![](exhibit10111325012.jpg)

than three Business Days' written notice (or such shorter period as may be approved by each Finance Party), to Issue one or more Letters of Credit during the Availability Period in Dollars with an aggregate face amount not to exceed the Facility Amount, in each case at the request of the Borrower and for the account of an Account Party. Each Letter of Credit shall be Issued severally by all of the Lenders acting through the L/C Agent, at the time of Issuance as a single multi-bank letter of credit, and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A with such changes therein as the L/C Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) determines are acceptable to it and not adverse to the interests of the Lenders in any material respect. (b) The L/C Agent. The L/C Agent shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit Issued or administered by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Agent shall have all of the rights, benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered in connection with Letters of Credit Issued or proposed to be Issued by it or administered by it and any documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in Article IX included the L/C Agent with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Agent. (c) Obligation of Lenders. The obligation of any Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit shall be several and not joint and shall be in an amount equal to such Issuing Lender's Ratable Share of the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit at the time such Letter of Credit is Issued (subject to any amendments to such Letter of Credit expressly permitted hereunder) and each Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Absent the prior written consent of each Issuing Lender, no Letter of Credit may be Issued that would vary the several and not joint nature of the obligations of the Issuing Lenders thereunder as provided in this Section 2.01(c). The failure of any Issuing Lender to make any L/C Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit on any date shall not relieve any other Issuing Lender of its corresponding obligation, if any, hereunder to do so on such date, but no Issuing Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Issuing Lender to make its L/C Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit. In connection with any change in Commitments pursuant to Section 10.06 or any other event or circumstance resulting in a change in the Ratable Shares of the Lenders, the L/C Agent, the assigning Lender and the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of Lloyd's and have each outstanding Letter of Credit amended or replaced to reflect the new Ratable Shares of the applicable Issuing Lenders effective concurrently with or, to the extent agreed to in writing by the L/C Agent, the assigning Lender and the assignee, promptly following the effective date of such change. Until a Letter of Credit has been so amended or replaced with the consent of Lloyd's, the Issuing Lenders (both before and after giving effect to the change in Ratable Shares) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally sold and purchased participations in such Letter of Credit (including each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto and any Cash Collateral or other security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto) as necessary to give effect to the change in Ratable Shares. (d) Issuance Administration. Each Letter of Credit shall be executed and delivered by the L/C Agent in the name and on behalf of, and as attorney-in-fact for, each Issuing Lender, and the L/C Agent shall act under each Letter of Credit and each Letter of Credit shall expressly provide that the L/C Agent shall act as the agent of each such Issuing Lender to (i) execute and -29- deliver such Letter of Credit, (ii) receive drafts, other demands for payment and other documents presented by the beneficiary under such Letter of Credit, (iii) determine whether such drafts, demands and documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (iv) notify such Issuing Lender and the Borrower that a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related L/C Disbursement is to be made and (v) exercise all rights held by the issuer of a letter of credit under the documents for which such Letter of Credit shall provide credit enhancement (or designate any Person as its representative for all such purposes under such documents); provided that the L/C Agent shall have no obligation or liability for any L/C Disbursement under such Letter of Credit (other than in its capacity as an Issuing Lender). Each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the L/C Agent as its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of such Issuing Lender each Letter of Credit to be Issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and to take such other actions contemplated by this Section 2.01(d). Promptly upon the request of the L/C Agent, each Issuing Lender will furnish to the L/C Agent such additional powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the L/C Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Issuing Lender to execute and deliver such Letter of Credit. (e) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount of the Facility Amount, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to [\*\*\*]% during the period from and including the Closing Date to and including the last day of the Availability Period. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any three-month period, the commitment fees for such three-month period shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such three-month period that a different Applicable Rate was in effect. 2.02 Funds at Lloyd's. (a) Purpose and Application. Each Letter of Credit (x) shall be requested by, and Issued on behalf of, the Borrower and (y) is intended to provide Funds at Lloyd's for the Subject Business of each applicable Account Party, it being acknowledged that for so long as any Letter of Credit issued hereunder is deposited at Lloyd's, it shall be deemed to support the Subject Business of each applicable Account Party, the Borrower shall procure that such Letter of Credit be applied in satisfaction of such purposes, and the Finance Parties shall not be obliged to monitor or verify such application by the Borrower or any applicable Account Party. (b) Ranking of Funds at Lloyd's. Each of the parties hereto agrees and acknowledges that, subject to the duties of Lloyd's as trustee of all Funds at Lloyd's and to any conditions and requirements prescribed under the Membership Byelaw (No. 5 of 2005) which are for the time being applicable, the Letters of Credit will provide Funds at Lloyd's for the Account Parties and shall only be applied in accordance with the applicable rules or procedures of Lloyd's. (c) Application of Funds at Lloyd's. The Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, and procure that the Account Parties shall, ensure that all relevant Funds at -30- Lloyd's of the Account Parties (including Own FAL but excluding Letters of Credit) (collectively, "Subordinated Funds at Lloyd's") are applied before any Letter of Credit issued to support the Subject Business of any Account Party is drawn. 