CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of April 6, 2021, among PHILLIPS 66 PARTNERS LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), PHILLIPS 66 PARTNERS HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Initial Guarantor”), the several banks and financial institutions from time to time parties to this Agreement, and The Bank of Nova Scotia, Houston Branch, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”).
The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Article 1    DEFINITIONS
Section 1.1    Defined Terms.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“ABR”:  for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1⁄2 of 1% and (c) the Eurodollar Rate for a one month Interest Period that begins on such day (and if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1% provided that, the Eurodollar Rate for any day shall be based on the Eurodollar Rate at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day, subject to the interest rate floor set forth therein.  “Prime Rate” shall mean, for the purposes of this definition only, the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the Prime Rate not being intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with extensions of credit to debtors).  Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or Eurodollar Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or Eurodollar Rate, respectively.
“Acquisition Period”: the period beginning with the date on which payment of the purchase price for a Specified Acquisition is made and ending on the earlier of (a) the last day of the second full fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter in which such payment is made, and (b) the date on which the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that it desires to end the Acquisition Period for such Specified Acquisition; provided that once any Acquisition Period is in effect, the next Acquisition Period may not commence until the termination of such Acquisition Period then in effect. As used above, “Specified Acquisition” means any one or more transactions (i) pursuant to which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary acquires, for an aggregate purchase price of not less than $50,000,000, Equity Interests or other property or assets (other than acquisitions of Equity Interests of a Person, capital expenditures and acquisitions of inventory or supplies, in each case, in the ordinary course of business) of, or of an operating division or business unit of, any other Person, and (ii) which is designated by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent) as a “Specified Acquisition”.
“Administrative Questionnaire”:  an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.
“Affected Financial Institution”: (a) any EEA Financial Institution or (b) any UK Financial Institution. 
“Affiliate”:  with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified.










“Agreement”:  this Credit Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
“Anti-Corruption Laws”: all laws, rules, and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption.
“Applicable Margin”: 0.875% per annum for all Loans during the term of this Credit Agreement.  
“Assignment and Assumption”:  an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D.
“Authorized Officer”: a duly authorized officer of a Loan Party or the General Partner acting on behalf of such Loan Party.
“Available Tenor”: as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (f) of Section 2.10.
“Bail-In Action”: the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority in respect of any liability of an Affected Financial Institution.
“Bail-In Legislation”: (a) with respect to any EEA Member Country implementing Article 55 of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, the implementing law, regulation, rule or requirement for such EEA Member Country from time to time which is described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule and (b) with respect to the United Kingdom,  Part I of the United Kingdom Banking Act 2009 (as amended from time to time) and any other law, regulation or rule applicable in the United Kingdom relating to the resolution of unsound or failing banks, investment firms or other financial institutions or their affiliates (other than through liquidation, administration or other insolvency proceedings).
“Benchmark”: initially, Eurodollar Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Eurodollar Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (b) or clause (c) of Section 2.10.
“Benchmark Replacement”: for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date: 
(1)    the sum of (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; 
(2)    the sum of (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; 
(3)     the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) 
2








any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event, and the delivery of a Term SOFR Notice, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date the “Benchmark Replacement” shall revert to and shall be deemed to be the sum of (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, as set forth in clause (1) of this definition (subject to the first proviso above).
If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment”: with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:
(1)    for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent: 
(a)    the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;
(b)    the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and 
(2)    for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities; 
(3)    provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes”: with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “ABR,” the 
3








definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).
“Benchmark Replacement Date”: the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then current Benchmark:
(1)    in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); 
(2)    in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; 
(3)    in the case of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the date that is thirty (30) days after the date a Term SOFR Notice is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(d); or 
(4)    in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. 
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Transition Event”: the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1)    a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
4








(2)    a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of  such Benchmark (or the  published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the NYFRB, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(3)    a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof)  announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative.
For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Unavailability Period”: the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.10 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.10.

