SECTION 1.04.    Accounting Terms; GAAP; Pro Forma Treatment.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time (it being agreed that all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to (i) any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159) (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein and (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof); provided that, if the Revolving Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Revolving Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Revolving Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith.  For purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio (and any component definitions thereof), the Interest Coverage Ratio (and any component definitions thereof), Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated Total Tangible Assets and revenues, any Additional Acquisition (including for the avoidance of doubt, the Omega Acquisition) or any sale or other disposition outside the ordinary course of business by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of any asset or group of related assets in one or a series of related transactions, the net proceeds from which exceed $10,000,000, including the incurrence of any Indebtedness and any related financing or other transactions in connection with any of the foregoing, occurring during the period for which such ratios are calculated shall be deemed to have occurred on the first day of the relevant period for which such ratios were calculated on a pro forma basis acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  


SECTION 1.05.    Foreign Currency Calculations.  (a) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent of any Advance denominated in a Foreign Currency or any related amount, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of the date that is two Business Days prior to (or to the extent customary market practice with respect to foreign exchange calculation relating to such currency would require use of a different calculation date, such other period of time on or prior to)  the applicable Exchange Rate Date with respect to each Foreign Currency in which any requested or outstanding Advance is denominated and shall apply such Exchange Rates to determine such amount (in each case after giving effect to any Advance to be made or repaid on or prior to the applicable date for such calculation). 


(b)  For purposes of any determination under Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.04 or 6.09 or under Article VII, all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the currency exchange rates in effect on the date of such determination; provided that no Default shall arise as a result of any limitation set forth in Dollars in Section 6.01 or 6.02 being exceeded solely as a result of changes in currency exchange rates from those rates applicable at the time or times Indebtedness or Liens were initially consummated in reliance on the exceptions under such Sections.  For purposes of any determination under Section 6.04 or 6.09, the amount of each investment, asset disposition or other applicable transaction denominated in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the currency exchange rate in effect on the date such investment, disposition or other transaction is consummated.  Such currency exchange rates shall be determined in good faith by the Revolving Borrower.


SECTION 1.06.    Redenomination of Certain Foreign Currencies. (a) Each obligation of any party to this Agreement to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the Effective Date shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation).  If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London 









Interbank Market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.
            
(b)  Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by any EMU Legislation and (i) without limiting the liability of the Revolving Borrower for any amount due under this Agreement and (ii) without increasing any Commitment of any Lender, all references in this Agreement to minimum amounts (or integral multiples thereof) denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the Effective Date shall, immediately upon such adoption, be replaced by references to such minimum amounts (or integral multiples thereof) as shall be specified herein with respect to Borrowings denominated in Euros.


(c)  Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Borrower may from time to time agree to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro or any other Foreign Currency.
ARTICLE II

SECTION 2.01.    Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars and Foreign Currencies to the Revolving Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in any of the following:


(i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment; 


(ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Commitments; or


(iii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure denominated in Foreign Currencies exceeding $50,000,000.


Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Revolving Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.


SECTION 2.02.    Loans and Borrowings.  (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same currency and Type made by the Lenders, ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Adjusted Percentages, on the date such Loans are made hereunder (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, in accordance with Section 2.04).  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender's failure to make Loans as required.


(b)  Subject to Section 2.13, (i) each Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Revolving Borrower may request in accordance herewith and (ii) each Revolving Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Loans.  Each Swingline Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate and each Swingline Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall bear interest at such rate agreed to between the Revolving Borrower and the applicable Swingline Lender. 


(c)  Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the applicable Borrowing Multiple and not less than the applicable Borrowing Minimum, provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e).  Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding.


(d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Revolving Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.


(e)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign office, branch or Affiliate of such Lender (an “Applicable Lending Installation”) to make such Loan that has been designated by such Lender to the Administrative Agent.  All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Applicable Lending Installation of such Lender and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Applicable Lending Installation.  Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Borrower, designate replacement or additional Applicable 









Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.  Each Lender will promptly notify the Revolving Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has actual knowledge occurring after the date hereof which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to Section 2.14 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Installation if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or contrary to its policies.


