This Amendment shall not be deemed (i) to be a waiver of, or consent to, or a modification or amendment   of, any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document other than as   expressly set forth herein, (ii) to prejudice any right or rights which the Administrative Agent or the   Lenders may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or the   other Loan Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, as the same may be   amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time other than as expressly set forth herein, or   (iii) to be a commitment or any other undertaking or expression of any willingness to engage in any further   discussion with the Company, any Loan Party or any other Person with respect to any other waiver,   amendment, modification or any other change to the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents or any   rights or remedies arising in favor of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, or any of them, under or   with respect to any such documents.

Section 8.  Enforceability.  If any provision of this Amendment is held to be illegal, invalid   or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment   shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to   replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which   comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a  provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other  jurisdiction.          Section 9.  Successors and Assigns.  This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the   benefit of each Borrower, the Facility Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their   respective successors and assignees to the extent such assignees are permitted assignees as provided in   Section 11.06 of the Credit Agreement.                                         3

(f)   Any reference herein to a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, conveyance, assignment,  sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division of or by a limited liability  company or a limited partnership, as applicable, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability                                             35 





 






     company or a limited partnership, as applicable (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it   were a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, conveyance, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or   similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. Any division of a limited liability company or   a limited partnership, as applicable, shall constitute a separate Person hereunder (and each division of any   limited liability company or any limited partnership, as applicable, that is a Subsidiary, joint venture or any   other like term shall also constitute such a Person or entity).          1.03  Accounting Terms.  (a)  (a) Generally.  All accounting terms not specifically or   completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial   ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be  prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the Audited  Financial Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,   for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial   covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried   at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC   470-20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.          (b)   Changes in GAAP.  If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of   any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Company or the Required   Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company shall negotiate in good   faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in   GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or   requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii)   the Company shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other   documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a   reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such   change in GAAP.  Without limiting the foregoing, leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for   on a basis consistent with that reflected in the Audited Financial Statements for all purposes of this   Agreement, notwithstanding any change in GAAP relating thereto, unless the parties hereto shall enter into  a mutually acceptable amendment addressing such changes, as provided for above.          (c)   Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.  All references herein to consolidated financial   statements of the Facility Guarantor and its Subsidiaries or to the determination of any amount for the   Facility Guarantor and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or any similar reference shall, in each case,   be deemed to include each variable interest entity that the Facility Guarantor is required to consolidate   pursuant to FASB ASC 810 as if such variable interest entity were a Subsidiary as defined herein.          (d)   Pro Forma Determinations.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:                (i)   (i)                     if on any date of determination pro forma         compliance with the requirements of this Agreement is a condition precedent to the consummation         of a proposed transaction pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, then for that purpose such         compliance shall be determined on a Pro Forma Basis giving effect to (A) such proposed transaction         and (B) without duplication, any Specified Transaction that has been consummated during the         Measurement Period then most recently ended for which financial statements have been delivered         pursuant to Section 6.01 or during the period following such Measurement Period and prior to such         date, in each case, as of the first day of such Measurement Period, provided that, for the avoidance         of doubt, where compliance with the terms of this Agreement on a Pro Forma Basis is required         with respect to Section 7.11, the financial covenants contained therein shall be tested on a Pro         Forma Basis on the applicable date of determination;                                               36 





 






                 (ii) (ii)  for each Specified Transaction that is consummated during any         Measurement Period, compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be determined on         a Pro Forma Basis giving effect to such Specified Transaction as of the first day of such         Measurement Period; and                (iii) (iii) for the purpose of calculating Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated         Interest Charges and Consolidated Net Income for any Measurement Period, if during such period         the Company or any Subsidiary shall have made a significant acquisition or significant disposition         (including for the avoidance of doubt the Scripps Acquisition, and with significance otherwise         calculated in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act), each of         Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Charges and Consolidated Net Income shall be         calculated giving Pro Forma Effect thereto as if such significant acquisition or disposition occurred         on the first day of such period.          1.04  Rounding.  Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Company pursuant to  this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying  the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding  the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).          1.05  Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.  (a) (a) The Administrative Agent or the   applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used   for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in   Alternative Currencies.  Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be   the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next   Revaluation Date to occur.  Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the Loan Parties   hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the   applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such   Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as   applicable.          (b)   Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Committed Borrowing, conversion,  continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a  Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but  such Committed Borrowing, Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative  Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount  (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as  determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be.          (c)   The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the  Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter  related to the rates in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor  rate thereto.          1.06  Additional Alternative Currencies.  (a) (a) The Company may from time to time request   that Eurocurrency Rate Loans under either Tranche be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency   other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that such requested   currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and  convertible into Dollars.  In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurocurrency Rate  Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; and in                                                37 





 






    the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject  to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer.         (b)   Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., 20  Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed  by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the  applicable L/C Issuer, in its or their sole discretion).  In the case of any such request pertaining to  Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof; and in the  case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify  each L/C Issuer thereof.  Each Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate  Loans) or each L/C Issuer (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the  Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten Business Days after receipt of such request whether it  consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or the issuance of Letters of  Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.          (c)   Any failure by a Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such  request within the time period specified in the last sentence of Section 1.06(b) shall be deemed to be a   refusal by such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be   made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency.  If (i) with respect to Tranche 1, the   Administrative Agent and all the Tranche 1 Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such   requested currency and (ii) with respect to Tranche 2, the Administrative Agent and all the Tranche 2   Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent   shall so notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an   Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Committed Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Loans   with respect to the respective Tranche; and if the Administrative Agent and all the L/C Issuers consent to   the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the   Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency   hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain  consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.06, the Administrative Agent shall   promptly so notify the Company.          1.07  Change of Currency.  (a) Each obligation of the Borrowers 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 date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption.   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 Committed Borrowing in the currency of such member   state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such   Committed Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.          (b)   Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of  construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify 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.          (c)   Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of  construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change                                                38 





 






    in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in  currency.         1.08  Times of Day.  Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be  references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).         1.09  Letter of Credit Amounts.  Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of  Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit  in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the  terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated  amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall, for all purposes other than calculating Letter of  Credit Fees and fronting fees, be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of  such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount  is in effect at such time.         1.10  Amendment and Restatement.  In order to facilitate the amendment and restatement  contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to effectuate the desires of the Loan Parties, the  Administrative Agent and the Lenders:          (a)   Simultaneously with the Closing Date, but immediately prior to giving effect to Section   1.10(d), the parties hereby agree that the Commitments and Applicable Percentages (as defined in the   Existing Credit Agreement) of each of the Lenders shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01, and (i) the   Outstanding Amounts of each Lender’s Committed Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)   and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Tranche 1 Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations   and Swing Line Loans shall, in each case, be reallocated as outstanding Committed Loans hereunder in   accordance with such Commitments and outstanding participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line   Loans hereunder in accordance with such Commitments, as applicable, and the requisite assignments shall   be deemed to be made in such amounts from (A) each Tranche 1 Lender to each other Tranche 1 Lender   and (B) each Tranche 2 Lender to each other Tranche 2 Lender (and, if necessary, to (x) Tranche 1 Lenders   hereunder from Tranche 1 Lenders under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement and (y) Tranche   2 Lenders hereunder from Tranche 2 Lenders under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement, in   each case, who elect not to become Tranche 1 Lenders or Tranche 2 Lenders, as applicable, under this   Agreement or who reduce their commitments in connection with this Agreement), with the same force and   effect as if such assignments were evidenced by applicable Assignments and Assumptions (as defined in   the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement, but without the payment of any   related assignment fee; provided that the Existing Lenders who are Lenders under this Agreement hereby   waive any notice requirements pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Existing Credit Agreement in connection   with any prepayment that may occur or may be deemed to occur thereunder in connection with this Section   1.10(a).  For the avoidance of doubt, simultaneously with the Closing Date, the parties hereby agree that   each Swing Line Loan outstanding under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement as of such date   shall continue as a Swing Line Loan hereunder and each “Letter of Credit” outstanding under, and as   defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement as of such date and identified as an “Existing Letter of Credit”   hereunder shall continue as a Letter of Credit hereunder.          (b)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Credit Agreement or in this  Agreement, no other documents or instruments, including any Assignment and Assumption, shall be, or  shall be required to be, executed in connection with the assignments set forth in Section 1.10(a) above (all   of which requirements are hereby waived), and such assignments shall be deemed to be made with all   applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption.    On the Closing Date, the applicable Lenders shall make full cash settlement with one another either directly                                               39 





 






     or through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct or approve, with respect to   all assignments, reallocations and other changes in Commitments and the portion of the Outstanding   Amount of the Committed Loans allocable to each Lender, such that after giving effect to such settlements   the Commitment of, and Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and aggregate Outstanding Amount of   participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, if any, owing to, each Lender shall be as set forth   on Schedule 2.01.          (c)   The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that upon the  effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement which in any  manner govern or evidence the obligations arising hereunder, the rights and interests of the Administrative  Agent and the Lenders and any terms, conditions or matters related to any thereof, shall be and hereby are  amended and restated in their entirety by the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, and the  terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall  be superseded by this Agreement.          (d)   Notwithstanding this amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement,  including anything in this Section 1.10, and of any related “Loan Document” (as such term is defined in the   Existing Credit Agreement and referred to herein, individually or collectively, as the “Existing Loan   Documents”), (i) all of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations owing by the Borrowers or any other   Person under the Existing Credit Agreement and other Existing Loan Documents shall continue as   Obligations hereunder and thereunder (including, without limitation, all accrued and unpaid interest and   fees under the Existing Credit Agreement) and (ii) this Agreement is given as a substitution of, and not as   a payment of, the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties under   the Existing Credit Agreement or any Existing Loan Document, and neither the execution and delivery of   this Agreement nor the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereunder is intended to   constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement or of any of the other Existing Loan Documents or   any obligations thereunder.  Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement all Loans outstanding and owing by   the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date shall continue as Loans   hereunder.  Each Lender party hereto that is a lender under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed   to have waived the requirement for payment by the Borrowers of any amounts required pursuant to Section   3.05 of the Existing Credit Agreement as a result of any reallocation or deemed assignments in connection   the entering into of this Agreement.                                     ARTICLE II.                    THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS         2.01  Committed Loans.          (a)   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 2.14), each Tranche   1 Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Tranche 1 Loan”) to the Company and to any   other Borrowers designated to receive Tranche 1 Loans hereunder, in Dollars or in one or more Alternative   Currencies from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount   not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Tranche 1 Lender’s Tranche 1 Commitment;   provided, however, that after giving effect to any Tranche 1 Borrowing, (i) the Total Tranche 1   Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments and (ii) the Revolving Credit   Exposure of any Tranche 1 Lender shall not exceed such Tranche 1 Lender’s Tranche 1 Commitment.    Within the limits of each Tranche 1 Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions   hereof, the applicable Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay under Section 2.05, and   reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).  Tranche 1 Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate                                                40 





