Exhibit A-2 attached hereto sets forth a clean copy of the Amended Credit Agreement, after giving effect to such amendments.  This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document.   
Section 4.    Amendment to Guaranty.  The Guaranty is hereby amended as follows:
4.1.    Guaranty Defined Terms.  Section 1 of the Guaranty is amended by amending and restating the definition of the term “Obligations” as it appears therein to read as follows:
 “Obligations”:  All indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and any Lenders of every kind, nature, or description under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, including the “LC Obligations” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), all obligations in connection with the “Cash Management Services” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), all “Rate Management Obligations” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and all other “Obligations” as defined in the Credit Agreement, and any other obligations of the Borrower on any promissory note or notes under the Credit Agreement and any note or notes hereafter issued in substitution or replacement thereof, in all of the foregoing cases whether due or to become due, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or incurred; provided that the Obligations shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement). 
Section 1 of the Guaranty is further amended by inserting the definition of the term “Qualified ECP Guarantor” in appropriate alphabetical order therein to read as follows:
“Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Loan Party that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the

2

relevant Guaranty or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(19)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
4.2.    Application of Payments.  Section 7 of the Guaranty is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 7.    Application of Payments.  The Administrative Agent may apply any and all payments upon the Obligations made by the Guarantors or by any other Person, and/or the proceeds of any and all collateral or security for any of the Obligations, on the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations set forth in the Credit Agreement.
4.3.    Eligible Contract Participant.  Section 16 of the Guaranty is amended by inserting a new Section 16(g) at the end of such Section 16 to read as follows:
16(g)    As of the date of the execution of this Guaranty, it is an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act, and is deemed to represent on each day that the Borrower enters into a swap, that it is an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act.
4.4.    Governing Law and Construction.  Section 20 of the Guaranty is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 20.    Governing Law and Construction. THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS. Whenever possible, each provision of this Guaranty and any other statement, instrument, or transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto shall be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under such applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty or any other statement, instrument, or transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto is held to be prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision, the remaining provisions of this Guaranty or any other statement, instrument, or transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto.

3

4.5.    Consent to Jurisdiction.  Section 21 of the Guaranty is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 21.    Consent to Jurisdiction. AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S OPTION, THIS GUARANTY MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY FEDERAL  OR STATE COURT SITTING  IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND EACH GUARANTOR CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY SUCH COURT  AND WAIVES ANY ARGUMENT  THAT VENUE IN SUCH FORUMS IS NOT CONVENIENT. IN THE EVENT ANY GUARANTOR  COMMENCES ANY ACTION IN ANOTHER  JURISDICTION OR VENUE UNDER ANY TORT  OR CONTRACT THEORY ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED  BY THIS GUARANTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AT ITS OPTION  MAY HAVE THE CASE TRANSFERRED TO ONE OF THE JURISDICTIONS AND VENUES ABOVE­ DESCRIBED, OR IF SUCH TRANSFER CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO HAVE SUCH CASE DISMISSED  WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

4.6.    Keepwell.  A new Section 25 of the Guaranty is inserted in appropriate numerical order to read as follows:
Section 25.    Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of all Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 25 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 25, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 25 shall remain in full force and effect until irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 25 constitute, and this Section 25 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Guarantor or a Swap Counterparty makes a written representation to the Lenders in connection with a Guaranty, a swap, or any master agreement governing a swap to the effect that Guarantor is or will be an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act on the date the Guaranty becomes effective with respect to such swap (this date shall be the date of the execution of the swap if the corresponding Guaranty is then in effect, and otherwise it shall be the date of execution and delivery of such Guaranty unless the Guaranty specifies a subsequent effective date), and such representation proves to have been incorrect when made or deemed to have been made, the Lenders reserve all of their contractual and other rights and remedies, at law or in equity, including (to the extent permitted by applicable law) the right to 

4

claim, and pursue a separate cause of action, for damages as a result of such misrepresentation, provided that such Guarantor’s liability for such damages shall not exceed the amount of the Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such swap.
Section 5.    Amendments to Notes.  Each Note is amended by deleting the word “Nebraska” as it appears in the last paragraph thereof and replacing it with the word “New York.”
Section 6.    Effectiveness of Amendments and Waivers.  The amendments contained in this Amendment shall become effective upon delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower of, and compliance by the Borrower with, the following:
6.1.    This Amendment duly executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
6.2.    All Notes requested by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Amended Credit Agreement payable to the order of each such requesting Lender.
6.3.    A certificate of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary (or other appropriate officer) of the Borrower each Guarantor dated as of the date hereof and certifying as to the following:

(b)    The incumbency, names, titles and signatures of the officers of such Person authorized to execute the Amendment Documents to which such Person is a party or certifying that there have been no changes to the incumbency, names, titles and signatures of the officers of such Person since the same were previously delivered and certified to the Administrative Agent.
6.4.    A certificate, signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, stating that as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the terms of this Amendment, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, are (x) with respect to any representations or warranties that contain a materiality qualifier, true and correct in all respects as of the date hereof, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case, such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects on and as of such earlier date, and (y) with respect to any representations or warranties that do not contain a materiality qualifier, true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date.

5

6.5.    The Administrative Agent shall have received a written opinion of the Borrower’s counsel (which may include local counsel and in-house counsel), addressed to the Lenders and in form and substance satisfactory to the Lenders.
6.6.    The Administrative Agent shall have received such documents and certificates relating to the organization, existence and good standing of the Borrower and each initial Guarantor, the authorization of the transactions contemplated hereby and any other legal matters relating to the Borrower and such Guarantors, the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

6.9.

6.10.    The Administrative Agent shall have received all governmental, equity holder and third party consents and approvals necessary in connection with the contemplated financing and all applicable waiting periods shall have expired without any action being taken by any authority that would be reasonably likely to restrain, prevent or impose any material adverse conditions on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and no law or regulation shall be applicable that in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent could have such effect.
6.11.    No action, suit, investigation or proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in any court or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
6.12.    The Administrative Agent shall have received:  (i) unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2014, (ii) audited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended January 1, 2012, December 29, 2012 and December 28, 2013, and (iii) such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
6.13.    The Administrative Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to it of current insurance coverage for the Borrower.

Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby represents that on and as of the date hereof and after giving effect to this Amendment (a) all of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty are (i) with respect to any representations or warranties that contain a materiality qualifier, true and correct in all respects and (ii) with respect to any representations or warranties that do not contain a materiality qualifier, true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof as though made on and as of such date except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date, except in each case for changes permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty, respectively, and (b) there will exist no Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or the Guaranty, as each is amended by this Amendment on such date, nor would a Default or Event of Default result from the effectiveness of this Amendment.

represents and warrants that no consent, approval or authorization of or registration or declaration with any Person, including but not limited to any governmental authority, is required in connection with the execution and delivery by such Borrower or Guarantor of the Amendment Documents or other agreements and documents executed and delivered by such Borrower or Guarantor in connection therewith or the performance of obligations of such Borrower or Guarantor therein described, except for those which such Borrower or Guarantor has obtained or provided and as to which such Borrower or Guarantor has delivered certified copies of documents evidencing each such action to the Administrative Agent.
7.3.    No Adverse Claim.

8

any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto in such jurisdiction, or affecting the effectiveness, validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(c)    The entries in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

28

(d)    Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or, in the case of the Swing Line Lender, promissory notes representing its Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, respectively, substantially in the form of Exhibit D, with appropriate changes for notes evidencing Swing Line Loans (each a “Note”).  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note or Notes payable to the order of such Lender in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clauses (b) (i) and (ii) above.
2.14.    Telephonic Notices.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Agreed Currencies and Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically.  The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation (which may be an e-mail confirmation) of each telephonic notice authenticated by an Authorized Officer.  If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.  The parties agree to prepare appropriate documentation to correct any such error within 10 days after discovery by any party to this Agreement.
2.15.    Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis.  Interest accrued on each Base Rate Advance and each Swing Line Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such Payment Date to occur after the Effective Date and at maturity.  Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurocurrency Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity.  Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period.  Interest on all Advances and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, except that Interest on any Advance that bears interest at the Prime Rate option of the Alternate Base Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year.  Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon (local time) at the place of payment.  If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
2.16.    Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.  Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder.  Promptly after notice from the applicable LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of a Facility LC hereunder.  The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the currency and interest rate applicable to each 

29

Eurocurrency Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
2.17.    Lending Installations.  Each Lender may book its Advances and its participation in any LC Obligations and a LC Issuer may book the Facility LCs at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time.  All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or each LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation.  Each Lender and each LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Facility LCs will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Facility LCs are to be made.
2.18.    Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.  Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made.  The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption.  If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.
2.19.    Facility LCs.
(a)    Issuance.  Each LC Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in reliance on the agreements of the Lenders in Sections 2.19(b) and 2.19(e), to issue standby Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or other Agreed Currencies, commercial Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or other Agreed Currencies and, in its discretion, Banker’s Acceptances (each such standby Letter of Credit, commercial Letter of Credit or Banker’s Acceptance, a “Facility LC”) and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Facility LC (“Modify,” and each such action a “Modification”), from time to time from and including the Effective Date and prior to the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower; provided that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified, (i) the aggregate Dollar Amount of the outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed $100,000,000 and75,000,000, (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment., and (iii) the aggregate Dollar Amounts of the outstanding LC Obligations with respect to standby Letters of Credit shall not exceed 

30

$25,000,000.  Without limiting the foregoing, all Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed without further action of the parties to be Facility LCs issued hereunder and subject to the terms hereof.  No Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the earlier to occur of (x) the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date and (y) one year after its issuance; provided, however, that the expiry date of a Facility LC may be up to one year later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date if the Borrower has posted on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date cash collateral in the Facility LC Collateral Account on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Issuer in an amount equal to 105% of the LC Obligations with respect to such Facility LC.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Loan Document, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all Banker’s Acceptances shall be treated as Facility LCs for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation for the purposes of (A) determining (I) outstanding LC Obligations and (II) Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure, (B) participation by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19(b) and reimbursement by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19(e), (C) cash collateralization pursuant to Section 2.19(k), and (D) Defaulting Lender provisions pursuant to Section 2.22) and shall constitute Obligations guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured by any collateral.  Each Facility LC shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98, as set forth in the Letter of Credit Application or as determined by the applicable LC Issuer.
(b)    Participations.  Upon the issuance or Modification by a LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.19, such LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from such LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.
(c)    Notice.  Subject to Section 2.19(a), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice prior to 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) at least five Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC, specifying the LC Issuer, the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable LC Issuer and each Lender, of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such proposed Facility LC.  The issuance or Modification by a LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to such LC Issuer and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such Letter of Credit Application and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as such LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC Application”).  The applicable LC Issuer shall have no independent duty to ascertain whether the conditions set forth in Article IV have been satisfied; provided, however, that such LC Issuer shall not issue a Facility LC if, on or before the proposed date of issuance, such LC Issuer shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that any such condition has not been satisfied or waived.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

31

(d)    LC Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, with respect to each Facility LC that is a standby Letter of Credit, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans in effect from time to time multiplied by the amount available to be drawn under such Facility LC from time to time for the period from the date of issuance to the scheduled expiration date of such Facility LC, such fee to be payable in arrears on the last day of each quarter (the “Standby LC Fee”).  The Borrower shall also pay to the applicable LC Issuer of any Facility LC (including without limitation commercial Letters of Credit and/or Banker’s Acceptances) for its own account (x) a fronting fee in an amount agreed upon between such LC Issuer and the Borrower and (y) on demand, all amendment, drawing and other fees regularly charged by such LC Issuer to its letter of credit customers and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such LC Issuer in connection with the issuance, Modification, administration or payment of any Facility LC (including without limitation commercial Letters of Credit and/or Banker’s Acceptances).
(e)    Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders.  Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC, the applicable LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by such LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”).  The responsibility of the applicable LC Issuer to the Borrower and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC.  Each Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse such LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Amount of each payment made by such LC Issuer under each Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(f) below and there are not funds available in the Facility LC Collateral Account to cover the same, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of such LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three days and, thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances.
(f)    Reimbursement by Borrower.  The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the applicable LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts required to be paid by such LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC issued by it, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither the Borrower nor any Lender shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) such LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC, in each case as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  All such amounts paid by such LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by the Borrower shall 

32

bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2.00% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date.  The applicable LC Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from the Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to such LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 2.19(e).  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section 2.8 and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), the Borrower may request an Advance hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.
(g)    Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.19 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Facility LC.  The Borrower further agrees with the LC Issuers and the Lenders that, except as provided in Section 2.19(f), the LC Issuers and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, any of its Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower or of any of its Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.19(f), no LC Issuer shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC issued by it.  The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not put any LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to the Borrower; provided that any determination of gross negligence or willful misconduct must be a determination in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Nothing in this Section 2.19(g) is intended to limit the right of the Borrower to make a claim against a LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.19(f).
(h)    Actions of LC Issuer.  Each LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex, teletype or electronic mail message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such LC Issuer.  Each LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.19, each 