SECTION 2.03.    Requests for Revolving Borrowings.  To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Revolving Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (which request shall be in writing unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent) (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and by means of a written Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Revolving Borrower. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:


(i) the currency (which may be Dollars or a Foreign Currency) in which such Borrowing is to be denominated;


(ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing (expressed in Dollars or the applicable Foreign Currency);


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


(iv) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

(vi) the location and number of the Revolving Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.


If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing, unless such Revolving Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, in which case such Revolving Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Revolving Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.


SECTION 2.04.    Swingline Loans.  (a)  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, a Swingline Lender may make Swingline Loans to the Revolving Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $100,000,000, (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Commitments, (iii) the Swingline Exposure of a Swingline Lender exceeding such Swingline Lender’s Commitment (in its capacity as a Lender) or (iv) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender exceeding its Commitment.  Upon the Borrowing of any Loan under Section 2.01, any outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full.  Swingline Loans with respect to a particular currency shall be made ratably (on a several and not joint basis and calculated based on such Swingline Lender’s Commitment to the total Commitments of all applicable Swingline Lenders of such currency) by each applicable Swingline Lender of such currency.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Revolving Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.


(b)  To request a Swingline Borrowing:


(i) in the case of  a Swingline Loan denominated in Dollars to the Revolving Borrower, the Revolving Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (which request shall be in writing or by telephone confirmed promptly by means of a written Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in a form approved by the Administrative agent and signed by the Revolving Borrower (it being agreed no obligation to fund any Swingline Loan shall arise until the later of (x) the required funding time set forth herein and (y) 30 minutes after receipt of such written Borrowing Notice), unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent), not later than 2:30 p.m. (or such other time agreed to by the Revolving Borrower and the applicable Swingline Lender), New York City time, on the day of such proposed Swingline Loan, and











(ii) in the case of  any other Swingline Loan, the Revolving Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (which request shall be in writing or by telephone confirmed promptly by means of a written Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in a form approved by the Administrative agent and signed by the Revolving Borrower (it being agreed no obligation to fund any Swingline Loan shall arise until the later of (x) the required funding time set forth herein and (y) 30 minutes after receipt of such written Borrowing Notice), unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent), not later than 10:00 a.m. (or such other time agreed to by the Revolving Borrower and such Swingline Lender), Local time, on the day of such proposed Swingline Loan.
 
Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), (B) whether such Swingline Loan is to be denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency, (C) the amount of the requested Swingline Borrowing, and (D) in the case of a Swingline Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Interest Period requested to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by clause (b) of the definition of the term "Interest Period."  The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Swingline Lender or the Affiliate designated by the applicable Swingline Lender for such Swingline Borrowing of any such notice received.  In the case of Swingline Loans that are not denominated in Dollars, the applicable Swingline Lender and the Revolving Borrower shall agree upon the interest rate applicable to such Swingline Loan, provided that if such agreement cannot be reached prior to 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of any proposed Swingline Loan, or, such other time agreed to by the applicable Swingline Lender and the Revolving Borrower, then such Swingline Loan shall not be made.  In addition to any other requirements for obtaining a Swingline Loan, the Revolving Borrower shall comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.  


Any funding of a Swingline Loan by a Swingline Lender shall be made on the proposed date thereof by 3:30 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent will make such Swingline Loan available to the Revolving Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account of the Revolving Borrower with the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Swingline Borrowing made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank). The Administrative Agent shall determine the procedures to be followed by the Swingline Lenders to ensure that the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans does not exceed the amount permitted by Section 2.04(a) at the time any Swingline Loan is made and to ensure that the amount of Advances made does not exceed the amounts permitted by Section 2.01, and each Swingline Lender and the other parties hereto agrees to abide by such procedures.  If the Swingline Loans at any time exceed any of the amounts permitted by Section 2.01 or 2.04(a), the Revolving Borrower shall promptly prepay the relevant Swingline Loans by the amount of such excess.