 






     Loans, as further provided herein.  The Borrowers designated to receive Tranche 1 Loans as of the Closing   Date are set forth on Schedule 2.01A.          (b)   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 2.14), each Tranche   2 Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Tranche 2 Loan”) to the Company and any   other Borrowers designated to receive Tranche 2 Loans hereunder, in Dollars or in one or more Alternative   Currencies from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount   not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Tranche 2 Lender’s Tranche 2 Commitment;   provided, however, that after giving effect to any Tranche 2 Borrowing, (i) the Total Tranche 2   Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Tranche 2 Commitments and (ii) the Revolving Credit   Exposure of any Tranche 2 Lender shall not exceed such Tranche 2 Lender’s Tranche 2 Commitment.    Within the limits of each Tranche 2 Lender’s Tranche 2 Commitment, and subject to the other terms and   conditions hereof, the applicable Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay under Section   2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b).  Tranche 2 Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency   Rate Loans, as further provided herein.  The Borrowers designated to receive Tranche 2 Loans as of the   Closing Date are set forth on Schedule 2.01B.          2.02  Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.          (a)   Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the  other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable  notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by: (A) telephone or (B) a Committed Loan Notice.  Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business  Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate  Loans denominated in Dollars or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars to  Base Rate Committed Loans, (ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice  Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans  denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate  Committed Loans.  Each telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be   confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice,   appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company.  Each Borrowing of,   conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or   a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each   Committed Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of   $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Each Committed Loan Notice (whether   telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Company is requesting a Committed Borrowing (and   the applicable Tranche), a conversion of Committed Loans (and the applicable Tranche) from one Type to   the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing,   conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount   of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be  borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the  Interest Period with respect thereto, (vi) the currency of the Committed Loans to be borrowed, and (vii) if   applicable, the Designated Borrower.  If the Company fails to specify a currency in a Committed Loan   Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Committed Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars.  If the   Company fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Company fails   to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall   be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely   request a continuation of (x) Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or (y) Committed   Loans to a Designated Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary, such Loans shall be continued as   Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month.  Any automatic                                               41 





 






     conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with   respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  If the Company requests a Borrowing of, conversion   to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an   Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  No Committed Loan   may be converted into or continued as a Committed Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead   must be prepaid in the original currency of such Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.    No Tranche 1 Loan may be converted into or continued as a Tranche 2 Loan, and no Tranche 2 Loan may   be converted into or continued as a Tranche 1 Loan.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable   efforts to the extent practicable (taking into account the minimum denominations required for Committed   Borrowings and the Company or other Borrower’s need for Loans in Alternative Currencies) to allocate   Committed Borrowings hereunder such that, after giving pro forma effect to each such Committed   Borrowing, the percentage of unused Tranche 1 Commitments relative to the Aggregate Tranche 1   Commitments and unused Tranche 2 Commitments relative to the Aggregate Tranche 2 Commitments are   approximately equal; provided that, the failure to maintain such approximately equal percentages shall not   be a Default or Event of Default hereunder.          (b)   Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly  notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable  Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Company, the  Administrative Agent shall notify each Appropriate Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to  Base Rate Loans, continuation of Committed Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, or the  continuation of a Committed Loan to a Designated Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary, in each case as  described in the preceding subsection.  In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender  shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at  the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 12:30 p.m., in the case of any  Committed Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the  Administrative Agent in the case of any Committed Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the  Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable  conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01),   the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Company or other applicable   Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such   Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such   funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the   Administrative Agent by the Company; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice   with respect to such Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by the Company, there are L/C Borrowings   outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such   L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above.          (c)   Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or  converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan.  During the existence  of an Event of Default, (i) no Tranche 1 Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as  Eurocurrency Rate Loans having Interest Periods of greater than one month (whether in Dollars or any   Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required Tranche 1 Lenders, and the Required Tranche 1   Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Tranche 1 Loans constituting Eurocurrency   Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the   amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect   thereto (ii) no Tranche 2 Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans   having Interest Periods of greater than one month (whether in Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without   the consent of the Required Tranche 2 Lenders, and the Required Tranche 2 Lenders may demand that any   or all of the then outstanding Tranche 2 Loans constituting Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an                                               42 





 






    Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent  thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.         (d)   The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Appropriate Lenders  of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of  such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify  the Company and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base  Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.         (e)   After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from  one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more  than sixteen Interest Periods in effect with respect to all Committed Loans.          (f)   The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan to be made by it as part of any   Committed Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its   Committed Loan on the date of such Committed Borrowing.  Except as expressly contemplated by Section   2.16(a)(iv), no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Committed Loan   to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Committed Borrowing.          2.03  Letters of Credit.          (a)   Letter of Credit Commitment.                (i)   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in        reliance upon the agreements of the Tranche 1 Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time         to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit         Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternative         Currencies for the account of the Company, and to amend or extend, Letters of Credit previously         issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters         of Credit; and (B) the Tranche 1 Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued         for the account of the Company and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to         any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) the L/C Obligations issued by         and owing to any L/C Issuer shall not exceed its L/C Commitment unless otherwise agreed to by         such L/C Issuer in its sole discretion, and shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit in any         event, (x) the Total Tranche 1 Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Tranche 1         Commitments, (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Tranche 1 Lender shall not exceed such         Tranche 1 Lender’s Tranche 1 Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C        Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.  Each request by the Company for the        issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Company        that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to        the preceding sentence.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof,        the Company’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the        Company may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit        that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.  All Existing Letters of Credit        shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be        subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.                (ii) No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit, if:                                                 43 





 






                             (A)  subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of the requested Letter of         Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension,        unless the applicable L/C Issuer and the Required Tranche 1 Lenders have approved such        expiry date; or                (B)   the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the        Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless the applicable L/C Issuer and all the Tranche 1        Lenders have approved such expiry date.         (iii)  No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:                (A)  any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator        shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing the Letter of        Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or        not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such        L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters        of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer        with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which        such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date,        or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was        not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material        to it;               (B)   the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of        such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;               (C)   except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C        Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000;               (D)   except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C        Issuer, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an        Alternative Currency;               (E)   such L/C Issuer does not as of the issuance date of such requested Letter        of Credit issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency; or                (F)  any Tranche 1 Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C        Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory        to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Company or such Tranche 1 Lender to        eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to        Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of         Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as         to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its         sole discretion.          (iv)  No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be  permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.         (v)   No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A)  such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended                                                                 44 





 






        form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the       proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.               (vi)  Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Tranche 1 Lenders with respect to any       Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such L/C Issuer shall       have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with        respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of        Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters        of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included such L/C        Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect        to such L/C Issuer.         (b)   Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of  Credit.               (i)   Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the       request of the Company delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative       Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a       Responsible Officer of the Company.  Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile,       by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided       by such L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to such L/C Issuer.  Such       Letter of Credit Application must be received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not       later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative       Agent and such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the       proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.  In the case of a request for an       initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and       detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested       Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the       expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be       presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate       to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature       of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may       reasonably require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit,       such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C       Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which       shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as       the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require.  Additionally, the Company shall furnish to the       applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information       pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer       Documents, as the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.               (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C       Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the       Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Company       and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless the       applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Tranche 1 Lender, the Administrative       Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or       amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in       Article IV or in the proviso in Section 2.03(a)(i)(w) – (z) shall not then be satisfied, then, subject        to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of                                            45 





 






                 Credit for the account of the Company or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be,   in each case in accordance with such L/C  Issuer'sIssuer’s usual and customary business practices.    Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Tranche 1 Lender shall be deemed to,   and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such L/C Issuer a risk   participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Tranche 1 Lender’s   Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.          (iii) If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the  applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic  extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-  Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once   in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by  giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”)   in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.    Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to make   a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of   Credit has been issued, the Tranche 1 Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not   require) such L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry   date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that no L/C Issuer shall   permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or  would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as  extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a)   or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before   the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the   Administrative Agent that the Required Tranche 1 Lenders have elected not to permit such   extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Tranche 1 Lender or the Company that one or   more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such   case directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.          (iv)  [Reserved].          (v)   Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of   Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C   Issuer will also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of   such Letter of Credit or amendment.    (c)   Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.          (i)   Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing  under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Company and the  Administrative Agent thereof.  In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative  Currency, the Company shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency,  unless (A) such L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require  reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in  Dollars, the Company shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice  of drawing that the Company will reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars.  In the case of any such  reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative  Currency, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the  amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof.  Not later than 12:00 noon  on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed                                                                 46 





 






                 in Dollars, if the Company has been so notified at or before 11:00 a.m. on such date, otherwise not   later than 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment   by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such   date, an “Honor Date”), the Company shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative   Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable Alternative   Currency.  In the event that (A) a drawing denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be   reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the second sentence in this Section 2.03(c)(i) and (B) the Dollar   amount paid by the Company, whether on or after the Honor Date, shall not be adequate on the date   of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in   the Alternative Currency equal to the drawing, the Company agrees, as a separate and independent   obligation, to indemnify the applicable L/C Issuer for the loss resulting from its inability on that   date to purchase the Alternative Currency in the full amount of the drawing.  If the Company fails   to timely reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer on the Honor Date, the Administrative Agent shall   promptly notify each Tranche 1 Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing   (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit   denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such   Tranche 1 Lender’s Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Company shall   be deemed to have requested a Tranche 1 Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the   Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and   multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the   amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments and the conditions set   forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice).  Any notice given by   the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be   given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an   immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.          (ii) Each Tranche 1 Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make   funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose)   for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for   Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage of the  Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the  Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Tranche 1   Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan   to the Company in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the   applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars.          (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a  Tranche 1 Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot   be satisfied or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the   applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so  refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and  shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each Tranche 1 Lender’s payment to the  Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii)   shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute   an L/C Advance from such Tranche 1 Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under   this Section 2.03.          (iv)  Until each Tranche 1 Lender funds its Tranche 1 Loan or L/C Advance pursuant  to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any                                                                  47 





 






                Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Tranche 1 Lender’s Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage of  such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.          (v)   Each Tranche 1 Lender’s obligation to make Tranche 1 Loans or L/C Advances to  reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by  this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any   circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which   such Tranche 1 Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Facility Guarantor, the Company,   any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance   of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the  foregoing; provided, however, that each Tranche 1 Lender’s obligation to make Tranche 1 Loans   pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than   delivery by the Company of a Committed Loan Notice).  No such making of an L/C Advance shall   relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer   for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with   interest as provided herein.          (vi)  If any Tranche 1 Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for  the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Tranche 1 Lender  pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section   2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be   entitled to recover from such Tranche 1 Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on   demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required   to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum   equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative,   processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing.    If such Tranche 1 Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so   paid shall constitute such Tranche 1 Lender’s Tranche 1 Loan included in the relevant Tranche 1   Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be.  A   certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Tranche 1 Lender (through the   Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive   absent manifest error.    (d)   Repayment of Participations.          (i)   At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and  has received from any Tranche 1 Lender such Tranche 1 Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such  payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account   of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon   (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied   thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Tranche 1   Lender its Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage thereof in Dollars and in the same funds as those   received by the Administrative Agent.          (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C  Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances   described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in   its discretion), each Tranche 1 Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such   L/C Issuer its Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent,   plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such                                                                 48 





 






        Tranche 1 Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in       effect.  The obligations of the Tranche 1 Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full       of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.         (e)   Obligations Absolute.

