Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the applicable Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) the currency of the Committed Loans to be borrowed.  If any Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Committed Loans so requested shall be made in US Dollars.  If any Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if such Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, (x) in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, Canadian Prime Rate Loans or (y) in the case of Loans denominated in a currency other than Canadian Dollars, Base Rate Loans in an amount being the Dollar Equivalent of such Loans; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency other than Canadian Dollars, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  If the applicable Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be

deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  No Committed Loan may be converted into or continued as a Committed Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.


 


(b)           Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each appropriate Lender of the contents thereof and the amount (and currency) of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each appropriate Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Committed Loans denominated in a currency other than US Dollars, in each case as described in the preceding subsection.  In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Tranche A Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent, and each Tranche B Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Canadian Sub-Agent, in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency or the office of the Canadian Sub-Agent located in Montreal, Canada, as the case may be, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified, in the case of any Committed Loan denominated in US Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Committed Loan in an Alternative Currency, in the applicable Committed Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as the case may be, shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of BNP Paribas with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent by such Borrower.


 


(c)           Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan.  During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether in US Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent of the applicable Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into US Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.


 


(d)           The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the appropriate Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower and the appropriate Lenders of any change in BNP Paribas’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.  At any time that Canadian Prime Rate Loans are outstanding, the Canadian Sub-Agent shall notify TCCI and the Tranche B Lenders of any change in the Canadian Prime Rate promptly following the public announcement of a change in a Canadian Reference Bank’s “prime rate” by any Canadian Reference Bank.

(e)           After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than fifteen (15) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.

The Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the applicable Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section.


 


(b)           When any Tranche A Borrower wishes to request offers to make Money Market Loans under this Section, it shall transmit to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission a Money Market Quote Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer or any other Person designated in writing by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, so as to be received no later than 9:00 a.m. on (x) the fourth Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the Business Day next preceding the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as such Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Lenders not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective) specifying: (i) the proposed date of Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, (ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, which shall be US$50,000,000 or a larger multiple of US$5,000,000 (provided that, in the case of TMFNL, the aggregate amount of such Borrowing shall not be less than the Dollar Equivalent of EUR100,000 or any other amount as at any time set forth in the definition of “professional market party” under or pursuant to the Netherlands Financial Supervision Act (wet op het financieel toezicht)), (iii) the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period, and (iv) whether the Money Market Quotes requested are to set forth a Money Market Margin or a Money Market Absolute Rate.

No Money Market Quote Request shall be given within five Business Days (or such other number of days as such Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree) of any other Money Market Quote Request.


 


(c)           Promptly upon receipt of a Money Market Quote Request, the Administrative Agent shall send to the appropriate Lenders by facsimile transmission an Invitation for Money Market Quotes, which shall constitute an invitation by the applicable Tranche A Borrower to each Lender to submit Money Market Quotes offering to make the Money Market Loans to which such Money Market Quote Request relates in accordance with this Section.

Each Money Market Quote must comply with the requirements of this subsection (d) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than (x) 1:00 p.m. on the fourth Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) 9:00 a.m. on the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as such Tranche A Borrower, and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Lenders not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective); provided that Money Market Quotes submitted by the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent) in the capacity of a Lender may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate notifies such Borrower of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein not later than 15 minutes prior to the deadline for the other Lenders.  Subject to Articles IV and VII, any Money Market Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of such Tranche A Borrower.


 


(ii)           Each Money Market Quote shall specify (A) the proposed date of Borrowing; (B) the principal amount of the Money Market Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (w) may be greater than or less than the Commitment of the quoting Lender, (x) must be US$5,000,000 or a larger multiple of US$l,000,000, (y) may not exceed the principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers were requested and (z) may be subject to an aggregate limitation as to the principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers being made by such quoting Lender may be accepted; (C) in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the margin above or below the applicable Eurocurrency Rate (the “Money Market Margin”) offered for each such Money Market Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such base rate; (D) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) (the “Money Market Absolute Rate”) offered for each such Money Market Loan; and (E) the identity of the quoting Lender.  A Money Market Quote may set forth up to five separate offers by the quoting Lender with respect to each Interest Period specified in the related Invitation for Money Market Quotes.


 


(iii)           Any Money Market Quote shall be disregarded if it (A) is not substantially in conformity with the definition thereof or does not specify all of the information required by subsection (d)(ii); (B) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language; (C) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Money Market Quotes; or (D) arrives after the time set forth in subsection (d)(i).


 


(e)           The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Tranche A Borrower of the terms (i) of any Money Market Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with subsection (d) and (ii) of any Money Market Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Money Market Quote submitted by such Lender with 


 




  





32











  






 


respect to the same Money Market Quote Request.  Any such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Money Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Money Market Quote.  The Administrative Agent’s notice to the applicable Borrower shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Money Market Quote Request, (ii) the respective principal amounts and Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered and (iii) if applicable, limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers in any single Money Market Quote may be accepted.


 


(f)           Not later than 10:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing of Money Market LIBOR Loans or 9:00 a.m. on the Business Day of the proposed date of Borrowing of Money Market Absolute Rate Loans (or such other time or date as the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Lenders not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective), the applicable Tranche A Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to subsection (e).  In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Notice of Money Market Borrowing”) shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted.  The applicable Borrower may accept any Money Market Quote in whole or in part; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Money Market Quote Request; (ii) the principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing must be US$50,000,000 or a larger multiple of US$5,000,000 (provided that, in the case of TMFNL, the aggregate amount of such Borrowing shall not be less than the Dollar Equivalent of EUR 100,000 or any other amount as at any time set forth in the definition of “professional market party” under or pursuant to the Netherlands Financial Supervision Act (wet op het financieel toezicht)); and (iii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be.


 


(g)           If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in multiples of US$1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers.  Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Money Market Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the applicable Commitment of each appropriate Lender according to its Pro Rata Share.  All facility fees accrued for the account of the applicable Borrower until the effective date of any termination of the applicable Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.


 


(b)           Non-Ratable Reduction.  The Tranche A Borrowers or TCCI shall have the right, at any time, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to a Defaulting Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to terminate in whole such Defaulting Lender’s Tranche A Commitments or Tranche B Commitments, respectively.  Such termination shall be effective, (x) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s unused Tranche A Commitments or Tranche B Commitments, as applicable, on the date set forth in such notice, provided, however, that such

date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after receipt of such notice and (y) with respect to each Tranche A Loan or Tranche B Loan outstanding to such Defaulting Lender, if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, on the date set forth in such notice and, if such Loan is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, a Money Market LIBOR Loan or a Money Market Absolute Rate Loan, on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating to such Loan.  Upon termination of a Lender’s Commitment under this Section 2.5(b), the Tranche A Borrowers or TCCI, as applicable, will pay or cause to be paid all principal of, and interest accrued to the date of such payment on, Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans, as applicable, owing to such Defaulting Lender and pay any accrued facility fee payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.8(a), and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (including, but not limited to, any increased costs or other amounts owing under Section 3.4 and any indemnification for Taxes under Section 3.1); and upon such payments, the obligations of such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged; provided, however, that (i) such Defaulting Lender’s rights under Sections 3.1, 3.4, 9.4 and 9.5, and its obligations under Section 8.7 shall survive such release and discharge as to matters occurring prior to such date; and (ii) no claim that the Tranche A Borrowers or TCCI may have against such Defaulting Lender arising out of such Defaulting Lender’s default hereunder shall be released or impaired in any way.  Subject to Section 2.14, the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders once reduced pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) may not be reinstated; provided further, however, that if pursuant to this Section 2.5(b), the Tranche A Borrowers or TCCI, as applicable, pay or cause to be paid to a Defaulting Lender any principal of, or interest accrued on, the Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans owing to such Defaulting Lender, then the Tranche A Borrowers or TCCI, as applicable, shall pay or cause to be paid a ratable payment of principal and interest to all Tranche A Lenders or Tranche B Lenders, as applicable, who are not Defaulting Lenders.

Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable on demand.


 


(c)           Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.

(a)           Facility Fee.  TMCC, for the account of the Borrowers, shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Applicable Tranche Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a facility fee in US Dollars equal to the Applicable Percentage times the actual daily amount of the Aggregate Commitments of such Applicable Tranche Lenders, regardless of usage (or, if the Aggregate Commitments of such Applicable Tranche Lenders have terminated, on the Outstanding Amount of all Loans and Swing Line Loans of such Applicable Tranche Lender made to the applicable Borrower(s)), which fee shall accrue at all times during the Tranche A Availability Period of such Lender or the Tranche B Availability Period of such Lender, as applicable (and thereafter so long as any Loans or Swing Line Loans of such Applicable Tranche Lenders made to any Applicable Borrower remain outstanding), including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met; provided that no such fee shall be paid on the unused Tranche A Commitments or unused Tranche B Commitments of any Applicable Tranche Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.  Facility fees shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and are due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Maturity Date of such 


 




  





37











  






 


Applicable Tranche Lender (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).  Notwithstanding the above, the facility fees payable to each Lender shall be calculated with respect to such Lender’s Commitment Cap, such that in no event shall the aggregate amount of the facility fees paid to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) exceed the facility fees that would have been payable to such Lender if the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Commitments were equal to the amount of its Commitment Cap.


 


(b)           Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters, if any.

Section 2.9 Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations (a) of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by BNP Paribas’s United States “prime rate” and (b) of interest for Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All computations of Drawing Fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the term to maturity of the applicable Draft.  All computations of a Drawing Purchase Price shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, and the term to maturity of the applicable Draft.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day.


 


Section 2.10 Evidence of Debt.  The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to each Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Borrower under the Loan Documents to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations of such Borrower.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.


 


Section 2.11 Payments Generally.


 




  





38











  






 


(a)           All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s (or in the case of Tranche B Lenders, the Canadian Sub-Agent’s) Office in US Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (or in the case of the Tranche B Lenders, not later than 12:00 p.m.) on the date specified herein.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent (or in the case of TCCI, the Canadian Sub-Agent), for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office or Canadian Sub-Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by (i) the Tranche A Borrowers shall be made to the Administrative Agent and (ii) TCCI shall be made to the Canadian Sub-Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that (x) any payment by any Borrower due under this Agreement, other than any payment to be made in respect of the Tranche B Facility, be made in the United States and (y) any payments to be made by TCCI in respect of the Tranche B Facility be made in Canada.  If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in US Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount.  The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as the case may be, will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in US Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.


 


(b)           If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.  Whenever any payment hereunder in respect of Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts or BA Equivalent Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Canadian Business Day such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Canadian Business Day.


 


(c)           Unless a Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as the case may be, prior to the time any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent hereunder, that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent may assume that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto.  If and to the extent that such 


 




  





39











  






 


payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent in Same Day Funds, then:


 


(i)           if a Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as the case may be, the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day 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 the Canadian Sub-Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent or Canadian Sub-Agent in Same Day Funds at the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and


 


(ii)           if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as the case may be, the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent to the applicable Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing.  If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s or the Canadian Sub-Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent may make a demand therefor upon the applicable Borrower, and such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Sub-Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.


 


A notice of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as the case may be, to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.


 


(d)           If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as the case may be, funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest, on the succeeding Business Day.


 


(e)           The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans and to fund participations in Swing Line Loans are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan or to fund participations in Swing Line Loans on any date required 


 




  





40











  






 


hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan or to fund participations in Swing Line Loans.


 


(f)           Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.


 


(g)           For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure under such act, whenever any interest or fees to be paid by TCCI under this Agreement is to be calculated on the basis of a period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is the rate so determined multiplied by the number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the actual number of days in such period of time.


 


(h)           Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) payable by TCCI under this Agreement exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that section) under this Agreement lawfully permitted by that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in that section) payable by TCCI is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of TCCI, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to TCCI.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent will be prima facie evidence of such rate.


 


Section 2.12 Sharing of Payments.  If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Committed Loans made by it to a Borrower, or the participations in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as the case may be, of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lenders) such participations in the Committed Loans and subparticipations in Swing Line Loans and Swing Line Loans made by them to such Borrower as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Committed Loans and Swing Line Loans pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.6 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon.  Each Borrower 


 




  





41











  






 


agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation or subparticipation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including any right of set-off, but subject to Section 9.9) with respect to such participation or subparticipation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation or subparticipation.  The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as the case may be, will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations or subparticipation purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.  Each Lender that purchases a participation or subparticipation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.


 


Section 2.13 Extension of Revolving Maturity Date.


 


(a)           Not earlier than 60 days prior to, nor later than 30 days prior to, any anniversary of the Closing Date (an “Extension Date”), the Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the appropriate Lenders), request an extension of the Revolving Maturity Date then in effect for a period of one year.  Within 20 days of delivery of such notice, each appropriate Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent whether or not it consents to such extension (which consent may be given or withheld in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion).  Any Lender not responding within the above time period shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the appropriate Lenders of the Lenders’ responses not less than 24 days after receipt of notice of such extension request.  If any Lender declines, or is deemed to have declined, to consent to such extension, the applicable Borrower may, at its own expense, cause any such Lender to be replaced as a Lender pursuant to Section 9.16.


 


(b)           The Revolving Maturity Date shall be extended only if Lenders holding at least 51% of all outstanding Commitments (after giving effect to any replacements of Lenders permitted herein) (the “Consenting Lenders”) have consented thereto.  If so extended, the Revolving Maturity Date, as to the Consenting Lenders, shall be extended for one year from the Revolving Maturity Date then in effect, effective as of the applicable Extension Date.  The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall promptly confirm to the Lenders such extension.  As a condition precedent to such extension, each Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of such Borrower dated as of the Extension Date (in sufficient copies for each appropriate Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Borrower approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (A) the representations and warranties of such Borrower contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Extension Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.13, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.4 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.1, and (B) no Default with respect to such Borrower exists.  The Borrowers shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on each Revolving Maturity Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant 


 




  





42











  






 


to Section 3.5) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised and new Pro Rata Shares of all the Lenders.


 


(c)           This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.12 or Section 9.1 to the contrary.


 


Section 2.14 Increase in Commitments.


 


(a)           Provided there exists no Default applicable to any Tranche A Borrower, upon notice by TMCC to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the appropriate Lenders), TMCC may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments applicable to all Tranche A Borrowers to an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding US$4,791,250,000.  At the time of sending such notice, TMCC (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than 10 Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the appropriate Lenders).  Each appropriate Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase.  Any appropriate Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.  The Administrative Agent shall notify all of the Tranche A Borrowers and each appropriate Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, TMCC may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel; provided that the minimum commitment of each such Eligible Assignee is not less than US$10,000,000.  The consent of the Lenders is not required to increase the amount of the Aggregate Tranche A Commitments pursuant to this Section, except that each appropriate Lender shall have the right to consent to an increase in the amount of its Commitment as set forth in this Section 2.14(a).  If the Lenders and Eligible Assignees do not agree to increase the applicable Aggregate Tranche A Commitments by the amount requested by TMCC pursuant to this Section 2.14(a), TMCC may (i) withdraw its request for an increase in its entirety or (ii) accept, in whole or in part, the increases that have been offered.