The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.8.
(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender in which there shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d)    The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.2(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall 
28








not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)    The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each, a “Note”) with appropriate insertions as to principal amount.
Section 2.3    Procedure for Borrowing.
(a)    The Borrower may borrow under the Commitments on the Closing Date; provided that  the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request, which Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, (i) prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Closing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested Closing Date, in the case of Reference Rate Loans, specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed, (B) the Closing Date, (C) whether the borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Loan a Reference Rate Loan or a combination thereof and (D) the length of the Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan included in such Borrowing Request.  
(b)    Upon receipt of such Borrowing Request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof (but in any event no later than (i) the date of receipt of such Borrowing Request from the Borrower, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) 1:30 P.M., New York City time on the Closing Date in the case of Reference Rate Loans).  Each Lender will make the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 9.2 prior to (1) 2:00 P.M., New York City time, in the case of Reference Rate Loans, and (2) 12:00 noon, New York City time, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, in each case on the Closing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent in Dollars. The proceeds of all such Loans will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent, or such other account of the Borrower as shall have been designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent within one (1) hour of receipt by the Administrative Agent.
(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of any borrowing of Reference Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Closing Date) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent the amount which would constitute its Commitment Percentage of the Loans, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loans. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as promptly as practicable if such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loans is not made available to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after the Closing Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate during such period as quoted by the Administrative Agent, times (ii) the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loans (minus the amount, if any, which such Lender has made available to the Administrative Agent), times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including the Closing Date to the date on which such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loans shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts 
29








owing under this Section 2.3(c) shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information set forth therein, absent manifest error.  If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loans is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loans (minus the amount, if any, which such Lender had made available to the Administrative Agent) on demand from the Borrower with interest thereon (A) for the period from and including the Closing Date to the date one day after such demand, at a rate per annum equal to the daily average overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate during such period as quoted by the Administrative Agent and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed and (B) thereafter, at the rate per annum applicable to Reference Rate Loans hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.3(c) shall prejudice in any manner whatsoever any right or remedy of the Borrower against such Lender.
Section 2.4    Prepayments.
(a)    The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ (or such shorter notice period as may be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and on the date of such prepayment in the case of Reference Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, Reference Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, and if of a combination thereof, the amount of prepayment allocable to each. Each such prepayment shall be (i) in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Reference Rate Loans.  Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.  If such notice is given, the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Reference Rate Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15.
(b)    Optional prepayments of the Loans shall be allocated among the Lenders based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment amount.
Section 2.5    Conversion and Continuation Options.
(a)    The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert its Eurodollar Loans to Reference Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election by 11:00 A.M. on a Business Day; provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert its Reference Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election.  Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall specify the length of the Interest Periods therefor.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.  All or any part of the outstanding Eurodollar Loans and Reference Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that no Loans may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, notifies the Borrower such conversions shall not be permitted, (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.6 would be contravened, or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date; provided further, that if such conversion is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso and the applicable Eurodollar Loan is not repaid, such Loans shall automatically be converted to Reference Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.
30








(b)    Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the appropriate notification provisions therefor set forth in Section 2.5(a), of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions, (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.6 would be contravened, or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date; provided further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this Section 2.5 or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall automatically be converted to Reference Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.
(c)    The conversion or continuation of Loans as herein provided shall not constitute the making of new Loans hereunder.
Section 2.6    Maximum Number of Tranches.  All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, there shall be no more than one Tranche outstanding at any one time.
Section 2.7    Fees.
(a)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees, including an administrative agent’s fee, set forth in the Fee Letter.
(b)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,  for the account of each Lender, the upfront fees set forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.8    Interest Rate.
(a)    Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for the Interest Period applicable thereto on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)    Each Reference Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin.
(c)    If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall, without limiting the rights of any Lender under Article 7, bear interest at a rate per annum which is (i) in the case of overdue principal, 2% above the rate which would otherwise be applicable pursuant to Section 2.8(a), (b) or (c) and (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2% above the rate described in Section 2.8(b), in each case from the date of nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (before and after judgment); provided that if such overdue principal amount is of Eurodollar Loans and the due date therefor is other than the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, such Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest from the date that such principal amount was due to the last day of such Interest Period at a rate per annum which is 2% above the rate which would otherwise be applicable pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.8.
(d)    Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.8 shall be payable from time to time on demand.
Section 2.9    Computation of Interest and Fees.
31








