The proceeds of each Mandatory Borrowing shall be remitted directly to the Swing Line Lender to repay such outstanding Swing Line Loan.  Each Lender irrevocably agrees to make a Revolving Credit Loan

Each Lender shall also be liable for an amount equal to the product of its Commitment Percentage and any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.2 that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned.  Such liabilities shall be unconditional and without regard to the occurrence of any Default or the compliance by the Borrower with any of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

The Administrative Agent shall distribute such interest payments to the Swing Line Lender upon receipt thereof in like funds as received.
		

		
			(e)       Whenever the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by the Borrower for the account of the Swing Line Lender for any payment in connection with Swing Line Loans and such payment relates to an amount previously paid by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2, the Administrative Agent will promptly remit such payment to such Lender.

			Business Day immediately preceding the Commitment Termination Date).  Promptly after its receipt of each Competitive Bid Request that is not rejected as aforesaid, the Administrative Agent shall invite by fax or email (in the form of Exhibit G) the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) to bid, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make Competitive Bid Loans pursuant to such Competitive Bid Request.
		

		
			(b)       Each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), in its sole and absolute discretion, may make one or more Competitive Bids to the Borrower responsive to a Competitive Bid Request.  Each Competitive Bid by a Lender must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 A.M. on the proposed Borrowing Date for the relevant Competitive Bid Loan.  Multiple bids will be accepted by the Administrative Agent.  Bids to make Competitive Bid Loans that, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, do not conform to the Bids solicited by the related Competitive Bid Request shall be rejected by the Administrative Agent.  Bids to make Competitive Bid Loans that do not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit H may be rejected by the Administrative Agent after conferring with, and upon the instruction of, the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lender making such nonconforming bid of such rejection as soon as practicable.  Each Competitive Bid shall be irrevocable and shall specify (x) the principal amount (which (1) shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (2) may equal the entire principal amount requested by the Borrower) of the Competitive Bid Loan or Competitive Bid Loans that the Lender is willing to make to the Borrower, (y) the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at which the Lender is prepared to make such Competitive Bid Loan or Competitive Bid Loans, and (z) the Competitive Interest Period with respect to each such Competitive Bid Loan and the last day thereof.  If any Lender shall elect not to make a Competitive Bid, such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent by fax or email not later than 10:00 A.M. on the proposed Borrowing Date therefor, provided that the failure by any Lender to give any such notice shall not obligate such Lender to make any Competitive Bid Loan in connection with the relevant Competitive Bid Request.
		

		
			(c)       With respect to each Competitive Bid Request, the Administrative Agent shall (i) notify the Borrower by fax or email by 11:00 A.M. on the proposed Borrowing Date with respect thereto of each Competitive Bid made, the Competitive Bid Rate applicable thereto and the identity of the Lender that made such Competitive Bid, and (ii) send a list of all Competitive Bids to the Borrower for its records as soon as practicable after completion of the bidding process.

			(1)       the Borrower shall not accept a Competitive Bid of a given tenor made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if the Borrower has decided to reject a Competitive Bid having the same tenor made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate unless the acceptance of such lower Competitive Bid would subject the Borrower to any requirement to withhold any taxes or deduct any amount from any amounts payable under the Loan Documents, in which case the Borrower may reject such lower Competitive Bid, 
		

		
			(2)       the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the Borrower shall not exceed the principal amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request therefor,
		

		
			(3)       if the Borrower shall desire to accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate, it must accept all other Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, except for any such Competitive Bid the acceptance of which would subject the Borrower to any requirement to withhold any taxes or deduct any amount from any amounts payable under the Loan Documents; provided that if the acceptance of all such other Competitive Bids would cause the aggregate amount of all such accepted Competitive Bids to exceed the amount requested, then such acceptance shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid at such Competitive Bid Rate,
		

		
			(4)       except pursuant to clause (3) above, no Competitive Bid shall be accepted unless the Competitive Bid Loan with respect thereto shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and

			(f)       Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such bid directly to the Borrower not later than 9:30 A.M. on the relevant proposed Borrowing Date.

The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prior to the 90th day prior to the then-applicable Commitment Termination Date, at its sole cost and expense, request any one or more of the Lenders having a Commitment to increase its Commitment Amount (the decision to increase the Commitment Amount of a Lender to be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender), or any other Eligible Assignee reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuer to provide a new Commitment, by submitting to the Administrative Agent a Commitment Increase Supplement, duly executed by the Borrower and each such Lender or other Eligible Assignee, as the case may be.  Upon receipt of any such Commitment Increase Supplement, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuer shall promptly execute such Commitment Increase Supplement and the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to the Borrower and each such Lender or other Eligible Assignee, as the case may be.

			each such Increasing Lender and each such New Lender a portion of its Revolving Credit Loans necessary to reflect proportionately the Commitments as increased in accordance with this Section 2.6(d), and (B) in connection with such assignment, each such Increasing Lender and each such New Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each such other Lender, such amount as shall be necessary to reflect the assignment to it of Revolving Credit Loans, and in connection with such master assignment each such other Lender may treat the assignment of Eurodollar Advances as a prepayment of such Eurodollar Advances for purposes of Section 3.5;

			(a)       Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the payment by the Borrower to each Issuer of such fees as the Borrower and such Issuer shall have agreed in writing, each Issuer severally (and not jointly) agrees, in reliance on the agreement of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.9, to issue standby or commercial letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”)  during the Commitment Period for the account of the Borrower; provided that immediately after the issuance of each Letter of Credit (i) the Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders shall not exceed the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment Amount, (iii) the Letter of Credit Exposure of such Issuer shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment of such Issuer, and (iv) the Commercial Letter of Credit Exposure of such Issuer shall not exceed the Commercial Letter of Credit Commitment of such Issuer.  Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date which shall be not later than, in the case of standby Letters of Credit, the earlier to occur of one year from the date of issuance thereof or 5 days prior to the Commitment Termination Date and, in the case of commercial Letters of Credit, the earlier to occur of 180 days from the date of issuance thereof or 5 days prior to the Commitment Termination Date.  No Letter of Credit shall be issued if the Administrative Agent, or any Lender by notice to the Administrative Agent and the proposed Issuer no later than 3:00 P.M. one Domestic Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, shall have determined that the conditions set forth in Section 6 have not been satisfied or waived.
		