                (ix)   any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of        the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available        to, or a discharge of, the Facility Guarantor, the Company or any other Subsidiary.         The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto  that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s instructions or  other irregularity, the Company will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer.  The Company shall be  conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its  correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.          (f)   Role of L/C Issuer.  Each Tranche 1 Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any   drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any   document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit)   or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person   executing or delivering any such document.  None of the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent,   any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the applicable L/C   Issuer shall be liable to any Tranche 1 Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at   the request or with the approval of the Tranche 1 Lenders or the Required Tranche 1 Lenders, as applicable;   (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due   execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of   Credit or Issuer Document.  The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any   beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this   assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as   it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C   Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant   or assignee of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in   clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary   notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer   may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential  or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by such L/C   Issuer'sIssuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer'sIssuer’s willful failure to pay   under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s)   strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation   of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order,   without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and   such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or   assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds   thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.  The applicable   L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the   Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier,   or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.          (g)   Applicability of ISP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and   the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing   Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing,   the applicable L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to the Company for, and such L/C Issuer’s rights and   remedies against the Company shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such L/C Issuer required   or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of   Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where such L/C Issuer or the   beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions,                                               50

(h)   Letter of Credit Fees.  The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account   of each Tranche 1 Lender in accordance, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.17, with its   Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each   Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to   be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn   under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with   Section 1.09.  Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of   each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the   issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii)   computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter,   the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the   Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Tranche 1   Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.          (i)   Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.  The   Company shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with   respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Joint Fee Letter, computed on the  Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis  in arrears.  Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each   March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion   thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of  such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  For purposes of  computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of  Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09.  In addition, the Company shall pay directly to   the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment   and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of   credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and   payable on demand and are nonrefundable.          (j)   Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and   the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.          (k)   Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or   outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of a Subsidiary of the Company, the Company shall   be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter   of Credit.  The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit in support of   obligations of a Subsidiary of the Company inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s   business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of its Subsidiaries.          2.04  Swing Line Loans.

Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company  may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04.  Each  Swing Line Loan denominated in (i) Dollars shall be a Base Rate Loan and (ii) Euros shall be an Euro  Overnight Rate Loan.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Tranche 1 Lender shall  be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Swing  Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Tranche  1 Lender’s Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.         (b)   Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the applicable  Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the applicable Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which  may be given by: (A) telephone (in the case of Swing Line Loans issued by Bank of America only) or (B)  a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the applicable Swing Line Lender and  the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time (in the case of Dollar-denominated Swing  Line Loans) or 11:00 a.m. London time (in the case of Euro-denominated Swing Line Loans) on the  requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of  $1,000,000/€1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000/€500,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested  borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice to Bank of America in its  capacity as Swing Line Lender must be confirmed promptly by delivery to it and the Administrative Agent  of a written Swing Line Loan Notice in such form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent  (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the  Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the applicable  Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the applicable Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the  applicable Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent in writing that the Administrative  Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the applicable Swing Line Lender will  notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the contents thereof. Unless the applicable Swing Line Lender  has received notice in writing from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Tranche 1  Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. Eastern time (in the case of Dollar-denominated Swing Line Loans) or 12:00  noon London time (in the case of Euro-denominated Swing Line Loans) on the date of the proposed Swing  Line Borrowing (A) directing the applicable Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a  result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one  or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms  and conditions hereof, the applicable Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time (in the  case of Dollar-denominated Swing Line Loans) or 3:00 p.m. London time (in the case of Euro-denominated  Swing Line Loans) on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of                                             52 





 






   its Swing Line Loan available to the applicable Borrower by wire transfer to the account specified by the  applicable Borrower in its Swing Line Loan Notice.         (c)   Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.               (i)   The applicable Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion       may request, on behalf of the applicable Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the       applicable Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Tranche 1 Lender make a       Eurocurrency Rate Loan (with a one-month Interest Period) in the applicable currency in an amount       equal to such Tranche 1 Lender’s Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage of the amount of Swing Line       Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be       deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the       requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for        the principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the        Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The applicable        Swing Line Lender shall furnish the applicable Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed        Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Tranche 1        Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage of the amount specified        in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the        Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing        Line Loan) for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s        Office for payments in such currency not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such        Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Tranche 1 Lender that so        makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Eurocurrency Rate Loan to the applicable        Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the        applicable Swing Line Lender.               (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed        Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Eurocurrency Rate Loans        submitted by the applicable Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request        by the applicable Swing Line Lender that each of the Tranche 1 Lenders fund its risk participation        in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Tranche 1 Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent        for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed        payment in respect of such participation.               (iii) If any Tranche 1 Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for        the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Tranche        1 Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified        in Section 2.04(c)(i), the applicable Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such        Tranche 1 Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest        thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment        is immediately available to the applicable Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the        applicable Overnight Rate (in the case of Dollar-denominated Swing Line Loans) or the Euro        Overnight Rate (in the case of Euro-denominated Swing Line Loans) from time to time in effect,        plus any administrative processing or similar fees customarily charged by the applicable Swing        Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Tranche 1 Lender pays such amount (with        interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Tranche 1 Lender’s Tranche        1 Loan included in the relevant Tranche 1 Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing        Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable Swing Line Lender submitted to any                                             53 





 






         Tranche 1 Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under        this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.               (iv)  Each Tranche 1 Lender’s obligation to make Tranche 1 Loans or to purchase and        fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and        unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,        counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Tranche 1 Lender may have against        the applicable Swing Line Lender, the applicable Borrower or any other Person for any reason        whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or        condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Tranche 1        Lender’s obligation to make Tranche 1 Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the        conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise        impair the obligation of the Company to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided        herein.         (d)   Repayment of Participations.               (i)   At any time after any Tranche 1 Lender has purchased and funded a risk        participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the applicable Swing Line Lender receives any payment on        account of such Swing Line Loan, the applicable Swing Line Lender (through the Administrative        Agent) will distribute to such Tranche 1 Lender its Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage thereof in the        same funds as those received by the applicable Swing Line Lender.               (ii) If any payment received by the applicable Swing Line Lender in respect of        principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by such Swing Line Lender        under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement        entered into by the applicable Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Tranche 1 Lender shall        pay to such Swing Line Lender its Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage thereof on demand of the        Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount        is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate (in the case of Dollar-       denominated Swing Line Loans) or the Euro Overnight Rate (in the case of Euro-denominated        Swing Line Loans). The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the        applicable Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Tranche 1 Lenders under this clause shall        survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.         (e)   Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender.  Each Swing Line Lender shall be responsible  for invoicing the applicable Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans made by it. Until each Tranche  1 Lender funds its Eurocurrency Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance  such Tranche 1 Lender’s Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of  such Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage shall be solely for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender.         (f)   Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender.  The applicable Borrower shall make all  payments of principal and interest in respect of its Swing Line Loans directly to the applicable Swing Line  Lender.         2.05  Prepayments.  (a) Each Borrower may, upon notice from the Company to the  Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in  part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be in a form reasonably acceptable to  the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system  as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible                                            54 





 






     Officer, and received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior   to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (B) four Business Days (or   five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of   prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies  and (C) on the date of   prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated   in Dollars shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;   (iii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be in a   minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iv) any   prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple   of $500,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.    Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, the Type(s) of Committed Loans   to be prepaid, and the applicable Tranche, and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest   Period(s) of such Loans, and any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-  occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which   case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or   prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  The Administrative Agent will   promptly notify each Tranche 1 Lender of its receipt of each such notice in respect of any Tranche 1 Loans,   and of the amount of such Tranche 1 Lender’s Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage of such prepayment and   will promptly notify each Tranche 2 Lender of its receipt of each such notice in respect of any Tranche 2   Loans, and of the amount of such Tranche 2 Lender’s Applicable Tranche 2 Percentage of such prepayment.    Following such notice by the Company, the applicable Borrower shall make such prepayment and the   payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any   prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount   prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.  Subject to Section 2.17,   each such prepayment of Tranche 1 Loans shall be applied to the Tranche 1 Loans of the Tranche 1 Lenders   in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche 1 Percentages and each such prepayment of Tranche   2 Loans shall be applied to the Tranche 2 Loans of the Tranche 2 Lenders in accordance with their respective   Applicable Tranche 2 Percentages.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to the extent   practicable (taking into account the minimum denominations required for prepayments) to allocate   prepayments hereunder such that, after giving pro forma effect to each such prepayment, the percentage of   unused Tranche 1 Commitments relative to the Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments and unused Tranche 2   Commitments relative to the Aggregate Tranche 2 Commitments are approximately equal; provided that,   the failure to maintain such approximately equal percentages shall not be a Default or Event of Default  hereunder.          (b)   The applicable Borrower may, upon notice to the applicable Swing Line Lender (with a   copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans   in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the   applicable Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time (in the   case of Dollar-denominated Swing Line Loans) or 11:00 a.m. London time (in the case of Euro-  denominated Swing Line Loans) on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a   minimum principal amount of $100,000/€100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of   such prepayment. If such notice is given by the applicable Borrower, the applicable Borrower shall make   such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date   specified therein.          (c)                   (i)   If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Total         Tranche 1 Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Tranche 1                                               55 





 






           Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the         Borrowers shall prepay Tranche 1 Loans and/or the Company shall Cash Collateralize the L/C         Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date         of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments then in         effect; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.16(a), the Company shall not         be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) unless after         the prepayment in full of the Tranche 1 Loans, the Total Tranche 1 Outstandings exceed the         Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments then in effect.  The Administrative Agent may, at any time and         from time to time after the initial deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash         Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.                (ii) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Total        Tranche 2 Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Tranche 2        Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the        Borrowers shall prepay Tranche 2 Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such        Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Aggregate        Tranche 2 Commitments then in effect.         2.06  Termination or Reduction of Commitments.          (a)   The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate  Tranche 1 Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments;  provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.   five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in   an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the   Company shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments if, after giving effect thereto   and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Tranche 1 Outstandings would exceed the   Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments, (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Tranche   1 Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the   Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such   excess; provided that any such reduction in the Sublimit shall be allocated between the Letter of Credit   Sublimit, the Swing Line Dollar Sublimit and the Swing Line Euro Sublimit as directed by the Company   and, in the absence of such direction, pro rata among the Swing Line Dollar Sublimit, the Swing Line Euro   Sublimit and the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (v) no such reduction or termination under any Tranche  hereunder shall be permitted unless a reduction or termination is made simultaneously under the other  Tranche on a pro rata basis, and (vi) any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or  non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in  which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on  or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  The Administrative Agent will  promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Tranche 1  Commitments.  The amount of any such Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitment reduction shall not be applied  to the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Company.