 


(b)           If the applicable Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and TMCC shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify TMCC and the appropriate Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.  As a condition precedent to such increase, each Tranche A Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of such Tranche A Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each appropriate Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Tranche A Borrower certifying that no Default applicable to such Tranche A Borrower exists.  The Tranche A Borrowers shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

(c)           This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.12 or 9.1 to the contrary.







Section 2.15 Drawings of Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes.


 


(a)           Request for Drawing.  Each Drawing shall be made on notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (Montreal time) on a Canadian Business Day at least two Canadian Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Drawing, by TCCI to the Canadian Sub-Agent, which shall give each Tranche B Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier.  Each notice of a Drawing shall be in writing (including by telecopier), in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Drawing (which shall be a Canadian Business Day), (ii) aggregate Face Amount of such Drawing and (iii) initial BA Maturity Date for each Bankers’ Acceptance and Draft comprising part of such Drawing; provided, however, that, if the Canadian Sub-Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon TCCI) that the Drafts to be accepted and purchased (or purchased, as the case may be) as part of any Drawing cannot, due solely to the requested aggregate Face Amount thereof, be accepted and/or purchased ratably by the Tranche B Lenders in accordance with Section 2.1(b), then the aggregate Face Amount of such Bankers’ Acceptances to be created and purchased and Drafts to be purchased shall be reduced to such lesser amount as the Canadian Sub-Agent determines will permit such Drafts comprising part of such Drawing to be so accepted and purchased (or to be purchased, as the case may be).  The Canadian Sub-Agent agrees that it will, as promptly as practicable, notify TCCI of the unavailability of Bankers’ Acceptances.  Each Draft in connection with any requested Drawing (A) shall be in a minimum amount of CDN$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of CDN$1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (B) shall be dated the date of the proposed Drawing.  Each Tranche B Lender shall, before 1:00 P.M. (Montreal time) on the date of each Drawing, (i) complete one or more Drafts in accordance with the related Committed Loan Notice, accept such Drafts and purchase the Bankers’ Acceptances created thereby for the Drawing Purchase Price; or (ii) complete one or more Drafts in accordance with the Drawing Notice and purchase such Drafts for the Drawing Purchase Price and shall, before 1:00 P.M. (Montreal time) on such date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Canadian Sub-Agent at its Canadian Sub-Agent’s Office, in same day funds, the Drawing Purchase Price payable by such Tranche B Lender for such Drafts less the Drawing Fee payable to such Tranche B Lender with respect thereto under Section 2.15(b).  Upon the fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2, the Canadian Sub-Agent will make the funds it has received from the Tranche B Lenders available to TCCI by wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Canadian Sub-Agent by the Canadian Borrower.


 


(b)           Drawing Fees.  TCCI shall, on the date of each Drawing and on the date of each renewal of any outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes, pay to the Canadian Sub-Agent, in Canadian Dollars, for the ratable account of the Tranche B Lenders accepting Drafts and purchasing Bankers’ Acceptances or purchasing Drafts which have not been accepted by any Tranche B Lender, the Drawing Fee with respect to such Drafts.  TCCI irrevocably authorizes each such Tranche B Lender to deduct the Drawing Fee payable with respect to each Draft of such Tranche B Lender from the Drawing Purchase Price payable by such Tranche B Lender in respect of such Draft in accordance with this Section 2.15 and to apply such amount so withheld to the payment of such Drawing Fee for the account of TCCI and, to the extent such 


 




  





44











  






 


Drawing Fee is so withheld and legally permitted to be so applied, TCCI’s obligations under the preceding sentence in respect of such Drawing Fee shall be satisfied.


 


(c)           Limitations on Drawings.  Anything in Section 2.15(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, TCCI may not select a Drawing if the obligation of the Tranche B Lenders to purchase and accept Bankers’ Acceptances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.15(e) or 3.2(b).


 


(d)           Binding Effect of Committed Loan Notices.  Each Committed Loan Notice for a Drawing shall be irrevocable and binding on TCCI.  In the case of any proposed Drawing, TCCI shall indemnify each Tranche B Lender (absent any gross negligence by the Tranche B Lender) against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Tranche B Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in the Committed Loan Notice for such Drawing the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Tranche B Lender to fund the Drawing Purchase Price to be paid by such Tranche B Lender for Drafts when, as a result of such failure, such Drafts are not issued on such date (but, in any event, excluding any loss of profit and the Drawing Fee applicable to such Drafts).


 


(e)           Circumstances Making Bankers’ Acceptances Unavailable.  If the Canadian Sub-Agent in good faith determines that for any reason a market for Bankers’ Acceptances does not exist at any time or the Tranche B Lenders cannot for other reasons, after reasonable efforts, readily sell Bankers’ Acceptances or perform their other obligations under this Agreement with respect to Bankers’ Acceptances, the Canadian Sub-Agent will promptly so notify TCCI and each Tranche B Lender.  Thereafter, TCCI’s right to request the acceptance and/or purchase of Drafts shall be and remain suspended until the Canadian Sub-Agent determines and notifies TCCI and each Tranche B Lender that the condition causing such determination no longer exists.


 


(f)           Presigned Draft Forms.  To enable the Tranche B Lenders to create Bankers’ Acceptances or purchase Drafts, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and this Section 2.15, TCCI hereby appoints each Tranche B Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf (for the purpose of acceptance and/or purchase of Drafts pursuant to this Agreement), in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Tranche B Lender, blank forms of Drafts.  In this respect, it is each Tranche B Lender’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of Drafts for acceptance under this Agreement.  TCCI recognizes and agrees that all Drafts signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by a Tranche B Lender shall bind TCCI as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of TCCI.  Each Tranche B Lender is hereby authorized (for the purpose of acceptance and/or purchase of Drafts pursuant to this Agreement) to complete and issue such Drafts endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Tranche B Lender; provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of Drafts required to be purchased by such Tranche B Lender.  On request by TCCI, a Tranche B Lender shall cancel all forms of Drafts  which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed by or on behalf of TCCI and which are held by such Tranche B Lender and have not yet been issued in accordance herewith.  Each Tranche B Lender further agrees to retain such records in the manner and/or the statutory periods provided in the various Canadian provincial or 


 




  





45











  






 


federal statutes and regulations which apply to such Tranche B Lender.  Each Tranche B Lender shall maintain a record with respect to Drafts held by it in blank hereunder, voided by it for any reason, accepted and purchased by it hereunder, and cancelled at their respective maturities.  Each Tranche B Lender agrees to provide such records to TCCI at TCCI’s expense upon request.  Drafts shall be signed by a duly authorized officer or officers of TCCI or by its attorneys, including its attorneys appointed pursuant to this Section 2.15(f).  Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any Drafts as a signatory for TCCI may no longer be an authorized signatory for TCCI at the date of issuance of a Drafts, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance, and any such Drafts so signed shall be binding on TCCI.