(a)    Interest in respect of the Reference Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (or 366, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.  Interest in respect of Eurodollar Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate.  Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Reference Rate, the ABR, or the Applicable Margin shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the ABR, or Reference Rate is announced or such Applicable Margin changes as provided herein, as the case may be.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change.
(b)    Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall, upon the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.8(a).
Section 2.10    Alternate Rate of Interest; Effect of Benchmark Transition Event; Illegality.
(a)    Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.10, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period:
(i)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate or because the Eurodollar Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or 
(ii)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as provided in Section 9.2 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any interest election request that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective and any such Eurodollar Loan shall be repaid or converted into an Reference Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall be made as a Reference Rate Loan.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent 
32








of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then current Benchmark, for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. 
(d)    In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(e)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.10, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.10.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or Eurodollar Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(g)    Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Loan of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a 
33








Loan of or conversion to Reference Rate Loans.  During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. 
(h)    Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make such Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (the “Affected Loans”) until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (b) all Affected Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as Reference Rate Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, all Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into Reference Rate Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made as (or converted into) Reference Rate Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its Reference Rate Loans.
Section 2.11    Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.
(a)    The borrowing of Loans by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and each payment by the Borrower on account of any fee payable hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders.  Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders.
(b)    All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Documents, whether on account of principal, interest and fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s office set forth in Section 9.2, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds.  Any amounts received after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for the purposes of calculating interest thereon.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each Lender to its Eurodollar Office or Domestic Office, as applicable, promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(c)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
34








Section 2.12    Payments by the Borrower.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective Pro Rata Shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, and each Lender severally agrees to repay forthwith on demand, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate during such period as quoted by the Administrative Agent and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.
Section 2.13    Other Costs; Increased Costs.
(a)    The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender which requests compensation under this Section 2.13 (by notice to the Borrower), on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan made or maintained by such Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or, so long as such Lender may be required by such Board of Governors or by any other Governmental Authority to maintain reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes any Eurodollar Loans), an additional amount (determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower) representing such Lender’s calculation or, if an accurate calculation is impracticable, reasonable estimate (using such reasonable means of allocation as such Lender shall determine) of the actual costs, if any, incurred by such Lender during such Interest Period as a result of the applicability of the foregoing reserves to such Eurodollar Loans, which amount in any event shall not exceed the product of the following for each day of such Interest Period:
(i)    the principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans made or maintained by such Lender to which such Interest Period relates outstanding on such day; and
(ii)    the difference between (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Eurodollar Rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Eurodollar Loan and the denominator of which is one minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed by such Board of Governors or other Governmental Authority on such date minus (y) such numerator; and
(iii)    a fraction the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is 360.
(b)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;
(ii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender; or
35








(iii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon the request of such Lender, or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(c)    If any Lender determines in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such Lender is generally seeking compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements.
(d)    A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (b) or (c) of this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(e)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.14    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes.  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 Law.  If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 
36








2.14) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, the payment of Other Taxes.
(c)    Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d)    Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after 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 2.14) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify a Recipient pursuant to this Section 2.14(d) for any Indemnified Taxes unless such Recipient makes written demand on the Borrower for indemnification for such Indemnified Taxes no later than 120 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon such Recipient for payment of such Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) the date on which such Recipient has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)    Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (e).
(f)    Status of Lenders.
(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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower 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, if reasonably requested by 
37








the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of any such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) 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 the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an executed copy 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    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, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN 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;
(2)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)    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 G-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 Borrower 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) an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN; or
(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate 
38








substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 or Exhibit G-4, 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 G-2 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies 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 Borrower 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This Section 2.14 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make 
39








available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(i)    For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
Section 2.15    Indemnity.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:
(a)    failure by the Borrower to make a payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loans of such Lender;
(b)    failure by the Borrower to borrow Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a Borrowing Request requesting the same in accordance with Section 2.3;
(c)    failure by the Borrower to make a conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with Section 2.5;
(d)    failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given notice of the same in accordance with Section 2.4(a);
(e)    the making of any conversion or prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; and
(f)    any assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17;
including in each case any such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained and any foreign exchange losses actually incurred.  If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall promptly notify the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such claim, submitted by such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
Section 2.16    Mitigation Obligations.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees 
40