33

LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC.
(i)    Indemnification.  The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, each LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) that such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent may incur (or that may be claimed against such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Facility LC or any actual or proposed use of any Facility LC, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) that such LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with (i) the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to such LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against any Defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of such LC Issuer issuing any Facility LC that specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Facility LC does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to such LC Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (y) such LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC, in each case as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Nothing in this Section 2.19(i) is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.
(j)    Lenders’ Indemnification.  Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify each LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or such LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility LC, in each case as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.19 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.
(k)    Facility LC Collateral Account.  The Borrower agrees that it will, at any time an Event of Default exists, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders until the earlier of (i) the cure of such Event of Default or (ii) the final expiration date of any Facility LC and payment to the applicable LC Issuer or the Lenders in respect of any Facility LC and Obligations in connection therewith, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to 

34

arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (the “Facility LC Collateral Account”), in the name of such Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which such Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1.  The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the applicable LC Issuer(s), a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds that are from time to time on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations.  The Administrative Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of U.S. Bank having a maturity not exceeding 30 days.  Nothing in this Section 2.19(k) shall either obligate the Administrative Agent to require the Borrower to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account or limit the right of the Administrative Agent to release any funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account in each case other than as required by Section 8.1.
(l)    Rights as a Lender.  In its capacity as a Lender, each LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.
(m)    Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Facility LC issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable LC Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Facility LC.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Facility LCs for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
2.20.    Replacement of Lender.  If the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender or if any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or declines to approve an amendment or waiver that is approved by the Required Lenders (any Lender so affected an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit B and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.3 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment that would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

35

2.21.    Limitation of Interest.  The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 2.21 shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 2.21, even if such provision declares that it controls.  As used in this Section 2.21, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation that constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of the Obligations.  In no event shall the Borrower or any other Person be obligated to pay, or any Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (x) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious interest permitted under the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of any applicable state, or (y) total interest in excess of the amount that such Lender could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the Obligations at the Highest Lawful Rate.  On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “Stated Rate”) called for under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the Highest Lawful Rate for that day.  Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, at which time the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate.  The daily interest rates to be used in calculating interest at the Highest Lawful Rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable Highest Lawful Rate per annum by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made.  None of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or in any other Loan Document that directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 2.21, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate.  If the term of any Obligation is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason any Lender at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Highest Lawful Rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event, and, if such excess interest has been paid to such Lender, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Borrower’s obligations to such Lender, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs that causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.  
2.22.    Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)    fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.5;

36

(b)    the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.2), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;
(c)    if any Swing Line Loans shall be outstanding or any LC Obligations exist at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)    all or any part of the unfunded participations in and commitments with respect to such Swing Line Loans or LC Obligations shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Outstanding Credit Exposure plus such Defaulting Lenders’ Loans and participations in and commitments with respect to Loans and Facility LCs does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Article IV are satisfied at such time; provided, that the Standby LC Fees payable to the Lenders shall be determined taking into account any such reallocation;
(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay the Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the outstanding Swing Line Loans that were not reallocated and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.1 for so long as such Facility LC Exposure is outstanding; 
(iii)    if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure is cash collateralized by the Borrower; and
(iv)    if any Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure is not cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable LC Issuer(s) or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.19(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure that have been reallocated to the other Lenders (and, for clarification, not any portion that has been cash collaterizedcollateralized) shall be payable to the non-defaulting Lenders and the applicable LC Issuer(s) (to the extent not reallocated to the non-defaulting Lenders) until such Facility LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(d)    so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no LC Issuer shall be required to issue or Modify any Facility LC, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by cash collateral provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.22(c) or will be allocated to non-defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.22(c); and

37

(e)    any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.2 but excluding Section 2.20) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as are determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the LC Issuers or Swing Line Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Revolving Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participating interest in any Swing Line Loan or Facility LC in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, 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, (vi) sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower 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, (vii) seventh, if so determined by the Administrative Agent, distributed to the Lenders other than the Defaulting Lender until the ratio of the Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Lenders to the Aggregate Outstanding Exposure equals such ratio immediately prior to the Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund any portion of any Loans or participations in Facility LCs or Swing Line Loans and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of draws under Facility LCs with respect to which the applicable LC Issuer(s) has funded its participation obligations, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each LC Issuer and the Swing Line Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposure and Facility LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent determines necessary in order for such Lender to hold the Revolving Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  For purposes of this Section 2.22, (x) “Swing Line Exposure” shall mean, with respect to any Defaulting Lender at any time, such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans outstanding at such time and (y) “Facility LC Exposure” shall mean, with respect to any Defaulting Lender at any time, such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations at such time.
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Borrower of any of its rights or remedies (whether in equity or law) against any Lender that fails to fund any of its

38

Loans hereunder at the time or in the amount required to be funded under the terms of this Agreement.
2.23.    Market Disruption.  Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions referred to in Article II and Article IV with respect to any Advance or Facility LC in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance or the date of issuance of such Facility LC any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls that would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders make it impracticable for the Eurocurrency Loans comprising such Advance or Facility LC to be denominated in the Agreed Currency specified by the Borrower, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, and such Loans or Facility LC shall not be denominated in such Agreed Currency but shall be made on such Borrowing Date in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be, as Base Rate Loans, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day before such date that (i) it elects not to borrow on such date or (ii) it elects to borrow on such date in a different Agreed Currency, as the case may be, in which the denomination of such Loans would in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders be practicable and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be.
2.24.    Judgment Currency.  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s offices on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given.  The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency.  If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 11.2, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.
2.25.    Extensions of Commitments.  

39

(a)    The Borrower may from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.25, agree with one or more Lenders holding Commitments to extend the Facility Termination Date, and otherwise modify the terms of such Commitments or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Commitments or any portion thereof) (each such modification, an "“Extension"”)) pursuant to one or more written offers (each, an "“Extension Offer"”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on their respective Pro Rata Shares) and on the same terms to each such Lender.  In connection with each Extension, the Borrower will provide notification to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders), no later than 30 days prior to the Facility Termination Date of the requested new termination date for the extended Commitments (each an "“Extended Termination Date"”) and the due date for Lender responses, which due date shall be at least 10 Business Days after the date of such distribution to the Lenders.  In connection with any Extension, each Lender wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide the Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Any Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension.  
(b)    Each Extension shall be subject to the following:
(i)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time any Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders or at the time of such Extension;
(ii)    except as to interest rates, fees and termination date, the Commitment of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension shall have the same terms as the Commitments of the Banks that did not agree to the Extension Offer;
(iii)    the final termination date of the Commitments to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be later than the final termination date of the Commitments of the Banks that did not agree to the Extension Offer;
(iv)    if the aggregate amount of Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate amount of Commitments offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to the relevant Extension Offer, then such Commitments shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the relative Commitments of the Lenders that accepted such Extension Offer;
(v)    all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications by the Borrower generally directed to the applicable Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
(vi)    any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied; and
(vii)    no Extension shall become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of such Extension, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall be satisfied 

40

(with all references in such Section to a request for a Loan being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of such Extension), and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of such Extension and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.
(c)    If at the time any Extension of Commitments (as so extended, "“Current Extension Commitments"”) becomes effective, there will be Commitments or Revolving Loans attributable to a prior Extension that will remain outstanding (collectively, the "“Prior Extension Commitments"”), then, if the interest rate spread applicable to any such Current Extension Commitments exceeds the interest rate spread applicable to such Prior Extension Commitments by more than 0.25%, then the interest rate spread applicable to such Prior Extension Commitments shall be increased as of the prior Facility Termination Date so that it equals the interest rate spread applicable to the Current Extension Commitments (calculated as provided above).
(d)    The consummation and effectiveness of any Extension will be subject to a condition set forth in the relevant Extension Offer (a "“Minimum Extension Condition"”) that a minimum amount be agreed to by the Lenders subject to such Extension (to be determined in the Borrower’s discretion and specified in the relevant Extension Offer, but in no event less than $10,000,000, unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent).  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 11.2 will not apply to Extensions of Commitments pursuant to Extension Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.25, including to any payment of interest or fees in respect of any Commitments or Revolving Loans that have been extended or made pursuant to an Extension at a rate or rates different from those paid or payable in respect of Commitments or Revolving Loans of Lenders that did not extend their Commitments, in each case as is set forth in the relevant Extension Offer.
(e)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, "“Extension Amendments"”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new classes of Commitments and Revolving Loans created pursuant to an Extension, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.25.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.25 and, if the Administrative Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrower in accordance with any instructions received from such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrower unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request by the Administrative Agent for any such advice or concurrence, all such Extension Amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Lenders.  Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, the Borrower and any Subsidiary shall execute such agreements, confirmations or other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.25.   
(f)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least ten Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the 

41

Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.25. 
2.26.    Increase Option.  The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase the Commitments, in each case in minimum increments of $10,000,000 or such lower amount as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree upon, so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $85,000,000.25,000,000.  The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by all of the Lenders or, if any Lender does not consent to such increase, then by one or more Lenders (in any case, each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”) and, if the Increasing Lenders do not consent to increase their Commitments in the aggregate amount elected by the Borrower, then by the Increasing Lenders (if any) and one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Commitments, or extend Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender and each Increasing Lender shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuers and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto.  No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.26.  Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.26 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.2 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance (on a pro forma basis reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) with the covenants contained in Section 6.17 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase.  On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders, each Lender’s participation in each Facility LC and the related LC Obligations, and each Lender’s participation in each outstanding Swing Line Loan to equal its Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Revolving Loans, Facility LCs and related LC Obligations, and outstanding Swing Line Loans, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3).  The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding 

42

sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.
 
ARTICLE III
 YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES
3.1.    Yield Protection.  If, on or after the Effective Date, there occurs any adoption of, or change in, any law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or in the interpretation, promulgation, implementation or administration thereof by any governmentalGovernmental or quasi-governmental authorityGovernmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, including, notwithstanding the foregoing, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives (x) in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or (y) promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory PracticesSupervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, in each case of clauses (x) and (y), regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (any of the foregoing, a “Change in Law”) that:
(a)    subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes, Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or
(b)    imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances) and Daily Eurocurrency Loans, or
(c)    imposes any other condition (other than Taxes) the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loans or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer in connection with its Eurocurrency Loans, or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurocurrency Loans, or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein held or interest or Standby LC Fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or such LC Issuer as the case may be,

43

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Person of making or maintaining its Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs or to reduce the return received by such Person in connection with such Loans or Commitment, Facility LCs or participations therein, then, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Person, the Borrower shall pay such Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for such increased cost or reduction in amount received; provided that such Person’s method of determining any amount payable to such Person under this paragraph shall be substantially similar to the method used by such Person in implementing similar provisions for similarly situated borrowers and extensions of credit.  Each such Person will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Effective Date, which will entitle such Person to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.1.  If such Person fails to give such notice within one hundred and eighty (180) days after it obtains knowledge of such an event, such Person shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 3.1, only be entitled to payment under this Section 3.1 for costs incurred from and after the date one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Person does give such notice.
3.2.    Changes in Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Requirements Regulations.  
(a)    If a Lender or a LC Issuer determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such Lender or such LC Issuer, or any corporation or holding company controlling such Lender or such LC Issuer is increased as a result of (i) a Change in Law or (ii) any change after the Effective Date in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, then, within thirty (30) days of demand by such Lender or such LC Issuer, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital or liquidity that such Lender or such LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Facility LCs, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy and liquidity requirements), in each case that is attributable to such Change in Law or change in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, as applicable.
(b)    If any Lender determines that any Change has made it unlawful for such Lender or its applicable Lending Installation to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Advances, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Base Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue, or to convert any Advances to, Eurocurrency Advances shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Advances the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Advances of such Lender to Base Rate Advances (the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), 

44

either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Advances and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal  for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.3.    Availability of Types of Advances; Adequacy of Interest Rate.  If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans are not available to such Lenders in the relevant market or the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lenders, determines that the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans is not ascertainable or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans and require any affected Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans to be repaid or converted to Base Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4.
3.4.    Funding Indemnification.  If (a) any payment of a Eurocurrency Advance occurs on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, (b) a Eurocurrency Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of Section 2.23, (c) a Eurocurrency Loan is converted other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) the Borrower fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (other than as a result of Section 2.23), or (e) any Eurocurrency Loan is assigned other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for such Lender’s costs, expenses and Interest Differential (as determined by such Lender) incurred as a result of such prepayment.  The term “Interest Differential” shall mean that sum equal to the greater of zero or the financial loss incurred by the Lender resulting from prepayment, calculated as the difference between the amount of interest such Lender would have earned (from the investments in money markets as of the Borrowing Date of such Advance) had prepayment not occurred and the interest such Lender will actually earn (from like investments in money markets as of the date of prepayment) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment.  Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrower agrees that Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value.
3.5.    Taxes.
(a)    (a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law requires the deduction or 

45

withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authorityGovernmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) the applicable Lender, the applicable LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    (b)    The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authorityGovernmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)    (c)    The Loan Parties shall indemnify the applicable Lender, the applicable LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.5) payable or paid by such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authorityGovernmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or a LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or a LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    (d)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.2(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authorityGovernmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).
(e)    (e)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a governmental authorityGovernmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authorityGovernmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the 

46

return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f)    (f)    (i)(i)  Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.5(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    (ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)    (A)    any Lender that is a United States Person for U.S. federal income Tax purposes shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
(B)    (B)    any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    (1)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such Tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such Tax treaty;
(2)    (2)    executed originals of IRS Form W-‐8ECI;

47

3.6.Selection of Lending Installation; Mitigation Obligations; Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity.  To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurocurrency Loans or Daily Eurocurrency Loan (in the case of Swing Line Lender) to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender.  Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5.  Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

49

applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.