 


(g)           Distribution of Bankers’ Acceptances.  Bankers’ Acceptances and Drafts purchased by a Tranche B Lender in accordance with the terms of Section 2.1(b) and this Section 2.15 may, in such Tranche B Lender’s sole discretion, be held by such Tranche B Lender for its own account until the applicable BA Maturity Date or sold, rediscounted or otherwise disposed of by it at any time prior thereto in any relevant market therefor.


 


(h)           Failure to Fund in Respect of Drawings.  The failure of any Tranche B Lender to fund the Drawing Purchase Price to be funded by it as part of any Drawing shall not relieve any other Tranche B Lender of its obligation hereunder to fund its Drawing Purchase Price on the date of such Drawing, but no Tranche B Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Tranche B Lender to fund the Drawing Purchase Price to be funded or made, as the case may be by such other Tranche B Lender on the date of any Drawing.


 


(i)           Issue of BA Equivalent Notes.  TCCI shall, at the request of a Tranche B Lender, issue one or more non-interest bearing promissory notes (each a “BA Equivalent Note”) payable on the date of maturity of the unaccepted Draft referred to below, in such form as such Tranche B Lender may specify, in a principal amount equal to the Face Amount of, and in exchange for, any unaccepted Drafts which such Tranche B Lender has purchased or has arranged to have purchased in accordance with Section 2.1(b).  TCCI and each Tranche B Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that from time to time certain Tranche B Lenders may elect not to receive any BA Equivalent Note, and  TCCI and each applicable Tranche B Lender agrees that with respect to any such Tranche B Lender, in lieu of receiving BA Equivalent Notes, the applicable Tranche B Loan may be evidenced by a loan account which such Tranche B Lender shall maintain in its name, and in such event such loan account shall be entitled to all the benefits of BA Equivalent Notes.


 


(j)           Payment, Conversion or Renewal of Bankers’ Acceptances.  Upon the maturity of a Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note, TCCI may (i) elect to issue a replacement Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note by giving a Drawing Notice in accordance with Section 2.15(a), (ii) elect to have all or a portion of the Face Amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, by giving a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.2, or (iii) pay, on or before 10:00 a.m. (Montreal time) on the maturity date for such Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note, an amount in Canadian Dollars equal to the Face Amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note (notwithstanding that a Tranche B Lender may be the holder thereof at maturity).  Any such payment shall satisfy TCCI’s obligations under the Bankers’ 


 




  





46











  






 


Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note to which it relates and the relevant Lender shall thereafter be solely responsible for the payment of such Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts or BA Equivalent Notes.  During the existence of an Event of Default with respect to TCCI, no Drawing may be requested, nor may any Bankers' Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note be renewed or continued by TCCI, without the consent of the applicable Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Bankers' Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes be prepaid by TCCI on the last day of the then current BA Maturity Date with respect thereto.


 


(k)           Automatic Conversion.  If TCCI fails to pay any Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note when due, or to issue a replacement Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note in the Face Amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note pursuant to Section 2.15 (j), the unpaid amount due and payable in respect thereof shall be converted, as of such date, and without any necessity for TCCI to give a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.2, to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan made by the Tranche B Lenders ratably under this Agreement and shall bear interest calculated and payable as provided in Section 2.7.


 


(l)           Payment of Bankers Acceptances on Default.  In the event that the maturity of outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes is accelerated pursuant to Section 7.1, TCCI shall pay to the Canadian Sub-Agent in Canadian Dollars in same-day funds the aggregate principal amount of all such Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes in satisfaction of its obligations in respect thereof.


 


(m)           Inconsistencies.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 2.15 and any other provision of Article II with respect to Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes, the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall prevail.


 


(n)           Cash Collateralization.  Subject to Section 2.15(l), (i) an amount equal to the aggregate Face Amount of all Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes which are subject to any voluntary or mandatory prepayment by TCCI shall be deposited by TCCI with the Canadian Sub-Agent, in Canadian Dollars, until the BA Maturity Date of each such Bankers’ Acceptance, Drafts and BA Equivalent Note and (ii) upon the BA Maturity Date of any Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note in respect of which any such deposit has been made, the Canadian Sub-Agent shall be, and hereby is, authorized (without notice to or any further action by TCCI) to apply such amount (or the applicable portion thereof) to the payment of such Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note.


 


Section 2.16 Swing Line Loans.


 


(a)           The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swing Line Lender severally agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.16 to make loans in US Dollars or any Alternative Currency (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period applicable to such Swing Ling Lender in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding (i) for each Swing Line Lender, such Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Commitment or (ii) for all Swing Line Loans, the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, 


 




  





47











  






 


notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the ratable share of the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and Money Market Loans of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitments; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings in respect of the Tranche A Borrowers or TCCI, respectively, shall not exceed the applicable Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender under the Tranche A Commitments or Tranche B Commitments, as applicable, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans to the applicable Borrower(s) shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment applicable to such Borrower(s) and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans of any Lender under the Tranche A Facility and Tranche B Facility, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment Cap and provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall consist of borrowings made from the several Swing Line Lenders ratably to their respective Swing Line Commitments.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.16, prepay under Section 2.4, and reborrow under this Section 2.16.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s ratable share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.


 


(b)           Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the applicable Swing Line Agent and the Administrative Agent, which (x) in the case of Swing Line Loans requested by notice to the Administrative Agent, may be given by telephone and (y) in the case of Swing Line Loans requested by notice to a Swing Line Agent, may not be given by telephone, but may be given by electronic delivery, confirmed promptly by delivery to the applicable Swing Line Agent and the Administrative Agent of an original Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower.  Each such notice must be received by the applicable Swing Line Agent and the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (London, England time) in the case of any Swing Line Loans to be funded in Europe, 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) in the case of any Swing Line Loans to be funded in the United States or 9:00 a.m. (Pacific time) in the case of any Swing Line Loans to be funded in Canada on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount and currency to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of US$1,000,000, (or CDN$500,000 where the Swing Line Borrowing is requested by TCCI) (provided that, in the case of TMFNL, such amount shall not be less than the Dollar Equivalent of EUR 100,000 or any other amount as at any time set forth in the definition of “professional market party” under or pursuant to the Netherlands Financial Supervision Act (wet op het financieel toezicht)), and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day.  Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the applicable Swing Line Agent and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower.  Promptly after receipt by the applicable Swing Line Agent of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, such Swing Line Agent will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, such Swing Line Agent will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents 


 




  





48











  






 


thereof, and will notify each Swing Line Lender (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  Unless the applicable Swing Line Agent has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. (London, England time, in the case of any Swing Line Loan to be funded in Europe, or New York City time, in the case of any Swing Line Loan to be funded in North America) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing each Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.16(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. (London, England time, in the case of any Swing Line Loan to be funded in Europe, Pacific time, in the case of any Swing Line Loan to be funded in the United States or Montreal time, in the case of any Swing Line Loan to be funded in Canada) on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the applicable Borrower at its office by crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of the applicable Swing Line Agent in Same Day Funds or as otherwise directed by such Borrower.


 


(c)           Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.


 


(i)           The Swing Line Lenders at any time in their respective sole and absolute discretion may direct the applicable Swing Line Agent to request, on behalf of the applicable Borrower (and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Swing Line Agent to so request on its behalf), that each Applicable Tranche Lender make a Base Rate Committed Loan for the account of such Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of (A) the amount of Swing Line Loans made to such Borrower and then outstanding, in the case of Swing Line Loans denominated in US Dollars, or (B) the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of Swing Line Loans made to such Borrower and then outstanding, in the case of Swing Line Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.2.  The applicable Swing Line Agent shall furnish the applicable Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as applicable.  Each Applicable Tranche Lender shall make an amount equal to its ratable share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as applicable, in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s Office or the Canadian Sub-Agent’s Office, as applicable, for US Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.16(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as applicable shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lenders.


