment of any Assuming
Lender as part of any Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of at least
$25,000,000;




     (ii) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, each Commitment Increase shall
be in an amount of at least $25,000,000;




     (iii) immediately after giving effect to any Commitment Increase, the total Commitments
hereunder shall not exceed $3,500,000,000;




     (iv) no Default has occurred and is continuing on the relevant Commitment Increase Date
or shall result from any Commitment Increase; and




     (v) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material
respects (or, in the case of such representations and warranties qualified as to
materiality, in all respects) on and as of the relevant Commitment Increase Date as if made
on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to
have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).



          Each Commitment Increase (and the increase of the applicable Commitment of each Increasing
Lender and/or the new Commitment of each Assuming Lender, as applicable, resulting therefrom) shall
become effective as of the relevant Commitment Increase Date upon receipt by the Administrative
Agent, on or prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date, of (a) a
certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that the conditions with respect to such Commitment
Increase under this Section have been satisfied and (b) an agreement, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which, effective as of such
Commitment Increase Date, each such Increasing Lender and/or such Assuming Lender, as applicable,
shall provide its Commitment (or an increase of its applicable Commitment, as applicable), duly
executed by each such Lender and

- 46 -



the Borrowers and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent. Upon
the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a fully executed agreement from each such Increasing Lender
and/or Assuming Lender, together with such certificate of such Responsible Officer, the
Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in such agreement in the Register and
give prompt notice of the relevant Commitment Increase to the Company and the Lenders (including,
if applicable, each Assuming Lender). On each Commitment Increase Date, if there are Loans of the
applicable Class then outstanding, each applicable Borrower shall simultaneously (i) prepay in full
the outstanding Loans of such Class made to such Borrower immediately prior to giving effect to the
relevant Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.08 and (ii) at such Borrower’s option in
accordance with this Agreement, such Borrower may request to borrow new Loans of such Class from
all the relevant Lenders (including, if applicable, any Assuming Lender) such that, after giving
effect thereto, the Loans of such Class are held ratably by the relevant Lenders in accordance with
their respective Commitments of such Class (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase).




          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree
to increase any of its Commitments hereunder and any election to do so shall be in the sole
discretion of such Lender.




          SECTION 2.18. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply
for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:




          (a) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to
Section 2.09(a) for any period during which it is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be
required to pay any such fee that would otherwise have been required to have been paid to such
Defaulting Lender);




          (b) the Commitments and Credit Exposures of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may
take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other
modification pursuant to Section 9.02); except that (i) the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender
may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment
or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its
terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the
consent of such Defaulting Lender; and




          (c) with respect to any Several Letter of Credit and/or the L/C Obligations of such Defaulting
Lender with respect thereto,





     (i) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit fee
pursuant to Section 2.09(b) for any period during which it is a Defaulting Lender (and
(except as provided in clause (c)(iii) below) the Company shall not be required to pay any
such fee that would otherwise have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting
Lender);




     (ii) subject to the condition that no Default has occurred and is continuing,




Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 47 -



with
respect to any Several Letter of Credit outstanding at the time such Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender (other than any Several Letter of Credit with respect to which another
Lender has agreed to act as the Limited Fronting Lender for such Defaulting Lender), with
the consent of the beneficiary thereunder to the extent required by the terms thereof or
under applicable Law, (i) all or any portion of the L/C Obligations held by such Defaulting
Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their
respective L/C Tranche Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of the
aggregate L/C Tranche Credit Exposure of Non-Defaulting Lenders plus the Outstanding Amount
of the L/C Obligations held by such Defaulting Lender shall not exceed the total L/C Tranche
Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders (except as provided in Section 2.20(k) for Limited
Fronting Lenders) and (B) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations held by
each Non-Defaulting Lender shall not exceed the L/C Tranche Commitment of such
Non-Defaulting Lender (except as provided in Section 2.20(k) if such Non-Defaulting Lender
is a Limited Fronting Lender) and (ii) each such Several Letter of Credit shall be amended
to specify the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are parties to such Several Letter of Credit,
after giving effect to such event, and such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective L/C Tranche
Applicable Percentages with respect thereto as of the effective date of such amendment (and,
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Defaulting Lender shall have no
obligation under each such Several Letter of Credit to the extent such L/C Obligations in
respect thereof are so allocated);




     (iii) if the L/C Obligations held by the Non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated with
respect to any Several Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above, then the Letter of
Credit fees payable to the Lenders with respect to such Several Letter of Credit pursuant to
Section 2.09(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ L/C
Tranche Applicable Percentages; and




     (iv) so long as such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender, the L/C Obligations
of the Lenders in respect of any Several Letter of Credit requested to be issued
hereunder shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause
(c)(ii) above (and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Defaulting Lender
shall have no obligation under each such Several Letter of Credit to the extent such L/C
Obligations in respect thereof are so allocated).



          In the event that the Administrative Agent, the applicable Several L/C Agent and the Company
each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to
be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date, (A) to the extent the L/C Obligations held by the
Non-Defaulting Lenders were theretofore reallocated with respect to any Several Letter of Credit
pursuant to clause (c)(ii) or (iv) above, all adjustments shall be made to such Several Letters of
Credit consistent with Section 2.20(b)(iv) (including amendments to each such Several Letter of
Credit and/or, if applicable, purchases at par by such Lender of the Unreimbursed Amounts then
outstanding (if any) of the other Lenders thereunder) as the Administrative Agent shall determine
may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such L/C Obligations in accordance with its L/C
Tranche Applicable Percentage; (B) if the L/C Obligations held by the Non-Defaulting Lenders were
not theretofore reallocated with respect to





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 48 -



such Several Letter of Credit pursuant to clause
(c)(ii) above, but instead the face amount of any such Several Letter of Credit was increased or a
new Several Letter of Credit was issued hereunder in favor of the beneficiary of such Several
Letter of Credit in order to provide such beneficiary with an aggregate undrawn face amount of
Letters of Credit from the Non-Defaulting Lenders in the amount required by such beneficiary, the
amount of such Several Letter of Credit or new Several Letter of Credit shall be amended to
decrease the amount thereof, or the Company shall arrange for such new Letter of Credit to be
surrendered by such beneficiary to such Several L/C Agent, in order to reflect the inclusion of
such Lender’s L/C Tranche Commitment; and (C) such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans
of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such
Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage with respect to each
applicable Tranche, whereupon such Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender.




          SECTION 2.19. Designation of Subsidiary Borrowers. (a) Designation of Subsidiary
Borrowers. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, the Company may, at any time
or from time to time after the Closing Date upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice to the
Administrative Agent (or such shorter period which is acceptable to the Administrative Agent),
designate a wholly-owned, direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary of the Company to become a party
to this Agreement as a Subsidiary Borrower; provided that each such designation shall be
subject to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Upon receipt of such notice under this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender thereof. Upon such approval and the satisfaction of the conditions specified in
paragraph (b) of this Section, such Subsidiary shall become a party to this Agreement as a
Subsidiary Borrower hereunder and shall be entitled to borrow Loans on and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the
effectiveness of such designation. Following the giving of any notice pursuant to this Section, if
the designation of such Subsidiary Borrower obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to
comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances
where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Company shall, promptly
upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other
evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the
Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results
of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable Laws and
regulations.