(c)  Each Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time (or 11:00 a.m. London time in the case of any Swingline Loan denominated in any Foreign Currency), on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loans in which the Lenders will participate, and such Swingline Loans, if denominated in Foreign Currency, shall be converted to Dollars and shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender's Applicable Adjusted Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, such Lender's Applicable Adjusted Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph (c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the applicable Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the Revolving Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Revolving Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Revolving Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Revolving Borrower of any default in the payment thereof and the Revolving Borrower shall reimburse each Lender for any amounts that may be due under Section 2.14, 2.16, 2.19 or any other term of this Agreement.


SECTION 2.05.    Letters of Credit.  (a) General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Revolving Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or any Foreign Currency for its own 









account or the account of a Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Revolving Borrower to, or entered into by the Revolving Borrower and a Subsidiary with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 


(b)  Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Revolving Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the account party thereof (which shall be the Revolving Borrower or a Subsidiary, and if a Subsidiary then the Revolving Borrower and such Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to all Obligations relating to such Letter of Credit), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.  If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Revolving Borrower (and the applicable Subsidiary if such Letter of Credit is to be issued for the account of a Subsidiary) also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Revolving Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate LC Commitment, (ii) the LC Exposure of any Issuing Bank shall not exceed its LC Commitment, (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments or (iv) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed its Commitment. 


(c)  Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.


(d)  Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Applicable Adjusted Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Revolving Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Revolving Borrower for any reason.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.


(e)  Reimbursement.  If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary (if such Letter of Credit was issued for the account of a Subsidiary) shall jointly and severally reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Revolving Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. Local Time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Revolving Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on (i) the Business Day that the Revolving Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Revolving Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Revolving Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Revolving Borrower's and any applicable Subsidiary’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan.  If the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary fail to make such payment when due, such amount, if denominated in Foreign Currency shall be converted to Dollars and shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the payment then due from the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Revolving Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse 









the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.


(f)  Obligations Absolute.  The Revolving Borrower's and any applicable Subsidiary's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Revolving Borrower's or any applicable Subsidiary's obligations hereunder.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Revolving Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.  


(g)  Disbursement Procedures.  The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary of their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.  


(h)  Interim Interest.  If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Revolving Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Revolving Borrower and or the applicable Subsidiary reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Revolving Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(e) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.


(i)  Replacement of the Issuing Bank.  The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Revolving Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Revolving Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(c).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.


(j)  Cash Collateralization.  If (x) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Revolving Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the 









deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph or (y) otherwise required by Section 2.10(d), the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary (with respect to any Letters of Credit issued for its account only, jointly and severally with the Revolving Borrower) shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Revolving Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary with respect to any Letters of Credit issued for its account described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII.  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Revolving Borrower's and any applicable Subsidiary's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure  representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Revolving Borrower under this Agreement.  If the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Revolving Borrower or applicable Subsidiary within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.


(k)  [Reserved.] 


(l)  Reporting.  Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week and the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding week or the preceding Fiscal Quarter, as applicable, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
        
SECTION 2.06.    Funding of Borrowings.  (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Revolving Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Revolving Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent (i) in such location determined by the Administrative Agent, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, or (ii) in London, in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency and designated by the Revolving Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans and Swingline Dollar Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of a LC Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.


(b)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Revolving Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Revolving Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Revolving Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Revolving Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans, or in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) with respect to Borrowings denominated in a Foreign Currency, a rate determined in a customary manner in good faith by the Administrative Agent representing the cost to the Administrative Agent of funding such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.


SECTION 2.07.    Interest Elections.  (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request (it being understood all Borrowings in a Foreign Currency shall be Eurocurrency Borrowings) and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Revolving Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type, in the case of Borrowings denominated in 









Dollars, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Revolving Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Foreign Currency Borrowings or Swingline Dollar Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.


(b)  To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Revolving Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election (which election shall be in writing unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Revolving Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type and denominated in the Foreign Currency resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and by means of a written Interest Election Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Revolving Borrower.


(c)  Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:


(i)  the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);


(ii)  the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;


(iii)  whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; provided that the resulting Borrowing is required to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency; and


(iv)  if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by clause (a) of the definition of the term “Interest Period.”


If any such Interest Election Request does not specify the Type of the resulting Borrowing and the resulting Borrowing is to be denominated in Dollars, then the resulting Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Revolving Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.


(d)  Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.