All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Tranche 1   Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.          (b)   The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate  Tranche 2 Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Tranche 2 Commitments;  provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.                                               56

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify   the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Tranche 2 Commitments.  Any   reduction of the Aggregate Tranche 2 Commitments shall be applied to the Tranche 2 Commitment of each   Tranche 2 Lender according to its Applicable Tranche 2 Percentage (other than a reduction pursuant to   Section 2.14(f)).  All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Tranche 2   Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.          2.07  Repayment of Loans.

(b)   (i)  (i)If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any   applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall   thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the   fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.                (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by any Borrower under        any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether        at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders,        such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal        to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.               (iii) [Reserved].                                                57 





 






                (iv)   Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due        interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.         (c)   Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date  applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and  payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the  commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.          2.09  Fees.  In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03:          (a)   Facility Fees.    (i) (i) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account   of each Tranche 1 Lender in accordance with its Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage, a facility fee (the   “Tranche 1 Facility Fee”) in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount of the   Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments (or, if the Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments have terminated, on the   Total Tranche 1 Outstandings), regardless of usage, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.17.  The   Tranche 1 Facility Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any   Tranche 1 Loans, Swing Line Loans or L/C Obligations remain outstanding), including at any time during   which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in   arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first   such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period (and, if applicable,   thereafter on demand).  The Tranche 1 Facility Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is   any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and   multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate   was in effect.                (ii) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each        Tranche 2 Lender in accordance with its Applicable Tranche 2 Percentage, a facility fee (the        “Tranche 2 Facility Fee”) in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount of         the Aggregate Tranche 2 Commitments (or, if the Aggregate Tranche 2 Commitments have         terminated, on the Total Tranche 2 Outstandings), regardless of usage, subject to adjustment as         provided in Section 2.17.  The Tranche 2 Facility Fee shall accrue at all times during the         Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Tranche 2 Loans remain outstanding), including         at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due         and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and         December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day         of the Availability Period (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).  The Tranche 2 Facility Fee         shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any         quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately        for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.          (b)   Other Fees.  (i) The Company shall pay to the Arrangers and Administrative Agent for their   own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters.  Such   fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.                (ii) (ii)The Company shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall have been         separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.  Such fees shall be         fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.          2.10  Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans  (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the basis                                               58 





 






     of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees   and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more  fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case  of interest in respect of Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market  practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice.  Interest shall accrue on each  Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the  day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on   which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the   Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,   absent manifest error.  With respect to all Non-LIBOR Quoted Currencies, the calculation of the applicable   interest rate shall be determined in accordance with market practice.          2.11  Evidence of Debt.  (a)  The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by   one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary   course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall   be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the   Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall   not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing   with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained   by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the   accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the   request of any Lender to a Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall execute   and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s   Loans to such Borrower in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to a   Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and   payments with respect thereto.          (b)   In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a) above, each Tranche 1   Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or   records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Tranche 1 Lender of participations in Letters of Credit   and Swing Line Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the   Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Tranche 1 Lender in respect of such matters, the   accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.          2.12  Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.  (a)  General.  All payments   to be made by the Borrowers shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any   counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except   with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by   the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Appropriate   Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in   Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  Except as otherwise expressly   provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans   denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the   Appropriate Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in   such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the   Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the   Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United   States.  If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment   hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar   Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount.  The Administrative Agent will promptly                                               59 





 






    distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided  herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All  payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or   (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an   Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any   applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come   due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and   such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.          (b)   (i)  Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative   Agent shall have received notice from an Appropriate Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed   Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans,   prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Appropriate Lender will not make  available to the Administrative Agent such Appropriate Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, the  Administrative Agent may assume that such Appropriate Lender has made such share available on such  date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that   such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02)   and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding   amount.  In such event, if an Appropriate Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed   Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Appropriate Lender and the   applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such   corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date   such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative   Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any   administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection   with the foregoing,  and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate  applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the  Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit  to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays  its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall  constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing.  Any payment by such  Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have  failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.                (ii) (ii)Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the         Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any         payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Appropriate Lenders or the         applicable L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the         Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in         accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate         Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if such Borrower         has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C         Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on         demand the amount so distributed to such Appropriate Lender or such L/C Issuer, in Same Day         Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to         it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.          A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount  owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.                                                60 





 






           (c)   Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the   Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to any Borrower as provided in the   foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower by the   Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are   not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such   funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.          (d)   Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make   Committed Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c), and of the Tranche 1 Lenders to   fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, are several and not joint.  The failure of any   Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section   11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation   to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its   Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).          (e)   Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds   for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has   obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.          2.13  Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff   or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the   Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it   resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed   Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided   herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such   fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans in the Tranche in   respect of which it is an Appropriate Lender and (in the case of Tranche 1 Lenders) subparticipations in   L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Tranche 1 Lenders, or make such other adjustments as   shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in   accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed   Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:                (i)   if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion        of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be        rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and                (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment        made by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this        Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender),        (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.16, or (z) any payment obtained by         a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed         Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant,         other than an assignment to the Facility Guarantor or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the        provisions of this Section shall apply).          Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under  applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may  exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as  fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.                                                61

In connection with any such approval consideration, the Administrative Agent and the Required Tranche 1   Lenders or Required Tranche 2 Lenders, as the case may be, may request of the Company an amendment   to the Credit Agreement to the extent necessary or advisable in their determination to comply with, qualify   under or avoid registration pursuant to jurisdictional laws and regulations applicable to such Applicant   Borrower (as an example, for the avoidance of doubt, amending the Credit Agreement to impose greater                                               62 





 






     borrowing minimums for a specific Designated Borrower).  If the Administrative Agent and all the   Appropriate Lenders under a Tranche approve the Company’s request and agree that an Applicant Borrower   shall become a Designated Borrower and be entitled to receive Loans hereunder, then promptly following   receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents   or information, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit I (a   “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which   the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof and under which   Tranche or Tranches the Applicant Borrower will be eligible to borrow, whereupon each of the Lenders   agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder under the Tranche or Tranches   designated in the Designated Borrower Notice, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the   parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this   Agreement; provided that no Committed Loan Notice or Letter of Credit Application may be submitted by   or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five Business Days after such effective date;   provided, further, that Base Rate Loans may not be made to any Designated Borrower that is a Foreign   Subsidiary.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Subsidiary organized under the Laws of Spain or Singapore   will be permitted to borrow under Tranche 2.          (c)   The Obligations of all Designated Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries (i) shall be  several in nature, and each such Foreign Subsidiary shall be liable solely for the Obligations directly  incurred by it as a Designated Borrower hereunder, and (ii) shall be guaranteed by the Company and the  Facility Guarantor.          (d)   Each Subsidiary of the Company that is or becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to   this Section 2.14 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this   Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the   execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all   modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders to any such   Designated Borrower hereunder.  Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action   which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower   acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such   other Borrower joins therein.  Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or  other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be  deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.          (e)   The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from  the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative  Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status, provided that there are no   outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated   Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. The   Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s   status.          (f)                   (i)   If the Company shall designate a Subsidiary as a Designated Borrower hereunder         that is a Foreign Subsidiary, any Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the         Company, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in         respect of such Designated Borrower.  Additionally, (x) such Lender’s obligations under this         Agreement shall remain unchanged, (y) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other         parties hereto for the performance of those obligations, and (z) the Borrowers, the Administrative                                               63 





 






        Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender       in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.               (ii) As soon as practicable after receiving notice from the Company or the       Administrative Agent of the Company’s intent to designate a Subsidiary as a Designated Borrower,       and in any event no later than five Business Days after the delivery of such notice, for a Foreign       Subsidiary, any Lender under the applicable Tranche or Tranches that may not legally lend to,       establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such Designated       Borrower directly or through an Affiliate of such Lender as provided in the immediately preceding       paragraph (a “Protesting Lender”) shall so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in        writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, the Company shall, effective on or before the date        that such Designated Borrower shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either (A) notify the        Administrative Agent and such Protesting Lender that the Commitments of such Protesting Lender        shall be terminated; provided that such Protesting Lender shall have received payment of an amount        equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other        amounts payable to it hereunder, from (if such Protesting Lender’s Commitments are assigned) the        assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company        or the relevant Designated Borrower (in the case an assignment, of all other amounts or, if such        Commitments are terminated, of such outstanding principal and accrued interest, fees and other        amounts), or (B) cancel its request to designate such Subsidiary as a “Designated Borrower”        hereunder.         2.15  Increase in Commitments.         (a)   Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative  Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Company may from time to time, request an increase  in the Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding  $500,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of  $100,000,000 for such Tranche 1 Commitments. At the time of sending such notice, the Company (in  consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Appropriate  Lender under Tranche 1 is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days  from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).         (b)   Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Appropriate Lender under Tranche 1 shall notify the  Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Tranche 1  Commitment, and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage  of such requested increase.  Any Appropriate Lender under Tranche 1 not responding within such time  period shall be deemed to have declined to increase any Commitment provided by it hereunder. For the  avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be required to increase its Commitment hereunder.         (c)   Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.  The Administrative Agent  shall notify the Company and each Lender of the Appropriate Lenders under Tranche 1’s responses to each  request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of  the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be  unreasonably withheld), the Company may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Tranche 1  Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent  and its counsel.         (d)   Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments are increased  in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine the effective                                            64 





 






     date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent   shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase   Effective Date.          (e)   Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As  a conditionconditions precedent to such   increase, (1) the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated   as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Appropriate Lender under Tranche 1) signed   by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such   Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Company, certifying that,   before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article   V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any   materiality qualification included in the terms of any such representation or warranty) on and as of the   Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to   an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any   materiality qualification included in the terms of any such representation or warranty) as of such earlier   date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.15, the representations and warranties contained in   subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished   pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists and (2) (i) upon the   reasonable request of any Appropriate Lender under Tranche 1 made at least ten (10) days prior to the   Increase Effective Date, each Borrower shall have provided to such Lender the documentation and other   information so requested in connection with its KYC Obligations, in each case at least five (5) days prior   to the Increase Effective Date and (ii) at least five (5) days prior to the Increase Effective Date, any   Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation shall have   delivered, to each Appropriate Lender under Tranche 1 that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership   Certification in relation to such Borrower.  The Borrowers shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding   on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the   extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages   arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.          (f)   Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or   11.01 to the contrary.          2.16  Cash Collateral.          (a)   Certain Credit Support Events.  If (i) any L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing   request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter   of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) the Company shall  be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) or Section 8.02(c), or (iv) there shall   exist a Defaulting Lender, the Company shall immediately (in the case of clause (iii) above) or within one   Business Day (in all other cases) following any request by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C   Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount   (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above, after giving effect to   Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).  Additionally, if the   Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations   at such time exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days   after receipt of such notice, the Company shall provide Cash Collateral for the Outstanding Amount of the   L/C Obligations in an amount not less than the amount by which the Outstanding Amount of all L/C   Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit.                                                 65 