		
			(b)       Each Letter of Credit shall be issued at the request of the Borrower in support of an obligation of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in favor of a beneficiary who has requested the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Request for the issuance of each Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon at least two Domestic Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance.  Such Letter of Credit Request shall specify (i) whether such Letter of Credit is a standby or commercial Letter of Credit, (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower or the Subsidiary in respect of which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (iii) the Borrower’s proposal as to the conditions under which a drawing may be made under such Letter of Credit and the documentation to be required in respect thereof, (iv) the maximum amount to be available under such Letter of Credit, (v) the requested date of issuance, and (vi) the name of the proposed Issuer thereof.  Upon receipt of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuer and each Lender thereof.

			Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer thereof, with such provisions with respect to the conditions under which a drawing may be made thereunder and the documentation required in respect of such drawing as such Issuer shall reasonably require.  Each Letter of Credit shall be used solely for the purposes described therein.  Each Letter of Credit Request and each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the standard terms and conditions for letters of credit of the Issuer thereof (each as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, a “Reimbursement Agreement”) executed by the Borrower and delivered to such Issuer.
		

		
			(c)       Each payment by an Issuer of a draft drawn under a Letter of Credit issued thereby shall give rise to the obligation of the Borrower to promptly (and in any event within one Domestic Business Day) reimburse such Issuer for the amount thereof.  Such Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower of such payment by such Issuer of a draft drawn under a Letter of Credit.  In lieu of such notice, if the Borrower has not made reimbursement prior to the end of the Domestic Business Day following the day during which such Issuer made such payment of such draft, the Borrower hereby authorizes such Issuer to deduct the amount of any such reimbursement from such account(s) as the Borrower may from time to time designate in writing to such Issuer, upon which such Issuer shall apply the amount of such deduction to such reimbursement.  If all or any portion of any Reimbursement Obligation in respect of a Letter of Credit shall not be paid on the date that the Issuer thereof shall have made payment of a draft drawn under such Letter of Credit, the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to ABR Advances, from the date such Issuer made such payment of such draft until the end of the Domestic Business Day following the day during which such Issuer made such payment of such draft (whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration or otherwise), and from and after such Domestic Business Day (whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration or otherwise), such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest, payable upon demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to ABR Advances plus 2%, from such due date until paid in full (whether before or after the entry of a judgment thereon).
		

		
			(d)       In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Reimbursement Agreement or Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.
		

		
			2.9       Letter of Credit Participation
		

		
			(a)       Each Lender hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, severally (and not jointly) takes an undivided participating interest in the obligations of each Issuer under and in connection with each Letter of Credit issued thereby in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (as in effect from time to time) of the amount of such Letter of Credit.  Each Lender shall be liable to each Issuer for its Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any draft drawn and honored under each Letter of Credit issued thereby.  Each Lender shall also be liable for an amount equal to the product of its Commitment Percentage and any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8 that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned.  Such liabilities shall be unconditional and without regard to the occurrence of any Default or the compliance by the Borrower with any of its obligations under the Loan Documents.
		

		
			(b)       Each Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender (which notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing), of the date and the amount of each draft paid under each Letter of Credit

			issued by such Issuer with respect to which full reimbursement payment shall not have been made by the Borrower as provided in Section 2.8(c), and forthwith upon receipt of such notice, such Lender shall promptly make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such unreimbursed draft at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 11.2 in Dollars and in immediately available funds.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute the payments made by each Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to such Issuer promptly upon receipt thereof in like funds as received.  Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Issuer from and against any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) resulting from any failure on the part of such Lender to provide, or from any delay in providing, the Administrative Agent with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of any payment made by such Issuer under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer in accordance with this clause (b) (except in respect of losses, liabilities or other obligations suffered by the Administrative Agent or such Issuer, as the case may be, resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Issuer, as the case may be).  If a Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent when due an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed payment made by an Issuer under a Letter of Credit issued thereby, such Lender shall be required to pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer on the unpaid portion of such amount at a rate of interest per annum equal to (i) from the date such Lender should have made such amount available until the third day therefrom, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (ii) thereafter, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 2%, in each case payable upon demand by such Issuer.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such interest payments to such Issuer upon receipt thereof in like funds as received.
		

		
			(c)       Whenever the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by the Borrower, for the account of an Issuer, for any payment under a Letter of Credit issued thereby and such payment relates to an amount previously paid by a Lender in respect of its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment under such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent (or such Issuer, if such payment by a Lender was paid by the Administrative Agent to such Issuer) will promptly pay over such payment to such Lender.
		

		
			2.10       Absolute Obligation with respect to Letter of Credit Payments
		

		
			The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer for each payment under or in respect of each Letter of Credit issued thereby shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, any Lender or any other Person, including, without limitation, any defense based on the failure of any drawing to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit, any drawing document proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid, or the legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, provided that, with respect to any Letter of Credit, the foregoing shall not relieve the Issuer thereof of any liability it may have to the Borrower for any actual damages sustained by the Borrower arising from a wrongful payment (or failure to pay) under such Letter of Credit made as a result of such Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

			2.11       Notes
		

		
			Any Lender may request that the Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note.  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Person or, if requested by such Person, such Person and its registered assigns.  Thereafter, all Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.7) be represented by a Note in like form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.
		

		
			2.12       Extension of Commitment Termination Date
		

		
			(a)       Request for Extension.  The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) not more than 90 days and not less than 30 days prior to each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (each such anniversary date, an “Extension Date”), request (each, an “Extension Request”) that the Lenders extend the Commitment Termination Date then in effect (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”) for an additional one year period, provided that the Borrower may only effect one such extension of the Commitment Termination Date.  Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day (or such later day as shall be acceptable to the Borrower) following the date of the Borrower’s notice, advise the Borrower and the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension; provided that any Lender (which includes each Issuer and the Swing Line Lender) that does not so advise the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Request.  The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.
		

		
			(b)       Replacement of Non-Extending Lenders.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time on or prior to the relevant Extension Date to replace any Lender which has not consented to the Extension Request (each, a “Non-Extending Lender”) pursuant to Section 3.13.
		