          (b) Conditions Precedent to Designation. The designation by the Company of any
Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder shall not become effective until the date on which
the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following documents (each of which shall
be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in form and substance): (i) a Subsidiary Borrower
Designation, duly completed and executed by the Company and such Subsidiary, delivered to the
Administrative Agent at least 5 Business Days before the date on which such Subsidiary is proposed
to become a Subsidiary Borrower; (ii) a favorable written opinion (addressed to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders and appropriately dated) of external or internal counsel to such Subsidiary
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and the Company and such Subsidiary Borrower hereby, and
by delivery of such Subsidiary Borrower Designation, instruct such counsel to deliver such opinion
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders), as to such matters as are consistent with the scope
of the opinion of counsel to the Company delivered





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 49 -



pursuant to Section 4.01(e) and/or such other
matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; and (iii) such documents and
certificates as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith (including
certified copies of the Organization Documents of such Subsidiary and of resolutions of its board
of directors or similar governing body authorizing such Subsidiary becoming a Borrower hereunder,
and of all documents evidencing all other necessary corporate or other action required with respect
to such Subsidiary Borrower becoming party to this Agreement).




          (c) Termination of Subsidiary Borrower. So long as there shall be no Loans
outstanding to a Subsidiary Borrower or other amounts owing hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents by such Subsidiary Borrower (or any pending Borrowing Request by such Subsidiary
Borrower), the Company may elect to terminate such Subsidiary Borrower as a Borrower hereunder by
delivering to the Administrative Agent a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or any
other form approved by the Administrative Agent (each a “Subsidiary Borrower Termination
Notice”), duly completed and executed. Any Subsidiary Borrower Termination Notice furnished
hereunder shall be effective upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly
so notify the Lenders), whereupon all commitments of the Lenders to make Loans to such Subsidiary
Borrower and the rights of such Subsidiary Borrower to borrow hereunder shall terminate and such
Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately cease to be a Borrower hereunder and a party hereto;
provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the delivery of a
Subsidiary Borrower Termination Notice with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower shall not terminate
or discharge (i) any obligation of such Subsidiary Borrower that remains unpaid at such time or
(ii) the obligations of the Company under Article X with respect to any such unpaid obligations.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any event described in
clause (g) or (h) of Article VII with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower, or if at any time any
Subsidiary Borrower shall cease to be a wholly-owned, direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary of the
Company, (i) all commitments of the Lenders to make Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower and the
rights of such Subsidiary Borrower
to borrow hereunder shall automatically terminate and such Subsidiary Borrower shall
immediately cease to be a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder and a party hereto and (ii) the principal
amount then outstanding of, and the accrued interest on, the Loans (if any) made to such Subsidiary
Borrower and all other amounts payable by such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder (including any amounts
payable under Section 2.13) and under the other Loan Documents shall automatically become
immediately due and payable, in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or other
formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by such Subsidiary Borrower and
the Company.




          SECTION 2.20. Letters of Credit. (a) Letter of Credit Commitment.




          (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time on any Business
Day during the Availability Period, each L/C Tranche Lender agrees, through the applicable Several
L/C Agent, (1) to issue severally, and for itself alone, Several Letters of Credit at the request
of and for the account of the Company in such L/C Tranche Lender’s L/C Tranche Applicable
Percentage of the aggregate stated amounts of such Several Letters of Credit, and to amend or
extend Several Letters of Credit previously issued by it, and (2) to honor severally, and for
itself alone, drawings under the Several Letters of Credit in an amount equal to its L/C Tranche
Applicable Percentage of such drawings; provided that after giving effect to any





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 50 -



issuance,
amendment or extension, (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not
exceed the total L/C Tranche Commitments, and (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the L/C
Obligations owing to such L/C Tranche Lender (whether as an issuer or as a participant) shall not
exceed such L/C Tranche Lender’s L/C Tranche Commitment (except as provided in Section 2.20(k) for
a Limited Fronting Lender). Each request by the Company for the issuance, amendment or extension
of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Company that such issuance,
amendment or extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company’s ability
to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Company may, during the
Availability Period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or
that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.




          Each Several Letter of Credit shall be a standby letter of credit in such form as the Company
shall request and which the Administrative Agent and the applicable Several L/C Agent shall
determine in good faith does not contain any obligations, or diminish any rights, of any L/C
Tranche Lender with respect thereto or other terms thereof that are inconsistent with the terms
hereof. Without the prior consent of each L/C Tranche Lender, no Several Letter of Credit may be
issued that would vary the several and not joint nature of the obligations of the L/C Tranche
Lenders thereunder, and (subject to the provisions contained herein regarding Limited Fronting
Lenders and Defaulting Lenders) each Several Letter of Credit shall be issued (through the
applicable Several L/C Agent) by all of the L/C Tranche Lenders having L/C Tranche Commitments at
the time of issuance as a single multi-bank letter of credit, but the obligation of each L/C
Tranche Lender thereunder shall be several and not joint based upon its L/C Tranche Applicable
Percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit.




          If requested by the Company but subject to the terms and conditions hereof, a
Letter of Credit shall satisfy the requirements for letters of credit under the
credit-for-reinsurance provisions of the insurance Laws applicable to the relevant beneficiary (or
the requirements for similar purposes of such other Governmental Authority which then regulates the
relevant beneficiary’s insurance business as may be specified by the Company) as to which the
Company provides written notice to the applicable Several L/C Agent and the Administrative Agent
prior to the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that the Several L/C
Agent, the Administrative Agent or any L/C Tranche Lender shall not be obligated to verify such
satisfaction.




          All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto by the
applicable Several L/C Agent (on behalf of the L/C Tranche Lenders) and shall be amended as
provided herein as of the Closing Date, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and
governed by the terms and conditions hereof.