2.03 Letters of Credit. (a) L/C Credit Extension Conditions. Save as otherwise provided for herein, the L/C Agent shall only Issue a Letter of Credit if: (i) subject to Section 2.03(b), the Letter of Credit does not expire later than December 31, 20282029; (ii) the account party specified in such Letter of Credit is an Account Party and the beneficiary specified in such Letter of Credit is Lloyd's; (iii) such Letter of Credit is denominated in Dollars; (iv) the aggregate face amount of such Letter of Credit and any other Letters of Credit issued hereunder does not exceed the Facility Amount; (v) such Letter of Credit is in the form set out in Exhibit A or such other form as is acceptable to the L/C Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) and not adverse to the interests of the Lenders in any material respect; and (vi) each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 shall have been satisfied. (b) Expiry of Letters of Credit. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that: (i) each Letter of Credit shall remain in force until, on or after the date of its Issuance, notice is given to Lloyd's substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Notice of Non-Extension") stating that such Letter of Credit will be terminated on the date specified in the Notice of Non-Extension (such date being the "Letter of Credit Expiration Date"); (ii) the L/C Agent may at any time give a Notice of Non-Extension to Lloyd's in respect of a Letter of Credit so that such Letter of Credit shall expire on the date specified in the Notice of Non-Extension; (iii) for each Letter of Credit that is amended as requested in a Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower dated as of the Amendment No. 45 Effective Date, the L/C Agent shall promptly deliver a Notice of Non-Extension in respect of such Letter of Credit to Lloyd's specifying that the final expiration date of such Letter of Credit is December 31, 20282029; and -31- (iv) upon the expiry of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the Notice of Non-Extension, the maximum actual and contingent liabilities of the Issuing Lenders under such Letter of Credit will be reduced to zero. (c) Drawings and Reimbursements. (i) Notwithstanding that each Letter of Credit issued hereunder is for the account of, and in support of the Funds at Lloyd's obligations of, an Account Party, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lenders hereunder for any and all drawings under each Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Issuance of Letters of Credit for the accounts of Account Parties is required of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Subject Businesses of the Account Parties and such Issuance thereby inures to the benefit of the Borrower. (ii) Upon receipt from Lloyd's, as the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit (a "Drawing Request"), the L/C Agent shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof (and, in any event, within any time specified in the text of the relevant Letter of Credit), notify the Borrower and the Issuing Lenders of the receipt of such Drawing Request and the expected date on which the L/C Agent will honor such request. (iii) With respect to any demand for payment made under a Letter of Credit which the L/C Agent has informed the applicable Issuing Lenders, each such Issuing Lender will promptly make a L/C Disbursement in respect of such Letter of Credit in accordance with the amount of its liability under such Letter of Credit and this Agreement, and such L/C Disbursement is to be made to the account of the L/C Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Issuing Lenders. The L/C Agent will make such L/C Disbursement available to Lloyd's, as the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in the funds so received, to the account identified by Lloyd's in connection with such demand for such L/C Disbursement. Promptly following the L/C Disbursements by the Issuing Lenders in respect of any Letter of Credit, the L/C Agent will notify the Borrower of such L/C Disbursements. (iv) Not later than 12:00 p.m. New York time on the first Business Day after the date on which the L/C Disbursements are made by the Issuing Lenders in respect of any Letter of Credit (such date, the "Reimbursement Date"), the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Lenders by paying to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lenders, in immediately available funds the amount of such L/C Disbursements plus, if such payment is made after the Reimbursement Date, interest on such amount at the Default Rate from the Reimbursement Date to the date of payment by the Borrower. Any notice given by the L/C Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. -32-

(v) The Borrower waives any right it may have of first requiring the Issuing Lenders (or any agent on their behalf) to enforce the Security Documents before claiming from the Borrower under this clause (c). This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Credit Document to the contrary. (vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists a Defaulting Lender each payment by the Borrower to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.14(a). (d) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lenders for each drawing under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Credit Document; (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Agent, the Lenders or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (iv) any payment by any Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by any Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary. The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Agent and each Issuing Lender. The Borrower shall be -33- conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Agent, the Issuing Lenders and their respective correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. (e) Role of L/C Agent. None of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility to the Borrower or the Account Parties by reason of or in connection with the Issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder, or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond their control; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the L/C Agent from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is expressly