		
			(c)       Conditions to Effectiveness of Extension. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date on any Extension Date shall not be effective unless, immediately before and after giving effect to such extension on such Extension Date: (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Extension Date and the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on such Extension Date (provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such Extension Date), except those which are expressly specified to be made as of an earlier date, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to such effect from the chief financial officer of the Borrower (or such other financial officer reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received such other certificates, resolutions and opinions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

			(d)       Effectiveness of Extension.  If (and only if) the conditions specified in Section 2.12(c) have been satisfied or waived with respect to the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date on the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of such Extension Date, the Commitment Termination Date, with respect to the Commitment of each Lender that has agreed to so extend its Commitment and of each Replacement Lender that has assumed a Commitment of a Non-Extending Lender in connection with such Extension Request, shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Existing Commitment Termination Date (or, if such date is not a Domestic Business Day, the immediately preceding Domestic Business Day), and each such Replacement Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) with respect to any portion of the Commitment of any Non-Extending Lender that has not been fully assumed by one or more Replacement Lenders, the Commitment Termination Date for such Lender with respect to such non-assumed portion of its Commitment shall remain unchanged, and (ii) with respect to any Loans of such Lender that have not been purchased by one or more Replacement Lenders, the applicable maturity date with respect to such non-purchased Loans shall remain unchanged and shall be repayable by the Borrower on such applicable maturity date without there being any requirement that any such repayment be shared with other Lenders.  In addition, on the Extension Date, the Borrower agrees to pay all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts then due under this Agreement from the Borrower to each Lender consenting to the Extension Request, each Non-Extending Lender and each Replacement Lender.  Solely for the purpose of calculating break funding payments under Section 3.5, the assignment by any Non-Extending Lender of any Eurodollar Advance prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto in accordance with this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to constitute a prepayment by the Borrower of such Eurodollar Advance.
		

		
			2.13       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)       Facility Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.11;
		

		
			(b)       the Commitment and Committed Credit Exposure 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 or waiver pursuant to Section 11.1); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification with respect to the following shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender: (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders, (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification increasing the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, (iii) any waiver, amendment or modification extending the Commitment Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, (iv) any waiver, amendment or modification reducing the principal amount owed under the Loan Documents to such Defaulting Lender (other than by payment thereof), or (v) any waiver, amendment or modification extending the final maturity of sums owed to such Defaulting Lender, or (vi) a modification of this Section 2.13(b);

			(c)       if any Swing Line Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
		

		
			(1)       all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Committed Credit Exposures plus, without duplication, the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure reallocated to such non-Defaulting Lenders, does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (B) with respect to each non-Defaulting Lender, the sum of such non-Defaulting Lender’s Committed Credit Exposure plus, without duplication, the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure reallocated to such non-Defaulting Lender, does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment;
		

		
			(2)       if the reallocation described in clause (1) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Domestic Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (A) first, prepay such Swing Line Exposure and (B) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (1) above) in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuers for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding;
		

		
			(3)       if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.13(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Participation Fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.12 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized; and
		

		
			(4)       if the Swing Line Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.13(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.11 and Section 3.12 shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any reallocation described in this Section 2.13(c);
		

		
			(d)       so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and no Issuer shall be required to issue, amend, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.13(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.13(c)(1) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein);
		

		
			(e)       any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise

			be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.9 but excluding Section 3.13) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuers and the Swing Line Lender hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, to the funding of any Revolving Credit Loan (including any Mandatory Borrowing) in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans (including any Mandatory Borrowings) under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuers or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Loan (including any Mandatory Borrowing) or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of drawings under Letters of Credit paid by an Issuer with respect to which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6 are satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Revolving Credit Loans (including Mandatory Borrowings) of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender; 
		

		
			(f)       The Borrower shall have the right at any time during which a Lender is a Defaulting Lender to replace such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.13; and
		

		
			(g)       Subject to Section 11.22, no reallocation pursuant to Section 2.13(c) shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from a Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

			3.         PROCEEDS, PAYMENTS, CONVERSIONS, INTEREST, YIELD PROTECTION AND FEES
		

		
			3.1       Disbursement of the Proceeds of the Loans
		

		
			The Administrative Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Loans (other than the Swing Line Loans) at its office specified in Section 11.2 by crediting to the Borrower’s general deposit account with the Administrative Agent the funds received from each Lender.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received prior notice from a Lender (by telephone or otherwise, such notice to be confirmed by fax, email or other writing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans, or the amount of any Competitive Bid Loan, to be made by it on a Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in accordance with this Section 3.1,  provided that, in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan, such Lender received notice thereof from the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand, such corresponding amount (to the extent not previously paid by the other), together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to, in the case of the Borrower, the applicable interest rate set forth in Section 3.4(a) and, in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate (but not less than 0.0%) from the date such payment is due until the third day after such date and, thereafter, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate (but not less than 0.0%) plus 2%.  Any such payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to its rights against such Lender.  If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Loans for purposes of this Agreement, which Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender on the Borrowing Date applicable to such Loans.
		

		
			3.2       Payments
		

		
			(a)       Each payment, including each prepayment, of principal and interest on the Loans and of the Facility Fee and the Letter of Credit Participation Fee (collectively, together with all of the other fees to be paid to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuers and the Swing Line Lender in connection with the Loan Documents, the “Fees”), and of all of the other amounts to be paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loan Documents (other than amounts payable to a Lender under Section 3.5,  Section 3.6,  Section 3.10,  Section 11.5 and Section 11.10) shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its office specified in Section 11.2 without setoff, deduction or counterclaim in funds immediately available in New York by 3:00 P.M. on the due date for such payment.  The failure of the Borrower to make any such payment by such time shall not constitute a default hereunder, provided that such payment is made on such due date, but any such payment made after 3:00 P.M. on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next Domestic Business Day or Eurodollar Business Day, as the case may be, for the purpose of calculating interest on amounts outstanding on the Loans.  If the Borrower has not made any such payment prior to 3:00 P.M.,

			the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deduct the amount of any such payment from such account(s) as the Borrower may from time to time designate in writing to the Administrative Agent, upon which the Administrative Agent shall apply the amount of such deduction to such payment.  Promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, each payment of principal and interest on the: (i) Revolving Credit Loans shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received to each Lender (a) first, pro rata according to the amount of interest which is then due and payable to the Lenders, and (b) second, pro rata according to the amount of principal which is then due and payable to the Lenders, (ii) Competitive Bid Loans shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received to each applicable Lender and (iii) Swing Line Loans shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received to the Swing Line Lender.  Each payment of the Facility Fee and the Letter of Credit Participation Fee payable to the Lenders shall be promptly transmitted by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received to each Lender pro rata according to such Lender’s Commitment Amount or, if the Commitments shall have terminated or been terminated, according to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans. 
		

		
			(b)       If any payment hereunder or under the Loans shall be due and payable on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day or a Eurodollar Business Day, as the case may be, the due date thereof (except as otherwise provided in the definition of Eurodollar Interest Period or Competitive Interest Period) shall be extended to the next Domestic Business Day or Eurodollar Business Day, as the case may be,, and (except with respect to payments in respect of the Facility Fee and the Letter of Credit Participation Fee) interest shall be payable at the applicable rate specified herein during such extension.
		