          (ii) Neither the applicable Several L/C Agent nor the L/C Tranche Lenders (including for
avoidance of doubt Limited Fronting Lenders), as applicable, shall issue any Letter of Credit, if:





     (A) subject to Section 2.20(b)(v), the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur
more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required
Lenders under the L/C Tranche have approved such expiry date; or




Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 51 -



     (B) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur after the first anniversary of
the Commitment Termination Date, unless all the L/C Tranche Lenders have approved such
expiry date;



          (iii) Neither the applicable Several L/C Agent nor any L/C Tranche Lender (including for
avoidance of doubt Limited Fronting Lenders), as applicable, shall be under any obligation to issue
any Letter of Credit if:





     (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by
its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative
Agent has been notified thereof by such L/C Tranche Lender, any L/C Tranche Lender from
issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Several L/C Agent or, if the
Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by such L/C Tranche Lender, any L/C Tranche
Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Several L/C Agent or, if the
Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by such L/C Tranche Lender, any L/C Tranche
Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative
Agent has been notified thereof by such L/C Tranche Lender, any L/C Tranche Lender refrain
from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or
shall impose upon such Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative Agent has been notified
thereof by such L/C Tranche Lender, any L/C Tranche Lender with respect to such Letter of
Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Several L/C Agent or,
if the Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by such L/C Tranche Lender, any L/C
Tranche Lender is not otherwise
compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such
Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by such L/C
Tranche Lender, any L/C Tranche Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable on the Closing Date and which such Several L/C Agent or, if the Administrative
Agent has been notified thereof by such L/C Tranche Lender, any L/C Tranche Lender in good
faith deems material to it;




     (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such
Several L/C Agent that are in effect at the time the Company requests such issuance or, if
the Administrative Agent has been notified thereof by such L/C Tranche Lender, any L/C
Tranche Lender, as applicable, applicable to letters of credit generally;




     (C) except as otherwise agreed by such Several L/C Agent, such Letter of Credit is in
an initial amount of less than $1,000,000;




     (D) after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, more than fifteen (15) Letters of
Credit would be outstanding unless the Company, such Several L/C Agent and the
Administrative Agent otherwise agree;




     (E) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;




Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 52 -



     (F) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the
stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or




     (G) with respect to such Letter of Credit in respect of which there is a Limited
Fronting Lender for any Affected Lender or Non-NAIC Approved Bank, such Affected Lender or
Non-NAIC Approved Bank is a Defaulting Lender, unless such Limited Fronting Lender has
entered into arrangements satisfactory to it with the Company and/or such Defaulting Lender
to eliminate such Limited Fronting Lender’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender.



          (iv) Subject to Section 2.20(b)(v), neither the applicable Several L/C Agent nor any L/C
Tranche Lender, as applicable, shall amend or extend any Letter of Credit if it would not be
permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.




          (v) Neither the applicable Several L/C Agent nor any L/C Tranche Lender, as applicable, shall
be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Several L/C Agent or such L/C
Tranche Lender, as applicable, would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit
in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does
not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.




          (vi) Each L/C Tranche Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (which shall in
turn notify the applicable Several L/C Agent and the Company) upon becoming an Affected Lender with
respect to a particular Several Letter of Credit. In the absence of receipt
by the Administrative Agent of such notice by a L/C Tranche Lender that it has become an
Affected Lender with respect to a particular Several Letter of Credit, it shall be conclusively
presumed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Several L/C Agent that such L/C Tranche
Lender is not an Affected Lender with respect to such Several Letter of Credit. If such notice is
given by an Affected Lender with respect to a particular Several Letter of Credit, such notice
shall not be effective as a like notice with respect to any other Several Letter of Credit.




          (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of
Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the
application and request of the Company or any of its Insurance Subsidiaries, by the delivery to (A)
the applicable Several L/C Agent and (B) the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the
L/C Tranche Lenders of such request), in each case, of a Letter of Credit Application,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company (and, if applicable, of
the Subsidiary named therein as an applicant). Such Letter of Credit Application must be received
by such Several L/C Agent and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, at least three Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the
case may be, of any Several Letter of Credit.




          In the case of a request by the Company for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such
Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable
Several L/C Agent:





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 53 -





     (A) if applicable, the name of the Subsidiary of the Company to be an applicant with
respect to the requested Letter of Credit (and certifying that such Subsidiary is an
Insurance Subsidiary);




     (B) the proposed issuance date of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business
Day);




     (C) the amount thereof;




     (D) the expiry date thereof;




     (E) the name and address of the beneficiary or beneficiaries thereof;




     (F) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary, if any, in case of any drawing
thereunder;




     (G) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary, if any, in
case of any drawing thereunder;




     (H) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit;




     (I) whether such Letter of Credit shall be issued under the rules of the ISP or the
UCP; and




     (J) such other matters as such Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, may reasonably require.



          In the case of a request by the Company for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit,
such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable
Several L/C Agent:





     (I) the Letter of Credit to be amended;




     (II) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day);




     (III) the nature of the proposed amendment; and




     (IV) such other matters as such Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, may reasonably require.



          Additionally, the Company shall, and shall (if applicable) cause any Subsidiary party to the
relevant Letter of Credit Application to, furnish to the applicable Several L/C Agent and the
Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of
Credit issuance or amendment, as such Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable,
may reasonably require.





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 54 -




          (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Several L/C
Agent will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Company and,
if applicable, any Subsidiary, and, if not, such Several L/C Agent will provide the Administrative
Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such Several L/C Agent has received written notice from any L/C
Tranche Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Company, at least two Business Days prior to the
requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that such Letter of
Credit is not permitted to be issued hereunder or that one or more applicable conditions contained
in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, such Several L/C Agent shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the
account of the Company or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in
accordance with such Several L/C Agent’s, as applicable, usual and customary business practices.




          (iii) The applicable Several L/C Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver each
Several Letter of Credit and each amendment to a Several Letter of Credit on behalf of each L/C
Tranche Lender and to otherwise act on behalf of each L/C Tranche Lender with respect to each
Several Letter of Credit, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the
foregoing, as of the Closing Date, the Several L/C Agent with respect to each Existing Letter of
Credit is hereby authorized to amend such Letter of Credit in a manner such that such Letter of
Credit as amended shall be in accordance with the terms hereof (including to reflect the L/C
Tranche Applicable Percentage of each L/C Tranche Lender as its “Percentage Obligation” (or
equivalent term) thereunder). The applicable Several L/C Agent shall use the L/C Tranche
Applicable Percentage of each L/C Tranche Lender as its “Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent
term) under each Several Letter of Credit; provided that each Limited
Fronting Lender (if any), in its capacity as such, shall, in addition to its own “Percentage
Obligation” as a L/C Tranche Lender, have a “Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent term) equal to
the L/C Tranche Applicable Percentage (or the portion thereof, if applicable) of each Participating
L/C Issuer for which such Limited Fronting Lender acts in such capacity under such Several Letter
of Credit. Subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.20(a)(i), the applicable
Several L/C Agent is hereby authorized to amend a Several Letter of Credit to change the
“Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent term) of a L/C Tranche Lender or add or delete a L/C Tranche
Lender liable thereunder in connection with an assignment or any other addition or replacement of a
L/C Tranche Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including in connection with
changes resulting from the reallocation of L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 2.18). In the event
that a L/C Tranche Lender becomes a Participating L/C Issuer or ceases to be a Participating L/C
Issuer, the applicable Several L/C Agent is hereby authorized to amend each Several Letter of
Credit to reflect such change in status and to change the “Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent
term) of the applicable Limited Fronting Lender, as the case may be. Each L/C Tranche Lender
(including for avoidance of doubt each Limited Fronting Lender) hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints each Several L/C Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of such L/C
Tranche Lender for the limited purpose of issuing, executing and delivering, as the case may be,
each Several Letter of Credit and each amendment to a Several Letter of Credit and for carrying out
the purposes of this Agreement with respect to Several Letters of Credit, in each case, in
accordance with the terms hereof.