(e)  If the Revolving Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing on or prior to the third Business Day prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing (unless such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, in which case such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month's duration commencing on the last day of such Interest Period). Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Revolving Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency will, at the expiration of the then current Interest Period, be automatically continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month's duration.
        
SECTION 2.08.    Termination and Reduction/Increases of Commitments.  (a)  Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.  


(b)  The Revolving Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Revolving Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, any circumstance set for in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 2.01 would occur.


(c)  The Revolving Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative 









Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Revolving Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Revolving Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Revolving Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments under this Section 2.08 shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.


(d)  Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Revolving Borrower may, upon at least ten (10) days (or such other period of time agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Borrower) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, increase the Aggregate Commitments from time to time, either by designating a lender not theretofore a Lender to become a Lender (such designation to be effective only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) or by agreeing with an existing Lender that such Lender's Commitment shall be increased (thus increasing the Aggregate Commitments); provided that:


(i)    no Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder as of the effective date of such increase;


(ii)    the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation or warranty which is already qualified as to materiality or by reference to Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date;


(iii)    the amount of each such increase in the Aggregate Commitments shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or such other minimum amount agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Borrower), and shall not cause the sum of the aggregate increases in the Commitments under this Section 2.08(d) to exceed $300,000,000;


(iv)    the Revolving Borrower and any applicable Lender or lender not theretofore a Lender, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Borrower;


(v)    no existing Lender shall be obligated in any way to increase any of its Commitments unless it has executed and delivered a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement;


(vi)    the interest rates paid with respect to the increased Revolving Loan Commitment shall be identical to those payable with respect to the existing Revolving Loan Commitment; 


(vii)    the Administrative Agent shall have received such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; and


(viii)    a new Lender may not be the Company, the Revolving Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Company.


Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of the Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement, from and after the effective date specified in a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement, such existing Lender shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such other Lender shall become a Lender with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such a Commitment hereunder.  Upon its receipt of a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement together with any note or notes, if requested, subject to such addition and assumption and the written consent to such addition and assumption, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement has been completed and the other conditions described in this Section 2.08 have been satisfied: (x) accept such Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement; (y) record the information contained therein in the Register; and (z) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and the Revolving Borrower and deliver to the Lenders a schedule reflecting the new Commitments.  The Lenders (new or existing) shall accept an assignment from the existing Lenders, and the existing Lenders shall make an assignment to the new or existing Lender accepting a new or increased Commitment, of a direct or participation interest in each then outstanding Loan and Letter of Credit such that, after giving effect thereto, all Revolving Credit Exposure hereunder is held ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments. Assignments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for the principal amount assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and facility and letter of credit fees. The Revolving Borrower shall make any payments under Section 2.15 resulting from such assignments.











(e)  The provisions of Section 2.08(d) shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17 or 9.02 to the contrary (including, for the avoidance of doubt, provisions thereof relating to amendments to Section 9.02, Section 2.10, Section 2.17, and the definition of “Required Lenders”).


SECTION 2.09.    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a)  The Revolving Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date 30 days after such Swingline Loan is made or such other date agreed to between the Revolving Borrower and the Swingline Lender. 


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


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


(d)  The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Revolving Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


(e)  Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Revolving Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in the form of Exhibit B hereto or such other form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee and its registered assigns.


SECTION 2.10.    Prepayment of Loans.  (a)  The Revolving Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.  


(b)  The Revolving Borrower shall notify the Administrative  Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) (which notice shall be in writing unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment, or (iii)  in the case of prepayment of any Swingline Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local time, on the date of prepayment, or such other time agreed to by the Revolving Borrower and Swingline Lender.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02.  Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12. 


(c)  In the event and on such occasion that the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds (i) 105% of the Aggregate Commitments solely as a result of currency fluctuations or (ii) the Aggregate Commitments (other than as a result of currency fluctuations), the Revolving Borrower shall prepay Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure owing by the Revolving Borrower in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Commitments.