		
			3.3       Conversions; Other Matters
		

		
			(a)       The Borrower may elect at any time and from time to time to Convert one or more Eurodollar Advances to an ABR Advance by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Domestic Business Day’s prior irrevocable notice of such election, specifying the amount to be so Converted.  In addition, the Borrower may elect at any time and from time to time to Convert an ABR Advance to any one or more new Eurodollar Advances or to Convert any one or more existing Eurodollar Advances to any one or more new Eurodollar Advances by giving the Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 A.M. at least two Eurodollar Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, specifying the amount to be so Converted and the initial Interest Period relating thereto, provided that any Conversion of an ABR Advance to an Eurodollar Advance shall only be made on a Eurodollar Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide the Lenders with notice of each such election.  Each Conversion of Loans shall be made pro rata according to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of each Lender.  ABR Advances and Eurodollar Advances may be Converted pursuant to this Section 3.3 in whole or in part, provided that the amount to be Converted to each Eurodollar Advance, when aggregated with any Eurodollar Advance to be made on such date in accordance with Section 2.1 and having the same Interest Period as such first Eurodollar Advance, shall equal no less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
		

		
			(b)       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall not have the right to elect to Convert any existing ABR Advance to a Eurodollar Advance or to Convert any existing Eurodollar Advance to a new Eurodollar Advance if (i) a Default or

			Event of Default under Section 9.1(a),  Section 9.1(b),  Section 9.1(h), Section 9.1(i) or Section 9.1(j) shall then exist, or (ii) any other Event of Default shall then exist and the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower at the request of the Required Lenders that no ABR Advance or Eurodollar Advance may be Converted to a new Eurodollar Advance.  In such event, such ABR Advance shall be automatically continued as an ABR Advance or such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically Converted to an ABR Advance on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Advance.  The foregoing shall not affect any other rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
		

		
			(c)       Each Conversion shall be effected by each Lender by applying the proceeds of each new ABR Advance or Eurodollar Advance, as the case may be, to the existing ABR Advance or Eurodollar Advance (or portion thereof) being Converted (it being understood that such Conversion shall not constitute a borrowing for purposes of Section 4 or Section 6).
		

		
			(d)       Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document:
		

		
			(1)       if the Borrower shall have failed to elect a Eurodollar Advance under Section 2.3 or this Section 3.3, as the case may be, in connection with any borrowing of new Revolving Credit Loans or expiration of an Interest Period with respect to any existing Eurodollar Advance, the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans subject to such borrowing or such existing Eurodollar Advance shall thereafter be an ABR Advance until such time, if any, as the Borrower shall elect a new Eurodollar Advance pursuant to this Section 3.3,
		

		
			(2)       the Borrower shall not be permitted to select a Eurodollar Advance the Interest Period in respect of which ends later than the Commitment Termination Date or such earlier date upon which all of the Commitments shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 2.6, and
		

		
			(3)       the Borrower shall not be permitted to have more than 15 Eurodollar Advances and Competitive Bid Loans, in the aggregate, outstanding at any one time; it being understood and agreed that each borrowing of Eurodollar Advances or Competitive Bid Loans pursuant to a single Borrowing Request or Competitive Bid Request, as the case may be, shall constitute the making of one Eurodollar Advance or Competitive Bid Loan for the purpose of calculating such limitation.
		

		
			3.4       Interest Rates and Payment Dates
		

		
			(a)       Prior to Maturity.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4(b) and Section 3.4(c), the Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal balance thereof at the applicable interest rate or rates per annum set forth below:
		

			
					
						LOANS

					
					
						RATE

				
	
					
						Revolving Credit Loans constituting ABR Advances

					
					
						Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

			(b)       After Maturity, Late Payment Rate.  After maturity, whether by acceleration, notice of intention to prepay or otherwise, the outstanding principal balance of each Loan shall bear interest at the applicable interest rate on such Loan plus 2% per annum until paid (whether before or after the entry of any judgment thereon).  Any payment of principal or interest on the Loans, Fees or other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents not paid on the date when due and payable shall bear interest, in the case of principal or interest on a Loan, at the applicable interest rate on such Loan plus 2% per annum and, in the case of any Fees or other amounts, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum, in each case from the due date thereof until the date such payment is made (whether before or after the entry of any judgment thereon).
		

		
			(c)       Highest Lawful Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at no time shall the interest rate payable to any Lender on any of its Loans, together with the Fees and all other amounts payable hereunder to such Lender to the extent the same constitute or are deemed to constitute interest, exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.  If in respect of any period during the term of this Agreement, any amount paid to any Lender hereunder, to the extent the same shall (but for the provisions of this Section 3.4) constitute or be deemed to constitute interest, would exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate during such period (such amount being hereinafter referred to as an “Unqualified Amount”), then (i) such Unqualified Amount shall be applied or shall be deemed to have been applied as a prepayment of the Loans of such Lender, and (ii) if, in any subsequent period during the term of this Agreement, all amounts payable hereunder to such Lender in respect of such period which constitute or shall be deemed to constitute interest shall be less than the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate during such period, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender in respect of such period an amount (each a “Compensatory Interest Payment”) equal to the lesser of (x) a sum which, when added to all such amounts, would equal the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate during such period, and (y) an amount equal to the aggregate sum of all Unqualified Amounts less all other Compensatory Interest Payments.
		

		
			(d)       General.  Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, on the Commitment Termination Date, to the extent provided in Section 2.7(b), upon each prepayment of the Loans and, to the extent provided in Section 2.12(d), on the Extension Date.  Any change in the interest rate on the Loans resulting from an increase or a decrease in the Alternate Base Rate or any reserve requirement shall become effective as of the opening of

			business on the day on which such change shall become effective.  The Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each change in the BNY Mellon Rate, but any failure to so notify shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest on the Loans in the amounts and on the dates set forth herein.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the Alternate Base Rate, the Eurodollar Rate and the Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error.  The Borrower acknowledges that to the extent interest payable on the Loans is based on the Alternate Base Rate, such rate is only one of the bases for computing interest on loans made by the Lenders, and by basing interest payable on ABR Advances on the Alternate Base Rate, the Lenders have not committed to charge, and the Borrower has not in any way bargained for, interest based on a lower or the lowest rate at which the Lenders may now or in the future make extensions of credit to other Persons.  All interest (other than interest calculated with reference to the BNY Mellon Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed, and all interest determined with reference to the BNY Mellon Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

			Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if: (i) the Borrower shall fail to borrow a Eurodollar Advance or if the Borrower shall fail to Convert all or any portion of any Revolving Credit Loan  constituting an ABR Advance to a Eurodollar Advance after it shall have given notice to do so in which it shall have requested a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 3.3, as the case may be, (ii) the Borrower shall fail to borrow a Competitive Bid Loan after it shall have accepted any offer with respect thereto in accordance with Section 2.4 or a Swing Line Loan after it shall have agreed to a Negotiated Rate with respect thereto in accordance with Section 2.2(a), (iii) a Eurodollar Advance, Competitive Bid Loan or Swing Line Loan shall be terminated for any reason prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (other than the termination of a Swing Line Loan resulting from a Mandatory Borrowing at a time when no Default shall exist), (iv) any repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of a Eurodollar Advance, Competitive Bid Loan or Swing Line Loan is made for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (other than the repayment or prepayment of a Swing Line Loan resulting from a Mandatory Borrowing at a time when no Default shall exist), (v) the Borrower shall have revoked a notice of prepayment or notice of termination of the Commitments, the Swing Line Commitment and the Letter of Credit Commitment that was conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities pursuant to Section 2.6 or Section 2.7, or (vi) a Eurodollar Advance is assigned other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of an increase in the Aggregate Commitment Amount pursuant to Section  2.6(d) or a replacement of a Lender pursuant to clause (x) or (z) of Section 3.13, then the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender against, and to pay on demand directly to such Lender the amount (calculated by such Lender using any method chosen by such Lender which is customarily used by such Lender for such purpose for borrowers similar to the Borrower) equal to any loss or expense suffered by such Lender as a result of such failure to borrow or Convert, or such termination, repayment, prepayment or revocation, including any loss, cost or expense suffered by such Lender in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the funding of such Eurodollar Advance, Competitive Bid Loan or Swing Line Loan, as the case may be, or redeploying funds prepaid or repaid, in amounts which correspond to such Eurodollar Advance, Competitive Bid Loan

			3.6       Reimbursement for Costs, Etc.
		

		
			If at any time or from time to time there shall occur a Regulatory Change and any Issuer or any Lender shall have reasonably determined that such Regulatory Change (i) shall have had or will thereafter have the effect of reducing (A) the rate of return on such Issuer’s or such Lender’s capital or liquidity or the capital or liquidity of any Person directly or indirectly owning or controlling such Issuer or such Lender (each a “Control Person”), or (B) the asset value (for capital or liquidity purposes) to such Issuer, such Lender or such Control Person, as applicable, of the Reimbursement Obligations, or any participation therein, or the Loans, or any participation therein, in any case to a level below that which such Issuer, such Lender or such Control Person could have achieved or would thereafter be able to achieve but for such Regulatory Change (after taking into account such Issuer’s, such Lender’s or such Control Person’s policies regarding capital or liquidity), (ii) will impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, asset, special deposit or special assessment requirements on deposits obtained in the interbank eurodollar market in connection with the Loan Documents (excluding, with respect to any Eurodollar Advance, any such requirement which is included in the determination of the rate applicable thereto), or (iii) will subject such Issuer, such Lender or such Control Person, as applicable, to any tax (documentary, stamp or otherwise) with respect to this Agreement, any Note, any Reimbursement Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, in the case of clause (iii) above, for any Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes) then, in each such case, within ten days after demand by such Issuer or such Lender, as applicable, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Issuer, such Lender or such Control Person, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuer, such Lender or such Control Person, as the case may be, for any such reduction, reserve or other requirement, tax, loss, cost or expense (excluding general administrative and overhead costs) (collectively, “Costs”) attributable to such Issuer’s, such Lender’s or such Control Person’s compliance during the term hereof with such Regulatory Change, but only if such Costs are generally applicable to (and for which reimbursement is generally being sought by such Issuer, such Lender or such Control Person, as applicable, in respect of) credit transactions similar to this transaction from similarly situated borrowers (which are parties to credit or loan documentation containing a provision similar to this Section 3.6), as determined by such Issuer or such Lender, as applicable, in its reasonable discretion.  Each Issuer and each Lender may make multiple requests for compensation under this Section 3.6.
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to compensate any Lender for any Costs under this Section 3.6 arising prior to 45 days preceding the date of demand, unless the applicable Regulatory Change giving rise to such Costs is imposed retroactively.  In the case of retroactivity, such notice shall be provided to the Borrower not later than 45 days from the date that such Lender learned of such Regulatory Change.  The Borrower’s obligation to compensate such Lender shall be contingent upon the provision of such timely notice (but any failure by such Lender to provide such timely notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations with respect to (i) Costs incurred from the date as of which such Regulatory Change became effective to the date that is 45 days after the date such Lender reasonably should have learned of such Regulatory Change and (ii) Costs incurred following the provision of such notice).

			3.7       Illegality of Funding
		

		
			Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Lender shall reasonably determine that any law, regulation, treaty or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Advance as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, and (a) the commitment of such Lender to make such Eurodollar Advances or Convert ABR Advances to such Eurodollar Advances shall forthwith be suspended, (b) such Lender shall fund its portion of each requested Eurodollar Advance as an ABR Advance and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as such Eurodollar Advances, if any, shall be Converted automatically to an ABR Advance on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto or at such earlier time as may be required.  If the commitment of any Lender with respect to Eurodollar Advances is suspended pursuant to this Section 3.7 and such Lender shall have obtained actual knowledge that it is once again legal for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Advances, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof and, upon receipt of such notice by each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, such Lender’s commitment to make or maintain Eurodollar Advances shall be reinstated.  If the commitment of any Lender with respect to Eurodollar Advances is suspended pursuant to this Section 3.7, such suspension shall not otherwise affect such Lender’s Commitment.
		

		
			3.8       Option to Fund; Substituted Interest Rate
		

		
			(a)       Each Lender has indicated that, if the Borrower requests a Swing Line Loan, a Eurodollar Advance or a Competitive Bid Loan, such Lender may wish to purchase one or more deposits in order to fund or maintain its funding of its Commitment Percentage of such Eurodollar Advance or its Swing Line Loan or Competitive Bid Loan during the Interest Period with respect thereto; it being understood that the provisions of this Agreement relating to such funding are included only for the purpose of determining the rate of interest to be paid in respect of such Swing Line Loan, Eurodollar Advance or Competitive Bid Loan and any amounts owing under Section 3.5 and Section 3.6.  The Swing Line Lender and each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of each Swing Line Loan, Eurodollar Advance and Competitive Bid Loan in any manner it sees fit, but all such determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained its Commitment Percentage of each Eurodollar Advance or its Swing Line Loan or Competitive Bid Loan, as the case may be, during the applicable Interest Period through the purchase of deposits in an amount equal to the amount of its Commitment Percentage of such Eurodollar Advance or the amount of such Swing Line Loan or Competitive Bid Loan, as the case may be, and having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period.  Each Lender may fund its Loans from or for the account of any branch or office of such Lender as such Lender may choose from time to time, subject to Section 3.10.
		