 






           (b)   Grant of Security Interest.  The Company, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting   Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent,   for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Appropriate Lenders, and agrees to   maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all   other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security   for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c).  If at any time   the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person   other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is   less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Company will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative   Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to   eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to   deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative   Agent.  The Company shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening,   activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of   Cash Collateral.          (c)   Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash   Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.17 or 8.02 in respect of   Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to   fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest   accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to  any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.          (d)   Release.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting   Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the   applicable Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination   of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance   with Section 11.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C   Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without   prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any   other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Loan   Documents, (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash   Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other   obligations, and (z) no Cash Collateral shall be released if an Event of Default then exists or would result   from such release.          2.17  Defaulting Lenders.          (a)   Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if   any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting   Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:                (i)   Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or         disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as         set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders,” “Required Tranche 1 Lenders,” and “Required         Tranche 2 Lenders” and Section 11.01.                (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other         amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether         voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the                                               66 





 






                Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08 shall be applied at such  time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment  of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second,  to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C  Issuers or the Swing Line Lenders hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting  Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.16; fourth, as the  Company may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which  such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as  determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and  the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such  Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this  Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to  such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in  accordance with Section 2.16; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C  Issuers or the Swing Line Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction  obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender  as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so  long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any  judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting  Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and  eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;  provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C  Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share,  and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the  conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely  to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis  prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting  Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and  Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder  without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or  payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting  Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and  redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.         (iii) Certain Fees.               (A)  Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees payable under       Sections 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to        extent allocable to the sum of (1) the Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans funded        by it, and (2) its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which        it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16.               (B)   Each Defaulting Lender which is a Tranche 1 Lender shall be entitled to       receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Tranche 1 Lender is a       Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage of       the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant       to Section 2.16.               (C)   With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) or any Letter of        Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or                                                                67 





 






                 (B) above, the Company shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any               such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting               Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated               to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each applicable               L/C Issuer and each applicable Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such               fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s               or such Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be               required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.                (iv)  Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  In the case         of Tranche 1 Commitments, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C         Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are         Tranche 1 Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche 1 Percentages         (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Tranche 1 Commitment) but only to the         extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation,         or are subsequently satisfied, in which event such reallocation shall occur when such conditions         are satisfied (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at         such time, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions         are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit         Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.          Subject to Section 11.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim         of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a         Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-        Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.                (v)   Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans.  If the reallocation described in         clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice         to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing        Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash        Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in        Section 2.16.          (b)   Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Company and the Administrative Agent agree in writing   that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, together with the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuers in   the case of a Tranche 1 Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of   the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include   arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at   par that portion of outstanding Tranche 1 Loans and/or Tranche 2 Loans of the other Lenders, as applicable,   or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the relevant   Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be   held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving   effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that   no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf   of the Company while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent   otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender  will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having  been a Defaulting Lender.                                                 68 





 






        2.18  Extension of Maturity Date.         (a)   Requests for Extension.  The Company may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who  shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than the first anniversary of the Closing Date and not later  than 45 days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (each, an “Extension Election Date”),  request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Maturity Date for an additional 364 days from the Maturity  Date then in effect hereunder, which request shall indicate the date on which such extension shall be  effective (which shall not be earlier than two Business Days following the Notice Date (as defined below))  (such date, the “Effective Date”); provided however, that (i) no Lender’s Maturity Date shall be extended  more than twice during the term of this Agreement, and (ii) the Company shall not request an extension  more than once in a twelve-month period.         (b)   Lender Elections to Extend.  Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall,  by notice to the Administrative Agent advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees  to such extension (each Lender that determines not to so extend its Maturity Date a “Non-Extending  Lender”) and shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in  any event no later than 30 days following the applicable Extension Election Date (the “Notice Date”)) and  any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed  to be a Non-Extending Lender.  The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate  any other Lender to so agree.         (c)   Notification by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company  of each Lender’s determination under this Section promptly, and in any event not more than five (5)  Business Days after the Notice Date.         (d)   Additional Commitment Lenders.  The Company shall have the right to replace each Non- Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible  Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section 11.13; provided that each  of such Additional Commitment Lenders shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which  such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Effective Date, undertake a  Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall  be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date).         (e)   Minimum Extension Requirement.  If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the  Lenders that have agreed to so extend their Maturity Date (each, an “Extending Lender”) and the additional  Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of  the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Election Date, then, effective as  of the Effective Date, (i) the Maturity Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment  Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Maturity Date then in effect (except that, if  such date is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business  Day), (ii) each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this  Agreement, (iii) the Aggregate Commitments as of the applicable Effective Date shall be equal to the  Commitments of the Extending Lenders and the Additional Committed Lenders and (iv) the Commitments  of each Non-Extending Lender shall be terminated.         (f)   Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions.  As a condition precedent to such extension, the  Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Effective  Date (in sufficient copies for each Extending Lender and each Additional Commitment Lender) signed by  a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan  Party approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) in the case of the Company, certifying that, before                                            69 





 






     and after giving effect to such extension, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and   the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any   materiality qualification included in the terms of any such representation or warranty) on and as of the   applicable Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to   an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any   materiality qualification included in the terms of any such representation or warranty) as of such earlier  date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.18, the representations and warranties contained in   subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished   pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists.  In addition, on   the Maturity Date of each Non-Extending Lender, the Borrowers shall prepay any Committed Loans   outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent   necessary to keep outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages of the   respective Lenders effective as of such date.          (g)   Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or   Section 11.01 to the contrary.                                     ARTICLE III.

(i)   Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under        any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as        required by applicable Laws.  If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of        the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from        any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or        such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the        information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.                (ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to        withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and        withholding taxes, from any payment under any Loan Document, then (A) the Administrative        Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to        be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection         (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to         the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the         withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the         applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the         making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable         under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have         received had no such withholding or deduction been made.                (iii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable         Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment under any Loan         Document, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall         withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information         and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the                                               70 





 






         Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount        withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and        (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the        sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required        withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional        sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum        it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.         (b)   Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties.  Without limiting the provisions of  subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in  accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the  payment of, any Other Taxes.         (c)   Tax Indemnifications.               (i)   Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and       shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full       amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or       attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or        required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest        and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified        Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A        reasonably detailed certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the        Company by a Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or        by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be        conclusive absent manifest error.  Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, indemnify the        Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after written        demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer for any reason fails        to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below.               (ii) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and       shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after written demand therefor, (x) the       Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer       (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent       for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Party to do so), (y) the       Administrative Agent and the Loan Party, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such       Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a        Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party, as applicable, against        any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in each case, that are payable        or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and        any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were        correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as        to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent        shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the        Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender        or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against        any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).               (iii) A Treaty Lender and a Designated Borrower that is resident in the United Kingdom       for tax purposes shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the                                            71 





 






        Designated Borrower to obtain authorization to make payments to the Treaty Lender with respect       to a Loan to the Designated Borrower without a Tax Deduction or reduced Tax Deduction. A Treaty       Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that       scheme to apply to this Agreement with respect to such a Loan, shall confirm its scheme reference       number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to the Administrative Agent and the Designated       Borrower.               (iv)  If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax       residence in accordance with Section 3.01(c)(iii) above and:                     (A)  a Loan Party making a payment to that Lender has not made a Borrower             DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender; or                    (B)   a Loan Party making a payment to that Lender has made a Borrower DTTP             Filing in respect of that Lender but:                           (1)(1)       that Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM                    Revenue & Customs; or                           (2)(2)      HM Revenue & Customs has not given the Loan Party                    authority to make payments to that Lender without a Tax Deduction within 60 days                    of the date of the Borrower DTTP Filing,         and in each case, the Loan Party has notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and the Loan        Party shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that Loan        Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction or reduced Tax        Deduction.               (v)   If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax       residence in accordance with Section 3.01(c)(iii) above, no Loan Party shall make a Borrower        DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of        that Lender'sLender’s Commitment or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise        agrees.               (vi)  A Loan Party shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy       of that Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender.              (vii) Each Treaty Lender shall provide new details (or successor details) upon the       expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered details.         (d)   Evidence of Payments.  Upon request by the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the  case may be, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent to a  Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative  Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company, as the case may be, the original or a  certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any  return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory  to the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.                                              72 





 






                 (e)   Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.          (i)   Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax  with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the  Administrative Agent, at the time or times required by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by  the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation  prescribed by applicable Laws or the taxing authorities of a jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable  Laws or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such  payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any  Lender, at the time or times required by applicable Laws or if reasonably requested by the Company  or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Laws  or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company  or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup  withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in  the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation  (other than such documentation either (A) set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)   below or (B) required by applicable Laws other than the Code or the taxing authorities of the   jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable Laws to comply with the requirements for exemption or   reduction of withholding tax in that jurisdiction) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable   judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material   unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of   such Lender.          (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a  U.S. Person,               (A)   any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the        Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under        this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the        Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying        that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;               (B)   any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver        to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be        requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes        a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable        request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is        applicable:                      (I)  in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income               tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of               interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or               W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.               federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and               (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS               Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or               reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or               “other income” article of such tax treaty;                     (II)  executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;                                                                 73 





 






                             (III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the        exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate        substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is         not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent        shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the        Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of        the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS         Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or                (IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner,        executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,        IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance        Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-3, IRS Form W-        9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;         provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or         indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest        exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate        substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect         partner;          (C)   any Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the  Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by  the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this  Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company  or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable  law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax,  duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by  applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the  withholding or deduction required to be made; and          (D)  if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject  to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply  with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in  Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the  Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such  time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such  documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section  1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by  the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the  Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that  such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine  the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this  clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this   Agreement.For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from   and after the effective date of this Agreement, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent   shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the   Agreement as not qualifying as a  "“grandfathered obligation"” within the meaning of   Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).                                                             74 





 