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 55 -




          (iv) It is the intention and agreement of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Tranche Lenders
and the Several L/C Agents that (A) except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (including with
respect to Limited Fronting Lenders, if any), the rights and obligations of the L/C Tranche Lenders
in respect of outstanding Several Letters of Credit shall be determined in accordance with the L/C
Tranche Applicable Percentages of the L/C Tranche Lenders from time to time in effect and (B)
subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.20(a)(i), outstanding Several Letters of
Credit shall be promptly amended to reflect changes in the L/C Tranche Applicable Percentages of
the L/C Tranche Lenders under this Agreement arising from time to time in connection with any event
or circumstance contemplated hereby, including a L/C Tranche Lender acting as a Limited Fronting
Lender for any Affected Lender or Non-NAIC Approved Bank pursuant to Section 2.20(k), a replacement
of a L/C Tranche Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(b), an increase of the L/C Tranche Commitments
pursuant to Section 2.17, a reallocation of L/C Obligations held by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 2.18, an assignment pursuant to Section 9.04 or otherwise. However, it is acknowledged by
the Administrative Agent, the L/C Tranche Lenders and the Several L/C Agents that amendments of
outstanding Several Letters of Credit may not be immediately effected and may be subject to the
consent of the beneficiaries of such Several Letters of Credit. Accordingly, whether or not
Several Letters of Credit are amended as contemplated hereby (including Existing Letters of
Credit), the L/C Tranche Lenders agree that they shall purchase and sell participations (as
provided in Section 2.20(l)) or otherwise make or effect such payments among themselves (but
through the Administrative Agent) so that payments by the L/C Tranche Lenders of drawings under
Several Letters of Credit and payments by the Company of Unreimbursed Amounts and interest thereon
are, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (including with respect to Limited Fronting
Lenders and Defaulting Lenders), in each case shared by the L/C Tranche Lenders in accordance with
the L/C Tranche Applicable Percentages of the L/C Tranche Lenders
from time to time in effect.




          (v) If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable
Several L/C Agent (on behalf of the L/C Tranche Lenders) will issue or amend a Letter of Credit
(including any Existing Letter of Credit) to provide for automatic extension provisions (each, an
“Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of
Credit must permit such Several L/C Agent to prevent any such extension by giving notice to the
beneficiary thereof prior to the thirtieth (30th) day (or such earlier day as set forth
in the applicable Letter of Credit) preceding the then current expiration date of such Letter of
Credit (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”). The Company shall not be required to make a
specific request to such Several L/C Agent for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter
of Credit has been issued, the L/C Tranche Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized the
applicable Several L/C Agent to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit to an expiry date not
later than twelve months from the then existing expiry date; provided, however,
that such Several L/C Agent shall not permit any such extension (and shall give a notice of
non-extension to the relevant beneficiary of such Letter of Credit prior to the Non-Extension
Notice Date pursuant to the terms thereof) if (A) such Several L/C Agent (on behalf of the L/C
Tranche Lenders) has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at
such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof
(by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.20(a) or otherwise), and such
Several L/C Agent has provided notice thereof to the Company no later than the Non-Extension Notice





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 56 -



Date, (B) it has received notice on or before the day that is five Business Days before the
Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any L/C Tranche Lender or the Company that
one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (or, in
the case of the Company, that the Company does not want such Letter of Credit to be extended), and
in each such case directing such Several L/C Agent not to permit such extension, or (C) such
extension would result in the extension of the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to a date after
the first anniversary of the Commitment Termination Date.




          (vi) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of
Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable
Several L/C Agent will also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a true and complete
copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.




          (c) Drawings and Reimbursements. (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any
Several Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Several Letter of Credit, the
applicable Several L/C Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Company and the L/C Tranche Lenders, thereof, which notices shall be given
promptly and in any event at least one Business Day before the date (the “Honor Date”) on
which the applicable Several L/C Agent anticipates that payment of such drawing will be made. Not
later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Honor Date and without further notice or demand
by such Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent, (A) each L/C Tranche Lender (including each
Limited Fronting Lender, but excluding each Participating L/C Issuer) shall make funds available to
the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its L/C Tranche
Applicable Percentage (and, in the case of each Limited Fronting Lender, the L/C Tranche Applicable
Percentage (or the portion thereof for which it has
agreed to be a Limited Fronting Lender) of each applicable Participating L/C Issuer) of the
drawing under such Several Letter of Credit (and the Administrative Agent shall make such funds
available to the applicable Several L/C Agent) and (B) in the event that a Limited Fronting Lender
pays the L/C Tranche Applicable Percentage of a Participating L/C Issuer, such Participating L/C
Issuer shall pay such L/C Tranche Applicable Percentage (or the relevant portion thereof, if
applicable) to such Limited Fronting Lender in purchase of its participation in such payment. Not
later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Honor Date, so long as the Company has received
notice of payment under such Several Letter of Credit from such Several L/C Agent or the
Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Honor Date and, otherwise, not later
than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the following Business Day, the Company shall pay to the L/C
Tranche Lenders through the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of such drawing
(such amount, the “Unreimbursed Amount”) without further demand; provided that, at
any time during the Availability Period, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowing
set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR
Borrowing under the L/C Tranche in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the
Company’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR
Borrowing. Any notice given by such Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 2.20(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided
that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding
effect of such notice.




          (ii) Notwithstanding the date on which an Unreimbursed Amount is payable





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 57 -



by the Company
pursuant to Section 2.20(c)(i), if an Unreimbursed Amount is not paid by the Company by 2:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the applicable Honor Date, each Unreimbursed Amount shall bear interest from
the applicable Honor Date to the date that such Unreimbursed Amount is paid by the Company at a
rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.




          (iii) Until a L/C Tranche Lender funds its obligation pursuant to this Section 2.20(c),
interest in respect of such L/C Tranche Lender’s L/C Tranche Applicable Percentage of any
Unreimbursed Amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable Several L/C Agent (if such
Several L/C Agent has funded on behalf of such L/C Tranche Lender, as provided in Section
2.20(c)(v)), as applicable.




          (iv) Each L/C Tranche Lender’s (including for avoidance of doubt each Limited Fronting
Lender’s and each Participating L/C Issuer’s) obligation to fund its obligations pursuant to this
Section 2.20(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such L/C Tranche
Lender may have against the applicable Several L/C Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Company,
any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of
a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing.




          (v) If any L/C Tranche Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent any amount
required to be paid by such L/C Tranche Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
2.20(c) by the time specified in Section 2.20(c)(i), the applicable Several L/C Agent (to the
extent that such Several L/C Agent shall have funded such amount on behalf of such L/C Tranche
Lender, it being understood and agreed that neither such Several L/C
Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation or liability to fund any amount
under any Several Letter of Credit other than in its capacity as a L/C Tranche Lender) shall,
through the Administrative Agent, be entitled to recover from such L/C Tranche Lender, on demand,
such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date
on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the
applicable Several L/C Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (v) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.