 




  





49











  






 


(ii)           If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.16(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Committed Loans submitted by the applicable Swing Line Agent as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by such Swing Line Agent that each Applicable Tranche Lender fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each such Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.


 


(iii)           If any Applicable Tranche Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as applicable, for the account of the Swing Line Lenders any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.16(c) by the time specified in Section 2.16(c)(i), the Swing Line Lenders shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as applicable), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lenders at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the applicable Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of a Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Sub-Agent, as applicable) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(iv)           Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans made to it, together with interest as provided herein.


 


(d)           Repayment of Participations.


 


(i)           At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the applicable Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will promptly distribute to such Lender its ratable share thereof in the same funds as those received by such Swing Line Lender.


 




  





50











  






 


(ii)           If any payment received by a Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by such Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.6 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to such Swing Line Lender its ratable share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the applicable Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.


 


(e)           Interest for Account of Swing Line Lenders.  The applicable Swing Line Agent shall be responsible for invoicing the applicable Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans.  Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.16 to refinance such Lender’s ratable share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such ratable share shall be solely for the account of the respective Swing Line Lenders.


 


(f)           Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender.  Each Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans made directly to the applicable Swing Line Agent, for the account of the respective Swing Line Lenders.


 


Section 2.17 Defaulting Lenders.  (a)  Generally.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, any prepayment of the Loans shall, if the Tranche A Borrowers or TCCI, as applicable, so direct at the time of making such prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Applicable Tranche Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans, as applicable, outstanding; (ii) such Defaulting Lender’s unused Aggregate Commitments shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the facility fee payable to Lenders pursuant to Section 2.8(a) in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any facility fee with respect to its unused Commitment(s) pursuant to Section 2.8(a) for any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; and (iii) the aggregate amount of the Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender.  No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.17(a), performance by any Borrower or any Lender of its obligations hereunder shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund or the operation of this Section 2.17(a).  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.17(a) are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Loan.







(b)           Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Swing Line Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender 


 




  





51











  






 


will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Tranche, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.







 


ARTICLE III


 


TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY


 


Section 3.1 Taxes.







(a)           Subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.1 and Section 9.15, any and all payments by any Borrower to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes.  If any Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.1(a)), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment, such Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment.


 


(b)           In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay to each appropriate Lender Other Taxes incurred by such Lender.


 


(c)           Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each appropriate Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.1(c)) paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender and (ii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  Payment under this Section 3.1(c) shall be made within 15 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor.


 


(d)           In the case of interest payments made by TKG or TLG, this Section 3.1 shall only apply to a Lender who is the legal and beneficial owner of amounts received pursuant to this 


 




  





52











  






 


Agreement and has provided evidence to TKG or TLG: (i) that such Lender is a person (a corporate body or an individual) which is, for taxation purposes, resident outside of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, (ii) if such Lender is a partnership, that all direct and indirect partners of that partnership are persons who are, for taxation purposes, resident outside of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, and does not hold any amounts received pursuant to this Agreement through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in Germany or (iii) that such Lender qualifies as a credit institution or financial institution within the meaning of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz).


 


(e)           TFSUK is not required to pay additional amounts to a Lender (other than a new Lender pursuant to a request by a Borrower under Section 9.16) pursuant to Section 3.1 in respect of any Tax that is required by the United Kingdom to be withheld from a payment of interest on a Loan made to TFSUK if at the time the payment falls due (i) the relevant Lender is not a UK Qualifying Lender and that Tax would not have been required to be withheld had that Lender been a UK Qualifying Lender unless the reason that that Lender is not a UK Qualifying Lender is a change after the date on which it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or double taxation agreement or any published practice or published concession of any relevant Governmental Authority; or (ii) the relevant Lender is a UK Treaty Lender and TFSUK is able to demonstrate that that Tax is required to be withheld as a result of the failure of the relevant Lender to comply with its obligations under Section 9.15(a).  Any Lender which is a Lender in respect of a Loan to TFSUK and which is not, or ceases to be, a UK Qualifying Lender, for whatever reason, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and TFSUK.


 


(f)           If the Administrative Agent or a Lender shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of, or remission for, Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has received additional amounts under this Section 3.1, such Administrative Agent or Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and Agent (as applicable) of the availability of such claim and, to the extent that the Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) determines in good faith that making such claim will not have an adverse effect on its taxes or business operation, shall, within 60 days of receipt of a request by such Borrower, make such claim.  If the Administrative Agent or Lender (acting in good faith) determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by such Borrower or with respect to which such Borrower has paid amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1, it shall pay over the amount of such refund to such Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (but amounts hereby recovered by the Borrower shall not exceed the indemnity payments made, or the amounts paid, as applicable, by such Borrower under this Section 3.1) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided, however, that such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving 


 




  





53











  






 


rise to such refund had never been paid.  This Section 3.1(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.


 


Section 3.2 Illegality.







(a)           If any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change occurring on or after the date of this Agreement has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful as a result of such Regulatory Change, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or Money Market LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, US Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in US Dollars, to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to make a Money Market LIBOR Loan for which a Money Market Quote has been delivered shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (and such Lender shall give such notice promptly upon receiving knowledge that such circumstances no longer exist).  If a Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Money Market LIBOR Loans to maturity and shall so specify in a notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in US Dollars, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Money Market LIBOR Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Money Market LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.  Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.







(b)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Tranche B Lender or its Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to complete and accept Drafts, to purchase Bankers’ Acceptances or to purchase Drafts or to continue to fund or maintain Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Tranche B Lender to TCCI through the Administrative Agent (i) an amount equal to the aggregate Face Amount of all Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes outstanding at such time shall, upon such demand, be deposited by TCCI with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.15(l) until the BA Maturity Date of each such Bankers’ Acceptance, Drafts and BA Equivalent Note, (ii) upon the BA Maturity Date of any Bankers’ 


 




  





54











  






 


Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note in respect of which any such deposit has been made, the Administrative Agent shall be, and hereby is, authorized (without notice to or any further action by TCCI) to apply such amount (or the applicable portion thereof) to the payment of such Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note or (iii) the obligation of the Tranche B Lenders to complete and accept Drafts and purchase Bankers’ Acceptances and to purchase Drafts that have not been accepted by a Tranche B Lender shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify TCCI that such Tranche B Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist (and such Lender shall give such notice promptly upon receiving knowledge that such circumstances no longer exist).


 


Section 3.3 Inability to Determine Rates.  If the applicable Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency) made to a Borrower, or (c) the Eurocurrency Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan made to a Borrower does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify such Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of the appropriate Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies to such Borrower shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the applicable Required Lenders) revokes such notice (which revocation shall be made promptly upon such instruction from the applicable Required Lenders).  Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.







Section 3.4 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.







(a)           If on or after (i) the date hereof, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes, or (ii) the date that a Money Market Quote is given for a Money Market LIBOR Loan, any Lender determines that as a result of a Regulatory Change, there shall be a material increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Money Market LIBOR Loan or of purchasing, accepting, making or maintaining Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, Money Market LIBOR Loan, Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) reserve requirements utilized in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate), then from time to time within 15 days of demand by such Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, together with  a reasonable basis therefor (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), subject to Section 3.4(c), the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such 


 




  





55











  






 


additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost incurred or reduction suffered.