Any Loan Document shall fail to remain in full force or effect, or any Collateral Document shall for any reason fail to create a valid and perfected first priority interest in the collateral purported to be covered thereby (except as permitted by the terms thereof), or any action shall be taken to discontinue or to assert the invalidity or unenforceability of any Guaranty or Collateral Document, or any Guarantor or Pledgor shall fail to comply with any of the terms or provisions of any Guaranty or Collateral Document to which it is a party, or any Guarantor or Pledgor shall deny that it has any further liability under any Guaranty or Collateral Document to which it is a party, or shall give notice to such effect; provided, however, in the event that a Guarantor merges into, consolidates, liquidates, winds up or dissolves itself as allowed under the terms of this Agreement, such Guarantor shall be deemed released under the terms of its Guaranty and shall not be in default under the terms of this Section 7.14.
 
ARTICLE VIII 
ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
8.1.    Acceleration; Remedies.  
(a)    If any Event of Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuers to issue Facility LCs shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender and the Borrower will be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the Facility LC Collateral Account, equal to the difference of (x) the amount of LC Obligations at such time, less (y) the amount on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account at such time that is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties and has not been applied against the Obligations (such difference, the “Collateral Shortfall Amount”).  If any other Event of Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may (a) terminate 

69

or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuers to issue Facility LCs, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives, and (b) upon notice to the Borrower and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.
(b)    If at any time while any Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent determines that the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than zero, the Administrative Agent may make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.
(c)    The Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations and any other amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lenders or the LC Issuers under the Loan Documents, as provided in Section 8.2.
(d)    At any time while any Event of Default is continuing, neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account.  After all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, any funds remaining in the Facility LC Collateral Account shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such time.
(e)    If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligation and power of the LC Issuers to issue Facility LCs hereunder as a result of any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.
(f)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, subject to the direction of the Required Lenders, exercise all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and enforce all other rights and remedies under applicable law.
8.2.    Application of Funds.  After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.1 (or after the Obligations have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.1(a)), any amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

70

(a)    First, to payment of fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
(b)    Second, to payment of fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, Standby LC Fees and Commitment Fees) payable to the Lenders and the LC Issuers (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the respective LC Issuers as required by Section 9.6 and amounts payable under Article III);
(c)    Third, to payment of accrued and unpaid Standby LC Fees, Commitment Fees and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the LC Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this Section 8.2(c) payable to them;
(d)    Fourth, to payment of all Obligations (including, in the case of LC Obligations, the funding of the Facility LC Collateral Account, if applicable), ratably among the Lenders; and
(e)    Last, the balance, if any, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law;
Provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth in this section.
8.3.    Amendments.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.3, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default or Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall:
(a)    without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, extend the final maturity of any Loan, extend the expiry date of any Facility LC to a date after the Facility Termination Date, postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of any Loan or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof or any Reimbursement Obligation related thereto, reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon or Reimbursement Obligations related thereto, increase the amount of the Commitment of any Lender hereunder or amend Section 8.2, Section 11.2 or any other provision relating to the sharing of payments between Lenders;
(b)    without the consent of all of the Lenders, reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders;
(c)    without the consent of all of the Lenders, amend the definition of Defaulting Lender;

71

(d)    without the consent of all of the Lenders, amend Section 6.4 to permit the Borrower to carry on and conduct its business in a substantially different manner or in a substantially different field of enterprise as such business is conducted on the Closing Date;
(e)    without the consent of all of the Lenders, amend Section 12.3 to add any consents, restrictions or limitations on the right of a Lender to assign its Loans or Commitments;
(f)    without the consent of all of the Lenders, amend this Section; or
(g)    without the consent of all of the Lenders, except as otherwise permitted under Sections 6.11, 6.12 and 6.18, release any Guarantor or any Foreign Subsidiary, as applicable, of any Loans or collateral secured by the Collateral Documents.
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, and no amendment of any provision relating to the LC Issuers shall be effective without the written consent of the LC Issuers.  No amendment to any provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Lender or any Swing Line Loans shall be affective without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender.  The Administrative Agent may (i) waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.3(c) and (ii) implement any flex provisions contained in the fee letter described in Section 10.13 or any commitment letter delivered in connection with the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement (the “Flex-Pricing Provisions”) without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as, in the case of any implementation of any flex provisions, the Administrative Agent’s actions would not require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency of a technical or immaterial nature, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent.
8.4.    Preservation of Rights.  No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuers or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence.  Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth.  All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such).  The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.  This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that the Arranger shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.6, 9.10 and 10.11 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.

The Borrower acknowledges that from time to time U.S. Bank may prepare and may distribute to the Lenders (but shall have no obligation or duty to prepare or to distribute to the Lenders) certain audit reports (the “Reports”) pertaining to the Borrower’s assets for internal use by U.S. Bank from information furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, after U.S. Bank has exercised its rights of inspection pursuant to this Agreement.
(b)    The Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each LC Issuer, each Lender, their respective affiliates, and each of their directors, officers and employees, agents and advisors against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel) whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer, any Lender or any affiliate is a party thereto and whether or not brought by a third party or by the Borrower) that any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Credit Extension hereunder except to the extent that they are determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and settlement costs.  The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.7.    Numbers of Documents.  All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests hereunder shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Administrative Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders.
9.8.    Accounting.  Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4, except that any calculation or determination that is to be made on a consolidated basis shall be made for the Borrower and all of its Subsidiaries, including those Subsidiaries, if any, that are unconsolidated on the Borrower’s audited financial statements; provided, however that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification Section 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein, or (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.  If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth 

74

in any Loan Document, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders), provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reconciliation statements showing the difference in such calculation, together with the delivery of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements required hereunder.
9.9.    Severability of Provisions.  Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
9.10.    Nonliability of Lenders.  The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders, the LC Issuers and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations.  The Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer nor any Lender nor any of their respective affiliates or any of their directors, officers and employees or agents and advisors shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.  It is agreed that the Arranger shall, in its capacity as such, have no duties or responsibilities under the Agreement or any other Loan Document.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied and will not rely on the Arranger in deciding to enter into the Agreement or any other Loan Document or in taking or not taking any action.
9.11.    Confidentiality.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information that it may receive from the Borrower in connection with this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (a) to its Affiliates and to the Administrative Agent and any other Lender and their respective Affiliates who have a need to know, (b) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or to a Transferee, (c) to regulatory officials, (d) to any Person as requested pursuant to or as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (e) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which it is a party, (f) to its direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, (g) permitted by 

75

Article XII, (h) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Advances hereunder, (i) with the consent of the Borrower, and (j) to the extent information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a), (b), (f) and (g), such Person shall be advised that it is bound by these confidentiality provisions.  Without limiting Section 9.4, the Borrower agrees that the terms of this Section 9.11 shall set forth the entire agreement between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and each Lender with respect to any confidential information previously or hereafter received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with this Agreement, and this Section 9.11 shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to such confidential information.
9.12.    [Reserved].  
9.13.    Disclosure.  The Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that U.S. Bank and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with the Borrower and its Affiliates.

 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
10.1.    Appointment; Nature of Relationship.  U.S. Bank National Association is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Administrative Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article X.  Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within 

76

the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.
10.2.    Powers.  The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Administrative Agent.
10.3.    General Immunity.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.
10.4.    No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Borrower or any Guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Borrower’s or any such Guarantor’s respective Subsidiaries.
10.5.    Action on Instructions of Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.  The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

77

10.6.    Employment of Administrative Agents and Counsel.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.
10.7.    Reliance on Documents; Counsel.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent.  For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the applicable date specifying its objection thereto.

The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(g) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof.  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

78

10.9.    Notice of Event of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders; provided that, except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
10.10.    Rights as a Lender.  In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.  The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.
10.11.    Lender Credit Decision; Legal Representation.  
(a)    Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Except for any notice, report, document or other information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or Arranger hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility (either initially or on a continuing basis) to provide any Lender with any notice, report, document, credit information or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Arranger (whether or not in their respective capacity as Administrative Agent or Arranger) or any of their Affiliates.
(b)    Each Lender further acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to be represented by legal counsel in connection with its execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that it has made its own evaluation of all applicable laws and regulations relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the counsel to the Administrative Agent represents only the Administrative Agent and not the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.12.    Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates that is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder.  If the Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders.  No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment.  Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent.  Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.  After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  In the event that there is a successor to the Administrative Agent by merger, or the Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Administrative Agent.
10.13.    Administrative Agent and Arranger Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, for their respective accounts, the fees agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated as of November 2, 2011,June 18, 2014, or as otherwise agreed from time to time.
10.14.    Delegation to Affiliates.  The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates.  Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) that performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X.
10.15.    Collateral.  The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower on their behalf (a) the Collateral Documents and all related financing statements and any other financing statements, agreements, documents or instruments as 

80

shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Collateral Documents, and (b) any agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any releases of collateral that shall be permitted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document or that shall otherwise have been approved by the Required Lenders (or, if required by the terms of Section 8.2, all of the Lenders) in writing.
10.16.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:  (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE XI 
 
SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS
11.1.    Setoff.  The Borrower hereby grants each Lender a security interest in all deposits, credits and deposit accounts (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) of the Borrower with such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender (the “Deposits”).  In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Event of Default occurs, Borrower authorizes each Lender to offset and apply all such Deposits toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guaranty or any other security, right or remedy available to such Lender or the Lenders.
11.2.    Ratable Payments.  If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Outstanding Credit Exposure (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure.  If any Lender, whether in connection with 

81

setoff or amounts that might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts that may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral or other protection ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure.  In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
ARTICLE XII
BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
12.1.    Successors and Assigns.  The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3, and (iii) any transfer by participation must be made in compliance with Section 12.2.  Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 12.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 12.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender or (y) in the case of a Lender that is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3.  The Administrative Agent may treat the Person that made any Loan or that holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person that made any Loan or that holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person.  Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.  Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.
12.2.    Participations.
(a)    Permitted Participants; Effect.  Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other 

82

parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Outstanding Credit Exposure and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.
(b)    Voting Rights.  Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents provided that each such Lender may agree in its participation agreement with its Participant that such Lender will not vote to approve any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Outstanding Credit Exposure or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest that would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.3.
(c)    Benefit of Certain Provisions.  The Lenders agree to share with each Participant any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.  The Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 9.6 and 9.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or 3.2 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower, and (ii) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account (A) except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in treaty, law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authorityGovernmental Authority) that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation and (B), in the case of any Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender, such Participant agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.5(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as ana non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in any Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant'’s interest in any Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents 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 

83

Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
12.3.    Assignments.
(a)    Permitted Assignments.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.  Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as may be agreed to by the parties thereto.  Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of the assigning Lender or  (unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000.  The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Commitment or Outstanding Credit Exposure (if the Commitment has been terminated) subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Trade Date,” if the “Trade Date” is specified in the assignment.
(b)    Consents.  The consent of the Borrower shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof.  The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.  The consent of the LC Issuers shall be required prior to an assignment of a Revolving Commitment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender with a Revolving Commitment.  Any consent required under this Section 12.3(b) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c)    Effect; Effective Date.  Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an assignment, together with any consents required by Sections 12.3(a) and 12.3(b), and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment.  The assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA.  On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent.  In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that survive payment of the 

84

Obligations and termination of the applicable agreement.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.3 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 Section 12.2.  Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3(c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.
(d)    Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States of America, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender, and participations of each Lender in Facility LCs, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or, with respect to a Lender’s entry, such Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)    Dissemination of Information.  The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any Reports; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this Agreement.
12.4.    Tax Treatment.  If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(d).