          (vi) The obligations of the L/C Tranche Lenders hereunder to honor drawings under, and/or (if
applicable) to fund participations in, Letters of Credit are several and not joint. The failure of
any L/C Tranche Lender to fund any such drawing or participation on any date required hereunder
shall not relieve any other L/C Tranche Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such
date, and except for Limited Fronting Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit they have issued on
behalf of Affected Lenders or Non-NAIC Approved Banks, no L/C Tranche Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other L/C Tranche Lender to honor a drawing or purchase its participation.




          (d) Repayment of Fundings. (i) If after any L/C Tranche Lender has funded its
obligation under Section 2.20(c) in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the
Administrative Agent receives any payment (including any payment of interest) in respect of the
related Unreimbursed Amount (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 58 -



proceeds of
Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), then the Administrative Agent will
distribute to such L/C Tranche Lender its L/C Tranche Applicable Percentage (or other applicable
share as provided herein) thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such L/C Tranche Lender’s funding was outstanding) in the
same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. If any L/C Tranche Lender has not funded
its obligation as aforesaid, such L/C Tranche Lender’s L/C Tranche Applicable Percentage (or other
applicable share as provided herein) of such payment shall be paid to the applicable Several L/C
Agent (if such Several L/C Agent shall have funded on behalf of such L/C Tranche Lender, as
provided in Section 2.20(c)(v)).




          (ii) If any payment made by the Administrative Agent to the L/C Tranche Lenders pursuant to
Section 2.20(d)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section
9.08 (including pursuant to any settlement), each L/C Tranche Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent its L/C Tranche Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided
herein) thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date
of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such L/C Tranche Lender, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.




          (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company to pay each Unreimbursed
Amount shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:





     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or
any other Loan Document;




     (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the
Company or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of
such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee
may be acting), any Several L/C Agent, any L/C Tranche Lender, the Administrative Agent or
any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any
unrelated transaction;




     (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such
Letter of Credit;




     (iv) any payment by the L/C Tranche Lenders under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit or any payment made by the L/C Tranche Lenders under such Letter of Credit
to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to
any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in
connection with any proceeding under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy,




Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 59 -



insolvency,
receivership or similar Law now or hereafter in effect;




     (v) any Several L/C Agent, any L/C Tranche Lender, the Administrative Agent or any of
their respective branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit;




     (vi) any L/C Tranche Lender honoring a drawing against any draft, demand, certificate
or other document presented under such Letter of Credit up to the amount available under
such Letter of Credit even if such draft, demand, certificate or other document claims an
amount in excess of the amount available under such Letter of Credit;




     (vii) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative
Agent, any Several L/C Agent or any of the L/C Tranche Lenders as security for any of such
reimbursement obligations shall fail to be perfected;




     (viii) the occurrence of any Default;




     (ix) the existence of any proceedings of the type described in clause (g) or (h) of
Article VII with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary;




     (x) whether such Letter of Credit is issued in support of any obligations of any
Subsidiary or any Subsidiary is an applicant for, or purports in any way to have any
liability for, such Letter of Credit; or




     (xi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any Subsidiary.


The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto
requested by the Company that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance
with the Company’s (or, if applicable, any Subsidiary’s) instructions or other irregularity, the
Company will notify the applicable Several L/C Agent (with respect to Several Letters of Credit)
within five Business Days of receipt of such Letter of Credit or amendment. The Company and each
Subsidiary party to any Letter of Credit Application shall be conclusively deemed to have waived
any such claim against the Several L/C Agents or the L/C Tranche Lenders, as applicable, unless
such notice is given as aforesaid.




          (f) Role of Several L/C Agent. Each L/C Tranche Lender and the Company agree that, in
paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Several L/C Agent shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents
expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or
accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such
document. Neither the applicable Several L/C Agent, any Related Party thereof nor any of the
respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such Several L/C Agent shall be liable to
any L/C Tranche Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or
with the approval of the L/C Tranche Lenders or the Required Lenders under the L/C Tranche, as
applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 60 -



wilful
misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit Document. The Company and each Subsidiary party to a Letter of Credit Application hereby
assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use
of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended
to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against
the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of any Several L/C Agent,
any Related Party nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such
Several L/C Agent shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i)
through (v) of Section 2.20(e); provided, however, that, anything in such clauses
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company (or, if applicable, any Subsidiary) may have a claim
against any Several L/C Agent, and any Several L/C Agent may be liable to the Company or such
Subsidiary, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or
exemplary, damages suffered by the Company or such Subsidiary which the Company or such Subsidiary
proves were caused primarily by such Several L/C Agent’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence or
such Several L/C Agent’s wilful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to
it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and
conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any
Several L/C Agent may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
and such Several L/C Agent shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason.




          (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent (given at the
request or with the consent of the Required Lenders under the L/C Tranche), if, as of the first
anniversary of the Commitment Termination Date, any Letter of Credit for any reason remains
outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Company shall promptly Cash Collateralize the then
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount thereof
plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon at such time). Article VII sets forth certain
additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Cash Collateralize” means to pledge to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
L/C Tranche Lenders as collateral for the L/C Obligations, deposit account balances denominated in
Dollars and maintained with the Administrative Agent pursuant to documentation in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which documents are hereby consented to by the
L/C Tranche Lenders). The Company hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the L/C Tranche Lenders, a security interest in all such deposit accounts and all balances therein
and all proceeds of the foregoing delivered by the Company as Cash Collateral. Cash Collateral
shall be maintained in a blocked deposit account at JPMCB.




          (h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable
Several L/C Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued, the
rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit unless, for regulatory purposes, the rules of
the UCP must apply.




          (i) Conflict with Letter of Credit Documents. In the event of any conflict





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 61 -



between
the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Letter of Credit Document, the terms hereof shall
control.




          (j) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything herein or in
any Letter of Credit Document to the contrary, the Company shall be solely and fully obligated to
pay all amounts owing with respect to each Letter of Credit, including each Unreimbursed Amount and
accrued interest thereon with respect to such Letter of Credit, whether or not such Letter of
Credit is issued in support of any obligations of any Subsidiary or any Subsidiary is party as an
applicant to the relevant Letter of Credit Application, all on the terms set forth herein. The
Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit at the request of any of its
Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives
substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.