               (iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the case of a Borrower which       is tax resident in Spain, (A) any Lender that is tax resident in a Member State of the European       Union, provided it does not obtain income through a territory considered to be a tax haven for       Spanish tax purposes nor acts through a permanent establishment located in Spain or outside the       European Union with which that Lender'sLender’s income is effectively connected, shall deliver        to such Borrower a tax certificate duly issued by the competent Tax authorities of its country of        residence evidencing such Lender as resident for tax purposes in that country; and (B) any Treaty        Lender in respect of Spain shall deliver to such Borrower a tax certificate duly issued by the        competent Tax authorities of its country of residence evidencing such Lender as resident for tax        purposes in that country within the meaning of the Treaty.               (iv)  The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that if any form or certification       it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in        any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the        Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.               (v)   The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company from time to time upon        the reasonable request of the Company executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (and/or other        applicable tax forms) certifying that the Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal        withholding tax.         (f)   Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the  Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or L/C  Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or  deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be.  If any  Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes  as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid  additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such  refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party  under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket  expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid  by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon  the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties,  interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the  Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to  the contrary in this subsection (f), in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount  to such Loan Party pursuant to this subsection (f) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less  favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to  indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and  the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This  subsection (f) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other  information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.         (g)   Value Added Taxes.               (i)   All amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any Borrower to       a Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes       are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject       to paragraph  (ii) below(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any        Lender to any Borrower under a Loan Document, and such Lender is required to account to the                                            75 





 






        relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Borrower must pay to such Lender (in addition to and at       the same time as paying the consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the        VAT (and such Lender must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Borrower).               (ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender       (the “Supplying Lender”) to any other Lender (the “Receiving Lender”) under a Loan Document,        and any party other than the Receiving Lender (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of        any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplying        Lender (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Receiving Lender in respect of        that consideration):                     (A)  (where the Supplying Lender is the person required to account to the             relevant tax authority for the VAT), the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplying             Lender (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount             of such VAT.  The Receiving Lender must (where this paragraph (ii)(ii) applies) promptly              pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Receiving Lender              receives from the relevant tax authority which the Receiving Lender reasonably determines              relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and                     (B)   (where the Receiving Lender is the person required to account to the             relevant tax authority for the VAT), the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand             from the Receiving Lender, pay to the Receiving Lender an amount equal to the VAT             chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Receiving Lender reasonably             determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in             respect of that VAT.              (iii)  Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Recipient       for any cost or expense, that party must reimburse and indemnify (as the case may be) the Recipient       for the full amount of such cost or expense, including that part which represents VAT, except to       the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment from       the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.               (iv)  Any reference in this clause (g) (Value Added Taxesg (Value Added Taxes) to any        party will, at any time when that party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include        (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative        member of that group at that time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as        in the Value Added Tax Act 1994 of England and Wales or in the relevant legislation of any other        relevant jurisdiction having implemented Council Directive 2006/112/EC of the European Union        on the common system of value added tax).               (v)   In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any party under a Loan Document,       if reasonably requested by such Recipient, that party must promptly provide such Recipient with       details of that party'sparty’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested        in connection with such Recipient'sRecipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such        supply.         (h)   Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or  replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or  L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other  Obligations.                                            76 





 






          3.02  Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any  Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to  determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has  imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of,  Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such  Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or  continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency  Rate Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be  suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate  Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the  Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such  illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate  component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the  Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such  notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),  prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans  of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if  necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the  Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if  such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately,  if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice  asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency  Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable  to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative  Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge  interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers  shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.   If, in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender determines that  any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the  Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to (i) perform any  of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (ii) to fund or maintain its participation in  any Loan or (iii) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any Credit Extension to any  Designated Borrower who is a Foreign Subsidiary such Person shall promptly notify the Administrative  Agent, then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Company, and until such notice by such Person  is revoked, any obligation of such Person to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to  any such Credit Extension shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable Law,  cancelled.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Loan Parties shall, (A) repay that Person’s participation in the  Loans or other applicable Obligations on the last day of the Interest Period for each Loan or other Obligation  occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified the Company or, if earlier, the date specified by such  Person in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any  applicable grace period permitted by applicable Law) and (B) take all reasonable actions requested by such  Person to mitigate or avoid such illegality.         3.03  Inability to Determine Rates.  If in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate  Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (a) (i) the Administrative Agent determines that deposits  (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore  interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency  Rate Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for  any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in                                               77 





 






     Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each   case with respect to clause (a) above, “Impacted Loans”), (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required   Tranche 1 Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period   with respect to a proposed Tranche 1 Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly   reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (c) the Administrative Agent   or the Required Tranche 2 Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested   Interest Period with respect to a proposed Tranche 2 Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not   adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the   Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Appropriate Lender.  Thereafter, (x)   the obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected   currency or currencies shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest   Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the   Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in   determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the   instruction of the Required Tranche 1 Lenders or Required Tranche 2 Lenders, as applicable) revokes such   notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of,   conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies (to the   extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have   converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount   specified therein.          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described  in clause (a)(i) of this section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Company and the Required   Tranche 1 Lenders or Required Tranche 2 Lenders, as applicable, may establish an alternative interest rate   for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the  Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted  Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required   Tranche 1 Lenders or Required Tranche 2 Lenders, as applicable, notify the Administrative Agent and the   Company that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders   of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that   any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending   Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate   of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has   imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the   Administrative Agent and the Company written notice thereof.  Notwithstanding anything else herein, in   no event shall any such alternative rate be less than 0.50% for purposes of this Agreement.          3.04  Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.          (a)   Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:                (i)   impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,         insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or         credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by         Section 3.04(e), other than as set forth below) or L/C Issuer;                (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes        described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income         Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its         deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or                                               78 





 






                 (iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other         condition, cost or expense (in each case, other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or         Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;    and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making converting to,   continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency   Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or   such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its   obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or  receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount)  then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Company will pay (or cause the applicable  Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount  or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs  incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such amounts shall be consistent conceptually with amounts   that the Lender or L/C Issuer is generally charging other similarly situated borrowers and shall not be   duplicative of any amounts paid by the Company under any other provision of this Agreement.          (b)   Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law   affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such   L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the   effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such   Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the   Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line   Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which   such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved   but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the   policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then   from time to time the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such   Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such   Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction   suffered; provided that such amounts shall be consistent conceptually with amounts that such Lender or   such L/C Issuer is generally charging other similarly situated borrowers and shall not be duplicative of any   amounts paid by the Company under any other provision of this Agreement.          (c)   Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or a L/C Issuer setting forth the   amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the  case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company shall be   conclusive absent manifest error.  The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to   pay) such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate   within 10 days after receipt thereof.          (d)   Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand   compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such   Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be   required to compensate a Lender or a L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for   any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender   or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such   increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation   therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,                                                79 





 






    then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect  thereof).          (e)   Additional Reserve Requirements.  The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable   Designated Borrower to pay) to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain   reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits   (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each   Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender   (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as   such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of   any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the   Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a   percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the   actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good   faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date   on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have received at least 10 days’ prior   notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender.  If   a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or   costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.          3.05  Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the  Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall promptly compensate (or cause the applicable  Designated Borrower to compensate) such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost  or expense incurred by it as a result of:          (a)   any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate  Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory,  automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);         (b)   any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a  Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the  amount notified by the Company or the applicable Designated Borrower;         (c)   any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of  Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any  payment thereof in a different currency; or          (d)   any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest  Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 11.13;    including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment   of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such   funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract, but excluding any loss of   profits or margin.  The Company shall also pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) any   customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.    For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company (or the applicable Designated Borrower) to   the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate   Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the                                                80

(a)   Designation of a Different Lending Office.  Each Lender may make any Credit Extension   to a Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the   obligation of such Borrower to repay the Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires any Borrower to pay Indemnified   Taxes or any additional amounts to any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the   account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant   to Section 3.02, then at the request of the Company such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, 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 or such L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts   payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the   notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or such   L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be   disadvantageous to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be.  The Company hereby agrees to   pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by   any Lender or any L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.          (b)   Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if   any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to the   Administrative Agent or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section   3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in   accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Company may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.          3.07  Survival.  All obligations of the Loan Parties under this Article III shall survive termination   of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the   Administrative Agent.

(d)   The Closing Date shall have occurred on or before February 4, 2016.

    (automatically or otherwise) or an offer to repurchase, prepay or redeem any Indebtedness, or the delivery  of any notice with respect thereto, solely as a result of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ failure to  consummate a merger or other acquisition contemplated to be funded in whole or in part with the proceeds  of such Indebtedness; or (ii) there occurs under any Swap Contract an Early Termination Date (as defined  in such Swap Contract) resulting from (A) any event of default under such Swap Contract as to which the  Facility Guarantor, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries is the Defaulting Party (as defined in such  Swap Contract) or (B) any Termination Event (as so defined) under such Swap Contract as to which the  Facility Guarantor, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries is an Affected Party (as so defined) and, in  either event, the Swap Termination Value owed by the Facility Guarantor, the Company or any of their  Subsidiaries as a result thereof is equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount, and in the case of any  Early Termination Date resulting from such a Termination Event, such Early Termination Date is not  rescinded or such Swap Termination Value is not paid within 5 Business Days following such Early  Termination Date; or          (f)   Insolvency Proceedings, Etc.