All mandatory prepayments and Commitment reductions will be applied without penalty or premium (except for breakage costs and accrued interest, if any, to the extent required by Sections 2.12 and 2.15, as applicable) and will be applied pro rata to the outstanding Loans or Commitments under the applicable Class of the Commitments, as applicable.  Mandatory prepayments of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) may not be reborrowed.  Mandatory prepayments and Commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) shall not be subject to the prior notice requirements set forth in Sections 2.08 and 2.10(b), as applicable.

Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the last Business Day of each such month, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).


(d)   The Revolving Borrower agrees to pay to the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agents fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon by them.











(e)   All additional interest and fees set forth in the Fee Letters payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates set forth in the applicable Fee Letters, in immediately available funds in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Commitment Interest, upfront fees in clause (b) above and participation fees, to the Lenders.  Such additional interest and fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.


SECTION 2.12.    Interest.  (a)  The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.


(b)  The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.


(c)  Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest as determined in Section 2.04.


(d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Revolving Borrower hereunder is not paid when due (after the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the  rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.


(e)  Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


SECTION 2.13.    Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency:


(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate) do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or


(b)  the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 


then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Revolving Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Revolving Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing denominated in Dollars to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an ABR Borrowing, (ii) any outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to an ABR Borrowing and (iii) any Borrowing Request or Interest Election Request that requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing (or conversion or continuation thereto) denominated in a Foreign Currency, shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be made or maintained, as applicable, at a rate determined in a customary manner in good faith by the Administrative Agent.

account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; 


(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Advance made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or


(iii)  subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Other Connection Taxes on gross or net income, profits or revenue (including value-added or similar Taxes) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes and (C) Taxes described in clauses (b)-(c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes);


and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or main-taining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make, continue, convert or maintain any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receiv-able by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Revolving Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.


(b)  If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital, liquidity or insurance requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital, liquidity or insurance requirements adequacy), then from time to time the Revolving Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.


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


(d)  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Revolving Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Revolving Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.


SECTION 2.15.     Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Revolving Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Revolving Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits of the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.  A certifi-cate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Revolving 









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


SECTION 2.16.    Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up.  (a) Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by applicable law.  If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.  If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.


(b)  Payment of Other Taxes by the Revolving Borrower.  The Revolving Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.


(c)  Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


(d)  Indemnification by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally  indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.16(d)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  The indemnity under this Section 2.16(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the applicable Recipient delivers to the applicable Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim.  Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.  Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.


(e)  Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable 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.  The indemnity under this Section 2.16(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent.  Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable 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 Section 2.16(e).


(f)  Status of Lenders.  


(i)  Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Revolving Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Revolving Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Revolving Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Revolving Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Revolving Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Revolving Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements, or in order to enable the Revolving Borrower to comply with the provisions of Section 891A, 891E, 891F and 891G of the (Irish) Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(f)(ii)(A) through (C) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.  Upon the reasonable request of the Revolving Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.16(f).  If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, 









obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Revolving Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.


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


A.in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;
B.in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (together with any underlying attachments), as applicable;
C.in the case of a Lender that is not resident in Ireland, if required to obtain an exemption from Irish withholding Tax, authorization issued by the Irish Revenue Commissioners permitting payment without deduction of withholding Tax; or
D.(x) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax or, as the case may be, Irish withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Revolving Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld and/or (y) in the case of Irish withholding Tax, confirmation that the applicable Lender satisfies one or more of the exemptions from Irish withholding tax prescribed in Section 246(3) of the (Irish) Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997.


(g)  Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.16(g) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This Section 2.16(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.


(h)  Survival.  Each party's obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.


(i)  Issuing Bank.  For purposes of Section 2.16(e) and (f), the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.


SECTION 2.17.    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.  (a) Unless otherwise specified, the Revolving Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.19, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Revolving Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.19 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of (i) fees, principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, (ii) reimbursement obligations shall be made in the currency in which the Letter of Credit in respect of which such reimbursement obligation exists is denominated or (iii) any other amount due hereunder or under another Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or 









before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment. 


(b)  If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Revolving Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due from the Revolving Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Revolving Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due from the Revolving Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.


(c)  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Revolving Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). The Revolving Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Revolving Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Revolving Borrower in the amount of such participation.


(d)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Revolving Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the Revolving Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Revolving Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Revolving Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or in the case of amounts not denominated in Dollars, the Administrative Agent’s applicable cost of funds) and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.