          (k) Limited Fronting Lenders. In the event that any L/C Tranche Lender agrees (in its
sole discretion) to act as a Limited Fronting Lender for any Affected Lender or Non-NAIC Approved
Bank upon such terms and conditions as such parties may agree (including fees payable by such
Affected Lender or Non-NAIC Approved Bank to such Limited Fronting Lender) (such agreement, a
“Limited Fronting Lender Agreement”), the following provisions shall apply (in addition to
any other provisions hereof relating to Limited Fronting Lenders):





     (i) upon the issuance of any Several Letter of Credit pursuant hereto, with respect to
any Affected Lender or Non-NAIC Approved Bank, as applicable, as a Participating L/C Issuer
under such Several Letter of Credit, each applicable Limited Fronting Lender, in reliance
upon the agreements of such Affected Lender or Non-NAIC Approved Bank, as applicable, as a
Participating L/C Issuer set forth in this Section, agrees (A) to issue through the
applicable Several L/C Agent, in addition to its own
obligations as a L/C Tranche Lender under such Several Letter of Credit, severally such
Several Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Affected Lender’s or Non-NAIC Approved
Bank’s, as applicable, L/C Tranche Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of such
Several Letter of Credit (or the portion thereof for which such Limited Fronting Lender has
agreed to be a Limited Fronting Lender), and (B) to amend or extend each Several Letter of
Credit previously issued by it as a Limited Fronting Lender for such Participating L/C
Issuer; and




     (ii) with respect to any Several Letter of Credit issued by a Limited Fronting Lender
pursuant to clause (i) above for a Participating L/C Issuer, such Participating L/C Issuer
agrees to purchase participations (as provided in Section 2.20(l)) in the obligations of
such Limited Fronting Lender under such Several Letter of Credit attributable to such
Participating L/C Issuer for which such Limited Fronting Lender has agreed to act as a
Limited Fronting Lender hereunder.


Each L/C Tranche Lender that agrees to act as a Limited Fronting Lender for any other L/C Tranche
Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Several L/C
Agents) of such agreement and of any termination or expiration of such agreement.




          In the event that, pursuant to this Section 2.20(k), any other L/C Tranche Lender agrees to
act as a Limited Fronting Lender for any L/C Tranche Lender that becomes an Affected





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 62 -



Lender or a
Non-NAIC Approved Bank, such other L/C Tranche Lender shall receive such compensation therefor as
such Affected Lender or Non-NAIC Approved Bank and such other L/C Tranche Lender may agree.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no L/C Tranche Lender shall have any obligation to
agree to act hereunder as a Limited Fronting Lender for any other L/C Tranche Lender.




          (l) Participations. In the event (i) any Participating L/C Issuer purchases a
participation in the Letter(s) of Credit of its Limited Fronting Lender pursuant to Section 2.20(k)
or (ii) any L/C Tranche Lender acquires or is deemed to acquire a participation in the Letters of
Credit of the other L/C Tranche Lenders pursuant to Section 2.20(b)(iv), then, without any further
action on the part of any party, (A) in the case of clause (i) above, such Limited Fronting L/C
Tranche Lender grants to such Participating L/C Issuer, and such Participating L/C Issuer hereby
acquires from such Limited Fronting Lender, a participation in such Limited Fronting Lender’s L/C
Tranche Applicable Percentage of the relevant Letters of Credit attributable to such Participating
L/C Issuer for which such Limited Fronting Lender has agreed to act as a Limited Fronting Lender
hereunder and (B) in the case of clause (ii) above, each such other L/C Tranche Lender hereby
grants to such L/C Tranche Lender, and such L/C Tranche Lender hereby acquires from such other L/C
Tranche Lenders, a participation in that portion of each such other L/C Tranche Lender’s L/C
Tranche Applicable Percentage of the relevant Letters of Credit to give effect to the purposes of
the last sentence of Section 2.20(b)(iv). Each L/C Tranche Lender (including each Participating
L/C Issuer) purchasing a participation hereunder acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of
Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the L/C
Tranche Commitments. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, such L/C Tranche Lender
hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the applicable Limited Fronting
Lender or such other L/C Tranche Lenders, as applicable, an amount equal to the amount of each
payment made by such Limited Fronting Lender or other L/C Tranche Lenders, as applicable, in
respect of the portion of such Letter of Credit in which such L/C Tranche Lender holds a
participation, promptly upon the request of such Limited Fronting Lender or any such other L/C
Tranche Lender, as applicable, at any time from the time such payment is made until such payment is
reimbursed by the Company or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded
to the Company for any reason. Such payment by such L/C Tranche Lender shall be made for account
of the applicable Limited Fronting Lender or such other L/C Tranche Lenders, as applicable, without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. To the extent that any L/C Tranche
Lender has made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse a Limited Fronting Lender or any
other L/C Tranche Lenders in respect of any participation interests purchased hereunder in respect
of any Letter of Credit, promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from
the Company pursuant to Section 2.20(c)(i) in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative
Agent shall distribute such payment to such Limited Fronting Lender and such L/C Tranche Lender, or
to the other L/C Tranche Lenders and such L/C Tranche Lender, as applicable, in each case as their
interests may appear. Any payment made by a L/C Tranche Lender in respect of its participation
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Limited Fronting Lender or any other L/C
Tranche Lenders for any payment made in any respect of any drawing under a Letter of Credit shall
not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse the amount of such drawing.

- 63 -




          SECTION 2.21. Non-NAIC Approved Banks. If, at any time from and after the Closing Date,
any L/C Tranche Lender is not or ceases to be a NAIC Approved Bank, such L/C Tranche Lender shall
promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof. Each L/C Tranche Lender agrees
to use commercially reasonable efforts, at all times from and after the Closing Date, (a) to be a
NAIC Approved Bank or (b) if such L/C Tranche Lender is not or ceases to be a NAIC Approved Bank,
either (i) to maintain in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement with a Confirming Bank (which
Confirming Bank (if not a L/C Tranche Lender), prior to entering in such Confirming Bank Agreement,
shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent (such
consent, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld)) upon such terms and conditions as such
parties may agree or (ii) as provided in Section 2.20(k), to agree with another L/C Tranche Lender
which is a NAIC Approved Bank that such L/C Tranche Lender shall (in its sole discretion) act as
the Limited Fronting Lender for such L/C Tranche Lender, in each case with respect to any Several
Letters of Credit which are outstanding at the time such L/C Tranche Lender becomes a Non-NAIC
Approved Bank and/or are issued during the period that such L/C Tranche Lender is a Non-NAIC
Approved Bank. In the event that any Person (including any other L/C Tranche Lender) agrees to act
as a Confirming Bank for any L/C Tranche Lender which is a Non-NAIC Approved Bank, such other L/C
Tranche Lender shall receive such compensation therefor as such Non-NAIC Approved Bank and such
Person may agree. If any L/C Tranche Lender shall enter into a Confirming Bank Agreement hereunder
at any time, it shall promptly furnish a copy thereof to the Company and the Administrative Agent
and, thereafter, promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of the termination or
expiration of such Confirming Bank Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
L/C Tranche Lender shall have any obligation to agree to act hereunder as a Confirming Bank for any
other L/C Tranche
Lender.

affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby.