		
			(b)       In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period or if by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 3.3, or (ii) the Required Lenders shall have notified the Administrative Agent that they have in good faith determined (which determination
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			46

			shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the applicable Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining or funding loans bearing interest based on such Eurodollar Rate with respect to any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans that the Borrower has requested be made as Eurodollar Advances or any Eurodollar Advance that will result from the requested Conversion of any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans into Eurodollar Advances (each, an “Affected Advance”), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders (by telephone or otherwise, to be promptly confirmed in writing) of such determination on or, to the extent practicable, prior to the requested Borrowing Date or Conversion date for such Affected Advances.  If the Administrative Agent shall give such notice, (A) any Affected Advances shall be made as ABR Advances, (B) the Revolving Credit Loans (or any portion thereof) that were to have been Converted to Affected Advances shall be Converted to or continued as ABR Advances, and (C) any outstanding Affected Advances shall be Converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to ABR Advances.  Until any notice under clauses (i) or (ii), as the case may be, of this Section 3.8(b) has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (by notice to the Borrower) promptly upon either (x) the Administrative Agent having determined that such circumstances affecting the relevant market no longer exist and that adequate and reasonable means do exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 3.3, or (y) the Administrative Agent having been notified by the Required Lenders that circumstances no longer render the Loans (or any portion thereof) Affected Advances, no further Eurodollar Advances shall be required to be made by the Lenders nor shall the Borrower have the right to Convert all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans to Eurodollar Advances.
		

		
			3.9       Certificates of Payment and Reimbursement
		

		
			Each Issuer and each Lender agrees, in connection with any request by it for payment or reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.5 or Section 3.6, to provide the Borrower with a certificate, signed by an officer of such Issuer or such Lender, as the case may be, setting forth a description in reasonable detail of any such payment or reimbursement and the applicable Section of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with which such request is made.  Each determination by such Issuer and such Lender of such payment or reimbursement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
		

		
			3.10       Taxes; Net Payments
		

		
			(a)       Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.10) the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender or the applicable Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

			(b)       Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
		

		
			(c)       Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuer, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.10) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, and, without duplication, any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by such Lender or such Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of such Lender or such Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  After any Lender or any Issuer (as the case may be) learns of the imposition of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, such Lender or such Issuer (as the case may be) will as soon as reasonably practicable notify the Borrower thereof; provided that the failure to provide Borrower with such notice shall not release the Borrower from its indemnification obligations under this Section 3.10.
		

		
			(d)       Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
		

		
			(e)       Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.7(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
		

		
			(f)       Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for Tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments

			hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
		

		
			Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter (i) if such Foreign Lender shall determine that any applicable form or certification has expired or will then expire or has or will then become obsolete or incorrect or that an event has occurred that requires or will then require a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (ii) upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
		

		
			(i)       duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,
		

		
			(ii)       duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
		

		
			(iii)       in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate (a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code nor (D) engaged in the conduct of a trade or business within the United States to which the interest payment is effectively connected and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E,
		

		
			(iv)       to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a typical participation), a complete and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, a United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender shall provide a United States Tax Compliance Certificate, on behalf of such beneficial owner(s) in lieu of requiring each beneficial owner to provide its own certificate, or

			(v)       any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
		

		
			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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.   Solely for purposes of this clause, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
		

		
			Without limiting the foregoing, upon request of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, each Lender and each Issuer that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code that lends to the Borrower (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower two duly signed, properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 on or prior to the Effective Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding, or any successor form.
		

		
			(g)       Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuer determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.10, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.10 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer is required to repay such refund or Tax credit to such Governmental Authority.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
		

		
			(h)       Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.6, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any

			Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.10, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.6 or this  Section 3.10, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
		

		
			(i)       Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
		

		
			3.11       Facility Fees
		

		
			The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee (the “Facility Fee”) during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Expiration Date, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter during which the Facility Fee shall commence to accrue, and on the Expiration Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin of (a) prior to the Commitment Termination Date or such earlier date upon which all of the Commitments shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 2.6, the Commitment Amount of such Lender (whether used or unused), and (b) thereafter, the sum of (i) the outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender, (ii) such Lender’s Swing Line Exposure and (iii) such Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.11, on and after the Commitment Termination Date, the Facility Fee shall be payable upon demand.  In addition, upon each reduction of the Aggregate Commitment Amount, the Borrower shall pay the Facility Fee accrued on the amount of such reduction through the date of such reduction.  The Facility Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
		

		
			3.12       Letter of Credit Participation Fee
		

		
			The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of each Lender a fee (the “Letter of Credit Participation Fee”) with respect to the Letters of Credit during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Commitment Termination Date or, if later, the date when the Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders is $0, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Effective Date shall have occurred, and on the last date of such period, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, the Applicable Margin of the average daily aggregate amount which may be drawn under all standby Letters of Credit during such period (whether or not the

The Letter of Credit Participation Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
		

		
			3.13       Replacement of Lender
		

		
			If (x) the Borrower is obligated to pay to any Lender any amount under Section 3.6 or Section 3.10, the Borrower shall have the right within 90 days thereafter, (y) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right at any time during which such Lender shall remain a Defaulting Lender, or (z) any Lender shall have not consented to an Extension Request, the Borrower shall have the right at any time on the relevant Extension Date, in each case in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.7(b) and only if no Default shall exist, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”), reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuer, provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumptions pursuant to Section 11.7(b) (with the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 11.7(b) payable pursuant to said Section 11.7(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the Commitment, the outstanding Loans, the Swing Line Exposure and the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay the following: (a) to the Replaced Lender, an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans and Swing Line Participation Amounts of the Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to all drawings on all Letters of Credit that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but unpaid, fees owing to the Replaced Lender, (b) to each Issuer, an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Commitment Percentage of all drawings  on Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer (which at such time remain unpaid drawings) to the extent such amount was not funded by such Replaced Lender, (c) to the Swing Line Lender, an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not funded by such Replaced Lender, and (d) to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to all amounts owed by such Replaced Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, including, without limitation, an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, a corresponding amount of which was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower pursuant to  Section 3.1 and which has not been repaid to the Administrative Agent by such Replaced Lender or the Borrower, and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.  Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumptions and the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.13, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement that are intended to survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of the Loans which may be applicable to any such Replaced Lender prior to the date of its replacement.  Solely for the purpose of calculating break funding payments under Section 3.5, the assignment by any Replaced Lender of any Eurodollar Advance prior to the last day of the

			4.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
		

		
			In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers to enter into this Agreement, the Lenders to make the Loans and the Issuers to issue Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers:
		

		
			4.1       Existence and Power
		

		
			Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation (except, in the case of the Subsidiaries, where the failure to be in such good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect), has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its Property and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real Property or in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified (except those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect).
		