understood and agreed that (i) the acceptance by the L/C Agent of documents that appear on their face to comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, (ii) the exclusive reliance by the L/C Agent on the documents presented to it under a Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect (so long as such document appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and (iii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Agent. (f) Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in Dollars, in respect of each Letter of Credit, a fee (a "Letter of Credit Fee") equal to the Applicable Rate times the aggregate daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee for each Letter of Credit shall be (i) due and payable on the tenth Business Day following the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date for such Letter of Credit, and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate for any Letter of Credit during any three-month period, the Letter of Credit Fees in respect of such Letter of Credit for such three-month period shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such three-month period that a different Applicable Rate was in effect for such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate. -34- (g) Administrative Agent Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual administrative fee described in the Fee Letter dated as of the date of this Agreement between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 2.04 Interest. (a) If any amount payable by the Borrower under any Credit Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then such amount shall thereafter bear interest at an interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. (b) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 2.05 Computation of Interest and Fees. All 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). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 2.06 Reserved. 2.07 Reserved. 2.08 Evidence of Debt. (a) Letters of Credit. The Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Issuing Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, of the Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Lenders and the fees thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Issuing 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. (b) Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.08(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error except, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Participant Register -35- maintained solely by a Lender pursuant to Section 10.06(d) of this Agreement, in which instance the accounts and records of the applicable Lender shall control. 2.09 Payments Generally. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent's Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 p.m. New York Time on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's applicable lending office (or otherwise distribute such payment in like funds as received to the Person or Persons entitled thereto as provided herein). All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 12:00 p.m., New York time shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the 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. 2.10 Increases in Commitments. (a) Request for Increase. The Borrower may, at any time during the Availability Period, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, request an increase of up to $50,000,000 in the Commitments (an "Incremental Commitment"); provided that (i) such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be approved by the Administrative Agent), (ii) after giving effect to such increase, the Commitments shall not exceed $750,000,000 in the aggregate, and (iii) the Borrower shall make no more than one request for an increase of Commitments under this Section 2.10 after the Amendment No. 45 Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.10 and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of such Lender. (b) Offer Period. The Incremental Commitments notice from the Borrower shall be open only for acceptance by the Lenders for a period of 10 Business Days from the date on which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders receive such notice (the "Offer Period") and shall specify the amount of the proposed Incremental Commitments and the proposed date on which the Incremental Commitments are to become effective. The allocation of the Incremental Commitments shall first be requested from the existing Lenders in the same proportion as their respective Ratable Shares. Each existing Lender that is willing to provide all or part of such Incremental Commitments shall confirm its commitment to do so and its agreement to assume Incremental Commitments by delivering an executed Incremental Commitments confirmation notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by no later than the last day of the Offer Period. -36-

(c) Other Lenders. If, following receipt of the confirmations referred to in paragraph (b) above, there remains a portion of the Incremental Commitments that the existing Lenders have not agreed to provide, the Borrower may, at its discretion, seek commitments from any other Eligible Assignee to provide all or part of the Incremental Commitments shortfall. Any such Eligible Assignee that is willing to provide all or any of the Incremental Commitments shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent an executed Joinder Agreement confirming the Incremental Commitments it is willing to provide and agreeing to become a Lender and a party to this Agreement on the Increase Effective Date. (d) Incremental Lenders. No Incremental Lender (other than an existing Lender) may become a Lender and a party to this Agreement without the prior written consent (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Agent. (e) Terms of Incremental Commitments. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date for any increase of the Commitments pursuant to this Section (the "Increase Effective Date") and, if applicable, the final allocation of such increase among the Lenders providing such increase; provided that such date shall be a Business Day at least ten Business Days after delivery of the request for such increase (unless otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent) and be prior to the last day of the Availability Period. In order to effect such increase, the Borrower, the applicable Incremental Lender(s) and the Administrative Agent (but no other Lenders or Persons) shall enter into one or more Joinder Agreements, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the applicable Incremental Lender(s) will provide the Incremental Commitment(s). Effective as of the Increase Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.10, each Incremental Commitment shall be a Commitment (and not a separate facility hereunder), each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitment shall be, and have all the rights of, a Lender, and the Facility Amount shall be increased by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Incremental Commitments. (f) Conditions to Effectiveness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Incremental Lender unless: (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Increase Effective Date and after giving effect to such increase; (ii) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with Section 7.06 after giving effect to such increase, calculated based on the most recently delivered financial statements under Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b); (iii) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); -37- (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received one or more Joinder Agreements contemplated above, providing for Incremental Commitments in the amount of such increase; (v) the Administrative Agent shall have received in form and substance satisfactory to it such documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith; and (vi) all fees payable to the Finance Parties in connection with such Incremental Commitments shall have been paid to the applicable Finance Parties. (g) As of the Increase Effective Date, upon the Administrative Agent's receipt of the documents required by paragraph (f) above, the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in the applicable Joinder Agreement(s) in the Register and give prompt notice of the increase in the Commitments to the Borrower, the L/C Agent and the Lenders (including each Incremental Lender). 2.11 Extension of Availability Period. (a) Request for Extension. The Borrower may, at any time during the Availability Period, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, request that the expiration of the Availability Period be extended; provided that (i) the Borrower shall not be entitled to make more than one request for an extension of the Availability Period under this Section 2.11, and (ii) no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to extend the Availability Period pursuant to this Section 2.11 and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of each Lender. If all Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree in writing to extend the Availability Period as requested by the Borrower under this Section 2.11 and each of the conditions listed in paragraph (b) below are satisfied, the last day of the Availability Period shall be such date as is agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Lenders (the "Availability Period Extension Effective Date"). (b) Conditions to Effectiveness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an extension of the Availability Period pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall not be effective unless: (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Availability Period Extension Effective Date and after giving effect to such extension; (ii) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct on and as of the Availability Period Extension Effective Date, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); and (iii) the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have received in form and substance satisfactory to it such documents reasonably requested by it in connection therewith. -38- 2.12 Voluntary Collateralization of Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the terms of this Section 2.12, the Borrower may, by giving to the Administrative Agent and each Lender not less than 15 Business Days' prior notice to that effect, procure that, on any Voluntary Collateralization Date, the liability of the Issuing Lenders under any Letter of Credit is Fully Collateralized by depositing Eligible Collateral into the Collateral Account. Upon such deposit of Eligible Collateral being made into the Collateral Account on the applicable Voluntary Collateralization Date, the Applicable Rate for each Letter of Credit that is Fully Collateralized as a result of such deposit shall be immediately decreased to the applicable rate set out in clause (ii) of the definition of Applicable Rate effective as of such Voluntary Collateralization Date. The allocation of Eligible Collateral to Letters of Credit shall be as set forth in the Collateral Value Certificate. (b) The Borrower may deliver a notice described in paragraph (a) above on no more than two occasions during the term of this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that (i) causing any Letter of Credit to be Fully Collateralized on the Closing Date, the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date or, the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, or the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date shall not be deemed to be a notice for purposes of this Section 2.12(b), and (ii) issuing a Letter of Credit or increasing the face amount of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a notice for purposes of this Section 2.12(b); provided that (x) in the case of any such increase in the face amount of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit is Fully Collateralized immediately before and immediately after such increase, and (y) in the case of any new Letter of Credit Issued on or after the Amendment No. 45 Effective Date (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Letters of Credit Issued to amend or replace existing Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.01(c) solely as a result of the changes in Ratable Shares effected by the Amendment No. 45), such Letter of Credit is Fully Collateralized at the time of issuance). (c) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may withdraw all or any part of the Eligible Collateral from the Collateral Account provided that the Borrower has given the Administrative Agent and each Lender not less than five Business Days' notice of its intention to withdraw such Eligible Collateral from the Collateral Account. (d) If any Letter of Credit that was Fully Collateralized ceases to be Fully Collateralized as a result of a withdrawal of Eligible Collateral from the Collateral Account, a reduction in the Collateral Value or otherwise, the Applicable Rate for such Letter of Credit shall be immediately increased to the applicable rate set out in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Rate. 2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such obligations (other than pursuant to Section 3.01, Section 3.02 or Section 10.08) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, -39- and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in such obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts owing them; provided that: (a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (ii) the application of Cash Collateral, or (iii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of, a participation in any of its interests in Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). (c) The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 2.14 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 10.01. (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Letters of Credit under this Agreement; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower -40-