For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the final paragraph of this Schedule:
“Financials” means the annual or quarterly financial statements of the Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or (b).
“Level I Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00.
“Level II Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00 but less than 1.50 to 1.00.
“Level III Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00 but less than 2.00 to 1.00.
“Level IV Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 but less than 2.50 to 1.00.
“Level V Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00.
“Status” means either Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status or Level V Status.
Initially, the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Fee Rate shall be determined based on Level II Status.  Thereafter, the Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the Borrower’s Status as reflected in the then most recent Financials.  Adjustments, if any, to the Applicable Margin or Applicable Fee Rate shall be effective from and after the first day of the first fiscal month immediately following the date on which the delivery of such Financials is required until the first day of the first fiscal month 

    

immediately following the next such date on which delivery of such Financials of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is so required.  If the Borrower fails to deliver the Financials to the Administrative Agent at the time required pursuant to Section 6.1, then the Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be the highest Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate set forth in the foregoing table until such Financials are so delivered.  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the Borrower’s Financials or for any other reason, the Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines that (i) the Leverage Ratio as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) an accurate calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher Applicable Margin or Applicable Fee Rate for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, under 2.19(d), 2.19(f) or 2.10 or under Article VII.  The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Loans and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

(c)    Making of Swing Line Loans; Participations.  Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Minneapolis time) on the applicable Borrowing Date, the Swing Line Lender shall make available the Swing Line Loan, in funds immediately available, to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII.  The Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Swing Line Lender available to the Borrower on the Borrowing Date at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.  Each time that a Swing Line Loan is made by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swing Line Lender a participation in such Swing Line Loan in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.
(d)    Repayment of Swing Line Loans.  Each Swing Line Loan shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the date selected by the Administrative Agent.  In addition, the Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole discretion with respect to any outstanding Swing Line Loan, require each Lender to fund the participation acquired by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(c) or require each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Loan in the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan (including, without limitation, any interest accrued and unpaid thereon), for the purpose of repaying such Swing Line Loan.  Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) on the date of any notice received pursuant to this Section 2.4(d), each Lender shall make available its required Revolving Loan, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII.  Revolving Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) shall initially be Base Rate Loans and thereafter may be continued as Base Rate Loans or converted into Eurocurrency Loans in the manner provided in Section 2.9 and subject to the other conditions and limitations set forth in this Article II.  Unless a Lender shall have notified the Swing Line Lender, prior to the Swing Line Lender’s making any Swing Line Loan, that any applicable condition precedent set forth in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 had not then been satisfied, such Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) to repay Swing Line Loans or to fund the participation acquired pursuant to Section 2.4(c) shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any other Person, (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, or (d) any other circumstances, happening or event whatsoever.  In the event that any Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.4(d), interest shall accrue thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand and ending on the date such amount is received and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied.  On the Facility Termination Date, the Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loans.

24

2.5.    Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share a commitment fee (“Commitment Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Fee Rate on the average daily Available Aggregate Commitment from the Effective Date to and including the Facility Termination Date, payable in arrears on the last day of each quarter hereafter and on the Facility Termination Date.  Commercial Letters of Credit (including Banker’s Acceptances) shall not count as usage of the Aggregate Commitment for the purpose of calculating the Commitment Fee due hereunder with respect to any Lender.  In addition, Swing Line Loans shall not count as usage of the Aggregate Commitment for the purpose of calculating the Commitment Fee due hereunder with respect to any Lender other than the Swing Line Lender, except to the extent another Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loans has been funded by such Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower in writing if any Lender funds its participation in any Swing Line Loan.
2.6.    Minimum Amount of Each Advance.  Each Eurocurrency Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and incremental amounts in integral multiples of $500,000, and each Base Rate Advance (other than an Advance to repay Swing Line Loans) shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and incremental amounts in integral multiples of $500,000, provided, however, that any Base Rate Advance may be in the amount of the Available Aggregate Commitment.
2.7.    Reductions in Aggregate Commitment; Optional Principal Payments.  The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders in integral multiples of $5,000,000, upon at least five Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure.  All accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Credit Extensions hereunder.  The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans), or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000, any portion of the outstanding Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) upon same day notice to the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower may at any time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender by 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) on the date of repayment.  The Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Eurocurrency Advances, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000, any portion of the outstanding Eurocurrency Advances upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent.
2.8.    Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances.  The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurocurrency Advance, the Interest Period and Agreed Currency applicable thereto from time to time.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit C (a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) on the Borrowing Date of each Base Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan), two Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each 

25

Eurocurrency Advance in Dollars and four Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurocurrency Advance in a currency other than Dollars, specifying:
(a)    the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,
(b)    the aggregate amount of such Advance,
(c)    the Type of Advance selected, and
(d)    in the case of each Eurocurrency Advance, the Interest Period and Agreed Currency applicable thereto.
Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Notice in accordance with this Section 2.8, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested borrowing.  Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Minneapolis time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII.  The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.
2.9.    Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances; Maximum Number of Interest Period.  Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as Base Rate Advances unless and until such Base Rate Advances are converted into Eurocurrency Advances pursuant to this Section 2.9 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.7.  Each Eurocurrency Advance denominated in Dollars shall continue as a Eurocurrency Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurocurrency Advance shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurocurrency Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 or (y) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Advance continue as a Eurocurrency Advance for the same or another Interest Period.  Each Eurocurrency Advance denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall automatically continue as a Eurocurrency Advance in the same Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month unless (x) such Eurocurrency Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 or (y) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Advance continue as a Eurocurrency Advance in the same Agreed Currency for the same or another Interest Period.  Subject to the terms of Section 2.6, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Base Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) into a Eurocurrency Advance.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Base Rate Advance into a Eurocurrency Advance, conversion of a Eurocurrency Advance to a Base Rate Advance, or continuation of a Eurocurrency Advance not later than 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) at least two Business Days (four Business Days for Eurocurrency Advances in currencies other than Dollars) prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

26

(a)    the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation,
(b)    the Agreed Currency amount and Type of the Advance that is to be converted or continued, and
(c)    the amount of such Advance that is to be converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
After giving effect to all Advances, all conversions of Advances from one Type to another and all continuations of Advances of the same type, there shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect hereunder.

2.10.    Interest Rates.  Each Base Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurocurrency Advance into a Base Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.9, to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a Eurocurrency Advance pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day.  Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day, the Daily Eurocurrency Rate or another rate if agreed to by the Borrower and the Swing Loan Lender.  Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Base Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate.  Each Eurocurrency Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Eurocurrency Advance based upon the Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.8 and 2.9 and the Pricing Schedule.  No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date.
2.11.    Rates Applicable After Event of Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.8, 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Advance.  During the continuance of an Event of Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Advance in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall be converted to an Advance in the Dollar Amount, (ii) each Eurocurrency Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2.00% per annum, (iii) each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2.00% per annum, and (iv) the Standby LC Fee shall be increased by 2.00% per annum, provided that, during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.6 or 7.7, the interest rates set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) above and the increase in the Standby LC Fee set forth in clause (iv) above shall be applicable to all Credit 

27

Extensions without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.  After an Event of Default has been cured or waived, the interest rate applicable to advances and the Standby LC Fee shall revert to the rates applicable prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.

2.12.    Method of Payment.
(a)    Each Advance shall be repaid and each payment of interest thereon shall be paid in the currency in which such Advance was made.  All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 12:00 noon (Minneapolis time) on the date when due and shall (except (i) with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans, (ii) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations for which the LC Issuers have not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or (iii) as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders.  Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender.  The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with U.S. Bank for each payment of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees as it becomes due hereunder.  Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.12 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuers, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrower to the LC Issuers pursuant to Section 2.19(f).
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Advance in any currency other than Dollars, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country that issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Advance was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrower take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.
2.13.    Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Agreed Currency and Type thereof 
and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the original stated amount of each Facility LC and the amount of LC Obligations outstanding at any time, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

28

(c)    The entries in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.
(d)    Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or, in the case of the Swing Line Lender, promissory notes representing its Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, respectively, substantially in the form of Exhibit D, with appropriate changes for notes evidencing Swing Line Loans (each a “Note”).  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note or Notes payable to the order of such Lender in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clauses (b)(i) and (ii) above.
2.14.    Telephonic Notices.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Agreed Currencies and Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically.  The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation (which may be an e-mail confirmation) of each telephonic notice authenticated by an Authorized Officer.  If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.  The parties agree to prepare appropriate documentation to correct any such error within 10 days after discovery by any party to this Agreement.
2.15.    Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis.  Interest accrued on each Base Rate Advance and each Swing Line Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such Payment Date to occur after the Effective Date and at maturity.  Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurocurrency Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity.  Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period.  Interest on all Advances and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, except that Interest on any Advance that bears 

29

interest at the Prime Rate option of the Alternate Base Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year.  Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon (local time) at the place of payment.  If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
2.16.    Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.  Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder.  Promptly after notice from the applicable LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of a Facility LC hereunder.  The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the currency and interest rate applicable to each Eurocurrency Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
2.17.    Lending Installations.  Each Lender may book its Advances and its participation in any LC Obligations and a LC Issuer may book the Facility LCs at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time.  All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or each LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation.  Each Lender and each LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Facility LCs will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Facility LCs are to be made.
2.18.    Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.  Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made.  The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption.  If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.
2.19.    Facility LCs.

30

(a)    Issuance.  Each LC Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in reliance on the agreements of the Lenders in Sections 2.19(b) and 2.19(e), to issue standby Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or other Agreed Currencies, commercial Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or other Agreed Currencies and, in its discretion, Banker’s Acceptances (each such standby Letter of Credit, commercial Letter of Credit or Banker’s Acceptance, a “Facility LC”) and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Facility LC (“Modify,” and each such action a “Modification”), from time to time from and including the Effective Date and prior to the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower; provided that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified, (i) the aggregate Dollar Amount of the outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed $75,000,000, (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, and (iii) the aggregate Dollar Amounts of the outstanding LC Obligations with respect to standby Letters of Credit shall not exceed $25,000,000.  Without limiting the foregoing, all Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed without further action of the parties to be Facility LCs issued hereunder and subject to the terms hereof.  No Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the earlier to occur of (x) the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date and (y) one year after its issuance; provided, however, that the expiry date of a Facility LC may be up to one year later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date if the Borrower has posted on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date cash collateral in the Facility LC Collateral Account on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Issuer in an amount equal to 105% of the LC Obligations with respect to such Facility LC.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Loan Document, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all Banker’s Acceptances shall be treated as Facility LCs for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation for the purposes of (A) determining (I) outstanding LC Obligations and (II) Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure, (B) participation by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19(b) and reimbursement by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19(e), (C) cash collateralization pursuant to Section 2.19(k), and (D) Defaulting Lender provisions pursuant to Section 2.22) and shall constitute Obligations guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured by any collateral.  Each Facility LC shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98, as set forth in the Letter of Credit Application or as determined by the applicable LC Issuer.
(b)    Participations.  Upon the issuance or Modification by a LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.19, such LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from such LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.
(c)    Notice.  Subject to Section 2.19(a), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice prior to 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) at least five Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC, specifying the LC Issuer, the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative 

31

Agent shall promptly notify the applicable LC Issuer and each Lender, of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such proposed Facility LC.  The issuance or Modification by a LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to such LC Issuer and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such Letter of Credit Application and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as such LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC Application”).  The applicable LC Issuer shall have no independent duty to ascertain whether the conditions set forth in Article IV have been satisfied; provided, however, that such LC Issuer shall not issue a Facility LC if, on or before the proposed date of issuance, such LC Issuer shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that any such condition has not been satisfied or waived.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(d)    LC Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, with respect to each Facility LC that is a standby Letter of Credit, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans in effect from time to time multiplied by the amount available to be drawn under such Facility LC from time to time for the period from the date of issuance to the scheduled expiration date of such Facility LC, such fee to be payable in arrears on the last day of each quarter (the “Standby LC Fee”).  The Borrower shall also pay to the applicable LC Issuer of any Facility LC (including without limitation commercial Letters of Credit and/or Banker’s Acceptances) for its own account (x) a fronting fee in an amount agreed upon between such LC Issuer and the Borrower and (y) on demand, all amendment, drawing and other fees regularly charged by such LC Issuer to its letter of credit customers and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such LC Issuer in connection with the issuance, Modification, administration or payment of any Facility LC (including without limitation commercial Letters of Credit and/or Banker’s Acceptances).
(e)    Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders.  Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC, the applicable LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by such LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”).  The responsibility of the applicable LC Issuer to the Borrower and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC.  Each Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse such LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Amount of each payment made by such LC Issuer under each Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(f) below and there are not funds available in the Facility LC Collateral Account to cover the same, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of such LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be 