to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Section 2.17    Replacement of Lenders.  If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, (b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender fails to execute and deliver any amendment, consent or waiver to any Loan Document requested by the Borrower by the date specified by the Borrower (or gives the Borrower or the Administrative Agent written notice prior to such date of its intention not to do so), which amendment, consent or waiver is required to be executed by all Lenders or all affected Lenders, or (d) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall give 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such 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 the assignee or the Borrower, as applicable, (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender failing to execute and deliver any amendment, consent or waiver requested by the Borrower, the applicable amendment, consent or waiver has been approved by the Required Lenders, and (v) if the assignee is not another Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have received a registration and processing fee of $3,500.
Section 2.18    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    Payments to Defaulting Lenders.   If a Defaulting Lender as a result of the exercise of a set off shall have received a payment in respect of its outstanding Loans which results in its pro rata share of the outstanding Loans being less than such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of the aggregate amount of the Commitments, then no payment will be made to such Defaulting Lender until all amounts due and owing to the Lenders have been equalized in accordance with each Lender’s respective pro rata share of the sum of the aggregate amount of the Commitments.  Further, if at any time prior to the acceleration or maturity of the Loans, the Administrative Agent shall receive any payment in respect of principal of a Loan while one or more Defaulting Lenders shall be party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall apply such payment first to the Loan(s) for which such Defaulting Lender(s) shall have failed to fund its pro rata share until such time as such Loans(s) are paid in full or each Lender (including each Defaulting Lender) is owed its pro rata share of all Loans then outstanding.
(b)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)    Voting.  The principal amount of the Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.1), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification (i) that would reduce the principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or (ii) requiring the consent of all Lenders 
41








which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than all other Lenders, as the case may be, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
(ii)    Defaulting Lender Cure.  In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall no longer constitute a Defaulting Lender hereunder; provided 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.
Article 3    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Article 8    THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 8.1    Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent 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, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article 8 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions (except for the Borrower with respect to its consent right set forth in Section 8.7).  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.
Section 8.2    Rights as a Lender.  The bank 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 such bank 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 Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Section 8.3    Exculpatory Provisions.
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(i)    the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, covenants, functions, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
(ii)    the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary 
56








under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.1) 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
(iii)    except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it 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 Section 9.1) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.
(c)    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, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
(d)    Payment in Error.  If a payment is made by the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliates) to a Lender in error (whether known to the recipient or not) or if a Lender is not otherwise entitled to receive such funds under the provisions of this Agreement at such time, in such amount or from the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliates) (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), then such Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such payment that was made in error (or otherwise not intended to be received) (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliate) to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliate) in immediately available funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no Lender shall assert any right or claim to any payment that the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, determines was made in error, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any such payment received, including, without limitation,  a waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
Section 8.4    Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Article 7(a)) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice or any notice pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to 
57








the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
Section 8.5    Reliance by the 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent 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 be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 8.6    Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of 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.
Section 8.7    Resignation of Administrative Agent.  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required during the continuation of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 8 and Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 8.8    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent by Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and not investments in a business enterprise or securities.  Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder.  Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and 
58








information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.
Section 8.9    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 shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) 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 and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.7, and Section 9.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender 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, 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 Section 2.7 and Section 9.5.
Section 8.10    Guaranty Matters.  The Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from its obligations as a Guarantor under this Agreement pursuant to a written request made by the Borrower, if (a) such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower or a Material Subsidiary of the Borrower that is a First Tier Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under this Agreement or (b) such Guarantor is an Elective Guarantor at the time of such release.  Any such request shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower certifying (which certification shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower hereunder) that (i) no Event of Default then exists or will exist after giving effect to such release, (ii) after giving pro forma effect to any such release, the Borrower is in compliance with Section 6.1(t)., and (iii) the conditions for release set forth in this Section 8.10 have been satisfied. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.
Section 8.11    No Duties.  None of the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than the duties, responsibilities and liabilities assigned to such entities in their capacities as Lenders or Administrative Agent hereunder.