------

![](exhibit10111325015.jpg)

as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. (iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Agent 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, 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 Borrower 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. 2.15 Funds at Lloyd's Ineligibility (a) In this Section 2.15: "Accepting Lender" means each existing Lender which accepts an Ineligible Amount pursuant to this Section 2.15. (b) If all or any part of: (i) a Lender's participation in a Letter of Credit; and/or (ii) all or any part of a Lender's unused Commitment, has ceased or will cease to be eligible as Funds at Lloyd's for the Borrower in respect of the Subject Business (such Lender being the "Affected Lender" and the amount of its participation which has ceased or will cease to be eligible being, the "Ineligible Amount"): (A) the Borrower or the Affected Lender shall, promptly upon becoming aware of such event, notify the Administrative Agent who shall, in turn, promptly notify the Borrower or the Affected Lender, as applicable; and (B) if alternative arrangements acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have not been made, either the Borrower or the Affected Lender may by notice to the other (through the Administrative Agent) request: -41- (aa) a transfer of the Ineligible Amount takes place pursuant to paragraphs (c) to (e) below; (bb) the cancellation of the Commitment of the Affected Lender take place pursuant to paragraph (f) below; or (cc) following the process set out at paragraphs (c) to (d) below, the Ineligible Amount be reduced to zero pursuant to paragraph (e) below. (c) If any such notification is made pursuant to paragraph (b)(ii)(B)(aa) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly offer the Ineligible Amount to the other Lenders in the same proportion that each Lender's Commitment bears to the total Commitments of all Lenders (excluding, in each case, the Affected Lender and its Commitment) whereupon: (i) if, within five Business Days of such offer, any one or more Lenders accepts such offer, the Borrower, the Affected Lender and those Lenders shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, effect the necessary transfers of the Ineligible Amount pursuant to Section 10.06; and (ii) if, any existing Lender declines such offer or does not respond within five Business Days of such offer, the Administrative Agent shall promptly offer the declining Lender's proportion of the Ineligible Amount to the remaining Lenders (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Affected Lender) in such proportions as the Borrower may elect. If, within five Business Days of such offer, one or more Lenders accept such offer, the Borrower, the Affected Lender and those Lenders shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, effect the necessary transfers of the Ineligible Amount to those Lenders pursuant to Section 10.06. (d) If any part of the Ineligible Amount is not accepted by the other Lenders pursuant to paragraph (c) above (such part of the Ineligible Amount being the "Remaining Ineligible Amount"), the Borrower or the Affected Lender (with the consent of the Borrower) may offer the Remaining Ineligible Amount to one or more Eligible Assignees. If any such Eligible Assignee accepts such offer within five Business Days of the offer being made, the Borrower and the Affected Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, effect the necessary transfers of the Remaining Ineligible Amount to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to Section 10.06. (e) If any part of the Ineligible Amount has not been transferred to the Lenders or to Eligible Assignees pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (d) above, the Borrower, the Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate in good faith to procure that Lloyd's amends or reduces the Letters of Credit as necessary to reduce the Ineligible Amount to zero. (f) The Borrower may, by no less than five Business Days' notice to the Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent, cancel the Commitment of the Affected Lender, but only to the extent that the Affected Lender's participation in a Letter of Credit would cease to be eligible as Funds at Lloyd's for the Borrower in respect of the Subject Business. -42- (g) The Lenders shall inform the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly upon becoming aware of any actual or proposed changes to that Lender's permitted letter of credit limit as set by Lloyd's which would cause such Lender's participation in a Letter of Credit to cease being eligible as Funds at Lloyd's or would cause any Commitments of that Lender cease being eligible for providing Funds at Lloyd's in respect of the Subject Business. (h) In the case of any Affected Lender which was a Lender as of the Amendment No. 45 Effective Date, such Affected Lender shall promptly refund to the Borrower an amount equal to the pro rata proportion of any upfront fee paid to such Affected Lender on or about the Amendment No. 45 Effective Date which is attributable to the period commencing on the date such Lender becomes an Affected Lender and ending on December 31, 20252026. (i) Any transfer of rights and obligations of an Affected Lender pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (d) above shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the Borrower shall have no right to replace the Administrative Agent; (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Affected Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find an Accepting Lender; and (iii) in no event shall the Affected Lender be required to pay or surrender to any Accepting Lender any of the fees received by the Affected Lender pursuant to the Credit Documents. ARTICLE III. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 3.01 Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the Borrower to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined in good faith by the Borrower, taking into account the information and documentation delivered pursuant to subsection (d) below. (ii) If the Borrower shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any taxes from any payment, then (A) the Borrower shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined in good faith by the Borrower to be required, taking into account the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (d) below, (B) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions -43- applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. (iii) If the Borrower shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) the Borrower, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined in good faith by it to be required, taking into account the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (d) below, (B) the Borrower, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount so withheld or deducted by it to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting or duplicating the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws. (c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting or duplicating the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall indemnify each Finance Party, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Finance Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Finance Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Finance Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (ii) [Reserved.]. (iii) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A -44-

certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (c). (iv) Upon request by the Borrower or any Finance Party, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by such Finance Party to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to such Finance Party or such Finance Party shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or such Finance Party, as the case may be. (d) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. (ii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. (iii) Each Lender shall, on or before the date it becomes a party hereto, provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a properly completed IRS Form -45- W-8BEN-E, W-9 or other applicable forms requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent establishing that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding. The Administrative Agent shall, on or before the date it becomes a party hereto, provide to the Borrower a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E, W-9 or other applicable forms requested by the Borrower establishing that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding. (iv) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be 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 of any jurisdiction that the Borrower make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. (v) Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. (vi) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01(d). (e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Finance Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Finance Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) provided that the Borrower upon the request of such Finance Party, shall repay to such Finance Party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Finance Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 3.01(e) shall not be construed to require any Finance Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. (f) Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document. -46- 3.02 Increased Costs. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any Issuing Lender; (ii) subject any Finance Party to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Finance Party in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by any Finance Party); or (iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Finance Party of participating in, issuing or maintaining such Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Finance Party hereunder (whether of interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Finance Party, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Finance Party, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Finance Party, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender's or such Issuing Lender's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such Issuing Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or such Issuing Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender or the Lenders, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender's or such Issuing Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or such Issuing Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's or such Issuing Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender's or such Issuing Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered. It is acknowledged that this Agreement is being entered into by the Lenders on the understanding that the Lenders will not be required to maintain capital against their Commitment under current applicable Laws, regulations and regulatory guidelines. In the event the Lenders shall be advised by any Governmental Authority or shall otherwise determine on the -47- basis of pronouncements of any Governmental Authority that such understanding is incorrect, it is agreed that the Lenders will be entitled to make claims under this Section (each such claim to be made within a reasonable period of time after the period to which it relates) based upon market requirements prevailing on the Closing Date for commitments under comparable credit facilities against which capital is required to be maintained. (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender, an Issuing Lender or any other Finance Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Finance Party or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such other Finance Party, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender or such other Finance Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or such Issuing Lender's or such other Finance Party's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or any Issuing Lender or any other Finance Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such other Finance Party, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender's or such Issuing Lender's or such other Finance Party's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 3.03 Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then such Lender shall, at the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking a Letter of Credit or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 3.04 Illegality. If, in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender determines that any applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to (i) perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document, -48-

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.02 and -72-