32

reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three days and, thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances.
(f)    Reimbursement by Borrower.  The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the applicable LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts required to be paid by such LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC issued by it, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither the Borrower nor any Lender shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) such LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC, in each case as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  All such amounts paid by such LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by the Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2.00% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date.  The applicable LC Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from the Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to such LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 2.19(e).  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section 2.8 and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), the Borrower may request an Advance hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.
(g)    Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.19 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Facility LC.  The Borrower further agrees with the LC Issuers and the Lenders that, except as provided in Section 2.19(f), the LC Issuers and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, any of its Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower or of any of its Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.19(f), no LC Issuer shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC issued by it.  The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or 

33

willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not put any LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to the Borrower; provided that any determination of gross negligence or willful misconduct must be a determination in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Nothing in this Section 2.19(g) is intended to limit the right of the Borrower to make a claim against a LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.19(f).
(h)    Actions of LC Issuer.  Each LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex, teletype or electronic mail message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such LC Issuer.  Each LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.19, each LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC.
(i)    Indemnification.  The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, each LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) that such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent may incur (or that may be claimed against such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Facility LC or any actual or proposed use of any Facility LC, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) that such LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with (i) the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to such LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against any Defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of such LC Issuer issuing any Facility LC that specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Facility LC does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to such LC Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (y) such LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC, in each case as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent 

34

jurisdiction.  Nothing in this Section 2.19(i) is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.
(j)    Lenders’ Indemnification.  Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify each LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or such LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility LC, in each case as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.19 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.
(k)    Facility LC Collateral Account.  The Borrower agrees that it will, at any time an Event of Default exists, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders until the earlier of (i) the cure of such Event of Default or (ii) the final expiration date of any Facility LC and payment to the applicable LC Issuer or the Lenders in respect of any Facility LC and Obligations in connection therewith, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (the “Facility LC Collateral Account”), in the name of such Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which such Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1.  The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the applicable LC Issuer(s), a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds that are from time to time on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations.  The Administrative Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of U.S. Bank having a maturity not exceeding 30 days.  Nothing in this Section 2.19(k) shall either obligate the Administrative Agent to require the Borrower to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account or limit the right of the Administrative Agent to release any funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account in each case other than as required by Section 8.1.
(l)    Rights as a Lender.  In its capacity as a Lender, each LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.
(m)    Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Facility LC issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable LC Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Facility LC.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Facility LCs for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
2.20.    Replacement of Lender.  If the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender or if any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Advances shall be suspended 

35

pursuant to Section 3.3 or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or declines to approve an amendment or waiver that is approved by the Required Lenders (any Lender so affected an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit B and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.3 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment that would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.
2.21.    Limitation of Interest.  The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 2.21 shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 2.21, even if such provision declares that it controls.  As used in this Section 2.21, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation that constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of the Obligations.  In no event shall the Borrower or any other Person be obligated to pay, or any Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (x) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious interest permitted under the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of any applicable state, or (y) total interest in excess of the amount that such Lender could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the Obligations at the Highest Lawful Rate.  On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “Stated Rate”) called for under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the Highest Lawful Rate for that day.  Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, at which time the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate.  The daily interest rates to be used in calculating interest at the Highest Lawful Rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable Highest Lawful Rate per annum by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made.  None of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or in any other Loan Document that directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 2.21, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in 

36

excess of the Highest Lawful Rate.  If the term of any Obligation is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason any Lender at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Highest Lawful Rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event, and, if such excess interest has been paid to such Lender, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Borrower’s obligations to such Lender, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs that causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.
2.22.    Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)    fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.5;
(b)    the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.2), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;
(c)    if any Swing Line Loans shall be outstanding or any LC Obligations exist at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)    all or any part of the unfunded participations in and commitments with respect to such Swing Line Loans or LC Obligations shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Outstanding Credit Exposure plus such Defaulting Lenders’ Loans and participations in and commitments with respect to Loans and Facility LCs does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Article IV are satisfied at such time; provided, that the Standby LC Fees payable to the Lenders shall be determined taking into account any such reallocation;
(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay the Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the outstanding Swing Line Loans that were not reallocated and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.1 for so long as such Facility LC Exposure is outstanding;

37

(iii)    if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure is cash collateralized by the Borrower; and
(iv)    if any Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure is not cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable LC Issuer(s) or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.19(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure that have been reallocated to the other Lenders (and, for clarification, not any portion that has been cash collateralized) shall be payable to the non-defaulting Lenders and the applicable LC Issuer(s) (to the extent not reallocated to the non-defaulting Lenders) until such Facility LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(d)    so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no LC Issuer shall be required to issue or Modify any Facility LC, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by cash collateral provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.22(c) or will be allocated to non-defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.22(c); and
(e)    any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.2 but excluding Section 2.20) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as are determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the LC Issuers or Swing Line Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Revolving Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participating interest in any Swing Line Loan or Facility LC in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, 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, (vi) sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower 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, (vii) seventh, if so determined by the Administrative Agent, distributed to the Lenders other than the Defaulting Lender until the ratio of the Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Lenders to the Aggregate Outstanding Exposure equals such ratio immediately prior to the Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund any portion of any Loans or participations in Facility LCs or Swing Line Loans and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of draws under Facility LCs with 

38

respect to which the applicable LC Issuer(s) has funded its participation obligations, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each LC Issuer and the Swing Line Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposure and Facility LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent determines necessary in order for such Lender to hold the Revolving Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  For purposes of this Section 2.22, (x) “Swing Line Exposure” shall mean, with respect to any Defaulting Lender at any time, such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans outstanding at such time and (y) “Facility LC Exposure” shall mean, with respect to any Defaulting Lender at any time, such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations at such time.
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Borrower of any of its rights or remedies (whether in equity or law) against any Lender that fails to fund any of its Loans hereunder at the time or in the amount required to be funded under the terms of this Agreement.
2.23.    Market Disruption.  Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions referred to in Article II and Article IV with respect to any Advance or Facility LC in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance or the date of issuance of such Facility LC any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls that would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders make it impracticable for the Eurocurrency Loans comprising such Advance or Facility LC to be denominated in the Agreed Currency specified by the Borrower, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, and such Loans or Facility LC shall not be denominated in such Agreed Currency but shall be made on such Borrowing Date in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be, as Base Rate Loans, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day before such date that (i) it elects not to borrow on such date or (ii) it elects to borrow on such date in a different Agreed Currency, as the case may be, in which the denomination of such Loans would in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders be practicable and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be.
2.24.    Judgment Currency.  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the 

39

specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s offices on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given.  The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency.  If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 11.2, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.
2.25.    Extensions of Commitments.
(a)    The Borrower may from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.25, agree with one or more Lenders holding Commitments to extend the Facility Termination Date, and otherwise modify the terms of such Commitments or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Commitments or any portion thereof (each such modification, an “Extension”)) pursuant to one or more written offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on their respective Pro Rata Shares) and on the same terms to each such Lender.  In connection with each Extension, the Borrower will provide notification to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders), no later than 30 days prior to the Facility Termination Date of the requested new termination date for the extended Commitments (each an “Extended Termination Date”) and the due date for Lender responses, which due date shall be at least 10 Business Days after the date of such distribution to the Lenders.  In connection with any Extension, each Lender wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide the Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Any Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension.
(b)    Each Extension shall be subject to the following:
(i)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time any Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders or at the time of such Extension;

40

(ii)    except as to interest rates, fees and termination date, the Commitment of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension shall have the same terms as the Commitments of the Banks that did not agree to the Extension Offer;
(iii)    the final termination date of the Commitments to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be later than the final termination date of the Commitments of the Banks that did not agree to the Extension Offer;
(iv)    if the aggregate amount of Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate amount of Commitments offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to the relevant Extension Offer, then such Commitments shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the relative Commitments of the Lenders that accepted such Extension Offer;
(v)    all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications by the Borrower generally directed to the applicable Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
(vi)    any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied; and
(vii)    no Extension shall become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of such Extension, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to a request for a Loan being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of such Extension), and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of such Extension and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.
(c)    If at the time any Extension of Commitments (as so extended, “Current Extension Commitments”) becomes effective, there will be Commitments or Revolving Loans attributable to a prior Extension that will remain outstanding (collectively, the “Prior Extension Commitments”), then, if the interest rate spread applicable to any such Current Extension Commitments exceeds the interest rate spread applicable to such Prior Extension Commitments by more than 0.25%, then the interest rate spread applicable to such Prior Extension Commitments shall be increased as of the prior Facility Termination Date so that it equals the interest rate spread applicable to the Current Extension Commitments (calculated as provided above).
(d)    The consummation and effectiveness of any Extension will be subject to a condition set forth in the relevant Extension Offer (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) that a minimum amount be agreed to by the Lenders subject to such Extension (to be determined in the Borrower’s discretion and specified in the relevant Extension Offer, but in no event less than $10,000,000, unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent).  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 11.2 will not apply to Extensions of Commitments pursuant to Extension Offers made pursuant to and in accordance 

41

with the provisions of this Section 2.25, including to any payment of interest or fees in respect of any Commitments or Revolving Loans that have been extended or made pursuant to an Extension at a rate or rates different from those paid or payable in respect of Commitments or Revolving Loans of Lenders that did not extend their Commitments, in each case as is set forth in the relevant Extension Offer.
(e)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, “Extension Amendments”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new classes of Commitments and Revolving Loans created pursuant to an Extension, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.25.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.25 and, if the Administrative Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrower in accordance with any instructions received from such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrower unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request by the Administrative Agent for any such advice or concurrence, all such Extension Amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Lenders.  Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, the Borrower and any Subsidiary shall execute such agreements, confirmations or other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.25.
(f)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least ten Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.25.
2.26.    Increase Option.  The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase the Commitments, in each case in minimum increments of $10,000,000 or such lower amount as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree upon, so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $25,000,000.  The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by all of the Lenders or, if any Lender does not consent to such increase, then by one or more Lenders (in any case, each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”) and, if the Increasing Lenders do not consent to increase their Commitments in the aggregate amount elected by the Borrower, then by the Increasing Lenders (if any) and one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Commitments, or extend Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender and each Increasing Lender shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuers and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto.  No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for 

42

any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.26.  Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.26 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.2 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance (on a pro forma basis reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) with the covenants contained in Section 6.17 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase.  On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders, each Lender’s participation in each Facility LC and the related LC Obligations, and each Lender’s participation in each outstanding Swing Line Loan to equal its Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Revolving Loans, Facility LCs and related LC Obligations, and outstanding Swing Line Loans, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3).  The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.
ARTICLE III 
 
YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES
3.1.    Yield Protection.  If, on or after the Effective Date, there occurs any adoption of, or change in, any law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or in the interpretation, promulgation, implementation or administration thereof by any Governmental or quasi-Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, including, notwithstanding the foregoing, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives (x) in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or (y) promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, in each case of clauses (x) and (y), regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the 

43

force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (any of the foregoing, a “Change in Law”) that:
(a)    subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes, Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or
(b)    imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances) and Daily Eurocurrency Loans, or
(c)    imposes any other condition (other than Taxes) the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loans or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer in connection with its Eurocurrency Loans, or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurocurrency Loans, or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein held or interest or Standby LC Fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or such LC Issuer as the case may be,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Person of making or maintaining its Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs or to reduce the return received by such Person in connection with such Loans or Commitment, Facility LCs or participations therein, then, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Person, the Borrower shall pay such Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for such increased cost or reduction in amount received; provided that such Person’s method of determining any amount payable to such Person under this paragraph shall be substantially similar to the method used by such Person in implementing similar provisions for similarly situated borrowers and extensions of credit.  Each such Person will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Effective Date, which will entitle such Person to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.1.  If such Person fails to give such notice within one hundred and eighty (180) days after it obtains knowledge of such an event, such Person shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 3.1, only be entitled to payment under this Section 3.1 for costs incurred from and after the date one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Person does give such notice.
3.2.    Changes in Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Requirements Regulations.
(a)    If a Lender or a LC Issuer determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such Lender or such LC Issuer, or any corporation or holding company controlling such Lender or such LC Issuer is increased as a result of (i) a Change in Law or (ii) any change 

44

after the Effective Date in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, then, within thirty (30) days of demand by such Lender or such LC Issuer, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital or liquidity that such Lender or such LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Facility LCs, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy and liquidity requirements), in each case that is attributable to such Change in Law or change in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, as applicable.
(b)    If any Lender determines that any Change has made it unlawful for such Lender or its applicable Lending Installation to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Advances, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Base Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue, or to convert any Advances to, Eurocurrency Advances shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Advances the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Advances of such Lender to Base Rate Advances (the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Advances and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal  for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.3.    Availability of Types of Advances; Adequacy of Interest Rate.  If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans are not available to such Lenders in the relevant market or the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lenders, determines that the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans is not ascertainable or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency 