Article 9    MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1    Amendments and Waivers.  Subject to Section 2.11(b), Section 2.11(c), and (d), neither this Agreement, nor any Note, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1.  With the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or thereunder or waiving, on such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (a) extend the time of payment or maturity of any Loan or any installment thereof or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any fee payable to the Lenders hereunder, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the consent of the Lender affected thereby, (b) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of the Lenders under this Section 9.1 or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (except in a transaction permitted by and consummated in accordance with clause (ii) of Section 6.2), in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders, (c) waive any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.1 without the consent of all Lenders, (d) change Section 2.11 in a manner that would alter the pro rata treatment of Lenders or pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of all Lenders, (e) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article 8 without the written consent of the then Administrative Agent, (f) release the Initial Guarantor or release of all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees without the written consent of all the Lenders (provided that no such consent shall be required in connection with any release authorized by the Lenders under Section 8.10), (g) amend or modify the definition of Pro Rata Share, or (h) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article 10 without the written consent of each Guarantor.  Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans.  In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except as set forth in Section 2.18(a).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct any obvious errors, mistakes, omissions, defects or inconsistencies and such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document other than the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

61








given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.
Section 9.3    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any 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 are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.
Section 9.4    Confidentiality.  Each Lender shall maintain in confidence and not disclose to any Person any non-public information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement and designated by the Borrower as such (“Confidential Information”) without the prior consent of the Borrower, subject to each Lender’s (a) obligation to disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to a request or order under applicable Laws and regulations or pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process, (b) right to disclose any Confidential Information requested by any regulatory authority, (c) right to disclose any Confidential Information to other Lenders, to bank examiners, to its Affiliates, to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including auditors, counsel and other advisors, to any Participant or prospective Participant and to any prospective Purchasing Lender pursuant to Section 9.6(c) (subject to, in the case of prospective Participants and prospective Purchasing Lenders, the signing of a confidentiality agreement), (d) right to disclose any Confidential Information in connection with any litigation or dispute or the exercise of any remedy hereunder involving the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (e) right to disclose any Confidential Information on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or this Agreement or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to this Agreement, or (f) right to disclose any Confidential Information to any creditor or direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder or such creditor or contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.4); provided, however, that Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to clause (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this sentence shall be so disclosed subject to such procedures as are reasonably calculated to maintain the confidentiality thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.4, (i) the foregoing obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to any Confidential Information that was known to such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates prior to the time it received such Confidential Information from the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, other than as a result of the disclosure thereof by a Person who, to the knowledge or reasonable belief of such Lender, was prohibited from disclosing it by any duty of confidentiality arising (under this Agreement or otherwise) by contract or law, and (ii) the foregoing obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to any Confidential Information that becomes part of the public domain independently of any act of such Lender not permitted hereunder or when identical or substantially similar information is received by such Lender, without restriction as to its disclosure or use, from a Person who was not prohibited from disclosing it by any duty of confidentiality arising (under this Agreement or otherwise) by contract or law.  The obligations of each Lender under this Section 9.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 9.5    Expenses; Indemnity.
(a)    The Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers for all their out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution and, with respect to the Administrative Agent only, administration, of this Agreement and any other Loan Document and any other documents prepared in connection herewith, 
62








and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, but excluding all other legal fees and disbursements, (ii) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection with any amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and any other documents prepared in connection herewith, including the reasonable legal fees and disbursements of a single law firm serving as counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, but excluding all other legal fees and disbursements, and (iii) to pay or reimburse all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent and any such Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section 9.5, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.
(b)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c)    To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such Joint Lead Arranger, 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) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Joint Lead Arranger in its capacity as such.
(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 9.5(d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.
(e)    All amounts due under this Section 9.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor.
63








(f)    The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 9.6    Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders.
(a)    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, other than in connection with an assignment or transfer otherwise permitted hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender.
(b)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, or any other interests of such Lender hereunder.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loan for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso in the second sentence of Section 9.1 that affects such Participant. Without affecting the limitations in the preceding sentence, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13, Section 2.14 and Section 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) with respect to its participation in the Loans outstanding from time to time; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 and Section 2.17 as if it were a Lender, and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.16 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.7(a) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such loan 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.
64