(b)           If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith or as a result of any Regulatory Change, has the effect of materially reducing the rate of return on the capital of, or imposing material additional costs associated with liquidity requirements imposed by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities on, such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a direct consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder, then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), subject to Section 3.4(c),the applicable Borrower shall pay within 15 days of demand by such Lender such additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction suffered.







(c)           Promptly after receipt of knowledge of any Regulatory Change or other event that will entitle any Lender to compensation under this Section 3.4, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent certifying the basis for such request for compensation in accordance with Section 3.6(a) and shall (i) exercise reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to minimize any such increased cost and (ii) designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid, or reduce the amount of, compensation payable under this Section 3.4 and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.  Notwithstanding anything in Sections 3.4(a) or 3.4(b) to the contrary, no Borrower shall be obligated to compensate any Lender for any amount arising or accruing before 120 days prior to the date on which such Lender gives notice to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.4(c) (except that, if the Regulatory Change or other event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).







(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) this Section 3.4 shall not apply to taxes, and (ii) all indemnification (including with respect to increased costs and reduction in amounts received) relating to or attributable to taxes shall be governed solely and exclusively by Section 3.1.







           Section 3.5 Funding Losses.  Within 15 days after delivery of the certificate described in the Section 3.6(a) by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, each Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of each of the following (except to the extent incurred by any Lender as a result of any action taken pursuant to Section 3.2):







(a)           any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan made to such Borrower other than a Base Rate Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);


 




  





56











  








 


(b)           any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower;







(c)           any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or







(d)           any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by such Borrower pursuant to Section 9.16;







including any foreign exchange loss and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained but excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin for the period after which any such payment or failure to convert, borrow or prepay.  The applicable Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.







Section 3.6 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.







(a)           A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto in the absence of manifest error.  In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.







(b)           If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.2 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 3.1 or Section 3.4 with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the applicable Borrower may give notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent that, unless and until such Lender notifies such Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, effective 5 Business Days after the date of such notice from such Borrower (A) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurocurrency Rate Loans of the other Lenders), and (B) after each of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied to repay such Lender’s Base Rate Loans instead.

After application of the proceeds of any Loan, not more than 25% of the assets of the Borrower of such Loan that are subject to a restriction on sale, pledge, or disposal under this Agreement will be represented by "margin stock," as that term is defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve System.  Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Borrower may request and use the proceeds of Loans of one Type to repay outstanding Loans of another Type.

ARTICLE VIII


 


THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT


 


           Section 8.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents 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 merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.







           Section 8.2 Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.







           Section 8.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.

Section 8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the applicable Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the applicable Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.







Section 8.5 Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the applicable Required Lenders in accordance with Article VII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.


 


Section 8.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Borrower, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to a Borrower hereunder.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and 


 




  





72











  






 


to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Borrower.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.







Section 8.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the applicable Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section; provided, further, that such Indemnified Liability was incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person acting as or for the Administrative Agent in connection with such capacity.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers.  The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.







Section 8.8 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  BNP Paribas and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each Borrower and its Affiliates as though BNP Paribas were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders.  The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, BNP Paribas or its Affiliates may receive information regarding a Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of a Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.  With respect to its Loans, BNP Paribas shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include BNP Paribas in its individual capacity.

Section 8.9 Successor Administrative Agent and Sub-Agents.  (a) The Administrative Agent and each Sub-Agent may resign as Administrative Agent or Sub-Agent, as applicable, upon 30 days’ notice to the applicable Lenders.  If (i) the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which such successor administrative agent shall have entered into a licensing arrangement with Markit Group Ltd., (ii) the Canadian Sub-Agent resigns, the Required Lenders referred to in paragraph (a) in the definition of “Required Lenders” shall appoint from among the Tranche B Lenders a successor Canadian sub-agent, which shall be a bank that is not a non-resident of Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Canadian ITA and (iii) any Swing Line Agent resigns, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Swing Line Lenders a successor replacement Swing Line agent, which shall be a bank with an office in the United Kingdom, United States or Canada, as applicable, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United Kingdom, United States or Canada, as applicable, which successor, in each case, shall consent to such appointment and shall be consented to by the Borrowers in writing at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld).  If no such successor is so appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent or applicable Sub-Agent, the Administrative Agent or Sub-Agent, as applicable, may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers, a successor which meets the qualifications set forth above and consents to the appointment.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent or sub-agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent or sub-agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Sub-Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Sub-Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor administrative agent or sub-agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Sub-Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Sub-Agent (and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s licensing arrangement with Markit) shall be terminated.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Sub-Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Sub-Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII and Sections 9.4 and 9.5 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Sub-Agent under this Agreement.  If no successor administrative agent or sub-agent, as applicable, has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or Sub-Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s or Sub-Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Sub-Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Sub-Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.







(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time BNP Paribas assigns all of its Commitments and Committed Loans pursuant to subsection 9.7(b), BNP Paribas and its Affiliates may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, each resign as Swing Line Agent and Swing Line Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as Swing Line Agent and Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders successor Swing Line Agent(s) and successor Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that such successor Swing Line Agent(s) or successor Swing Line Lender consents to such appointment; and provided further, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of BNP Paribas and its Affiliates as such Swing Line Agent and 


 




  





74











  






 


Swing Line Lender.  If BNP Paribas (and its Affiliates) resigns as a Swing Line Agent and Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of such Swing Line Agent and Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.16(c).  Upon the appointment of successor Swing Line Agent(s) and Swing Line Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Agents and Swing Line Lender.







Section 8.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to a Borrower, 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 such Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise







(a)           to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing by such Borrower 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 2.8 and Section 9.4) 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 2.8 and Section 9.4.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.







Section 8.11 Other Agents, Arrangers and Managers.  None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such.  


 




  





75











  






 


Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.







Section 8.12 Canadian Sub-Agent.  The Canadian Sub-Agent is not a non-resident of Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Canadian ITA and, as such, it and not the Administrative Agent has been designated under this Agreement to carry out certain duties of the Administrative Agent in respect of TCCI.  The Canadian Sub-Agent shall be subject to each of the obligations in this Agreement to be performed by the Administrative Agent, and each of TCCI and the Tranche B Lenders agrees that the Canadian Sub-Agent shall be entitled to exercise each of the rights and shall be entitled to each of the benefits of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement as relate to the performance of its obligations hereunder.  References in Sections 2.15 and 3.1 and in the definition of “Taxes” in Section 1.1 to the Administrative Agent shall also include the Canadian Sub-Agent.