45

Loans and require any affected Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans to be repaid or converted to Base Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4.
3.4.    Funding Indemnification.  If (a) any payment of a Eurocurrency Advance occurs on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, (b) a Eurocurrency Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of Section 2.23, (c) a Eurocurrency Loan is converted other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) the Borrower fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (other than as a result of Section 2.23), or (e) any Eurocurrency Loan is assigned other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for such Lender’s costs, expenses and Interest Differential (as determined by such Lender) incurred as a result of such prepayment.  The term “Interest Differential” shall mean that sum equal to the greater of zero or the financial loss incurred by the Lender resulting from prepayment, calculated as the difference between the amount of interest such Lender would have earned (from the investments in money markets as of the Borrowing Date of such Advance) had prepayment not occurred and the interest such Lender will actually earn (from like investments in money markets as of the date of prepayment) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment.  Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrower agrees that Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value.
3.5.    Taxes.
(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) the applicable Lender, the applicable LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)    The Loan Parties shall indemnify the applicable Lender, the applicable LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.5) payable or paid by such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent and any 

46

reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or a LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or a LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.2(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).
(e)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f)    (i)  Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.5(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

47

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)    any Lender that is a United States Person for U.S. federal income Tax purposes shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
(B)    any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such Tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such Tax treaty;
(2)    executed originals of IRS Form W‐8ECI;
(3)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or
(4)    to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8IMY or IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable.
(C)    any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from 

48

time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii)    Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make 

49

available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(i)    For purposes of Section 3.5(d) and (f), the term “Lender” includes each LC Issuer.
(j)    For purposes of this Section 3.5, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
3.6.    Selection of Lending Installation; Mitigation Obligations; Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity.  To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurocurrency Loans or Daily Eurocurrency Loan (in the case of Swing Line Lender) to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender.  Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5.  Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.  Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurocurrency Loan or Daily Eurocurrency Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurocurrency Loan and the Swing Line Lender funded its Daily Eurocurrency Loans through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.  Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement.  The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:
5.1.    Existence and Standing.  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership (in the case of Subsidiaries only) or limited liability company duly and 

52

properly incorporated or formed, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted in such cases where the absence of such authority would cause a Material Adverse Effect.
5.2.    Authorization and Validity.  The Borrower has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.  The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.
5.3.    No Conflict; Government Consent.  Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate (a) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (b) the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating or other management agreement, as the case may be, or (c) the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement.  No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, that has not been obtained by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, is required to be obtained by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings under this Agreement, the payment and performance by the Borrower of the Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.
5.4.    Financial Statements.  The December 28, 2013 audited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and their unaudited financial statements dated as of March 29, 2014 heretofore delivered to the Lenders were prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the date such statements were prepared and fairly present the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended.
5.5.    Material Adverse Change.  Since December 28, 2013 there has been no change in the business, Property, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

53

5.6.    Taxes.  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal Tax returns and all other Tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid all Taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except such Taxes, if any, (i) that, if left unpaid, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and could not under applicable law result in a Lien, or (ii) that are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP and as to which no Lien exists.  No Tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such Taxes.  The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.
5.7.    Litigation and Contingent Obligations.  There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or that seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Credit Extensions.  Other than (i) any liability incident to any litigation, arbitration or proceeding that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) any guaranty by the Borrower of Indebtedness of a Subsidiary of the Borrower, which Indebtedness is disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4, the Borrower has no material Contingent Obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4.
5.8.    Subsidiaries.  Schedule 5.8(a) contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries of the Borrower as of the First Amendment Date, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of organization and the percentage of their respective capital stock or other ownership interests owned by the Borrower or other Subsidiaries.  All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of such Subsidiaries have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.  Schedule 5.8(b) contains the list of all Material Subsidiaries as of the First Amendment Effective Date.  Schedule 5.8(d) contains the list of all Subsidiaries that are Guarantors as of the First Amendment Effective Date.
5.9.    ERISA.  With respect to each Plan, the Borrower and all ERISA Affiliates have paid all required minimum contributions and installments on or before the due dates provided under Section 430(j) of the Code and could not reasonably be subject to a lien under Section 430(k) of the Code or Title IV of ERISA.  Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has filed, pursuant to Section 412(c) of the Code or Section 302(c) of ERISA, an application for a waiver of the minimum funding standard.  No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
5.10.    Accuracy of Information.  No information, exhibit or report furnished by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

54

Similarly, in the event that any Foreign Subsidiary, the equity interests of which have been pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement executed in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.18, subsequently fails the Material Subsidiary Test and is not an obligor in respect of the Senior Notes, such Foreign Subsidiary may be released from the applicable pledge agreement by the Borrower providing thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, which written notice shall request such Foreign Subsidiary’s release, certify that such Foreign Subsidiary does not pass the Material Subsidiary Test and is not an obligor in respect of the Senior Notes and include calculations and other supporting information sufficient, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination, to establish that such Foreign Subsidiary does not pass the Material Subsidiary Test and is not an obligor in respect of the Senior Notes.  The Foreign Subsidiary subject of such notice shall automatically be deemed released from the pledge agreement thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such written notice unless the Administrative Agent provides written notice to the Borrower within such 30-day period stating that it disagreed with the Borrower’s calculations or requesting additional documentation necessary to substantiate such calculations or certifications.  Upon any release of a Foreign Subsidiary from a pledge agreement, the Administrative Agent shall return any pledged equity interests to the Borrower (or the Subsidiary that is the holder of the equity interests in such Foreign Subsidiary) to the extent such equity interests were held by the Administrative Agent and also release any liens filed against such equity interests.
6.19.    Sale and Lease Back Transactions.  Neither Borrower nor any Material Subsidiary shall, or shall permit any of their respective Subsidiaries, to enter into any arrangement, directly or indirectly, whereby it shall sell or transfer any property, real or personal, and thereafter lease such property for the same or substantially similar purpose or purposes as the property sold or transferred, except during any fiscal year of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary with respect to property having an aggregate value not in excess of eight percent (8%) of the consolidated total assets of the Borrower as shown on the most recent balance sheet provided pursuant to Section 6.1(a).
6.20.    Subordinated Debt.  The Borrower will not, nor will permit any Subsidiary to, (a) make any scheduled payment of the principal of or interest on any Subordinated Debt which would be prohibited by the terms of such Subordinated Debt and any related subordination agreement; (b) directly or indirectly make any prepayment on or purchase, redeem or defease any Subordinated Debt or offer to do so (whether such prepayment purchase or redemption, or 

66

offer with respect thereto, is voluntary or mandatory); (c) amend or cancel the subordination provisions applicable to any Subordinated Debt; (d) take or omit to take any action if as a result of such action or omission the subordination of such Subordinated Debt, or any part thereof, to the Obligations might be terminated, impaired or adversely affected; or (e) omit to give the Administrative Agent prompt notice of any notice received from any holder of Subordinated Debt, or any trustee therefor, or of any default under any agreement or instrument related to any Subordinated Debt by reason whereof such Subordinated Debt might become or be declared to be due or payable.
6.21.    Sanctions; PATRIOT ACT Compliance; Anti-Corruption Laws.  
(a)    The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, (i) to the extent applicable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary, refrain from doing business in a Sanctioned Country or with a Sanctioned Person in violation of the economic sanctions of the United States Government (including without limitation, OFAC), the European Union or Her Majesty’s Treasury, and (ii) provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the PATRIOT Act.
(b)    To the extent applicable to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit such Subsidiary to (i) be a Sanctioned Person, (ii) have assets in Sanctioned Countries, (iii) derive any operating income from investments in, or transactions with, Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Countries or (iv) be engaged in any transaction with any Sanctioned Person or a Person located in a Sanctioned Country.  To the extent applicable to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, the Borrower shall not and shall not permit such Subsidiary to, use any part of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder directly or indirectly to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Country.
(c)    The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, use the proceeds of the Loans in a manner that violates the PATRIOT Act, the Trading with the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. app. §§ 1-44, as amended), or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R., Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, or successor statute thereto.  The Borrower shall be, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to be, in compliance in all material respects with the PATRIOT Act.
(d)    The Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, conduct their businesses in compliance in all material respects with applicable anti-corruption laws and to institute and maintain policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with such laws.

ARTICLE VIII 
 
ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
8.1.    Acceleration; Remedies.
(a)    If any Event of Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuers to issue Facility LCs shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender and the Borrower will be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the Facility LC Collateral Account, equal to the difference of (x) the amount of LC Obligations at such time, less (y) the amount on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account at such time that is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties and has not been applied against the Obligations (such difference, the “Collateral Shortfall Amount”).  If any other Event of Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may (a) terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuers to issue Facility LCs, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives, and (b) upon notice to the Borrower and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.
(b)    If at any time while any Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent determines that the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than zero, the Administrative Agent may make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Administrative 

70

Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.
(c)    The Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations and any other amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lenders or the LC Issuers under the Loan Documents, as provided in Section 8.2.
(d)    At any time while any Event of Default is continuing, neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account.  After all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, any funds remaining in the Facility LC Collateral Account shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such time.
(e)    If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligation and power of the LC Issuers to issue Facility LCs hereunder as a result of any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.
(f)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, subject to the direction of the Required Lenders, exercise all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and enforce all other rights and remedies under applicable law.
8.2.    Application of Funds.  After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.1 (or after the Obligations have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.1(a)), any amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:
(a)    First, to payment of fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
(b)    Second, to payment of fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, Standby LC Fees and Commitment Fees) payable to the Lenders and the LC Issuers (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the respective LC Issuers as required by Section 9.6 and amounts payable under Article III);
(c)    Third, to payment of accrued and unpaid Standby LC Fees, Commitment Fees and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the LC Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this Section 8.2(c) payable to them;

71

(d)    Fourth, to payment of all Obligations (including, in the case of LC Obligations, the funding of the Facility LC Collateral Account, if applicable), ratably among the Lenders; and
(e)    Last, the balance, if any, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law;
Provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth in this section.

8.3.    Amendments.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.3, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default or Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall:
(a)    without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, extend the final maturity of any Loan, extend the expiry date of any Facility LC to a date after the Facility Termination Date, postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of any Loan or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof or any Reimbursement Obligation related thereto, reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon or Reimbursement Obligations related thereto, increase the amount of the Commitment of any Lender hereunder or amend Section 8.2, Section 11.2 or any other provision relating to the sharing of payments between Lenders;
(b)    without the consent of all of the Lenders, reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders;
(c)    without the consent of all of the Lenders, amend the definition of Defaulting Lender;
(d)    without the consent of all of the Lenders, amend Section 6.4 to permit the Borrower to carry on and conduct its business in a substantially different manner or in a substantially different field of enterprise as such business is conducted on the Closing Date;
(e)    without the consent of all of the Lenders, amend Section 12.3 to add any consents, restrictions or limitations on the right of a Lender to assign its Loans or Commitments;
(f)    without the consent of all of the Lenders, amend this Section; or
(g)    without the consent of all of the Lenders, except as otherwise permitted under Sections 6.11, 6.12 and 6.18, release any Guarantor or any Foreign Subsidiary, as applicable, of any Loans or collateral secured by the Collateral Documents.

72

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, and no amendment of any provision relating to the LC Issuers shall be effective without the written consent of the LC Issuers.  No amendment to any provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Lender or any Swing Line Loans shall be affective without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender.  The Administrative Agent may (i) waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.3(c) and (ii) implement any flex provisions contained in the fee letter described in Section 10.13 or any commitment letter delivered in connection with the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement (the “Flex-Pricing Provisions”) without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as, in the case of any implementation of any flex provisions, the Administrative Agent’s actions would not require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency of a technical or immaterial nature, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent.
8.4.    Preservation of Rights.  No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuers or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence.  Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth.  All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.
ARTICLE IX
GENERAL PROVISIONS
9.1.    Survival of Representations.  All representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in this Agreement shall survive the making of the Credit Extensions herein contemplated.
9.2.    Governmental Regulation.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no LC Issuer nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.
9.3.    Headings.  Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents.