(c)    Each Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower (except that such consent shall not be required during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default or in the case of any assignment to an existing Lender or an Affiliate thereof, during the occurrence and continuation of a Default), the Administrative Agent (except that such consent shall not be required for any assignment to an existing Lender or an Affiliate thereof and which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) sell or assign to one or more Lenders or additional banks, financial institutions or other entities (other than the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or 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 “Purchasing Lender”) (other than a Purchasing Lender that is a Defaulting Lender or that would be a Defaulting Lender upon becoming a Lender hereunder) all or part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to a duly executed Assignment and Assumption; provided that, if such sale is not to one or more existing Lenders or an Affiliate thereof, such sale shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent, and for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, otherwise consents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may sell to one or more Lenders or Purchasing Lenders designated by the Borrower all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption as described in the preceding sentence in connection with a purchase thereof effected pursuant to Section 2.17.  Upon (A) the execution of such Assignment and Assumption, (B) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Borrower, (C) recordation of such transfer in the Register and (D) payment by such Purchasing Lender to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 if such Purchasing Lender is not a Lender prior to the execution of such Assignment and Assumption and $2,000 otherwise (provided that the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may elect to waive such fee) and (E) payment to the Administrative Agent of any additional amounts required by Section 9.6(f), from and after the Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, such Purchasing Lender shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption executed pursuant to Section 2.17 or any other assignment permitted hereunder of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto, but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 9.5, in each case with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Such Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of any Purchasing Lender that was not a Lender prior to the execution of such Assignment and Assumption and the resulting adjustment of the Pro Rata Shares arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement.  Upon the consummation of any transfer to a Purchasing Lender pursuant to this Section 9.6(c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, a replacement Note is issued to such transferor Lender and a new Note or, as appropriate, a replacement Note, is issued to such Purchasing Lender, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Loans.  Such new Notes shall be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby.
(d)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain, acting solely for this purpose as agent for the Borrower at its address referred to in Section 9.2, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)    Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by a transferor Lender, a Purchasing Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, unless waived by the Administrative 
65








Agent pursuant to Section 9.6(c), payment by the Purchasing Lender to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 if such Purchasing Lender is not a Lender prior to the execution of such Assignment and Assumption and $2,000 otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) on the Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower.
(f)    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 Borrower 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 and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans in accordance with its Commitment 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 Section, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(g)    The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information (other than Confidential Information except as permitted by Section 9.4) in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower, which has been delivered to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement.
(h)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section 9.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(i)    The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in Section 9.6(h) above.
Section 9.7    Adjustments; Set-off.
(a)    If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in clause (f) of Article 7, or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, to the extent necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided, however, that (i) if any such participations are 
66








purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 9.7 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 9.7 shall apply).  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default each Lender and each of its respective Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to any Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by such Loan Party to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and appropriate and apply against the obligations under this Agreement any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off hereunder, (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 2.18 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 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 set-off.  The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.7 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Loan Party and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 9.8    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission, emailed pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

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.

Section 10.2    Waiver of Subrogation.  Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by a Guarantor hereunder, or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, such Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against the Borrower or against any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek any reimbursement from the Borrower in respect of payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower are paid in full.

Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower, such Guarantor or any other Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.  This Subsidiary Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to, and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any defenses to its obligations hereunder based upon (a) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Note, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Guaranteed Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, (c) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (d) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of any Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.  When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security, or guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the Guarantor