		
			4.2       Authority; EEA Financial Institution
		

		
			The Borrower has full corporate power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform the terms of the Loan Documents, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary corporate action and are not in contravention of any applicable law or the terms of its Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws.  No consent or approval of, or other action by, shareholders of the Borrower, any Governmental Authority, or any other Person (which has not already been obtained) is required to authorize in respect of the Borrower, or is required in connection with, the execution, delivery, and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents or is required as a condition to the enforceability of the Loan Documents against the Borrower.  The Borrower is not an EEA Financial Institution.
		

		
			4.3       Binding Agreement
		

		
			The Loan Documents constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles relating to the availability of specific performance as a remedy.
		

		
			4.4       Litigation
		

		
			As of the Effective Date, there are no actions, suits, arbitration proceedings or claims (whether purportedly on behalf of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or otherwise) pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective Properties, or maintained by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, at law or in equity,

			before any Governmental Authority which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect.  There are no proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary (a) which call into question the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, or otherwise seek to invalidate, any Loan Document, or (b) which might, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by any Loan Document.
		

		
			4.5       No Conflicting Agreements
		

		
			(a)       Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of its Property is bound the effect of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect.  No notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents.
		

		
			(b)       No provision of any existing material mortgage, material indenture, material contract or material agreement or of any existing statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affecting the Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary conflicts with, or requires any consent which has not already been obtained under, or would in any way prevent the execution, delivery or performance, by the Borrower of the terms of, any Loan Document.  Neither the execution and delivery, nor the performance, by the Borrower of the terms of each Loan Document will constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of, or obligation to create, any Lien upon the Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement.
		

		
			4.6       Taxes
		

		
			The Borrower and each Subsidiary has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns, and has paid, or has made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or in any assessments made against them, the failure of which to file or pay could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect, and no tax Liens (other than Liens permitted under Section 8.2) have been filed against the Borrower or any Subsidiary and no claims are being asserted with respect to such taxes which are required by GAAP to be reflected in the Financial Statements and are not so reflected, except for taxes which have been assessed but which are not yet due and payable.  The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and each Subsidiary with respect to all federal, state, local and other taxes are considered by the management of the Borrower to be adequate, and the Borrower knows of no unpaid assessment which (a) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect, or (b) is or might be due and payable against it or any Subsidiary or any Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except such thereof as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, and for which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with GAAP or which have been assessed but are not yet due and payable.

In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Issuers and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights under the Loan Documents, but any Default waived shall not extend to any subsequent or other Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

			transactions contemplated thereby are consummated, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of Special Counsel, (b) to pay, indemnify, and hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers harmless from any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities and penalties with respect to, or resulting from any delay (other than penalties to the extent attributable to the negligence of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuers, as the case may be, in failing to pay such fees, liabilities or penalties when due) which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, the Loan Documents or any documents prepared in connection therewith, and (c) to pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one counsel representing all of the Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of a single local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one specialty counsel for each applicable specialty), representing all of the Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one specialty counsel for each applicable specialty), for each such affected Indemnified Person))) actually incurred with respect to the enforcement, performance of, and preservation of rights under, the Loan Documents (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) and, if and to the extent that the foregoing indemnity may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower agrees to make the maximum payment permitted under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.5, the foregoing payment, indemnification and reimbursement obligations will not, as to any Person identified in this Section 11.5, apply to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses to the extent arising (A) from the willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or bad faith of such Person, (B) from a material breach of the obligations hereunder of such Person, (C) out of or in connection with Section 11.22, or (D) out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by any such Person against any such other Person (other than the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such), in each case under clauses (A) through (D), to the extent determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment of the Loans and the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
		

		
			11.6       Lending Offices
		

		
			Each Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to transfer any Loan to a different office of such Lender, subject to Section 3.10.
		

		
			11.7       Successors and Assigns
		

		
			(a)       Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors

			and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 11.7, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 11.7 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section 11.7 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, the Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 11.7 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Credit Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
		

		
			(b)       Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans and obligations in respect of its Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
		

		
			(1)       Minimum Amounts.
		

		
			(A)       in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment Amount or Swing Line Commitment and the Loans and obligations in respect of its Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
		

		
			(B)       in any case not described in paragraph (b)(1)(A) of this Section 11.7, the Commitment Amount or Swing Line Commitment (which for this purpose includes the Loans of the assigning Lender outstanding thereunder and obligations in respect of its Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure at the time owing to it thereunder) or, if the Commitment or Swing Line Commitment of the assigning Lender is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans and the Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure 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 or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such “Trade Date”) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
		

		
			(2)       Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans, Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (2) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations in respect of Competitive Bid Loans on a non-pro rata basis.
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			78

		


		

			CVS Health Corporation 2017 Five Year Credit Agreement

		





 



		

		
			(3)       Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(1)(B) of this Section 11.7 and, in addition:
		

		
			(A)       the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 
		

		
			(B)       the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of an unfunded or revolving facility hereunder if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and
		

		
			(C)       the consent of each Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding) and the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the revolving facility hereunder.
		

		
			(4)       Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 ($7,500 in the case of an assignment by a Defaulting Lender) (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
		

		
			(5)       No Assignment to Certain Parties.  No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates.
		

		
			(6)       No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.
		

		
			Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 11.7, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.6, Section 3.7, and Section 11.10 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  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 (d) of this Section 11.7.
		

		
			(c)       Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuer and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
		

		
			(d)       Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, Letter of Credit Exposure, Swing Line Exposure and/or the Loans, Letter of Credit Exposure or  Swing Line Exposure owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Credit Party 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 which requires the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders that directly affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section 11.7, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.5,  Section 3.6,  Section 3.7 and Section 3.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 11.7.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.9(a) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.9(b) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation with respect to a Commitment or Loan shall, solely for the purposes of complying with the rules regarding registered form in the Internal Revenue Code, act as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintaining a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Commitment and/or Loan (each a “Participant Register”), and the entries in such Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  No Lender shall be required to disclose the existence of, or any of the information contained in, any Participant Register maintained by it to the Borrower or any other Person unless requested in writing by the
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			80

			Borrower, and only to the Internal Revenue Service to the extent such disclosure is required in order to comply with the rules requiring registered form pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.
		