          (b) Environmental Matters. Except with respect to any other matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Change, neither the Company nor any of its Designated Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with
any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval
required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii)
has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows

          (c) Change in Disclosed Matters. Since August 4, 2011, there has been no change in
the status of Disclosed Matters and Disclosed Tax Matters that, individually or in the aggregate,
has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Change.




          SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws. Each of the Company and its Designated
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Laws (including any Environmental Laws) and orders of any
Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Change.




          SECTION 3.08. No Default. Neither the Company nor any of its Designated Subsidiaries
is in default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. No Default has

by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.




          SECTION 3.09. Investment Company Status. None of the Borrowers is and, after

Designated Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Federal income tax returns and
all other material tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be
paid all taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) taxes for which such Person has set
aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not

          SECTION 3.11. ERISA. (a) Each of the Company and its ERISA Affiliates is in
compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the
regulations and
published interpretations thereunder as they relate to each Plan. No ERISA Event has occurred
or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events,
could reasonably be expected to result in material liability of the Company or any of its ERISA
Affiliates. The present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (determined
based on the projected benefit obligation with respect to such underfunded





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 66 -



Plans based on the
assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of

market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.




          (b) Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements
of Law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan.
With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, none of the Company, its Affiliates or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction that would subject
the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to a tax or civil penalty that could
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change.
With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial
statements furnished to the Lender in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with
applicable Law and prudent business practice or, where required, in accordance with ordinary
accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Pension Plan is maintained. The
aggregate unfunded liabilities with respect to such Foreign Pension Plans could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. The present value of the aggregate accumulated
benefit liabilities of all such Foreign Pension Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each
such Foreign Pension Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed
by more than $900,000,000 the fair market value of the assets held in trust under all such Foreign
Pension Plans.




          SECTION 3.12. Disclosure. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or
other information furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading as of the date made; provided that, with respect to projected or
pro forma financial information, the Company represents only that such information was prepared in
good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time furnished (it being
understood that such projections and forecasts are subject to uncertainties and contingencies and
no assurances can be given that such projections or forecasts will be realized).




          SECTION 3.13. Margin Regulations. No Loan Party is engaged principally, or as one of
its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate,
incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock, and no Letter of Credit or part of the
proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used to buy or carry any Margin Stock. Following the
application of the
proceeds of each Borrowing, not more than 25% of the value of the assets of any of the Loan
Parties shall consist of Margin Stock.




          SECTION 3.14. Certain Representations by Subsidiary Borrowers. Each Subsidiary
Borrower severally represents and warrants that the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 3.09, 3.10 and 3.13 with respect to itself and
(if applicable) its Subsidiaries are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of

Credit or the proceeds of the Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Person, for

ARTICLE VIII




AGENTS



          Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent, and each of the L/C
Tranche Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each Several L/C Agent, as its agent hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent and/or such Several L/C
Agent, as applicable, to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent or such Several L/C Agent by the terms hereof or thereof,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.




          Any Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity
as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not such Agent, and
such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any
kind of business with, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not
such Agent hereunder.




          No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in
the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be
subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and
is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by
the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 80 -



writing by the Required Lenders
and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have
any duty to disclose, or be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as
such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or in the absence of
its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any
Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrowers or a
Lender, and no 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 this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder
or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of
the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any
other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than (in the case of the Administrative Agent) to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative 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 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. Each Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with
the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.




          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 such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform
any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.
The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to
the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well
as activities as an Agent.




          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the
Company; provided that if the Person acting as the Administrative Agent at any time is also
acting as a Several L/C Agent, such Person shall also resign as such Several L/C Agent at such
time. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with
the Company, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (which Person shall also be appointed as a
successor Several L/C Agent, if applicable). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, successor
Several L/C Agent) which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of
any such bank, in each case with a combined capital and

- 81 -



surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent)
hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent (and, if
applicable, Several L/C Agent) and the retiring Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several
L/C Agent) shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Company to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Company and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s (and, if applicable,
Several L/C Agent’s) resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was acting as Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent).




          Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any 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 any 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 or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.




          In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any
Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any L/C
Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a
claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans,
all L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the
Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
Lenders and the Agents under Sections 2.04, 2.20(c) and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding;
and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Lender and each Agent to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the
Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the
Agents, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Agents under Sections 2.04, 2.20(c) and 9.03. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Lender or any other Agent any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any other Agent or to
authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any other Agent
in any such proceeding.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the
Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents named on the cover page of this Agreement shall
not have any duties or liabilities under this Agreement (except in their capacity, if any, as

          (a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder 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 Administrative

provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y)
any action, suit, proceeding or claim solely among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or
omission of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than any such action, suit, proceeding or
claim against the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent or any
Joint Lead Arranger in its capacity, or in fulfilling its role, as Administrative Agent,
Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation
Agent or Joint Lead Arranger under this Agreement. This Section shall not apply with respect
to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.




          (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Company fails to pay any amount
required to be paid by it to any Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to such Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the
time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid
amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent in
its capacity as such.




          (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable Law,
the Loan Parties shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use or the intended
use of the proceeds thereof or any Letter of Credit or the use or the intended use thereof.




          (e) Use of Information. No Person indemnified under paragraph (b) of this Section
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other
materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in
connection with this Agreement other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of such indemnified Person as determined by a final and
nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.




          (f) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after
written demand therefor.




          SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.




          (a) Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, except that (i) no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance
with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors

and assigns permitted
hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents,
the Lenders and the Joint Lead Arrangers) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.




          (b) Assignments by Lenders. (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph
(b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, its
interests in Letters of Credit and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written
consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:





     (A) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for
an assignment to (I) a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (II) if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and provided,
further, that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment
requiring its consent under this clause (A) unless it shall object thereto by written notice
to the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days after having received written notice
thereof; and




     (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund.




     (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following conditions:




     (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
applicable Commitment, the amount of such Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each
such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000
unless each of the Company (except if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing)
and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld);




     (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to any
Tranche, except that this clause (B) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under different Tranches on a non-pro rata basis;




     (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500;




     (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit
contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public
information about the Company and its Related Parties or their respective securities) will
be made available and who may receive such information in accordance




Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 87 -



with the assignee’s
compliance procedures and applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities Laws; and




     (E) no such assignment shall be made to (I) the Company or any of the Company’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (II) 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 subclause (II), (III) a natural person or a
corporation, limited liability company, trust or other entity owned, operated or
established for the primary benefit of a natural person and/or family members or relatives
of such person or (IV) in the case of an assignment of rights and obligations under the L/C
Tranche, any Person which is a Non-NAIC Approved Bank (unless such Non-NAIC Approved Bank
shall have in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement or Limited Fronting Lender Agreement, in
each case, with a Person or Lender, as applicable, which is a NAIC Approved Bank).



          (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 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights
or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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.




          (iv) Maintenance of Register by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent,
acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties, 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 Commitments of, the principal amount of the
Loans owing to and the Letters of Credit issued by, 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 Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent 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 any Loan Party and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.