each of TMCC and TMFNL, acting alone, and with full power of substitution, as its agent and representative hereunder (in such capacity, each a “Borrowers’ Representative”), and hereby authorizes, directs and empowers each of TMCC and TMFNL, acting alone, and with full power of substitution, to act for and in the name of such Other Borrower and as its agent and representative hereunder and under the other instruments and agreements referred to herein.  TMCC and TMFNL hereby accept each such appointment.  Each Other Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each of TMCC and TMFNL, acting alone and with full power of substitution, to take such action on such Other Borrower’s behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, and under the other agreements and instruments referred to herein or therein as may be contemplated being taken or exercised by such Other Borrower by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be incidental thereto, including, without limitation, to borrow hereunder and deliver Requests for Loans hereunder, to convert, continue, repay or prepay Loans made hereunder, to increase, reduce or terminate the Commitments, to pay interest, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Loans, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the other agreements and instruments referred to herein or therein, to receive from or deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Sub-Agent any notices, statements, reports, certificates or other documents or instruments contemplated herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, to receive from or transmit to the Administrative Agent or any Sub-Agent any Loan proceeds or payments, and to execute any agreements, amendments, modifications, supplements or other documents or instruments in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on its behalf, and in each case such Other Borrower shall be bound as though the Other Borrower itself had duly taken such action.  The Administrative Agent, each Sub-Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely on the appointment and authorization of each Borrowers’ Representative with respect to all matters related to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other agreements or instruments referred to herein or therein whether or not any particular provision hereof or thereof specifies that such matters may or shall be undertaken by Borrowers’ Representative.  In reliance hereon, the Administrative Agent, each Sub-Agent and each Lender may deal with either of the Borrowers’ Representatives alone with the same effect as if the Administrative Agent, such Sub-Agent or such Lender had dealt with each Other Borrower separately and individually.  In the event of any conflict between any notices, communications or other acts of the Borrowers’ Representative and those of any Other Borrower, the notices, communications and acts of the Borrowers’ Representative shall prevail; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.2(e) shall authorize either Borrowers’ Representative to deliver a notice required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(d) or (f) on behalf of an Other Borrower, and the parties hereto acknowledge that any notice required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(d) or (f) by a Borrower pursuant to this Agreement must be provided directly by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower.







Section 9.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, 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 Attorney Costs and Expenses .  The Borrowers agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable and demonstrable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of a single counsel (and one local counsel in each jurisdiction where required or other additional counsel to the extent required due to a conflict of interest), and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all Attorney Costs.  The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search and filing charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the reasonable cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.  All amounts due under this Section 9.4 shall be payable within 15 Business Days after delivery to the Borrowers of a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the amounts demanded.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) this Section 9.4 shall not govern any indemnification or other amounts relating to or attributable to taxes, and (ii) all indemnification and other amounts relating or attributable to taxes shall be governed solely and exclusively by Section 3.1.







Section 9.5 Indemnification by the Borrowers.  (a)  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrowers shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively “Losses”) which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (c) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or 


 




  





80











  






 


willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).


 


(b)           An Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to the Borrowers of any claim asserted in writing, or the commencement of any action or proceeding, in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder.  All amounts due under this Section 9.5 shall be payable within 10 Business Days after the Borrowers receive demand therefor setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand.


 


(c)           In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Borrower, any Borrower’s equityholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other person or entity, whether or not an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto.


 


(d)           The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.


 


(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not, in connection with any single proceeding or series of related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm or internal legal department (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnitees, such firm or internal legal department to be selected by the Administrative Agent; provided that if an Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that (i) there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to other Indemnitees and may conflict therewith or (ii) the representation of such Indemnitee and the other Indemnitees by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate under applicable principles of professional responsibility, such Indemnitee shall have the right to select and retain separate counsel to represent such Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding(s) at the expense of the Borrowers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) this Section 9.5 shall not govern Losses or other amounts relating to or attributable to taxes, and (ii) all Losses and other amounts relating or attributable to taxes shall be governed solely and exclusively by Section 3.1.







Section 9.6 Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises any right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not 


 




  





81











  






 


occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment.







Section 9.7 Successors and Assigns.







(a)           The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (g) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.







(b)           Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Committed Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any assignment shall be subject to the following additional conditions:  (i) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of a Borrower, such Borrower consents to the assignment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Committed Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined in subsection (i) of this Section) with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Committed Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than US$10,000,000 (provided that, in the case of TMFNL, such amount shall not be less than the Dollar Equivalent of EUR 100,000 or any other amount as at any time set forth in the definition of “professional market party” under or pursuant to the Netherlands Financial Supervision Act (wet op het financieel toezicht)) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Committed Loans or the Commitment assigned; (iv) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (whether or not 


 




  





82











  






 


the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); (v) if the assigning Lender has a Commitment in more than one Tranche, such Lender shall make a pro rata assignment to its assignee of its Commitments under each such Tranche; and (vi) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500, which fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1 (with respect to periods it was a Lender), 3.4, 3.5, 9.4 and 9.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).  Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.  If the Eligible Assignee is required to deliver documents pursuant to Section 9.15, it shall deliver those documents to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.15.







(c)           The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.







(d)           Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or a Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) in the case of TMFNL, the amount of such participations sold shall not be less than the Dollar Equivalent of EUR 100,000 or any other amount as at any time set forth in the definition of “professional market party” under or pursuant to the Netherlands Financial Supervision Act (wet op het financieel toezicht) and (iv) the 


 




  





83











  






 


Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 9.1 that directly affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.4 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.9 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.







(e)           A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or Section 3.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent.  A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of each Borrower, to comply with Section 9.15 as though it were a Lender.







(f)           Each Lender that sells a participation interest in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall record, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, in book entries (as defined in Temporary Treasury Regulation §5f.103-1) maintained by such Lender the name and the amount of the participating interest of each Participant entitled to receive payments in respect of such participating interest.







(g)           Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, 


 




  





84











  






 


including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.







(h)           Where a Lender (the “Designating Lender”) has designated in its Administrative Questionnaire an Affiliate of the Designating Lender as the entity which shall participate in or make Loans to a particular Borrower (i) the Commitment shall be held by the Designating Lender, (ii) such Affiliate shall be entitled to all rights and benefits (other than voting rights, which remain with the Designating Lender) under this Agreement relating to its participation in any Loan and (iii) the Designating Lender shall procure that such Affiliate complies with the corresponding duties in relation to such Loan.







(i)           As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:







“Eligible Assignee” means (a) a Lender; (b) an Affiliate of a Lender; (c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by (i) the Administrative Agent and (ii) unless an Event of Default with respect to such Borrower has occurred and is continuing, the applicable Borrower (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing (x) no Person shall qualify as an Eligible Assignee without the approval of each Swing Line Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (y) “Eligible Assignee” shall not include a Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates and (z) “Eligible Assignee” shall not include any Person that is not a regulated lending institution in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia or the European Union.







“Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.







“Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.







Section 9.8 Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body, including in connection with a pledge or assignment in accordance with Section 9.7(g); (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process provided that the Borrowers are given prompt notice of such subpoena or other process (unless the Administrative Agent or Lender is legally prohibited from giving such notice); (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights 


 




  





85











  






 


hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of a Borrower; (g) with the consent of the applicable Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Borrower; or (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization.  In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Loans.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Borrower relating to such Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from a Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.







Section 9.9 Set-off.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to a Borrower, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude any Lender, at any time and from time to time, from exercising any right of set off, counterclaim, or other rights it may have otherwise than under this Agreement and or from applying amounts realized against any and all Obligations owing by such Borrower to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.







Section 9.10 Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower.







           Section 9.11 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.


 




  





86











  








 


           Section 9.12 Integration.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement.  Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.







Section 9.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.







           Section 9.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.







           Section 9.15 Tax Forms.