(a) The payment of any amounts owing in respect of the Subordinated Debt shall be subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the following (the “Senior Obligations”): (i) all Obligations as defined in Credit Agreement dated as of [___], 2021 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Phillips 66 Partners LP (the “Borrower”), Phillips 66 Partners Holdings LLC (the “Initial Guarantor”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and The Bank of Nova Scotia, Houston Branch, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, including any successors thereto, the “Administrative Agent”), (ii) all obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee contained in (and as defined in) the Credit Agreement, made by the Initial Guarantor in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (iii) all obligations under any other guaranty made by any Subsidiary (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (the makers of any such guaranty, together with the Initial Guarantor, collectively, the “Guarantors” and together with the Borrower, collectively, the “Subordinated Obligors” and each, a “Subordinated Obligor”), as each such agreement or guaranty described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) may be amended, renewed, extended, increased, substituted, refinanced, restructured, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, and in each case including interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such Proceeding.
As used in this Subordination Agreement, the term “Proceeding” means any of the following in respect of a Subordinated Obligor or its assets or property: insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, any receivership, reorganization or other similar proceedings, any distribution of assets, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a marshalling of assets and liabilities, or proceedings for voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of a Subordinated Obligor, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy.  In the event of a Proceeding, then
(i)    the holders of the Senior Obligations shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all Senior Obligations before Payee shall receive any payment or distribution on account of Subordinated Debt, and
(ii)    any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets of, a Subordinated Obligor of any kind or character on account of the Subordinated Debt, whether in cash, securities, property or otherwise, to which Payee would be entitled except for the provisions of this

Schedule II – Page 1








Subordination Agreement shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian, liquidating trustee or any other Person) directly to the holders of the Senior Obligations or the Administrative Agent acting on their behalf, payable in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, until the payment in full of all Senior Obligations.
(b)    
(i)    [Reserved].
(ii)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement, Payee agrees not to ask, demand, sue for or take or receive from any Subordinated Obligor in cash, securities, property or otherwise, or by set-off, purchase, redemption (including from or by way of collateral) or otherwise, payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, until payment in full of all Senior Obligations.
Payee agrees that no payment or distribution to holders of Senior Obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Subordination Agreement shall entitle Payee to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof, all of which are expressly waived herein, until the Senior Obligations have been paid in full.
Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Subordinated Obligor shall give, or permit to be given and Payee shall not receive, accept or demand, any lien to secure any Subordinated Obligations, on any cash, securities, property or other assets, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, of any Subordinated Obligor.
Section 2.    Waivers and Consents.
Payee waives (i) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to the Senior Obligations and this Subordination Agreement and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right or take any action against any Subordinated Obligor or any other Person or any of their respective assets.
All rights and interests of the holders of Senior Obligations hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of Payee and Subordinated Obligors under this Subordination Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document as therein defined, or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to or departure from the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any increase in the Senior Obligations or extension of the maturity thereof; (iii) any holder of Senior Obligations releasing any Subordinated Obligor from all or any part of the Senior Obligations by  operation of law or otherwise, (iv) any enforcement or failure to enforce, or any delay in enforcing, any Loan Document; or (v) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Subordinated Obligor or Payee or third party guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Senior Obligations.
No present or future holder of Senior Obligations shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce subordination of Payee by any act or failure to act on the part of any Subordinated Obligor whether or not such act or failure shall give rise to any right of rescission or other claim or cause of action on the part of Payee.
Schedule II – Page 2








Section 3.    Reinstatement.  This Subordination Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any Senior Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Obligations in connection with any Proceeding, all as though such payment had not been made.
Section 4.    Termination.  This Subordination Agreement shall in all respects be a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (a) the payment in full of the Senior Obligations and (b) the payment in full in cash of the Subordinated Debt.  Upon such payment in full, this Subordination Agreement shall terminate (subject to Section 3); provided that the parties hereto agree to each execute such instruments as may be reasonably requested by any other party hereto to further evidence such termination.
Section 5.    Amendments, Etc.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Subordination Agreement nor consent to any departure by Payee or any Subordinated Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Section 6.    Rights of Payee.  The provisions of the foregoing paragraphs with respect to subordination are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior Obligations on the one hand, and Payee on the other hand, and none of such provisions shall impair, as between any Subordinated Obligor and Payee, the obligation of such Subordinated Obligor, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to Payee the principal and interest under the Subordinated Debt in accordance with its terms, nor shall anything in such provisions prevent Payee from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or hereunder upon default hereunder, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Obligations under such provisions.
Section 7.    Third-Party Beneficiaries.  The holders of Senior Obligations are entitled to the benefits of the foregoing subordination provisions and are third-party beneficiaries thereof.
Section 8.    Governing Law.  THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