          (v) Effectiveness of Assignments. 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;
provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 88 -



shall have failed to make any
payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.15(e), 2.20(c) or 9.03(c), the
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record
the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full,
together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this
Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.




          (c) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and its interests
in Letters of Credit); 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 Company, the Administrative Agent and the
other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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. The
Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and
2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant
to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) shall be subject to
the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(f) (it
being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the
participating Lender); (B) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16 as if
it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (C) shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14, with respect to any participation, than its
participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to
receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired
the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(d) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that
sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the
Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the
principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans, Letters of
Credit or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the
Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information
relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loan, promissory note, Letter of Credit or
other obligations under any Loan Document) except if additional payments under Sections 2.12 and
2.14 are requested with respect to such Participant and except to the extent that such disclosure
is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, promissory note, 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





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 89 -



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.




          (d) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, 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 assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.




          SECTION 9.05. Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties
herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making by the
Lenders of any Loans and the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letters of Credit, regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Lender and notwithstanding that the Administrative
Agent or any 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, any Unreimbursed Amount or any fee
or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and
unpaid and so long as the Commitments and Letters of Credit have not expired or been terminated.
The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, any
assignment of rights by, or replacement of, a Lender, the expiration or termination of the
Commitments and the Letters of Credit, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations
under the Loan Documents, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of any Loan
Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Lender.




          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, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect
to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement
by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.




          SECTION 9.07. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 90 -



shall not
be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to
replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect
of which comes as close
as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.




          SECTION 9.08. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of
any Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or
any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any
part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or
required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection
with any proceeding under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or
similar Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if
such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of
any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the
date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds
Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the
preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.




          SECTION 9.09. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and its Affiliates are 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 indebtedness at any time owing by
such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any
and all of the obligations of such Loan Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and
although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may
have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any
such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such setoff and application.




          SECTION 9.10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.




          (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the law of the State of New York.




          (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District
Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.




          (c) Waiver of Venue. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court.




          (d) Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service
of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will
affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by
Law.




          SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.




          SECTION 9.12. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect
the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.




          SECTION 9.13. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ Related Parties (it being understood
that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of
such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested
by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the NAIC), (c) to the

extent
required by any applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to
any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or
under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an
agreement in writing containing provisions substantially the same as those of this paragraph and
for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any
actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative other transaction
under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this
Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this paragraph or
(ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a
source other than the Company. In the event that the Administrative Agent or any Lender becomes
legally compelled to disclose any confidential Information pursuant to clause (c) of this Section,
the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall, to the extent permitted by Law, give prompt written
notice of that fact to the Company prior to the disclosure, and in the event that the Company shall
advise the Administrative Agent or such Lender that it will seek an appropriate remedy to prevent
or limit such disclosure, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall cooperate
reasonably (at the expense of the Company) with the Company in seeking such remedy. For the
purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company
relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that
is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Company; provided that, in the case of written information received from
the Company after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at or prior to the time
of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as
provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such
Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as
such Person would accord to its own confidential information.




          EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION (AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION) FURNISHED TO IT
PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY AND
ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE
PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH
MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE
SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY
AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE
COMPANY AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN

pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law
October 26, 2001)), such Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and
other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with said
Act.

of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or
other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees
that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the

Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Joint Lead Arrangers has any obligation to the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the

the Company or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Loan Party hereby
waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
the Joint Lead Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty
in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.




ARTICLE X




GUARANTEE



          SECTION 10.01. Guarantee. The Company hereby guarantees to each Lender and the
Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when
due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations of each
Subsidiary Borrower strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein
collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Company hereby further agrees





Four-Year Credit Agreement







 



- 94 -



that
if any Subsidiary Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower, the
Company will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case
of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of such Guaranteed Obligations, the same will
be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in
accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.




          SECTION 10.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Company under
Section 10.01 are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness,
validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Subsidiary Borrowers under this
Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or
exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of any Law of any jurisdiction or any
other event affecting any term of any Guaranteed Obligation or any other circumstance whatsoever
that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor,
it being the intent of this Article that the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be absolute
and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or
impair the liability of the Company hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as
described above:





     (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Company, the time for any
performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or
such performance or compliance shall be waived;




     (ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other
agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted; or




     (iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of
the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any
right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be
waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor
shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with.



          The Company hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all

_______, 201_



To JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,

as Administrative Agent

[Address]

Attention:




Re: Subsidiary Borrower Designation



Ladies and Gentlemen:




          Reference is made to the Four-Year Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as
of October 12, 2011 among American International Group Inc. (the “Company”), the Subsidiary
Borrowers party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative
Agent (the “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.




          The Company hereby designates [_____] (the “Designated Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned
Domestic Subsidiary of the Company and a [corporation/limited liability company] duly organized
under the laws of State of [____], as a Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19(a) of
the Credit Agreement until such designation is terminated in accordance with Section 2.19(c)
thereof.




          The Designated Subsidiary hereby accepts the above designation and hereby expressly and
unconditionally accepts the obligations of a Subsidiary Borrower under the Credit Agreement,
adheres to the Credit Agreement and agrees and confirms that, upon your execution and return to the
Company of the enclosed copy of this Subsidiary Borrower Designation, it shall be a Subsidiary
Borrower for purposes of the Credit Agreement and agrees to be bound by and perform and comply with
the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement applicable to it as if it had originally executed
the Credit Agreement as a Subsidiary Borrower.




          The Company hereby confirms and agrees that, after giving effect to this Subsidiary Borrower
Designation, the Guarantee of the Company contained in Article X of the Credit Agreement shall
apply to all of the obligations of the Designated Subsidiary under the Credit Agreement.




          The Designated Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants:





     1. Each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.14 of the Credit
Agreement is true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such
representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects), in each case
as it relates to the Designated Subsidiary and its subsidiaries;

specified on the signature pages below; and




     3. The Designated Subsidiary shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the documents
and certificates set forth in, or required by, Section 2.19(b) of the Credit Agreement.



          The designation of the Designated Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower under the Credit
Agreement shall become effective as of the date (the “Designation Effective Date”) on which
the Administrative Agent accepts this Subsidiary Borrower Designation as provided on the signature
pages below. As of the Designation Effective Date, the Designated Subsidiary shall be entitled to
the rights, and subject to the obligations, of a Subsidiary Borrower. Except as expressly herein
provided, the Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.




          The Designated Subsidiary hereby agrees that this Subsidiary Borrower Designation, the Credit
Agreement and the promissory notes (if any) executed and delivered by the Designated Subsidiary
pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of
the State of New York. The Designated Subsidiary hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of
any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America, in each case sitting in
New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, for the purposes of all legal
proceedings arising out of or relating to this Subsidiary Borrower Designation, the Credit
Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. THE DESIGNATED SUBSIDIARY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSIDIARY BORROWER DESIGNATION, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT
OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.




          This Subsidiary Borrower Designation may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