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 9.04 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the Issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Issuing Lender prior to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the -73- Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower and subject to the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the "Resignation Effective Date"), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. (b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the "Removal Effective Date"), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. (c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those -74- payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. (d) Any resignation by, or removal of, Lloyds as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation L/C Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Agent, if in its sole discretion it elects to, (ii) each of the retiring L/C Agent shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Agent, if in its sole discretion it elects to, shall issue Letters of Credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Agent to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the syndication agents, arrangers or bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder. 9.09 Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using "plan assets" (within the meaning of the Plan Assets Regulation) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender's entrance -75- into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a "Qualified Professional Asset Manager" (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Credit Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). -76-

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its Ratable Share of all participations in participated Letters of Credit and drawn Letters of Credit.

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, Section 3.01, Section 3.02 and Section 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) (e) of this Section (other than a purported assignment to a natural Person or the Borrower or any Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Borrower, which shall be null and void). (d) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and Reimbursement Obligations (and related interest thereon) 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Subsidiaries or 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 Reimbursement Obligations owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.02(a), Section 10.02(b), Section 10.02(c) or Section 10.02(d) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(d)) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 and Section 3.05 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or Section 3.02, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the sale of such participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or -85- delayed). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.05 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 and Section 10.08 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 Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant's interest in the obligations under the Credit 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, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, 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. (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank; 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. 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its auditors and its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to (i) any assignee of, or any prospective assignee of, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating a Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service -86- Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the application, issuance, publishing and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07, (y) becomes available to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (z) is independently discovered or developed by a party hereto without utilizing any Information received from a Borrower or violating the terms of this Section 10.07. In addition, the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing 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 in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the commitments of the Lenders hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits or impedes any individual from communicating or disclosing Information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to a Governmental Authority or self-regulatory authority without any notification to any Person. For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to an Arranger, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each of the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws. 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of -87- the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender or any Affiliate thereof shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender or its Affiliate shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates as to which such right of setoff was exercised. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the "Maximum Rate"). In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Administrative Agent may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means (including Docusign) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Credit 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 Credit 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.

10.22 Erroneous Payments. (a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or Issuing Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender (any such Lender, Issuing Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a "Payment Recipient") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "Erroneous Payment") and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 10.22 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case: (i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and -93- mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and (ii) such Lender or Issuing Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.22(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.22(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient's obligations pursuant to Section 10.22(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made. (c) Each Lender or Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Credit Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under Section 10.22(a). (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine. (e) Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.22 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, none of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall have any obligations or liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 10.22 in respect of any Erroneous Payment.