73

9.4.    Entire Agreement.  The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof other than those contained in the fee letter described in Section 10.13 and any Flex-Pricing Provisions, all of which shall survive and remain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement.
9.5.    Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement.  The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such).  The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.  This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that the Arranger shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.6, 9.10 and 10.11 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.
9.6.    Expenses; Indemnification.
(a)    The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arranger upon demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Arranger, including, without limitation, filing and recording costs and fees, costs of any environmental review, and consultants’ fees, travel expenses and reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger and/or the allocated coasts of in-house counsel incurred from time to time, in connection with the due diligence, preparation, administration, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, distribution (including, without limitation, via DebtX and any other internet service selected by the Administrative Agent), review, amendment, modification and administration of the Loan Documents.  The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuers and the Lenders for any out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, filing and recording costs and fees, costs of any environmental review, and consultants’ fees, travel expenses and reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuers and the Lenders and/or the allocated costs of in-house counsel incurred from time to time, paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement of the Loan Documents.  Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrower under this Section include, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Reports described in the following sentence.  The Borrower acknowledges that from time to time U.S. Bank may prepare and may distribute to the Lenders (but shall have no obligation or duty to prepare or to distribute to the Lenders) certain audit reports (the “Reports”) pertaining to the Borrower’s assets for internal use by U.S. Bank from information furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, after U.S. Bank has exercised its rights of inspection pursuant to this Agreement.
(b)    The Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each LC Issuer, each Lender, their respective affiliates, and 

74

each of their directors, officers and employees, agents and advisors against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel) whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer, any Lender or any affiliate is a party thereto and whether or not brought by a third party or by the Borrower) that any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Credit Extension hereunder except to the extent that they are determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and settlement costs.  The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.7.    Numbers of Documents.  All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests hereunder shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Administrative Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders.
9.8.    Accounting.  Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4, except that any calculation or determination that is to be made on a consolidated basis shall be made for the Borrower and all of its Subsidiaries, including those Subsidiaries, if any, that are unconsolidated on the Borrower’s audited financial statements; provided, however that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification Section 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein, or (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.  If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders), provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reconciliation statements showing the difference in such calculation, together with the delivery of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements required hereunder.

75

9.9.    Severability of Provisions.  Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
9.10.    Nonliability of Lenders.  The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders, the LC Issuers and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations.  The Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer nor any Lender nor any of their respective affiliates or any of their directors, officers and employees or agents and advisors shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.  It is agreed that the Arranger shall, in its capacity as such, have no duties or responsibilities under the Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Without limiting Section 9.4, the Borrower agrees that the terms of this Section 9.11 shall set forth the entire 

76

agreement between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and each Lender with respect to any confidential information previously or hereafter received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with this Agreement, and this Section 9.11 shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to such confidential information.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
10.1.    Appointment; Nature of Relationship.  U.S. Bank National Association is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Administrative Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article X.  Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.
10.2.    Powers.  The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms 

77

of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Administrative Agent.
10.3.    General Immunity.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.
10.4.    No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Borrower or any Guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Borrower’s or any such Guarantor’s respective Subsidiaries.
10.5.    Action on Instructions of Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.  The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
10.6.    Employment of Administrative Agents and Counsel.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

78

10.7.    Reliance on Documents; Counsel.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent.  For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the applicable date specifying its objection thereto.
10.8.    Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(g) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof.  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
10.9.    Notice of Event of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders; provided that, except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

79

10.10.    Rights as a Lender.  In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.  The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.
10.11.    Lender Credit Decision; Legal Representation.
(a)    Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Except for any notice, report, document or other information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or Arranger hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility (either initially or on a continuing basis) to provide any Lender with any notice, report, document, credit information or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Arranger (whether or not in their respective capacity as Administrative Agent or Arranger) or any of their Affiliates.
(b)    Each Lender further acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to be represented by legal counsel in connection with its execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that it has made its own evaluation of all applicable laws and regulations relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the counsel to the Administrative Agent represents only the Administrative Agent and not the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
10.12.    Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding the previous 

80

sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates that is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder.  If the Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders.  No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment.  Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent.  Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.  After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  In the event that there is a successor to the Administrative Agent by merger, or the Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Administrative Agent.
10.13.    Administrative Agent and Arranger Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, for their respective accounts, the fees agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated as of June 18, 2014, or as otherwise agreed from time to time.
10.14.    Delegation to Affiliates.  The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates.  Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) that performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X.
10.15.    Collateral.  The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower on their behalf (a) the Collateral Documents and all related financing statements and any other financing statements, agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Collateral Documents, and (b) any agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any releases of collateral that shall be permitted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document or that shall otherwise have been approved by the Required Lenders (or, if required by the terms of Section 8.2, all of the Lenders) in writing.
10.16.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees 

81

that:  (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE XI
SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS
11.1.    Setoff.  The Borrower hereby grants each Lender a security interest in all deposits, credits and deposit accounts (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) of the Borrower with such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender (the “Deposits”).  In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Event of Default occurs, Borrower authorizes each Lender to offset and apply all such Deposits toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guaranty or any other security, right or remedy available to such Lender or the Lenders.
11.2.    Ratable Payments.  If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Outstanding Credit Exposure (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure.  If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts that might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts that may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral or other protection ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure.  In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

82

ARTICLE XII
BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
12.1.    Successors and Assigns.  The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3, and (iii) any transfer by participation must be made in compliance with Section 12.2.  Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 12.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 12.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender or (y) in the case of a Lender that is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3.  The Administrative Agent may treat the Person that made any Loan or that holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person that made any Loan or that holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person.  Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.  Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.
12.2.    Participations.
(a)    Permitted Participants; Effect.  Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Outstanding Credit Exposure and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

83

(b)    Voting Rights.  Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents provided that each such Lender may agree in its participation agreement with its Participant that such Lender will not vote to approve any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Outstanding Credit Exposure or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest that would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.3.
(c)    Benefit of Certain Provisions.  The Lenders agree to share with each Participant any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.  The Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 9.6 and 9.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or 3.2 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower, and (ii) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account (A) except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in treaty, law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority) that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation and (B), in the case of any Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender, such Participant agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.5(f) shall be delivered to the participating 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 (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in any Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents 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.
12.3.    Assignments.
(a)    Permitted Assignments.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.  Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B or in such 

84

other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as may be agreed to by the parties thereto.  Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of the assigning Lender or  (unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000.  The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Commitment or Outstanding Credit Exposure (if the Commitment has been terminated) subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Trade Date,” if the “Trade Date” is specified in the assignment.
(b)    Consents.  The consent of the Borrower shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof.  The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.  The consent of the LC Issuers shall be required prior to an assignment of a Revolving Commitment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender with a Revolving Commitment.  Any consent required under this Section 12.3(b) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c)    Effect; Effective Date.  Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an assignment, together with any consents required by Sections 12.3(a) and 12.3(b), and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment.  The assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA.  On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent.  In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the applicable agreement.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.3 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 Section 12.2.  Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3(c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so 

85

that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.
(d)    Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States of America, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender, and participations of each Lender in Facility LCs, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or, with respect to a Lender’s entry, such Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)    Dissemination of Information.  The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any Reports; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this Agreement.
12.4.    Tax Treatment.  If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(d).

For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the final paragraph of this Schedule:
“Financials” means the annual or quarterly financial statements of the Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or (b).
“Level I Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00.
“Level II Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00 but less than 1.50 to 1.00.
“Level III Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00 but less than 2.00 to 1.00.
“Level IV Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 but less than 2.50 to 1.00.
“Level V Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00.
“Status” means either Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status or Level V Status.
Initially, the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Fee Rate shall be determined based on Level II Status.  Thereafter, the Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the Borrower’s Status as reflected in the then most recent Financials.  Adjustments, if any, to the Applicable Margin or Applicable Fee Rate shall be effective from and after the first day of the first fiscal month immediately 

following the date on which the delivery of such Financials is required until the first day of the first fiscal month immediately following the next such date on which delivery of such Financials of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is so required.  If the Borrower fails to deliver the Financials to the Administrative Agent at the time required pursuant to Section 6.1, then the Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be the highest Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate set forth in the foregoing table until such Financials are so delivered.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the Borrower’s Financials or for any other reason, the Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines that (i) the Leverage Ratio as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) an accurate calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher Applicable Margin or Applicable Fee Rate for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, under 2.19(d), 2.19(f) or 2.10 or under Article VII.  The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Loans and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

WHEREAS, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture also provide that, in the event the Shelf Registration Statement is not effective by the Target Date, or if it ceases to be effective following the Target Date as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement (each, a “Shelf Registration Default”), the Company and the Guarantor will be required to pay Additional Interest under the Restricted Notes;

WHEREAS, the parties to the Indenture wish to clarify the procedures for the registration of the Restricted Notes under the Shelf Registration Statement, including (i) the form of unrestricted global note representing the Restricted Notes following registration of the Notes under the Securities Act upon effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement and appropriate amendments or supplements thereto, and (ii) the documentation to be provided to the Trustee in such event; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree, for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders, as follows:

ARTICLE I

Section 1.1       Capitalized Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

ARTICLE II

Section 2.1       Amendment to Section 1.1 – Definitions and Other Provisions of General Application.  Section 1.1 of the Indenture is hereby amended by adding the following definitions:

“Restricted Notes” means the Initial Notes and certain Additional Notes with identical terms as the Initial Notes issued in an exchange offer completed on September 30, 2013 in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act.

“Shelf Registration Statement” has the meaning specified in the Registration Rights Agreement. 

“Unrestricted Global Notes” means one or more permanent Global Notes in definitive fully registered form without interest coupons that does not bear and is not required to bear the Securities Act Legend. For the purpose of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Unrestricted Global Note shall be substantially in the form of Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

Amendment to Section 2.7 – Transfer and Exchange.  Section 2.7 of the Indenture is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph (i) and, to the extent necessary, section references in the Indenture shall be deemed to be modified to reflect such addition. 

(i) A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note or in any Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if: (i) the exchange and/or transfer is effected pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement and confirmed in writing by the Company through instructions which shall include information received by the Company from such holder and sent by the Company to the Registrar (with a copy to the Trustee) in a form acceptable to the Registrar (and the Trustee), on which the Registrar and Trustee may conclusively rely, and (ii) the transferor of such beneficial interest delivers to the Registrar both: (A) a written order from a participant or an indirect participant in DTC, including Euroclear and Clearstream Banking, given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note to an unrestricted global note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and (B) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase.  

If any such exchange or transfer is effected at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and the Guarantor shall provide a Guarantee and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred or exchanged pursuant to this paragraph (i).

2

                                                                                                                                                                              

 

 

Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect such transfers.  Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note or a Regulation S Global Note.

Upon any exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, the beneficial interest in such Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, to be so transferred or exchanged shall be marked to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest to be so exchanged for an interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. Until so transferred or exchanged in full, the Restricted Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

5.696% Guaranteed Notes due 2023

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of 5.696% Guaranteed Notes Due 2023 of the Company guaranteed by the Guarantor. The Notes constitute senior unsecured obligations of the Company, initially in an aggregate principal amount of US$[_], and mature at 100% of the principal amount on September 16, 2023.

1.         Indenture. 

The Notes are, and shall be, issued under an Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2013 (the “Indenture”), among Embraer Overseas Limited, Embraer S.A. and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, Registrar, Transfer Agent and Principal Paying Agent (the “Trustee”). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to the benefit of, be bound by and be deemed to have notice of, all provisions of the Indenture. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all supplemental indentures thereto for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes, are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. Copies of the Indenture and each Global Note shall be available for inspection at the offices of the Trustee and each Paying Agent.

The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue Additional Notes having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects, except for issue date, issue price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date thereof and the first payment of interest thereon after the issue date thereof. Additional Notes issued in this manner shall be consolidated with and shall form a single series with the previously outstanding Notes.

The Notes include the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Notes issued in accordance with Section 2.14 of the Indenture and any Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Initial Notes or Additional Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2013, among the Company, the Guarantor and the Initial Purchasers (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and the Exchange Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture.

The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the creation of Liens by the Guarantor and the Company and consolidation, merger and certain other transactions involving the Guarantor. In addition, the Indenture requires the maintenance of insurance for the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, the maintenance of the existence of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, the payment of certain taxes and claims and reporting requirements applicable to the Guarantor.

2.         Guarantee. 

A-5

 

 

  

 

The Guarantor shall unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, the Company’s payment obligations under the Notes and the Indenture. The obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall rank:

(i)         equal in right of payment to all other existing and future senior unsecured debt of the Guarantor subject to statutory preferences under applicable law, including labor and tax claims; and

(ii)        senior in right of payment to the Guarantor’s subordinated debt. A Guarantee of the Guarantor is annexed to this Note.

3.         Interest. 

The Notes bear interest at the rate per annum shown above from September 16, 2013 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below)to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semiannually in arrears on March 16 and September 16 of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on September 16, 2014. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

If the Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) has been declared effective and thereafter ceases to be effective or the prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable, in each case whether or not permitted by the Registration Rights Agreement, at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and such failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 45 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 3−month period or 90 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12−month period (each, a "Registration Default"), then the interest rate on the Notes will be increased by 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period beginning on the day immediately following such Registration Default and by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, in each case until and including the date such Registration Default ends, up to a maximum increase of 0.5% per annum.

For the avoidance of doubt, any increase in the interest rate pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall not be cumulative. The Holder of this security is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement.

4.         Principal. 

Unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled, the Notes shall be redeemed at 100% of the principal amount thereon on September 16, 2023.