		
			(e)       Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.6,  Section 3.7 or Section 3.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.10(f) as though it were a Lender.  
		

		
			(f)       Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.  
		

		
			11.8       Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments
		

		
			(a)       Counterparts.  Each of the Loan Documents (other than the Notes) may be executed on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.  It shall not be necessary in making proof of any Loan Document to produce or account for more than one counterpart signed by the party to be charged.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all of the parties hereto shall be lodged with each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of any Loan Document by fax or other electronic means (e.g., “.pdf” or “.tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such Loan Document.
		

		
			(b)       Electronic Execution of Assignments.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
		

		
			11.9       Set-off and Sharing of Payments
		

		
			(a)       In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Issuers provided by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) or upon the acceleration of the Loans, each Lender and each Issuer shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, to set-off and apply against any indebtedness or other liability, whether matured or unmatured, of the Borrower to such Lender or such Issuer arising under the Loan Documents, any amount
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			81

			owing from such Lender or such Issuer to the Borrower.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender or such Issuer against the Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, custodian, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrower, or against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, custodian, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Lender or such Issuer prior to the making, filing or issuance of, service upon such Lender or such Issuer of, or notice to such Lender or such Issuer of, any petition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant.  Each Lender and each Issuer agree promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after each such set-off and application made by such Lender or such Issuer, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
		

		
			(b)       If any Lender or any Issuer shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of its Loans or its Notes or the Reimbursement Obligations in excess of its pro rata share (in accordance with the outstanding principal balance of all Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations) of payments then due and payable on account of the Loans and Notes received by all the Lenders or the Reimbursement Obligations received by all Issuers, such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, shall forthwith purchase, without recourse, for cash, from the other Lenders or Issuers, as the case may be, such participations in their Loans and Notes or the Reimbursement Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender or Issuer to share the excess payment with each of them according to their pro rata share (in accordance with the outstanding principal balance of all Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations); provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or Issuer, such purchase from each Lender or Issuer shall be rescinded and each such Lender and Issuer shall repay to the purchasing Lender or Issuer the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender’s or Issuer’s pro rata share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s or Issuer’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender or Issuer) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender or Issuer in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender or Issuer so purchasing a participation from another Lender or Issuer pursuant to this Section 11.9 may exercise such rights to payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or Issuer were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
		

		
			11.10       Indemnity
		

		
			(a)       The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party and each Related Party thereof (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Person”) against, and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one counsel representing all of the Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of a single local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one specialty

			counsel for each applicable specialty), representing all of the Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one specialty counsel for each applicable specialty), for each such affected Indemnified Person)), actually incurred by any Indemnified Person arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on statute, contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.10(a), the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses to the extent arising (A) from the willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or bad faith of such Indemnified Person, (B) from a material breach of the obligations hereunder of such Indemnified Person, (C) out of or in connection with Section 11.22, or (D) out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person (other than the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such), in each case under clauses (A) through (D), to the extent determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.10(a) applies (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) effected without the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood and agreed that the withholding or delaying of the Borrower’s consent in connection with a settlement which does not include an unconditional release of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding or which includes a statement as to any admission of fault by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall not be deemed unreasonable), but if settled with the Borrower’s prior written consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with this Section 11.10(a).  The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding against such Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person.  Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower shall have no liability under clause (i) of this Section 11.10(a) to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Person for any losses, claims,

			damages, liabilities and related expenses relating to income or withholding Taxes or any Tax in lieu of such Taxes.
		

		
			(b)       To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay as soon as practicable any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under subsection (a) of this Section 11.10 (the “Indemnified Amount”), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the product of such unpaid amount multiplied by (i) at any time when no Loans are outstanding, its Commitment Percentage, and (ii) at any time when Loans are outstanding (x) if the Commitments then exist, its Commitment Percentage or (y) if the Commitments have been terminated or otherwise no longer exist, the percentage equal to the fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of such Lender’s Credit Exposure and (B) the denominator of which is the sum of the Aggregate Credit Exposure (in each case determined as of the time that the applicable Indemnified Amount is sought), provided that the Indemnified Amount was payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.
		

		
			(c)       The obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under this Section 11.10 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment of the Loans and the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
		

		
			(d)       To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct and actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or any Loan or any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
		

		
			11.11       Governing Law
		

		
			The Loan Documents and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
		

		
			11.12       Severability
		

		
			Every provision of the Loan Documents is intended to be severable, and if any term or provision thereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof shall not be affected or impaired thereby, and any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
		

		
			11.13       Integration
		

		
			All exhibits to the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a part thereof.  Each Loan Document embodies the entire agreement and understanding between or among the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between or among the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof.

			(a)       Each Credit Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.14, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications, (viii) with the consent of the Borrower or (ix) to the extent such Information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.14 or (2) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower not known to such Credit Party to be prohibited from disclosing such Information.
		

		
			(b)       For purposes of this Section 11.14,  “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
		

		
			11.15       Acknowledgments
		

		
			The Borrower acknowledges that (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, (b) by virtue of the Loan Documents, the relationship among the Administrative Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and (c) by virtue of the Loan Documents, no joint venture exists among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.
		

		
			11.16       Consent to Jurisdiction
		

		
			The Borrower irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal Court sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents.  The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			85

			brought in an inconvenient forum.  The Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court, after all appropriate appeals, shall be conclusive and binding upon it.
		

		
			11.17       Service of Process
		

		
			The Borrower agrees that process may be served against it in any suit, action or proceeding referred to in Section 11.16 by sending the same by first class mail, return receipt requested or by overnight courier service, with receipt acknowledged, to the address of the Borrower set forth or referred to in Section 11.2.  The Borrower agrees that any such service (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action, or proceeding, and (ii) shall to the fullest extent enforceable by law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.
		

		
			11.18       No Limitation on Service or Suit
		

		
			Nothing in the Loan Documents or any modification, waiver, or amendment thereto shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender to bring proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.
		

		
			11.19       WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY
		

		
			EACH OF THE CREDIT PARTIES AND THE BORROWER KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.  FURTHER, THE BORROWER HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF ANY OF THE CREDIT PARTIES, OR COUNSEL TO ANY OF THE CREDIT PARTIES, HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY OF THE CREDIT PARTIES WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION.  THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE CREDIT PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, INTER ALIA, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.19.

			The Borrower agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners named on the cover page hereof, and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Credit Parties or such Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.