 


(a)           (i)  Each Tranche A Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to TMCC (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prior to becoming a party to this Agreement (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein) two duly signed completed copies of (x) IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on payments to be made to such Foreign Lender pursuant to this Agreement), (y) IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to payments to be made to such Foreign Lender pursuant to this Agreement) or (z) such other evidence satisfactory to TMCC and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code.  Thereafter and from time to time, and as reasonably requested by TMCC in writing, each such Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, (A) promptly submit to TMCC (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is 


 




  





87











  






 


satisfactory to TMCC of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by TMCC pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that TMCC make any deduction or withholding for or on account of United States taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender.  In addition, in relation to all payments to be made to a Tranche A Lender by TFSUK, such Lender shall cooperate, to the extent it is able to do so, with TFSUK in completing any procedural formalities necessary for TFSUK to obtain authorization to make such a payment without a deduction or withholding for or on account of UK Taxes including, to the extent reasonably practicable, making and filing an appropriate application for relief under a double taxation agreement; provided that, nothing in this Section 9.15(a)(i) shall require a UK Treaty Lender to register under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme or apply the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to any loan if it has so registered; provided further that a UK Treaty Lender which holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and enters into this Agreement acknowledges that such scheme shall not apply to this Agreement in respect of a loan made to TFSUK.







(ii)           [Reserved].







(iii)           With respect to each Tranche A Lender, to the extent under applicable law such Lender can provide TKG and TLG with a certificate, statement or form required by the German taxing authorities in order to be eligible for exemption from, or reduction of, withholding taxes under German tax law, such Lender shall execute and deliver such certificate, statement or form at the time it becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time as reasonably requested by TKG or TLG.







(iv)          As of the date that each Lender becomes a Tranche A Lender under this Agreement, each such Lender represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and TCPR that it is an Exempt Lender and agrees that, if Puerto Rico or United States taxing authorities at any time after the date of this Agreement require that such Lender deliver any certificate, statement or form as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, withholding taxes under the Puerto Rico Code or the Code on any payments by TCPR to such Lender under this Agreement, such Lender shall deliver such certificate, statement or form to the Administrative Agent prior to becoming a party to this Agreement (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein).  Thereafter and from time to time or as reasonably requested by TCPR in writing, each such Lender, to the extent it may lawfully do so, shall (A) promptly submit to TCPR (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) such duly completed and signed certificates, statements or forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant Puerto Rico or United States taxing authorities and such other evidence as is satisfactory to TCPR of any available exemption from, or reduction of, Puerto Rico and United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by TCPR pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such

Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that TCPR make any deduction or withholding on or account of Puerto Rico taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.







(v)           If a payment made to the Administrative Agent or a Tranche A Lender hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the Administrative Agent or such Tranche A Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Administrative Agent or such Tranche A Lender shall deliver to TMCC and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by TMCC 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 TMCC or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for TMCC or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that the Administrative Agent or such Tranche A Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.







(vi)          Each Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to TMCC (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on the date when such Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of TMCC or the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the certificates, statements or forms required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not, in the case of a Tranche A Lender, subject to Puerto Rico or United States withholding tax; and (B) any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such certificates, statements or forms, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code.







(vii)         No Borrower (other than TFSUK) shall be required to pay any additional amount to any Lender under Section 3.1 (A) with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits pursuant to this Section 9.15(a) or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy its obligations under this Section 9.15(a); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section 9.15(a) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 9.15(a) shall relieve such Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.1 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable Law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate.


 




  





89











  








 


(viii)           The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which a Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section 9.15(a).







(b)           Upon the request of TMCC or the Administrative Agent in writing, each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9.  If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then TMCC or the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code and no party hereto shall have any obligation to pay any additional amount to any Lender under Section 3.1 in respect of such withholding.







(c)           If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent.  The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.







           Section 9.16 Replacement of Lenders.  Under any circumstances set forth herein providing that a Borrower shall have the right to replace a Lender as a party to this Agreement and (i) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (ii) any Lender fails to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement, or to a request that Eurocurrency Rate Loans be made in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”, that pursuant to the terms hereof requires consent of all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders affected thereby (provided that, (x) such amendment, modification, waiver or currency request has been consented to by the Required Lenders and (y) all such non-consenting Lenders are replaced on the same terms), TMCC may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Commitment (with the assignment fee to be paid by TMCC in such instance) pursuant to Section 9.7(b) to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees procured by TMCC; provided, however, that if TMCC elects to exercise such rights with respect to any Lender pursuant to Section 3.6(c), it shall be obligated to replace all Lenders that have made similar requests for compensation pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.4.  The applicable Borrower shall (y) pay in full all principal, accrued interest, accrued fees and other amounts owing to such Lender through the date of replacement (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.5) and (z) release such Lender from its obligations under the Loan Documents.  Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans.

91











  






 


other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Sub-Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Sub-Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) such Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) such Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Sub-Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative Agent, the Sub-Agents, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to such Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Sub-Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Sub-Agent, nor any Arranger, nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrowers hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Sub-Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.







Section 9.19 PATRIOT Act Notice.  Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act , and each Borrower agrees to provide such information in its possession upon the reasonable request of a Lender or the Administrative Agent.







Section 9.20 Judgment.  (a)  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in US Dollars or Canadian Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase US Dollars or Canadian Dollars with such other currency at BNP Paribas’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.







(b)           The obligation of any Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the 


 




  





92











  






 


Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.







Section 9.21 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

SCHEDULE 1.1


 


MANDATORY COST FORMULAE


 



	
1.

	
The Mandatory Cost (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with:







 



	
  

	
(a)

	
the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions); or







 



	
  

	
(b)

	
the requirements of the European Central Bank.







 



	
2.

	
On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below.  The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.  The Administrative Agent will, at the request of any Borrower or any Lender, deliver to such Borrower or such Lender as the case may be, a statement setting forth the calculation of any Mandatory Cost.







 



	
3.

	
The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent.  This percentage will be certified by such Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of such Lender’s participation in all Loans made from such Lending Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Lending Office.







 



	
4.

	
The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:







 



	
  

	
(a)

	
in relation to any Loan in Sterling:







 



	

AB+C(B-D)+E x 0.01



	
per cent per annum


	
100 - (A+C)







 



	
  

	
(b)

	
in relation to any Loan in any currency other than Sterling:







 



	

E x 0.01



	
per cent per annum


	
300







 


Where:


 



	
  

	
“A”

	
is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.







 




  





Schedule 1.1











  






 



	
  

	
“B”

	
is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Rate, the Mandatory Cost and any interest charged on overdue amounts pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.8(b) and, in the case of interest (other than on overdue amounts) charged at the Default Rate, without counting any increase in interest rate effected by the charging of the Default Rate) payable for the relevant Interest Period of such Loan.







 



	
  

	
“C”

	
is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.







 



	
  

	
“D”

	
is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.







 



	
  

	
“E”

	
is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.







 



	
5.

	
For the purposes of this Schedule:







 



	
  

	
(a)

	
“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;







 



	
  

	
(b)

	
“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;







 



	
  

	
(c)

	
“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and







 



	
  

	
(d)

	
“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.







 



	
6.

	
In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05).  A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero.  The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.







 



	
7.

	
If requested by the Administrative Agent or any Borrower, each Lender with a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent and such Borrower, the rate of charge payable by such Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by such 







 




  





Schedule 1.1











  






 


Lender as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to such Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such Lender.


 



	
8.

	
Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate.  In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:







 



	
  

	
(a)

	
the jurisdiction of the Lending Office out of which it is making available its participation in the relevant Loan; and







 



	
  

	
(b)

	
any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.







 


Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.


 



	
9.

	
The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Lender for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Lending Office in the same jurisdiction as its Lending Office.







 



	
10.

	
The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over- or under-compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.







 



	
11.

	
The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.







 



	
12.

	
Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.







 



	
13.

	
The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrowers and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