(e)  If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.


SECTION 2.18.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a)  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Revolving Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, 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 Revolving Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.


(b)  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Revolving Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or is otherwise a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.02 or any other provision of any Loan Document requires the consent of all or all affected Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Revolving Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee 









that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Revolving Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Revolving Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Revolving Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 


SECTION 2.19.    Additional Reserve Costs.  (a) For so long as any Lender is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England or comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of the Bank of England, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender's Eurocurrency Loans or Swingline Foreign Currency Loans, such Lender shall be entitled to require the Revolving Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Cost Rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Exhibit C hereto.


(b)  For so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Statutory Reserves or the Mandatory Cost Rate) in respect of any of such Lender's Eurocurrency Loans and Swingline Foreign Currency Loans, such Lender shall be entitled to require the Revolving Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender's Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loan.


(c)  Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be determined by the applicable Lender, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the Revolving Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the applicable Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the Revolving Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan.


SECTION 2.20.    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) Commitment Interest pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall cease to accrue on the unutilized portion of the applicable Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;


(b) the Commitments and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;


(c)  if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:


(i)  all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) no non-Defaulting Lender's Revolving Credit Exposures plus such non-Defaulting Lender's Applicable Adjusted Percentage of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure exceeds such non-Defaulting Lender's Commitment;


(ii)  if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Revolving Borrower shall within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Revolving Borrower's obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;


(iii)  if the Revolving Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Revolving Borrower shall not be required to pay 









any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;


(iv)  if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and


(v)  if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and


(d)  so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Revolving Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).


(e)  In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, however, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Revolving Borrower or any other party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender, and the Revolving Borrower and such other party shall retain and reserve any such claim, and (ii) the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties 


In order to induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into this Agreement, the Revolving Borrower and the Company represent and warrant to each Lender and the Administrative Agent, that the following statements are true, correct and complete:
SECTION 3.01.    Organization; Powers.  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or, if applicable in a foreign jurisdiction, enjoys the equivalent status under the laws of any jurisdiction of organization outside the United States) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.


SECTION 3.02.    Authorization; Enforceability.  The transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents are within each Loan Party’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, stockholder, shareholder and other action.  Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party party thereto and assuming due execution and delivery by all parties other than the Loan Parties, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.


SECTION 3.03    Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts.  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.03, the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect (or are to be made within any applicable grace period), (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not 









violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or, other than with respect to the Omega Surviving Debt, give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such violation or default or Lien, could not, in the case of subparts (c) or (d) reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


SECTION 3.04.    Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.  (a)  The Revolving Borrower has, prior to the Effective Date furnished to the Lenders the Company’s  (i) consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows as of and for the Fiscal Year of the Company ended June 27, 2015  and each subsequent Fiscal Year or fiscal year ended at least 90 days prior to the Effective Date reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants and (ii) unaudited consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows as of and for each subsequent Fiscal Quarter of the Company ended at least 45 days prior to the Effective Date (other than any Fiscal Quarter end that coincides with a Fiscal Year end).

The excess of the present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan of the Company, the Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan), as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto for which a valuation is available, over the value of the assets of such Plan could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the excess of the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Plan) as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto for which valuations are available, over the value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Neither the financial statements, certificates nor other reports or information furnished by or on behalf of the Revolving Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any material respect; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Company and the Revolving Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.


SECTION 3.12.    Use of Advances.  The Revolving Borrower will use the proceeds of the Advances to fund working capital and other general corporate purposes.