Any provision of any Loan Document that is material (in   the determination of the Required Lenders), at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason                                              107 





 






    other than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder or satisfaction in full of all the Obligations, ceases  to be in full force and effect; or any Loan Party or any other Person contests in any manner the validity or  enforceability of any provision of any Loan Document; or any Loan Party denies that it has any or further  liability or obligation under any Loan Document, or purports to revoke, terminate or rescind any provision  of any Loan Document; or          (k)   Change of Control.  There occurs any Change of Control; or          (l)   Declared Company.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the  Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any  or all of the following actions:          (a)   declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C  Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall  be terminated;          (b)   declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and  unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to  be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of  which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law;         (c)    require that the Company Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to  the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect thereto); and         (d)    exercise on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers all rights and remedies  available to it, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under the Loan Documents;    provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect   to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each Lender to make   Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate,   the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall   automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Company to Cash Collateralize the L/C   Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the   Administrative Agent or any Lender; and provided further, however, that the Required Tranche 1 Lenders   and the Required Tranche 2 Lenders shall not have any power or authority under this Section 8.02 separate   or apart from that of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders with respect to all Loans and other   Obligations.          8.03  Application of Funds.  After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or   after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have   automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any   amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16 and 2.17,   be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:                                                108 





 






           First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and   other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and   amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;          Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other   amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers   (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the L/C Issuers   (including fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of any Lender or the L/C Issuers)   and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts   described in this clause Second payable to them;          Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit   Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the   L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;          Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and   L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts   described in this clause Fourth held by them;          Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each L/C Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that   portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent   not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.16; and          Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the   Company or as otherwise required by Law.    Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.16, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of   Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of   Credit as they occur.  If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have   either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any,   in the order set forth above.                                     ARTICLE IX.                              ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT         9.01  Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably  appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other  Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise  such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such  actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the  benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and no Loan Party shall have rights   as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term   “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the   Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations   arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom,   and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.          9.02  Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have   the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as   though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender,” “Lenders,” “Tranche 1 Lender,”                                              109 





 






    “Tranche 1 Lenders,” “Tranche 2 Lender,” or “Tranche 2 Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly  indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent  hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money  to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage  in any kind of business with the Facility Guarantor or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such  Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the  Lenders.         9.03  Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or  obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties  hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the  Administrative Agent:         (a)   shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default  has occurred and is continuing;          (b)   shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary  powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan  Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required  Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in  the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action   that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is   contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may   be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture,   modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and          (c)   shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any  duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan  Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative  Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.          The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the  consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as  shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the  circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or   willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.    The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice   describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by a Loan Party, a Lender or an   L/C Issuer.          The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into  (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other  Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or  thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the  covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any  Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan  Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth  in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered   to the Administrative Agent.                                               110 





 






          9.04  Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely  upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement,  instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website  posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise  authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to  it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any  liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a  Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled  to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition  is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice  to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of  such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for  the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any  action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.         9.05  Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and  exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more  sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may  perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related  Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related  Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in  connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as  Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct  of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non- appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in  the selection of such sub-agents.          9.06  Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give   notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Company.  Upon receipt of any such notice   of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a   successor, which (i) (i) shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank   with an office in the United States, (ii) (ii) shall be a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender and (iii) (iii) shall   have accepted such appointment.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required   Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent   gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the  “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)   on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the   qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be   a Defaulting Lender.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become   effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.          (b)   If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d)   of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in   writing to the Company and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation   with the Company, appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required   Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed   by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become   effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.                                                111 





 






           (c)   With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as  applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and  obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security  held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan  Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security  until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity  payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments,  communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall  instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required  Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a  successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become  vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent  (other than as provided in Section 3.01(h) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts   owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal   Effective Date, as applicable) and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from   all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged  therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Company to a successor  Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between   the Company and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or   removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04   shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and   their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while   the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.          Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also  constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender.  If Bank of America resigns as an L/C  Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of a L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to  all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C  Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans (with  respect to Swing Line Loans denominated in Dollars), Eurocurrency Rate Loans (with respect to Swing  Line Loans denominated in Euros) or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section   2.03(c).  If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line   Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the   effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans (with   respect to Swing Line Loans denominated in Dollars), Eurocurrency Rate Loans (with respect to Swing   Line Loans denominated in Euros) or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to   Section 2.04(c).  Upon the appointment by the Company of a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender   hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor   shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C   Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be   discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents,   and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any,   outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to   effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.          9.07  Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and each L/C   Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any   other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed   appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender and each   L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative                                              112 





 






    Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as  it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking  action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any  document furnished hereunder or thereunder.         9.08  No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the  Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have  any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in  its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder.         9.09  Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any  proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the  Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be  due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the  Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by  intervention in such proceeding or otherwise          (a)   to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and  unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to  file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the  L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,  disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their  respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative  Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and          (b)   to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such  claims and to distribute the same;    and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, judicial manager, sequestrator or other similar   official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C Issuer to make   such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to   the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent   any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the   Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent   under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.          Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or  consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization,  arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any L/C  Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any L/C Issuer  in any such proceeding.          9.10  Collateral Matters.  The Lenders and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize the  Administrative Agent to accept Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender  Parties pursuant to Section 7.01(m) or otherwise, and, at its option and in its discretion,          (a)   to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under  any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all  Obligations (other than unasserted indemnification, tax gross up, expense reimbursement or yield protection  obligations, in each case, for which no claim has been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters                                              113

Upon any such occurrence specified in this Section 9.10(c), the Administrative Agent shall execute   any documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to evidence such release, discharge and   termination in respect of the applicable Guarantee. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time,                                               114

   connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement,  any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).                                    ARTICLE X.                             CONTINUING GUARANTY         10.01 Guaranty.  The Facility Guarantor and each other Subsidiary of the Facility Guarantor or  the Company (without giving effect to clause (y) of the final sentence of the definition thereof) that becomes  a guarantor hereunder as a result of Section 6.15 or Section 6.16 (such entity, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”  and, together with the Facility Guarantor and the Designated Borrowers’ Guarantor, the “Guarantors”)  hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not  merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required  prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the  Obligations, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or  otherwise, of the Borrowers to the Lender Parties, arising hereunder or under any other Loan  Document (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof  and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Lender Parties in connection with the collection  or enforcement thereof). The Company (in such role, the “Designated Borrowers’ Guarantor”) hereby  absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a  guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment,  upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations,  whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the  Designated Borrowers to the Lender Parties, arising hereunder or under any other Loan  Document (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof  and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Lender Parties in connection with the collection  or enforcement thereof, the “Designated Borrowers’ Obligations”, which are part of and not in addition to  the “Obligations” and each reference to “Obligations” in this Article X shall refer to all Obligations in  respect of the Facility Guarantor and the Designated Borrowers’ Obligations in respect of the Designated  Borrowers’ Guarantor). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Obligations shall to the  maximum extent permitted by applicable law include any such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities, or  portion thereof, which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or compromised or shall be an allowed  or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any Loan Party under any  Debtor Relief Laws. The Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Obligations  shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the applicable  Guarantor, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations absent manifest  error. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the  Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity,  enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance  relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of either Guarantor  under this Guaranty (other than full payment and performance), and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably  waives to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law any defenses it may now have or hereafter  acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.         10.02 Rights of Lenders.  Each Guarantor consents and agrees to the maximum extent permitted  by applicable law that the Lender Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand,  and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof:  (a) amend, extend, renew,  compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations  or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise  dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Obligations; (c) apply such security and  direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders in                                           116 





 






    their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other  guarantors of any of the Obligations.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor  consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the  risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge  of such Guarantor.         10.03 Certain Waivers.  Each Guarantor waives to the maximum extent permitted by the  applicable law (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any  other guarantors, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Lender  Party) of the liability of any Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations  exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations  affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to proceed against any Borrower, proceed  against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Lender  Party whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by  any Lender Party; (f) any defense arising from any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event  affecting any term of an obligation of such Guarantor; and (g) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any  and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the  liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties (other than full payment and performance).  Each Guarantor  expressly waives to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law all setoffs and counterclaims and all  presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests,  notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever  with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation  or incurrence of new or additional Obligations.  As provided below, this Guaranty shall be governed by,  and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.         10.04 Obligations Independent; Limitation on Guarantees.         (a)   The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely  as surety, and are independent of the Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate  action may be brought against either Guarantor or both of the Guarantors to enforce this Guaranty whether  or not the Company, any Designated Borrower, or any other person or entity is joined as a party.          (b)   Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the obligations of each Guarantor   under its Guarantee shall be limited under the relevant laws applicable to such Guarantor and the granting   of such Guarantees (including laws relating to corporate benefit, capital preservation, financial assistance,   fraudulent conveyances and transfers, voidable preferences, or transactions under value) to the maximum   amount payable such that such Guarantees shall not constitute a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer,   voidable preference, a transaction under value or unlawful financial assistance or otherwise, or under   similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, cause the Guarantor to be insolvent under relevant   law or such Guarantee to be void, unenforceable or ultra vires or cause the directors and officers of such   Guarantor to be held in breach of applicable corporate or commercial law providing for such Guarantee.   The obligations of each Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all   other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including but not limited to any Guarantee by it of   other indebtedness), and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of   any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant   to its contribution obligations under this Agreement, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the   Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law, or being   void or unenforceable under any law relating to insolvency of debtors.                                                117 





 






          10.05 Subrogation.  Each Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution,   indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until   all of the Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and   performed in full (other than unasserted indemnification, tax gross up, expense reimbursement or yield   protection obligations, in each case, for which no claim has been made) and the Commitments and the   Facilities are terminated.  If any amounts are paid to either Guarantor in violation of the foregoing   limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender Parties and shall forthwith   be paid to the Lender Parties to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.          10.06 Termination; Reinstatement.  This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of   all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations and   any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than unasserted   indemnification, tax gross up, expense reimbursement or yield protection obligations, in each case, for   which no claim has been made) and the Commitments and Facilities are terminated.  Notwithstanding the   foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any   payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or either Guarantor is made, or any of the Lender Parties exercises   its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part   thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including   pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Lender Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a  trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or  otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the  Lender Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation,  rescission, termination or reduction.  The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive  termination of this Guaranty.         10.07 Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and  indebtedness of any Borrower owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising,  including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Lender  Parties or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in  full in cash of all Obligations.  If the Lender Parties so request after the occurrence and during the  continuance of an Event of Default, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Borrower to the applicable  Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Lender Parties  and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Lender Parties on account of the Obligations, but without  reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.         10.08 Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is  stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against either Guarantor or the Company under any  Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by such Guarantor  immediately upon demand by the Lender Parties.         10.09 Condition of Borrowers.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole  responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each applicable Borrower and any other  guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of such Borrower  and any such other guarantor as such Guarantor requires, and that none of the Lender Parties has any duty,  and such Guarantor is not relying on the Lender Parties at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any  information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Borrower or any other  guarantor (such Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Lender Parties to disclose such information  and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).                                                118

     Lenders (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the written consent of the Required Tranche 1 Lenders shall be   sufficient to approve any amendment, waiver or modification described in this Section 11.01(h));          (i)   except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.01, amend, waive or modify Section   2.01(b), any notice requirements or minimum or integral amounts with respect to prepayments of the   Tranche 2 Loans or reductions of the Tranche 2 Commitments, any provision of Article III pertaining solely   to the rights or obligations of the Tranche 2 Lenders, or any other provision of this Agreement providing   for or requiring the consent of the Required Tranche 2 Lenders, without the written consent of the Required   Tranche 2 Lenders (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the written consent of the Required Tranche 2 Lenders   shall be sufficient to approve any amendment, waiver or modification described in this Section 11.01(i));          (j)    (A) change any provision of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any  other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or  otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder without  the written consent of each Lender, (B) change any provision of this Section or the definition of “Required  Tranche 1 Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Tranche 1 Lenders  required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any  consent hereunder without the written consent of each Tranche 1 Lender, or (C) change any provision of  this Section or the definition of “Required Tranche 2 Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the  number or percentage of Tranche 2 Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights  hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder without the written consent of each  Tranche 2 Lender;          (k)   except as otherwise permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, otherwise change the  provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms could reasonably be expected, in any  material respect, to adversely affect payments due to Lenders holding Loans in a particular Tranche  differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans in the other Tranche without the prior written consent  of the requisite Lenders in the adversely affected Tranche (i.e., in the case of Tranche 1, the Required  Tranche 1 Lenders, and in the case of Tranche 2, the Required Tranche 2 Lenders);          (l)   release either the Facility Guarantor or the Designated Borrowers’ Guarantor from the  Guaranty without the written consent of each Lender;    and, provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the   applicable L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of such L/C Issuer   under this Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it;   (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the applicable Swing Line   Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the applicable Swing Line   Lender under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by   the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the   Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iv) the Fee Letters may be   amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the respective parties   thereto.