5.         Method of Payment. 

Principal of, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, and any Additional Amounts due in respect of, this Note shall be payable at the Corporate Trust Office, at the offices of the Trustee and, subject to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto, at the specified offices of any other Paying Agent appointed by the Company.

A-6

 

 

  

 

Payments of interest  (including Additional Interest, if any) and any Additional Amounts due in respect of each Note shall be made on each Interest Payment Date by the Paying Agents to the Person in whose name such Note is registered as shown on the Register at the close of business on March 1 and September 1 as the case may be (each, a “Record Date”), next preceding such Interest Payment Date.

Payments in respect of each Note shall be made by U.S. Dollar check drawn on a bank in New York City and may be mailed to the Holder of such Note at its address appearing in the Register. Upon written application by the Holder to the specified office of any Paying Agent not less than 10 days before the due date for any payment in respect of a Note, such payment may be made by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in New York City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in respect of Notes registered in the name of DTC or its nominee shall be effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

The Company and the Guarantor shall make all payments on this Note exclusively in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debt. Except as provided in Section 2.8 of the Indenture, no fees or expenses shall be charged to the Holders in respect of such payments.

If the Payment Date in respect of any Note is not a business day at the place in which it is presented for payment, the Holder thereof shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next succeeding business day at such place and shall not be entitled to any further interest (including Additional Interest, if any) or other payment in respect of any such delay.

If the amount of principal or interest  (including Additional Interest, if any) and any Additional Amounts due on the Notes is not paid in full, the Registrar shall annotate the Register with a record of the amount of principal or interest  (including Additional Interest, if any) and any Additional Amounts due with respect thereto, in fact paid, if any.

6.         Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent. 

The Trustee shall act as Registrar and Transfer Agent. The Bank of New York Mellon shall act as Principal Paying Agent of the Notes. The Company may appoint and change any Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent without notice.

7.         Additional Amounts. 

All payments by the Company or the Guarantor in respect of the Notes or the Guarantee, as the case may be, including, without limitation, Additional Interest, if any, shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of Brazil or the Cayman Islands or a successor jurisdiction or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Company or the Guarantor (as guarantor of the Notes), as applicable, shall make such deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and pay to each Holder such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amounts receivable by the Holders (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction shall equal 

the respective amounts of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the absence of such withholding or deduction.

A-7

 

 

  

 

(a)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Guarantor will have to pay Additional Amounts:

(i)         to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Note by reason of such Holder or the beneficial owner having some connection with Brazil or the Cayman Islands other than the mere holding of the Note and the receipt of payments with respect to the Note;

(ii)        in respect of Notes surrendered (if surrender is required) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the Holder of such Note would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on surrender of such Note for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days;

(iii)       where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such directive;

(iv)       to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges by reason of the failure of such Holder or the beneficial owner to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with Brazil, the Cayman Islands or a successor jurisdiction or applicable political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having power to tax, of such Holder or the beneficial owner, if compliance is required by such jurisdiction, or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having power to tax, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the tax, assessment or other governmental charge and the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, has given the Holders at least 30 days’ notice that Holders will be required to provide such certification, identification or other requirement;

(v)        in respect of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

(vi)       in respect of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Note or by direct payment by the Company or the Guarantor in respect of claims made against the Company or the Guarantor;

(vii)      any combination of the above.

A-8

 

 

  

 

For purposes of the provisions described above, “Relevant Date” means whichever is the later of (i) the date on which such payment first becomes due and (ii) if the full amount payable has not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due date, the date on which notice is given to the Holders that the full amount is so received by the Trustee. The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation. Except as specifically provided above, neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be required to make a payment with respect to any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

In the event that Additional Amounts actually paid with respect to the Notes described above are based on rates of deduction or withholding of withholding taxes in excess of the appropriate rate applicable to the Holder of such Notes, and, as a result thereof such Holder is entitled to make claim for a refund or credit of such excess from the authority imposing such withholding tax, then such Holder shall, by accepting such Notes, be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right, title, and interest to any such claim for a refund or credit of such excess to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be.

The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall also pay any present or future stamp, court, issue, registration or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in any jurisdiction from execution, delivery, registration or making of payments or enforcement in respect of the Notes and the Guarantee, excluding any such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction outside of Brazil or the Cayman Islands other than those resulting from, or required to be paid in connection with, the enforcement of the Notes and the Guarantee following the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

No Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to a payment on any Note or the Guarantee to a Holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or beneficial owner would not have been entitled to receive payment of the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of the Note.

The Company or the Guarantor shall provide the Trustee with the official acknowledgment of the relevant taxing authority (or, if such acknowledgement is not available, a certified copy thereof, or other available documentation) evidencing any payment of taxes in respect of which the Company or the Guarantor has paid any Additional Amounts. Copies of such documentation shall be made available to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes or the Paying Agents, as applicable, upon request therefor.

8.         Open Market Purchases. 

The Company, the Guarantor or any of their Affiliates may at any time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise at any agreed upon price. Any Notes may be cancelled or resold at the option of the Company, but shall only be resold in accordance with applicable securities and other laws.

A-9

 

 

  

 

9.         Redemption. 

(a)        Except as described in Section 3.1 of the Indenture and this Paragraph 10, the Notes may not be redeemed prior to September 16, 2023.

(b)        The Notes shall be redeemable, at the option of the Company, in whole, but not in part, upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any) and any Additional Amounts due with respect thereto, to the Redemption Date, where as a result of a change in, or amendment occurring after August 28, 2013 to, the laws of the Cayman Islands or Brazil or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (or rules and regulations thereunder or the official interpretation, administration or application thereof), the Company or the Guarantor would be required to pay Additional Amounts in excess of those attributable to Cayman Islands or Brazilian withholding tax on the basis of a statutory rate of 15%. No such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of such Notes were then due.

Prior to the publication or mailing of any notice of redemption pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the obligation of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Company or the Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it. The Company shall also deliver an Opinion of Counsel that is independent of the Company stating that the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts due to the changes in tax laws or regulations. The Trustee shall accept such certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth above, in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

(c)        The Notes shall be redeemable, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable), at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof and (ii) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest (including Additional Interest, if any)accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points (the “Make-Whole Amount”), plus in each case accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, and any Additional Amounts due with respect to, the Notes to the Redemption Date.

If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time pursuant to this Section 3(c), the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed, or, if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such 

manner as complies with applicable legal requirements) and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal of the Notes; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than US$2,000. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the method it has chosen for the selection of Notes and the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

A-10

 

 

  

 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof (at the Company’s expense) a new Note, equal in a principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered; provided  that each new Note shall be in a Principal amount of US$2,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof.

(d)       In the case of redemption of Notes pursuant to this Paragraph 10, notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 calendar days but not more than 60 calendar days before the redemption date to each Holder of any Note to be redeemed by first-class mail its registered address.

10.       Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of US$2,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof.

A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee or Transfer Agent, as the case may be, may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.

The Trustee or Transfer Agent, as the case may be, need not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes selected for redemption or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or before an Interest Payment Date.

11.       Persons Deemed Owners. 

The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner thereof for all purposes.

12.       Unclaimed Money. 

Subject to applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agents shall pay to the Company upon request any monies held by them for the payment of principal or interest (including Additional Interest, if any)on, and any Additional Amounts due with respect to, the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, and thereafter, Holders entitled to such monies must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.

13.       Defeasance. 

Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the 

Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on all the Notes to redemption or Maturity, as the case may be. In the case of legal defense, the Guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

A-11

 

 

  

 

15.       Amendment; Waiver. 

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any past Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. However, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected thereby, no amendment may, among other things:

(i)         change the Stated Maturity for any principal or interest of any Note;

(ii)        reduce the principal amount, the interest rate, the redemption price for any Note or the principal amount that would be due and payable upon acceleration;

(iii)       change the obligation to pay Additional Amounts;

(iv)       change the currency for payment of principal of, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, and any Additional Amounts due in respect of, any Note;

(v)        change the place of any payment of any Note;

(vi)       impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Note;

(vii)      change the terms of payment from, or control over, or release or reduction of any collateral or security interest to secure the payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, under any Note;

(viii)     amend or modify any provisions of the Guarantee in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the Holders; or

(ix)       make any change in the sections of this Indenture relating to supplemental indentures, waiver with the consent of Holders or waiver of past defaults, except to increase the percentage of Holders required to make a modification or waiver or to provide that certain other provisions of this cannot be modified or waived without the approval of each Holder.

The Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of any Holder of the Notes, amend the Indenture or the Notes:

A-12

 

 

  

 

(i)         cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; provided that such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder;

(ii)        to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company or the Guarantor and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company or the Guarantor herein and in the Notes;

(iii)       add additional guarantees or any collateral with respect to the Notes;

(iv)       add to the covenants of the Company or the Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders;

(v)        to surrender any right herein conferred upon the Company or the Guarantor;

(vi)       to evidence and provide for the acceptance of an appointment by a successor Trustee;

(vii)      to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with any qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

(viii)     to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes; or

(ix)       to make any other change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder;

provided that, in such case, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate, each stating that such amendment, waiver or supplement complies with the provisions of Section 9.1 of the Indenture.

16.       Defaults and Remedies. 

An “Event of Default” occurs if:

(i)         The Company or the Guarantor defaults in any payment of interest (including any Additional Interest, if any) on, and any Additional Amounts due with respect to, any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such Default continues for a period of 30 calendar days;

(ii)        The Company or the Guarantor defaults in the payment of the principal (including premium, if any, and any Additional Amounts) of any Note when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon declaration or otherwise;

(iii)       The Company or the Guarantor fails to comply with any of its covenants or agreements in the Notes or this Indenture (other than those 

referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above), and such failure continues for 60 calendar days after the notice specified below;

A-13

 

 

  

 

(iv)       The maturity of any Indebtedness of the Company, the Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary in a total aggregate principal amount of US$50,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof at the time of determination) or more is accelerated in accordance with the terms of such Indebtedness, or the failure by the Company, the Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary to make payment at maturity of such Indebtedness (after giving effect to any grace period provided in the terms of such Indebtedness), it being understood that prepayment or redemption by the Company, the Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary of any Indebtedness is not an acceleration for this purpose;

(v)        One or more final judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of US$50,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof at the time of determination) in the aggregate are rendered against the Company, the Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary and are not paid (whether in full or in installments in accordance with the terms of the judgment) or otherwise discharged and, in the case of each such judgment or decree, either (a) an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree and is not dismissed within 30 days following commencement of such enforcement proceedings or (b) there is a period of 60 days following such judgment during which such judgment or decree is not discharged, waived or the execution thereof stayed;

(vi)       An Illegality Event shall have occurred and be continuing;

(vii)      A final judgment or judgments (not subject to appeal) determines the guarantees of the Notes to be unenforceable or invalid, such guarantees cease for any reason to be valid and binding or enforceable against the Guarantor, or any person acting on its behalf denies or disaffirms its obligations under such guarantees; or

(viii)     certain events of bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency of the Company, the Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary as set forth in the Indenture.

A Default under clause (iii) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes notify the Guarantor of the Default and the Guarantor does not cure, or cause to be cured such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice.

For purposed of the cross-acceleration provision described in (iv), above, “Indebtedness” will not include any payment made by the Guarantor on behalf of an Affiliate, upon any Indebtedness of such Affiliate becoming immediately due and payable as a result of a default by such Affiliate, pursuant to a guarantee or similar instrument provided by the Guarantor in connection with such Indebtedness, provided that such payment made by the Guarantor is made 

within five business days of notice being provided to the Guarantor that payment is due under such guarantee or similar instrument.

The Trustee is not to be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or knowledge of any cure of any Default or Event of Default unless written notice of such Default or Event of Default has been given to authorized officer or agent of the Trustee with direct responsibility for the Indenture by the Guarantor, the Company or any Holder.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (vii) above) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any)on, and any Additional Amounts due with respect to, all Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company or the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if the notice is given by the Holders) stating that such notice is an “acceleration notice,” and upon any such declaration such amounts shall become due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (vii) above occurs and is continuing, then the principal of, and accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any)on, and any Additional Amounts due with respect to, all Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to such provision for the indemnification of the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes by written notice to the Company and the Trustee may rescind or annul a declaration of acceleration if (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all overdue interest (including Additional Interest, if any)on Outstanding Notes, all unpaid principal of the Notes that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, interest on such overdue interest (including Additional Interest, if any)as provided in the Indenture, any Additional Amounts due with respect to the Notes and all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and (ii) all Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal that has become due solely because of acceleration.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Indenture, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or the Guarantor or their respective Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or the Guarantor or their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

18.       Governing Law. 

THE INDENTURE AND THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

19.       No Recourse Against Others. 

No director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or any obligations of the Company or the Trustee under the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

20.       CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP or ISIN numbers, as applicable, to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP or ISIN numbers, as applicable, in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