No part of the proceeds of any Advance will be used in any manner that is in violation of any applicable law or regulation (including without limitation Regulations U or X of the Board).  After applying the proceeds of each Advance, Margin Stock will not constitute more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis that are subject to any provisions of this Agreement that may cause the Advance to be deemed secured, directly or indirectly, by Margin Stock.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Defaulting Lenders shall not be entitled to vote (whether to consent or to withhold its consent) with respect to any amendment, modification, termination or waiver and, for purposes of determining the Required Lenders, the Commitments and the Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded, in each case except as provided in Section 2.20(b).
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Revolving Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to cure any error, ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in order to more accurately reflect the intent of the parties, provided that (x) prior written notice of such proposed cure shall be given to the Lenders and (y) the Required Lenders do not object to such cure in writing to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days of such notice.
SECTION 9.03.    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  (a) The Revolving Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lead Arrangers, Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Lead Arrangers, Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agents, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lead Arrangers, Agents, the Issuing Banks or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Lead Arranger, Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit; provided that the obligation to pay fees, disbursements and other charges of legal counsel shall be limited to the fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and all Lenders and one additional Irish counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and all Lenders (and, if reasonably necessary, of one additional local counsel in any other relevant jurisdiction) (and in the case of any actual or perceived conflict, an additional conflicts counsel with respect to each of the above).
(b)    The Revolving Borrower shall indemnify each Lead Arranger, Agent, Issuing Bank and Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each 









Indemnitee harmless from, any and all liabilities, Taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether brought by any Loan Party or any other Person, or in any other way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials obtained through any information transmission system in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c)    To the extent that the Revolving Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Lead Arranger or Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against a Lead Arranger or an Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.
(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Revolving Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.04.    Successors and Assigns.  (a) 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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Revolving Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Revolving Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit or Swingline Lender that makes any Swingline Loan), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.


(b)    (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
(A)(A)    the Revolving Borrower, provided that (x) no consent of the Revolving Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Article VII(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) has occurred and is continuing, and (y) the Revolving Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof;


(B)the Administrative Agent; and


(C)the Issuing Banks and Swingline Lenders.


As used herein, “Ineligible Institution” means a (a) natural person, (b) holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that, such holding company, investment 









vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Institution if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business, (c) the Company or any Affiliate thereof and (d) any Defaulting Lender.
(ii)  Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:


(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment of Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Revolving Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Revolving Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Revolving Borrower shall be deemed to have consented unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof;


(B)  each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;


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


(D)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.  For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.


(iii)  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.


(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Revolving Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Revolving Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Revolving Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.


(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.











(c)    Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Revolving Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Revolving Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.  The Revolving Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14 or 2.16, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Revolving Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(d)    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 without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 9.05.    Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and the Revolving Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.


SECTION 9.06.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees and the terms of the  facilities set forth herein constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or .pdf shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.


SECTION 9.07.    Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.











SECTION 9.08.    Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the obligations of the Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under such Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

(c)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

ARTICLE X
Collection Allocation Mechanism


SECTION 10.01.    Implementation of CAM.  (a)  On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) the Commitments shall automatically and without further act be terminated as provided in Article VII, (ii) the principal amount of each Loan and LC Disbursement denominated in a Foreign Currency shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rates calculated as of the CAM Exchange Date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to any Lender in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder and (iii) each Lender shall automatically and without further act (and without regard to the provisions of Section 9.04) immediately be deemed to have acquired participations in the Swingline Loans, Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit (including each Reserve Account established pursuant to Section 10.02 below) in an amount equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage.  Each Lender shall make payments to the Administrative Agent for such participations, and the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the appropriate Lender, in such manner and pursuant to such procedures determined by the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender and the Revolving Borrower hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any person that acquires a participation in its interests in any Advance. The Revolving Borrower agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes evidencing its interests in the Loans so executed and delivered; provided, however, that the failure of the Revolving Borrower to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.


(b)  As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Revolving Credit Exposures shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by a Lender upon or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of set-off, in respect of any Revolving Credit Exposure shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.


SECTION 10.02.    Letters of Credit.  (a)  In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part, or any LC Disbursement shall not have been reimbursed either by the Revolving Borrower or with the proceeds of a Borrowing, each Lender shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has not already done so) such unreimbursed drawing, as applicable, together with interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which such amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at the rate that would be applicable at the time to an ABR Revolving Loan in a principal amount equal to such undrawn face amount or unreimbursed drawing, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall establish a separate account (each, a “Reserve Account”) or accounts for each Lender for the amounts received with respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence.  The Administrative Agent shall deposit in each Lender’s Reserve Account such Lender’s CAM Percentage of the amounts received from the Lenders as provided above. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each Reserve Account shall be held in such Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) below. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender’s CAM Percentage. The amounts held in each Lender’s Reserve Account shall be held as a reserve against the LC Exposures, shall be the property of such Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Borrower and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of the U.S. Borrower to pay interest to such Lender, it 









being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as provided in Section 2.05.