    single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further  exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers  and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not  exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the   authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan   Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection   with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in   accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and all the L/C Issuers; provided, however,   that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the   rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and   under the other Loan Documents, (b) each L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and   remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case   may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in   accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs   of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative   to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person   acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required   Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and   (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to   Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies   available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.          11.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative   Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the   foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee   harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the   reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee   or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Company or any other Loan Party) other   than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the   execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument   contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations   hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the   case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration   of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section   3.01), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any   refusal by the applicable L/C Issuer 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 Facility Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any   way to the Facility Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,   investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other   theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Facility Guarantor, the Company, or any other Loan   Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR   NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN     PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE,   CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity   shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or   related expenses (x) 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, (y) result   from a claim brought by the Facility Guarantor, the Company, or any other Loan Party against an   Indemnitee for material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan  Document, if the Facility Guarantor, the Company, or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, has  obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of  competent jurisdiction, or (z) result from disputes solely between or among Indemnitees (other than any  claims against any Indemnitee in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, an Arranger, an L/C Issuer or  the Swing Line Lender or any similar role under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any of  their Subsidiaries or Affiliates (in each case, acting in its capacity as such)) and not arising out of or  involving any act or omission of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including their   officers, directors, employees or controlling Persons).  Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(c),   this Section 11.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims,   damages, or liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim.          (c)   Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Company or the Facility Guarantor for   any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be   paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender   or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative   Agent (or any such sub-agent), the applicable L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, as   the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed   expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such   time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such   Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage   (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought),   provided further that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related                                              124 





 






     expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such   sub-agent), the applicable L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related   Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the applicable   L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders   under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).          (d)   Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,   no Loan Party shall assert, and hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, 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,   any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions   contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No   Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by   unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by   such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in   connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or   thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct   of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent   jurisdiction.

The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of Section 11.02(e)   shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the   replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction   or discharge of all the other Obligations.          11.05 Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is  made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C  Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any  part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required  (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such  Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any  proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation  or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as  if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C  Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without  duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon  from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable  Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment.  The  obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the   payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.          11.06 Successors and Assigns.          (a)   Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon   and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,   except that neither the Company nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights   or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender                                              125

(b)   Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all  or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment  under any Tranche and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C  Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with respect to  any Tranche) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:               (i)   Minimum Amounts.                     (A)  in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the             assigning Lender’s Commitment (in each case with respect to any Tranche) or             contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect             to such Assignment) that equal at least the amount specified in subsection (b)(i)(B) of this              Section in the aggregate and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Tranche or in the              case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no              minimum amount need be assigned; and                     (B)   in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the              aggregate amount of any Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding              thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding              balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined              as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered              to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and              Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the              Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,              the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or              delayed).               (ii) Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment        of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement        with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply        to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or prohibit any        Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Tranches        hereunder on a non-pro rata basis;               (iii) Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the        extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:                     (A)  the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld             or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing                                           126 





 






                       at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a         Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have         consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the         Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;                (B)   the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be        unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that        is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such        Lender;                (C)   the consent of each L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably        withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Tranche 1 Loans        and Tranche 1 Commitments that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in        exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and               (D)   the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably        withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Tranche 1 Loans        and Tranche 1 Commitments.          (iv)  Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and   deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing   and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent   may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any   assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an  Administrative Questionnaire.          (v)   No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made (A) to the   Facility Guarantor or any of the Facility Guarantor’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any   Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender   hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a   natural Person (or to a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for   the primary benefit of, a natural Person).          (vi)  Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and   obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and   until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall   make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient,   upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee   of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the   consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans   previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable   assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment   liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any   Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full   pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in   accordance with its Applicable Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any   assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective   under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee   of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until   such compliance occurs.                                                                127 





 






     Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this   Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee   thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment   and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning   Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be   released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption   covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease   to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04   with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided   that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting   Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s   having been a Defaulting Lender.  Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver   a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this   Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a   sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of   this Section.          (c)   Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the   Borrowers (and such agency being non-fiduciary and solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the   Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent   thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and   the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing   to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register   shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders   shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender   hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the   Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.          (d)   Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any   Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, sell participations to any   Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and   operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or the Facility Guarantor or any   of the Facility Guarantor’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such   Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment   and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans)   owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii)   such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such   obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall   continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such  Lender'sLender’s rights and   obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the   indemnity under Section 11.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.          Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide  that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,  modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument   may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,   waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant.    The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05   to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection   (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be                                              128 





 






   delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) 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 3.06 and 11.13 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 3.01 or 3.04, with  respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation 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.  Each Lender that  sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate  with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent  permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a  Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.  Each  Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the  Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal  amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan  Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all  or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information  relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under  any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that  such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c)  of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent  manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register  as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the  contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent)  shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.         (e)   Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or  any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of  such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any  other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall  release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for  such Lender as a party hereto.         (f)   Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary  contained herein, if at any time any L/C Issuer assigns all of its Tranche 1 Commitment and Tranche 1  Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such L/C Issuer may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Company and  the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer.  In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer, the Company  shall be entitled to appoint from among the Tranche I Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided,  however, that (x) no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of  any L/C Issuer and (y) no such appointment shall be effective without the consent of the appointed L/C  Issuer, as the case may be.  If any L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and  obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it outstanding as of the  effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the  right to require the Tranche 1 Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in  Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).  Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a)  such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of  the retiring L/C Issuer, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the  Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory  to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such  Letters of Credit. No resignation by any L/C Issuer shall impact or affect the rights, duties and obligations  of any other L/C Issuer hereunder.                                           129 





 






           (g)   Resignation as Swing Line Lender after Assignment.

In the event of any such resignation as Swing Line Lender, the   Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Tranche I Lenders a successor Swing Line Lender  hereunder; provided, however, that (x) no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect   the resignation of Bank of America as Swing Line Lender, as the case may be and (y) no such appointment   shall be effective without the consent of the appointed Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.  If Bank of   America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for   hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such   resignation, including the right to require the Tranche 1 Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or   fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).  Upon the   appointment of a successor Swing Line Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all   of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.          11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent,  the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below),  except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood  that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such  Information and shall have agreed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or  requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties  (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c)  to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to  any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other  Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the  enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions  substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective  assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee  invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.15(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related   Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to   any of the Borrowers and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential   basis to, upon the request of, (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries   or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in   connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to   the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the prior written consent of the Company, (i) on a   confidential basis to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, or (j) to   the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section   or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective   Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Facility Guarantor, the Company or any   of their Subsidiaries and that is not in breach of a confidentiality obligation to the Facility Guarantor or to   the Company or any of their Subsidiaries.  In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may   disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors,   similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Arrangers and the Lenders in   connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments,   but only to the extent consistent with information that has previously been publicly disclosed by the Facility   Guarantor.          For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Facility   Guarantor or any Subsidiary relating to the Facility Guarantor or any Subsidiary or any of their respective   businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or                                              130 





 






     any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Facility Guarantor or any Subsidiary   (from a source other than the Facility Guarantor or any Subsidiary and that is not in breach of a   confidentiality obligation to the Facility Guarantor or any Subsidiary), provided that, in the case of   information received from the Facility Guarantor or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information   is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the   confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its   obligation to do so if such Person has exercised reasonable care or the same degree of care to maintain the   confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Any consent  given pursuant to this Agreement in relation to personal data shall, subject to all applicable laws and  regulations, survive death, incapacity, bankruptcy or insolvency of any such individual and the termination  or expiration of this Agreement.          11.08 Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender,  each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to  time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or  special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations  (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for  the credit or the account of the Company or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of  the Company or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan  Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not  such Lender, L/C Issuer or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan  Document and although such obligations of the Company or such Loan Party may be contingent or  unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the  branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event   that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid   over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of   Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other   funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers  and the Lenders,   and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing   in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of   setoff.  The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in   addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or   their respective Affiliates may have.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each   Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates shall have no right to set off and apply any deposits                                              131

Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent   promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect   the validity of such setoff and application.          11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any  Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the  maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the   Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,   the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal,   refunded to the Company.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the   Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted   by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather   than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate,   and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the   Obligations hereunder.          11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in  counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an  original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other  Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative  Agent or the L/C Issuers, 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 that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties   hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other   electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed   counterpart of this Agreement.          11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made  hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in  connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such  representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each  Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf  and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of  any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any  Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than unasserted  indemnification, tax gross up, expense reimbursement or yield protection obligations, in each case, for  which no claim has been made) or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.          11.12 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to  be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions  of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the  parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions  with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid  or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or  render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions  of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating                                              132 





 






    to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the  Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall  be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.          11.13 Replacement of Lenders.  If the Company is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to  the   provisions of Section 3.06, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the   Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,   require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the   restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its   existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and   the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee   may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:          (a)   the Company shall have paid (or caused a Designated Borrower to pay) to the  Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.06(b);          (b)   such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding  principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts  payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05)   from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company   or applicable Designated Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);          (c)   in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section   3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction   in such compensation or payments thereafter;          (d)   such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and          (e)   in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender,  the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.          A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a  result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to  require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.           Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any replacement of a Lender under this Section   11.13, if a Lender that is being replaced pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, or is a Defaulting Lender   or a Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, that was provided notice as set forth in the previous paragraph   does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption   and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which   the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other   documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender that is   being replaced pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, of that is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-  Consenting Lender, as applicable, relating to the Loans so assigned shall be paid in full to such Lender,   then such Lender that is being replaced pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, of is a Defaulting Lender   or a Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such   Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as of such date, and the Administrative   Agent shall record such assignment in the Register.                                                133

To the extent that the Loan   Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other   agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a   “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of   the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the   Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated   thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit   Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported   QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States   or any other state of the United States):          (a)   In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”)   becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported                                              137 





 






   QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported  QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC  Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be  effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support  (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or  a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes  subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents  that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against  such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be  exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were  governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing,  it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall  in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit  Support.