(b)  In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the applicable Issuing Bank withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender any amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such drawing deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on deposit and deliver such amounts to such Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lenders under Section 2.05(d) (but not of the Revolving Borrower under Section 2.05(e)). In the event that any Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 10.02, the applicable Issuing Bank shall have a claim against such Lender to the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section 2.05(d), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the Revolving Borrower’s reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 10.01. Each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event that such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the defaulted amount.


(c)  In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender.


(d) With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may withdraw the amount held in its Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Lender making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit, to pay over to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, on demand, its CAM Percentage of such drawing.


(e)  Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from its Reserve Account as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Permitted Investments. Each Lender that has not withdrawn its amounts in its Reserve Account as provided in paragraph (d) above shall have the right, at intervals reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, to withdraw the earnings on investments so made by the Administrative Agent with amounts in its Reserve Account and to retain such earnings for its own account.

Exhibit C


Mandatory Cost Rate


MANDATORY COST


1.  The Mandatory Cost Rate (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 
 
2.  On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Associated Costs Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost Rate will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Associated Costs Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. The Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Revolving Borrower, deliver to such Revolving Borrower a statement setting forth the calculation of Mandatory Cost Rate. 
 
3.  The Associated Costs Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office. 
 
4.  The Associated Costs Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows: 
 
A x 0.01
per cent. per annum.
      300


Where: 
 
 A  is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 6 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 
 
5.  For the purposes of this Exhibit: 
 
 (b)  “Facility Office” means the office or offices notified by a Lender to the Administrative Agent in writing on or before the date it becomes a Lender (or, following that date, by not less than five Business Days’ written notice) as the office or offices through which it will perform its obligations under this Agreement. 
 
(c)  “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 
 
(d)  “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); 
 
(e)  “Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Union that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Union relating to economic and monetary union. 
 
(f)  “Reference Banks” means, in relation to Mandatory Cost Rate, the principal London offices of the Administrative Agent.
 
(g)  “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. 
 
6.  If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. 
 
7.  Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Associated Costs Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: 
  









(a)  the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and 
 
(b)  any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. 


Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. 
 
8.  The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Associated Costs Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects. 
 
9.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost Rate to the Lenders on the basis of the Associated Costs Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank, as applicable, pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above. 
 
10.  Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Exhibit in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost Rate, an Associated Costs Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 
 
11.  The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Revolving Borrower and the relevant Lenders, determine and notify to all parties hereto any amendments which are required to be made to this Exhibit C in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE


[DATE]


Reference is made to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of December 9, 2015 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Perrigo Finance Unlimited Company (formerly Perrigo Finance PLC), as borrower (the “Revolving Borrower”), Perrigo Company PLC (the “Company”), the financial institutions listed on the signature pages thereof (the “Lenders”), HSBC Bank USA, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”), and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agents for the Lenders. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. This certificate is furnished to the Agent pursuant to Sections 4.01(g) of the Credit Agreement.


I, [  ], certify that I am the duly appointed, qualified and acting chief financial officer of the Company and, in such capacity, that: 


On the date hereof, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the Company and its Subsidiaries, when taken as a whole on a consolidated basis (after giving effect to any credit extensions under the Credit Agreement on the Effective Date), (a) have property with fair value greater than the total amount of their debts and liabilities, contingent (it being understood that the amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability), subordinated or otherwise, (b) have assets with present fair saleable value that are greater than the amount that will be required to pay the total amount of their debts and other liabilities, contingent, subordinated or otherwise, (c) will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as they become absolute and matured and (d) will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the date hereof.


I am familiar with the finances, assets, business and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries. In reaching the conclusions set forth in this certificate, I reviewed such information and have made such other investigations and inquiries that I deemed appropriate, including, but not limited to, consultation with other officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries responsible for financial and accounting functions concerning contingent liabilities, as I have deemed necessary and prudent to enable me to express an informed opinion as to the matters referred to herein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this certificate to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
